Cabana Sam's Sunset Bay Grill — Restaurant in Town of Hanover

Great view and the best beach in the area. We stopped by for a quick lunch on a boat day. I have not been here in ages so didn’t have any expectations.

We were seated quickly and since it was Sunday we were offered a brunch menu in addition to their standard menu. Overall the prices on the menu were reasonable. And the offerings were casual, lots of bar food, sandwiches, salads, burgers, some entrees, etc. We ordered some of the brunch specials drinks which were advertised as $3 for a Bloody Mary or a cabana cooler which was vodka, oj and sprite. For mains we had the steak and seaweed sandwich and the coconut shrimp dinner. I ordered the shrimp dinner because I was told they had sweet potato fries. The server came back out shortly to tell me they don’t have the sp fries. I should have changed to the appetizer sized menus item but my significant other had enthusiasm to try the onion rings. Overall the food was just ok. The steak in the sandwich was over cooked, and I’m told the fries were very good. The coconut shrimp was cooked well but didn’t have a lot of flavor. The pina colada sauce looked like a condiment cup full of mayonnaise. It didn’t taste like much, didn’t taste like mayo, and was slightly sweet. I used a tiny amount to eat my shrimp so they were not dry. I got mixed reviews on the onion rings. Someone said they were good and someone else said they were standard and nothing special. I also got a side salad with the dinner which was also standard, bagged iceberg lettuce variety. The bill came and the brunch drinks were $4. Not a huge deal but update your menus. Another friend ordered chicken fingers which looked very good. They were large and there were quite a few of them. I’d try those if we came back again.

I would say this is a great place for drinks and a view. They have a lot of live music which is also a plus. Nothing terrible happened but the food...

Steady decline in food quality, cleanliness and staff! Have been renting a cottage close by for years and have noticed a huge change in every regard. Went this 4th of July and started off by returning our first drink at the bar, not sure what it was but definitely not what we ordered, possibly because bartender was doing too many shots with the patrons. Ordered dinner and returned my steak salad because the bits of steak were hard burnt pieces. The waitress did apologize and replace with better ones. Sat close to the patio entrance and viewed “security” smoking and giving a first terrible impression. Waitress told us we just missed a fight in the dining room and someone smashed a plate over someone’s head. Didn’t surprise me by the lack of tolerance by management. Bathroom was filthy and to top it off we spent $130 on dinner, we’re finishing our drinks and the waitress came over started clearing our glasses and told us they need the table, only to say sorry i thought you were squatters I didn’t know you ordered dinner. What?? I was insulted and upset. I guess that’s what their used to?? Why would you say such a thing?? Oh yeah and forgot to mention that the busboy intentionally dumped the water off of our clam plates right onto the floor next to my shoes so he could carry them easier. The staff are all inexperienced and acted like they could care less. Again very poor management, no one watching over them. Don’t see any sort of respectable or decent clientele wanting to experience this whole chaotic atmosphere. You get what you tolerate. I don’t see a bright future for the owner, sorry to say. I’ve loved this place all those years but it is...

Great atmosphere and Tasty food and drinks. Plentiful indoor/outdoor Upstairs/downstairs seating, and I think there are a few different bar areas within the restaurant. Nice selection of mixed fruity alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks as well as Pepsi products, juice, beers, and wines. Pretty decent selection of paninis, sandwiches, wraps, dinners, salad, and appetizers. The decor was great, bathrooms were clean, they had these very cool garage door windows that they opened up to get fresh air flowing throughout the restaurant. It gets hot upstairs for patrons and employees, so it’s nice they they have the ability to assist in keeping their employees cool while working. Whether it was the owners intentions or not. The food was a little Too salty, but overall tasty. The beach is 50 ish feet away, and going got dinner is the best, as you get to see the sunset on the lake. Employees were friendly but could be better with filling up drinks. The music playing in the background was not too loud, so you could still talk with who you were sitting with but you could also chair dance if you had a couple drinks. Comfortable seating, no wheelchair access for upstairs seating but definitely lots of places to eat downstairs. Ice cream parlor and gift shop downstairs. Definitely a good place to go for dinner or just hanging out and having drinks. No dessert menu. Great...
