The Caribbean Jerk Chicken entree was out of this world. And the veg salad was fantastic as well. It was a Saturday night and the music was amazing. Staff was friendly & manager was kind and we all had a great time celebrating my friend's birthday. I really like this place in terms of the atmosphere, it's very relaxed and such a fun place. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in town. The food is pretty good and the inside bar is also relaxing. Pretty big space outside in the sand area.

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya to Leesburg...there was sand and Mai Thai's, along with what was my favorite part: a band! Departing from island life, I went with a Reuben while listening to the sweet sounds of the Melissa Quinn Fox Trio up on stage. Part tiki bar, part I dunno what, MacDowell's had amenable service and straightforward food, but when paired with the live music, made for a pleasant afternoon in Tha 'Burg...

This place was good, wings were slamming and the pickles were a 10/10. Would love to see better marketing for bands as the room was empty and they were so awesome!!

We had a great time on the Sam on the outdoor patio. We had excellent bar service. The food was excellent, and the Caribbean band was really good.

Cute little beach like restaurant in the middle of downtown Leesburg that has sand to dip your toes in. The service here was good. They had some good quesadillas.

Awesome vibes here! They usually have live music which is amazing and the whole outdoor seating area is done so well. There were a lot of people when I went on a Friday night where I could find a table, but it was one of the last ones open. The people I met they were really nice and all the workers were really attentive, even though they were so busy. Their drinks are made fast and taste good even though they can be pretty strong.

So as far as a bar / restaurant goes it's ok. The outdoor beach area is what makes this a cool little destination spot in the downtown Leesburg. The palm trees the old shack looking bar and a live band (good or just ok) ... can really transports you to a vacation beach location ( well not a 5 star one) but you can escape the hustle and bustle of the work week. I had the coconut shrimp... really tasty. The Caribbean jerk chicken is next on my list.

Somehow I was blessed with an 80 degree day on my February Birthday and I could not wait to have dinner at Mack's Beach! So glad it was open. February. In Leesburg. Live music. Feet in the sand. Drink in my hand. Doesn't get much better! Thanks Mack's for adding such a fun spot right in my little town. Definitely the best happy hour place in Leesburg.
