We stopped at the Fairhope Marina and walked into the downtown for a quick bite and Sandra's was the first place we saw and we wanted a place with a patio/outdoor seating. The employees were friendly and the menu was simple and small. We ordered the Greek salad with chicken salad and the trio salad (chicken salad, fruit salad, pasta salad). I would give 4 stars for the patio and quaint vibe but the food was about a 3. I was hoping the food would be much healthier than it was. Both the Greek salad and trio salads were swimming in dressing, including the fruit salad. Next time, I would probably just come here for dessert. The homemade desserts look fantastic. read more

Had high expectations because I've heard great things, but was surprised when I found out that the cashier had quite the attitude. The lady making the sandwiches was a delight however, chicken salad was doll and lacked flavor. Was not impressed. I wouldn't pay more than two dollars. read more

Delicious and fresh food! Had the New Yorker and the wife had their chicken salad. Both were very good and full flavored. Friendly service and loved the atmosphere. read more

We enjoyed a Turkey Melt, pimento cheese, and kale soup. All the ingredients were excellent quality and very fresh. Everything was delicious and homemade tasting. We thought it was reasonably priced considering McDonalds meal prices are not a lot less these days. I would say Sandra's is a healthier choice. Cute little corner shop with a nice patio. The flies were out in full force, but realize there's probably not a lot that can be done about nature when you're outside. Still 5 stars!! read more

It was just a simple, pleasant sandwich shop. atmosphere was fun, food was simple and delicious! can recommend

I heard about a delicious coconut pie offered at Sandra's place and had to try it! I took a quick glance at their website and decided this would be a great spot for lunch, too- I was right! A chalkboard menu has all items listed plus specials of the day and soup of the day. There is a pick 2 option for soup or salad with a half cold sandwich. I chose Reuben and my partner chose the club sandwich. My Reuben was so delicious! Good quality corned beef, a generous portion of sauerkraut and dressing sandwiched between two perfectly grilled pieces of marbled rye bread. I had a bite of my partner's club sandwich which was also delicious. Good quality bread, thick sliced tomatoes that were juicy, crispy lettuce, a meaty piece of bacon, and turkey. There may have been a bit too much Mayo on this sandwich, but I would still get it again and just say go easy on the mayonnaise. The sandwiches were served with kettle cooked chips. And finally to get to the pie- it was as good as I had heard. I chose the thickest slice I could. It was moist, coconutty and topped with a delicious coconutty frosting. Will definitely be back to try out some other options. read more

Great place to stop for lunch! Salads were wonderful and served quickly! Loved the feel of the place! Afterwards, we enjoyed a fantastic slice of Key Lime Pie! read more

Good, but expensive food. Simple sandwiches costing premium prices. The ladies working there are outstanding and I would recommend visiting just because of them. Coconut cake was excellent. Cool, fun look to the place. Plenty of outdoor seating. Service was top notch. read more

This is a great sandwich shop, that I try to visit whenever I'm in downtown Fairhope. Their desserts are also outstanding. Tell'em " Bear" sent you. Lol read more

Food, Service, and atmosphere was outstanding. Wife and I split a rueben sandwich and a slice of coconut crème pie...homemade pie was delicious and the Rueben was spot on! Sat outside and enjoyed the breeze and food. Highly recommend Sandra's Place for a quick lunch or snack. Would have included a photo of our food but it was gone before I thought about it !! read more

It's friendly and easy and wonderful day after day after day. Specials and hard to find soup specials. Chicken and dumplings and great salads and desserts made daily . Many types of salads and pies and cakes. Patio dining with umbrellas. Close to pretty shops too. Clothing and jewlery , gifts too. Hair spots. A fun walking area. read more

The food was delightful! The service staff was very pleasant! We enjoyed sitting outside the patio to enjoy the surrounding scenery!

Sandras had good food, but nothing out of the ordinary. The chicken salad was tasty, but needed salt and pepper. The tomato soup was very thick and tomato-y. The fruit is mostly canned, but there was a nice variety. I would come back for a quick bite if in the area. read more

A great Fairhope sandwich restaurant! The turkey melt and the patty melt were delicious and plentiful! Good crowd at lunch. The pies and cakes "are to die for!" read more

It's a deli with breakfast sandwiches and other deli sandwiches that are pricey considering they are deli sandwiches that come with a bag of chips or a small side of fruit. My turkey sandwich had light mayo with lettuce and tomato for $8.50...and I opted for the bag of chips. Nice location on the corner with plenty of outdoor seating and a few tables inside. There is no table service. You go inside and order at the counter. read more

Excellent food, delicious desserts! Always friendly. I eat here regularly. I especially love the coconut cake.

We went in the restaurant 2 hours before a night parade. It is a cute, tiny, locally owned place. We both had a Reuben and dessert. Ambience was nice, food was good, but expensive. read more

Good food, good people, nice atmosphere. The harvest Salad is very refreshing and they always have a couple of soups of the day. They make cakes as well. If you like sweet tea.... This is the place to go. Very quaint read more

Price marked was not what we were charged even considering local upcharge for credit. Sandwich was mediocre at best. Staff attitude was bad. It took way too long to get a simple sandwich. read more

Cute place. Carrot cake was sooo good. Service was slow but the ladies are so sweet.

Sandra's is the epitome of Fairhope. It's quaint, fresh, outdoorsy and friendly. My friend and I stopped in one beautiful Friday afternoon during a Fairhope shopping binge. One look at those pies and we were powerless to resist them. She had coconut cream and I had chocolate silk. They gave them to us when we ordered, so we were lucky enough to enjoy a little dessert first. I ordered a half chicken salad sandwich and a cup of shrimp and corn chowder. Bev had a pimento cheese sandwich and she had some sort of kale soup. We both enjoyed our soups and sandwiches, but those pies...ohmygosh...they were totally divine! Of course they were homemade, which is also the case with the soups, pimento cheese and chicken salad. There are a few tables inside the restaurant, but like everyone else, we opted to sit outside on the shaded patio and enjoy the weather and the view. Sandra's has great food and atmosphere, and sits right across the street from one of my favorite gift shops and right next door to one of my favorite clothing boutiques, so there's a 100% chance I'll find my way back in there. read more

The club here is really good. The soup of the day was some kind of white chicken soup and it was just okay. The coconut cake was amazing. We plan on trying them again soon. read more

What a fabulous place for sandwiches. The food is delicious and it's one of the nicest casual restaurants in town for outdoor dining -- the patio is beautiful. Very family-friendly also. When we left, Jim, the owner, ran after us (at least 1 block) with my husband's wallet. So kind of him, thank you! We'll be back! read more

Delicious and the sweetest staff! We walked in 2 minutes before they were closing and they didn't even bat an eye. Definitely will be back! We had the chicken salad, tuna melt, grilled cheese and Caesar salad... rave reviews all around. Don't miss this great local fixture. read more

Great spot for lunch!! You should definitely get the chocolate cake or any pie topped with meringue! They make what I think is the best meringue I've ever had. They also serve beautiful, filling salads, and perfectly done regular sandwiches. Service is friendly and efficient! read more

I stepped in and automatically got a horrible greeting. They made me feel guilty for simply asking for a a plastic utensil. The face I saw right when I walked to the door was an angry woman. She put her frustration (that I didn't cause) onto me, very unprofessional. read more

The place is very clean and the people are very friendly. The food is good, but the portions are small...I just paid $10.50 before taxes for a 12oz styrofoam bowl of chicken pot pie and a fruit salad the size of a ketchup dipping cup...for an entire meal...almost 88 cents per ounce, for chicken pot pie... I'm not trying to be mean...but I'm grumpy when I'm hungry. read more

I had an amazing salad at Sandra's! It's a very pricy place for sandwiches I'd make at home. The quality is great, the service is good. They have a very nice selection to choose from. My wife and I enjoyed sitting outside. It's a nice place to try, but there are better value options in the area to choose from. read more

I have to say right away their desserts are the best I have ever eaten! Their chocolate cake is a party in the mouth experience!!! Talk about moist, OMG! The frosting is an OMG too! Then there is the coconut cake is just as fantastic! And their lemon meringue pie is to die for! My mother and I ordered 3 slices of each and we didn't care what others were thinking! We kept coming back ordering wonderful Greek salads with chicken salad and nuts! All homemade here! Breakfast was awesome too! We would love to be able buy and have them sent to us in Florida where we live!!! If they opened in Naples, Florida they would hit the jackpot! read more

Ate here for lunch today before the mystic mutts parade. Small place. Friendly staff. Casual atmosphere. Food came in baskets with plastic forks. Sandwiches and burgers and king cake. Food was very good, but was a little shocked my bill was over $60 before tip. Also annoyed that they charged .50 for tap water. All in all experience was good. I would go back for a second visit for sure. read more

Sandra's has been a must stop every time we visit fairhope. Whether it's a pimento cheese sandwich or a slice of coconut cake on the patio, we have to pop in. A couple of months ago, they had strawberry cake absolutely delicious. So good, we made a special trip from Baton Rouge just to have this cake for my daughters first birthday. It was absolutely delicious. Added a couple of fresh flowers and a cake topper! My whole family was so impressed by this delectable strawberry cake with cream cheese icing! Can't wait for another visit to fairhope. Thank y'all!!! read more

Went here once and had a premade lunch during the arts festival and was not too impressed... I'm glad we went back and tried their lunch/brunch!!! The service was wonderful! Like having your loving Grandmother serve you a delicious meal! My bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was VERY good. I'm not even sure what made such a simple sandwich so good but it is worth going back for! The Bloody Mary was very tasty and had a good spice to it! Others in my party ordered the stuff tomato which was good but maybe a little too much tomato and not enough chicken or tuna salad.... I didn't care because my sandwich was great with the fruit on the side with a wonderful poppyseed dressing! Dessert was also tasty with a super rich chocolate cake and a banana creme pie that was one of the best I've had! The meringue was to die for! I will be back for sure!!! read more

I love that this place is in an old, small building. The seating is limited so get here early if you want to sit inside (during the hot summer or cold winter days) I tried the rueben sandwich - amazing! I make it a point to try ruebens at most places. My mom makes a great one so I always compare and this one was almost there. It was the perfect blend of flavor, the right texture (not too moist and not too crunchy) and the correct amount of ingredients. It looked like more than I could eat but I was able to finish it. I washed it down with Blueberry Beer which is very refreshing in the summer heat. The beer was sweet but not overpowering - just enough to balance the salt of the sandwich. If you are in Fairhope stop by and give this place a try! There were some other items on the list that I will be back to try next! read more

A sandwich place that stands above others! Fresh and creative sandwiches! Corurteous and good humored service. Sudewalk patio was a delightful place to eat and enjoy abpretty town and watch people. Some mischievious customers added text to a small chalkboard outlining the iced tea options, adding "all choices come with 2oz shots of liquor, unless special ordered". Being on the road, I politely requested no alchohol in my iced tea. My wife looked shocked, the young lady behind the counter sweetly commented, "Oh he doesn't bother me, we don't serve that kind of tea here, with a smile. She then asked me if I was from New Orleans and the, very quietly, if I was a "coonass". This us a term that ine cajun reserves for another, and is not used in polite company. Coming from her, however, it felt like flirting. Sandra's is now I place I would go out of my way for. Food, service, atmosphere! Bring a stick of chalk with you for some fun! read more
