This place is a awesome experience. Its a old gas station turned into a restaurant. We got there as soon as it opened and they were packed within the hour. The tables have paper for the kids to color on which I thought was a genius idea. I got the duck and it was tender and juicy and delicious. My husband got the blood Mary which there known for. It was well worth the visit.
I really wanted this place to be awesome. I’d heard about it for years and maybe it couldn’t live up to the hype. But the shrimp in the shrimp etoufe still had the shells. My wife got the chicken Parmesan and it wasn’t that good. Noodles under a chicken and cheese and I’m not sure if they forgot the sauce or if it was just how much they put on it.
First I have to say...this place is unassuming from the outside. But when you crest the doors and feel the atmosphere things change. You will question the hype. There is no hype. Chefs Point is down to one thing...amazing food. From the stuffed mushrooms, to the wine... and the main course. Just amazing.
Ok soooo obviously this establishment use to be a gas station ⛽ but they did wonderful things with it to turn it into a restaurant. They have a in door and out door option when it comes to eating. They extended the building making the inside much more spacious. The outside patio is absolutely marvelous with of course with misters to keep you nice and cool during those hot summer days. Me and my husband were from Florida and we saw there best bloody Marys on review and we had to come here and let me tell you they did not disappoint when it came to the presentation.
Drink machine was down so there were literally no beverages. Out of ox tails or no longer sale but have it on the menu. Same with fried green tomatoes. We ordered go blackened salmons and they both literally came out with 2 different sauces. The fried chicken was horrible and flavorless. The duck was fried well but literally had no seasoning. The lobster Mac and cheese came out with huge slices of bacon in it but it’s not listed to have any bacon. We wouldn’t have ordered it had we known. The only good item was the Italian nachos . Don’t waste your time or money
Okay so officially giving them 10 ✨ 🌟 out of 5!! With this restaurant that is surely possible!!First off…..The best customer service and the kindness employees/support there!! The manager Shelly was beyond amazingly🥲 magnificent !I’m going to always come here when I come on my route to DFW! I’m just in ah’ of how they prepared everything!!I got the Ox 🐂 tails along with the Mushrooms 🍄 knots amazing! Hands down amazing !!By far one of the best best restaurants I’ve ever been too! The cook 🍽 was amazing and they even came out to my truck to greet me!! Please stop here!! I tipped them $20 dollars and wish I could of gave them $50! See you guys soon!!#TeamChefPointBar!
Service was fantastic! Super cute patio environment. The food concepts were great... the execution was so so.The barramundi was excellent. The accompanying pasta was bland.My husband had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was dry and under salted and the waffle was meh. Like a toaster waffle.The $35 bloody Mary was a super fun idea. But again was not executed properly. Dry chicken, dry burger, awesome potato fries, and the shrimp was spot on. The drink itself was underwhelming. Whatever was on the rim of the glad was soooooo good.
We read about this place somewhere, and just had to try it. I have not one bad thing to say about this place. I will say the service was spot on, and the food is AMAZING, especially the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. Also you gotta try the BLOODY BEST Bloody Mary! Brunch was awesome, but now wanna come have dinner... See yall real soon!!!
Unassuming location from the outside. Used to be a gas station or at least part so its easy to miss. Inside is lovely. Everything about this place is different than what you might think. The menu is definitely bold. Had the Italian nachos, sexy fried chicken (yep you read right), and bread pudding. Service was excellent. One of my new favorite places. Its not cheap. Be prepared to spend around 15 dollars per entree. Dont let that turn you off from trying this place at least once.
The Prices were well worth it, being that you pay for what get and the Meal portion were on point. My wife and I didnt make it pass the Appetizers, but I did taste my main course before boxing it up to go. The Food was Magnificent and the story line leading up to this restaurant was a true definition of not giving up. I applaud that young man and the string women (wife) who stood with him to help this experience take place. Inspired Taste filled with Passion, Love, dedication and Sacrifice. In this World you receive Blessings and its truly coming in full circle to have had Chef Nwahee share his kitchen with our society. An experience that if you have an opportunity, you should Indulge in this Hidden Gem of Top Chef Dining in North Dallas, In the town of Watauga. Please Support we need places like this. I cant end this without saying the Management and Wait Staff are next level, compared to A 10 Star Fine Dining Establishment. Thank you for sharing in my experience.
Went here for the first time today. Everyone got something different and nothing disappointed. It does cost more than your normal sit down restaurantbut with the flavor of everything we tried it was worth every penny. The service here was honesty some of the best service I have had at a restaurant for a while now. Will definitely be back to try another dish. Thanks
Called in order told it would take 20 min it took almost 40 min. Instead of being advised of what the delay was the gentleman who took the call in order hid at the pass the entire time. He had someone else bring me my order and they knew it was taking a long time because he actually said Im sorry Just a side note the excuse can not be they were busy the restaurant only had one table occupied. Waste of my time not worth the wait. I will take my business to someone who understands and explians delays in service!
My family and I had a beautiful time celebrating my fathers 75th birthday at Chef Point. Our waiter was so kind and provided excellent customer service. I made the reservation for a party on short notice. The staff that handled the reservation was patient, courteous, and made me feel welcomed. The owners added their special touch of engaging in conversation with us to ensure that we felt welcomed in their restaurant.I cannot end this post without adding that the food was wonderful! My tummy smiled when I ate that amazing lobster bisque.Chef Point is absolutely worth the drive for great food and a quality customer experience!I want to thank the staff for for helping me make my fathers special day an extraordinary day!
L A N C E Is about the best top-notch waiter you will find, I wish I had employees like this gentleman they are few and far between. Keep doing what you’re doing Lance super great job you’re definitely the best waiter I have had, you are the reason I am taking time to review the Chef Point. Super great food…. With impeccable service.
Just excellent service and food! Loved...loved...loved it! Will definitely be back!
Love the locationGood parkingGreat staff, I forgot my waitress name, but she had lashes that were amazing and green eyeshadow. We sat outside and I had on floral. If she gets extra brownies I want her to have them.Anyway, I had chicken and waffles. Waffles were thick and amazing. Chicken was different, but good.The presentation was amazing. Check out my pics.My husband loves duck, so he had that and loved the sauce.Fast service, great assistants to waitress. To my waitress, use that card on your off day doll.Clean, sanitized, all workers had on the real mask. I loved it. Ill be back.Came back and had the famous Bloody Mary, omg. Check out the pictures for excitement.
Great service! Good food! Although the remodel takes away a little from the original gas station that was a real draw for them...but its overall great!
Dined on the patio, brunch on my birthday. Lance took very good care of us. Lobster bisque was superb.
Weve been going here since they opened. Beautiful decor and excellent staff. They still have the best macaroni and cheese Ive ever had!
We stopped here today for a business lunch. We had prompt and courteous service as always. Portion sizes are quite large for lunch and I would like to see a nice salad option but it’s always a great meal.
$100 meal that tastes and feels like $30. Let me explain. Food came out cold, poorly seasoned and tasted mass produced. That is ok if you are eating at olive garden, but this is twice the price. Shrimp and Grits for $23 but it only had 4 shrimp... comon. $40 duck plate and they skimped on the pasta...comon. And low quality paper napkin, for this price of meal it should be a cloth napkin. Not what it used to be.
We came here to celebrate my husbands birthday. Chef Franc and his wife Paula are awesome! Great customer service and a great vibe within and outside on the massive patio area. The food is always Top Chef quality. Join the mailing list so you can get invitations to exclusive events. I love this place ♥️♥️♥️. 5 Stars for cleanliness and customer service.
Wow, wow, WOW!!! What a gem! Was so impressed with this place! Truly 5-Star Cuisine. Possibly one of the best servers I have ever had as well! We started out with the Mimosa Flight, a bottle of Champagne and 4 different fruit juices! So cool! Then we had the stuffed mushrooms, Stuffed, Blackened Chicken breast with Lobster, Crab and cheese. Finished it up with the amazing Bread pudding!This place started in a gas station and still looks like it from the outside, but boy is that facade only skin deep! You are treated like royalty here! Cant wait to go back!!!
Absolutely delicious, best lobster bisque in Texas! Love the staff.. great atmosphere.
The chicken pesto is a delicious classic, but the French cut pork chop is my other favorite. Always delicious!
Our family was looking forward to returning to Chef Point after a very enjoyable visit before Covid. We were disappointed. The food good but not what we remembered. The service was great. Most disappointing was the bread pudding we all had been craving. It was too solid, lacked any distinguishing flavor. Definitely not what we remembered.
Menu and drink items were out that we wanted and the food was sub par. It definitely did not taste scratch made or high end for what you think you’re coming for. Disappointing as it sounded like it used to be a really good restaurant a long time ago.
This restaurant was outstanding! The service was prompt, friendly, and helpful with great suggestions for the first timer. Cool place. Good food and service.
Friendly staff, delectable cuisine, casual atmosphere. Everything I value in a restaurant that gets my repeat business.
The best place to eat in north Texas. Best food, customer service. Amanda, Cynthia and Angela were the BEST wait staff. We were here for 6 hours just having drinks and eating theyre amazing. Took care of all our needs, cant wait to come back. This is definitely going to be a regular for us. If you want good service and food come here and ask for Amanda, Angela or Cynthia. Theyre the best!!
My nephew and I shared the Irish nachos and stuffed mushroom caps and both were delicious. We also enjoyed our Mosaic IPA drafts. It would be easy to drive right past this place since it still resembles the filling station it once was, and I did just that. Fortunately there is access from both sides. Highly recommended!
Nice restaurant, good atmosphere, attentive staff, and delicious food. All around a great experience!
Great beer! Very relaxed atmosphere!
We had a great experience here. We went on a sunday when they had their comfort food menu. I had the mimosa flight which came with 4 juices and an entire bottle of champagne. The fried green tomatoes were delicious as was the ox tail and the hot brown was gone in the blink of an eye. Would absolutely come back again.
It was peaceful and quiet for a weekday brunch. The stuffed pork chop was delicious
Been coming to this restaurant for years...never disappointed...Italian nachos, stuffed pork chops, and dont get me started on the homemade bread pudding lol....my family always looks forward to coming here specifically on New Years Day for the amazing black eye peas and mimosas...if youve never been here.. what are you waiting for??
Good service, good food. The french toast is like having dessert.
We went for brunch and the chef did not disappoint!! The food was amazing! Eggs Benedict was spot on! My friend had the Monte Cristo. YUM! I inquired about the lobster bisque. The waitress It was the best that she deliver it. She even had people from Maine, tell her it was the best. We got two waters to go. That evening when we got home, we eat the lobster bisque. We come from Massachusetts. It was the BEST we had ever had! We live in Austin but we will be visiting again! Yum Yum!!
The food was great and favorable, but the service was sub-par even for short staffing standards that are becoming common in the restaurant industry. For our party of 7 a couple of dishes were mixed up, but the worst was the 3 bills were all incorrect, and had to be corrected a couple of times.We will try them again as the food was great and may update our review after the return visit.
I got the blackened stuffed Chicken (crab meat and pepper jack cheese) and it was delicious! Lance, our waiter, was very kind and attentive. Lance is one of the best waiters Ive ever had; he undeniably deserves a raise. I highly recommend requesting Lance as your waiter because hell take care of you. I also enjoyed their mimosa. I will definitely be coming back!
Unbelievably good food! I will be back again and again. I have never had anything bad on the menu. The picture is of the Monte Cristo which was very good.
I was incredibly disappointed today, we’ve dined here several times before and decided to take my son for his b-day certainly the worst meal I have had. It took a long time to receive our meals and the restaurant was practically empty. I ordered the shrimp and grits the 4 shrimp I received on my plate were small and rubbery and the amount of grits I received on the plate was enough to feed 20 people. My son had chicken and waffles the chicken was dry. My other son had the duck plate and that was again terrible tasting and cold. So disappointed will not be dining here again. The only good part of the dinner was the bread pudding and the waitress. Bless her heart she was sweet. I caution you should you decide to still try. Sad to see this go down! 😔
We haven’t been to Chef Point in well over a year. We went tonight and it has really gone down hill. There were only 2 other families in the entire restaurant around dinner time. There were a good amount of staff standing around talking. The atmosphere has changed and it seems a little run down now. They were out of all soda products and their Sunday menu was very limited. We ordered the lobster bisque in a bread bowl for an appetizer. The soup was good but it had random fettuccine noodles in it. My child ordered the kids chicken fingers and the chicken was just a sliced chicken breast they use for the chicken parmigiana. The fried chicken was very bland and the mashed potatoes/gravy was cold. The bill for our mediocre dinner was $77 without tip. I don’t think we will be back again.
Nice place to eat and very good service. Food was excellent as well but the service really stood out to me especially when service isnt something that is even decent in most places anymore
The service was Awesome! And the kitchen knocked it out of the park with my Stuffed Poblano Pepper! Perfect blend of heat and stuffing. And the Asiago sauce was Incredible!Cant wait to come back!Thanks for a wonderful brunch!
Excellent hamburgers, great atmosphere, and amazing service. Definitely a gem.
If youre interested in going to the Watauga location, please bring cash. I ordered to go, and the restaurant charged me twice. I tried talking to the manager, but she wasnt any help at all. I offered to send a screenshot of my account, but she said its not on their books. You can see the charges below. I work too hard for my money to donate it to chef point.
Loved our brunch experience on the patio. Under staffed as many places are right now, but the staff that were there were working hard and doing their best with smiles and courtesy. Food was hot and delicious. Drinks also delicious. The Bloody Best bloody Mary is really fun and yummy.
Honestly, this is an old gas station converted to a restaurant so I went inside thinking it would be a cheap dive to get a bite. Boy was I disappointed. Elegant atmosphere, nice music, staff very professional and on top of it all the whole time... Shoot this is a real nice place! So dont go here thinking its wataugas version of fried green tomatoes. This place is great and I highly recommend the Hawaiian salmon 😋
First time here and will def be back! Loved everything we ate and drank. Large shareable portions!
Their brunch was really good. Had the lobster mac and cheese and it was really creamy and had flavorful lobster 😋 the mimosas came with 4 different juices (watermelon, peach, prickly pear and mango) that werent overwhelming at all. I had the shrimp and grits and the shrimp were huge and they made it with an egg which was a little different but turned out to be really good but overall it was missing a good creole kick. Plus the shrimp and grits shouldnt be priced for $24, just a little too high for a basic dish that slightly missed the mark (my sisters chicken and waffles tasted great though). Then I had key lime pie that was AMAZING, homemade and tasty! Really good meal, would definitely go back.
No gas, hard bread, old chicken. Of all the gas stations I’ve been to, this is the worst. Wouldn’t recommend. But if you do come, ask for Lissa . She’s cool.
Chef is from the Caribbean and is a classic trained French chef. When he came to Texas no one would loan him money to open a restaurant. They would give him money to buy a Gas Station! He added some tables and began cooking Fabulous French foods. I have eaten here many times over the years and can always say follow the flavor!!!
Always enjoy this place. I wish it could still be the little convenience store restaurant. The food is still amazing.
Service was great. London (server) was personable. My entree was just OK for the price paid. I would have expected a bit more.
From the outside it looks very rinky dink. But inside it takes you to a whole new world. The patio area was nice too. Took my two pups there and they loved it and their food :)
Good food and great customer service. I have been 3 times in the last 3 weeks and have taken more people with me each time. Your food is made to order, food portions are generous and flavor is on point.I would recommend the stuffed pork chop, chicken parmesan with white sauce and the Italian nachos. The white sauce is the best!
My first time here did not disappoint! I started with the Italian nachos and man, I was not ready for this new addiction lol. Its almost like having chicken alfredo nachos. Im craving them writing this. I also had the duck and it was cooked to perfection. The sauce was a tad bit sweet for me but over all the dish is delicious. Service was A1 and the drinks hit the spot too! They have an awesome selection of margaritas! Im definitely coming back to try more of the menu.
The Bloody Best was amazing and is a keeper!! The Bread Pudding was devine!!! Prickly Pear Mimosa for WIN!!!
Staff was great, food was superb, well worth the drive.
The service the food deserve more than 5 stars food came out hot and so delicious. One of my new favorite places.
Food was excellent. Menu had enough variety to be interesting, but not overwhelming. Only reason I am not giving 5 stars is the waitstaff could be better. We had a hit-and-run waiter. Didnt stop long enough for us to say anything and didnt ask if everything was okay, which it wasnt. Some items not brought to the table and we had to flag someone down to get them. At the beginning when we should have been ordering something to drink, he dropped off water at the table and asked one of the four of us if they wanted anything but water and then speed off when that person said no. Didnt ask the rest of us!
The food is good. I shared my banana pudding which was really good and not too sweet. Our server was friendly and nice. Overall I would recommend this restaurant. The outside patio dining is nice. Go visit you will enjoy the atmosphere. I like that I didnt feel rushed to eat and get out of the restaurant.
Very nice and helpful staff with the tasty Caribbean type menu selections...!
So so so disappointed in them. I just had surgery and wanted one cup of lobster bisque. A woman manager told me they aren’t doing to go orders (even for a cup of soup!) I spend so much money here. They just lost a customer. You are not that busy to pour soup in a to go container. I have been recommending them to friends. NOT anymore.
