The Sand Trap is a great place to while away an afternoon at the coast. Stop by for a casual meal before or after a round of golf. Check out the schedule of live, free music. Have a cocktail or two outside on the patio next to the firepit. Or ask for a meal to go and take it across the street to enjoy on the beach (and don’t forget a bottle of Edgefield wine or a 4-pack of McMenamins ales).

Probably won't return

We were here for dinner as a party of 7. It was our first time visiting, but 3 others in our party had been there before, and actually suggested it. Maybe, we were there on an 'off' night, not sure. Very slow at taking our orders, and then, 2 of them were wrong. One ordered the sliders, but, received a salad. When our server brought her sliders, they looked and tasted terrible, and there was some random piece of string inside one. She sent it back, and refused a replacement (not sure if they took it off her bill). Milkshakes that were ordered were also the wrong flavors. Two cheese pizzas were ordered, and they tasted like cheese topped cardboard. The Blue Bayou salad was good. Not sure if we'll be returning. Sure had high hopes, though

Dining in a real sand trap might be preferable.

We made the drive from Cannon Beach to go here for lunch. When we walked in, there was a sign saying, “see bartender”. There was not anyone behind the bar and no servers in sight. Someone came out from the kitchen and went behind the bar, so we asked her if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait for someone. She said she had no idea, then asked another person working there who also said she didn’t know. She never came back to tell us anything and walked by us multiple times, without saying a word and very obviously trying not to make eye contact, so we left. I worked in food service for many, many years and I can confidently say that we are absolutely not high maintenance. In fact, we already knew what we were going to order, from looking at the menu online. And I usually tip at least 40% because I remember being a server.

The best view ever!

Always cool, friendly, and tasty! Take the free bikes out and hit the beach. Good times are guarenteed!

Blah

Don’t get it…the food here is sub-par and the service on most days is lacking. We have given this several tries cause we love the outdoor deck, (dogs welcome), but unless you are a huge drinker, we do not consider this an acceptable spot to eat. The food just isn’t that good. I don’t get the 5-star reviews. To each his own I guess.

Great food and service

The ambiance of the facility is delightful. Can not say enough good about my experience. Staff was friendly and very attentive to details to provide a very pleasurable time.
