Merrimack Valley Sandtrap Bar and Grille — Restaurant in Methuen

Came here for Valentines Day last minute. It was great. Not only because it wasn't busy (as every other place is on this night) but because we had amazing service and delicious food. We walked down the hall, our 3 year old son in tow... 3 of the ladies immediately awed at his smiling face. My son was excited and they're reaction was so welcoming. Then we seated. It's not a super fancy place as in fine dining. It was pretty. Very clean. Quiet. I dislike loud busy bustling places especially on Valentines Day, quality is low, service is lacking- this was far from that! In every best way possible. Jamie was our waitress. She was attentive, friendly, smiling & had a great presence about her. We ordered the calamari, truffle fries(for our son who is obsessed with fries), cheese quesidilla (for our son), the lobster fra diavolo special & fish tacos. everything was great (beans were very salty, they came with the tacos- Didn't bother me I dont really eat them anyways). Price wise, I think the tacos and the quesidilla were over priced. tacos had rice that was plain & salty canned tasting beans but the tacos themselves were fantastic. Cheese quesidilla with just sour cream and pico seemed too much for something very basic. Maybe some better dessert choices? They don't make them in house so I didn't get any which is a bummer, because I love desserts. Nothing special (esp on Valentines day) about strawberry cheesecake, warm lava cake (pre-made), or tiramisu. I can get that anywhere. All in all it was nice and I would highly recommend it. I would come back 100%. Thank you Jamie! I hope you see this or a manager does and recognizes your...

This is definitely a hidden gem in the city of methuen. I think people think that this restaurant is here to serve golfers and golfers only, but that is not the case.

If you haven't stopped by this establishment, it's definitely worth it. Ypu will not regret it.

The loaded nachos were fantastic, full of toppings, and there was no skimping out.

The hot honey chicken was delicious as well. The chicken ceasar wrap was a bit dry, but I'm still giving this a 5 star review because everything else was good.

I especially want to call out the wait staff,both were very friendly! Kudos, as i know its difficult dealing...

Hello everyone, back again. I haven't been here in a while, but they are always changing something lol. They have added few more items to the menu and of course some prices have increased a little. But the food is still good. Also they have opened up another restaurant / lounge upstairs. I can't remember the name at the moment sorry. But while I was there, ( down stairs ) at the sand trap, upstairs was pretty packed. There's always a friendly crowd and it's easy to get caught up in a conversation with someone you do or don't know their. Nice casual place....
