Underwhelmed. My spouse and I dont get to go on date's very often but we have a tradition of picking the $50-$100 per person type of restaurants such as Cork and Bull or Schlesinger's Steakhouse. We alternate on who treats so its become a fun game to show each other up on our dates. So I chose Cibus Chophouse for our Sunday date night, expecting the Cibus Chophouse Menu bc that whats on Google, but ended up with the Sandman Grill Menu?? Literally full of nothing fancy type foods. We ended up getting the .10cent buffalo wings and a smash burger with fries. Bill was less than $20, Cheapest date I've ever had. 😆 Not sure if its under new management or if the Cibus Chophouse menu is available on some days 🤔 The waitress was nice and friendly, they have a bar with TVs, seems like a chill spot to visit on a game night. The food was OK, the atmosphere was OK too. Definitely not what I was expecting, so beware. None of those delicious looking meals people have uploaded over the years were on that Sandman Grill menu. We left disappointment but full.

It’s was uncomfortably cold in there. Everything was overpriced in comparison to taste.

You’ve got great staff, you’ve got great food, you’ve got great drinks. Every time I’ve come here for a quick stop I’ve waited north of thirty minutes for a cocktail and water. You’re now called the Sand bar or something and the EXACT same thing! If you can’t get the cocktails delivered quickly, my word - at least give us water within five minutes. I came for the BBQ because the smell was fantastic! It was tough and chewy pulled pork. Y’all, no. My Boston butt in the oven for twelve hours at 300 would shame that mess you nailed the sourdough bread soup, though.

Update: March 2025 I recently revisited the restaurant and was very disappointed. Apparently the chef and menu has changed a couple of times since December 2024. We tried to keep a positive attitude but the pork chop we were served was not fully cooked. My entree came with collards and I asked for a side of kale. I was given a side of collards and they insisted it was kale. It was not. The chef even joked that he had "hot sauce and vinegar". I felt that this was a very inappropriate comment to make. I ordered rice and chicken to take home and when I got home the chicken was also undercooked. The management and waitstaff are so kind and make for a lovely visit but as of right now the food is not great it pains me to say.
12/2024******Wish I could give more stars. Chef was on point. Everything tastes fresh, staff was friendly. Drinks were amazing and the cheesecake is an experience. Food disappeared before I could take pictures!
The three of us had mac and cheese, sauteed kale, crab cake, burgers, samon, and jumbo wings.

The overall experience was trash..the manager was disrespectful and rude..and they give off big racist! DO NOT GO TO EAT HERE! We came in at 6:30 pm with a reservation for our party, 2.5 hours later all we had was water and a a few of our people with us got the drinks they ordered and 2 were wrong, one had alcohol in it and was given to my sister who does not drink liquor! Then the manager tried to block the door when we decided to leave due to the long wait and demanding we pay for the drinks (even the ones we didn’t receive) or she was calling the law lol..meanwhile people of non color that came in after us had not only their drinks but entire meal as well..so yeah needless to say wont ever be going there again! It’s a lot more I can say but that’s the just of it..

Service suck food never came after waiting 45 mins. Sever add drinks to our drinks order we didn't have. Overall service was horrible. Ran out of food never told anyone about it. Never go there if you want to have a nice meal. I wish I can give a zero Stars but that's not an option. Really messed up valentine dinner for a group of friends getting together. I repeat NEVER GO THERE.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to leave a review based on food because I wasn't able to be serviced. I booked a reservation for 2.14.25 3 weeks prior to this date. When I initially called someone said they'd have their manager call back and they never did. I called back the next day and set my reservation. Today I called to confirm my reservation time and I was told that my reservation was never written down and there was a buyout for this evening. I just wanted to do something special for my children due to a recent loss and they ruined our evening. Because of this, I'd never patronize this establishment.

This place offers a pleasant atmosphere; however, if you are coming hungry, be prepared for your blood sugar to drop even more due to the longer wait time you have to wait. I got there with my co-workers for lunch. We were 10, and we waited maybe approximately 1:15 minutes. Only one server and one cook. How can a restaurant have only one cook, and we arrived at lunchtime on Thursday? I ordered half a chicken with coconut rice and sweet plantain; the rice was soggy and bland. We also ordered a side of macaroni and cheese, enormous enough for sharing with three people, but my co-workers were not impressed.
I gotta say, the food was Great. Everyone was Super Happy &

The atmosphere is very chill, cozy and vibrant at the same time! I had NYE dinner with friends in hopes of enjoying my last meal in 2024. Well... failed! My salmon dish, undercooked. Tried again... fish with scales... no Bueno! Oh well, thank goodness for the bartender because my fresh margarita was on point!! Three to be exact! You can press your luck on the food, but the drinks 10/10. Enjoy!

The atmosphere is great, the service was fantastic but the value for the food was dubious.my $47 rib eye steak was gristly and the prices overall were just a bit high for the value received. We would go back for the sandwiches that looked good and were more reasonably priced.

If the food sucks, at least hit a home run on the service…. Owner came and checked in on our table more than our server did. Waiting an hour and a half for a meal is absolutely mind boggling to me. I’m not sure if the restaurant has poor work flow, or what (trying to give the benefit of the doubt) but something here needs to change. Everything took forever. And for all 4 tables that were in Sunday night.
Steaks were WELL over cooked for how they were ordered (med rare). Didn’t even bother finishing mine with absolutely no flavor, along with most of the sides.
Cook needs help, the owner should be proficient enough to jump on the line and help him. Same thing with service. A table would leave and no one would start busing the table or slowly take away glasses. I almost felt inclined to tell the guests who were coming in not to even bother with this place.
This place has some serious work to do. I am so hopeful they can turn it around. The concept is there, just missing the mark on execution
