The Sandbar is easy to miss if you're driving by. But, stop in and stay a while. You'll be glad you did. It wasn't busy, but it was still nice to get our order taken quickly after we sat down. The beer prices are reasonable, particularly on tap. But, my wife's Moscow Mule seemed a bit weak, and it cost more than the beer. The food arrived quickly, too, and everything was hot off the grill. My wife and I both got the salmon sliders. Each sandwich has a generous chunk of perfectly cooked salmon. I ordered the tater tots, which were amazingly crispy and flavorful. My wife got the same thing, with french fries. The fries are good, but I like the tots better. My daughter's mac & cheese was super cheesy and buttery, and just needed a little salt to make it perfect. My son got a burger with a fried egg on it, and he said it was nice and beefy. Prices were reasonable, too. And, there are big screen TVs wherever you look. I can see this becoming a regular stop for good food and drinks. read more

The flies are terrible and I got food poisoning from this bar. 0/10 - do NOT recommend

This place sucks; we left before we even ordered, music too loud, service too slow. It was 9pm, and we had a long drive home, so we wanted to grab something to eat near the boat launch before we hit the highway. We sat down, the music was so loud you couldn't even have a conversation, couldn't hear the waitress, we waited a long time for her to return to our table, we asked her if they could turn down the music and were told "Well I can ask, but the people at the bar want it loud.", We got up and left. Plus, the menu was full of tree nut allergens and there was not one label. read more

um yeah idk this was a weird experience, i had bad service and the food was terrible ...

A cute little spot in SCS, and whole it doesn't carry the Johnny Black name officially, you can definitely see the JB influence. Nice selection of beer and the cocktails look to be on point. Ordered the chicken wings and they were good. The sauce especially. I don't know that I'd go out of my way to eat here, but I wouldn't be against coming back. read more

Friendly service. Seemed to have every big 10 football game on. Good surf & turf tacos. read more

July 2025, I ordered the Cajun Alfredo. The noodles were overcooked, mushy and weren't drained. The sauce was a flavorless watery puddle. Aug 1st 2025, we gave it another chance(not my idea) My husband's hamburger /roast beef sandwich was missing the au jus that was the dipping sauce. My son's sliders were ordered with no lettuce, but had lettuce. My husband's tator tots tasted like the salt shaker top fell off. I ordered a Caesar Salad and their Onion Soup. What could go wrong? I still hadn't gotten my soup after my family finished their meal. Told the waitress to cancel the soup.I went home hungry and pissed that I could have had a better experience staying home. Oh, and there were only 8 other patrons . The chief/cook couldn't have been overwhelmed read more

Came here on a Friday night around 6:30. The inside was packed but the outdoor patio had some open seating. The outdoor patio had fake flowers for ambiance, but still a ton of bees (many in which came to my table a few times). Ordered to start were the frickles and brussel sprout salad. The frickles were a perfect fried food and the sandbar sauce was great. Not sure what it is made of but I loved it. The brussel sprout salad was divine and easily can serve 2-4 people. For entrees, we're the chicken Caesar wrap and Buffalo chicken sandwich. The sandwich was delishhhhh. So juicy and perfectly breaded. Would get again. Our server was nice, but inattentive. Never checked on the food or refills. I'd come back but would sit inside due to the insane amount of bees and flies outside swarming on and around my food. read more

Went to eat here with two friends mind you we come to this bar at least twice a week. Had our service dog with us was told he wasn't aloud in the bar so we sat on the patio. Than was told by our server we were drunk so she couldn't bring us more than one drink mind you the girl I was with hadn't drank anything yet that day..... gave her a margarita with no liquor in it. Was sent back and remade the right way. The whole experience was very rude. Will stick to our day shift people who actually treat us right and don't assume we are anything. read more

Overall a great experience. It was very clean and staff super friendly. I will definitely come back to try more things on the menu. read more

I was hear a little while back but wanted to share!!! Amanda is the main reason we go back. She knew how picky was with my weird drink orders and asking for green olives on the side of my Margareta... She is an incredible bartender server suggested the fish tacos. Amazing! Fresh!!!! crisp cabbage, pepppers and tomatoes yes please Not too mention all there other food... The food is extremely above average compared to your local bar!!! One thing I wanted to mention is when we were here they were pretty "clicky" when it comes to the regulars ...but nothing that would make me wanna take a star away! All bars do this! Oh and i cant forget the brunch on Saturday and Sunday!!! Last, you can tell a huge change with the new manager!!!! read more

The food was delicious and the server was super sweet! I enjoyed the atmosphere sitting on the patio. This was my first time eating here and we will definitely be back to try more options on the menu! read more

Very good and diverse menu. Both the food and the service were very good. It was not too noisy so it made it nice to be with friends.

It's always hit or miss at The Sandbar, with service and food. The music is always very loud too, yet it is a bar so I understand. My last experience at the Sandbar was for my boyfriends birthday and we were the only people in the restaurant, the bartender went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and made our experience an overall great time. I wish I knew her name because she deserves 5/5! UPDATE: We went back on 8/11 for my sister-in-laws 21st birthday and our waitress treated us so well. She has our shots ready at midnight and had our food out quickly, for how late it was! read more

It's a bar...like many others nothing really stands out about the place. Went in to grab a bite I had the sliders and fries my wife had fish tacos. It was prepared decently. Nothing pretentious just some basic bar food. Service was prompt and adequate overall we may drop back in again at some point. Probably wouldn't go out of our way to do so, but if we're in the area and looking for a spot..maybe. read more

I came into Sandbar tonight to see a couple of Friends. My bartenders tonight were Maria and Megan. Both bartenders smiles were very warm and inviting. Megan asked about me and how my day was going and it genuinely made me feel great. Maria's flare and drink presentation was second to none! Sandbar is definitely a hidden gem and I will whole heartily be back!!! read more

Food was delicious! Love the frickles. Our server was very nice and tentative. Definitely will be back again!

Came here after a day out on Lake St. Clair for dinner. Excellent service and food. The buffalo shrimp apptizer was delicious. I also had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was excellent. Apparently I was really in the mood for buffalo sauce that night. Everyone in our party left satisfied. Looks like it would also be a fun place to hand out in the evening. I've also heard good things about the burgers. read more

The food here is amazing! This was our first time eating here and we are shocked. We didn't expect the food at a bar restaurant to be so good. My wife had the CBLT Sliders. My daughter had the Drunken Fish Tacos. I had one of the specials (Chicken Picata). All three of our dishes were amazingly good. My Chicken Picata was literally the best that I've ever had. Now we're waiting on desert. Very, very happy with this place! read more

On a Saturday night, my wife and I visited this bar for drinks and some snacks. Really nice bar, lots of televisions with sports. Very clean and professional looking. The only problem? We sat for a half-hour at a table waiting...no one came to wait on us. The wait staff was laser-focused on helping the regulars. We walked out the door. No one tried to stop us or ask why we were leaving. We live in the neighborhood and there are other bars. Too bad because I'm never going back. I don't see how they could do business like this. read more

Nice lunch place. Always has a steady crowd. Casual bar and grill. Full bar. Prices are more than fair. I recommend visiting. I am a repeat customer for a casual day - happy hour and eats. Friendly atmosphere. read more

Sooooo drinks were good but HIGHLY disappointed that the hours say open till 2am but after driving OUT of our way and arriving and there being a pretty decent crowd, we were told they were closing at 1. And still people are showing up! How does a bar turn away money and customers following their LISTED hours. ANNOYING!!! And such a terrible experience read more

If you are not a regular don't expect good service. She forgot to put in part of my order, did not bring me any silverware.... Refill lol forget about it but they will run up and hug every regular the second they step in the door. Average food below average service read more

Had a great meal at this local little gem. I was there on a Wednesday night about 7, so no loud band or music. Sat down right away and was greeted and got drinks immediately. Very good and friendly service. Had the chips, guacamole, and salsa starter. Good guacamole and fresh, warm chips. I had the chicken fajita wrap and my friend had the buffalo fried chicken sandwich. Both were very good...well made, hot and fresh. They seem to have a really good selection of beers...I don't drink beer, but I know enough to judge the selection. We only had water. It was cold and refilled often. read more

Nice local bar with decent food. I like the setup inside the bar its comfortable and it's close to home.

This place was packed! It was a younger crowd in their 20s-30s. My friend and I had ordered Pomegranate Martini's since they were on special and it's our favorite drink. They were absolutely disgusting. My friend asked if we could get something else instead, since they were so gross. We ordered Nachos too. Those were disgusting as well. They had cold canned cheese on the top... The waitress asked us what we wanted to drink instead of the pomegranate martinis and we said 'cranberry & vodka'. She said she wouldn't charge us extra because the cranberry & vodkas were $7 a piece. $7 for a cranberry & vodka?? I asked on the way out how much they were and the bartender said $4. Lies.... read more

I live in Harrison Twp I have frequented this bar often over the last 5 yrs, I'm officially DONE!! Will not be back, the food is amazing for a bar and I think that's the only reason I came back over the years. Years back the bartender/manager Christine (still a shock she's allowed to manage!) Gave my boyfriend & I terrible service, nobody was in the bar it was noon on a Tuesday. I told the owner about the incident, he obviously could care less about the quality of service. I kinda wrote them off back then and starting coming back again. Needless to say I bring a ton of people up there, spend a ton of money and this same terrible B**** of a bartender treats me like shit 30% tips and all!! Tried to hand Christine an olive branch last night & what does she do... yells at me!! Tells me she was super busy the day I complained about her!! DONE!!!!!! Bad on the owner for keeping people like her working for him!! I think if you don't have a dick service will always suck for you here - good luck ladys:) read more

If you're looking for amazing fish tacos, I recommend this place! I have been on a personal quest to try every fish taco in the tri-county area, and these did not disappoint. The Sandbar has about 3 different versions of fish tacos, my personal favorite is the Famous Fish Taco with grilled fish. They also serve this dish with fried fish as well which is good too! The Baja Perch Tacos are delicious as well! read more

I tried to think is the Sandbar 5 star worthy, and couldn't see a reason as not to be 5 star. Expecting the usual "bar burger" good but not great I was shocked as to how much I enjoyed this burger. I ordered The Farmer burger which has cheese bacon and a fried egg. MMMMM the burger was spot on perfectly medium rare and the egg done over easy was bursting with yolk, no hard edges to the egg which is easy to do. My dining companion had the Sandbar burger which was just as good w/ let,tom,bacon, cheese and jalapenos. We had ordered the spinach artichoke dip as a app which was served nice and warm with very tasty tortilla chips which seemed housemade. Service was very friendly and prompt with some nice beer specials. So if your on the far eastside by Metro Park stop by. read more

Always wanted to stop in for the food and drinks, and very sorry we did.. The music was so loud i couldn't hear my husband across the table from me. He ordered the sandbar burger. His burger was so dry, he couldnt eat even eat a quarter of it. I ordered the grilled baja fish tacos. My tacos were so greasy, i couldnt even get through one.. We definitely are not ones to complain but it was very bad. Then it got even better when i told our waitress about it. All she had to say was "sorry dont know what to tell you, im not the cook and i eat the grilled fish tacos" wow ok. Didnt offer to remake anything or even make it right.. Then caught an attitude like we where the problem. Never again. Bad food, bad service. read more

Just moved to the area and wanted to try this place out for carry out. I'm not overly cautious or sensitive about Covid 19, however, no rules were being enforced. I had to go up to the crowded bar to pick up my food where nobody, including the bartender, were wearing masks. None of the waitresses or customers were wearing masks. I understand you don't have to wear them at your table, but people were walking all around without them. It made me very uncomfortable to be in the restaurant at all. I did see some of the kitchen staff with masks on. I will not be back until the pandemic is over. read more
