5 Points Deli & Grill — Restaurant in Montgomery

Our first time at 5 Points. On a scale of zero to five, 5 Points Deli & Grill rates 4.98 points! (I'll explain the missing 0.02 at the end of this review!)

We were warmly greeted, and Maddie immediately asked what we would like to eat. Being first-timers, we weren't sure at all, so Maddie offered a "quick run-through" of their menu. "Sandwich or a burger?" We were hungry for a great hamburger, ava were asked for a recommendation. Maddie described her personal favorite, the BTB (Buffalo Thai Burger) and it sounded great.

And it was! Just the right level of mild spicy, and the buffalo sauce blended in nicely without being over-sweet or spicy hot. Plus, being gluten-sensitive, we felt honored and appreciated when Maddie immediately said, "How about some sourdough bread?" Yes! (I don't understand the science of it, but sourdough bread plays nicely with a gluten-sensitive tummy!)

The seasoned fries and pasta salad were the "frosting on the cake". (Speaking of dessert, we snagged a couple of Caramel Pies to go!)

Only one small (0.02 point) recommendation.

One: Napkins will be an essential resource for the successful completion of your mission, should you choose to accept it. However...we found our napkin dispenser utterly frustrating! The first dozen attempts to persuade the dispenser to politely dispense a dozen paper napkins resulted in twelve terribly fragmented, ripped, useless bits of processed paper.

Recommendation: Pack the dispenser carefully, without over-packing and stuffing too many napkins! Pack a reasonable amount of napkins, close the lid, then try pulling out one napkin. If the napkin rips and tears, then you've packed too many napkins in the dispenser!

Two: The chairs are not comfortable. They are attractive, and they fit the atmosphere, but they aren't comfortable, especially for the "wider of hull" person! The bench against the wall was helpful, however. Maybe add a cushion?

OK, the 0.02 rant is done and over.

Thank you, Maddie, for the nice run-through and helpful attention....

We were excited to visit the establishment, but the young lady at the front bar was unfriendly and left a bad taste in our mouths. I am not sure if she resented being there or was having a bad day, but it was very clear, we interrupted her day. She wasn’t cordial in the least and did not even greet us. No smile, just I’ll be with you in a minute. When she was ready my husband inquired about a specific burger, she pointed to the paper menus and said the descriptions are in there. My father ordered a BBQ salad and my mother ordered a chicken salad sandwich. My husband ordered a Queso Burger, and I ordered a PS I lLove You. After ordering, my mother asked if she could add lettuce and tomato to her sandwich, to which the girl said, “We are out of tomatoes,” yet there was no mention of that when the salad was ordered. Once our orders were ready, she brought them to us. My father asked for extra salad dressing, this girl audibly sighed and walked away, but she did bring him one. She never acknowledged our ‘“thank you’s” or patronage. After taking a bite of my sandwich, I realized something was missing. I reread the menu description to make sure I wasn’t going to bother her over my mistake concerning what was supposed to be on the PS I Love You, then turned to ask, “Are y’all out of slaw too?” Having her feet propped up, she looked up over her phone and knees to say, “Yes.” Had she had the decency to tell us that upon ordering, I wouldn’t have ordered it.

We saw the now hiring sign on the front door. I am not sure if she was the only employee available or if she was the owner’s daughter that was forced to work there because no one else came in… but she made our experience at 5Point...

I found this place when I looked up “best burgers In Montgomery”. It is a small restaurant with a sports bar look. Upon walking in, I was greeted right away. Since I was dining in, I was told to place my order at the bar and take a seat. I did just that. While I was waiting, I grabbed my drink (this place has Pepsi products and tea) from the fountain sodas and started noticing the atmosphere in the restaurant. There were a few TVs, alcohol for mixed drinks, and a number of beers on tap. In addition, I noticed chalkboard and writing On some of the walls, giving more detail to their food. I also noticed that there was a stack of games for people to play while they were at the restaurant. These games included: Uno, Chess, Checkers and others. I ordered the Hollerpenyo & Bacon burger with fries. I will start with the fries, I was disappointed when they came out because I could tell they were not freshly made fries. They were definitely frozen from a bag. I will say, though, that they were seasoned well. I was just hoping for fresh fries. The burger itself was delicious! The patty was thick, it was cooked to perfection and very juicy! It was full of flavor and the bun was thick enough to hold together the hamburger as a whole. I liked the size of the jalapeños that were put in the burger, I was just hoping that they would be a little more spread out versus all in one spot. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant for someone who is going here for a burger. While the restaurant has a whole slew of sandwiches, by the taste of their burgers… I would say their sandwiches are probably really...
