Long Point Grill

It's been quite a while since my last post. I have been out fishing, taking care of Thanksgiving and Christmas chores and shopping, and generally busy with life. One of the things I have been able to do was get out to lunch at Long Point Grill - twice.
Although easy to find, Long Point Grill is kind of hidden and hard to stumble upon without looking for it. It is on the part of Long Point Road near the port, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and Possums. I had heard about it several times from friends before I finally decided to try it. I took Christine for lunch one day while we were out running errands and it was great. The following week, we took my Mom there for lunch. It was equally great.
Long Point Grill is one of Sal's restaurants. He also owns or is partners in Uno Mas, Boulevard Diner, Mustard Seed, and several others. I really like some of them, others not so much.
At the Long Point Grill, I have had the Cuban and the Roast Beef; both were excellent. The Cuban was much more flavorful. I would expect that because it has a greater variety of meats. The roast beef was good. It seemed like the beef would benefit from some spice or flavoring. If you are looking for the pure taste of good rare roast beef, this is the sandwich for you. As far as the Cuban goes, one thing that is missing in the Charleston area is a good Cuban restaurant. However, the Long Point Grill has a great Cuban sandwich. I liked the blend of flavors and the mustard had a good amount of spice.
Christine has had the Blackened Chicken Quesadillas and the Charleston Shrimp Po' Boy. She also enjoyed them both. I tried them and liked them as well. I think my Mom had a crab burger, which she really enjoyed.
If there is a negative, I would say it is the sides. The fries are shoestring potatoes and sprinkled with parsley or another green herb. They were hot and not greasy; but otherwise not anything to write home about. On the other hand, I did order them both times. Christine did not enjoy her collard greens and didn't have a side with the quesadillas. On the plus side, the fried green tomatoes that came with my Mom's crab burger were pretty good.
The portions are large and we were able to have lunch the next day with the leftovers. Meals run about $10 per person. It's a bit pricey for lunch. I think the food and service are worth it for a special treat.
