    We sat right in the street in the covered seating. The atmosphere is perfect for being down by the water. You can watch people walk by and enjoy the view. The buffalo chicken sandwich was amazing and the burger was as well. The wait staff is very friendly and our order came out quickly. This is a nice place to relax and enjoy the city.

    Firstly. This one star is on principle. Any place that charges for customers to be hydrated has lost my business. $1 for water bottles no cups of water offered. They have no cups shortage for their subpar drinks tho 😑 the only drink we enjoyed was the margarita which is pretty hard to mess up with mix. Everything else was mid. Bottomless brunch- not worth $25 dollars. They need to offer a special where you get your entree AND bottomless drinks for 35-40 instead of ordering separately and paying $25 for drinks alone. Very unappealing format imo The one thing I enjoyed was the crab cake Benedict however the side of potatoes was smaller than everyone else’s plate and undercooked. If you’re in a tight spot where you absolutely NEED a reservation that is the only reason I’d recommend this place. Otherwise stay away. The oyster house next door had marginally higher prices for an actual dining experience. Sometimes you get what you pay for and at this place you don’t even get that. How are they charging $24 for a meal and you have to eat with plastic silverware. Most of our group was pretty unsatisfied.

    Water typically is free at restaurants especially during brunch and here you can get 1 free bottle of water and anything more is gonna cost you. The reason? A cup shortage (despite all other drinks coming in a glass.....) Additionally if you get a burger, you have to pay extra for fries. Starters are also equal or more expensive than some of the brunch options... Also they have no tea or coffee options during brunch either. Burger was disappointing, chicken wasn't really seasoned for the chicken and waffles. Eggs Benedict was alright. A lot of food so not bad for the price. Drinks were strong so for the price it was great!

    DO NOT GO HERE!!! My first and largest complaint aside from the super bland and mediocre food is the fact that the server added 20% gratuity on a tab for 4 people when the menu clearly states, that automatic gratuity is added for parties of 6+ (photos included). To add that to a tab outside of the restaurant policy is already scummy but the server didn’t even mention it. As a former server I’m appalled! Earn your tip! Everything is overpriced for what it is and has absolutely no flavor. The Mac and cheese was not creamy and had almost zero flavor for something that claims to include three cheeses. I’d rather have Kraft. The cheesesteak, tacos and seafood club were OK. Honestly the best part of everything was the chips and that’s even being generous. Bottom line, it’s not worth your money.

    Today me and hubby where in the area looking for food so decided to stop here as it looked like a nice place. First they take our card to hold a tab every though we were getting food. Which was weird but fine. We ordered our food and a drink since we were going to be on tab anyways might as well. When the food came out everything looked really good but that’s where it ended unfortunately the food was very very bland. And that was just not acceptable when ur prices for things are a lil on the higher side. Not sure we will return.

    Brunch Sunday was amazing! So many choices and it was really nice outside so we sat in the outside seating. Fells point is great so it was a good atmosphere. The menu was plentiful, I got the sausage and gravy with chicken. I would suggest the chicken be seasoned a little better prior to cooking. The drinks were great $25 unlimited for mimosas, screwdrivers, rum punch, bloody Mary’s, and bud light. There’s no garnishes with the drinks, which would’ve made them a little better but it was one of the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve had. Our server was new to the restaurant and he did a great job. We will definitely be back.

    I have friends visiting with their new puppy and The Point came highly recommended for pup brunch. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious. The view was wonderful. The umbrella was big enough to keep us dry in the drizzle. Most important, our server Ivan was impeccable. He said it was his first day here, but he was magnificent. He took excellent care of us. I'm so grateful for him this morning!

    This was so cheeks I was embarrassed for them for even serving this out- servers are sweet but girl. The food?!? IS THAT SLICED KRAFT CHEESE ON TOP OF THE BFAST BURRITO?? TELL ME NEOWWW!!!! This is also not worth the bottomless drinks the mimosas were so trash. Sangria was okay. The best thing on here was the fries.

    Cute place, great location for people watching, strong drinks, good food! We had brunch, and the crab cake Benedict was so big I was full all day. I didn’t catch the name of our server but he was quirky & funny.

    I loved my experience here. The food was amazing and I came on the Saturday of the Halloween bar crawl and blossom, bubbles, buttercup and especially our waiter professor utonium Zka Marshall were the best! Really made this experience amazing and I hope the crowds are good to them tonight. Yup well people !

    The Point is by far one of the best bars fells point has to offer! Great atmosphere and with an even better bar staff. Terri is an absolute gem and just might be one, if not the best bartenders in our city! So what I am saying is Get to the Point ! Make sure you ask for her!

    Let me tell you something. God is real and I saw Him myself while visiting The Point. First of all my girl Erin at the bar is the real deal. Pretty, personable, polite. Love her dearly. I ordered the 32 ounce mango margarita and the brown sugar & old bay wings with RANCH! I capitalized ranch on purpose because it's probably the best ranch I ever had in my life. Homemade, just like all of their sauces, word to Erin. The wings are AHHHMAZING. Crispy, flavorful, old bay-y and brown sugary. My LORD. I'm visiting Baltimore for the weekend but I ordered some wings to go (with ranch) because NECESSARY. The mango margarita? 32 ounces of goodness. She mixed it so well it tasted like juice but the patron set it off so the buzz settles in as you keep sipping. Man oh man. Erin also got me hip to their $18 bottomless brunch. She said mimosas, rum punch, Bloody Mary and some other things I can't remember buy are also included. The Point.....is on point.

    We went for a food tour here and the crab cake was out of this world!! We liked it so much we went back for brunch. I got shrimp and grits and it was really good, full of flavor.

    Fantastic food and exceptional service by Ivan. I had special requests and the kitchen easily accommodated me. This place is dog-friendly and they even have their own menu for dogs!

    Sunday (2/5/23)I brunched with my girls at The Point in Fells on Thames Street in downtown Baltimore and was pleased surprised! Not only was the atmosphere beautiful, but the service was excellent and the food and drinks were amazing! I will definitely be returning.

  • 4/5 Tonia W. 9 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    I really liked the crab dip. The wings were ok, but I only eat the flats, lol. They couldn't accommodate me for that, so that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. I feel like if you're willing to pay extra for what you want, they should accommodate you. JMO

    Bottomless brunch was 10/10! The staff was so attentive and the food was good. There were several pescatarian options. Mimosas were great! Overall a fun, good casual spot in Fell’s.

    Wandering around Fells Point and looking for a brunch place. The Crab Cake Benedict caught my eye. Very delicious and fried green 🍏 tomatoes added extra delight. Great brunch highly recommend.

  • 3/5 Tanisha L. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been here before but don’t remember if I posted a review. The place gets packed really fast so I would suggest to get here at a decent time. It’s alway a vibe so I feel you’ll always enjoy yourself. The crab dip was soooo good they did a great job. The hot wings I left alone they were my homegirls but she barely left any for take home so they must’ve been good as well. My veggie flatbread could’ve used some salt it was to bland but cook perfectly. Drinks are always a little pricey & just okay. I definitely didn’t get a buzz until I started adding shots to my drinks but it’s Fells point it’s to be expected. All in all I’ll be back because they have some good choices for food.

    Mac and Cheese night was a cool concept, not sure if the crab was worth the extra cost. Not sure who opened the flood gates on a Tuesday night but about 10:30 things got hyped, lots of fun

    Erin & Ercy were the best. They kept the drinks flowing and the food was good! I highly recommend the old bay wings and the chicken & waffles. We will be back when we’re in the area!

    Went New Year's Day for brunch. Location is cool, that area is always buzzing. Sat at the bar to avoid a wait. Server/Bartender was nice and very friendly, but was a bit all over the place. Wish she had paid more attention to us, we ended up asking the food runner for things because we just couldn't get her attention. Drinks were interesting. Got the bottomless deal. I got the same drink three times and it came out different three times. The rum punch was good, sangria was not. It was boozy, so good...just not consistent. Came here specifically because I wanted chicken and waffles. I wasn't wow'd by it for 2 reasons. The first is that the waffle I'm sure wasn't fresh. It def wasn't soft or fluffy, sure it wasn't homemade. It was a Belgian waffle and I don't want to say it was store bought but I know where I can get very very similar waffles at in a local store. I don't get them for myself because they aren't very good. So needless to say I didn't enjoy the waffle. The chicken was fine. The second reason is that I've eaten chicken and waffles from Connie's right up the street and they are definitely some of the best in the area - made from scratch. So it's easy to compare. Gave it a chance and I wouldn't have it again at the point. DJ showed up, that was cool. It was a good social vibe. But again the service could have been better and I would say it was just me but on my side of the bar there were other people trying to get attention too so I felt like well at least in not the only one. I'd come back and try again and have other things on the menu. The atmosphere is good.

    I would probably stick to just drinks here. The food wasn't horrible by any means, but the draw is the bottomless brunch. To have it you must do a brunch item. The location would be nice for a night out, very chill, good view of the water. Also in a walkable area. We got the chicken and waffles and the pumpkin French toast.
