Sandgates Inn

Used to be good. Now not so much. Should have known better than to go in when it was 1230 and we were one of only 2 parties there. It is in a beautiful location with a great view from most tables. It's too bad they do not match that with good food and service. The beer selection is sub par. We both got the soft shell crab sandwich. The crab was small but tasted good, the problem was they serve it on a cheap hamburger bun with what look like ruffles potato chips. At $18.00 it's not a cheap lunch. Seems like it would be better to charge $20-24 and include a better bun and nice fresh cut fries. The service was OK but just. Which you would expect better with only 2 people there. Time to step up the game, hire better help and serve a better food or this place will be gone, which is sad with such a beautiful location.

My twin sister came down to visit me from PA and I took her to Sandgate's for crabs yesterday, 11/19/21. I was hoping my sister would share the same love for this place and she loved everything from start to finish. I have never been disappointed eating here. Crabs were DELICIOUS! BEST crabs around 🦀! Service was exceptional. Thank you, Christina!

Save your money. The food here is so disappointing. This was our first time coming here and I regret not going the 100 feet further to Seabreeze. Let me start by saying the service was great and our waitress was very pleasant and attentive, but the food was a complete let down. We were hoping for some crabs, but they stated they didn’t receive any shipments at the time. We started with the crab dip which should not even be called crab dip. It’s 95% sour cream, onion, and dill and only 5% crab. We actually struggled to find any crab meat in the mix. The “pretzel” it comes with is laughable. You get a giant bowl of crab dip with a 4 inch in diameter mini pretzel served on grandmas hand-me-down plate. The dip honestly reminded me more of sour cream and onion dip and would have been better suited if it was served with Lays Rippled Potato Chips. My husband had the Cajun Catfish dinner and said he was very disappointed. He said it definitely tasted frozen and instead of blending the Cajun season into the batter, they just dumped it on top of it. The fish also had an abundance of bones in it which was gross to watch as he pulled them from between his teeth. Only thing appetizing about his meal was the beer he had to drink. I had the Softshell Sandwich and boy, don’t I regret it. I took one bite and called it a day. Maybe I’m just not a fan, but it tasted as if I bit into a rock of sea salt. The meat itself was tasteless which is very disappointing and lacked everything it should. Only ate the fries which did alright. Basic. Conclusion: save your time and your money and go elsewhere. This place is a joke and quite the hole in the wall. No wonder the parking lot was so empty on a Labor Day weekend.
