Just what you want when you're in Florida. THis restuarant has been around for a long time and its always consistent, with good service and a an amazing location right on the beach. Very casual, with good drinks, and get the blackened grouper sandwhich. wait 30 minutes then go swim 10 steps in front of your table.

My husband and I were here once last year and we liked it very much. It is a long drive from Tampa but it is well worth it! When we came back this time, it looked so different. It has been renovated and it was a lot more spacious. As usual, they were busy. We sat at the bar while... More

Have enjoyed both times I've eaten here on two different trips. Food is excellent, view and setting are the best and wait staff was good.

This is one of our "must stops" everytime we visit Florida! The food is good and the outside seating beachside provides a pleasant atmosphere and view.

I wanted to review the Sandbar again, as they have remodeled since our last visit. In our past visits we have always chosen to sit outside, as the indoor seating was smoky and dark. However, the inside renovation is clean, bright and modern, with floor to ceiling window views-no reason to sit outside when the inside is so pleasant! The... More

What can I say except we sat at a table in the sand, watched the sunset and dined on fresh-caught shrimp, fresh Gulf snapper and fresh grouper. Jessica was a fabulous waitress who really listened to us, let us take our time, and came through with wonderful suggestions. This is a very good restaurant which knows how to handle large... More

There is nothing better than eating with your toes wiggling in the whitest of white sand! Amazing prawns and scallops in mushroomy sauce. SUPERB homemade malty bread. Inexpensive. Highly recommend!
