Marc’s guidebook
Food scene
Some of the restaurants we love to visit.
Located on Ocean Beach Blvd, the Sandbar may quickly become your “go to” spot for both food and drinks at lunch and dinner. They have nightly specials year round so you’ll quickly learn what night to get crab leg specials, that’s Friday, sing karaoke, Thursdays, or half priced tacos, on Tuesday of course! If you're a wing lover, you have to try the Joey wings, and they're famous for their Hurricanes in 5 different levels. Category 1-5!
There are tv’s everywhere with most any sport year round, especially football, just ask if you’d like to see something not playing and they’ll happily change a channel for you. They also have live bands many nights, more often if it’s not football season.
