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.

Had a bbq flavor of sorts that was probably a bit overwhelming for the salmon. Cheese grits on the side were good. Daughter had the filet mignon which she said was perfectly cooked, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. Husband had the ribeye and unfortunately he was disappointed with the lack of flavor. The restaurant obviously aims to please and we didn't complain, just a little more seasoning and this would have been a five star rating. Also a little pricey.

Everyone was having to pull out their phone flashlight to read the menus so I would just suggest maybe table lighting if they want to keep the low lights throughout. Ok on to the food... we had the rockafella oysters which were pretty tasty for an appetizer. And I had the catch of the day which was grouper over cheddar grits and shrimp etoufee. The food was well flavored and not too heavy. We also shared the peanut butter pie for dessert which we enjoyed. The staff was friendly and the drinks are strong. So we will likely return.

Charley's Dairy Bar is an Albemarle classic that has stood the test of time. Keeping that in mind,…read morepatience here is key. But you will be rewarded with a great meal and if you're lucky, a slice of pie too. Patience starts in the parking lot. Their lot is small, and the surrounding businesses have towing signs, so you might have to wait on a spot to open up. Luckily, we just had to circle the block once, and were graciously rewarded with a parking spot. You go inside and see yourself, even if the table hasn't been cleared yet of items from the previous patrons. It's a mix of booths and tables with chairs. We were promptly greeted by a waitress, and she cleaned the tables and took our drink orders. My table got a Charley burger (which just means the patty is larger than the regular ones), two hot dogs, and chicken tenders. The Charley burger was great. I didn't sample the hotdog, but I heard no complaints. That chicken tenders were cooked through, and deliciously crisp. After I finished my whole meal, I thought they had sweet potato pie on the menu, but unfortunately, I did not have room. When we went up to pay, I could see the pie sitting behind the checkout counter, and knew that I should have saved room. If you're down to try a classic local establishment, then Charley's is for you. It's definitely for me and my family.

This is THE BEST blue bay out of them all, and I'm gonna tell you why…read more Me and my dad were heading to our family in Salisbury, and decided to stop in at this Blue Bay to see how it compares to the others. The restaurant is clean on the inside, and has that "old seafood joint" feel that every other Blue Bay has. The hush puppies that you get complimentary at the other locations have gotten scrawny, but they have remained full at this location. Their hush puppies are always good, but these hush puppies are like how they always used to be, according to my dad lol. We usually opt for the Chicken Tenders, which never miss. They are small, but are burning hot and crispy every time. Their fries also have good flavor. The Cole slaw is great, but needs a little salt. Their honey mustard is always great, also. The woman at the register charged us $1.00 more than what we were supposed to be charged, which got us a little fired up, but it'll be alright. For the good quality, it's justified. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stopping in at some point. Great food!
