Food was good. Chowder was great. Martinis were great. Outside seating area was relaxing. Service was quick/attentive. We'll be back.

It's nice to have a restaurant like this close by, but they are just shy of what they could be. When we come here, we know it's going to be a bit more pricey than other equally good restaurants, but we don't have to drive to Grand Rapids so that helps. Service is always a little slow, took us about 15 minutes to get a drink. They had to track down the Hendricks. When things like that happen, it's always a good idea to let guests know the hold up in advance while they wait rather than leave them at their table wondering. We both got burgers for lunch today, which are always good here. However, when we asked for some things to be left off of the burgers we were told that they are served open faced to make things easier on the line cooks and to pick off what we don't want. If I'm spending $21 on a burger, I'm hoping you can go to the trouble of not leaving onions and pickles on it rather than make me re-create my own burger. Hopefully they will become a little more guest forward as they continue to try to grow as a restaurant. read more

Arrived with a group of motorcycles to an empty restaurant, were told they didn't know if they could seat us, very rude, dirty looks from the two young girls at the hostess stand. Each biker, working productive members of the community! The disrespectful attitudes of this staff was unnecessary and unacceptable! I will tell everyone I know to avoid this establishment! read more

Service was decent, ambiance is nice, food was underwhelming and very bland. I had the chicken sandwich it was dry and flavorless and very under seasoned. The breading has also started to burn it was cooked so long. My friend had a burger and it was edible to say the least. read more

Loved eating here! We made a reservation on open table for 3 people and were seated immediately. The tables were spaced apart and all the staff wore masks and had extras at the host desk in case you forgot yours. I tried the striped bass special and enjoyed it SO much! I also ordered a side of the Lobster Mac and it was super tasty with actual chunks of lobster in it. I would definitely recommend this place! I look forward to visiting in the summer to check out their patio seating:) read more

Attended a private dinner meeting last week. Staff and food were very good seem like a great place for a summer hangout

We've been to Sandy Point Beach House many times to celebrate birthdays with my parents and for New Year's Eve last year. Our reservation time has always been promptly honored and the staff have been attentive even during the busy holiday season. The beet salad is amazing, practically a meal in itself! My husband always orders it and I always steal a bite. I wish they offered a smaller version of it on the menu! The scallop features vary by night and are expertly cooked when I've ordered it. We usually opt for the salmon or scallops. The menu varies slightly from season to season to account for what's in season for local produce. We've never had a bad meal at SPBH! read more

I came here with my family after going to the beach it is a pretty chill vibe. The food didn't take too long and was pretty good. I got their pretzel it was massive and very good. My only complaint would be the margarita pizza which was not very good, but it got taken out of the check. Our server (Olivia) was very kind and checked in on us frequently. I think our family would love to come back in the future! read more

Very good experience! Our server was on top of our party of 5. The setting is cute and we can't wait to come back for the outdoor entertainment. The food was very good. Prices range from $16-30 for most entrees. read more

We came for brunch on a beautiful Saturday morning. They accepted a reservation, but it was not really necessary, as the place was not busy until after12 noon. There is plenty of outdoor seating under tents and it felt Covid-comfortable in all ways: we could distance from other tables and within our party, staff wore masks(correctly) silverware was wrapped, etc. I had the BLT, which was fresh and good. The bacon was thicker than I like and so, when cooked crispy, was tough to chew and rather sharp, instead of crunchy. The chips were fresh and crispy, and came with a dipping sauce (Russian dressing?) and catsup. The unsweetened iced tea was good. Service was very good. Copious parking. Nothing knocked my socks off or made me want to return the next day, however. It would be good for large groups of families with children. read more

Food was OK, drinks a bit expensive considering that the atmosphere is kind of dull. Been to each location 3 times hoping things would improve. Very good wait staff and bartenders though. read more

We had a reservation and we were seated outside. Beautiful atmosphere with wonderful music playing. We had the Cajun Shrimp Fritters and the Pierogies as an appetizer. They were both so so delicious. I had a panic attack before we ordered dinner and our server SOPHIA was absolutely amazing. Very kind, thoughtful, and encouraging. I was there for my birthday and she even offered me to take a dessert home. She made an uncomfortable situation easier, and I will be back when we visit again next week because the food was yummy and the staff is great! read more

Great place. With both indoor and outdoor dining. Large tent for big groups. Sandy for very relaxed feel. Looks nice on the outside but very beachy and upscale on the inside. Thank you. Had the omelette, great food. read more

Went for a quick lunch. Hour and 30 minutes later still no lunch served. (Not really lunch hour at 130pm) Mind you we ordered 2 salads and a wrap within the first 30 mins of sitting down. The table next to us ordered 15mins after us and got their food first. When we asked about that we were told by our server with an attitude that they've been slammed since they have been open. While we only saw 5 tables with people at them while we were there. And only one large 6 person party. Food finally came out cold. Great outdoor area and usually great food. But very disappointed with this experience read more

I would maybe recommend this place. Only problem is the food is way too overpriced. The service was ok. It was pretty quick and our server was nice. The ambience was also good. They had someone singing. The nice outdoor open area is nice. read more

As usual everything was great. Takeout burgers this time. But ready and warm ..........its hard to write

Sandy Point is great, I'm just so sad that the weekend I visited was a dreary and rainy one, because I would've loved to sit outside! As a visitor from the city of Chicago, I was surprised to find how many places in this area *do not* serve alcohol during breakfast and brunch hours, but that's part of the charm of taking a trip to a new town, I suppose! I couldn't find much information online about their drinks, so I called to ask, and the girl on the phone cheerfully said "yes, we serve alcohol for breakfast!" Hopefully my review is a little helpful for those visiting and looking for a brunch drink! ;) On this particular Saturday morning, we were so pleased to see how adorable Sandy Point looked, even in the dreary and foggy weather. It is truly beachy inside and out, with a lot of parking space, patio seating, and natural light inside as well. They've got a great brunch menu, and I went with a mimosa and the Eggs Benedict with crab cakes. I'm a big Benedict fan, and was expecting this to be one of the best Bennies, because I love crab cakes a lot. The combination, in theory, sounds insanely great! Unfortunately, these didn't come with any hollandaise (which is totally my mistake for not catching that on the menu) but that's one of the best parts of the meal, so I missed having it. The side salad was a nice touch, though! My boyfriend ordered the same thing but with a side of their bacon, and they make their bacon in a unique way here. He absolutely loved it and said it was the best bacon he's ever had. I'll definitely try to visit again the next time I'm in town, because I loved the ambience and their menu has SO many great options that I'm dying to try. I also want to see Sandy Point when it's sunny and warm outside. Thank you for the great visit! read more

Wow! What a gem! I highly recommend Sandy Point. My husband had the classic burger and it was cooked perfectly. I had the beet salad with salmon and it was delicious. We started with the seafood chowder. It was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to come back! read more

My husband had the scallops and I the full rack of ribs. My ribs came with parmigiana fries and grilled asparagus. A wonderful drink of cherry brandy, homemade lemonade and topped with a brandied cherry. A must try! read more

Food was very good Service was excellent Ambiance was ok. We were there early in the season so that may have affected it a bit. But, you rate how it was when we were there. read more

Had my husband's birthday dinner here with a couple friends and everything was delicious. Blood orange margaritas were perfect, martinis were extra dirty, appetizer was awesome, husband's steak was cooked perfectly, my mussels were amazing, paella awesome, and etouffee was delicious. Carrot cake was just okay, but that's only because I make a carrot cake myself that cannot be compared to in my husband's opinion. Thank you, Sandy Point, for a great night out with friends. read more

Sadly, the buffet on Easter Sunday was very disappointing. For $38 pp, we expected quality food. The "hot" dishes were cold. The prime rib was rare. The ham was brown. I could go on, but it's not necessary. It seems that the kitchen was overwhelmed. read more

Another fine meal tonight, this time takeout burgers and fries. One classic with GF bun and the pub burger. Onion bacon jam on the pub was excellent. read more

Nice restaurant. Good apps and a good selection of cocktails and wine. We had a large party and everyone enjoyed their meal. Prices didn't seem to unreasonable either. read more

2 Stars is favorable. Let me start by saying the place was not busy. Waited 2 hours for food. Had to ask if they could at least bring the kids food out as they were starving at this point. Which resulted in a plate being literally dropped in front of my daughter with a burnt kids pizza on it. I thought the server accidentally dropped it because it was hot or something until he slammed my sons plate down in front of him even harder. My wife immediately went to go talk to a manager. While she was gone our food was brought out were the server totally lost it. He started name calling and left our food on the deck railing and walked off. The server was let go that night. Crazy course of events. Manager gave us a new server now 2.5 hours into our night and offered a free desert and a gift card for 15- 20% off the bill... We had people in the group feeling uncomfortable eating their food as they didn't trust the server at this point. They were simply given a to go box. For a place that serves $30-40 plates I would have expected a different response from the manager. read more

First and second time dining here. Went twice in a matter of a week to see if things would change. The drinks (alcoholic) were fantastic and I would definitely go back again for those! The food was not on par with the price point. The steak and frites, Ny strip, and hamburger we ordered were all almost well done when ordered med rare. The halibut was also over cooked and dry. I understand the increase in price of the meat because of supply and demand right now. I am looking forward to dining here again once COVID is over. read more

Party of 12 + and our server was phenomenal. All of our meals were great. The Buddha bowl was amazing and the wine was delicious. Recommend this place! read more

Forget it. This use to be a great place to eat and have banquets Service was good Seated right away with reservation Split Wedge Salad with my wife Dressing was minimal and even after getting more was tasteless Minimal Toppings on salad Worst one I ever had Seafood Chowder should be named Potato Soup because that's what it was 98% potato 1% carrot 1% something unidentifiable but had the texture of fish or seafood $9/bowl No table bread Music too loud Fortunately my wife said her Pierogies were the best has ever had read more

I am so disgusted with this restaurant. They took our reservation and after spending $20 on an uber they were closed! Worst mismanagement of a restaurant ever. I then called the west olive location to get an understanding of why we were able to reserve at this location and they hung up on me. Do NOT go here! Rude. read more

First the meatballs app was fantastic and probably should of got the pasta plus meatballs as an entree. Instead I went for the Budda Bowl and Ahi. It was pretty good. Menu is wide ranging and prices also vary to fit every budget. Cool outdoor area and live music Thursday - Sunday. read more

Pierogis were the best part of the meal. Chicken Caesar was served on a small appetizer plate with burnt chicken, the plate size made it impossible to cut up the romaine halves and chicken without it making a huge mess. Skip the watery corn soup. So many better options in the area. Service was slow as well and the restaurant was rather loud. read more

Prices too high for the quality of the food. Very nice atmosphere so wish it were 20% less on food prices.

Food was great but service was horrible Server was very friendly but not very attentive We ordered burgers server gave us choices of fries, chips, or tots but didn't inform us that they cost extra Wine had three sips in glass... When we were ready to go waiter passed our table six times and never acknowledge us when we tried to get his attention he had four tables.... It will be a long time before we go back and try again read more

The service was good. The atmosphere was great. The food was not good. We have eaten here many times and enjoyed our meals. Tonight, the halibut was over cooked and "fishy". The meatball appetizer was cold and over cooked...what happened Sandy Point?! read more

Casual atmosphere with truly fine dining. The bacon wrapped dates, Italian meatballs, strawberry/walnut/goat cheese salad with added salmon filet, and apple rum cake all were excellent. Great selection of hand-crafted cocktails as well as wines by the glass and bottle. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

My visit today with my daughter was disappointing . Early dinner basically reveals they are not graceful transitioning to dinner service . Slow or no response initially when I was seated . When I indicated a need to be recognized & get a water the first waitress was borderline rude with a kind of " why are you bothering me attitude . Food was mediocre , salmon was pretty good but lime rice was cold & tasteless , seemed like it was old or leftover . My daughter said her fish tacos were "OK " . Just in general a ho hum kind of this cost me a hundred bucks with no alcohol ? Geeez I will. not be back soon read more

Beautiful setting near the lake. The service was very good and the food hit the spot nicely! Our French dip sandwich came well prepared and the bun was incredible fresh. Started with a great seafood chowder in a very think broth. Lunch was accompanied by a refreshing mimosa as well. Highly recommend this place and we will be back to enjoy some live entertainment next time. read more

First visit brought us back the following weekend. Brunch/breakfast is a MUST DO! We met the chef, Oscar, who was fluent in gluten free options and modifications. He created our brunch plates on a made-to-order basis. Bravo, Oscar! They know what is gluten free and modify dishes as needed. Romero served us both evenings with timeliness, kindness, and warmth. Enjoyed both indoor and outdoor dining; outdoors on the deck for a reggae band. They have a botchy ball area, space to dance, put your feet in the sand, an outdoor bar and clean indoor facility. Food was great on both occasions! We had most of their appetizers, no gluten free crackers available. Plastic cups for outdoor cocktails are quality plastic to offset the fact your drinking out of plastic. Unable to see the lake or much of the bayou but the overall atmosphere offsets that fact. A large screen outdoors provides the view of the lake...good place to catch a regatta in the area. read more

Went with a party of 8 and was told that we couldn't be sat at all due to a party of 15 coming. We asked if it would be fine to have two tables of 4 and they shared that it would overwhelm their kitchen. Wouldn't have been as upset however they seated the party of 6 that came in after us. Appeared to be due to our party having children and the party of 6 did not. The whole situation was confusing due to the restaurant looking quite empty. Was grateful to find another location nearby that happily took our business. read more

Great food. Great setting. Great service. 2 stars for how appalling the music was. Please hire real musicians. I don't know if this guitar and key player were drunk, high or both but this was probably the worst dinner music I've ever heard. They were trying (and failing) to figure most songs out off mic before each hit, and pretty much didn't play a single thing correctly the entire time we were there then laughed about it on stage. I'm sorry to be blunt but it was just really really bad. There are thousands of qualified musicians in this area who would kill for this gig and do a good job. I ended up eating faster and couldn't enjoy my anniversary out of sheer anxiety for what these "performers" were about to completely butcher next. People notice. Hiring good talent matters. Do better. read more
