My family and I enjoy eating at or ordering take out from the Sandbar Motor Inn. We have had really good dining experiences there, friendly staff, fairly quick service and the food is yummy. On the extremely rare occasion of something not being quite right, staff immediately took care of the issue. Being in a seasonal type of town sometimes their menu can be slightly limited especially in their slower winter months, but that’s ok by us…what they have is great!!. The Sandbar is very accommodating for hosting events like birthday parties etc. Their outdoor patio is canine friendly which is great for those who usually have their beloved companions with them. My dog loves going there with us on nice summer evenings.
