Is this the same as Midtown eats? Ordered the pulled pork w/tots and single cheeseburger gouda cheese and fries. Everything was good.
My boyfriend took me to his favorite water hole for the first time tonight. Our bartender Mike was awesome dude. Very attentive, has a great personality and runs the bar like a boss! We ordered a À Surry Burger with a side of loaded tots. OMG 🤤 Hands down the best burger. The atmosphere was really layed back and chill. No crazy trying to start trouble. I will absolutely come back next time I'm in town. Sandbar is for sure the place to be! Thank you for making such a great first impression.
We ordered a variety of things to try as it was our first time eating their fare. This order was delivered to our home and ordered via GrubHub. We ordered a large(12in) cheesesteak w/onions, green peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños and provolone cheese, two junkyard dogs (hotdogs) w/chili, cheese, mustard, onions, coleslaw, and jalapeños, a salted pretzel w/cheese sauce, pork rinds, and a kids macaroni and cheese meal (it came with chips or fries, cookie, and small drink). The food was tasty and plentiful. We only had a couple of disappointments food wise: the sub roll on the cheesesteak was soggy and it was a little greasy, the homemade chips that came with each meal were limp and not crisp (making them more like large sliced fried potatoes), and the coleslaw was more of a rustic cut making it a little overpowering on the hotdog. Our biggest concern was the plastic utensils enclosed with our order. They seemed to give off an industrial cleaner or mildewy odor that was not confined to the outside wrapper, but tainted the utensils themselves. You could actually taste it and it tasted exactly like it smelled; so needless to say we opted for our own silverware after that experience. Not a bad place to eat as long as you don’t use the plastic utensils supplied with takeout orders. Family friendly, however drinks and beer is served.
The service at Sandbar is amazing, and it’s such a fun place to grab drinks and have a great night out. It has that perfect neighborhood vibe where everyone feels welcome, even if it’s your first time there. I’d definitely recommend Sandbar to anyone looking for good drinks and a good time.
Normally this is a good spot to grab some food. I usually get the pizza here but I tried some other items such as the Philly and chicken cheese steak and some wings. They were not good. I should have stuck with the Pizza. Service and atmosphere was great. Also the extra large potato chips were delicious.
Boneless Buffalo Wild Wings were very good. And the service was very quick! There is a bunch of different games you can play at the bar. Its menu has lots to offer as well.
Mom and I visited Midtown Eats today. It had been a while since we had eaten there, and we thought we would give it a try again. Mom got the chicken salad on rye with cole slaw. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. I got a brisket philly and onion rings to go. The burger was great, as I had remembered they were. The fries were okay, but I'll get the onion rings next time. They were lightly battered and fried to perfection. They were actually hand breaded onion rings, which I love ❤️. The interior was simple, and was very clean. Mom and I will visit again soon. We got there at 11, when they opened, so it wasn't busy. Two gentlemen came in when we were leaving, so it wasn't too busy. The food came out quickly. It would be worth a try!
