The Sand Dollar Beach Kitchen

This is our family?s go-to place. Healthy options. Fresh food. Even has options for our very picky kids, and they beg us to eat here! A hidden gem in Midlo, and love that it?s locally owned and operated! Taco night is so good, and my favorite is actually the turkey burger!

This place was great! The drinks were yummy? Food was tasty and James, our bar tender was friendly! I just wish they would change the music to match the look of the restaurant, techno music at 1130 on a Tuesday isn?t ideal ????????

If you want a beach themed restaurant with plenty of character then this is your place. All the staff were friendly and the place is clean. Plenty of options for Brunch or Lunch. They also have an extensive adult beverage menu. We made plans with management for our party of 36, but they only assigned one waitress. She quickly got the water out and took our orders. It was a hot day and the waters were not refilled. Some of the food (fried cauliflower) came out to quick and was cold in the middle. The wings were overdone and dry. My California Cobb Salad was good. The plates weren't cleared and then the wind started blowing everything over. I will have to come back at another time to see if they can properly service a table for 2. Hopefully we can update the review and add a star.

Pros: Friendly and quick Cons: Dirty and below average food The staff was very friendly. Seems like this would be a great lively bar but we came for Sunday breakfast. The food unfortunately I would only enjoy after 3 or 4 drinks. The bagels barely warmed let alone toasted. The lox was very pungent indicating it was old. Bacon seemed microwaved. I had lox bagel, she had bacon, egg and cheese bagel. We both only ate a few bites. The classic fruit bowl was good, however. Condiment bowl, salt shakers, windows, floors, high chairs (especially bad), all pretty filthy. Lots of flies (house and fruit/drain) around.

First trip, we took a friend who was here visiting from the west coast. We loved the decor and vibe. Good selections on the menu. We weren't excited about the service. Our guest has a lot of food allergies and had several questions, I'm sure if you aren't confident in how things are prepared, this can be troublesome. A few questions were asked and our server simply didn't return. My wife had to find another server and ask her to get our server to return, by this point two of us had already emptied our drinks). This was after two other tables next to us and patrons at the bar, all of whom came after us, were able to place their orders. We considered walking out but stayed. The food was good. Although I did order onion rings which were just a few seconds shy of burned. I ordered the Sunburned Chicken not knowing the burned description would apply to the side. May come back as our selections were good, but not off to a good start.
