The restaurant is clean and casual with friendly and attentive staff. The food was well seasoned and delicious. My steak was a little tough and gristly but the flavor was there. Everything else was on point. No chips and salsa was offered while we waited. This was my second visit here and I will go again.

My friend and I each ordered a salad, hers with jerk chicken and lime with carne asada, and the salads were huge with lots of veggies and plenty of our protein of choice mounded on top. My only complaint is my carne asada on the salad was over-cooked, perhaps it was cooked earlier and then reheated when someone orders it? I'm not sure, but it was still very tasty. The lady that took our order was very nice and tge food was ready fairly quickly at lunch time on a weekday.

I ordered the ribeye, and while it tasted great and the meal came together perfectly, it was definitely overcooked. They never asked how I wanted the steak prepared, which is a big miss.

I was so intrigued I looked up the history of the building, and the automotive companies that inhabited the building before the restaurant. Were you around when the Pontiac show room always had a white Christanas tree in the main window for Christmas? The food was upscale pub food. The Onion rings were delicious. The Sloppy Joes were memerable and I loved my chicken salad. Most importantly, the drinks were great. I would love to stop by again.

We went to Five Points Public house for a weekday lunch and only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The food was good, the interior architecture is nice to look at, and we will be back. The restaurant is a mix of booths and tables with chairs. You can tell the building is old, but had been tastefully worked into a restaurant by the age on the exposed brick within. The whole front of the restaurant faces one of the main roads for downtown, and has large windows that bring in tons of natural light. This place is good for a date night, a group gathering, or anything in between. There's even some bar seating if that's your thing. Our table got the French dip and a make-your-own burger. The French dip was easily shared by my little and me, as the portion size was large. The build-your-own-burger comes exactly as you want it, cooked to your temperature preference, but I will say the patty could have had more seasoning on it. The onion rings are amazing, and the onion adheres perfectly to the batter. One thing I hope to be able to use in the future is the Pontiac Room, which is their second story event space. They have a nice sign that gives details about the space, and I truly believe it would be good for wedding receptions, large parties, or large group gatherings. I don't know if there is an elevator to this space, so you'd need to check on that should your group have mobility concerns. Overall, this is a place that we will bring the whole crew to in the future.
