I asked for something they didn’t have it. The burger is burnt. The ribs are hard to chew. The food is not hot. If I would, I would give it a 0 star. Do not waste your money coming here it is not good.

Seen a roach right beside me and had a heart attack, band was great but I would rather go somewhere else for entertainment and a good time but if you like roaches be my guest and go ahead and dine in. By the way this was in 2022 I don’t know how they have improved but the band was an amazing time just be aware of the infestation.Parking: None

Best find in a long time. We eat here for lunch every time we are in PCB. Oysters are great and the ribs are even better. Who knew you could be good at both seafood and bbq?!Update: We're convinced these are the best oysters on the beach. We stopped in twice on our latest vacation at PCB.

This is the first restaurant that I truly hated. It took 75 minutes for our food to arrive. They were busy but folk coming in after us were served, ate and left before our food arrived. All four of us hated our meals.This place should have been named Dusty’s if that name wasn’t already taken. Disgusting

Waited on our food for an hour and a half!! Food was very mediocre. The place is filthy. The banners and the vents are covered in probably a decade of dust. They need to take one day and clean!!

We have tried to give Sandbar the benefit of the doubt but tonight was the last straw. Staff is incompetent and rude. In fact, the waitress came up to get our drink order but stopped us before we could speak bc another patron asked for ketchup. She walked away and never came back. We walked out after waiting over an hour to be sat in a half empty restaurant. We won’t be returning.

Service was an issue 1 hour wait for burnt wings.. this place is not even busy and you will have 2 hour wait periods. Definitely would not recommend.

Do not go here unless you want to have the worst service of your life. We waited 30 minutes for a server and finally just got up and left. Very disrespectful staff, they do not care at all. If I could give zero stars I would.

Fabulous, fresh raw oysters and peel and eat shrimp. Fun, friendly environment. Fried shrimp platter is excellent. Great place to watch a game.

Came here to grab some dinner with friends a few nights ago. Our waiter was amazing, even to the point I wanted to get his cashapp to tip instead of them splitting it. I got the shrimp tacos and they came out COLD. I feel like I could have made better tacos in my air fryer at home. My buddy ordered sea scallops for around $20 and when his plate came out, we had a round of laughter around our table. I am not sure how this dish is served at other places, but he got like 5 pieces of meat on his dish. He ended up ordering a basket of fries since that obviously would not fill him up. The live music was great and ended up talking to the guitar player about his telecaster and he was super friendly! If you want to have a good time, go here! If you want good food, I would recommend somewhere else…Kid-friendliness: Only thing I can specify that was “kid-friendly” is that the woman singing asked us to raise our glass and/or a finger, and she made sure we used our pinky which I thought catered to a younger audience.

Terrible. After waiting an hour to be seated.It took another hour to get our food. Food was less than subpar- especially the calamari. It tasted as though it may have been made from a freezer bag. After seeing other reviews we’d hoped for a great experience. Unfortunately that was not the case. I’m sure part of the problem is they are very obviously understaffed. We definitely won’t be coming back.

So sad……we used to love the sand bar. We left our food and went to a burger joint. My wife’s crab legs tasted like they were cooked in dirty dish water and my grouper sandwich was mushy and fishy.
