So my visit here tonight has a story that would be a bit too long to include in a review, but what I will let you know here is that I first came across this business that literal day before the historic floods of August 18th, 2024 at a food truck festival in downtown New Haven. Ever since that day and the subsequent floods, I've been wanting to give SNG a proper visit and give a proper review. Fast forward to July 22, 2026 in Hartford and the walk I made to the ice cream right on the same street as the state capitol building. When I reviewed that place, I had to look back at my old reviews and found I had had those guys before at the Hartford Taste Festival of 2025. At that moment, something clicked. Didn't I first find about Sandra's this exact same way? I knew my job had a sponsor event the Saturday of that following week (now today). I came to a revelation. THIS was the night I had to go! I NEEDED to get to Sandra's and I needed to do this now! Upon arrival, the location is very unassuming. It has such a huge following, yet one can easily pass by this place if they don't know what they're looking for. Coming inside, I had found it to be a bit of a learning curve to even find a menu, let alone order. Turns out, you have to go outside and look at the menus outside to make a decision, something I am definitely not used to. Not a bad thing, but just something to keep in mind. After you order, you are given a number, and then you wait outside until they text you that your order is ready so you can go pay. What is a plus here is that I got my food in a considering less than the amount of time I was promised. It was maybe about 10 minutes after I ordered when it was ready when they I was told it would be ready in 20. Now, back at that fateful festival, I did have the fried chicken, the Mac and cheese, and candied yams. Now, let it be know that I NEVER eat yams. I just never felt the need to have those in my life. That being said, I do remember being pleasantly surprised by how they tasted. That night was a great lesson in getting through your dinner before going to have dessert in a way that it didn't feel like I had to have a parent tell me to do exactly that. I remember liking the dinner overall, but not being wowed enough to really give it 5 stars if it were a proper review. Maybe a 3.5 or 4. Tonight, the Mac and cheese makes its return, this time with string beans, blackened shrimp, and BBQ Pork Ribs. Oh, and I nabbed this neat container of fruit punch because it was so humid it was like Connecticut just moved South to Northern Florida. Yeah, we'll go with that. Between the 2 Mac and cheese's, I would say tonight's edition was better than what I had at the festival. The string beans are a good vegetable side that definitely has an authentic Southern taste to it. The blackened shrimp is on top of a small bed of brown rice and beans. You do need to take the tails off each the shrimp, but if you know how to eat shrimp, shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. The rice and beans are cooked pretty too might I add. And the ribs. Oh my GOD the ribs! Most times in CT you have to go to a true BBQ spot to get good ribs. But they did well with this rib. Fell off the bone, and the BBQ sauce had a nice kick to it without being overpowering. It didn't feel too skimpy like the ones I had from that Dominican spot I went to last week. The authentic, homemade soul food is worth the hype. Speaking of the hype... So when I first read reviews of Sandra's and ironed through who was reviewing this place, I did not have a good first impression. It was as if because of some of the people who rave about the food, they intimidated me away from making my visit here for a while without saying a word. What if I went, didn't have a good experience, leave a bad review, and then I end up summoning an angry mob chanting to have my head on a spike? It was a real thought that went my head at one point in time when thinking about going there. But still, I needed to come here, and now that I've been, I can say I'm glad that I did. Sandra's serves soul food that they have every right to be proud of. It's not a place I can come to often, but I would be happy to come here again to try more of their food items, especially now that my first memories of Sandra's are now completely behind me.
Our food was fresh and delicious. The quality reminds me of the time I lived in Savannah, Georgia and there were homemade spots everywhere run by people who had been cooking for generations. We tried a few new items and look forward to having them again soon . There is off the street parking and only outdoor eating area available.
So I moved to Connecticut very recently and honestly have had trouble finding good food compared to where I am from. I say that to say...Sandra's is hands down the best food I have had anywhere since moving here. Not the best soul food, the best food period. And it's honestly some of the best soul food I've ever had. Everything is delicious! I love so much about this place. I love that they give you several options for meals, such as 1 entree with 2 sides; 2 entrees with 2 sides; 1 entree with 4 sides, etc. Most restaurants only give you the choice of 1 entree with 2 sides but Sandra's doing it like this really allows you to try multiple dishes and mix and match depending on how hungry you are. Only thing to keep in mind is if you order a combo plate (2 entrees with 2 sides) the entrees are half portions. I also love how many options there are for entrees, sides, desserts & drinks! The menu is very extensive there's something for everyone including lots of vegan options. There are so many possible combinations that you could eat a different meal here everyday. And that's not even including their daily specials! I learned about Sandra's from a cooking demonstration she did onsite at my job. I'm so glad I went to that work event bc I never would've known about Sandra's, it wasn't on my radar at all. I like it so much I literally went two days in a row. Prices are also super reasonable for the amount of food you get and quality! For comparison, I recently went to a bbq restaurant (I won't say their name here but you can check out my review on them) that charged $20 for only 1 entree and 1 SMALL side and the food wasn't even good. So far I have tried the: vegan mac n cheese, regular mac n cheese, fried catfish, smothered dark meat chicken, beef ribs, turkey chopped bbq, collard greens, yams, sweet potato pie, and the blue lemonade. My favorite entree I've tried so far are the beef ribs. So tender and sticky sweet! Highly recommend these. My fave sides are the yams and collards and shockingly I think I actually like the vegan mac more the regular. All dinners come with cornbread. Wasn't a fan of the cornbread but others in my family liked it and I really appreciate that it's included. I would order everything again except the fried catfish, wasn't a fan of that. There are still so many dishes I want to try. I can see myself eating here several times a month to try everything. Big back, big back here I come thanks to Sandra's! I cannot recommend it here enough!
Sandra has always treated me like family, and the rest of the family there are the same. However, when I order through the Internet, which is DoorDash, I call to make sure I get what I need, like spoons and cornbread. I don't receive them, even though I was supposed to get a full meal. I'm upset this time because I paid for cornbread and didn't get it. That's why I'm reaching out online because I don't know who's responsible for the mistake. I also wonder if it's something personal or if there's a reason behind it when I called to ask for extra things like juice for my corn. I hope we can work it out and get everything sorted, because right now it feels a little personal.
Smothered pork chops with 4 sides; Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and double macaroni and cheese. Oh and let me not forget the cornbread. I wanted potato salad but they had run out, unfortunately and surprisingly since it was 12p. The food was delicious as always. I recommend and will be returning.
I have been excited about checking out Sandra's after seeing a TikTok and reading some of the reviews. I caught Metro North from Grand Central and after the 2+ hour ride that's when I found out that they had no seating, which that is my fault for not researching. I ordered online and waited a hour and 13 mins for my food. The service was great. The owner was very friendly as well as the other staff. As I was waiting the gospel music was playing and it was nice. Once I got my food. I immediately gave it a try because I didn't want it cold or reheated for my review. The soul food empanadas with chicken were pretty good I would give them a solid 7 out of 10. The smothered chicken was very salty in my opinion. I would rate it a 5 out of 10, and the Mac & cheese tasted like boxed velveeta which I would rate a 4/10. I'm disappointed at how over hyped it seem. Not pictured was my order of fried fish and it was bland with no seasoning. The lemon on the side did no justice. I could've honestly caught it at a bad time because it was a Sunday and very busy, but I'm definitely not interested in going back.
I visited this place for the reviews. Plus, I was missing the soul food from Chicago, and from my own stove. The outside seating area is nice! Inside, it's your standard soul food to go spot. Great staff! As reviews state, the people that work here are a pleasure. Place your order and get a text when it's ready! The prices are not bad. My order included the fried catfish with 4 sides. While the sweet potatoes had the best flavor, these should have been cooked a bit more. Overall, the food did need more depth to the flavor. The Mac & Cheese had a chalky texture, lacking cheese. The fish was not cooked in hot enough grease. It was not crisp. Nothing was nasty, but nothing stood out. You be the judge yourself.
Would've gone 3 1/2 stars if available. Came here a few years ago and it was really good. This time - not so much. They woman taking our order was great - the rest of the staff wasn't. Food wasn't as good as I remembered. Not sure if I'd come back if/when in the area.
We tried to order online, but because our bill would've been more than $75 so we had to go in to order. We were waited on quickly, but had probably about a 30 minute wait for our food. We sat outside in their cute little seating area. Hennessy fried Salmon 10/10 mac and cheese 9/10 kale greens 8/10 rice wasn't good it was hard. I love kale. I've never had them this style so they were different, but they were still good. Also, I got their peach cobbler 11/10 and mango lemonade. Would definitely return !
I have two words for you: Soul Roll. What a simple yet genius idea to fill egg roll wrapping with the deliciousness of soul food, and I got mine with BBQ chopped turkey. It's pure magic. I got the Hennessy wings lunch combo with mac & cheese and yams. Although I didn't taste Hennessy at all, the wings were INCREDIBLE. They're big, sweet, and sticky. The sides were also fine. The reason this isn't a 5 star review is because of the "fried chicken sandwich" I ordered. They gave me two chicken wings and two slices of bread. That is NOT a sandwich. Since it was my first time trying Sandra's I wanted to get a variety of options so I got fried chicken sandwich, which you would think is different than chicken wings. Nope...I ended up with two different chicken wing orders. Now, since me having ordered this, I've learned many southern restaurants will offer sandwiches in this manner. I wouldn't have minded if it was advertised that way on the menu. Fried chicken sandwiches have been a craze in the last few years so I was expecting an actual sandwich in-line with what everyone else is doing and not just two chicken wings and bread. To be fair, the chick was incredible, I just feel a bit misled. I will definitely be back!
My sweet tooth was in overdrive on Sunday so I decided to order some dessert and a side of mac & cheese. I already had ample leftovers at home so I bypassed on dinner, although I have had their dinner in the past and it is amazing. I grew up a couple of blocks away from Sandra's. The food has always been A1. I decided to get a slice of their banana, pudding cake and cheesecake with the strawberry sauce. Initially, I wanted banana pudding, but I guess they were sold out. The layers in between the cake had a very pronounced banana flavor, which was great. So I'm definitely interested in going back to get some actual banana pudding once it's available. The cheesecake was also delicious. The graham cracker crust, cheesecake consistency, and light accent of strawberry sauce came together very well. A must try. If you ever want some mac & cheese, but do not want to make an entire dish, I highly recommend getting a side serving. But, if you're hungry, opt for a full meal. Their combos are amazing. You can sample multiple meat options with various sides. A neighborhood staple but if you do not live close by definitely worth the drive or the delivery service fee.
The salmon is literally my favorite. This was my first time having the vegan Mac it was really good. The collard greens were good but were a little sweet. Only thing is it is very expensive, this meal cost me $32. Definitely not something I'm willing to spend every weekend but worth every dime lol. The service is good, they are pretty fast. The restaurant does not have indoor seating, however they do have outdoor seating since it is more hot outside. However I did not eat outside because it was way to hot. Overall I love Sandra's !
There's all kinds of cooking from the South: Southern, Low Country, Soul Food and then there is what I call, Sandra's "Spirit Filled Soul Food Cooking" based on Sandra's mother's deep South Alabama recipes. Miss Mary, Sandra's mom, has been cooking for nearly sixty years taking her craft to a very different level, leaving a family legacy and an imprint on the entire community unlike no other in my experience. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by Shante, one of Miss Mary's grandchildren, this was no ordinary, perfunctory, hello Mr.Customer greeting, this was an invitation to meet my whole family through my Grand-mom's cooking and I know you will have the experience of your life, type greeting. Shaneequa and Shante would be my servers guiding me through one of the best culinary and over all dining experiences I have had since I learned to hold a fork on my own. I had made up my mind before arriving that I wanted ribs, collards, sweet potato's, corn bread and sweet tea. Shaneequa delivered my plate and I had both girls sit down at the table with me and asked, "Ok, where do I begin?" Once again in my heart I wanted those dang collards. The girls deliberated a bit, smiled then looked up in agreement and said, "collards", oh Lordy, Hallelujah, we were off. The collards were cooked perfectly tender still retaining some residual texture without a hint of bitterness and an ever so slight hint of smoked turkey flavor. I took a picture of the young ladies cause we were all darn near euphoric after my first bite. The Word came quickly, "sweet potatoes" next. Jumpin gee Jehoshaphat I've never, no never, had sweet potatoes like that, the flavor, delicate spicing, slight sweetness of the potato and I'm sure a little brown sugar had packed 60 years of Soul Food love in them tots, amazing no other word! We all were laughing by this point as the girls noticed my ever apparent descent into a Southern Soul Food Coma, damn and these were only the sides. Ribs, yes they were flavorful fallen off the bone with a slight bit of heat to let you know who was "Boss". There is a good reason there is a stack of napkins brought to your table cause after your done suckin them bones you'll be lickin your plate and caring less who sees you. The corn bread and sweet tea, well y'all know where I going with this by now, don't you? Miss Mary's meat loaf is served every Wednesday and before I was finished there was a sample placed on my table. My dad served meat loaf in his restaurant and he made an excellent one, heck, I make a pretty darn good one myself, Miss Mary's might very will be the very best meat loaf I have had. Another small sample arrived of potato and gravy, oh my my, that gravy on smothered pork chops goodness oh goodness me! I arrived shortly before 12 o'clock and stayed until 2pm eating and chatting and I got to speak with Miss Mary on the phone, we talked a bit about my dining experience, her recipes and crowder peas one of my favorite sides. She said if you call in advance anytime I'll make you anything you want. Dining at Sandra's Next Generation was not just a great meal but a privately guided tour down sixty years of family tradition and cooking history for which I am truly privileged and deeply honored to have experienced. read more

Sandra's is a must-try in New Haven, CT. I can't rave enough about this restaurant, from the amazingly delicious food, to the ambience and the hospitality of good home cooked food, with a touch of soullllll. I almost want to leave my review at that because sometimes less is more.... but i'll continue. Me and my boyfriend came here for our first time a few days ago after hearing about it through yelp and multiple friends who have been and fell in love. I decided to go for the church plate which came with 1 entree and 4 sides. Choosing an entree and side was extremely hard because everything on the menu sounds really tasty. After minutes of contemplating i went for the Catfish- Super tender, perfectly fried without feeling too greasy. As my 4 sides I went for the candied yams, potato salad, collard greens and fried plantain - all of which had such a complexity of great flavors. The complementary cornbread is also great. Right amount of butter. Very sweet. Overall the price was reasonable. It was on par with other restaurants that offer soul food. If you want desert be sure to do the check in on Yelp to receive a free one! Service was great, staff is very friendly and welcoming. Make sure you bring cash, debit & credit are not accepted. I would HAPPILY return here again, hence the 5 stars! read more
So I'm a southern food snob, and the offerings here are definitely some of the better stuff I've had outside of the Deep South. The flavoring are southern and Caribbean. Everything is fresh and made with care and love. The delicious food here alone is worthy of 4.5 stars--the hospitality and passion of the staff drive it home for me. I had the Thursday oxtail special with macaroni and cheese, collard greens, fried okra, and candied yams. The oxtails were perfectly cooked--flavorful and fall-off-the-bone tender. The delicious meat gravy permeated the rice underneath. Oxtails and rice are some of my favorite Caribbean foods, and I'm so glad I stopped here on a Thursday! The macaroni and cheese was solid--creamy and rich. The collard greens are a little different than what I'm used to, but they were good overall. I'm used to collards with bits of salty meat mixed in, but their greens were still very flavorful. The candied yams complemented the oxtails really well, but it wasn't super special. The only thing I didn't care for was the fried okra. If they had Louisiana hot sauce available, I may be singing a different tune. This place only has Frank's Redhot, and I'm not about that Yankee shit. I also had the opportunity to try the turkey and stuffing special free of charge at the suggestion of the staff. Like my southern friends would say, that turkey don't owe me nothing! So delicious--it was like a southern Thanksgiving in a single bite. I'd love to get that next time. Overall this place was pretty spectacular, especially for this area. Simple and delicious foods without any pretentiousness--this is what soul food is all about. Pro tip: take advantage of the Yelp free dessert! The coconut pineapple cake was bomb. The cake was the size of my face. Like, it's serious business in taste, texture, and portion size. This place also throws in some free buttery corn bread so hellllloooo carb heaven. read more
I like this place a lot. If you're accustomed to soul food restaurants...you know the ones...they are usually owned by a local individual/family and they operate in a really casual manner, usually only take cash, typically offer very limited seating and operate in a shady-esque neighborhood....then SNG fits right into that mold. Very cool and relaxed environment. Lots of delicious options to choose from and really laid back staff. I ordered the smothered chicken, plantains and cabbage (to the dismay of our server who thought those items did not go together) and all was amazing. I'm almost certain that I gained a pound or two after this trip (no joke). I cannot remember what my honey ordered but he was pleased. Also, SNG offers a free dessert if you check in on Yelp. As previously mentioned, cash only. There is an ATM next door at the convenience store, though, should you need it. AND, get this, an 18% tip is automatically added to your tab for parties of 2 or more (I thought that was hilarious...but I find that soul food restaurants always have strange/ random rules like that). One thing, though, they added 18% to the total (after tax) rather than the subtotal (before) so you actually end up paying 20% to the server...small difference but I took note. There are a few parking spots on the side of the building. Other than that, you have to find street parking...good luck. read more

I was dying to try this place. It was a nice day, meaning the weather was great. I sat outside and was immediately brought a piece of free cornbread. Now this is no ordinary cornbread. This is the type of cornbread that starts wars. I would slap you for this cornbread. For real, it's that good. Hahaha. I had the bbq pork and the ribs. It's a split plate. My sides where cabbage and the Mac n' Cheese! For my beverage I figured I would go with sweet tea. I'm from NC but was visiting from AZ so I miss my sweet tea. See, the west doesn't know about sweet tea. The meal, and I mean every single bite, taste, morsel, crumb, and sip was unreal, so good and amazing! I loved all of it because you can feel the love. They do what they do with love. I felt it, I could taste it and I hope you do to. If I could open a franchise here I would. Oh don't skip the dessert... if you saved room.... You should save room.... I had the banana pudding cake! Nothing better. I dare you to find something better and mail it to me because I won't believe you. Period. Sandra! It was great to meet you. I wish you all the best. Keep doing what your doing! read more
Say whaaaat!? Hands down, best southern food in the world...the entire world!!!! Listen to me the entire world!!!! I was visiting CT for work about a month ago and thanks to a Yelper friend I was sent to this piece of heaven in New Haven lol(you get it!?). Anyways, this is the deal, you pick two sides and two entrees, so I went for ribs, fried chicken, mac n cheese(of course) and collard greens. Im latino and I'm used to seeing my food plate overflowing with food. Well this guys do it just right, no cutting on the portions at all, they go all out. I wish I could remember the name of my waiter but he is my dude, coolest waiter ever. I told him it was my first time, and he even hooked me up with some pork meat so I can try it. They serve soda on a Mason jar, and such gesture made me love this place even more. If you ever visit New Haven, don't even think about it. Just go and let them treat you like a king/queen. Im planning a trip there with my wife and this is definitely on our schedule. Thank you guys for the love, for the great food and the passion you put on every single meal. Love from South Florida! read more

I am a frequent customer of Sandra's. The restaurant is located and the owners live in my neighborhood , they are a great supporters if the community and their food is DA BOMB!!! But today I had their Saturday 'Shrimp and Grits' ... which I had never had so I didn't know what to expect. I tell you ... it was soooo good, I almost started crying! And the portion is so ample ... I am done eating for the day! It is a must have!!! Thanks Sandra & Miguel!!! read more

YUM!!!!! Love this place. I stopped here before the U.S. open and it was great. The infused beverages were awesome. I got the watermelon, my friend got a mint infused lemonade. Both delicious and big! I ordered pulled pork, Mac and cheese, collard greens, fried okra and potato salad. Everything was great, potato salad was alright, probably wouldn't ordered again. The corn bread was so SO good and we loved it so much that we ordered more. Sandra was so nice and even told me about the Yelp check in for the free dessert. Parking was a little weird, and it's on the edge of town so it was a little sketchy but I would go again!!! I mean where else can you get soul food?!! read more
YES. So much yes. I feel privileged to have experienced this sort of love and passion for food. The entrees: the Fried Chicken (crispy, juicy, pure foodgasm) and BBQ Pork Ribs (tender and could fall right off the bone) were the stars of the meal. ORDER THESE. We also tried the oxtail which was tasty and reminiscent of 红烧肉. The sides: all amazing, but my favorites were the Candied Yams, Cabbage (a great complement to everything else that was artery-clogging), and Collard Greens. The Mac n Cheese wasn't as creamy as I like, but still tasty. Half & Half tea came in a huge tub and could easily fill 4 mason jars. Fantastic. The complimentary cornbread served at the beginning of the meal was also bomb. Honestly, 1 plate is enough to share. They go all out on the portions, but I'm glad my friend and I got the 1 entree/4 side plate ($16) and the 2 entree/2 side plate ($15) in order to have a proper sampling of everything Sandra's had to offer. The food here is made and served with love. They were warm, friendly, and treat you like family. That on top of my happy soul food coma... I will be back, 100%. PS. BRING CASH! read more

Almost everything about this place is incredible! The staff are super friendly and welcoming. They were able to accommodate for our big group of nine pretty easily and were quick to serve us with whatever we needed. I got the lunch special which contained fried chicken, sweet potato fries, and collard greens. The fried chicken was tender, juicy, and very tasty! The sweet potato fries were my favorite and had a great texture, one that a fry should have, and the collard greens were also tender and flavorful. Unfortunately, the corn bread that was served to us when we got seated seemed like it was old corn bread. It was very crumbly and dry, and the flavor was alright. Maybe it would've been better if it were a fresh batch. Also, one plate we received was dirty, it still had bits of food leftover so it clearly wasn't washed. A few of the other plates were greasy as well, including my own so I just used a napkin to eat the corn bread. Aside from those misfortunes, the rest of the food was very enjoyable and the staff was one of the friendliest. I would recommend coming here for the food but make sure your utensils and dishware are clean! read more

Felt Like My Grandma's Sunday Meal! This might be the "best" fried chicken I have EVER had! I don't know what they used but OMG it was good! The sides were also great, I had the Mac and cheese, yams and collards, all amazing. The collards were so tender and flavorful without being bogged down with meat like some can be. The homemade Mango Lemonade was soooooooo good, like give me pitcher! Overall, it was a great meal and I would drive back to New Haven just for this meal again! read more

This is the best restaurant that I have ever been to! All of the food that I had was amazing and I tried food off four different plates. We were given corn bread to start, which was buttery and fantastic. I then tried fried chicken, smothered chicken, ribs and numerous sides, and everything was delicious. Amazingly, the service here was on par with the excellent food. Our waiter answered all of our questions, came over to chat, gave us samples of some of the specials and even brought us extra cornbread. I can't wait to come back and support this fantastic business! read more

The fried chicken is ON POINT! Best fried chicken I've ever had. It was a little confusing what can be ordered with what, because there are some restrictions that was difficult to understand. The person taking the order was not very friendly and couldn't properly explain that properly, and was annoyed because she thought we were doing takeout instead of sit in. When we sat down, another waitress came to take our order, but we told her that we already ordered at the counter. She was very nice and changed our order for us so we got to eat there. Anyway, great chicken!!! The dessert was okay. Not a huge fan of pudding, but it was what was recommended. read more

By far the BEST soul food in CT. Heavenly. Flavors explode in your mouth! When you come here be prepared to catch the itis because it will for sure do the damn thing. I had the ribs with 4 sides (mac, Caribbean rice, yams, & plantain). So so so yummy. The cornbread is too. We also got a tub of the lemonade & it was the best lemonade I've had in a while. The atmosphere of the place is welcoming, the place was packed the whole time I was dining in. The interior & exterior are not that appealing but the people/food is what really makes the restaurant so amazing. Although this is the most expensive soul food restaurant I've been to in CT, it is worth it. I believe plates start at around $14 & go up to $17. I live in the Hartford area but would definitely take the drive here time to time. Thank y'all for blessing me. read more

Where should I begin?! This place is amazing! My husband and I found it via Yelp and it did not disappoint! The owner, Sandra, greeted us upon arrival and helped us decide what dishes to try. I had the Go-Green chicken w/ Mac&Cheese and fried Okra and my husband had the fried chicken, cabbage, and yams. Both were delicious and the portions were huge! And let's not forget the warm buttery corn bread delivered to our table before our meals! OMG it was all great! We will definitely be back the next time we find ourselves in CT! read more
