SandBar

We visited Sandbar while staying at the Gaylord Palms. The staff was incredibly fast and efficient. What I appreciated most was that the bartenders were careful to acknowledge the servers at the pool and wanted them to be able to be able to make tips as well- this shows great teamwork and care for each other, which in turn, made sure we were taken care of. We had margaritas poolside, and also ordered a pretzel and chips with salsa/guacamole. The food was ready in under 10 minutes and was terrific- perfect for a Florida pool day. The videos at the bar were fun, energetic, and friendly, and I forgot that I was in a resort and not at the beach for a bit. Those same vibes carried over poolside- making for a great experience!

Overpriced, terrible food and drinks. The salsa is not edible or identifiable as food. We spent $46 on this and a beer and a white claw. Although Gaylord palms is beautiful, the food choices are limited and overpriced. Ambiance today was lacking (it's raining) service was friendly but can't get beyond the lack of value and quality for the money.

First of all, Orlando Florida is very limited in its food options. You would think this tourist destination would be flooded with food, but I can tell you from coming here over a dozen times the food and central Florida if you're from Southern California is lacking. We stayed at the Gaylord resort and hung out at the waterpark and pool with the kids a lot along with the Disney parks. The first day we were starving so my daughter ordered chips, salsa, and guacamole, along with some hummus. We were pleasantly surprised on how clean everything was. On last day my daughter ordered the chicken quesadilla and said it was one of the better ones she's ever had! Either way when you stay at the Gaylord, head to the pool and order lunch, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.

Probably the best pool size food I've had in years. We got a quesadilla and shrimp skewers and a few cocktails. My son had the kids tenders. Our bill was well over 100 bucks. I'd definitely be back but be prepared for 20 dollars Moscow mules.

Pool adjacent bar. Totally adequate. Not sure if they have servers running to poolside or not because every single time we went to the pools, they closed because of rain/weather. So, Sandbar is a great refuge for waiting out the daily pop-up storms.We tried a watermelon-cucumber-vodka drink. We watch the bartender make them and let me tell you, they were some mighty strong drinks. Don't know how many oz. of Tito's but it tasted like a LOT!

The food here is ok. Nothing special, just ok. We are at the Gaylord for a conference and my husband needed to have a quick lunch and get back to the floor so we decided to eat here because the sports bar had a 45 minute wait for tables.Fun fact, they charge you when you order, not after you've eaten. I thought that was strange. I doubt there are a lot of dine and dashes here. My hubs got a cheeseburger and I got the turkey wrap. It took quite some time for our food to arrive even though we were a little later than the lunch rush. Again, I stress that the food was just ok. Fries came out just warm, not hot. Server was nice.

Love coming to the Gaylord. We come 2-4 times a year usually in the Spring, Summer and then in November for Ice. We enjoy the food at the hotel. Today we hit the pool and enjoyed lunch at the Sandbar. I highly recommend the salads. They are always fresh and delicious. Watch out for the dive bombing birds that hunt around the big pool.

Very inconsistent. Fish sandwich great a couple months ago, today was lousy.Bartender who took my order didn't have the power to credit it.Had to wait for three manager to come from some other part of the hotel. They did eventually credit it.Salad order was messed up too.This hotel needs more humans you can just call someone you have to always go through robot IIVR system

We ate lunch at the Sandbar almost every day of our visit at the Gaylord Palms. There were plenty of shady spots at the restaurant overlooking the pool and the prices weren't ridiculously expensive even though we were dining at a resort. The food isn't gourmet, but that is expected when you are dining poolside in wet bathing suits and flip flops.I tried the chicken quesadilla, cheese burger and chicken tenders. Everything was good, but the quesadilla was my favorite. Nice selection on the kid's menu and the portions were large enough to split one meal between two kids. The cocktails weren't great so I stuck with beer. There are about a half of a dozen craft beers on the menu.

Jeremy the bartender was phenomenal! Food was great too but he made the trip worth it. The manager even came to see how our food and drinks were. Great customer service and we will be back.
