The Sandbar Patio Bar & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
A great place for a drink and/or appetizer. Good energy and good vibe it is close to the Boise River and Greenbelt.
This is a great spot for a drink and an an appetizer. Great atmosphere and energy close to the beautiful Boise River.
The experience I had here was great although we only grabbed some fries & caprese so I don’t think it’s quite a fair review. Would love to go back for a full review. Fries were delicious, there are 3 different seasonings which are all delicious. The caprese was good! Service was great! Beautiful location.
This location is perfect! The live music made the dining experience top notch. Our food and drinks were great! Everything was fresh. Fries were hand cut. Salad was delicious! Leah our server was a great waitress and was nice to work with.
The Epic Grilled Cheese was superb. Food came out relatively quickly too, very impressed with this place and will def be back! To the staff members that brought water and treats for our dog, thank you
Cobb salad was 9/10 Grilled cheese had a too many diced jalapenos so 7/10, but if you like spicy, with jalapenos, onions, & sliced roast beef, also delicious bread, this grilled cheese is a 9.5/10
Our new favorite restaurant. The first time we have been out since March due to Covid. Last night our dinner was perfection with the exception that our sweet girl forgot to order it gluten free. They gladly made us new. We loved it so much my celiac son asked all morning when we were getting lunch from there. Very happy to know that you can order just about everything on the menu as GF. Lots of Vegan options as well. They serve local food & support local like Gluten Free Galaxy & Snake River Farms. Due to Covid they are strict about masks. We still ordered our food to go & just popped a picnic blanket in the shade for a private delicious dinner & lunch. Only tip...hummus could use a touch more lemon & salt. We will be back often. Thank you.
WHAT A FUN VIBE!!! We've already booked our next trip back! Our hotel was connected to the sandbar patio and grill so that's where we ended up and we couldn't have been more impressed! The food was incredible, my husband and I shared the ultimate grilled cheese and the fruit salad and both were AMAZING! The grilled cheese has a little kick so maybe order without the Jalapenos if you don't want the heat but DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT remove the pepper jelly, it is what makes this sandwich! GO GET ONE! #welldone
