I came here for the first time two days ago, and I'm already back for the garlic parm wings! The staff is super friendly, and the vibes are great. The food is REALLY fantastic - much better than most bars I've been to. This is the perfect place for a casual drink or food with friends and family. I will definitely be back soon!
We found this little spot by accident, and now we love it!
Such a great place! First time there and will for sure be back. The food was delicious and didn’t take too long at all to come out to the table. Hospitality and service was great! Ordered two full meals and an alcoholic drink and left paying only $30 plus a tip of course! Very satisfied overall :)
Walked in sat at bar in front of bartenders. No one spoke to me for 10 minutes. They were directly in front of me, not a hi. Give us a minute. Here's a water, nor did they give me a menu to look at while I waited. After 10 minutes of the bartenders and servers walking past and looking at me, I got up and walked out. As I was the bartender server, I walked that kept looking at me at the bar walked out into the dining area she passed and said have a good night... really. First time anyone spoke when I couldn't get any service was when I was leaving.
So the staff is not attentative or respectful
The atmosphere wasn't bad
Food I never got a menu to order any.
I sat down at the bar open seats on each side of me. Bar tenders and workers. Behind the bar in front of me cleaned some glasses walked back and forth working but never acknowledged I was there for 10 minutes. The place was busy. But not even a hello. I'll be with you in a sec. Didn't offer me a water or even put a menu in front of me for me to look at while I waited. I might as well have been a ghost until I got up to walk out and as I was walking out the door the woman bartender/server that was directly behind the bar from me walked from around the bar and as she watched me walking out the door she said have a nice day. Really!! Couldn't speak when I was sitting right in front of you. I wouldn't say they have attentative staff at all. Don't know if the food was any good never got a menu or drink. I will not be back. I'm sure they don't care. Thank you
This place is a great value. When they're busy the service can (understandably) get a little shabby.
Food is always consistent and the prices are some of the best in St. Joe.
Place was great! We had to wait a bit on food because they were very busy but still good service. I had the Caribbean Salad. Best salad I ever had! Definitely will be eating here again!
It's unfortunate that I cannot recommend this place, as it appeared to be clean and well maintained, and the food was good. However, my 6 year old son has an egg allergy and when I asked if the bread contains egg, the waitress seemed irritated and came back telling me that she didn't know because the food packaging doesn't have any labels. This in and of itself might not have been so much of a problem if her delivery and attitude had been better. I felt like I couldn't inquire about the other items on the menu without being a huge inconvenience. (I knew the corn dogs weren't an option but chicken strips are sometimes OK depending on how they're prepared). She left us with "let me know what you want to do" without trying to give any other options. We were visiting the area and while I don't expect places to bend over backwards to serve allergy free menu items, I do expect them (or someone) to know what's in the food. My son had some of my french fries and then we took him down the road to McDonald's. There's a good chance he could have simply eaten there with us if the staff had been more informed. Please reconsider providing allergen information to your patrons, even if you can't guarantee an item to be allergen free. Our home state requires establishments to do this by law, but it's simply best practice otherwise. Travel is stressful when dealing with allergies and it's hard to support local places when they can't be professional in this regard. We were in the area for four days and this is the only place that could not accommodate us whatsoever, which is a shame.
My husband and I come here often. It doesn’t look like much on the outside, but inside ambiance is cozy. Food is great. Staff is friendly, great service. My favorite menu item is the Sandbar Special and sweet potato fries. Highly recommend!

The sidewinder fries, cream of mushroom & beef soup, the caprese grilled cheese and the mushroom, Swiss burger…delicious. If you’re looking for a great place with great food, take the drive, this is it!!!

Very limited parking. We were unable to find a parking spot so we were forced to leave.
Hot beef and fries! Yum!
The fries are those skinny ones that are nice and crunchy!
The provolone on the beef just kept stretching.
The aujus had just the right saltiness.
And any place where the bartender calls me "honey" gets 5 stars. Thanks Kimmy B! Just enough of a dive bar but not where you check your glass for lipstick.
Prices are ridiculously low (no complaint.here!).
Beer selection is a bit light but not to have to resort to Bud Lite.
