I used to frequent this bar when it was Philly's. When it became Sandbar I stopped going because it…read morewas a disappointment. The vibe wasn't the same, they hardly had live music, it just was not impressive at all. Recently I gave it another chance as it is close to where I moved. From what I what I saw advertised, they only have music trivia and karaoke...not anything impressive. However, they have the games I enjoy playing. Recently I went with someone who had been banned 3 years ago for a PERSONAL manner. Previously owning a bar, I am familiar with words banned and barred. Banned is temporary, barred is permanent. After allowing him in and serving him a beverage, he was told by the bartender he had to leave after his drink. Let me include there was no type of negative behavior by him and he had a menu prepared to spend money at establishment and generously tip server. When I asked what the reason was, the bartender said he was told by "Head of Security" (which isn't even a valid title) to dismiss him. (this person wasn't even present nor has been present recently. I assume he has nothing better to do than watch the security footage). In my opinion it was a form of discrimination as the reasoning of banning was a temporary personal situation. (nothing that had or has anything to do with bar). "Head of Security" has nothing good said about him when establishment is discussed with other patrons that no longer go there because of him. He needs to educate himself on the correct use of banned and barred. Being he is in the non existent position as "Head of Security" you would think he would already have that knowledge. He has been there for years and is completely washed out. Updating his position is something highly recommended by not only myself but previous patrons that would return if that takes place. He should remove himself from patrons personal business or get the whole story before he takes on the position that he thinks is larger than what it is.

One beef one pork very well priced very well made with a wonderful sauce. We had plantains that were fried to perfection. Our drinks were fantastic and the service was wonderful! The New Owner came by to greet us and welcome us to his new place and made us feel so welcome! I really recommend this place for a fun time a good meal and great drinks and live music! I wanna go back and try their hamburgers, which I hear are fantastic as well as the Ropa Vieja! I hope to see you there!

Ack's Place is a nice easy place to grab food and drinks…read more Wait staff was quick to take drinks and follow up with refills. We didn't have any alcoholic drinks so no opinion on them except their prices on the menu were reasonable. Food was good and came out the way we ordered it. I didn't care for their wings. Too dry and didn't have good flavor for my taste. The burger was good and was slightly over cooked for how I ordered it but wasn't far off. It tasted good. The atmosphere is a bar and grill. Clean tables and most condiments were at the table. Overall good experience for bar fare. Recommend Ack's Place. It's better than most chain bar and grills and if you're from that side of the Hampton Roads, saves you a trip to the more populated restaurant chains locations.

The bouncer kinda rude and just not the friendliest person to be the first face you see when entering the restaurant. We sat at the bar and ordered Espresso Martini's. This is not the place to order that drink. The bartenders just aren't familiar with making them and the ones that we got had two Ingredients... Jäegermeister and kahlua. Idk my friend liked it but it really wasn't for me. For food we got the cheese fries which were really good and a pound of crab legs. Which i wish we ended up getting s second pound of crab legs.

We ordered almost immediately. 50 minutes later I got my sandwich, and it was luke warm at best. My wife ordered a salad that arrived about 10 minutes later. I've been there countless times in the past and never had an issue. This time may cause me to re-think going back. Saw another table wait even longer for their food. I know it's a dive bar but they always had good food int he past. Really a disappointment this time.

Well, it's been five years since my last review...and this place apparently didn't impress enough…read morefor me to revisit, despite being quite close to my workplace. I'm just not terribly crazy about the "order at the counter" style of restaurant if I'm going out to eat. But, I belong to a group that decided to meet here for an event, so I ended up giving it another shot. The interior is still cute, and the concept is nice. I like that you can get mini/micro pours of things. I feel like it used to be a set amount, but now you can literally just pour a taste to see if you like it with a micro charge and then add more or move on if you don't like it. That was really useful since I'm not much of a beer drinker - it took me a while to find one I could sip on. I ordered the sliders - now what I thought was cool about this (and again, I don't remember it being this way the last time I was there, but I also ordered whole burgers last time) is that you could customize your sliders. So I was able to order three different sliders which was awesome. I tried the bourbon, the brie, and the shrooms. Of the trio, the bourbon was my favorite and the other two were sort of a toss up second place. They were cooked correctly and hit the spot. Overall, I'd say it was a notch up from my last visit and I'd be willing to try it again if I'm in the mood for some mini burgers!

I chose to sit at the bar, and I'm so glad I did because I had the pleasure of getting to know one of their own, a truly special woman named Sadie. She made our experience unforgettable with her genuine hospitality and exceptional service. We started with the Southern Sampler, and the fried pickles and pimento cheese were my absolute favorites. Everything was delicious, and I already can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Before you leave, do yourself a favor and stop by the bakery and gift shop. It's full of delicious treats and unique provisions that are the perfect way to end an amazing dining experience.

This is my second visit in about a year, but my first Yelp review for Laura's Rise and Shine…read more What I will say is our first and today's visit were solid 4 1/2 stars visits but I'll round up to 5. Our meals today were really good. Mine was the Skillet. Which was very filling and really good. The wifey had the omelette, which she tells me she liked. The best way to describe the meals is as close to home as you can get. Again the Skillet was a large amount of food. Be hungry if you order it. Our server was very nice and checked on us several times during our stay. This a cute place in a strip mall. So I again this was our second time here. Sadly I can't remember what we ate a year ago but it was good enough for us to remember it and come on back in. So an absolutely recommend this place for your breakfast meal. I assuming other meals are just as good. So go on in and if you have something different- share with us. Oh don't forget this is a CASH ONLY place.

Very clean, lovingly decorated with pictures of the owner and his dog, who I think is the inspo behind their logo. My twin and I were greeted by a very nice, cheerful lady who told us what the special were and was patient as we made our selection. I was really feeling like some clam po boy and I wanted potato salad even though the special call for tots, but hey, I want what I want, right? The food was DELICIOUS and very well seasoned. I like how generous they were with the clams spilling out of the bread and slathered with some tasty remoulade. The potato salad was a nice, satisfying scoop and was a delicious pairing with the sandwich. I would love to make this a regular spot when I go to Virginia.
