Sandbar Cafe & Kiosk

Such an expensive fish and chip shop
Came saturday for the classic cars and got a late lunch. I ordered 2 pieces cod,small beer battered chips and 2 small cokes and a small sauce tub for me and my partner and it cost me $33 !
I can get 2 seafood baskets elsewhere for that cost with drinks
Fish was larger than usual pieces,hot and nicely crumbed and golden,chips were crispy and nice and nothing was oily.
Drinks could have been colder and were just cool ,waited 20 minutes with one order in front of me
The girl serving ice cream looked tired and kept pulling "what now" faces at customers.
The girl who served me was nicer. Waited for my beeper to go off to collect order which was down below the counter i was collecting from.
Wandered across the rd to eat ,watching the cars the ocean and people, lovely spot to have fish and chips. Clean and neat but way Expensive. considering the area i suppose the customer pays.

Approximate cost: $8

Amazing fish and chips from these guys.
Took a little bit as they were so busy but the quality was great. Some of the best I have had and great that you can take it straight across the road and eat it on the beach as you watch the sunset

With a great location looking out over the beach, this cafe is a lovely place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Now the thing to remember about this cafe, is that they specialise in seafood. Sure they have burgers and other things, but the best experience comes from their seafood.

With prices ranging from $20 to $30 for a seafood meal, it is not a cheap fish and chip place, and the price is reflected in the quality.

What is more they serve up seafood in a range of different ways, from pasta to laksa, but I prefer going for the grilled fish to really enjoy the fish.

The main drawback is that they menu selection is a little small, though watch out for their specials board.

Centrally located in Caloundra with amazing views over the ocean. This is a lovely spot to stop for a quick snack or a leisurely meal. A lovely menu. Meals are well priced. Food is delicious and very fresh. Can highly recommend.

Amazing view of the ocean. Relaxing and very laid back. Love the fact we could wear thongs and casual dress.

been wanting to try this place for ages so sunday night was it lol. right across the road from the beach perfect spot to eat and watch the sunset across the water. we got a 2 pack of fish n chips ,drinks and a serve of calamari. all up around $35. we went at a perfect time early afternoon as it got packed when we were ready to leave. is always packed on sat nights and sundays lunch. well the calamari serve was quite large for $7.50 more than enough for 2 as an appetiser and they give you tubs of free sauces too aoli or bbq or tomato,small tubs but more than enough for all of the seafood. calamari was very nice, cooked perfectly, larger crumb than what im use to but was lovely,not greasy or rubbery. the fish was quite big too and the box of chips would feed mum dad and 2 kids.. the cod was thick and crumbed lightly and again not greasy. our order took less than 10 minutes and the chef sounded out our number and greeting like we were on roll call in the army lol but thats Americans for you loud :) the girls behind the till need to be friendlier and more welcoming and the drinks were'nt real cold but over all, Im going back again... was delicious and well worth it

we have been here a few times great place the staff are always friendly, and its kid friendly, they allow my to bring bubs in a pram also, the kids menu is great chicken nuggets for the kids are great my kids love them, the main meals are good sized meals for a reasonable price there coffee is really nice I love there iced coffee yummo always satisfied

Great presentation of food, very fresh. Would prefer a wider selection of food on the menu but apart from that excellent. Coffee was delicious too.

Approximate cost: $25

Approximate cost: $20

We bought ice creams here to take across to the beach. The staff were lovely and great with the kids. The place was clean and tidy and service was quick and easy. A great place to grab an ice cream.

Mixed reaction to this establishment. Service was great on one occasion but distracted the next. Meals were great, coffee and cakes range and quality good. They forgot my meal on the second occasion (even though there was only one other table to serve) and only realised when I advised them and told them to cancel the order as we were ready to leave (and I had eated the kids leftovers anyway!) and the reaction was pretty disinterested. Good coffee though!

The take awayfish and chips are lovely but are expensive especially if you are buying for a large family. Prices here have increased when new owners took over. The restaurant section have lovely meals but noise can be a problem as it is on a corner.

Approximate cost: $25

They have really nice hot chips here, its also a good place to buy ice creams or cold drinks in summer when you are at the beach, right across from the beach

Best dining experience ever! The food was sensational, best Spicy Thai Beef Salad I have ever had. The staff was extremely friendly & owner/manager, Steve always remebered us by name. Made our holiday stay in Caloundra very memorable will definately dine at Sandbar Cafe everytime we visit.

Approximate cost: $25.00

Venue a little cold and noisy in winter: table cloths would be nice, even butcher paper. Very very good seafood chowder. The food is good and staff were helpful..

Wow - we had decided we wouldn't go back to this fish and chips joint last year (different owners) - but we would have been sorry! If you thought it was getting expensive and not that nice with the old owners, go back and try again. Whilst fish is not super cheap, it is super tasty and the staff are heaps friendlier than they used to be. New owners have made this a repeat visit for us on our holiday this year - great work.

Great place for Breakfast! The food is well presented and tasty. I have stopped here a number of times and always find good service and quality food.

Approximate cost: $18

Very friendly and helpful staff. The Sandbar has amazing views across to Bribie Island. Perfect location and nicely fitted out. The food is wonderful and the menu has variety, including gluten free options (my hubby is Gluten Intolerant).
