    Great place we can't wait to eat the wings! 28 years later and it's still great service and food!
    Gwenn F.

    Great service, friendly people, even 28 years later the wings are great! The inside is still fun and hoping. We would highly recommend it.

    Haven't been back here in 18 years. Wings have changed but they're still pretty damn good. Service was quick and good.

    Great spot to grab some food and drinks! We were visiting family who live in the area and we stopped in for dinner and drinks. We got lucky and were seated right away near the second bar in the back. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They had a good selection of beers, I had a Mango Cart. They also had some fun mixed drinks on the menu that I hope to try next time. My Buffalo chicken wrap was yummy! It came with a bag of chips but you can upgrade to fries. They had a kids menu, which was appreciated since my son was with us. I know it says it everywhere but just another reminder, it's CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM machine inside.

    Wings and tenders combo - top gun sauce

    The place was happening! It was packed by 4:00! Luckily, the joint lived up to the hype too. Even though the place was crowded, we were seated and got orders in very quickly. They have quite a few TVs around so it's a great place to hang out and watch a sports game. Charlie's is supposedly known for their wings, so that's what we ordered. I was debating whether to get fries, but I was assured by my friends it wouldn't be necessary. They were right. The wings and tenders I got were so thick and meaty. They were cooked perfectly and I loved the spicy top gun sauce. By the way, that sauce is very spicy for many people. The wings/tenders alone were more than enough to fill me. I was pretty satisfied with the meal and service here. The only downside is that they are cash only. Not a big deal but something to know beforehand. Would definitely recommend stopping by here for their wings!

    It has been a few years since my initial review of The Point. I gave this location four stars and,…read morein the years since, it has definitely a solid place for visitors and locals alike. Here are the positives: 1. The menu: They have a very extensive drink menu, with plenty of cocktails, including margaritas, canned drinks, and other specialty drinks. I wish they would serve more mocktails, but that's just me. 2. The atmosphere: This is an excellent place to enjoy the bayside views and hear live music, and it's even on a sunny day. 3. The service: This location has plenty of staff on hand, but you may have to flag someone down if it's busy. The food and drinks here are very good and compliment the atmosphere very well. I will say there are a couple of downsides: Cover charge: If you want to come here on the weekend, be prepared to pay at the door. The cost to come here is $5 per person, and while that may be alright for those who are vacationing here, it can become quite costly for locals. I really wish places like this offered a seasonal pass then I'd be back much more often. One of the more negative experiences I had was using the bathroom. I did have an incident at the Somers Point location where I locked the bathroom door and a member of their staff walked in on me and, at one point, banged a broom against the window. I'm not sure if any of their locations have some type of bathroom policy, but it didn't seem quite professional and felt very awkward. If you plan on using the bathroom here, make sure the door if completely locked.

    Early in the season, I had a lovely Sunday afternoon here with some friends. We enjoyed the drink…read moremenu and the view. Service was friendly. Drinks were on the expensive side, but so in tune to the vibe we overlooked it as entertainment value. So, I brought some friends back for dinner a few Sundays later. That's when they stopped us at the door to collect a $5 per person cover charge and that's where I drew the line. At 6:00, they had a DJ, they explained, and there would be a band at 7:00. The food is already overpriced, but we were willing to accept that for the experience. However, we were not willing to pay a fee for the privilege of eating. It's unfortunate, really. They were onto something, but there is no shortage of places to enjoy a summer evening in Somers Point that won't charge a cover to eat.

This time we came to see our friend playing music in the bar area. The bar was crowded for 4:00pm but we found a table which worked well for us. I went to the bar to get my wife and I some beers and the bartender served us right away. I asked if we could get menus for the table and she sent over our server. He was great. He took our order quickly and came back often to the table to see if we wanted anything else. When I read the menu before coming I knew I really wanted to try the tacos. Between my wife and I we got to try 4 types: - Tuna: This was delicious. One of the best tuna tacos I've ever had. They used a nice strip of good tuna meat and seared it with a nice spice blend. - Mahi Mahi (grilled), Mushroom, Shrimp (fried): all were very good The only reason for only four stars was the price for the tacos. Compared to other restaurants that sell tacos they run roughly a dollar more than most establishments. However the quality of the tuna in my opinion does justify the higher price.

    Ok place, not great. The food and drinks were average, speaking of the margaritas. Service was slow…read moreand infrequent. Must be the reason it wasn't overly crowded but busy. Also the band was very loud, ok if that's what you're looking for. Tough to find a good restaurant in Somers Point on a Saturday that isn't crowded!!
