We ordered the Forest Ave roast beef sandwich and the fried shrimp appetizer with bang bang sauce. The shrimp had a nice crunch, and the bang bang sauce was good, but its flavor was a bit mild and plain; some garnish like chives can definitely elevate this appetizer further! Our sandwich unfortunately came without the bacon jam and maple bourbon, which meant it was just roast beef double dunked with Gruyère cheese. Unfortunately we didn't realize it until near the end, and although our waitress apologized and brought us a side of the bacon jam, by then we only had a quarter of it left which was a bummer. The roast beef was perfectly cooked and the gravy was rich and deliciously beefy, but the extra Au jus was a bit pricy for how little it was, where it came in the same small plastic sauce container instead of a small bowl/ceramic. I'm sure this doesn't happen often that half the sandwich ingredients were left out, so I guess we were just unlucky we didn't realize sooner, but it nonetheless detracted from our experience and we were charged the full price for the meal. Overall The Point Tavern has a lot of potential of being amazing and serve probably the best roast beef in all of Staten Island; I really wish them the best with their varied roast beef selections! Please give them a try and just check your sandwich before digging into it! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

What's the secret at the Point Tavern in Staten Island? They keep things simple! This review is based on my visit this past Saturday Evening - 21 June 2025. Bartender Mike is a true Mensch, if that's even possible, in a place like Staten Island, but he was truly a gem and kept the drinks flowing. This is truly a neighborhood watering hole that is frequented by many, including some friendly and beautiful teachers from the local school across the way. You are struck with an immediate vibe of friendliness and happiness, and visitors to the Point Tavern are truly treated like family. My great friend, "Uncle Anthony," and I enjoyed ourselves sitting and relaxing at the bar. There was a wide selection of draft beers on tap, and the mixed drinks were delicious. Confession: I made the "Shlep" to investigate this "Suspicious" Roast Beef Sandwich. My suspicions were confirmed--amazing, Juicy, Tender, and savory. Sandwiches are made to order and tailored to the customer's likely preferences. The kitchen got it right on the first shot and got me my "Kosher" Roast Beef Sandwich. Trust me, its worth the visit. A+

Good Food We have…read moreread of this place a few times and thought to give it a try. Smaller than I had expected. Only a few tables in the dining room, a few high tops in the bar area and a large bar. We chose to eat at the high tops because some locals were at the bar and quite boisterous and we wanted to join in. We enjoyed a bowl of Potato Chowder. Nicely done. We split the Blarney steak sandwich, delicious. Good beers on tap and the service was prompt. Good first experience. Food was good, crowd was having fun, and the place has great lighting. Thanks

A nice assortment of bourbon is right up my alley. Last night we had ribeye quesadillas that were made from high quality steak! So delicious.

We ordered the Classic Medium Pizza with vegan cheese, roasted red peppers, coal-fired onions, and broccoli, along with the Impossible Burger. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We also enjoyed the Piña No-Lada and a Black Cherry soda, which were great additions to the meal. A special thank you to our waitress, Ashley. She was friendly, patient, and exceptionally knowledgeable about the vegan menu. Excellent food, excellent service, and a great place for vegans and non-vegans alike. We'll definitely be back!

Killmeyer's Old Bavarian Inn is the sole remaining German kitchen on Staten Island, originating in…read morethe 1850s and owned for the past 30 years by the Tirado family. My roots to S.I. don't go back that far, but my grandparents are buried there in an old overgrown Jewish cemetery nearby. The atmosphere is all dark wood and black metal ceilings. The decor approaches medieval. So, if you're into such historicism, just sitting in the dining room or barroom can be quite compelling. It was for me. The food is also very good. Starting with a special flute of Lenderman's Framboise sour beer, we shared the Warsaw Pierogi appetizer (6 large discs filled with smooth mashed potato & cheese mix and covered in translucent sweet onions), and a lunch portion of Jagerschnitzel with Hunter's Sauce (two large pork fillets breaded and pan fried and topped with a delicious brown gravy, sliced lightly fried potatoes, steamed veggies & a sharp steak knife). My companion wanted a German Chocolate Cake dessert, which was an excellent choice to share. Our server was friendly and attentive. We couldn't finish our lunch and I took half to schnitzel home. Walking out, we checked out the beer garden where a few families were gathered on this mid-September Saturday afternoon. Although small, it was a simple attractive backyard with tables and large umbrellas with plenty of trees for shade and breeze. Four point five Stars.

We started with the pierogis which came out hot and with plenty of onions! Perfectly done. The salad with Gorgonzola cheese, baby spinach, cranberries, pignoli nuts; yummy.

Topped off the dinner with Apple Streudel and vanilla ice cream. Again, delicious! Will definitely be going back soon! Service was great and the staff was very attentive.

True Score: 4.25 Stars…read more Probably the best bar old school place in Staten Island. Lees Tavern is a bar pizza joint in Staten Island. It's off the beaten path but worth a visit. The pizza was fresh and delicious with a crisp crust. The food is served by the nicest, friendliest people. We visited here on a recommendation from a friend and were very pleased we did. The pizza was delicious (the best we've had on our trip) the atmosphere is warm, and the team are really friendly. It feels like a proper bar with personality unlike much of New York. If you're a tourist getting the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, rather than getting straight back on, take a break to come here instead, you won't be disappointed. Wait, I need to enhance my earlier comment. This is the best family dive bar on the island. I true classic. A must stop. Thanks

The straw that really broke the camels back for me though is that not only do you have to scan a QR code to place your own order and you have to install an app to do so but then when you go to pay the bill in the same app, they add a mandatory gratuity of a minimum of 18%. I'm not paying 18% when it's not even proper table service.

Best mozzarella sticks I've ever had, each stick had a nice thick piece of mozzarella, they were crispy, marinara dipping sauce was tasty as well 2. Delicious chicken tenders, classic diner style, wide and flat pieces of chicken, crispy, just how I like em! 3. Large projector screen in the back room with speakers, we had no problem seeing or hearing the Bachelor! CONS: 1. The service was pretty slow, it seemed like there was only one server there who was also the bartender but since this was on a Monday night, it's probably not usually as busy as it was when I went Besides the food I mentioned, we also had the garlic/butter pretzel with beer cheese and mustard which I enjoyed but the rest of my group found that the cheese was weird and not typical beer cheese. We also got Mac and cheese balls which I didn't try so can't comment and for dessert we had the smores brownie which was basic, I probably wouldn't get it again. Overall, I definitely want to come back, it's only been one day and I'm already craving the chicken fingers and mozz sticks
