Reviews Summary

Sandbar & Grill is a long-standing local favorite on the Oregon Coast, praised for its fresh seafood like sand dabs and fish tacos, as well as its pet-friendly atmosphere and scenic ocean views. While many enjoy the casual vibe and friendly patrons, some diners have noted inconsistent or slow service, particularly when seated away from the bar, and have critiqued certain dishes for lacking flavor.

"Stopped by while in Newport for a work trip. It happened to be on Taco Tuesday. The tacos were really good. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in town."

Joppe Aguirre

"Service was great and bartender made drinks as requested, although bourbon and water was served in a tall glass and was mostly water . Food was terrible. I ordered fish tacos and they were served with tartar sauce !? What!? Please serve fish tacos with salsa and crema. It would make a world of difference! The clam chowder has zero flavor . Tasted like a bland roux that clams were added to it. You’re at the beach …
Please do better ."

Ted Parent

"The food and drinks are pretty good. The service is terrible if you don't sit at one of the six seats at the bar, and the regulars know to sit at the bar to get service so there usually aren't seats available. I went there three times while working in the area. The first time I went on a Sunday night and hardly anyone was there, so I was able to sit at the bar and had a pretty good experience. The second time, the bar was full so I had to sit at a table and it took about 15 to 20 minutes for anyone to check to see if I wanted anything even though there were only eight or nine people in the place. The third time, I figured I'd give them another shot and I went with a colleague on our last night in town. I was looking to knock back several before walking back to the hotel, but after being there for 80 minutes, I'd only been able to get two beers and he only had one. We sat for about 30 minutes with empty glasses before deciding to leave. What a waste of time. I could've brewed my own more quickly than they were bringing them."
