  Waypoint Public, in North Park, sits in a prime location on the corner of 30th and N Park Way. While the busy North Park traffic buzzed by as commuters headed home from work, I sat down with a friend to enjoy a couple of local craft beers and a number of unique apps and desserts!One the coolest things right off the bat is the open-air environment Waypoint Public offers. This beautifully designed restaurant is one of the most interesting and enjoyable environments I have eaten in recently. You can tell that a lot of work went into the creation of this restaurant. I couldn’t wait to experience it!We ordered a couple of local craft beers on tap. The selection of craft beers is extensive and sure to meet your expectations. Now for the apps! I had checked out the menu online before coming and had noticed a number of interesting apps I wanted to try.We ordered the BLT Deviled Eggs, Fresh Homemade Pretzel served with Rauchbier Mustard and the Po’ Boy Taco. Yes, you read that all right — and imagine the flavors accented just right with the local craft beers. Nothing short of exciting!The BLT Deviled Eggs tasted just like they are written. I love Deviled Eggs and these were a step above any I have ever eaten. The pretzel was prepared by Pastry Chef Jenn Reinhart. Chef Reinhart really out did herself! I decided I would try a couple of her desserts tonight. The Po’ Boy Taco was to the main reason I stopped at Waypoint in the first place. The Po’ Boy tacos are a tasty combination of fried oysters, French fries, Jicama & Jalapeno Slaw, Aioli and Smoked Tomatillo Salsa. The fried oysters tasted as fresh as those I used to get in the Gulf. The Aioli and Smoked Tomatillo Salsa was really creamy. Each bite was an explosion of flavor best described as excellent! You must try the Po’ Boy Taco along with your favorite craft beer while enjoying the North Park view.And now the moment I’ve been waiting for, dessert! After the Chef Reinhart experience earlier in the evening, I highly anticipated the two desserts I wanted to taste. We ordered the S’morelaska and the Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar. The S’morelaska is milk chocolate malt ice cream, Graham crackers, toasted marshmallow and campfire caramel. With layer after layer of old-school s’more goodness, I highly recommend this dessert. The Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar was a delight as well. It was made with sweet potato sorbet, black cocoa crumb and chai cream. Take a look at the picture to get an idea of just how good it tasted!

  My husband and I were craving some good craft beer the first time we dined here (just like every weekend), and we wanted to find some great food to go with it, preferably in a location appropriate for our 2 young kids. Waypoint Public was the perfect choice! We had a tremendous selection of beer to choose from, the food was phenomenal and our kids had a blast playing in the kids play area with all of the other kids. I ordered the BLFGTA (which is basically a BLT with fried green tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes) and I loved it! I would have much rather tried the Po Boy Tacos or Chicken & Biscuit Sandwich, but they were sadly already out of both items. I guess you need to dine early if you want your pick of the best menu items! My husband had the Waypoint Burger after seeing a neighboring table receive theirs, and he loved it! I didn’t sample it myself, but it looked and smelled delicious! They had traditional kids breakfast cereals available as well as other kid items like French Toast (which was to die for), and several choices for beverages for the kiddos too. Our server was top notch, super friendly and great with the kids. Service got a little slow at times, but it was packed and our kids were in a good mood so it didn’t affect us too much. My overall review is 4 1/2 stars…only docking a half star for being out of several menu items (and the first beer my hubby ordered) and for somewhat slow service at times. Nothing major though, we’ll definitely be back often!! stylishlysocial.com

  I love the fact that they have a kids play space inside! I wish more restaurants did this!We came here for Mothers Day Eve to enjoy some brunch. I loved the LemonAle Shandy! So yum and refreshing! My husband also had a cherry cider and was very good!The food was a bit disappointing. It took over 30 minutes for us to get our food. My dad got the corned beef hash and was disappointed that there wasn’t enough corned beef to his expectation. I had the Pulled Pork Biscuit Benny which was very salty. Actually, our entire party did say their meals were on the salty side. My kids had the baked french toast which was super yum! It was a gooey, warm french toast that was one of the better french toasts I’ve had. I’d like to try this place out again for dinner. I’ve heard so many good things that I’m sad I didn’t get the same experience. I’m willing to give it another try since they have the play space inside =) garciamemories.com

  Great family friendly brunch spot. The B.L.A.G.T is to die for and check out their beermosa’s. Grab a table near the play area and while you eat the kiddo’s can play in the specially designed kids area complete with kid’s shows playing, toys and games. raisingmissmatilda.com

  The flat iron steak with pretzel dumpling was so delicious. I tried several desserts – 4 actually – and they were all fantastic, but the S’morelaska was my favorite. Yum!!!
