When in downtown Sandusky, you can't find better food, better service, nor a better vibe than Shore House Tavern. The place radiates friendliness and you truly feel like a regular when you walk in, warmly greeted right away and taken care of the entire duration of your meal. My family had returned after a long day of theme park food and I needed something lite - and their seasonal salad was just what I needed. It was a very generous portion with some of my the sweetest strawberries I've ever had with candied walnuts, feta cheese, and a delicious vinaigrette to go along with it. Skip the theme park dining when you can - or at the very least, supplement it with this delicious cuisine and friendly service. read more

Our first night in Sandusky landed us in this small tavern right across Lake Erie. Very casual vibe and everyone was very accommodating but seemed overwhelmed. For an appetizer, we ordered the wedge salad and the Buffalo Chicken dip. I got the perch dinner for my main course. The kid got a chicken sandwich and my wife got the brisket Mac n cheese. They said that the kitchen was backed up. Honestly, it was totally not an issue. We were just relaxing, watching the game and chilling after a 7 hour drive from NJ. What was an issue was...... appetizers came out exactly the and time as the main courses. WHY????????? It couldn't have taken that long to throw blue cheese, bacon and tomatoes on a chunk of lettuce and pump out the Buffalo Chicken dip and then worry about the main courses later. Now we have to decide, do we want to eat the entrees or even touch the appetizers. That alone always ruins everything. Food was very good. Like I said, people were very nice but you just can't bring everything out at once. Defeats the point of "starting" with something. read more

Great service and food. Pizza is thin crust and delicious. Perch and Salmon were both delicious as well. Kids both loved it too, which is huge! read more

The food was great. We both had a burger. Best burgers we've had in a long time! We'd happily go here again next time we're in town!

Very Close to a rented condo, we tried it out of convenience and we're so happy we did! Drew, our server was fantastic, made several recommendations and every one of them were spot on. If you don't try their blackened grouper sandwich or tacos you will miss out. The wings were great as were the sweet potato tots. The magician behind the curtain in the Kitchen is Nate. Give him the props he deserves as everything was top shelf! Loved the nostalgia of the newspaper print basket liners (way to show class without being pricey). If you go here and do not enjoy the stop, please blame me, I deserve it! read more

Wow I feel bad for people who live in Sandusky... worst Mac and cheese I have ever had. Served cold and honestly just tasted like shit. Yikes... never again. Service was good tho, nice guy. read more

From Massachusetts we were visiting relatives in Sandusky and stopped for a pub type early dinner here on a Monday so it wasn't crowded at the time. Our bartender/server was very friendly and attentive. He made some good beer and drinks recommendations. My wife's Mac & Cheese with bacon and my lake perch dinner with fries were outstanding. Their fries are very unique sliced as thin as a snap pea and were deliciously crisp and tasty. I definitely agree with the rating reviews I had read at 4.6. I'd give them a full 5.0 because their prices were very inexpensive for the beer, manhattan and dinners. Great value. read more

This is a great spot for a drink or a meal. It is located in the heart of downtown Sandusky. If you are coming here and new to the area, be sure to leave some time before or after to stroll the area. It is right on Lake Erie and there are several unique restaurants, bars, and shops to explore. Shore House offers My staple here is the buffalo chicken dip appetizer and the perch dinner. If you are spending the day at Cedar Point, this area is a short drive and a good way to end the evening. Shore House has a good selection of beers and it is also a great place to watch a game. I definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Drew the bartender was fantastic, accurate and paced the meal perfectly. The BBQ brisket pizza is so good we came back twice for it, as well as the wings. Both great. We also got the meat lovers and it was great as well. If you only come for the pizza and wings you will be more than satisfied. The prices are very reasonable compared to everywhere else we went too. We eat out way more than we should so when I tell you it's a solid place take it to heart. Well done Shore House. read more

Service is friendly & great, but when we visited they were out of multiple menu items which condensed their already petite menu!

Drew did an excellent job. Good was great. We've never been here before but this def won't be the last! read more

Good service. Got the blackened grouper tacos and a side of fries and it was really good

Absolutely delicious! Great service, excellent food highly recommend! Last minute stop and so happy we did. Will definitely return.

This was a cute little place that had a bar area along with indoor seating for high top and low top tables. It was clean and set up well for flow of patrons. We got there at 11 am and it was empty but by 1130 it was over half full. Bartender was friendly and allowed my friend to try several different beers on tap and was patient as we decided what to eat. This place had one of my very favorite drinks which is Cider Boys so that alone gave this place a leg up for me! We ordered shrimp tacos which had good flavor and shrimp was tender and a fair portion size. We also ordered a blackened grouper sandwich with American cheese and sweet potato tots. The fish had wonderful flavoring and I really liked the seasoning...not too salty not too spicy and the portion of sweet potato tots was huge. Price was fair but as we all know prices just keep going up! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area for sure. read more

We went here after reading glowing reviews and it did not live up to expectations. The food was not good and the service was barely passable. It had a nice atmosphere and the staff was friendly, but slow. My brisket Mac and cheese tasted like microwave chili Mac. It is clear they are just heating up frozen premade food. Do not go here if you want a good meal. read more

My friends and I decided to stop in here after a long day of riding coasters at Cedar Point! When we walked in we were greeted by one of the wait staff. Our waiter was Brad. He has an interesting personality that took us a bit to get use to. He did a great job at our table and was always on top of it! Our table ordered a lot of stuff! We had 3 appetizers. 2 buffalo chicken dips and their 7 layer dip. All of which were really good. We had an array of food from wings, burgers, lobster roll and chicken and waffles. The best thing by far was the chicken and waffles. I've had a lot of chicken and waffles but this place had one of the best I've ever had. The waffles were made of a special batter that made them amazing. I am not sure if they were worth 24$ but they were amazing. The lobster roll was decent but not incredible. Burgers were just okay and the fries were thin but good. Overall this place is a good bar place with great priced drinks and upscale bar food. We would come back and recommend you trying it out! read more

If i was a local here, I would probably make this a regular spot simply because of the vibes and the decent food. The service was great, very attentive and they were training at the time so I'm happy to see them doing it the right way! The Mac n cheese....hmm...this is my own fault really. I am a MNC connoisseur and I am hard to impress, sorry not sorry, but most macs are just bland lets be honest here! I was not blown away by theirs either, but the options are there so many I'd like one of their other macs. We got the one with bacon and jalapenos and I'm glad as those 2 items at least added flavor! It was super cheesy but didn't taste the cheese. We, of course, ordered perch which was AWESOME. Would definitely order again if I was a local. You HAVE to order perch while around Lake Erie! read more

We were looking for a place with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and great food -- Shore House Tavern checked all the boxes. We ordered from their extensive beer and wine list and enjoyed the calamari and sauerkraut ball appetizers. We ordered the latter on a whim, anticipating that they would be seasonally fun but not that memorable on the palette. WE WERE WRONG! Both the calamari AND Silvia's sauerkraut balls were delicious: lightly fried and coated, rich in taste, and generous portions. As an entree, we enjoyed the vegetable pizza which was described as with thin crust and 12". True to its description, the pizza came out at the perfect temperature, wonderfully thin crust, with generous, fresh ingredients. Having shared the appetizers, we also shared the pizza with two slices left over. The vibe was casual, with many widescreen TVs quietly tuned in to various (and different) sporting events. The very kind woman who took care of us was joyful and attentive. read more

What a cute little place we found. Food was good and service was great. Keep doing what your doing!

Nice little pub near Cedar Point. The skillet Mac and Cheese is well worth the stop but the fish and chips was average. Definitely better than overpriced theme park food. read more

The food at shore house never disappoints and they have something for everyone, weather it's a burger or a steak or seafood. In my estimation the service has improved to top notch. The Ambiance is casual and a great place to grab a bite before a concert at Jackson Pier. read more

The food and service were both great. We are on vacation and we were looking for someplace local to try, rather than a chain. We ordered a salad, shrimp tacos, and a children's Mac n cheese. The tacos were very flavorful and tasty. The Mac n cheese was also a hit. I was glad that it just wasn't Kraft and that it was actual Mac n cheese. I tried a couple of bites and it was delicious. If we were local, we would come back. It seemed like a fun bar atmosphere, with the trivia night that was going on. read more

This place was lovely! It's a casual and fun bar that happens to have excellent food. I got the lobster mac and cheese which was good but lacking some flavor. My table also ordered the fried perch dinner with beans and sweet potato tots, as well the blackened grouper sandwich. All of these things were amazing! There was one complaint of the perch possibly lacking seasoning as well but the rest of us disagreed. The service was also phenomenal. No real complaints other than they could go heavier on the salt & pepper! read more

Food was excellent. We went there for a early dinner I don't remember what we had but I know that it was okay. Service was a bit slow but the ambiance of being on the shoreline of the River Bay was most excellent read more

Great food & service. Nick highly recommended the blackened grouper sandwich (2 weeks ago) and it was delicious way beyond my expectations! I came back to enjoy it a second time today and had great service from Erin this time. read more

I was looking for someplace unique in Sandusky while we were there. Looking at the different yelp reviews we decided on shore House Tavern. We were not disappointed. Arriving slightly after 3:30 PM. There was only one other table that was filled. We decided to sit at the bar. Our bartender was friendly and personable and made some great recommendations for us. I decided on their Sandusky cheesesteak while my wife, their brisket tacos. I thought my cheesesteak was incredibly delicious! My wife enjoyed her tacos, but there was some meat that was a little bit rarer than she would prefer. All in all it was a great visit! read more

Great Mac and Cheese with the brisket and grilled onions. Wife had a burger and they were able to cook it to temperature and actually did a perfect MedRare! read more

Let me start by saying they have a very interesting beer selection. They had a mango wheat, a pretzel wheat, an orange chocolate blonde and a peanut butter milk stout just to name a few. I had the mango wheat, it was very good. Had a wheat beer taste but you could absolutely Taste the mango as well. Hubs tried the orange chocolate blonde and really enjoyed it. We ordered two flatbreads - the pineapple brisket and the lobster roll. Both of these were excellent! No lacking on the lobster!! Lots of tvs - good place to see the game We do not live close, but if we did, this would be a great place for food and to watch a game. My only complaint was Erin, the bartender. Her personality was not good. She was a downer read more

If you're looking for a typical bar food stop this place is it. They have good beer and average bar food. We had a burger, fries and shrimp tacos it was decent but nothing we'd go out of our way for. The service was very friendly and the ladies were very polite and fast, the bar itself was clean and up to date. read more

Menu was unique and different Ambience 100 out of 100 the full view glass garage doors provide beautiful view of lake. It was a few weeks before their winter close. Watching the sunset was beautiful. Thought it was cold outside the girls had to go out to get a selfie it was warm and comfortable inside. Although the waiter got our checks mixed up he was his service and humor were good. Looking forward to returning in spring. read more

We were heading to the New Sandusky Fish Company for lunch but they closed!!!!! What a bummer. We ended up eating here, no complaints except for the server with long black hair. The blonde was really nice. Good Bloody Mary's. The food was delicious. The sweet potato tots with remoulade sauce was out of this world! The perch and burger were also very good. read more

Great service, nice vibe! Loved this place! Great venue for a Saturday funday! Downtown Sandusky has so much going on! Give it a try!

Stopped at Shore House Tavern for a Sunday lunch on our way home after vacationing at Cedar Point. It was well worth the stop. My spouse had what he said was one of the best burgers he's ever had. It was juicy with fresh toppings, 'messy and wonderful, like a burger should be,' he said. I had the blackened walleye tacos, which were outstanding and the portion was ample. I could not finish them all. We had fried calamari for an appetizer and it was great. My daughter had fried shrimp and raved about them as well. The service was excellent and the dining area was clean and nicely arranged so you can watch TV above the bar or visit without loud music. Nothing fancy, but you come for the food. read more
