Good food and good service in an old fashioned 50s style diner. People who loved the Hamlin pharmacy counter won't be disappointed. New owners kept the vibe. However, when I went they did not have fountain drinks like Hamlin did. It is important to patronize small local businesses like this who are competing with nonlocally owned franchises. read more

Sandi's Diner delivers a charming 50s atmosphere with attentive service that makes the meal feel easy and relaxed. The cinnamon roll which we had as a breakfast appetizer was good, though dry. Our omelets were rich and satisfying, the kids' breakfast was classic bacon, egg, toast, my 2 young children gobbled them up. Overall, it's a delightful spot that I'd happily return to. read more

This place is amazing , the wings are delicious and the chicken fried steak is out of this world. Dint forget the strawberry malt. OMG!!! This was delicious. Thank you Sandi .... read more

After waiting 35 minutes for 1 cheese burger w/fries and 1 waffle, and a Coke that cost $4.25, it's definitely not worth $25 +tip. Burger came out first, then the Soggy waffle. Burger had 0 flavor, not what I expected! Sorry Sandi, it's not worth it and we won't be back! read more

Stopped by on a Monday mid-afternoon with my mother and brothers to grab a quick bite. We really enjoyed our experience and suggest you give it a try as well. It wasn't very busy at 3:00 in the afternoon, but that was not surprising. Service was great, staff was friendly, and food was fresh and tasty. Two of us grabbed burgers and the other two had plated meals. Everyone was satisfied and enjoyed their choices, just good old fashion food. We then split a cinnamon roll for desert to finish it off. Thank you Sandi!We agreed to try their breakfast next time we are in town. read more

We were looking for a breakfast or lunch place on a Saturday and ended up at Sandi's Diner. It was great! Our server was attentive and the food was delicious! The old time diner setup was really cool too. We'll definitely be back! read more

Parking in the back, as there's not much up front. Finally made it over here, camping at Lake Corpus Christi State Park. And omg, I'm so glad we did! Just walking in the back door you can tell this is going to be a great meal- the smells wafting around are savory and sweet and the funky 70s music playing along with the diner decor lets you know you are in the right spot! We were seated right away, social distancing and masks are definitely being observed. Two waitress dropped by within moments of sitting down to let take our drink outset's, both let us know they were famous for the waffles and hamburgers. We were all about ordering the waffle until we overheard another waitress talk about the cinnamon roll. Game. On. Um. The cinnamon roll just got dropped off. Oh. My. Word. It's as big as my face y'all. And dripping in buttery frosted goodness. The honey butter on top is unbelievable. I should just stop here. My mouth is in heaven. I'm so glad we made the trip across to this little dive! Hubby had the Monte Carlo omelet (no toast it has browns) and I did the fungi burger (bun less ) and upgraded to onion rings. We're trying to cut carbs. (Don't look at me for the cinnamon bun, we're _trying_ I said. And it was worth every bite!) The onion rings are top notch- breading is delicious and they serving size is great. Hubby's inlet is nearly two inches thick- and packed with meats. Y'all. Come here. Eat good food. Die happy with the cinnamon roll. And come back for more. We sure will! read more

I really enjoyed this place but I did not expect to pay over $60 for two children and one adult. My kids had waffles plate and I had a club sandwich. Oh the lemonades were 7$ each so maybe we'll stick to water next time. Other than the expensive price, we did enjoy the atmosphere. To give a comparison the breakfast food was comparable to Waffle House which I love Waffle House so I won't be coming back to Sandi's. I'd recommend for a one time visitors. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Lots of fun! We stopped for breakfast and actually talked to Sandi for a bit and enjoyed the staff.

Me and my little sister wanted to go and grab some lunch on a rainy day and decided to try this place out that had decent reviews, Once we arrived to Sandi's Diner we noticed there was 3 street parking spots in the front (which is where we parked) and more parking in the back. The business had an old rockabilly them from the outside and the inside was even more vibrant! When we walked inside Sandi's we were quickly greeted and asked to sit anywhere. They had awesome old memorabilia on the walls and throughout the restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and explained the menu and the cleanliness of the business was very clean. Me and my sister decided to order omelette's with drinks and a side of Parmesan wings. Once we received our food it was delicious and was perfect temperature. I would highly recommend this place for either breakfast or lunch! Thank you Sandi's Diner! read more

On a busy beautiful Saturday morning, our party of three decided to try this new restaurant in the beloved Hamlin Pharmacy space. It's 50's chic with some of the original Hamlin furniture and decor. Very cute and fun to imagine the Happy Days characters coming in at any time.....the place was busy but we waited and were seated at a part booth/part chairs table. The menu isn't extensive but includes breakfast items, burgers, shakes, snacks and desserts. We ordered waffles with sausage/bacon and eggs, an egg plate with two meats and an egg plate with a chicken fried steak on the side. The food is ok. Not homemade at all which was a disappointment. The waffles were good as were the eggs and chicken fried steak, but the hash browns were a frozen patty you can buy at HEB. The "biscuit" was a dense frozen roll and the condiments (butter, syrup, jelly, ketchup) were in single serve plastic packs, very unappetizing. And why does a diner serve soft drinks from a plastic bottle and not as a fountain drink? Service was fine but prices were high too. The chicken fried steak alone added $6.99 to our egg plate's total. Cost for two waffle plates, one egg plate plus three soft drinks was $56.90 without tip. I'm not sure we'll go back until the food reflects the old-fashioned fun decor. read more

The service as soon as we came in was wonderful! We were seating immediately and then served w menus. After ordering the food we then got the chance to take everything in. The environment they provided seem very well quaint and fashioned for its theme, one of the best features if I say! The food was amazing and the Waffles are definitely a go to! Tastes sweet and especially w the strawberry on too ‍. Would recommend 10/10 read more

This was our first time here since they moved locations. Food was just as good. Service was great. The wait getting the food was a bit long but we did over hear the owner saying that they had no wait staff because no one wants to work, which is true these days. Our waitress was very nice. But it was all worth the wait. We even got the famous cinnamon roll. Will go back. read more

Sandi's was a fun breakfast stop for us. It's a quant little greasy spoon with fun memorabilia throughout. My daughter had a blast playing with a rotary phone on the table. We had nice, polite service. The food was good but was not overly great. It was definitely tasty, but we had heard this place had the best breakfast in town and none of us felt it lived up to the hype. It was good, though. One of our orders was wrong but they corrected the issue quickly. read more

My family & I were in town for a quick trip. We found this place by accident, just driving by, We decided to stop and see if they were sitting inside, as there was 10 of us, they were able to accommodate us in 2 tables. Waking in my first impression was 60's diner How cute! We were greeted upon our arrival by a friendly lady, whom I believe is Sandi. We were seated and the super sweet waitress took our drink orders. They have vintage glass bottles for coke , sprite & Dr Pepper among a few others. My dad ordered coffee which was fresh & hot. We all quickly placed our orders & man! The food is definitely delicious!!! The food was all made to order and mouth watering good! I personally ordered the hand breaded steak with greens beans & mashed potatoes & it was perfect!!! My son ordered the waffles , which were perfect. Overall we loved their food, the atmosphere & the decorations. Side note - they sell masks & other handmade stuff. Super cute & affordable. We purchased some masks. read more

Came to the new spot today..... bad mistake. Got seated right away, then waited 30 min for food that was sorry. Pork sandwich had some cold meat on it with totally no taste, seasoning - nothing Hubby's "chili cheeseburger" had a splash of watered chili, no meat or beans, just liquid. Frozen burger 1/4 thick with no taste. BLAH 30$ for nothing And no drink refills read more

We love historic diners such as this but were disappointed. Hamburger was very greasy (i don't mind a little) and onion rings were obviously frozen variety. The sauted onions had no flavor. My wife's BLT was lacking tomato and mayo was in a squeeze packet on the table?? I don't think we will be back. read more

We absolutely LOVED this place! Not only was the food terrific but the people are too! Sandi waited on us and was so kind!! Shared some history and family info when asked. Next time we will bring her a gift of a vintage item. Love how it feels like the old days with the booths, plates, mugs and decor...trip down memory lane. We will be back for sure! So glad the other place we went was so packed so we refocused and came here. The reviews were good and now we know why. Thank you Sandi for being so kind, especially to our girl! She loved the hugs!! read more

THIS PLACE IS THE REAL DEAL! We love it here wow don't miss out on this spot. So delicious

Burgers were great. Lots of variety. Buns were well matched to burger. I had a pizza burger it was very good. Waitress was dressed for 50's. She was very good.

My Husband and I had lunch at the diner. We both ordered the classy hamburger. Unfortunately, we were not satisfied with the food. The waitress was very pleasant and informative and the diner's atmosphere was very upbeat. However, we found our burgers to be dry as far as the meat was concerned, the onion rings were overcooked and the buns on the burgers, being homemade they said, were hard. While this does not judge the whole menu --as the diners push for their all day breakfast, I would hope that the other items on the menu prove to be more tasty than the experience we had today. read more

Big disappointment. Quality, prices, atmosphere. Unfortunately, will never go back. Wish we ate at whataburger!

Just wasn't very good food! Took a long time to get food . Flys everywhere. The place is kinda junky looking and not kept clean. It's a shame it has so much potential. read more

Wasn't impressed. Waited a year to go here and dissapointed. Old school diner vibe was cool but prices and service was crap for portion and quality! Frozen hash brown Pattie, frozen biscuits. Don't have wheat bread, really? $32 for crap food and one tea. Which was a small glass at $3 all ice read more

Slow service, food wasn't good at all. Ambiance was 70s theme. I had the pancakes, eggs, sausage & bacon. It wasn't good.

Really cute, nostalgic restaurant. Opens at 9 am. Waffle good but not crispy as requested. No decaf but the regular was strong. Loved it! Hannah, my waitress, super friendly. Customers friendly too! Will try supper there! read more
