Sandbar Bar & Grille

Stopped there on Friday after spending some time out on the boat. Overall, very pleasant experience. Food was good and the waitress we had, who was pregnant, was outstanding. Some of the better service I’ve received on the Chain in a long time. She really earned the stars in my opinion. The only drawback is that men’s room is a complete mess. Smells awful and you feel like you should get a tetanus shot when you walk out. Plenty of room for docking your boat too.

We’ve been there a couple of times using a
coupon each time. We enjoy being out on the beach and each time we ordered their BBQ ribs and weren’t disappointed. I found the service to be fairly quick and they always seem to have a crowd. Once, we drove and parked. Once, we parked our boat at the slip that they provide. Now that’s it’s warm enough to sit on the beach, we will certainly return.

My friends and family have been coming here for for close to 15 years if not 20. The service hass always been slow but the food is good as are the drinks. Over the years the food prices have gone up, But that’s to be expected. But if I may make a suggestion instead of building that monstrosity of a pole barn how about you put money back in the business and clean it up. Sandbar has the worst smelling and dangerous (men’s bathroom floor) of all the bathrooms on the chain. Saturday I couldn’t even breath in there, I’m afraid to see what the kitchen looks like!!! Eek!!!

Been here quite a few times for drinks and the view so can’t comment on the food. Drinks are reasonable and have been good but I love the location best!

Awesome bartenders! Tried their burgers before we went out ice fishing, and they were good. Nothing to jump out of your seat for, but they weren’t horrible.

This is the best place on the chain. The owners are awesome and friendly, the service is great. This is the kind of place that we turned into regulars at. Very easy boat parking, right next to the channel going to bluff lake. Outdoor area is very open, and spacious. If you like video gambling they have machines. The only other thing I can say is come here and see for yourself. Food is great.

Average bar quality food with a fun atmosphere. Have a lot of boat Peking spots and you can sit out on the water. Tends to get rowdy but that’s what makes it fun. It’s good for kids when there’s sun out. There’s a ton of sand they can play in and it pretty open. They have a good selection of beer and is a nice place to relax.

The food is 5 star all the way! If you don’t mind waiting forever…
Service is as slow as it gets, the place is dirty and somewhat unwelcoming for indoor meals, but if you stick around you will eventually get your food and all will be forgiven!
I’ve eaten here on the go once or twice and had some appetizers outside in the sand. Tonight we came for dinner and we were just dying for our food. I believe it was 45 minutes. I had the fish boil. Menu says 30 minutes for that.
The potatoes with my fish were unbelievable! They were mini potatoes that may have been deep fried? They had good flavor and were crispy on the outside. I need to try this at home! Delicious!
The fish was decent and the veggies did the job. It actually wasn’t enough food for me, but I could just be a pig.
I would come back for dinner over and over again. But maybe outside before dark. They said the bugs get NASTY at dark. The Inside needs work. But damn… those taters!!!

My last time there after going there for over 15 years. Very unfriendly and hostile bartender on May 31, Sunday, around 1:00 Pm. I will be taking my business from here on to any of the many other lakeside bars and restaurants within the area from now on.

This place is located at the end of a gravel driveway on the lake. I went on a Saturday afternoon and really liked it. The atmosphere is of an older bar & grille. They serve beer in pitchers and had a limited distribution Goose Island beer on tap. My party had the fajitas, Italian sandwich and tamales. The food was served hot, the tamales had pulled pork on them, the sandwich was tender, the French fries were made right, and the fajita was sizzling. The food was excellent, the service was great, the prices were very reasonable, and the seats have a lake view.

Pizza was good, waitstaff was terrible, not a very clean place to eat! Bathrooms were something I wouldn’t let my dog go in. If they clean this place up I would recommend it… has a cool atmosphere

Wow if you are a clean person you will hate this place. Everything is dirty. The toilets are a joke. I would rather use a porta potty but then again the smell is the same so hard to tell the difference.
The service was horrific. They forgot ½ of our tables food and we had to go track down someone to tell them after 10 mins. The tables are dirty, the food wasn’t even good. My burger was supposed to be medium but it was burnt. The chicken fingers were all batter and no meat, and the fries tasted stale.
It was also quite possibly the slowest service I’ve ever had
Never again

Loved this place. We were driving back from Lake Geneva to the northern suburbs and wanted to find a fun place for lunch with a view! Thanks to Unilocal,we found ourselves here. They have root beer beer which I love, and we both had tasty sandwiches that were wolfed down. Obviously, this is a really casual place, not a spot for fine dining. It sure hit the spot for us!

Only 1 star because of there menu selection.
Day bartender is the worst slow and orders are usually wrong, nite bartenders not so good also went on a Friday nite and all she wanted to do was hit on guys, owners don’t care one is drunk at the end of the bar and the other is trying to help but she just gets in the way and is slow not coming back till new owners come in

We came here after a bad experience at another Antioch bar/​restaurant. The staff here were great and very attentive. The bloody Mary’s were quite good and the food was fine; nothing fancy but what you expect for a place that caters to the boaters. I will most certainly return.

We passed this place by boat and I thought, «Where is this place?» thinking I’d be able to find it again. Well I never found it until the following year being on a boat again. This time I decided to look at my GPS so I knew exactly where I was. It’s a hidden gem on the chain. We were there on a Thursday night, and it was much quieter than some of the other places on the water. Not a ton of boats or jetskis buzzing around, the launch on premises was fairly quiet. We did get to see a helicopter land and take off again off of the shore of the lake, so that was different and cool.
The service was friendly and attentive. The seating is wooden picnic tables on top of sand on the southeast shore of Lake Marie. The wife is always nervous trying new places and especially trying chicken on a salad. She asked the waitress if she could ask «a weird question.» The waitress told us everything is cooked fresh and sometimes when they are busy, people may even complain because the food isn’t just flung out whether it’s ready or not. They are sure everything comes out fresh, warm and tasty. The chicken taco salad was delicious! She ate every bite, which isn’t typical. I had a burger and it was also mighty tasty. 3 Rounds of drinks, an appetizer and the two meals above for under $ 50. We will definitely be headed back!

Oh Sandbar. You always feed me when I’ve been drinking on the boat too long. Plus, you have more drinks. What a convenient little stop with picnic tables on the beach, so I still don’t have to be sober or inside.

Friendly bartenders. Dive like atmosphere. Restrooms need improvement on the cleanliness factor. Nice selection of beers. Strong pours on the drinks the day we were here.

The waitress was a real dime piece, and the cokes? Well they’re comin’, don’t worry.

This is one of our favorite places in the world! We have been coming here for years and we absolutely love it. Like many of the best chain restaurants it is in a tucked back area to drive to but very easy by boat. They definitely get a lot of boating customers and typically tend to be much busier during the day than at night.
They have a pretty extensive menu and everything we’ve had is excellent. their homemade pizzas are one of our favorites. They even freeze their own pizzas so if you come in when the kitchen is closed you can get one and they are just as good as the fresh ones.
This is a bar, but it’s still great for families during the day. At night it definitely has more of bar atmosphere. They have music all day, either jukebox or live during the day and those or a DJ at night. There is room for dancing and sometimes they have parties there. There are TVs throughout for watching the games. They also have a pool table and steel tip darts.
The location is on a beach and there are plenty of tables in the sand, perfect for summer. You can order food or six packs to go. You can also get gas for your boat.
And it remains open all winter and gets a lot of snowmobile traffic. It’s a awesome place anytime!
