Point Restaurant & Bar

This restaurant is like the school cafeteria for adults… which is pretty appealing. I really like all the retro décor. I feel cosseted and safe when I see naturally Nawlins words like «Schwegmann’s», «McKenzie» and «Hubig Pies». The shepard’s pie was fantastic. I have not had shepard’s pie since I was a school girl. This was a genuine pleasure. The red bean were good but I wouldn’t say they were great and they definitely were not worth returning over. The shepard’s pie was a treat but the corn was tasteless and the salad was over vinigarized. I was not impressed by the lack of choices. I guess the lack of choices is what lends to the cafeteria atmosphere. It has a theme which is fun. I’m actually not against returning every once in awhile but I would not be regular.

My favorite spaghetti on Wednesday and chicken on Thursday. My grandmother used to call this worker man’s lunch. Whatever it is called, you will definitely be satisfied.

Delicious poboy sando, and tasty fries. Clean and bright inside, a nice change from the surrounding industrial area. Service could have been a little friendlier, but it’s order-​at-​the-​counter style anyway, so that’s not a big deal. If you’re in the area, it’s a good lunch spot…

I’m kind of torn about The Point.
This is a neat little lunch place in Harvey. They only serve lunch and close at 4. I met Dustin for lunch here, on his suggestion. They serve all kind of things from sandwiches and burgers to hot plates. It’s cafeteria style, so you walk up and tell them what you want and they put it on a plate and you pay at the register and seat yourself. Not a bad setup for lunch.
I decided to get a club sandwich with sweet potato fries and Dustin got one of the specials, which was fried chicken with salad, corn and mac and cheese. My sandwich was okay. It was nothing overly special, but I enjoyed it. The sweet potato fries were a nice touch. I was able to try some of Dustin’s chicken and mac and cheese. It was super good and for a lunch, you really get your money’s worth.
I like the atmosphere of the whole place. The walls are decorated with Louisiana knick knacks and signs and the whole restaurant has a «50’s diner» kind of feel. The staff was super nice and friendly.
I think that I would go back and maybe try one of the hot meals that they offer. They also have burgers, so I might check that out too.

I would give it 3 ½ stars
This is a place in the Harvey Canal industrial corridor that we eat at for lunch when we get burnt out on Angelos.
It is homestyle foods, white beans, hamburgersteak, tuna fish on croissants, fried trout and such. It is good. I rarely have time to eat in so its usually to go.
There is alot of cool trappings to look at. Check out my pics That is what I enjoy about eating in.
Ok, let me describe the ordering walking process…
Right when you walk in you will see an dry erease board with the specials. You then make your way down the line like a cafeteria and tell the nice ladies what you want. Then you pay at the end and they get your name and you take a seat. They bring out shortly, sometimes though you get it on the spot, just a matter of them scooping it and such.
A little reminicant of Rocky and Carlos lunch ladies
Good food no doubt. If you work in the area or it, your already familiar with it, if not and your close by, make sure to put it in your rotation.
If you call them they will add your fax # to thier daily menu list. A plus!
There is a big giant nice looking bar but im not sure if it is ever used?

Great home-​cooking. They are only open for the working lunch crowd, so your best bet is to be there when they open at 11am or around 1:30pm near closing time. It’s definitely worth your time. My favorite is the shrimp poboy, but make sure to check out the specials of the day when you first walk in.
