response to the "racial profiling review"

As a patron of this fine place for over ten years, your review is hilarious! We take all kinds, even silly people like you. Sounds like you are paranoid and perhaps on something too... perhaps too much self-righteousness. Viva the Five Point!

prepare to be judged at the register

Drink prices are on a sliding scale, of quality and price depending on how you look, how staff feels.

A lovely dive

I used to live across the street from the Five Point, for almost my whole "21st Year", and let me tell you, this place was a Godsend...great food, great prices, reeeeally stiff drinks, and sassy waitstaff. Anyone who's looking for a "classic" or "50's-style" diner should look elsewhere...this place is pure dive, but remains a shimmering star in the Belltown firmament.

so my hubby and i park the car while my friend goes to get a table-we walk in big white guy trys to keep us from the "bar" side (i assume he's just racially profiling us-)and my friend is at a booth in the bar, he says theres no staff. the white guy jumps behind the bar cuz he's now the tender. sends the bevs out. then we watch as one by one the staff and/or regulars peeked into the mens room for six seconds each including a woman twice. perhaps i should not be concerned if a landmark feels comfortable with the truth that type of behavior suggests, but if there are both a men and ladies room, a man should not have to use the ladies room because the staff can't keep their habit off the clock. we scrapped our food order, paid and the larrge white guy ran to the front door and as my husband approached he said "yep!-he's on sumpin" then, to my husband- you have a nice evening" this is not the review i wanted to give and i don't wish to be inappropriate, but i stand by every word.

Truck stop food is delicous

This place jams! I visit every time I am in Seattle, they have great beer on tap. Next time I am picking up one of their t shirts. Check the window above the urinal. Sorry girls.

Characters for Sure

I love the Five Point, because something great always happens there. Case in point: The other day, I was sitting there, eating some delicious tater tots, and a man who was sitting at the table next to me turns to his companion and says, "So, are you into Charles Manson?"

PANCAKES!!!

I went here the other night, ready for some good ol' flapjacks - expecting something standard and unmemorable. Whoops - wrong place for that! These pancakes were fantastic! Best I remember having in Seattle. Crispy outside, perfectly fluffy inside, soaking up all the syrup I could throw at them... People walked by, for real, and said 'oh my god, I'm getting pancakes' after seeing my plate.

No Nonsense

My fiance and I are here all the time. It's not trendy, it's not frou frou...just stiff drinks and the most amazing comfort food in Seattle! The prices are great and the staff is a treat as long as your good to them. A no nonesense spot - good food, good drinks, good times.

Chicken Fried Steak Challenge

I've never had a bigger slab of chicken fried steak. That sucker hangs off the edges of your plate! I've attempted many times to finish that thing and, despite how greasily delicious, can't do it. Just think the Mecca with an expanded menu and even stiffer drinks. Hot Damn!

Just punch yourself in the face instead

If you're an alcoholic looking for drinks to cure the shakes, then maybe this is your type of place. However, if you actually want to drink something other than a mixer with rubbing alcohol, its probably not. Not to judge a place by 1 bad experience, but the worst bartender on earth works there. Some surly old jerk. If I were to walk in and see that asshole, I'd walk right the fuck out. *Maybe* the food is good, but why not go to a greasy dive where the bartenders arent total dickweeds? Hell, just go home and punch yourself in the face, drink some listerne, and eat your cats litter. Same experience for half the price!

Best Hangover Food EVER!

Oh man, how many times has the 5-Point Cafe saved my life on the morning after a night of too many drinks? The food is totally greasy, but that's the point, right? They have some of the killer-est omlettes ever. The staff is super friendly, they have a great selection of music in the jukebox, and fab (strong) drinks! This has got to be my favorite greasy-spoon place ever. Yummy! (Not a good place for a diet, though. Just take a walk to the waterfront afterwards!)

It's Like a Second Home!

These guys make a great burger and a killer Ruben. You wouldn't expect even kinds good food when you first walk in. But between the great food, atmosphere, hot tattooed wait staff, and stiff drinks this is one of my favorite places in town. Oh and tried the fried Mac and cheese. It's heaven on a plate!

But How Are Their Nachos?

If you're there, it ain't because yhou have a distrriminating palate, it's because you like stiff drinks or need greasy breakfasts to get you through that 4am blackout. These people probably make nachos at home I'm thinking.
