SpongeBob and Sandy come across a restaurant only for tough patrons while they're at the beach and decide to try to go in. Sandy is easily let in by the bouncer while SpongeBob is left outside.

SpongeBob SquarePants only grew in popularity. By 2002, the show had almost 56 million total viewers, with almost a third aged 18 to 49, the St. Petersburg Times reported that year.
