Sausage Breakfast Sandwich
austin s.

me and wifey came for breakfast and we had a great time. this is absolutely the best local breakfast i've had in a while. the hash browns are so well seasoned. the bacon is near perfect. the breakfast sandwich was delicious (and HUGE!) and it was just a cute and nice experience. its cash only, which is kinda eh but they have an ATM inside for convenience. overall very happy!! 8.5 happy dancing pancakes out of 10.

Nice small mom and pop joint. Food was very good and it's the right price. Nice little place to start meetings up in the morning. Friendly staff and will be back...pancakes were

Great home style food cooked one order at a time. One of the best breakfasts that I had eating out in years. The Sands opened in 1953 and I would bet they are using the same recipes. Food was great, portions are big, service was top notch. Place was packed so food delivery took about 15 min. Don't be a Karen. They will kick you out and ban you back to Waffle House if you act stupid.

Really good breakfast! And too much to eat in one sitting, for the Ole Time Favorite anyway. I appreciated the bologna very much. Not very often you see it offered as a breakfast meat up here! And theirs was both thick and tasty. Biscuits were good too. Hubs wanted the daily special of Chicken & Dumplings (he saw somebody at the next table get served it), but they were already out. I think that says somethin' right there, don't you?

French toast - after covered in syrup!

I used to eat here on a regular basis when I was in college over 10 years ago. I was in town for the weekend and made time to eat there for breakfast. It was in a bigger location/new building which was nice - and we didn't have to wait at all and I remember it always being super crowded before. I tried the Big Man's Breakfast because I wanted a variety and it was only 11.99. I got eggs, bacon, toast, hash browns, and the best French toast I have ever had - it came with 3 pieces. I honestly cannot believe how much food I got for 11.99 and how good everything was! I always order hash browns well done anytime I go to breakfast and 99.9% of the time they are not well done and these were perfect (wish I took a pic)! Everything was delicious and the service was also great! This is truly a hidden gem in Cape. If you have a chance check it out! It is cash only but they have an ATM!

I feel like people need to know this is CASH ONLY before they drive there. I'm very disappointed.

Be patient when you come here. I could tell this was a small family run place that is still their…read morebearings. That being said, it was just ok. The beignets were actually great. Fried perfectly and with the delicious chocolate or raspberry sauce I thought were both amazing. My breakfast bowl was just mediocre. It had all the makings of a great dish but lacked some seasoning and better balanced proportions. About 80% of the dish was just hashbrowns and tater tots, way too much to stomach. The Texas toast was also lackluster, feeling under toasted and small for what's typical of that side. I also ordered the Fruity Tootie which was to liquidy and had too many chia seeds. My sister ordered the breakfast croissant which she didn't finish. It had a dry croissant with not enough meat or cheese on it. Plus a mound of overcooked tater tots. This place could be great, but at the moment it's not.

I will never go there again. They list that they have "specials" every day but fail to tell you…read moreit's only for 3 hours out of the day. Also just found out they charge everyone $2.50 for take out orders. When I asked why? I never heard of that , the owner said they have to recoup their money somehow! I have been a restaurant owner for 40 years and would be embarrassed to charge my customers for their carry out styrofom container ( which cost is .10 cents not $2.50. Come on, do a better job. They will not keep customers like that!
