Out here in what feels like the middle of nowhere WI a group of 6 of us needed dinner. But we needed a place that could be gluten free for one of our group. It seems that very few places can make that claim and be good about it, but we narrowed it down to sandbar and not are we glad we did!!! My friend misfit got burgers and said they were quite good.. I, on the other hand, got a special.. a flatbread with buffalo chicken tenders and Mac and cheese on it.. im still drooling over it!! Our server was amazing. Super on top of the group and made extra certain that our celiac friend was taken care of! We have officially decided that this is now our place to go every year when we come to this area! read more

Went there for pizza. We ordered the thin crust and loaded it with toppings. The crust was undercooked and the pizza was warm and not hot. Disappointing. On the other hand the deep fried green beans were excellent as was the service. read more

SandBar and Grill - Fried Green Breans with a Jalepeno sauce.. yum yum! - Bars Near Me - Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

Pretty good! Always a wait though so not somewhere to go if you need a quick meal. Expect at least 20 minutes to be seated and then 30-40 for food at minimum read more

Traveling home after a weekend in the Twin Cities and decided to stop and give this place a try. Thank you for having Gluten-free options. My wife has Celiac Disease and eating out while traveling is always a challenge. They offer both gluten free buns for the sandwiches and a crust for their pizzas. The service was slow, but that wasn't their fault. The place was very busy when we walked in, with most patrons arriving just before us. I would definitely stop and eat again here the next time we are in the area. read more

What a gem. Service was friendly and talkative. What a great experience. The brisket tacos were so good. Great taste profile. The onion rings as an appetizer were delicious as well. The place was very clean. It was not busy when we got there but picked up, which is always a good sign in a small town. read more

We enjoyed this place so much we ate here on our way up North then decided to stop by again on our way home. The food was delicious. Burgers and fries tasted great. The spicy walleye sandwich tasted Devine. Everyone was very friendly and answered our questions about the menu. Getting to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere is always a plus in the summer. Of course we have to mention that the cocktails were good as well, especially the bloodies. We look forward to eating here again. read more

SandBar and Grill - A round of drinks before our meal. Delicious. And the view!!! - Bars Near Me - Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

SandBar has seating both indoors and outdoors, and I suspect something was wrong with the AC indoors this visit because it was cooler outside than it was inside. Ugh. They do have a good amount of docks available for arriving via pontoon/boat, which is how we got there. Our group of eight had the Boss Mac, Bossman Cheese Steak, special of the day tacos and a shrimp salad, Southwest Santa Fe Salad and Sandbar Special pan pizza. My SW Santa Fe Salad was delicious and I would definitely get it in the future. The pizza that my husband ordered didn't have much cheese on it, and he was disappointed that the "pan" crust was so thin. Our server was super attentive. One little thing is that we weren't told about the gratuity added on for our group, nor did we see it on the menu (and I looked later and it wasn't on the menu shown on their website). It was $35 which certainly was not the issue, we actually added more on top of that, but until my eagle-eyed sister spotted it on the group's bill we would have tipped based off the total at the bottom of the receipt that already included the $35 gratuity. read more

Food hot fresh and delicious. Staff was great. Very friendly young people. Great outside seating on the river.

Food was delicious and service very welcoming! Whether you want indoor or outdoor seating plenty of space.

Very busy and a few minor hick ups but folks were working hard to make sure we were served. Hour kitchen wait so we did a few apps and they came out pretty fast and hot. Thanks staff! read more

We had a great lunch here when we were boating on Lake Wissota. We had 8 adults and 6 kids and they accommodated us with a big patio table and were very attentive to all our needs. The food was great and the drinks were great! read more

Overall, pretty great experience at the Sandbar Bar and Grill. We're got there at 7 on a Saturday and there was seating available. Good variety of beers on tap, I got the New Glarus Spotted Cow. Several bar games available, and canoe/kayak rental outside by the lake. We started with the triple order of cheese curds, one of each kind. Spicy, Regular, and garlic. The garlic were the big winner at our table, but they were all delicious. 2 in the group got the yummy delicious burger, and boy is it ever yummy and delicious! Crunchy peanut butter, jalapeno, raspberry chipotle sauce, bacon, and swiss. Another got the Southwest salad, and it looked amazing! The only blip was my spicy grilled chicken was not, and was super bland, it had no seasoning whatsoever. I'm sure this was an oversight. read more

While camping near Chippewa Falls a few 3 weekends ago, we went kayaking at Lake Wissota and stopped by Sandbar afterwords for some Grub. Oh my goodness...we could not have been more happy! First, we are from Chicago and are being VERY cautious about the COVID-19 Pandemic and refuse to sit indoors. While this didn't seem to be the norm, the Sandbar staff were super accommodating and welcoming in letting us set on the outside patio so early in morning! Safety first! Second, I cannot reiterate how welcoming, kind, and helpful the staff were, especially a lady who was juggling us and preparation for a private event. She was wonderful and so welcoming! She made us feel right at home and made sure we were taken care of even though we were outside. Third, the bar menu was extensive and yummy! We both enjoyed some local brews, water for hydration, and some coffee to wake up! Fourth, and best of all: the food was INCREDIBLE! We started with the original cheese curds and thy were PERFECT! I got the southwest chicken salad and LOVED it! A perfect balance of greens and delicious toppings and seasoned chicken! My spouse got one of the burgers and fries and help Ed it! So juicy and flavorful! Fifth, the view from the patio is GORGEOUS! It was like a postcard overlooking the lake! So scenic! Plus the prices are excellent and the bathrooms were spacious and clean! We LOVED our trip to camp near Chippewa Falls...but our experience at Sandbar was an overall highlight! Thanks for treating us so well and for producing delicious grub! Staff safe out there, everyone! read more

We went here early on Sunday evening before Memorial Day. Good thing we came early. The place filled up. We enjoyed the friendly staff and good food. The Crunchy Jalapeño Burger with a side of sweet potato tots was great. The "Floppin Walleye " sandwich was excellent also. We enjoyed our stop here. read more

Typical fried foods. It was ok, but not what we were looking for. Not many choices for restaurants there.

Good location and setting Food service has grown. It has been our favorite summer stop for music and entertainment. read more

Was surprised when I pulled in on a Tuesday night at 8:30 and the place was packed. Not much seating available. Pulled a stool at the bar and was greeted right away by the bartender. He was great throughout the meal and very attentive. I found out quickly why the bar was so busy, it was trivia night and people were really into it. I've been or seen quite a few trivia but this had that small town feel where everyone seemed to know the trivia guy and were really competitive. Ordered the SandBar Burger and upgraded the side to buffalo fries. Both were delicious and prepared very well. I was very impressed here and even bought a hat since I want to remember this trip. If/when I come back up to this area, this will definitely be on the list to go back to. It also always helps that the workers are very attentive and friendly, even when they are slammed and this guy was that. Also, trivia is apparently every Tuesday and Thursday, so stop in! read more

Found this place in the way home from a weekend trip. Stopped for lunch and a couple beers. It was a really nice place! Clean and well kept. They have a great garage(?) that serves as an open room to the outside but shaded from the sun. Nice view of the lake and plenty of air circulation to help combat covid, due to the fact that three of the walls were basically all garage doors. Friendly, laid back staff. I thought they had a really nice take in hamburgers - a little more variety than normal. I'd go again! :) read more

A real gem on Lake Wissota, we found the best indoor/outdoor entertainment, food, service, volleyball leagues, kayak rentals! Did I mention the view of the lake? Our server was also the indoor bartender and this guy deserves some real kudos... read more

Fantastic staff, food is always delicious, & the atmosphere is fun and relaxed! Plenty of room to sit inside or out!

I had the Reuben and it was one of the best I've had. I would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent, and will definitely go back. read more

Great place, good food and good service! Try the black and blue burger, and their gourmet tater tots! Great soup and weekend breakfast too.

Very nice restaurant inside and out! We sat on the patio and had such a great experience!! Food was amazing and brought out super fast! We will definitely be back when we are back in town! read more

I've been to The Sandbar several times and the food is wonderful. The service was good too. The fish is awesome whether you get the fried or the broiled. The broiled is so tender and has some kind of amazing seasoning on it. My favorite! The sweet potato fries are extra but SO crispy and delicious. Give this place a try. It's worth the wait! read more

The burger with JD Barn Burner mustard is heartwarming. Service and quality are clutch! Happy to come across this place! read more

Fun atmosphere with great food and great friendly service! Sat on the covered patio and had a comfortable relaxing time!

Food is always excellent! We have never felt rushed, and it is a comfortable place. Lots of laughter and conversations in the place.

We eat here religiously because they kill it every single time. Their popper burger, yummy delicious burger, and sandbar burger are our go-to's. They also have an awesome quesadilla, delicious spicy Asian wrap, and boneless wings. Certainly gets packed in the summer but the servers are always trying their best read more

Great fish fry at $11 for two pieces of fish. Both the deep fried fish and the broiled fish were excellent. The sweet potato tots were great, and the baked potato was done just right. There were also other choices for potatoes. Dinners came with cole slaw and warm rolls. I would have liked a choice of a small green salad instead of the slaw. We didn't get lemon slices for the fish. The dining area was clean, and the staff checked on us often. Service was quick even though the restaurant was quite busy at noon on a Friday. We'll stop there again when we're in the area. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the chippewa valley! The food is fantastic, try something new! I love everything I've tried and the service is fantastic! Everybody is so nice and welcoming. I will continue to come here often. read more

We went here for the first time last night. It was packed. And it seemed a little short staffed. But they pulled it off. The servers and bartenders were stressed yet friendly and the food was delicious. We had the Bacon Jalapeño popper burger (to die for) and the fish fry which was also delicious!! Definitely will be hitting this place up every time we are in the area!! Remember it gets super busy so be prepared to wait a bit! read more

Awesome "outdoor" eating. Great food - even better service. Reallllllly good cheese curds!

Great food and great Bloody Mary's I mean really great BM!!! Fairly good service - they were busy - but yet with the amount of staff that it looked like they had the service could have been a bit better. We had to ask our waitress several time for a couple of thing - but yet she had plenty of time to hug and chat it up with friends at the bar. Would recommend - but the staff was young so expect service as such. read more

Bartender was terrible thursday night (11/14) She was like a snobby rude teenager, rolling her eyes and glaring. How is she a bartender there? Just awful. I like going there, service is usually okay. Food is always good. If it was my first time time there, I wouldn't come back. But since I have been there before and have had a good time with other bartenders, I'd go back. read more

Thought we'd try this place out on our way home from Labor Day weekend, we're very happy with this place. Had the sandbar wrap and a chicken sandwich and they were amazing! Will definitely be back if we ever get in the area again. read more

I would not waist my time. Almost everything there frozen in a bag kinda food. Nothing fresh. Well the salad and that was a joke. And it took forever to even get service. Waited almost 29 minutes before our waitress came over. They were more interested in talking at the bar and making drinks. It's nothing special.. read more

We went here a couple of weeks ago while in the area. Took a while for the server to take our drink order. We ordered a couple of appetizers and our food. The food came but we never got the appetizers so we told her to forget about them. I ordered the "The Best Grilled Cheese" as they put it and it was anything but that. The bread was barely grilled. It wasn't even browned. Boneless wings were on special that night so my sister and husband ordered them. My husband got the dry rub jerk wings which looked more like a frozen chicken nugget out of a bag. The dry rub was in a condiment cup to dip your chicken into it. It wasn't even on the boneless wings. My sister ordered hers tossed in the parm/garlic sauce and got hers in a small cup also. read more

If I could give the service here no stars, I would. I have never been treated with such disregard by any waitstaff as I had the night I dined here. I would have a further review of the food if we had actually been served. We placed an order of burgers on their "burger" night, and to no end, after 45 minutes, hadn't heard so much as an, "I'm sorry for the wait", or "it's coming right out". After everyone around us had been served entirely...we decided to leave. With which they still charged me for my drink... No thanks. read more
