Sandbar Jax Bch

The Sandbar is a hidden gem. I normally go for drinks and the view. Sitting outside with a drink and people watching is the best. But this time I enjoyed dinner with friends. It's an open air restaurant located in the Springhill Suites hotel. To get to the restaurant you have to go through the hotel to the second floor. You cannot access from the boardwalk unless you are a guest staying there. Your view includes the Jax. Beach Pier, the boardwalk and of course the ocean! Wednesday is 1/2 bottles of wine, $10 flatbreads and several other specials from 5pm - 10pm. Started off with the pineapple salsa and chips. The pineapple salsa is fresh and delicious. The portion size could be a little larger. Our entrées included the Smash Burger, Jerk Chicken Rice Bowl, side Caesar salad, and french fries with ranch. Everything was tasty with really great ranch dressing! The prices are reasonable with a laid back vibe. The servers were great. I look forward to next time!

I really wanted to love this place. It was a bit out of the way for where I was, but I ventured out to meet some fam and a friend for lunch. This restaurant is inside the springhill suites hotel. It's absolutely beautiful. Beachside with high floor to ceiling windows. The view is absolutely breathtaking and there's seating right outside the restaurant for people watching and snacks in between surfing and time on the beach. The staff here is attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The drinks here are quite stiff and pack a good flavor punch. There are a lot of options for beer and wine, but the cocktails are really good. My table ordered the flatbread, a salad, the wings, kids chicken tenders and fries, Cajun shrimp pasta, the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and multiple cocktails and soft drinks. For the most part everyone enjoyed their food and the experience. The only gripe I had was the sauce for the Cajun shrimp pasta. It was mostly oil. The blackened shrimp were cooked perfectly. So tender and not overcooked, flavor was perfect and there was at least 6-7 of them for the whole dish. The sauce had very little flavor and the amount of oil the pasta was swimming in, was a tad bit off putting. Pasta was a little overcooked, but still had great texture. The flatbread was so bomb. The table next to us ordered crab cakes, which looked and smelled amazing. I'll for sure be back and that's exactly what I'll order. We got out under $230 and had leftovers. 9 out of 10 recommend.

Views were amazing, cute little hide away spot located inside the spring hill suites on Jax beach . Literally overlooks the beach, surfers were out Balcony seating is tight, and you must order inside, there is no service on the balcony. Drinks were okay fairly strong Decided not to order food but the flatbread pizza looked greatMight try again for full experience

The view and the vibe were the absolute best part! Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Jacksonville pier, the views are beautiful! Service was pretty quick for a Saturday afternoon! We chose this place because we were staying in the hotel. We ordered the chips and salsa and it was okay. The chips were a little stale, but the salsa was pretty good. All of us thought our sandwiches were just okay. I ordered the smash burger and it was very dry. There was not enough sauce to make it juicy. The Surfer chicken was not very flavorful, and was missing that "jerk" taste. The Southwest Chicken sandwich was a little chewy and just eh flavor. The sweet potato fries, however, were the hit of the table!! My friends tried them and said they were much better than the regular fries.

Went here for brunch. It is located on the 2nd floor of the Springhill Suites on Jax Beach at the pier. There is outdoor seating that is bar service as well as indoor seating. The views are good as it is on the beach. The brunch dishes come with 2 complimentary bloody Mary's or mimosas which is a great deal. The Bloody Mary was well made and spicy. I had the chicken and waffles which comes with hot honey. My wife had the breakfast tacos and we shared some biscuits and gravy. The chicken was hot and delicious. The waffles were good but after the hot honey soaked into them it overpowered the taste of the waffle. The tacos were good and filled with ingredients. The house made fries were crispy and cooked nice. The gravy was really good but unfortunately had cooled off and was only lukewarm. The brunch was a good value for the food. I definitely recommend giving them a try, especially with the views and during the warmer months.

Beautiful view but they were understaffed and we wait for 30 minutes without anyone coming over. Another table who arrived after us received drinks prior to us even being greeted so we just left and went to get lunch elsewhere. There were minimal vegetarian options on the menu.

My wife found this spot on Eventbrite, she was a guest of the event. I was a guest at the Bar. I ordered the smash burger and got some drinks. The drinks were incredible. The service was on point, they were very attentive. The ambiance was beautiful, it's right on the beach, you can see the waves and hear the water. Very romantical! Lol 5 stars, we will come back again for a date night.

Very nice view, location and vibes but that was way too much oil on that pasta.They did take it back but shows the quality of work put into service.2 or more people seen the same thing I saw and still brought it to me

I haven't been in a while. My girl friends and I were looking for Martinis and an ocean vibe.We found Martinis but the weather was uncooperative so we were pushed inside and no ocean vibe.The bar was pretty vacant but as people did arrive the noise level became almost deafening. Lots of echoing!First on the scene I was greeted by our jovial server Joey. He was new but so entertaining and gracious.The girls arrived and we had several cocktails and some snacks. I really do like this place and the scenery is amazing. Hopefully they will offer a happy hour. Keep up the good work Joey you are gonna be just fine. See ya soon Sandbar!

I've been looking for a place to bring out-of-towners where we can enjoy an ocean view while we get a meal and drinks. This restaurant and bar on the second floor of Springhill Suites fits the bill perfectly. There are tables and a long row of chairs facing the ocean and the Jacksonville Beach pier. The food is also interesting and delicious. An appetizer of Brussels sprouts -- something I've never liked anywhere else -- has a nice Asian glaze and sits on thin noodles. My whole table enjoyed it. My chicken tacos as an entree were solid beach grub and my companions like their burgers. Even locals might not know this place is here. They should seek it out.
