5 Points Deli & Grill

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'll be back!

Incredible deli. I ordered the Memphis Mafia burger and Love At First Bite. Both were excellent. I follow a gluten free diet and they offered a bed of lettuce or a fried cheese “bun”. 10/10
