The food is delicious and the cocktail menu is amazing. However, I don't think this place is worth a $16 martini. I feel that it is significantly over priced for the area. read more

Mushroom bruschetta WOW! Dinner.....local ribeye and chicken. Bottomline it was 10 of 10 AMAZING!

The food is good and the service was as well. Very cool atmosphere. Expensive but not outrageous.

This place is such a unique add to Knoxville's food scene! It's like a gastro-pub with a charcuterie based menu. It's very modern and would be a great place for lunch or brunch with friends. Their cocktail selection is unique, although we weren't *huge* fans of the ones we tried (36 flip and ginger blossom) and would've probably stuck with the wine menu- which is extensive. The boards are what PointB is known for, and we tried the French fried board and the taco board. The French fried board was good and had three different dipping sauces that made it fun and very shareable! I went with my fiancé and even though it says it's for 2 people, this one could easily be split by 3-4 people. The taco board was good! Love the handmade tortillas. I'm a fan of pickled veggies, so I loved the onions...my fiancé, not so much. Also, this board is supposed to come with avocado and ours did not, which was a bummer. Also just a note, my fiancé tried to order the strawberry old fashioned and they were out of the ingredients for that too. After dinner (with plenty to take home), we tried the bourbon banana pudding and that was probably my favorite part! It was a small serving, but very tasty. Our server was very sweet and friendly, the food and drinks were good but not great, and the environment is modern and classy. I'd like to go back and try their brunch menu and also the patio seating (which wasn't open when we went). All in all, a neat little spot that we plan on returning back to! read more

My wife and i stopped Thursday night for dinner. The hostess took us straight to our table per reservation. The food was wonderful, the waitress was knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. The manager even stopped by to check on our meal, which was wonderful! will definitely be going back! read more

I was excited to try this new place in town. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. The service was ok, a little slower than I would've liked. And the food was good, but nothing to write home about. Especially for the price. read more

We had a fantastic brunch at Point B. Our server was super attentive and responsive on her very first day (Thanks, Katlyn!), and she checked in with us several times to make sure we had all that we needed. Despite the restaurant being busy, our food came out hot and fresh. We split the brunch board and were happily surprised by how good everything was. We almost fought over the potatoes, they were the highlight of the whole board. We saw another table's lunch orders, and they looked so delicious we've made plans to return for dinner soon! read more

A bit pricey but the atmosphere and service is wonderful. Food ingredients are locally sourced so supporting local businesses are always my go to if I can read more

I wanted to send a huge thank you and well deserved review to the management and staff at Point B. They were able to accommodate my daughter's 21st birthday with 19 of her Lady Vol Softball teammates. The management and staff went above and beyond to make it a special occasion. Not only was the service impeccable, the food was terrific with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend Point B! read more

Well, I have a lot to say. Great atmosphere and service. Great craft cocktails. Now, I'll get into the food. Great roast beef sandwich, I highly recommend. Onto the sides and appetizers...We ordered the Ceviche and It lacked everything. Shrimp was the only seafood invited into their recipe and It was scant and lacked flavorf, it needs more citrus, cilantro and SEAFOOD. The quinoa, just don't order it. At a minimum, they should add some herbs or flavoring. My suggestion, add some Mandarin oranges, mint and roasted pine nuts. The roasted. Brussels spouts, bleh. Drizzle a little balsamic vinegar, at a minimum. Bacon, caramelized onions and almonds would make it complete. I'm my opinion, for the cost of our dinner, the food lacked a lot of flavor and imagination. I live a five minute walk from there and was excited to have a high end resterant so close by. I hope they can bump it up a notch or five. But for me, I can go to Corner 16 for half the price and enjoy their beef barley soup. Step it up PLEASE, read more

Fantastic food, drinks and atmosphere. Unique dishes and cocktails. Highly recommend! read more

We have dined multiple times at Point B all meeting or surpassing our expectations except for this evening. It was well below average especially the service which was very slow and lacking however I still recommend it highly hoping this was an anomaly and not a downward trend. read more

The breakfast board & taco board here are great options. There's some of everything and enough for everyone. Be aware that the interior of the restaurant is freezing! I've been twice now, both times the same, so I think it's the usual. read more

Went for Sunday brunch and the service was awful and food was bland. We got oysters for an appetizer and then our brunch board came while eating the oysters but the sever assured me that the board wouldn't come out while we were eating oysters and it did.. The oysters were not good. On the brunch board we ordered steak and chorizo. A guy not our server brought our board out. We needed plates and napkins and we couldn't find our server. The steak was bland we didn't even bother making a taco out of it. The eggs were cold and the pico was awful. Then I noticed we didn't get our chorizo as you can see in the picture. I didn't want to make a scene in the restaurant so I just paid my tab and left but I will not go back to this establishment after this. Getting drinks and service was not good at all. read more

We ate lunch with a family group of 15 first time trying them out. I got the salmon salad that was very good and not over cooked. My husbands eggs Benedict were over cooked but they were taken back and redone correctly. We were not charged which we weren't expecting that either but very nice of them. Everyone else seemed to love their salads, breakfast dishes and dessert. We love the location so convenient for us the interior is very pretty love the bar area and the outside seating. Feel the prices are reasonable good menu super friendly staff we will definitely go back!! read more

Reservation made a week in advance, group of 5, super excited about this opening! I ordered the "Sea" board and my wife the Chicken Sandwich. I would give my Sea board a 9/10 rating. I thought it was fantastic, just needed more of it. The fried oysters were perfect! My wife gave the chicken sandwich a 6/10, not bad, would prob order again she said. Daughter ordered the Roasted Veggie Tacos (they are tiny!) and she gave it a 4/10. Only weird thing about the place is the noise level. It's very loud! All in all, not a bad experience at all! The boards are on the smaller size, so a "small/for two" could easily be a 1-person meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place is amazing! Came here for Brunch, and were not disappointed! I'm so glad that we live around the corner... their Bourbon selection is also quite awesome! And you NEED to have their Bourbon Banana Pudding! Epic! read more

Point B - Strawberry Old Fashioned - New American Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

** worth the read if you're trying to dine here... This place was recommended by a few of my friends. Took my girlfriend here with high hopes of having a nice date night out. Arrived at 6pm on a Tuesday. We were sat immediately, I'm assuming in the bar section because we did not have a designated server. It took about 10 minutes for us to be greeted. We were eventually greeted by one of the bartenders and ordered two bar beverages. We watched our drinks sit at the well for at least 10 mins. The drinks were brought out with our charcuterie board. Our drinks and board were amazing (the strawberry old fashioned is delicious). I also ordered a pasta entree. Both the app and entree came out at the same time AFTER we asked for the drinks and charcuterie first, whatever, that's fine. After a few bites of the entree I realize it's not what I ordered. I told the manager on duty and it was fixed with no problem. My original order was eventually brought out and it looked less than underwhelming but I gave it a shot. It looked like play food... the dish was angel hair pasta, obviously pulled straight from pasta water into a bowl with some random vegetables thrown in. Zero seasoning. It wasn't even buttered noodle w veg which would have been acceptable. Me and my partner both work in the food industry.. that plate would NEVER be served to a guest. It was genuinely the worst plate of food I've ever been served in my life. I can't believe that's on the menu. The manger was amazing and understanding willing to hear criticism and feedback. We loved the drinks and the charcuterie. Maybe we ordered one of the worst things on the menu but sitting and waiting on drink and food orders was a little wild. I might be willing to try again for a special occasion. But I will not be dining there on my own again. I had very high hopes with this restaurant but was extremely disappointed. This place definitely caters to a certain demographic (which might be why we were sat "at the bar" and not with a server in the dining area). This rarely happens and I rarely writes reviews but my mind was blown. I truly hope to have a better experience at some point in the future. *** NOTE... reading the reviews AFTER posting my review is validating. For sure come here for drinks if you can actually get service at a table rather than the bar... for food... you'd be happier eating a mcchicken from McDonald's. Have some drinks. Save yourself from the food. Don't waste your money. I have no problem spending 50-60$ or more on food but i at least want it to be somewhat enjoyable. You won't get that here. read more

I really enjoy going to this restaurant for dinner with friends or brunch with family! Great atmosphere and the food is delicious! The service is usually very good which goes a long way these days. read more

The place has a great feel and layout. The staff is friendly and inviting. The menu is interesting and exciting to explore. My future son-in-law loved the Taco Board and Smore Board. But I had the worst stake I could have ordered. The NY strip was overcooked, lacked seasoning, and it was rather tough. I was totally surprised, the manager said he would discount our meal, but he did not. Too expensive of a meal to feel good about the experience. read more

we really enjoyed our meal there. Had the nachos, and it was more than enough for two. Also had hot tea, and they brought a caddy with several different teas, including herbal that made it a special treat. read more

Came to visit family in Knoxville, was pleasantly surprised by Point B! Atmosphere is friendly and inviting, with gorgeous decorum paired with mid-century modern design. Staff is energetic and kind, meeting our every need! Food was off. the. charts. My mother and I split "The Point {b}oard," which was perfectly portioned, there was nothing to box, but we left completely satisfied. Ashely, our server, was extremely attentive and sweet even while having other tables. Needless to say we will come back and bring more family to Point B! read more

Point B - the "B" is for: Don't Bother. The cocktails were terrible! Asked for something tropical which usually equals sweet and fruity. Bartender suggested the daiquiri. The drinks ended up being 80% alcohol and grapefruit juice . . . yuck. He offered a replacement saying "I can make anything, I don't stick with the menu." He brought out 2 drinks from the menu, a jalapeño drink, and something with rum and soda. No balance, no signature taste, absolutely undrinkable. For food ordered the taco plate. The 2 stars are for the chorizo, salsa, and fresh lettuce/onions. The chicken was dark meat and was so slimy we didn't want to get sick from eating it. Uneatable! $50 later, and we were headed to McDonalds. It's been a while since having to do that . . . oh, wait, that's the first time the food and drinks were so bad we resorted to fast food!?! Never go back. read more

The food was great. Could not ask for better service and staff. We went for dinner and plan to go back for brunch.

The food was incredible and the staff was (mostly) incredible! I sat at the bar, and unfortunately, there was one bartender that seemed to be taking advantage of her coworkers, and was also horribly rude to other staff (when she thought I couldn't hear her.) I don't think she actually did anything at all during our visit, except telling others what to do. Very poor leadership example. She had short, curly hair with glasses. On the other hand, my bartender was absolutely fantastic! I didn't get her name either, but she was a brunette with blonde highlights with wavy hair. She was so outgoing and friendly, she's the reason we'll be back! read more

Fresh & delicious food, great atmosphere & friendly staff! The boards are my favorite!!!

I applied at Point b a few days ago and got an interview with Nick, one of the managers, he had me fill some things out and I left and that was all that was done. Saturday I went in again to grab more forms from the owner, Dan, and Nick and was told to come back in at 11:30 on Monday. After buying the uniform out of my own pocket, I was immediately told to reconsider the job due to the piercings I have that they have seen multiple times because "they don't want to upset the people that come in". It's 2022. Get over yourself. read more

Had super high hopes for this place. Food is definitely delicious but I have never been so disappointed in the staff. They were rude and short with me and my table. Not to mention a FILTHY water pitcher that was placed on our table to use. I would only ever purchase take-out from here in the future to avoid the interaction with their staff. However, Our server Sam was amazing and kind. Nice fellow with glasses. If it wasn't for him we would have left before the entrees. Still would not recommend this place. read more

Great food, ambiance, and cocktail/wine menu. We always have a great experience when we go here!

Had a spur of the moment date day with my husband for lunch. We sat out on the patio, which was lovely. Service was wonderful and she answered all of the questions we had. I ordered a salad with Salmon and was SOOOO surprised with how large the salmon was (I requested it be well done and it was cooked perfectly) and the dressing was delish. My husband got a burger and he said it was one of the best burgers he has had - and he is super picky with the burgers. I ordered one of the champagne cocktails and it was just a lovely and refreshing compliment to the meal. Looking forward to trying some of the sides and appetizers when we go back - I had such a hard time picking what to order since it all looked so yummy. Highly recommend read more

Had brunch here today with a friend who had been previously. I was impressed with everything -- Eggs Benedict were outstanding & the sides were a nice complement. Kristina H was our server & she was the best. I ordered a meal to go & right before paying, she brought out the "to go" order. She checked to see how we were doing, but was not intrusive. The "to go" order was for my "works from home" son who was impressed with his Roasted Veggie Taco platter as well. I saw salads around me being served & they looked amazing as well. I'll definitely be back! read more

We have been waiting for this to open forever as it's close to home and perfect for date night after toddler goes to bed without trucking downtown. The atmosphere was pretty but as the server commented, it is very loud. Hopefully the owner does do the noise cancelling ceiling soon. The patio looked really nice. We enjoyed the strawberry and rosemary old fashioned, both had great notes of each but also could taste the whiskey. The baked oysters were a tad bit underwhelming....lots of cheese. We decided to keep it simple, I had the burger and he had the roast beef sandwich. The burger was excellent, very juicy. I asked for mayo and the server offered like 5 different kinds of aioli which made my heart flutter. The dill aioli on the burger was out of this world and I feel like they should add it to come with it for sure, otherwise it was just plain, no sauce. The bourbon banana pudding was good but small. All the plates seemed they were too big for the food, it just looked rather empty if that makes sense. I do think they are a tad expensive but I would definitely like to sit on their patio and have brunch sometime. read more

First visit to Point b. Wanted to go somewhere I had not been to meet a friend from out of town. This is not a cozy restaurant. It is bright and open with seating inside and out. I was disappointed there was simply a legal size, typed menu with absolutely no embellishments or pictures. If I had not gone online to check this place out, I would have had no idea what any of their offerings looked like. There is an extensive menu, but unless you have gone online or you see items being carried to tables, you have no idea what you might be ordering. We started our late lunch, 1:30, with drinks. I had seen a picture of the Point b Bloody Mary with shrimp, Benton's bacon, and olives as garnishments. It was quite tasty. My girl friend ordered a Needs a Name, with no comments one way or the other. I ordered the Shrimp Louie Salad. My friend ordered the Point b salad with fried oysters. The salads appeared to be straight out of a Spring Mix bag with some sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and house croutons. The shrimp were large and abundant. The fried oysters, ordered on the salad as extras, were absolutely delicious with a slight seasoning to the batter. We ordered the Bourbon Banana pudding for dessert. This was disappointing. I had been longing for banana pudding, but expected it to have the requisite, true meringue on top. Instead, there was merely a thin creamy something. The pudding was good without being overwhelmed by the bourbon. THE BRIGHT SPOT IN OUR MEAL WAS OUR MARVELOUS, CONGENIAL, ATTENTIVE, AND COMPETENT SERVER, PRINCE. Thank you, Prince. Should we return, we will ask for you! read more

We had a reservation for 3 at 10:45am. We did not get our food until 11:45am and the restaurant was only half full. Our entrees were: breakfast tacos, omelette, breakfast bowl, and a side of waffles. All to which were cold. Very disappointing and frustrating. We support local, but won't be back. read more

I have never left a bad review, and we go out once a week always trying new restaurants. This place was so disappointing. The problems were systemic- food wasn't right and the staff was poorly trained regarding the menu, fresh catch, steak of day and watching our drink levels. The roasted chicken sandwich came with cold pulled chicken. The service was very slow- had to remind her about drinks over and over. Asked for bottled beer and she brought cans. Chicken tacos came out cold as well. No positives other than the fries were hot and pretty good. Also, no one offered compensation. Plus the place is noisy as hell. read more

This place just opened and the service was great. Lots of fresh options. We tried the fry board to split and their fried pickles were great. Delicious grain bowl salad as well. Loved the atmosphere and most definitely will be going back. read more

great atmosphere, but service was average at best. we sat at the bar which was fine. do not order the shrimp ceviche. there was literally one piece of shrimp cut up into bite size pieces with a cup of pico de gallo. not worth $16 Then had a dozen baked oysters which were good, but nowhere near worth $50 per dozen. Ive eaten some of the best oysters in the country but have NEVER paid $50 per dozen! The most over priced meal I have ever eaten. The best value was $13 for a glass of sonoma cutrere! read more

Great food! Sea bass was nightly special and was so very good. My friends got a taco board - amazing presentation

So... came here for a date night and I think it's a good idea to wait well past the grand opening. Food and drink menu have a lot of potential, but there is some work to be done. We didn't receive our drinks for about 30 minutes and no appetizers for an hour (bruschetta and Fry board). We understood because of the soft opening things wouldn't be perfect, but half of the fry board was ice cold (the staff later kindly brought hot fries out). We ate half of the fry board and mushroom bruschetta and our main entrees came out about an hour and 20 minutes into our dining experience. My wife had a salad which was severely lacking in some ingredients and I had the chimichurri steak (was missing the chimichurri sauce)... we would have asked for our items to be corrected but it's pretty embarrassing to send things back to us as we were both in the industry in college. It was not an enjoyable experience whatsoever but we do have faith in coming back here and having a good experience after some of the kinks are worked out. read more
