We were greeted with friendly and fast service. Really love that it's pet friendly-- all of the servers loved on our pup. We had the pretzel as an appetizer. It was super fresh, and the beer cheese was hot and flavorful. We also had a smash burger. It was a little smaller than I expected, but fresh. My husband had the Chicago dog. Being from Chicago, he had high hopes. It was decent enough, but not his favorite. Kids meal was a lot of food for our little one, so we brought leftovers home. The biggest negative is they advertise being very kid friendly, but they don't have high chairs. Thankfully our stroller pulls up to a table fairly well, but if not, I likely wouldn't have stayed and ordered. read more

Service was good. Food was not good, I had Philly. Bathroom was discussing, toilet didn't flush, no towels just dirty. As I pass by the kitchen the staff was sitting on the prep table, kitchen was dirty. That night all 4 of us got sick & into the morning. So sorry we stopped there. read more

Great staff and atmosphere and it's family friendly. When it's nice out they open the giant garage doors that are usually windows.

The staff were so kind and helpful. We arrived with a couple babies in our party and the staff were so kind to turn down the volume of the TV in our area. Food was delicious. We got hotdogs and pretzel buns. read more

Amazing steak dinner for only 30$. Wow. Steak delious, huge baked potatoe and great salad. We will certainly be back on Mondays!

Great food, good service, and a fun atmosphere! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Outside boasts a stage for live performances and room for outdoor play. I would recommend this place read more

The Tipping Point - Al Capone - Bars Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

This place is the most kid friendly, dog friendly and parent friendly place with good food ever. Before we even got food, I was in shock. It's a fenced in outdoor eating place with a plot of grass and a hill for playing! Dog bowls and dog treats available! Cute tables everywhere and then we finally made it inside. The only waiter/bartender there (Poor guy was so busy, but killing it!). The inside is cute and has a great atmosphere. Lots of alcoholic drink options as well. All the food we got was perfect for what we needed! Corn dogs, burgers and sandwiches! And Zappa potato chips with french onion dip! Perfecto! I wish they had a place like this in New Orleans. We would go regularly. I love it! read more

The bar is what attracts most people to The Tipping Point but they have a solid small menu as well. We went during the lunch hour for a quick bite to eat. They have a few different seating areas - a lounge, high top tables and chairs, a bar, and outdoors. We sat inside andwere one of four parties in the restaurant at the time so we had excellent service from the bartender. After getting our drinks, we ordered a burger and a flatbread. The smash burger can be customized and it comes with chips, slaw, or tots. I chose the tots and then upgraded them to a smaller portion of the tachos. We got a flatbread with pepperoni and bacon. As we waited for our food, we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the three tv displays. The food was served hot and it was actually very good. I kept the burger toppings classic with cheese, spinach, tomatoes, and grilled onions. I liked that they toasted the hamburger bun and that they seasoned the burger. I even saw salt and pepper sprinkled on the tomatoes! This burger was simple but very satisfying. The tachos were advertised as having cheese, bacon bits, pickled jalapeños, and sour cream. We were told that the jalapeños were still being pickled but there was no mention of where the bacon was. The mostly cheesy tots topped with sour cream were a little softer than I thought they would be. They didn't have that great crunch on them and they needed some salt, which I'm assuming the bacon usually added. The flatbread was quickly devoured. This is a great spot in The Hampstead for food and drinks and to hangout. They offer live music on some nights and they have bottles of wine for purchase. The food here is very reasonably priced, which makes the value excellent. read more

This place has gone way down hill. No one wanted to take our order - the guy and gal servers were too busy flirting and hanging out inside. Had to go to the bartender who wasn't really in the mood. Food took over an hour.... For 3 hot dogs. An hour. Was given an excuse that they are short staffed. Apparently they are so short staffed they can't even function. Ultimately got to eat a very average meal with a warm beer. Go somewhere else read more

Always a fun vibe here and the food is very good. It's bar food, one of the best smash burgers I've had.

The Hampstead is synonymous with excellent neighborhoods and a safe place to raise a family in Montgomery Alabama. It also boasts a trendy pub with delicious food and the best servers around a quirky lil' joint called "The Tipping Point."When we arrived for #thirstythursday , there was a private party raising money for Magic Moments! What an incredible organization that grants wishes to children suffering from chronic life threatening or acute life altering conditions in Alabama. If you want to support this amazing cause visit www.magicmoments.org But if you just want to come to a hometown bar with great food the BEST servers and atmosphere give The Tipping Point a chance we LOVE this place and know you will too !! read more

This establishment is part of the Greater local town center of Hampstead in East Montgomery; the feel of this village is akin to what looks like a novel housing division out of a Harry Potter book; I suspect this village to actually be some annex to Hogwarts school of magic...but I digress. It is an unassuming prefabricated glorified trailer on the exterior; on the inside, well it's just the nicest double-wide trailer I've ever had the privilege to occupy. There's a small playground area outside for the kids. I have only been here during US men's soccer team matches so it's hard for me to gauge the regular crowd. That said it's replete with your thirtysomething metrosexual lumberjack looking people...As well as an assorted cast of non-specific young families and generic professionals. Thanks for beer selection and food is typical of what you would expect from a bar and grill. read more

Ate here a week or so ago. Had a server named Tyler to take care of us. He was very helpful and insightful on guiding us over the menu and drink selections. Fairly busy at the time of my meal, but everything felt smooth and calm. They had live music outside with a nice outdoor subway bar that looks straight out of Chicago. Every food and drink item tasted amazing and it definitely has me wanting to go back. Would definitely recommend anyone to go back, and be sure to ask for Tyler! read more

We enjoyed the smash burger and meatball sub! Friendly service. Fun place to hang out, have a drink and some yummy food.

The Tipping Point is a bar and restaurant which serves regular bar food. I did not try any of the drinks the time that I visited. The ambiance is quite nice. It's pretty well lit for a bar and spacious with high ceilings. There's an outside area like a porch with a hill for kids to play on and it is also dog friendly. We came with a big group on a Thursday evening. Everyone in our group arrived at slightly different times and we split up and sat at two adjacent tables. My part of the large group arrived at around 6:30 and ordered maybe 10 minutes later. The waiters took our credit cards at the beginning which makes sense for a group our size and the fact that we were likely to pay individually. I rarely get too upset at long waits at restaurants and poor service. I know that big groups can get the kitchen slower - but I still did have a pretty negative experience given that the night was not busy at all at the restaurant, and that the food to prepare was very simple and didn't seem to need much prep time to make. Although one of our tables in the group sat down first, we got food much, much later that the table that arrived later. It actually took 40 minutes after I sat down to get my appetizer, which was right after the other table already finished their dessert. Several people in the group also got wrong orders. My own order did not get the onion topping that I asked for. Another person in the group waited 1 whole hour and 8 minutes after sitting down until he got his food. It shouldn't take more than an hour to make a sandwich. And he had to go back inside and ask the waiter if they forgot his food (they did forget to start making it until he asked). Onto the food - The food was just OK. It was not bad food, and it probably does go well with the drinks (that we didn't have). The frito pie was inexpensive and had a good taste, but the melted cheese was pretty dry and stringy. The chili dog I got had an odd choice of bun. While the bun was pretty soft, I thought it was too large in comparison to the hot dog. The chili dog chili could have used more kick or spicy flavor too. I didn't hate the food at the Tipping Point though, and the price was inexpensive. Really the main point was the very slow service that the restaurant should work on. read more

The Tipping Point - Please update your hours on Yelp. It's Tuesday at 1:54 PM and Yelp has you as open now. Sadly, you are not. - Bars Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Came here on the recommendation of a colleague while in the area for a business trip. Was able to sit down immediately and looked at the menu. Menu is short and to the point. We ordered an appetizer, four entrees and a round of drinks. Since I chose not drink that night I went with a soda which was brought out in a small plastic cup with a lid and straw. Yes, like a child's drink. It threw me off and was wondering why a soda isn't worthy of a glass cup or even a large plastic cup. Oh well. Servers rotated throughout the night. The best server turned out to be the owner's son. Assumed this because there was a couple there who kept walking behind the bar, pouring themselves a drink and then sitting back down in the tv area with another couple. Interesting observations. Food was good. Hotdogs and a bag of chips. The pretzel bun was good and fresh. The hotdog cooked well and just wish there was a bit more condiments on my hotdog. Next time I'll order a drink worthy of a glass and add a dessert to my order. read more

The concept is awesome! Unfortunately the service is lackluster and the manager is kind of a jerk. Never got the food we ordered and we were charged for it, and when we brought up that our ticket was wrong we were told we were belligerent and cut off... mind you we were only two drinks in and had been there two hours! Would've loved to have more drinks than that... but nothing we ordered ever showed up. Maybe with better management I would recommend this place. Such potential! read more

An unexpected but enjoyable flavor of something different from the traditional southern fried favorites of Alabama. The Tipping Point presents a fresh menu, focusing on quality sandwiches, sides, and beer that are enhanced by a relaxed outdoor atmosphere. I found myself here for one of my first off base dinners, and my group was initially drawn here because of the impressive list of craft beers kept on tap. Tipping Point offers a brew from sea to shinning sea delivering you your Lagunitas to your Jai Alai. I skipped the cold and frosty and instead made a beeline for the food because as good as on base dining facility food is I was ready for a change. The menu was simple; appetizers, salads, sandwiches, etc. The food was also simple. For example, the bacon appetizer was literally a basket of about 6 thick slices of sizzling salty bacon. The cold slaw, "TCF" (tomato, cucumber, feta), and various other sides were delivered in small cups for a not so small price ($2.50+). On the bright side, the sandwiches were fairly priced at around $8 and of good size. A full grown horse might have left hungry, but the Tipping Point does not allow pets so this is not a problem. My personal favorite food item came to me in a skillet. Warm, fresh, gooey, and as soft as the sound of a baby's coo. This was their chocolate chip cookie, about the size of a small clock and topped with a generous scoop of cold vanilla ice cream. A perfect treat to a nice evening. In essence, the Tipping Point gave us a fun night out, which was happily supported by their friendly staff and spacious environment. I would have appreciated either larger portions or smaller prices on several of their items because I feel like their chance to innovate on food creations was mostly left on the table. Either way, this seems to be a solid spot to grab a beer and unwind with close friends. read more

Family friendly, small kitchen limits menu options but they make it work. Love the weekend entertainment and drink specials.

good bar but lots of kids, even late on a friday or saturday. kinda messed up the vibe

Great neighborhood bar as well as a place for all those wishing to stop in for a meal and a drink. Service is always top notch and the owners are usually working to make sure each and every patron is being well taken care of. The smash burgers are amazing and the beers on tap are always varietal and delicious. One of my favorite spots in MGM!! read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. They have lots of outside and inside seating. We sat inside beside the bar. The atmosphere is kind of rustic feeling, I couldn't really get a good read on it but I liked it. They had a large selection of drinks and I decided on the Tequila and the Bee cocktail. It was great, super unique and I would order it again. The honey and tequila worked really well together. We shared the trio of dips as an appetizer with the pimento cheese, spinach and artichoke, and onion dips. All three were great and I would definitely recommend them to everyone. I had the Southern Press panini for my entree. The sandwiches don't come with a side unfortunately. The flavor of the sandwich was great and the melted pimento cheese on it really set it off. The bacon also provided extra deliciousness to the sandwich. Very cool place to eat, drink, and be merry. read more

Has a great selection of craft beers, great atmosphere, and bar top. It's located near an up and coming neighborhood that's clean, quiet and well lit. There is plenty of seating inside and TVs to watch while you sip on your drink. The custom draft beer handles add charm and character to the tap system. The staff is friendly, warm, and welcoming. The bartenders have are very knowledgeable of the many styles of craft beer. I highly recommend this place. read more

The best hot dog I've ever had! This place is off the beaten path and a jewel of a place! The architecture is a bit odd with garage door style walls that open up for more open seating. There's a cool little picnic area to the north side of the building that's great for kids. The food menu here is really small: wraps, sandwiches, hot dogs, sides and desserts pretty much. Their beer menu on the other hand....well....it's like ginormous! I had their Carolina dog and was seriously blown away at how good it is. I mean 1/4 pounds of kosher frank layered on TOP of bbq pork and topped with delicious toppings...how can you go wrong? I had the tomato/cucumber side and that was delicious too. And if that isn't enough, the cookie skillet ala mode was a heckuva lot better than the last pizookie I had at BJ's. All in all, the food is great, albeit a small menu, and the beer is top notch. Top that with a 10% military discount and/or 10% off for yelpers and you have a winning combination! I'll be back! read more

Great hang out spot. Comfortable seating , although when I visited it was super packed. I loved the hummus flatbread and wine, especially with the yelp check in deal. Everything tastes better with a discount! There was live music playing pretty loudly which made it difficult to hear conversation. I was surprised to see so many people with infants still in carriers while all this was happening. read more

Great place to get food or drinks. They let me sample a beer on tap, which I ended up ordering. When the bartender was getting it for me the keg ran out before the glass was full, so he gave me a small glass of a different beer when I was finished. Very nice move. The bartenders were talkative, friendly, and attentive. It was a nice atmosphere. It seems like soccer is their game of choice as it was on most of the tvs. They have a wide variety of beers, only a handful on draft, but it seems that they rotate through them quite often. Overall seems like a cool place to hangout. I would come back to try their food, and more beer of course. read more
