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+

Wifey and I split a cheesesteak sandwich which came with fries.

Cut you fries and deep fry them please!

A very nice experience!

My new fav restaurant / pub in all of NYC. First floor of a greater than 100 year old, 2-story wood…read moreframe house on west side of Staten Island, close to NJ & the freight terminal, & far from gentrification. Pub is very old, but this latest iteration / owner has been since the early 2000s. Looks like an Irish pub, but the menu / kitchen is family-style Italian restaurant. Portions are BIG. Prices are FAIR! This place ROCKS! I had the Caesar salad, stuffed mushrooms, & 1/2 order of chicken parm. All of it was awesome. Thur's are also Lobster Thur's, & they have like 15+ lobster preparations to choose from. I wish I lived upstairs - I would come here every day. They also have a lotto machine, so you can get a scratch off with dessert. Note: they are next to a school, & parking is hard to come by on weekdays until 4pm, but not impossible. Most of my adventures are weekday late mornings & lunch tho, & the staff helped me find street parking (!). Best of NYC !!!!

I will have to go back another time and try the burgers!
