Great place to eat! Super friendly staff. Doggies welcome. Handicap ramp was long but easy to get up. Bathroom was huge and easy to move around in. View of the river awesome! Definitely coming back next time.

I have been eating lunch here weekly for the last 3 months. The food has been nothing but first class. I lost a receipt for a meal. I need it for an expense report. The owner took care of it herself. Before my meal was out she had my replacement receipt. The staff is friendly and super helpful even when there slammed at lunch. My go to is the grilled catfish and shrimp with sweet potato fry’s.

The food was amazing, I ordered the fried green beans which were the amazing part. The “mixed greens” salad was just spinach and some other greens. The ranch dressing was fabulous as was the vinaigrette for my salad. The atmosphere was interesting and unique. Off the beaten path and would recommend visiting.

My boyfriend and I took our dogs out to eat with us on a Friday night. It wasn’t very busy, so that was nice since I have a fairly hyper puppy! It was a nice night to sit on the deck though. Good atmosphere and the food was great!

This was an amazing little spot!! The view was spectacular and the frogs and crickets were singing near the river. The balcony seating was comfortable and it was a great March evening to eat out there. My waiter made excellent recommendations and was very friendly. The fried pickles were exquisite!! I usually stay away from fried pickles because the pickles gets soggy. That was not the case with theirs. They were thin slice and fried to a perfect golden brown and brought out hot. They melted in my mouth with a delicious salty crunch. The housemade ranch was thick, creamy and delectable. It was a perfect compliment to the fried pickles. For my supper I ordered the fried catfish and shrimp basket, both sourced locally. The catfish was fresh and had no fishy taste. It was breaded in corn meal and fried to deliciousness. The shrimp was not over breaded and fried just right without over cooking the shrimp or leaving the breading soggy. Their hushpuppies were very yummy and an excellent compliment to the shrimp and cat fish. My waiter also recommended the conecuh sausage and threw in a sample piece for me to try. It was smoky and perfectly seasoned. The flavor of the sausage exploded in my mouth with each bite. Do not pass up this food experience, you will not regret it.

Visited The Sand Bar while having a day trip in Selma. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.

First, the place has a lot going for it atmospherically. It's built way up in the air. There's a patio area below the main body of the restaurant, and a porch up on stilts, both with views of the Alabama River. The inside is a little sports bar. We sat up high on the outdoor porch as it was a beautiful day.

The food was also pretty good. The fries were fresh and nicely seasoned and my boyfriend liked his wings - Frank's Red Hot! The chicken tenders had some spice in the breading that I wasn't super crazy about, but they were alright. A good size for the money. The ranch tasted like it was made in-house. Yum! Other offerings included burgers and tacos.

The down point would be the service. Our waitress wasn't terrible, but she seemed disinterested and at times came off a little cold. My main problem, though, was that she left us sitting on the patio for 25 minutes after she delivered the check. It was a nice day, but we were ready to go - it would have been better if she'd let us pay and then leave at our own discretion, rather than assuming we wanted to sit on the porch for much longer.

Overall, I'd consider returning if I was in the area - there aren't a ton of options - but it's not necessarily a place I'd crave.

The absolute BEST catfish & shrimp I've ever eaten!! Great service, super nice staff, clean restaurant & a lovely view from the outside deck. I highly recommend The Sandbar!

There are plenty of windows to take in the relaxing views.
The food is delicious.
My daughter ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich, and it was huge! She said it was very good.
I ordered their Patty Melt. It was perfect, kudos to the cooks.
Our server was awesome, I wish I could remember her name.
The atmosphere was quiet, relaxing, and very friendly.
We can't wait to go back. The Sandbar is a little out of the way, but it IS definitely well worth going to.
Check it out. Being disappointed is NOT on the menu!
