I love sandbar its like the song I love this bar

Great burger, SUPER value pricing, great atmosphere, and amazing service. All the hallmarks of a great place to eat. - Hamburger - $9: Excellent value! Ordered with American cheese for $1 extra and it was melted nicely. It was a little heavier on the cheese and it works really well for this burger. The burger was very thick and super juicy (half pound?). I ordered it medium and it came medium. It was a bit of a slightly different flavor. I am guessing they infuse their burger with a very subtle and light sauce or butter. It was delicious. It had ketchup, mustard, pickle (I always skip pickles), and onion. The onion was a nice addition. The sauces were a bit on the heavier side and made the burger slide around a bit, but it was manageable. The bun was a perfect fit and toasted. - Skinny Fries (came with burger): Thin to medium fries, similar to shoestring fries. Though they are cut on the thinner side, they stayed warm all the way through the meal easily. They had Western Son vodka with multiple flavors. I’ve not seen this brand before. I did not try it, but it did stand out to me. They have a couple of specials. Wing Wednesday: for $6 you get 8 wings. Fish Friday: no price listed on the menu, but other menu pictures indicated about $9. Both are dine-in specials only. - Service: Amazing! My waitress was really positive and always had a smile. Super kind and helpful. She was getting me another water before I even realized I needed it. It was somewhat busy, but she was still attentive and exact with the standard time frames of follow up. I told her she was one of my favorite waitresses this year and she said she’d been doing it all her life. I can really tell. Give that woman a raise! The burger came out fairly quickly. About what you’d expect for a standard burger made to order. - Atmosphere: It looks unassuming on the outside, but definitely not on the inside. It was kept very clean. There were a number of TVs with sports and other things on. There was music playing and it was a medium to loud volume. It was 70’s rock. Strong and rich wood tones set the feel and warmth of a friendly moment shared with friends and family. They had a pool table being used with a mom and her child. There was also a lowkey biker group who also stopped by and were having a great moment together. An older couple were quietly enjoying a meal together. A couple of older ladies were laughing at the bar over drinks. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their moments. It lit up my day. It was more than a burger visit for me. Though I was alone for a quick bite, it made me slow down and appreciate life before I dove back into what I was visiting Saint Joseph for. Thanks a lot for that!! - Conclusion: I’d HIGHLY recommend this place if you are in Saint Joseph. I did a very quick and superficial search for the best burger in Saint Joseph and got more than a great burger. Their service was amazing. Visited at 1pm on a Saturday.

On 3/10/2025 Alex C. had this to say:
Service was good and food was great. Price was very affordable. I got the New England clam chowder and fish of the week basket (bluegill). Chowder was really good. The fish was excellent and hush puppies were also great. Plenty of food. Server recommended local beer that I would definitely get again. Good food, great price and great service! Thanks
