Super cute place! Fun live entertainment. The service was great, very friendly and we always had everything we needed. The food came out so quickly and it was all hot and fresh. Loved the fish tacos, the kids popcorn shrimp, and the grouper sandwich was great. The rice bowl was good, had a great sauce but canned mandarin oranges and dried cranberries made it too sweet. My favorite was the shrimp and crab salad, plenty of both! Great with ranch dressing, not a fan of the vidalia onion dressing. All in all a great time and a great meal!
From the moment we sat down it was disappointing . For being a beach restaurant I was hoping for something so much fresher but it tasted about the quality of a dairy queen. Starting w drinks. I asked if my coconut creme pie could be made frozen our waitress had no idea and came back saying the bartender felt it would leasing the taste of the drink. Not sure how because it tasted just like mixer from a can. Frozen would have made it better . We got the. We ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters and they gave us a dozen . Which was great they didn't charge us, but we still didn't want to finish them . Gritty and not tasty . The grouper sandwich was about a step above a McDonald's fish filet and the fries on my shrimp platter came in a giant greasy lump. I pulled off most of the breading and still found the shrimp to be chewy . Overall, for what I wanted to be a beach town experience was nothing to get excited about. Oh and the service was lousy too and it was a slow afternoon . Twice we asked for water . We had to ask the hostess to get our waitress who was busy rolling silverware . For both drinks and question the order error. Overall, left very dissatisfied for a pretty high food bill . Save your cash and find another spot
I ordered the coconut shrimp and it was the BEST ever! Service was great! They had a musician and I sat outside to listen to him. Wonderful!
Definitely check this place out! It has excellent service, a fun atmosphere, and the food was excellent and worth the price! Our waitress Alana was attentive and patient. She made good recommendations and proved quick service with a friendly smile. The jerk Chicken tacos were delicious! They were medium level spice with good flavor. The candied pineapple on top provided a nice balance to the heat. The chips were homemade and perfectly cooked. The salsa was great as well. The Tuscan seafood pasta was to die for! There was a lot of generous sized pieces of shrimp and scallops mixed in a delicious creamy sauce (though it was very heavy on cracked pepper, which have it a little kick). The drinks were good, but the peach mule had very little peach flavor. Still a good mule. We are already talking about going back this trip as it was the best food we've had so far!
This year I ordered the Cho co shrimp. It was delicious but I didn't realize it was going to be so saucy. The baguette was nice but there was so much sauce and not enough bread to eat it with. Flavor was great. But I would have liked some more bread to sop up that delicious Cajun sauce.
Steak Nacho was fire. Steak was tender. The portion is like an entree. Burgers were fine. Onion ring was a bit doughy. Fish n Chip was very good.
Great time after time. Service was fast and food comes out fast. Everything is a hit on the menu, I always order the deep eddy peach colada because the peach puree is out of this world, this time we got Rockefeller oysters, chicken sandwich and bacon wrapped scallops. We saw so many amazing burgers and nacho plates passing by us. Dog friendly and music on the patio is always great! Do not miss this place
The Shrimp and the blue crab were excellent in the salad. There was no need for dressing. The pieces of blue crab were sizeable-- which was surprising considering blue crab meat is limited since they are so small. The she crab soup was delightful. The night before I tried the she crab soup at Poseidon which was completely different. This one was a cream base which reminded me of New England Clam Chowder. This really hit the spot satiating a seafood craving. The service and server were super friendly and talkative. Our waiter was working real hard in the 90 degree weather in the outdoor seating. All with a smile while sweating profusely. There was a fan blowing nearby to keep us cool. overall, had a positive experience! Would recommend!
Don't let the fact that The Sandbar is not on the water keep you away, because they have figured out a way to make you feel all the beach vibes without a drop of sand. We came here in June on a busy Thursday evening with our two teens. We had to wait 40 minutes, but it was no big deal given that there are shops in the parking lot to wander while you wait. After a little bit we split from the kids. While they were shopping me and hubby grabbed a drink at the bar. They had a band that was really good which helped contribute to the coastal atmosphere. The pretzel with beer cheese was a total hit amongst all of us! I didn't try the quesadilla but my kids said it might be the best they've ever had. That's high praise from those two flour, water and cheese connoisseurs. My kids had burgers (they had seafood the night before and wanted a break). They said they were good. I didn't try it but they were thick patties, cheese was mostly melted and the tomato was thick. Hubby had the Tacos de Pescado and they were delicious! I had a bite and I loved them. They had the perfect crisp. The flavors and the texture of the fish was excellent. I had Grilled Scallop Tacos and they were yummy. The flour tortillas were fried to perfection however, the scallops were a bit over cooked. And I really was not a fan of having the rice in the taco. At a certain point I dumped the taco out and ate it with a fork, but it was delicious. Aside from the scallops, every other individual part was cooked really well. We came here for it's proximity to Sonesta Resort but I'd make a little trip for this place any day. It was an enjoyable time.

I'd probably give it 3.5 stars if I could. We started with what would end up being the highlight of the meal - the She crab soup. Simply delicious. Possibly the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, our main dishes were a bit of a let down from there. My wife got the shrimp tacos. They were functional but nothing special. I had the grouper sandwich. On the positive side, it was a beautiful fillet that looked and tasted fresh. But unfortunately, there was almost no flavor to the dish. Basically salt and fish. Maybe add some garlic powder, or paprika to the batter? It was too bland. That said, the atmosphere was nice, waiter attentive and soup incredible. I'd comeback for the soup and a drink. read more

Service was great but food was not. $18 Grouper sandwich my wife got was frozen, not fresh. The Witch Doctor sandwich I got had shrimp, sausage, peppers and onions. Some of it sat on the grill far too long and was black (not blacked) and burned. Gross. How can you serve it like that? Not to mention the prices shown on the menu are cash only. 4% up charge for credit card. Giving them 3 stars only because I didn't have the time to bring it up to management so we ate our food, paid and left. read more

For a lowkey night out on vacation, this place checks all the boxes. Quick, friendly service makes it easy to get in and out of in a crunch. The soft pretzel and corn dip appetizers are out of this world. They paired perfectly with the fish tacos (chosen based on server rec). I was perfectly content with the size of the tacos as well. Definitely adding this spot to the rotational whenever I'm in the area! read more

So disappointed and embarrassed I recommended our family go here for lunch. They sat our group outside and we had to beg for a fan because we had 2 infants. The first person we asked said we couldn't, and later our server was able to procure one (there were 2 at the host desk and one was blowing literally nowhere, and 2 that were unused at the other end of the patio). I would advise them to get oscillating fans for these hot summers. It was super slow service for having kiddos, they were not offered drinks with their kids meals and we had to ask twice (it's supposed to come with meal). When we asked for the tab it took a while. They did not ask us before they started taking things away from the table and they took my daughter drink and my meal before I was finished. It left her crying (after being overheated and fried stale food) and me pretty frustrated. There was also a cockroach on the floor inside for like 15 minutes which gave me the ick. The shrimp tacos and pineapple salsa were tasty other than the shells were super stale and chewy. The popcorn shrimp were mostly fried breading. So many fried options. I wish there were more grilled options because our kids loved the shrimp that was inside the tacos but that wasn't an option. We never got our waters refilled and everyone left just exhausted and overheated. Overall just not a great experience. read more

We sat outside and had a lovely time. The location is great. Located right by all of the shopping so a great place to go after doing some shopping! Our waitress was super sweet and the service was speedy. The sweet potato tots were very good. You couldn't even tell it was made of sweet potato. The piece of grouper on the sandwich was huge and delicious. I wasn't impressed with the crab soup. The superfood salad was tasty and the shrimp cocktail was fresh. read more

This was our second visit in two years, and overall, we had another great experience! The food was delicious, the prices are very fair for a vacation spot, and my kids absolutely loved it. The only downside was a 30-minute wait just to have our order taken, despite the restaurant not being busy. However, once we brought it to the staff's attention, our server was extremely apologetic and took fantastic care of us for the rest of the meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

A day trip to HHI to enjoy the sand and sounds had us craving a little something before we headed home! I had the coconut shrimp and my daughter had shrimp tacos! We split the Mexican street corn appetizer and it was also very delish!! Service was fast and friendly!! We chose to sit outside as I still had my swim dress on! But they do offer indoor and outdoor seating! Will definitely swing by next time we're in town! Oh and since I was driving home, we didn't get any drinks but the drink menu looked great too!!! read more
Visited, The Sandbar Beach Eats later in the evening, and I might have come too late because the place was pretty dead. The atmosphere didn't leave much of an impression, and the dim lighting made it feel a little too dark for my liking. It was even hard to find the spot initially. I ordered the fried grouper sandwich, which was fine--not bad, but nothing to write home about. The server was okay but not particularly attentive, which might have been due to how quiet it was. Overall, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again. Maybe it's better earlier in the day when there's more energy, but as it stands, I'd give it 3 stars. It has potential but didn't quite deliver this time. read more

This place was SUPER packed. We managed to get a spot at the bar while the wait was at 45-60 minutes. The food was epic. I got a shrimp "cocktail " it was amazing. The crusted grouper was really really good. There was a slight mishap which was inconsequential. But the manager came out and made it right. I'll definitely be back read more
We ordered the Dirty Bird chicken sandwich, loaded hush puppies, jerk chicken plate, grilled cod, single fish n chips, and pulled pork sandwich. Our party loved their food. We liked that you can forgo the fries for things like plantains, rice, grilled Veggies. The single piece of battered fish was huge. Overall these are good size portions. The hush puppies are delicious and creative with sautéed onion, beef cheese and sour cream over them. Good flavors. Other than a mix up on what the waiter heard me order we got the food timely and were seated quickly. The dirty bird chicken sandwich was great! Lightly breaded with Swiss and fresh toppings, and Bacon... yum. Unfortunately we couldn't have oysters because the came in this morning and determined to be bad... dang it. read more
After hours of traveling, we stopped by a beach bar and restaurant just a few minutes from our hotel before checking in. I was craving a cold beer and ordered the nachos, which mentioned corn, guacamole, and sour cream. But when the plate arrived, it was practically drowning in corn, giving it an overwhelming flavor that just didn't hit the mark. I've unofficially named them 'The Corny Nachos.' The place itself had a typical beach restaurant vibe, but nothing about it particularly stood out. I must've looked a bit worn from travel, but the ambiance didn't offer much of a lift either. Staff were okay, though I noticed them getting wrapped up in their own conversations nearby, and some exchanges even had a bit of drama that really didn't belong in earshot. Overall, I'm not eager to return. read more

Any karaoke 😊?
I do not believe so- there was a band playing when I was there, so it's possible, but I did not see the equipment.
Do they have a parking lot or dedicated parking?
The Sandbar is located in Coligny Plaza which has over 60 shops so there are parking spaces that are right next to the entrance to The Sandbar but getting a spot will just depend on what time of day and time of year. There is also parking across the…
