Food was not very good. I had fried chicken sandwich. I had more bread than chicken was way over cooked, dried out. My wife had chicken Caesar wrap had very little chicken and also dry. Very small portions for price.

Ever since the new owners (Kyle and Kenna) took over, things have improved from my perspective. THEY HAVE A CHEF! ((THEY. HAVE. A. CHEF!)) The food is just incredible and the staff is amazing. Don't be surprised if Kyle or Kenna stop by your table just to introduce themselves and ask how your food/service is. They truly care and are committed to providing the best dining experience in the Gun Lake area! And... There are more incredibly exciting changes coming the summer of 2024! Ask Kyle or Kenna, they'll tell ya.

I honestly have nothing to say... Being St Patrick's I thought we would be offered specials or even just green beer. Idk... just bad waiter... but food not any better. Med rare burger ... cooked well done.. so dry couldn't even swallow it. This place used to be decent.. ?

We ordered the Bang Bang shrimp and it was delicious as usual, however our meals were a total disappointment. My husband ordered the cajun shrimp and pasta that was suppose to have tomato, pepper, onion jalapeño peppers and shrimp. The only thing in the dish was spaghetti and shrimp swimming in oil. I had the feisty norwegian that is suppose to have stir fried vegetables in a slightly spicy sauce. There was no spicy sauce and the vegetables were crisp as in over cooked. Our waiter was very good and attentive. we probably should have complained but didn't. Doubt we will be back.

Vegetarian options: I had an excellent veggie wrap which as served warm and actually had been lightly pan fried to perfection. There was a feta spread on the inside of the tortilla which added nice flavor and texture. This was the best veggie wrap I had ever eaten at a restaurant. I also want to mention that there also is an incredibly good salmon entree at this restraunt. The waiter was really good, and there is a small town friendly vibe here. I really like the sand bar!!!!

2-17-24, we stopped in after visiting Winterfest 2024 and the service was outstanding. The Oberon battered Cod was delicious, no need for the tartar sauce and the slaw was fresh as the cabbage still had some crunch to it. The Captain & Coke hit the spot along with the salsa and chips.
First time here and won't be back. No one greeted us to put our name in for a seat for the longest. When we did we waited an hour to get a seat in which almost got taken by another party. Served burnt hard bread with our artichoke dip which was terrible and very small portioned. Move on to dinner salads were not much of a salad. 1 cherry tomato, 3 shreds of cheese 2 croutons. Mushroom swiss burger had literally 2 canned mushrooms on it. I ate it but I suggest seasoning the burgers. My husband wasnt impressed with his food either. Over all service was bad, disappointed to say the least when it comes to spending $100 for food and drinks I'd pick elsewhere.

The food and quality have severely gone down hill. I've had food listed as one thing via menu and not even close to what was ordered. I've had raw shrimp now 5 different times. My daughter has not received what she ordered the past three times we've been. Highly disappointed in this establishment. Been going here for 3 years and the last six months it's been disappointing.

"Wayland Area" is promoting "Between the Buns" and the Sand Bar & Grill has put up a winner. They are already famous for their White Chicken Chili but this Monte Cristo sandwich is epic! The place was busy, the service was gracious, and we chose a tall table directly under a heating vent! We sat in the bar area...lots of natural wood, football game on the screens, people laughing, eating, and enjoying their company! I had a Glenlivet, neat, and my wife had their signature gin and tonic, tall. My Monte Cristo was amazing! Part sando, donut, raspberry jammy deliciousness! She had a Mushroom Swiss burger, cooked to med rare, "on the beach". No bun for her...served on a bed of tots, instead!!! This place continues to up their game!

An excellent experience, great prices and service. The only rub was the bartender who never put in my food order. Parking was ample. I eat corn dogs backwards.
