Bennett Pointe Grill

Posted by YAR 28 Apr 2008 5 Comments

Sorry, it was pouring so I didn’t try very hard to get a good picture.

I really liked the Bennett Pointe Grill’s (4625 Hillsborough Rd) combination of atmosphere (kind of old-lady coastal + radiohead playing + very good service) and food (comforting and much better than typical diner). I tried a shrimp gumbo that was good, and a crab cake sandwich that was great. The house salad was even surprisingly good, and I had my first warm bacon dressing ever.

It’s open for lunch and dinner but not in between (I think it’s closed between 2:30 and 5:30). The menu also touts its full bar, but we didn’t have a martini lunch.

Tell me more about the crab cake sandwich…lump? broiled? If so, I’m all over this place. I can’t stand the frozen crab patty fried crap you get at most places. And yes, I’m from Maryland.

I went there the other day for a staff birthday lunch. I too enjoyed the food. I had the crab cake sandwich and part of the lemon pepper shrimp salad. Both very tasty!

My wife and I have been there several times for dinner. Friday’s are always crowded, but we don’t mind waiting.

I did order a blackened seafood entree once which came broiled. Rather than admit the mistake the waitress told me it was blackened, ‘that’s the way they did “blackened” ‘.
