Bar and grill

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great food, awesome drinks and live music with access to the beach. What more could you want. If it's packed like when I went after 6pm, expect a wait in the parking lot and send someone in early to order food and find a table as soon as you get there. People often mention beach, music, live, great, good, drink, night, drinks, atmosphere, band,

    This is a very popular spot that's right on the beach. The atmosphere is pretty fun and the best part is the live music. The band is pretty good, and there's also a dj that plays in between sets. The crowd here is pretty diverse, with everyone just having a good time dancing and enjoying the music. The lines for drinks and food are separate and are usually pretty long. I was not particularly impressed with the food, I got chicken fingers and French fries, and my friend got a wrap with sweet potato fries. The drinks were OK. If you come earlier in the day you'll will. need to pay $40 for parking, which is probably why it's so crowded later at night when the parking is free.

    The salt shack is a seaside beach restaurant with outstanding views, live entertainment, and excellent food. Most beach restaurants serve up greasy overpriced hamburgers and the like, but Salt Shack is a welcome exception. The menu offers up all the traditional beach food and then some. Salt Shack also includes a good selection for kids and platters to share at a table. The drink and cocktail list are long and quite good again at a fair price. The event calendar is pack full of live music almost every day. Parking is free after 5:00 PM (this is a town beach). Today Jo had the Bacon cheeseburger and I, a large Grilled chicken Caesar Salad. The cheeseburger arrived nestled on a soft bun and not the least bit soggy with lettuce, tomato. The Grilled Chicken Caesar was a massive bowl of fresh, crisp romaine lettuce topped with a perfectly grilled whole chicken Breast. The dressing was stock but rich, tangy, creamy, and very flavorful. Drinks consisted of Margaritas which were tangy with a good hit of Tequila. Overall a delicious seaside meal for two and under thirty bucks.

    This place has a great atmosphere and location. The night was rainy so the band was canceled but this place usually brings in a crazy huge crowd. Staff is great πŸ‘ and people still had massive fun πŸ˜€ πŸ‘

    Food was pretty good, although portions for the price were not the biggest. It tasted well, but nothing extraordinary (nor it is supposed to be in a beach bar, but still, it's rather expensive). Cocktails were completely mediocre. What I really liked though is a place itself and the fact they have live music every weekend. I went in late September, but I believe that during the summer this place is worth checking out.

    Really great venue for outdoor events. Easy to get to and decent parking. Place does get crowded. Bar prices are as expected for a beach location. Same with food. Bathrooms tend to get crowded at times. Staff is attractive and friendly.

    I'm not a fan of using plastic cups. security won't allow me to drink for a tumbler even though the drinks were from the bar. Wish that there was a way that I could bring my own cup and save fun night without spills. Food is great. Venue is amazing and overall staff is very nice.

    This is the best place for a fun night by the beach. There's great live music almost every day, the food is good and overall the place is pretty clean despite people going in and out with sandy feet. There's an indoor area with some seating, self-service bars, food counters and bathrooms that are cleaned all the time. Outdoors are a band stage, dance floor, upstairs terrace with bar and two large beach areas with seating and a play area for kids. The crowds are mixed and you'll see anything from families with kids to people aged 70+ dancing the night away. Parking is free after 16:00.

    Found was okay not restaurant quality but the atmosphere was nice. There was a band playing Deep Purple and I enjoyed the music. Nostalgic hearing this music when I was and the adult were listening to this rock band. I had a salad β€œCeasar” it was just simple and nacho were simple like the one you get at 7-11. Drink was a lemonade in a small cup. Expect to pay a decent amount of money for food you can buy at 7-11. I give this 3 star for the place next to beach and live music for food 1 star.

    Got the fish and chips after waiting in line for a while and then got a punch drink in a small plastic cup (expected more from the menu). Overall it was a fun time with good music, the bartenders were nice and nothing like eating overlooking the Sunset.

    They have a few meatless options if you only eat halal. Their nachos were good and many sea food options. Beautiful location enjoy the beach and food with live band.

  • 4/5 Karl Eric D. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 70 reviews
    Food is not their strongest attribute. The lobster roll had two small pieces of lobster and the rest was a ton of onion and celery filling. Fries were great, tacos were small. Drinks are so so, they use pre-made, roses lime syrup instead of fresh limes for their margerita's and no prosecco or champagne for any sort of spritzer so stick to the beers. But, with all that said, you can't beat the atmosphere. Live bands, tons of volleyball to watch, playground for the kids and really down to earth people. What a great spot for everyone to enjoy something.

    So this place is all about the atmosphere and location. The food is an offering of fried fare. But the beach, music, people and bar staff!!! A good time awaits.

    Everything was great! The food, the atmosphere, the band, the ambiance. The food could use a little garnishing and my lobster roll needed a little help but overall everything was good. Our drinks were delicious. The entertainment was absolutely amazing!

    Fun times at the beach and perfect settings for all occasion. Whether you want to come to the beach or listen to some music on a Sunday night it's a perfect time to bring family and all. I recommend this place because the sun sets the beach the queen beach the safety and the good food makes me come back here each and every Sunday.

    Had a blast we went to see Somethin Fresh Band perform and we partied until close. It was packed but very festive. The bar looked full but they took care of us quick. There were a lot of workers. Also the upstairs bar was much less crowded for the second round. I loved how they had the securities posted all around and they were easily identifiable. The food smelled good too but I didn't get a chance to go buy. Will be back for sure.

    Went to Salt Shack, they have live music. Food options are limited but basically what you would expect from a beach bar. Also the prices for food and drink for the views you recieve are phenomenal.

  • 5/5 LauraBr N. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place to dance, drink, and people watch amidst the sand, beach, and palm trees.

  • 5/5 Onika D. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place near the water with delicious food and a relaxing view. With a choice of indoor or outdoor dining. There is also a playground below for kids to play in the sand or can sit and enjoy the live music 🎢 playing.

    Lots of fun, great facilities! Oh the Rocket Fuel is a must have drink.

  • 3/5 Marcia S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has great live music and it has plenty of seating to accomodate a large crowd. My family lives in the East Coast and come here often, however, we visited it on Sunday and it wasn’t very pleasant. The bathroom attendant kept yelling instructions, it did look like she was on drugs. Also, the staff checking IDs were really annoying, our family had a younger member, who was 21, but got harrassed every time she had to pass thru security. It should be clear that it is a 21+ only place or adopt some sort of identification for people who already had their ID checked. It was a really uncomfortable situation and they might not even want to go back.
