Quintessential Nantucket Sound local spot with college servers and live music on certain days.
Roll in with your swim trunks or summer best!
Carolyn, the valet’s & staff are nothing short of amazing! Be sure to stop at the bank for cash to tip these great hard working kids!!

You might expect to find some holes in the menu given the rating, but the Cajun shrimp tacos are on point (over the fish sandwich) and the kids loved the pizza

The view is amazing. Someone else used the term “Cape dive bar” and that about sums it up. Pub fare on paper plates with a raw bar. No mignonette, don’t bother asking.

Food, drinks, atmosphere are all awesome.
Some advice to ownership: fix your valet system and offer paper tickets when you leave your car. Anyone can steal anyone’s car. It’s all on the honors system and not a secure place to eat if you have a super nice car as anyone can just come and say your car is there’s and take it. It’s an easy fix that would go a long way.

A nice place to stop after a day at the beach. Also a great place to stop anytime you feel like a quick bit.
Bad experience. Small portion for big price. I had an issue with a drink and she didn't take a away when she went to go have a new one made and since we were left in the hot sun with no water we ended up drinking some of it and then was charged. Wasn't a happy camper.

This spot offers such a relaxing outdoor dining experience, and it truly has the potential to be magnificent. However, it feels like very little effort has been made to transform it into the gem it could be. I'm not entirely sure about the history of the place, but perhaps there are plans to improve the building and outdoor seating area, allowing guests to fully appreciate the beautiful marsh view. To me, it evokes the charm of old Cape Cod, reminiscent of the restaurants I knew as a child. This isn't because it's striving for a vintage vibe, but rather because the place simply appears worn and a bit stuck in the past.

We came to The Sandbar in Cape Cod excited to relax and enjoy some drinks, but unfortunately, the experience fell flat. We ordered Painkillers—classic tropical cocktails that are supposed to have a noticeable rum presence. What we received were overly creamy, bland drinks that clearly had no trace of alcohol.
We went back to the bar and politely let them know the drinks didn’t taste right and asked if they could be remade or fixed. Instead of remaking them, they handed us each a rum floater to pour in ourselves. Not ideal, but we appreciated the attempt to make it right—until the check came and we saw they charged us $2 extra per drink for the floaters they gave us to correct their mistake.
To make matters worse, the entire staff seemed to be high school or college-aged—which is totally fine—but they were clearly not trained on how to behave professionally in a family-friendly setting. While we were sitting nearby, we overheard them loudly chatting about their wild weekend hookups and other personal stories that were definitely not appropriate for a public workspace, especially with kids and families around.
Overall, between the poorly made drinks, being charged to fix a mistake, and the unprofessional atmosphere, we left disappointed. Definitely won’t be returning.

The pizza wasn't bad tho our drinks were watered down. Their whole belly clams were ok but the waitress that had our table was not very nice. Doesn't say hi but starts with what do you want? Took a long time for our table of 4 to get our drinks and when we got our food she asks does it look ok? Strange question. 10 minutes later dumps our bill on the table. Yeah we're not coming back to this place
