The Sandbar Grille

We stopped in on a Sunday nite for fried shrimp plates. Tried to order the shrimp kisses appetizer but they didn't have any. So only the shrimp dinner, 8 shrimps and Texas fries. Shrimp were a little over cooked but there were more fries than you can/should eat. Two cold miller lites topped off dinner and we were out of there. Not as good as the last time we were here in early August. Finally our server, Deago, was incognito and we had to constantly flag him down to get things we wanted.

Great Bloody Mary's! Love all the seating options. Great for a sun filled day or a rainy day. Service is fabulous. Pull your boat up to the restaurant and walk right in! Dog friendly.

Great place on the west end of Galveston Island. We ordered the tuna poke and it was delicious! It was made with fresh yellowfin tuna, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado onion, and some type of dressing? Nothing like menu read but it was really good. They have a great brunch menu too! We will be back soon!

This place has really good food! My daughter and I came here a couple of days ago. She ordered the coconut shrimp and I had the fish and chips. I've been on a strict diet and I was worried about eating fried food. Both of our dishes were SO good! The dish did not taste greasy and the fish tasted so fresh! This fried dish did not upset me stomach, the way so many others do! Tonight, my husband and I dined there. He had the red snapper and I had the coconut shrimp (I couldn't resist, after tasting my daughter's dish). We were not disappointed!My husband gave me some of his red snapper and it was delicious! The mashed potatoes looked plain but they had so much flavor! The accompanying zucchini was cooked to perfection and seasoned well! My husband tasted the coconut shrimp and said it's the best he's ever had!Our waitress, Hannah, was very friendly and very attentive. The other waiter, who was working a large table checked on us a couple times, as well. I love restaurants where the servers work together to provide excellent service! The day was hot but there were plenty of fans in the covered patio to keep us cool. Hannah kept our wine iced down, so it was nice and refreshing every time she topped off our glasses . We had a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that went great with our meal. We're from Houston and I am an avid cook and I'm very picky. This place met all of my standards! I will definitely be back and would highly recommend it to others.

Food was ok, atmosphere was nice. Server was friendly. I would return but I would definitely order something else. My shrimp that I got on my salad were rubbery. Previously frozen I think. Wife said her fish tacos were pretty good. The bacon on my salad was crisp and perfectly cooked. Menu promised crab on my salad. I never found it in my salad though. Disappointing.

We were in town for some weekend work and decided to check this place out to eat as it was fairly close to where we were working. Pleasantly surprised. Overall everything was pretty good. Hannah gave us good service, the food was good. Aaron, the manager ended up coming over and telling us that they will soon have game nights and karaoke so if that is of interest to you, it seems like it would be a fun atmosphere along with the good food. Price point matched the food considering it was a seafood place.

Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area! My girlfriend's and I were on a long weekend trip and had never been to Galveston before. We found this place via Yelp and I am so grateful for the ease of discovering such a fun and yummy restaurant! We ended up coming back for dinner the next night after enjoying our Sunday brunch so much. If it's warm enough I highly recommend sitting outside on the deck that overlooks the marina and water. Great boat watching and place to get drinks, food and chill with company. Our service was great, drinks and food were good. For lunch I had a bloody Mary (amazing) and breakfast tacos (good). For dinner I had the West End Mule cocktail (amazing), fried pickles appetizer (soooo yummy) and the BBQ shrimp for meal and it was delicious I ate the entire thing. Also recommend the salads, cheeseburger, fries, ceviche and shrimp apps! Would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again!

We were seated quickly but it took about 40 min for our drink order to be taken. We did not receive water during that time, and water was only given to those who requested it when ordering drinks. The cocktails tasted very weak, to the point or questioning whether there was alcohol in them or not. The menus were filthy. Crumbs, different colored liquids on them, etc. The restaurant does not have a free appetizer option like breadsticks or chips and salsa, which is fine when you receive fast service. We ordered some chips and queso with our drinks. We were there for two hours before we got our food. The wings were *seriously* over cooked on one order (not pictured) but cold on the other. On one order we paid nearly $30 for about 8 mediocre shrimp and a scoop of mashed potatoes. The coconut shrimp was very spicy, without warning. The jumbo shrimp and gumbo were underwhelming. I would not go back. This place is in over its head. Too many tables for the kitchen to manage. The prices weren't worth what we received or the amount of time to get any service. Our waiter was Oscar and he was great, but you could tell he was stretched too thin. Same with the manager we talked to, who I think was named Rachel. They took care of is when we requested help but had we not, we'd have paid their prices for low quality drinks and food with long wait times.

It's been busier and we've had great service in the past, but that was the past. We came in for brunch today and were left sitting at a table for 15min without any service. No drink order, no food, just the view of other tables enjoying their food. Word of advice, don't go if you're hungry

Overpriced, fried food all tasted like fish, burger dry. Service ok, nice decor. Overall not worth money, tourist trap
