North Point Bar & Grill

The most ghetto f****** disgusting bar on the face of the planet I didn’t even want to sit down! Not to mention the fact that I was getting the dirtiest looks from everyone from every which way. And a girl was on the dance floor straight up no joke in a teeny tiny shirt and underwear with sneakers! No joke this b**** had on black underwear as pants and sneakers! I couldn’t believe it I’ve never seen nothing like that in my life, it was extraordinarily clear that they were not daisy dukes they were straight up underwear. If they’re going to let a nasty trash like that wander around with her coochie practically hanging out of straight up Victoria’s Secret underwear then I seriously don’t even want to sit on the seats. Me and my husband were there for maybe 5 minutes and turned around and left

I was doing work for my parents, after I finished they took me out, and they had me try this bar for dinner. We had bone in wings and french fries. I think it was a daily special for $.50 wings and we got 20. Half bbq and half buffalo. The fries were good, reminded me of McD’s style. Good but not the best.
The wings on the other hand were great. The bbq were good, but had a kraft bbq sauce flavor. The buffalo took the cake. Great heat, nice strong vinegar flavor. A bit of an after taste from it but overall great flavor. It was the crowd favorite. Had decent meat on it, and was juicy. I am guessing deep fried because it was crispy on outside like it should be.
Service was a bit lack luster for a smaller crowd. Nice enough, just not prompt enough. Food was ⁴⁄₅. Service was 2.5÷5. No sales tax because indian land. And yes indoor smoking as well also because of indian land.

I came in at 11:30 am for a quick lunch. I decided on breakfast and found that they had a steak, hash browns and 2 egg special for $ 7.00. It was very good and the service was also excellent. God came fast, the order was done as I requested and coffee flowed in a timely manner. I will come in again. The atmosphere could use some work, but my food and coffee were good and reasonable in price… A great combo!

First off… Only reason I came here was because I got a groupon for $ 12 for $ 25 worth of food. Secondly, I thought it was NOT this bar… I thought it was somewhere more in the QFC Norpoint area. Non stated on the Groupon was the fact that they allow smoking in this establishment. Disgusting. The place reeked.
That was only the first thing I experienced. While waiting about 5 minutes at the bar to have someone take my order, finally they came to me (mind you there wasn’t many people at the bar, and there were two people behind it), I decided to order the Chicken Quesadilla and a Mac N Jack to start off. 15 minutes goes by, 6 of which my food was sitting in the window getting cold. I finally have to go up to the bar, ask if that is my food and then he hands it to me. its cold. I ask him to nuke it for me, and when I get it back, he had nuked the salsa and the sour cream that were on the plate, and the tortilla on the quesadilla was riduclously rubbery now. That was strike 2.
While I had been waiting for my food, I decided to look at Unilocal and saw that if you Check In you get a $ 1 domestic pint (normally $ 3) so I order a Coors Light. Finally I let him know I wanna get a sub sandwich (more on that later) and then square up for my bill. Told him I had my Unilocal coupon for checking in, along with my Groupon. He told me they DO NOT HONOR THE Unilocal COUPON! Doesn’t know why… just that they don’t honor it. I have him call the owner, he says that someone who doesn’t work for the company set it up, and that they don’t honor it. Not only are they AWARE of the fact that it is there, and a simple call to Unilocal can get it taken off, they aren’t going to eat the $ 2 for their laziness as a business. I don’t care if you have a coupon for $ 10… if it is on your business page for Unilocal or anywhwere else… you honor that. Also said I was one of the few that had brought that up. So they have maybe hasd 5 – 10 people mention it, whereas they could have lost between $ 10-​$ 20, but instead they pissed off 5 – 10 people. Makes a lot of sense…
Lastly, and THE ONLY REASON they get two stars, is their Big Willy sandwich. One of the heaviest, packed subway sandwiches I have ever had. and it is tasty as hell. I will order this to go, but I will not be back to dine in this establishment. The Air is disgusting, the clientele is scummy, and I don’t like their business practices.

I should’ve read the reviews on here first, too. Smoking is allowed indoors and there is not a no-​smoking section. Typical dive-​bar food for dive-​bar prices. The 3-​days-​in bartender/waiter/$;?!@ did all the work while the rude waitress tried to make herself look busy, but wasn’t in the least. If you like to drink cheap, eat cheap, and play games in a smoking environment then this is the place to go. If all you want is a nice, quiet meal, not so much.

The only reason my husband and I went here at all was my groupon. It was clean enough but I had no idea they allowed smoking inside which was very off-​putting. I haven’t eaten yet as we ordered to go, but if it’s good it’ll be their only redeeming value for me. I won’t be returning. There should really be something on the groupon fine print to give patrons a heads up about the stench!

I went to this place too because I had also gotten the Groupon Deal. When I saw what the place looked like, I was a bit disappointed.
I should have read reviews before going, because I didn’t realize there was smoking allowed. As a nonsmoker, it made me miserable, but my date was happy. Smoking, pool tables, and strong, cheap drinks. He loved it!
He enjoyed his bleu cheese burger (a recommendation by our waiter/​bartender) and I ordered the Big Willy. However, due to an error at some point between me, the waiter, and the cook, I received a «Philly» instead. I decided just to have it, since it looked pretty good anyway. After having about half of it, the waiter stopped by to see how we were doing. I mentioned the error, and he offered to get me the correct sandwich, but I just stuck with the Philly. He did fix the bill so I didn’t get charged for the other, more expensive sandwich though.
After reading Rusty’s review of the Big Willy Sub, I wish I had just asked for the replacement. Either way, the subs and burgers are made on fresh made bread baked in-​house. So even though I don’t love Philly cheese steak, I did like the bread.
The waffle fries were delicious, but it’s hard to go wrong on those.
Overall, the service was great, the food was ok depending on what you order (or get), but the place is pretty much a dive. If you want to smoke indoors while you play a round of pool or sing karaōke, this is the place to go.
Probably not the best place for a nice date though.

What a strange little place this is… Good food and cheap prices at this tobacco smoke filled dive bar in Tacoma’s nether reaches.
The North Point Bar and Grill is a throwback to a bygone era in Washington State– specifically prior to 2005, when bars were still filled with the pungent odor of cigarette smoke. I must admit, I never really realize how much I don’t miss those days until I step into one of the few places around that still allows the practice indoors. The bar is located on Puyallup Tribal land (and conveniently shares the building with a tribal smoke shop), which makes it exempt from the state law.
The interior of this place is nothing special: a windowless box in rather dirty, shabby condition with a couple of pool tables, dart boards, a small stage, and a few TV screens, and a lot of tables and chairs taking up most of the floor space. Aside from the smoke, something in here kinda stinks (and there’s nothing ‘kinda’ about it when it comes to the men’s room). This doesn’t sound like a very good review, does it?
Well, I think that there are several good things going for the North Point. For one thing, our waitress/​bartender was fantastic: friendly, funny, and efficient– couldn’t have asked for more. The Groupon deal they were offering (this is how I found out about this establishment in the first place; had never heard of it before) made going out to lunch here a great value at $ 12 for $ 25. When we arrived and checked out the menu and the daily specials, though, we realized you don’t need a Groupon deal to score some amazingly cheap grub here– the Monday specials included $ 3.50 burger & fries and $ 7.00 steak & eggs (breakfast served all day– another plus). Pretty cheap beer and drinks, too.
What really sealed the deal, however, was the Big Willy sandwich: turkey, ham, angus beef, bacon, cheddar, swiss, provolone and toppings. This thing was like a Meat Tornado on a 12″ bun, and it was GOOD! I had three full meals out of that thing, and each one of them left me full for hours. Not something I would want to order often, but I was sure glad I tried it.
I’m not sure that I would want to come by here at night; it’s in a kinda sketchy part of town (I wouldn’t have even realized that this is still within Tacoma city limits if the address didn’t say so) and there’s a sign posted in the restroom that says something to the effect of ‘due to high demand we’ll be charging a $ 5 cover after 10pm’. Could be interesting, I suppose… but with just the 10 or so people that were in here when I had lunch the place reeked of smoke so I’d hate to see what it’s like when they’re packed.
