The Sandbar

Fried catfish was good except for the dark strip that was not cut out. That part always needs to be cut out. Very cool and unique place with chalkboard walls.

Awesome, hidden gem if you love Alabama and low key places with friendly staff and lots of regulars.

Love the staff. Nice variety on the menu. Bar, inside & outdoor seating available.

The atmosphere was great outside. The inside left me feeling meh. There was a band playing outside and it had a nice crowd. Minimal wait time. The hush puppie appetizer was delicious. Several of us had the fish and chips. The fish pieces were huge and perfectly crispy outside, with a nice moist interior. However, it was very poorly seasoned. Even the kids thought it was bland. The shrimp and chips had the same complaint; the shrimp were big enough, but it was just bland. One of us had the Nassau shrimp. While it had a good sauce, the shrimp were very small. Overall, it was entirely too much money spent on a lackluster experience.

We had lunch here recently. To begin with the restaurant is kind of in an out of the way location. There is a good waterfront view though. There were several menu items that were not available at the time we visited and it took an excessive amount of time for our food to come out of the kitchen. The food was okay.

I lived the view of the water while eating! It is Ina very nice place, hidden, but nice.
