The Sandbar

We stopped in before and really enjoyed it, so we decided to stop again. We arrived just before 5 pm last night. My husband and I know that finding anything without a wait on a Saturday night is rare, but we were seated right away. Our waiter was very nice and the appetizer was good but that's all. My husband ordered the Cajun Sautee...it tasted like beef stew with rice in it. It also tasted like a heat and eat meal, not one you would expect from a restaurant whonis supposed to make their own food. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be spicy, but I guess to me, the word Cajun insinuates spice......this was not spicy either. I ordered the Cajun Steak Alfredo, our waiter asked how I wanted my steak, and I told him medium rare. The steak in my meal was so thin; there was really no other way to cook it besides well done. We both ordered Bloody Mary's, and neither tasted like they had alcohol in them. The second round was the same for my husband butane tasted like it had enough for 2 drinks. It was definitely not worth the $77. We can take our 3 kids with us next time and eat at Texas Roadhouse for just over $100.

Here for a work trip. Stopped in for a beer and some wings. The wings were hard. But I think it was probably just a one time issue. Didn’t mention anything to anybody. The flavor was good. The staff here is very friendly. Good beer. I’m from Texas so it’s nice to try local beer from this state and they do have local beer. I was super happy to find they have Shiner from my home state. Not a ton of places do. I will say this though… the guy with dreads who worked here was in the bathroom while I was and he saw me and never washed his hands. He didn’t seat me either and just told a door dash driver he doesn’t know what to do. The servers and bartender were seating people as he let people walk out the door. Never even greeted me. May want to look for another guy to hire in his place. ***Update*** The cheese curds are badass and the bartender Nick is great. Should out to the guys in the back of the house. Y’all do great. Will be back within the next day or so for more.

It's been a few months since we have been, but I was craving the wings and my wife was craving the meatloaf. To our surprise, they got rid of most of their menu options, including the meatloaf. Most of the items are wildly overpriced. Like $14 for a club sandwich with fries. It's just a sandwich with deli meat and some waffle fries. Their soup was loaded potato and my wife said it had a very off taste to it. Needless to say we didn't get dessert. We are super disappointed and we don't think we will be back. We spent $45 dollars on a sandwich that had nothing special to it, a bowl of soup and the appetizer of boneless wings. Just crazy.

No gluten-free options on their menu and when I asked the waiter about making anything gluten-free he directed me to a pasta steak dish. I told him that normal pasta is by far not gluten-free. He didn't have a clue what gluten is. Then he said he wasn't dealing with me and was getting the manager. The manager at least understood, but still not terribly helpful.

Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had a any dining establishment in the Sioux Falls area! Food has generally been ok. But the service tonight was horrible! Nothing short of rude! All employees could not wait to get everyone out of the establishment! Putting up chairs everywhere while people were trying to eat. Would not serve you a beverage unless it was water or pop because it was 9:58 pm and they close at 10:00 pm. Even though our food shows up at 9:58 pm. Actually had a to go container thrown at me was told to take it and leave. Would not recommend this establishment whatsoever!!!

I was very disappointed in our meal on Saturday evening. There were 5 of us and my bill was over $105.00 . there was no tables there for us and we needed to wait. Every table was tall and there were 3 people that were 93, 70 and 75 years old. They made us walk way back to the area in the back. We had 2 walkers and a cane. I am sorry but they are not very helpful for older people. We use to come there alot but the last two times, were not good. We waited for a number of months because of our experience. After this last time, we will not be back.
