It wasn't awful but probably should have ordered off the menu as I'm not a buffet person. Very clean establishment. We saw all kinds of bulk food as you walk in the doors. Apparently they accept non perishable do to help out the locals if they need a hand up. They also help with the school summer lunch program. If that isn't enough of a reason to go visit...well I'm sorry you're dead inside.

Rating 2/5 stars because Sandy's quality used to be better...maybe we just went on an extremely off…read moreday. In my opinion, $22 for an Easter brunch buffet should mean hot food that won't run out. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Our party of 10 arrived at 11:00am and all of the food in the buffet was cold. Even when they'd bring more of a certain item to replace on the buffet line, it wasn't warm. The only item that was hot was the prime rib at the carving station. Being pregnant, I felt extremely uncomfortable eating cold buffet food due to the increased risk of food poisoning, so I wasn't able to enjoy much beyond the room temperature biscuits and the last scrapings of the white gravy along with some green beans that were warmish. Defintely not worth the $22 a person. They also ran out of carrot cake on Easter of all holidays, which was a disappointment. We probably won't be back for a buffet at Sandy's, which is a shame because our family has eaten their Mother's Day buffet several times and it had been fine (not stellar, but fine). Also, just a personal opinion, but the constant use of bad AI pictures on their Facebook is so cringey. The Boomers might like it, but the younger crowd sees this sort of stuff and thinks "yikes." We'd rather see real pictures of your real food, not a cartoon depiction.

The restaurant has a cozy feel but it could use a little updating. It did take awhile for us to get our check.

(Review from 8/8/2019: Transferred from closed secondary account.)…read more *This place is a lovely, unique restaurant and bar. I believe they are privately owned and operated. They offer daily specials, weekly trivia contests, and a live music. Entertainers generally play live music several nights a week. Sinclairs host mostly acoustic performers, mainly on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Most of the entertainers feature guitar playing solo artists in the bar area. As for the food... it's all pretty tasty. Served in an upscale fashion. And worth mentioning is THE ABSOLUTE BEST MEATLOAF I have ever eaten outside of my own kitchen; and yes, possibly even better than my own... which speaks volumes because I'm generally an excellent cook and extremely particular diner. (Not bragging - just emphasizing that my standards are high). This meatloaf is hearty, rich, and moist, with a firm meaty texture (Not over done with fillers). It's cut generously and served over freshly mashed potatoes topped with a complex & flavorful sauce I'd liken to a rich brown gravy with a hint of herbs & possibly a tad bit of steak sauce for good measure... Its the star. I just wished they served this on their daily menu! Speaking of... their entire menu is thoughtfully made, and the chef deserves major kudos for their talents in the kitchen. I will go with friends in tow to enjoy a night off in the kitchen, to enjoy some of the best meals our city has to offer. Looking for something do? Sports Watch Parties are a good time: Sinclair's serve as the neighborhood hub when it comes to watching our very own Kansas City Chiefs play. They will also host other major local or national sporting events. If sports aren't your thing, try your hand at trivia night on Mondays. You'll be glad you didn't stay home!

We were immediately greeted and we sat at the bar since nobody was there at 11:05. Our waitress was Giovanna, who was happy, energetic and engaging. I ordered the special; pork tenderloin with tater tots and my wife ordered the chicken sandwich. While we were waiting we talked with Giovanna about sparkling waters that we each liked and she went out to her car and got a La Croix Lemon Cello drink to try while we were waiting for our food. (She normally doesn't do this but it pertained to our conversation and was a gracious gesture). The food came out quickly and was presented beautifully. Both sandwiches were tender and juicy and cooked to perfection! We had no complaints, only compliments. We highly recommend this and we will be back! Thank you Giovanna for such great service and conversation.

The food was good. I ordered the jambalaya (without shrimp) and it was very flavorful.

Our group of 13 arrived well before the crowd, but had to wait a very long time for our food. That is especially hard on the young ones. Although it is quite loud in there, we are typically able to talk. The chicken wings and fries were lukewarm and most said their dinner was so so. I had a side salad which was good, but of course I expect that to be room temp. We are going on the premise that this was a one off. But normally, we would expect much better on the food quality. Our server did a pretty good job for us.

Something about it gave be…read morea vibe of being the type of place where fights constantly break out and absolutely nothing good can happen. I finally got up the nerve to go inside, and discovered I had been wrong. I've been there during the day and at night, and haven't seen a hint of trouble. It's a blue collar bar for sure, a mix of people my age and older people. The bartenders are exceptionally pleasant and the regulars have all been nice so far. The bar is L-shaped and located immediately inside the door, there is a large seating area to the left of the bar. On a recent visit, my brother and I were mistaken for traveling musicians by an older guy to the left of us. We still have no idea what gave him that impression. :) As decent and friendly as this place turned out to be, it's not for hipsters or the casual drinker. This is the kind of place where alcoholics and alcoholics in training go to spend their evenings getting their daily medication. Trivia fact: Ranch House is the oldest bar in Eastern Jackson County. It has been in continuous operation for about 55-60 years, possibly longer. The building is probably much older than that.

After reading reviews, I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap with a side of sweet potato fries. I had never eaten a warm Chicken Caesar wrap before, and this was a game changer!

My husband ordered the Local burger with chips and salsa. He said the burger was delicious. I tried the chips and salsa.

Those little burgers are just so good! Always hot waffle fries, SMAUCE...all the good stuff. Try the double sometime. It will blow you away! The golden arches or the BRGR Kng can't put down a little double that tops this. The meat is seasoned perfectly, premium American cheese, toasted bun. Everything that makes a slider better than just a burger comes right in your bag. But the thing that stands out to me is the patty itself. It just reminds me of an old style drive in burger from when I was a kid. It really takes me back to the 70's when my mom would take us to a place called The Forks Grill, and bought a bag of cheeseburgers and fries for dinner. Like the food critic in "Ratatouille"...my mind races to my sister and I sitting in the back seat of he old, silver Dodge, 100% stoked because we were getting what we though were the best take out burgers in the whole world. Going out for take out was a big deal back then. So using that as a comparison...they are just really good!! It is always good to drive by and see a lot of people there. Not only because it is good, but because we like to see them doing well...which hopefully means they will be around for a while. Give them a try. You will be hooked. Those little burgers are just that freakin' good. 5 stars!

I was in Blue Springs today and ended up at Smalls Sliders…read more The whole place looks like someone dropped a black and orange shipping container into a parking lot and said "what if this thing only served greasy little dopamine bombs?" Honestly? Great idea. Walk-up window. A few outdoor tables. Super clean bathrooms outside. Bright branding you can spot from the road immediately. The kind of place that knows exactly what it is. Taylor at the window was awesome too. I had absolutely no clue what I wanted and never once felt rushed. They guided me directly into the kind of meal that shortens your lifespan a little but dramatically improves your afternoon. I got the Biggie Smalls combo with a cookies & cream shake, loaded waffle fries with bacon, jalapeños and ranch, extra Smauce on the burgers, and a side of queso because if queso is available and you don't dip everything into it, what are we even doing here? The sliders are exactly what you want them to be. Buttery buns. Thin greasy patties with crispy edges. Cheese melting into every corner. Smauce tastes like that classic burger sauce lane -- mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickle tang -- but sweeter and richer, like if a drive-thru and a county fair had a beautiful unhealthy baby together. And the loaded fries? Completely unserious food. In the best possible way. This place feels engineered in a laboratory specifically to make you crave one more slider even when you know you're full. And if you don't know what to order, just ask Taylor. They know exactly what they're doing.
