A must try! We stumbled upon this place after running the Noland Trail and I'm so glad we did. We ordered the Shrimp Poboy and the Crabcake Poboy. Oh man were they delicious! The potato salad was delicious as well. Prices were great and even in the middle of lunch rush the service was excellent. We will absolutely be back. Food was worth fighting the tunnel traffic for!! The owner came out and greeted us which was awesome. Go, the food does not disappoint.
While we were there, the staff was short handed but provided great service. The food was great and hot and didn't take long. We will go back again!
I loved my experience. The area is clean paird with a friendly and attentive staff.The food there blew my mind. The freshest bread and most savory cheeses stake I've had in a while. Hands down this place is worth while visiting.
This is a great little place with a huge punch. The menu offers a wide variety of comfort foods. Not much of a looker but dont let that fool you. The fish and chips are excellently done with a light, yet hearty batter and a mountain of hand cut fries. The crab patty po boy is the size of a 1/2 pound burger. Tender, juicy and flavorful. The chicken salad is a mountain of fresh salad mix that is big enough for two. All for more than reasonable pricing. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. This was a pleasant surprise to say the least. I look forward to a return trip.
A very come as you are bar. Great place to watch ALL the games on football Sunday/Monday. They have a cool munchie menu with something for everyone and very decent prices! I love this bar!
It's a great long standing local bar. Great food, strong drinks, quick & friendly service. Live music & karaoke, darts, smoking inside.
Mom and I visited Midtown Eats today. It had been a while since we had eaten there, and we thought we would give it a try again. Mom got the chicken salad on rye with cole slaw. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. I got a brisket philly and onion rings to go. The burger was great, as I had remembered they were. The fries were okay, but I'll get the onion rings next time. They were lightly battered and fried to perfection. They were actually hand breaded onion rings, which I love ❤️. The interior was simple, and was very clean. Mom and I will visit again soon. We got there at 11, when they opened, so it wasn't busy. Two gentlemen came in when we were leaving, so it wasn't too busy. The food came out quickly. It would be worth a try!
Boneless Buffalo Wild Wings were very good. And the service was very quick! There is a bunch of different games you can play at the bar. Its menu has lots to offer as well.
The service at Sandbar is amazing, and it’s such a fun place to grab drinks and have a great night out. It has that perfect neighborhood vibe where everyone feels welcome, even if it’s your first time there. I’d definitely recommend Sandbar to anyone looking for good drinks and a good time.
My boyfriend took me to his favorite water hole for the first time tonight. Our bartender Mike was awesome dude. Very attentive, has a great personality and runs the bar like a boss! We ordered a À Surry Burger with a side of loaded tots. OMG 🤤 Hands down the best burger. The atmosphere was really layed back and chill. No crazy trying to start trouble. I will absolutely come back next time I'm in town. Sandbar is for sure the place to be! Thank you for making such a great first impression.
