The Sandbar Restaurant & Lounge in Glace Bay

Excellent food! Excellent service. Will be back again

The service and food are incredible. Our server Devon went above and beyond to ensure we had a great night. Thanks Devon

Chill atmosphere, with good food and service. Depending on what you order and how busy the restaurant is, you may be waiting a little bit for your food but its always tasty.

Always delicious, whatever Ive ordered

Offers the best service on all levels..food is the best around..friendly staff...great entertainment...cozy place to be... ******* Fast forward to present day,new owners, its hit and miss with the food,no longer the homey atmosphere feeling, they canceled Senior Sundays which was a huge success for the seniors with music and dancing on Sunday afternoon, we always had specials that they could afford but this crowd were not drinkers so it was canceled , I no longer frequent this place....

The worst beer I had ever in life. It just tastes like damn drinking an orange juice. We with my friends has a picture of beer . It was the disgusting beer I ever had !

I seen more cheese on a hotdog than what they put on the nachos when I took my son there for his birthday. This place use to be a lot of food for cheap, now its little for a lot.

They have a great tomato soup. Staff like all Cape Bretoners ( on average) was very friendly.

Always a great visit wonderful staff and never a bad meal. Definitely recommend this place if your in the area.

I have had burgers all over this country. Everywhere I go, I try the burgers to find the best ones. The sandbar has the best burgers I have ever had hands down. No other establishment compares to their burgers. Would highly recommend and will be returning every time I go to Nova Scotia.

Always a great atmosphere & our waiter Dylan awesome at his job & food was delicious as always!!

Excellent place

Great fish and chips.

Spent an enjoyable evening there Delicious food great service Food

I come here often but on a recent visit we had Dylan as our server, and he truly went above and beyond to give us such a great experience and I will come back specifically to request him!

Our server was absolutely fantastic! I didnt catch his name though. He recommended the cranberry chicken wrap with the tomato soup and I canNOT recommend it highly enough!! Best tomato soup on the island!!

Went for lunch with coworkers on 2 occasions first time my food was very underwhelming. Second time it was Amazing! Service was great both times. Easy parking.

Vegetarian options: Lots of options for ovo-lacto. Didnt ask about vegan but I think modifications would be easy! Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF and vegetarian options!

Always good food and drinks here

First visit. Our server was great. Pleasant and accommodating Vegetarian options: Pretty limited. Veggie wrap or a salad. Fish if you include that in your diet. Parking: Tons of space

We went on our anniversary. It was a lovely casual place to go. The food was amazing, and we truly enjoyed it and will go again.

Very fresh and so good

My husband and I were there today around two thirtyish. Service was perfect. The food was delicious. The manager gave my husband, a taste of the smoke, ribs and wings that they do on the smoker. Joe said they were the best he s ever tasted. Wow !!what is his exact words lol check it out. You won t be disappointed.

Great experience and great food

Went in for dinner and we re seated right away sat waiting for anyone to come take our drink order never mind food for 15 mins watched 2 other tables be seated after us and served drinks to each one still no one came to our table multiple servers as well as the hostess who sat us down continuously walking by without any acknowledgment never had such a terrible experience in the east coast

Nice quiet restaurant, had a few drinks and some nice food. Great location near Dominion Beach . Next time we will go for a swim, have a nice meal then walk it off bare foot in the sand.

Nice bright and clean restaurant! The food was great and the service was quick and friendly. Fantastic looking patio that is surrounded by flower baskets.

Great food,great service. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for wheel chairs. Food : 5/5 |

Food and service was great! Local beer taps were down but overall was a great experience

Delicious handcut fries and frozen drinks!

Was there on Mothers Day. Extremely busy , went in for brunch at 11, but it didnt feel like there was enough staff. The staff that was working was very friendly and helpful but we had a long wait for our food. Wheelchair accessibility: It was mobility friendly.

Perfect food, lovely server, great patio. They let us bring our 2 dogs onto the patio, which the dogs enjoyed immensely. The server provided super prompt, accurate service. The eggs were hot, toast and bacon were perfect, with tasty little potatoes. He kept us topped up with water and coffee. Great little spot Dietary restrictions: One of us has a gluten intolerance and our server knew exactly what was a no-go and provided substitutions she was very happy with (a gluten-free bun instead of toast, and a fruit cup instead of the potatoes).

Food was amazing. We had a smash burger and tacos. Both were great! Beer was cold and waitress was friendly! Great atmosphere and nice patio...would recommend it to everyone.

Sent the food back.. it was terrible. I liked the renos they did but food was expensive. $2.99 for a cup of gravy and $9 for a local beer. Also my kid got very sick(not the flu) after eating there, not sure if its connected.

Ellise was our server....she sums up in one word.....fantastic!! She understands the meaning of service.. Food

Parking: Lots and f room to park right in front of the restaurant Food

Was excellent, Devon was a great waitrt

Weve lived in CB for almost two years ago but I only recently went to the Sandbar for the first time. Best food weve had in the Sydney area. We went for the second time tonight. Looking forward to trying more of their menu.

As always, clean, welcoming, very spacious and always welcoming.

food undercooked. wouldnt recommend quesadila..no filling.

just had my wonton nachos, literally my fave thing from here except this time they were absolutely SAUCELESS!!! my favourite part of this dish was skipped tn

Great food great people great service

Went on may 4 2022. Very disappointed. Had heard good things about this place. Their was 4 of us we all ordered the surf and turf for 29.$ . The portion was very small. And my steak was 80% fat. 3 bites was meat. Was cooked as i had asked it was tasty but for the lack of actual edible meat . wont waste my money there again

Awesome food

Great burger and the music was awesome.thanks Taylor and Aeryn

Was my first time eating there. Very good food, excellent service and nice ambiance. Tried the Triple Dip Appetizer, loved it and then had a great steak dinner. Will be going there again soon.

This place is amazing Great music,great staff and great food. I definitely give this place 5 stars Keep up the great work.

Great service and food!!

This is home I love our sandbar They treat us royalty here love There food also an recommend To visitors to try this place so Peaceful here

The food is great and the outdoor seating and live entertainment are wonderful!

Very slow service Dried out fries and sandwich Weak and cold coffee Very disappointing

Food was excellent, the only reason it wasnt 5 stars is because the portion of pasta i had for $20 was pretty small. My fiance got the sweet potatoe fries for an extra $3.95 but barely any fries on the plate! Good atmosphere for a night out and good service.

Great food, great server. Cold beer!!

Wonton nachos were fantastic. Had the beef ones, only thing that could be different is maybe use a taco seasoning and ground the beef, otherwise they were amazing!! Huge portion!

Very expensive, small portions,rude waiters....asked me if I wanted my change.Will not be going back.

Friendly and great food

After Fiona hit, we, like so many others lost power for over a week which caused all the frozen foods to spoil. The Sandbar offered fish and steaks at wholesale prices to help us and others to replace lots of frozen goods. Thanks for stepping up Sandbar. It is very much appreciated.

Great spot, we all loved our food and the service was fantastic

Very good place to eat Parking: In front of the place Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah

Love the food here, no matter what I order its always taste delicious. My personal favourites are the maple curry with penne and the wonton nachos. Fast and friendly service, highly recommend!

Brunch was excellent. Service was really great

Food and service were excellent

Food was hot and tasty. Staff was professional and atmosphere was welcoming.

Very good! Food, and service, was excellent.

Pan fried haddock was delicious Club house is made with a chicken burger patty....yuck The bathroom is freezing...no heat source The place is clean and new Well try it again

The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars, was because the wonton nachos were stuck, and I mean stuck to the paper so I kept getting bits of paper in my mouth. BUT the food and service was otherwise fantastic and I will definitely be back. Ill just get them to hold the paper...lol

After a few hours playing in the snow had a great meal here....great service!!

Great food, service and staff

The food was absolutely fantastic! Super delicious, very fresh. We ordered on Valentines day, there was a pretty long wait which was to be expected, however when I got to the restaurant it ended up being about another 30 minute wait. The waitress was amazing because of this additional wait time she discounted the potato skins I had ordered, which I greatly appreciated. Absolutely wonderful customer service! We will definitely be coming back here!

Great pub food and friendly staff.

There hamburger $16.50 is great better than the popular 5 Guys in Winnipeg.. Their gravey is great but their fries I do like because they have skins on them.. skins are okay but they need to be bigger/fatter...because they get overcooked and therefore no potato substance...

Amazing everytime

Great!

The service was awesome and the food was amazing

Amazing 10/10 everytime I go there . (Which on average is 2x q week )

Wonderful staff and food!!

Kid friendly in the day and early evenings ,theres a wait for food, but its hot and very good

My girlfriend, her mother and I were in for supper tonight, upon our arrival we were seated right away... Customer service was great, the food on the other hand left a lot to be desired. We had heard a lot of good things from friends and family, so for my birthday we decided to try it out. My Girlfriend and her Mother both had the fish and chips, which they had found the batter on the fish to be tough, dry and chewy. I had the Big Pig sandwich with fries, I was led to believe that it was going to be a bigger than usual sandwich thats Not for the faint of heart(Quote from the menu). The 7 oz burger with pulled pork on it was very dry and overcooked I found, and fries were super salty.... Our waiter provided excellent service, when I mentioned it was my birthday he had taken my meal off the bill and explained how to apply for the Sandbars VIP specials. As far as us returning to the restaurant? Who knows? I was asked by Google for an honest review, tonights issues could have been due to a busy Saturday night supper time.... Who knows? I hope this review helps improve the restaurant in a positive way. Sincerely Dale McKinley

The service couldnt have been any better! Food was exceptional too -

Food and service both top notch. Great ownership.

My boyfriend and I had started dating when the pandemic began, and decided to venture into this place for our first official date in the middle of the afternoon on a whim. And Im really glad we did. The food was better than anything I have had around here and the service was great. Cant wait next time to enjoy drinks on thier new outdoor seating area.

By far the worst food Ive ever eaten even on this island even after the Renos and new management. I had a double order of wings and fries and I couldnt even eat 3 of the wings they were hard as a rock and the meat was pretty much cooked out of them. All my food was cold and took them almost a hour and a half to make the food seems to me they spent more time cooking it over and over and letting it get cold then anything. The service was horrible had to keep asking someone besides our waitress for drinks because our waitress didnt even bother to serve us. Too the cook: I wouldnt feed that food to my dog and that is why I sent the plate back barley touched enjoy my money sandbar because its the last time I ever look at that restruant/lounge ever again.

My sister and I were there Tuesday night the food was fantastic and the waitress was wonderful there was a little wait but the food was worth waiting for we will be back with friends the next time five Star all Around.

Amazing service, food and entertainment

I cant give more than a 2 star rating. To start the meal me and my family went for a super late breakfast and when we seen breakfast on the menu we got are orders ready its odd to give me a menu with breakfast options and then be told no more breakfast for to day but hey I can live with it. So we order coffee and are told we have to wait for the coffee we waited like 15 mins again no problem but when it comes it looks like tea we ask about the coffee and get o it was dark coffee I put in the cup it was basically water with cream in it but hey lets move on to the meal may I say not for the faint of heart leads me to think this is gonna be alot. We got a small burger with no flavor other than the few bites of over cooked pullpork but the only upside was the fries they were okay. Service also seemed to get defensive when we asked about the coffee and the lettece. The food was consistent and I dont mean that as a compliment I would say the burgers are a no fly zone from what I had. Ill give the place another chance but I couldnt suggest going off what we had today.

Great place,great people..Try the pan fried Haddock very good..

Great staff,good service and ,food at its best.

We had great food and really good service.

My boyfriend and I were down in Sydney for our anniversary and we wanted to try new/local restaurants. We were in Dominion for the day and decided to try this place. We absolutely LOVED IT! We are originally from NB, and this restaurant reminded us so much of some of our pubs back home. The staff were phenomenal, the food was so good (probably the best Mexican dip we ve ever had), portion wise for food was more then enough! I guess the only thing that disappoints me is that we live so far away that it will be a long time before we get to go here again. It will definitely be another stop for us whenever we we go back for a visit. I m very happy we tried this place out while we had the chance! :)

They had some things on the menu I have never had before. I will keep it a surprise tpu will have to go check it out for your self.. Staff and food were good. I will be back to try some of the menu items I didnt have room for this time.

Great updated restaurant! Not busy on a Monday. Loved the atmosphere, food and service. Thanks!

Love the Sandbar! My favorite place to eat in CBRM. My go to menu options are wonton nachos and pan fried haddock. Renovations were excellent!

My son and his gf took me there for my birthday... Food was awesome.

Fun and friendly staff

Alwas a great meal and awesome service.

Our favorite. Hands down you will find the best cooked food served by friendly staff! Great atmosphere while enjoying your meal. Well decorated with an excellent atmosphere at anytime. Great for groups of both family and friends.

I had the bacon burger , 6 strips of bacon on a homemade burger, it tasted great only 4 stars because the fries were not hot

Great and friendly service and delicious food. Nipper MacLeod sang tonight, and was absolutely entertaining

Best place I ever eat

There was a bit of a wait but the food was excellent... I recommend the Fireball Burger...

Great bar tender nice relaxing atmosphere,will be returning for lunch or dinner in the near future

Great place to eat...very clean andsand is very friendly.

Great food, Super service. Hidden gem.

Good food

Great food, great prices and staff are friendly!

Decent food, good service. Its not Boston Pizza, but the quality & menu are similar... Great alternative...

nice clean place. Since covid their tables are not on top of each other , so it has a better dinning feeling . staff were attentive and friendly. The food was ok

The place was not really busy, so I am basing this review on a time when it would have been easy to look good. The atmosphere over-all was awesome. Our Server, was AMAZING. The FOOD was delcious. Over-all....I would recommend the SANDBAR - to anyone!! If they can operate like that, when they are real busy.....I will change my RATING to 6

Great food not expensive and service was great place looks great clean cant ask for more

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. There was hardly any pulled pork on it. I was disappointed with that. My husband had fish and chips and my mom had a chicken club wrap. Their portions were much larger. Maybe it was because they were really busy, but I left there hungry.

Always good service, food and prices

Great food and wonderful staff

Food was delicious and staff were great.

Really good place

Excellent like always

The service & food were great. Nice renos

The food is great. Especially the steak anf fish and chips. The server was freindly and very helpful.

Fantastic service and food. And loved my Bellinis :)

Delish food. Totally remodelled

Our food was fantastic. We tried the Mexican dip, fish and chips and a spicy burger. I really liked the the burgers were fresh, not premade frozen patties. Our meals were worth every penny we spent. The drinks are well priced and the service was great.

Great food and service. Owner greets everyone at door and makes you feel welcome.

Absolutely delicious. Good drink selection, clean and comfortable atmosphere. The service was excellent too.

It was delicious and great service.

From the moment you walk in the door you feel at home. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food

Everything is delicious that we ordered ! The staff are so wonderful and pleasant. We will return.

Probably the best food/menu/kitchen in the cbrm. They have done a beautiful job turning this little gem into a wonderful spot to dine. A definite favorite.

Food and drinks were delicious and tasty. Had ceasers, wish I could have had more...

Awesome. Great food and service.

Stopped to check out the place under the new ownership..very disappointing..the waitress was nice but that was the only thing nice about the visit..so dark i could hardly read the menu..very cold inside..kitchen staff with beards handling food with no hair nets and when the food did arrive it was horrible..we ate very little of the meal..burnt..cold..and not tasting right

Chicken wings were awesome

Great spot!

Always awesome!

Great food,great service and good prices.

The owner Kevin and the staff are a great team. Music was awesome. Food was good.

Atmosphere, and music is great but really no debit or credit card. You lose customers or sales with out dated cash only. Also too many tiny burnt fries, not just once but on two visits and not just mine. You took the best burger off the menu, the barbcue bacon cheeseburger.

Delish

Debbie and John brought us here, we were visiting from toronto, Food was amazing had the philli cheese steak wrap! Amazing band playing music. they were really good. Great people, great service. Would defenitly come back if im ever in town

Great food and drinks

Good pub food service was great

Had the $5 fish and chips. Food was amazing, staff was a bit on the slow side however.

Fisherplatter was delicious, John Curtis was amazing and the beer was icy cold! Loved my Sandbar experience

Some major changes, improving all the time

Newly renovated. The food is delicious. My husband and I had supper there and were very impressed with the new menu. The music was awesome.

Awesome location...close to the Beach

Delicious Food! Great Entertainment!Super Service!

Nice place, friendly customer service and fantastic food

Nice and helpful staff. Good food and cold beer. Cool music on week ends. I enjoyed my time there.

Food, staff and atmosphere were great

I attended a birthday party there , good music and the food and service was very good , friendly staff ,Im gonna be going back for sure

Breakfast was excellent!

Went for breakfast. Had some good food and and staff were friendly. Breakfast time was busy. Waited a bit for the food but was worth the wait.

The food here was amazing, the wait was a little long, but it was worth it. The entertainment while we waited made it seem not so long.
