My server was Johna and she was amazing! Courteous, professional, friendly, and attentive are just a few terms I would use to describe her. The food was absolutely delicious. The portions were huge. Hubby had the fried seafood combo plate. He has never taken a doggy bag and he brought home half his plate. I ordered the hot crab dip with garlic bread as an appetizer and a cup of lobster bisque. We shared the appetizer and it was so delicious. You could tell it was made with lump crab and there was actual lobster claw meat that was in the bisque. I’ve never had it before where you could actually see large pieces of meat. From atmosphere, to service, to taste and quality this was definitely a 10 out of 10. Will definitely be going back! And special thanks to the manager who gave my hubby a piece of carrot cake on the house for our 35th anniversary.

Very good food and a very nice place to have lunch or dinner on the outdoor patio across the street from the beach with a nice view.

We had the fried shrimp dinners, the best ones we've ever had, 9 large size maybe U13? Also cooked to perfection, we will absolutely be back.

So disappointed The Nats were so bad that we had to change our table and still the Nats were so bad they were in the drinks on the table was actually pretty great. She felt really bad. The food was not good at all. It used to be at the Sandpiper and I know they were arguing screaming in the back in the kitchen. Everything was FF that, you have people in your restaurant and this is what you do disappointed

Food is good. But as an FYI, a half a slice of raw onion on your burger is an additional $3.25, and lettuce & tomato are 25 cents each.

This restaurant seems to be on the decline. We went for an early lunch ( 12:30 p.m). The restaurant was void of patrons except for a table of four. That should have been a clue. Our server gave us menus when we were seated. We placed our order. Our server returned with drinks in a timely manner. About ten minutes later, our food arrived. Our server asked if we needed anything else. That was the last time we saw her until she returned to clear the table and give us our bill.
I ordered a lobster roll. I don’t mind paying a premium price for a quality product. Thirty five dollars for a dry, tough and chewy hot dog sized roll of lobster meat seems to be a ripoff.
My husband ordered a burger. It seemed to be a frozen patty. One step slightly above a fast food restaurant.
Needless to say, we will not be returning to this restaurant.

Very very slow service, slow to get a drink, slow to get desert, not asked if I want coffee?
So I will go to another establishment for my coffee.

Saw a post on social media this morning for Sandpiper’s new menu item. PIZZA !
I knew I had to try this today. My husband and I came in for an early dinner. The manager is a super nice guy who takes pride in his job. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The PIZZA was DELICIOUS! The crispy buttery crust was sooo yummy. We ordered the meat lovers and the double crust Philly cheesesteak. Omg yum! I highly recommend both. We have always come in for their seafood or chicken parm… Moving forward we will definitely also opt for the pizza. Check out the photos. They speak for themselves!
