The Sand Grill - Alpena

Delicious sandwiches and good variety of cold beverages

The food exceeded my expectations. Shrimp tacos were very good. Caution: Shallow water level at docks.

This is a great place to go if you like good food, attentive waitstaff, and a nice view. Pool tables and a jukebox, a nice patio right on the lake. I got the pulled pork french fries and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. Came back the next day and got a burger and it was huge, chock full of fresh toppings, personally I love the red onion on it. Never had a bad meal there. Keno if you want to gamble a few bucks while you're enjoying your food and drinks. All around a great bar.

The bar is awesome and warm hospitality, but the food was a little bit long to wait on. Probably from short staff, but the meat on my Beef Nachos was super dry like it was reheated but sat out forever. Beer was good, and food is decent prices.

This place has the potential to be phenomenal. The perfect spot right on the lake. Dock the boat and grab dinner, a snack or a drink. Unfortunately, they currently seem to be understaffed and under-resourced. Service was slow and menu options were very limited. Hopefully they can turn around soon because this is a true local gem if managed well.
