The Point Tavern

Our server was friendly, kind and easy to talk with. The restaurant looks great and has three separate sections: the bar area, dining area, and what looks like a dining hall/party room. 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! (:

The place is really cool exactly how I imagined a true American pub! When I first walked in, the bartender and waitress thought I was picking up a to-go order but once I told them I was there to eat, the waitress immediately apologized and welcomed me to sit down. The service was just what I was hoping for she was super polite, but also friendly and down-to-earth, which I really liked. The food was amazing too that Portobello sandwich was on another level! This is now officially my favorite spot for lunch on Staten Island. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants good food and a real pub vibe.

First time eating here on New Year’s Day! Great Roast Beef Sandwich the meat was so tender and juicy. Disco tots were delicious as well and Irish Cider! 10 out 10!

Brennan & Carr, I do believe you have finally met your match. New York City's finest and best Roast Beef Sandwich may be in Staten Island. 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+

10/10 service, drinks and food. Definitely coming back!

Always delicious. The best tater tots ever! They back the toys- Not Deep fried. The pork roll was juicy, roast beef always the best!

Place is spotless, and very cozy to start. The French onion soup is amazing and the toast beef is absolutely amazing. Keep it up guys.
