Most Disliked
Some visitors note that peak hours can lead to crowded spaces, making it challenging to find seating or enjoy meals without a wait. Despite a bustling atmosphere being part of the charm, it can sometimes feel overwhelming during the busiest times, particularly on Friday nights.
Another observation includes the occasional longer wait for food during particularly busy hours, which can detract from the otherwise speedy service. While many rave about the attentive staff, the increased demand can lead to slight delays, especially on game days when excitement runs high.
Lastly, while most diners praise the food quality, a minority of reviews mention consistency issues with some dishes, feeling that their favorites could be even better. However, these concerns don’t overshadow the overall positive ambiance and culinary highlights that Sandbar Sports Grill offers.

I haven’t been here in several years. It used to be one of my sports bars and I wanted to eat here for old times sake. I made an excellent decision. Today was Taco Tuesday which made me very excited as I love tacos. We started with drinks. I had a Kentucky Mule and my wife had a Cat 3 Hurricane. We skipped appetizers and went straight for lunch. I had two fried mahi-mahi fish tacos. My had the sizzlin’ tequila fajitas with yellow rice and black beans. The tacos were really good but those fajitas were exceptional. Between the two of us, we finished everything with no room for dessert. Glad we came here for lunch. Our waitress Zuly was really nice, helpful, and attentive. She checked on us often, made some good meal recommendations, and really seemed to care about us having an enjoyable meal. We will definitely be back soon.

If you're a fan of mahi fish tacos, this spot is an absolute must-visit! I've been indulging in their tacos since 2006, and they are the sole reason I ever find myself there. While the menu boasts a variety of delicious items, it's the mahi fish tacos that keep me coming back. Having lived in Miami and traveled to various states and countries, I've made it a point to visit this place whenever I can. Whether it's ordering 3-6 tacos with fries and savoring every bite outside or making a special trip, these tacos never disappoint. A memorable moment was during my pregnancy in 2018. I drove my Lexus from Maryland to Coconut Grove just to satisfy an intense craving for these tacos. I called ahead to ensure they’d be open and have my order ready, and though it felt a bit crazy at the time, leaving there so happy and full was worth every mile! Even though I thought they might have closed permanently during and after COVID, I was thrilled to return in December 2021 and find them open. I can't wait for my next I hope it's around forever so that I can take my grandchildren one day when I am old!

Best happy hour in the Grove, hands down. The steak Philly and fajitas are so good as recommended by the bartender. Been here on game day and its packed! Gaby and Zuly did a great job. Also, try out the Joey wings

What an amazing place to hang out with friends, family or coworkers. Every wall has a TV playing the game, the beer list is massive! And the bar food is the best in the area hands down. The servers and bartenders truly make you feel at home, I will be coming back. GET THE PHILLY CHEESE STEAK!

I have been to the Sandbar a bunch and love it. The wings are great. I like Joey's style (back on the grill). The food is good, plentiful. The drinks are cold. They love dogs! which is cool. Long live the Sandbar!
