Mr. Happy is amazing! I loved our waitress Jordan Kowalski she is so amazing!!! Heard the food is great too

This place is perfect for an afternoon at the beach! It you are able to sit outside on tables right on the sand overlooking the water and my son was able to play in it when he was son eating. I ordered the fish tacos, my husband had a grilled cheese, and my son had a hot dog. Nothing blew our minds but they have typical beach food with beach prices and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was also excellent! read more

Fun vibes for a beach day. Yes it is somewhat touristy but I am a tourist and it hit the spot. The painkiller killed all pain and the frozen lemonade was refreshing! Great selection of beers and drinks. Shoutout to our waiters for the awesome reccs and letting our chaotic big group feel welcomed! The food hit the sport but The blackened swordfish sandwich was freaking killer! I'd like 10million of those and eat these every single day. It was easily one of the best swordfish sandwiches I've EVER had! read more

A bartender named Cory told us it would be quicker to open a tab when we ordered oysters and drinks so I did thinking he was being kind but then the oysters never arrived. When I tried asking what happened he kept ignoring us. So we were basically scammed into opening a tab. Moral of the story: DO NOT OPEN A TAB read more

Decent size restaurant right on the beach. We passed by on it on our way to the beach. We decided to stop for a drink as we were leaving the beach. Unfortunately we missed their $1 class from 3-5. The staff was super friendly. We checked wait time for a table. We were told about 45 min. My boyfriend went and stood online for cocktails. I was standing (and probably in the way of staff-there was no where really to go) right near a station where the waitresses were filling waters, I ask for two and they gladly handed them to me (even with a smile) We ended up securing two barstools on the rail, so we did end up telling them to take us off the list. We ordered the 1/2 lb shrimp cocktail and 1/2lb oysters. OMG! AMAZING! I'm not usually a huge oyster fan, these were delicious. They were shucking them right behind us. The shrimp were huge. I tried a pain killer. It was ok. I also had a puna cold, that hit the spot. read more

We visited the Sandbar twice during a recent visit to Nantucket, both of which were so much fun! I had fish tacos the first time and a swordfish sandwich the second time - highly recommend both! The atmosphere was lively, breezy, and truly felt like vacation, especially with a piña colada, a painkiller, or a mudslide in hand! The Sandbar was also kid and pet-friendly and had some pretty cool merch too! read more

fun and friendly beach bar atmosphere with kid friendly areas. easily accessible to the beach so it's a short walk for snacks, cocktails or souvenir merchandise! Lou was our server for lunch and quickly filled each request. read more

Make no mistake Jetties is definitely a tourist trap with a captive audience readily arriving in droves . The beach front location is lovely and has also drawn me back for repeat visits . The vibe is lively and fun and buck-a-shuck oysters are great. I just wish every drink I've ever ordered wasn't vastly underwhming and cloyingly sweet. read more

A little disappointed as we came from Michigan and wanted to have dinner down by the beach. Took the wave out there to find out that they had a private event......they could have posted it on their website. There were several of us they went out there to have to turn around and come back. One group paid for an Uber. read more

Are we fucking serious. I mean shoot me in the damn foot. Sit down right, order some drinks everything's going smoothly. Next thing I know we throw in food. Get a tender and fries for 20 bucks and I didn't get my food till the table was done eating. SO NOW. I'd say I'm a wee bit mad angry everything death. Then waiter complains that she "busted her ass" to get me my food. YEAH OKAY. We then get checks with random things we didn't get on it. All jumbled. I'd rather go to eat mud than eat at this place again. read more

The drinks were amazing, the atmosphere was awesome - can't beat lunch on the beach. My food was good, especially the clam chowder. My friend's clam po boy was a little weird, but it was okay. All of the food looked fantastic and the servers were attentive and super nice, even in the summer heat! read more

I really liked this casual restaurant. It's right on Jetties Beach which makes it great for grabbing lunch while your there! I love Nantucket, I feel very safe, so I just leave my towel and chairs on the beach while I'm eating. Pets are welcome for outside seating. Its casual, comfy and tasty (not the healthiest) food. I loved their wings! They also have a great grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. You can eat literally on the sand at tables, in colorful adirondack chairs or on their patio. There is a parking lot but it can fill up during good beach days. Casual attire, shoes required. For lunch and dinner Occasional live music at dinner too read more

Are you going for top quality food and service at great value? If so not the spot. If you want to hang out by a top tier beach, enjoy the views and people watching and have a beer then you are at the right spot. If you are at the beach and want a quick bite I would suggest the togo window. The food is basic but decent. I took a look around the kitchen and was busy and not so sure how clean. If you need a restroom break head back through the shop building. The oysters are cheaper and on menu but not sure I would try them there. Could not see shucking or how fresh they were. Good spot for a swim break. read more

This is a fantastic location. Right on the beach and perfect view of the sunset. We had planned to just sit and have drinks and got there about an hour and a half before close and got a table within 15 minutes. We had enjoyed the atmosphere and weren't told until we ordered a 2nd round at last call that we were also required to order food. We ordered just one app for a group of 4 and received the dirtiest look from the server. I was ready to respond by saying that information should've been told to us when we put our name in and not at last call if it was such a big deal. We had still spent $75 on drinks alone so not sure what difference a $12 app makes at 7:45pm when you close at 8. Definitely worth going for the view but just be mindful of this unspoken rule. read more

Sandbar at Jetties Beach - Seafood Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

I feel like Sandbar is iconic Nantucket, if you've visited Nantucket you've been here. My take, is that if you want to feel like you checked all the boxes that you hit all the touristy spots, then sure, go to Sandbar. If you're at the beach and you're hungry and don't feel like walking to town, perfect spot. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. I've ended up dining here at least five times over the years, because it's a great location for kids. Tons of kid friendly options and right on the beach. I got the street corn and I definitely won't be having it again, it was absolutely loaded with messy crema that really just masked the flavor of the corn. The clam chowder was just okay. For a spot right on the beach on an east coast island, I'd expect more. The fried fish however is wonderful no matter how you have it, I loved the tacos and the fish and chips, the fries were great. If you go here please get the fish tacos, seriously. The desserts are hoodsie cups and popsicles, I'd recommend the short walk to Juice Bar. The service is average. The busy ambiance is fun if you're into that, but I see it more as an hour wait for an average American meal. If you plan on going to Nantucket more than once, go here and have it be a one and done. read more

Sandbar at Jetties Beach - Clam chowder, street corn, fish tacos - Seafood Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

I have Picture this: A seemingly endless stretch of sand with just enough seagulls to remind you of nature's indifference to your beachside mojito. The drinks? Generous, much like your uncle's vacation stories. The food? A pleasant mishmash of sea and land fare that's more adventurous than my last research paper. But let's get to the point - the views. Oh, the views! Endless horizons that might make you ponder your life choices, right before another cocktail interrupts that train of thought. Service is usually friendly, with just enough delays to remind you that time's a construct, man. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's like a beachside symposium minus the intellectual debate. Bring your shades, but leave your existential questions at home. They don't tip well. read more

Sandbar at Jetties Beach - View from the Sandbar - Seafood Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

We were spending the day at this fantastic beach and got a bit hungry. Their lunch menu is super limited and as we were just tired of fried food this week, we opted for clam chowder. It tasted like doctored up canned soup. I wished we had brought our own food! I gave it one star because it had a really nice fun vibe. I think we may have liked the dinner menu and wished they had better offers at lunch. read more

Food was great, atmosphere was great. Sold me a full lobster and then didn't have crackers to get after the claws. Still charged full price with nothing more than a "sorry oh well. Can I bring you dessert?" Half of my $50 lobster went to waste because they didn't have the right tools and then didn't even bother with a discount or a sincere apology or anything. Really frustrating on my last night of vacation. Sour taste walking out with a $100 check feeling cheated. read more

Great place for fun drinks - a must visit while on the isle of Nantucket. You need to try Mr. Happy..

Anyone that doesn't like this place, is on crack. It has the most laid back, gorgeous views. There are tables inside and outside with a clear view of Jetties beach. The service is impeccable and the servers are at your beckon call every moment. They are the friendliest servers on island. We had the oysters, mr happy cocktail, fishers island lemonade, fish and chips and fish tacos and everything was DELICIOUS. The cocktails are fresh and simple - I loved them. If you're not happy when you are here, you won't be happy anywhere. One of the most reasonably places spots on the island and they always have oysters for a $1 from 3-5pm. I highly recommend stopping by for lunch. GREAT spot and the food and drinks are 5 stars. read more

Exactly what you'd expect! Vibes are good, food and drinks are delicious. We had a lobster roll, shrimp tostada, and fish tacos. Shrimp tostada is spicy so beware! We also got the sandbar sunset and a mudslide and both were deliciousssss. We got drinks and sat on the chairs to watch the sunset before we got our table. !!! You cant order food past 8!!!!! read more

Rude service, I covered my face with my towel to speak the hostess outside because my mask got soaked at the beach. I was standing outside when we spoke, she kept asking me "huh?" "Huh?" Huh?", so I slid my towel down a bit so she could hear me. She then rudely asked me to have someone else with a mask on speak to her, when I was clearly 6 ft away I understand we are in tough times, but come on, really? There are other people that walking around the place without masks. Won't be spending my money here. read more

Absolutely delectable. This is my second time going and it's just as amazing as ever. Food is fairly priced for down here, and there is no lack of quality. The service is good and moderately fast, which is still impressive for the 200+ people dining here at a time. Perfect for all ages, there is a beach and a playground, and the location is absolutely perfect. 10/10 read more

Love this place but it's definitely gone downhill since it changed ownership. The food used to be so good and now it's just run of the mill bar food. What happened to the caprese salad with bartlett tomatoes or the lobster salad? Such a bummer. Buck a shuck is still fun though. We just do that now and get drinks and fries! Oh well. read more

Great bar to stop into after you leave the beach. Delicious frozen drinks. I'm taking off a star because buck a shuck lasts until 5pm - we sat down next to the raw bar at a bar seat at 4:30 - and asked probably 5 different people for our waiter so we could order. (Can't order directly at the raw bar) Each person kept saying the bar back would come around soon....literally 5pm on the dot someone comes to take our order & says unfortunately we couldn't do the buck a shuck. read more

Brand new rockin' menu! Great location!! Cute gift shop with tons of toys and gear for the beach. Delicious food! Had the Cuban sandwich and the street corn. YUM!! Will definitely be back! read more

So much fun! Great bar, great food and great service! Loved the bartender named Mary and our server named Bella - both were so nice and attentive. Buck a shuck was fun too! Views of the ocean were incredible! read more

Great fish tacos! Great service! We were catching the ferry late to go back to the cape and knew the stores were going to be closed. We asked if we could have some lime wedges to go-kind of an annoying request But we "needed' then for our cape codder drinks. The waitress said no problem and gave us some wedges without charging us. She was great. We will be back again! read more

Most amazing fish and chips! Beautiful place to watch the sunset. Painkiller drinks were fab! Start your ACK vacation here!

Great location. Drinks are served in plastic cups, which is why I took away a star. Drinks are good.

Great location and atmosphere. Beautiful sunset on the beach while lounging in chairs. The service leaves a lot to be desired. The bartenders are unprofessional and drinking heavily while ignoring customers. Not to mention it's $16 for a tiny frozen drink and $60 for a sweatshirt. But that's Nantucket, I guess. read more

Sandbar at Jetties Beach - Sunset - Seafood Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

I love sandbar. The whole vibe of the restaurant and experience; food and beverage either in sand or on the deck. Sandbar has it all, ocean views, family friendly environment, great food, drinks, merch and affordable prices. I have been a regular customer for years with my family of 3, and has always been a spot I recommend to tourists and friends to visit while they're on island. Every visit we are always delighted by the positive energy each staff member brings to our overall experience. Each of them are so personable, helpful, kind, and attentive. It was, until, this past week we were served by a young lady named Ella. The whole time she waited on us, we felt as if we were bothering her- her attitude was horrible, unkind, and neglecting. I am unsure why someone this rude would be in the service industry to begin with because, after all, the rest of the staff at Sandbar always ensures you have a wonderful time. I feel sad that she made us feel so badly, especially because we brought our in laws for their first time, and we had spoken so highly about the restaurant and staff. It was such a shame- this girl should seek jobs that do not involve customer service. My star review is for this particular evening read more

Had the best time here! Great server named Ethan. We were blown away by his kindness and attentiveness. This place is always great, but the service this time was particularly great. We got the sandbar sunset and gripahs. As a Nantucket regular I highly recommend!!! read more

Amazing blacked swordfish sandwich! The service was great and the view of the water was the frosting on the cake.

ive been coming to this establishment for 10+ years and have loved my experience every time until today... I wanted to support this local business by buying some cute merchandise but when I went to check out there was an astonishingly rude and incompetent older woman working amongst a bunch of young teenagers. I was informed her name was LD, she took up 10 extra minuets of my time to complain about her job and boss around younger workers in an unacceptable tone. When I learned she was not a manager but held the same job title as these young kids and was treating them with such disrespect, I was very surprised one of my favorite restaurants on ACK would hire and allow such a rude woman to continue working here. The teens around her seemed to work much harder, be more mature and care for the costumers much more. I still love sandBar but leaving there today after my experience with such a negative woman made me want to write this review for the children working around her sake. read more
