The Pointe at Lake Gaston

Had drinks and appetizers at the gazebo today and Amanda was amazing, very warm and welcoming, made us feel at home even though it was our first time visiting The Pointe. She is truly a people person. Food was great and we enjoyed the view of the lake and all the wildlife that were present. Hate to hear this is the last year of operation.

Great food as always but the service wasn't as good as it has been in the past. Anytime a server takes your order without writing it down, it's probably going to be wrong. Please, use a pen and paper and get it right. Anyways, we got our appetizer after we were almost done with our meal because she forgot to put the order in.

The crab legs were the only thing decent. Considering everything else I was shocked they were not rubbery. The fries were oily and tasted like they were cooked in rancid grease. The poor server was so overwhelmed. I think she was the only one on with one runner and had a table of 12 so it’s no wonder the poor thing could barely keep up. The coleslaw had no taste. The Carolina pulled pork had no taste. I think it may be the type of restaurant that the bar snacks and fried food are the only thing worth going for but considering french fries tasted like they were in bad grease maybe not. I was really disappointed. I was hoping that this would be a good spot to eat that was close by and you could take guests when they come to visit. The flies were horrendous. I could understand a couple of flies, but there were like 20 or 30 they were in my tea and I couldn’t even finish that. May go if they have live music and have drinks, but won’t be eating there again.

We are definitely looking forward to going back soon. This was a Mother's Day outing and I was speechless. I will be bringing the whole family next time. The lake front restaurant has beautiful scenery and the variety of food items that are delicious. It has a boat rental next door with an adjacent pier. A lifetime memory you must experience!..

FOOD POISONING!!!!! 2 out of the 5 people that ate with me at this restaurant were throwing up the entire night after dinner. It got so bad they had to go to the hospital which was where they were told it was food poisoning. I tried calling the manager to make them aware and management claimed it must’ve been a reaction to some oil and did not take it seriously whatsoever. The manager asked for a doctors note as if I was making it up. After reading reviews I realized their sanitation score is 83. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Thought the food and service was good until two of my friends got severe food poisoning after eating there last night. They had the catfish and the carolina bbq. Safe to say we will probably not be back.
