The Point on Lake Worth ’s restaurant home has stayed hidden above the south shore of Lake Worth for more than 65 years.
Some patrons have probably spent nearly that long looking for it.
One of Fort Worth’s best-kept secrets is a little hole-in-the-wall cafe and bar with a dock on the south shore of Lake Worth.
Thanks to the modern miracle of smartphone maps, it no longer takes detailed research to find 1349 Bomber Road, 2 miles inside Loop 820 or 1 mile north of Silver Creek Road behind Lockheed Martin in west Fort Worth.
The Point is best known these days as a live music club at night, but it also serves inexpensive burgers, chicken tenders, catfish and a $9.99 weekday lunch special.
The catfish hasn’t changed much in the restaurant’s 25 years as The Point, after it opened as Jobi’s El Campo Resort.
Thank goodness, neither has the price: $11.99 for a platter with two fillets and two sides, up to $17.99 for five fillets.
At lunch one recent day, the fillets were smooth and silky, not grainy. The batter was mild and had an appealing crunch.
