I've been coming here since I was a teenager, but I haven't been in years. It's hasn't changed - still wonderful! You walk into the door on the right and then order at the counter. Once you order, they give you and assigned table and a basket of the most amazing crunchy bread rounds. It all came back to me when I ordered the city secretary and the broccoli cheese soup was as good as I remembered. The fruit was fresh and sweet. The sandwich was a little plainer than I remembered (no avocado now), but it was still delicious. The dining room was divided into smaller rooms, and we sat in the back room. It was cozy, and our food came out just as we finished our bread! read more

Excellent place. Tucked away in historic downtown Richmond, Texas. Layer back and low key place. Only had desert this time, which was delicious! The servings were extremely generous. We must be unique, the staff seemed surprised and a little unhappy that we only came for desert, but they were pleasant enough. Great little getaway... read more

2nd visit in two weeks, which is a good sign. Pretty diverse menu and I might return to try another dish... On my first visit, I ordered Mr. B's salad, which is a combination of spinach salad, avocados and my choice of chicken salad (other option is grilled chicken). The chicken salad was delicious and the serving size of the entire meal was huge. My family ordered a variety of dishes that they enjoyed, except for the fries..they didn't like the fries. On the second visit, my spouse ordered the parmesean crusted chicken with brussell sprouts and onion rings. Oh my goodness.... that chicken was mouth watering-and had me wishing that I ordered that... Brussell sprouts were really well done too- like a char-grilled flavor with salt and pepper. I ordered the Cobb salad, which was listed as a garden salad with bacon, egg salad, crumbled blue cheese, avocados and chicken slices(i chose fried). The garden salad is advertised as "mixed greens" and, unfortunately, included mostly raw green cabbage and purple cabbage instead of mixed greens. Cabbage doesn't fit my idea of a Cobb Salad. The entire salad itself was a lot of ingredients..maybe too many for my personal choice. Otherwise, the bacon was fresh, egg salad was tasty, blue cheese was delicious and the avocados were ripe and plentiful. I didn't really eat much of the chicken because there was so much other protein in the salad. read more

Order the southwest grilled chicken salad and it was so fresh. My daughter got the turkey sandwich and it rocked! read more

Sandy McGee's has hit it out of the park!! When I lived in the Richmond Area, Sandy's was my go-to lunch spot. They have the best Broccoli Cheese Soup and Chicken Salad!! I now live in the Dallas Area and I was able to have my mom bring my favorites all the way up here to Dallas for my baby shower. The ordering was easy and they packed everything so nicely for the 4 1/2 hour drive up here. I am so happy we were able to make it happen! I can't wait to come back and dine in soon!! read more

Very pleasant lunch environment -- it's quite popular, for good reason. Very good sandwiches with other options (e.g., quiche), very pleasant and helpful staff. Always enjoyable. read more

Great food that is all homemade. Soups and sandwiches are a standout. Service was great and great atmosphere.

We just went for desserts as we just had a sweet tooth. We got the carrot cake and the Mexican fudge cake. They were both absolutely delicious BUT you better bring a friend to help you eat your dessert because a slice of carrot cake is enough for 3 people! You definitely get your moneys worth! It was moist and delicious. The Mexican fudge cake is amazing. You'd think a fudge cake would be too rich but it isn't! The cake portion is mildly sweet whereas the fudge topping is where the sweetness comes from. It's the perfect balance! The restaurant it's self is in a cute and cozy location. Very nice vibe. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is that service was lacking. We came about an hour before closing and our waitress was pretty absent. Someone else had to inform her that our desserts were ready to be served. It took about 15 minutes from ordering to be served but that wasn't the biggest deal to us. The part that was a bit irritating was how long it took her to bring our check and then to come back to get our card. About 20-25 minutes. She went upstairs and we didn't see her again for a while. A bit annoying but all in all, everything else was great. read more

I had friends that were shocked that I had never been to Sandy McGee's despite living in the area. I have now been three times. I dream about the spinach salad. Best I have ever had. Each time I've been here, I have ordered the City Secretary plate. Last I checked, it was $16. Not cheap, but the portions are plentiful. I promise you won't leave hungry. I get the half sandwich (smoked turkey), spinach salad, and cup of soup. I've had the broccoli cheese, tortilla, and a chilled avocado soup. They were all good. I've seen the fruit that comes with some plates and was shocked how much gorgeous fresh fruit is on the plate. They serve it with a little poppy seed dressing on the side. The pimento cheese sampler is tasty. I found it to be pretty salty in combination with the addictive little toasted breads that they serve. They're also famous for their chicken salad. I tried some that a friend shared and it was pretty good! Now, I'm not a big craft cocktail girl. The first time I went, I bit the bullet and ordered the Boarding House. It killed me to pay like $12 for a drink that, when arrived, was really tiny. Again, I realize that's not an unusual price, but I rarely order drinks like this. It was beautiful! Had a dehydrated fruit slice (orange, I think) atop an egg white layer. It was SO good!! I sipped on it for almost the whole lunch with my friend. I ended up going to Spec's on the way home to get the items to make it myself. The next time I went to Sandy McGee's, I ordered it again. This time, it was served in a different style glass, didn't have the dehydrated orange? slice on top, and appeared to have less served than the first time I ordered it. Perhaps just the different style serving vessel, not sure. Still tasty, but I definitely enjoyed the first one much better. An almost $40 lunch for one (meal, one cocktail, plus tax and tips) is pretty pricey, in my opinion, but it's a treat. It's a really comfortable, quaint environment worth of a leisurely lunch with a friend. But don't sit too long! They end up with lines out the door so take your visit with your friend down the sidewalks of downtown Richmond into some of the really unique little shops. Oh, forgot to add that I went for a baby shower for a friend's daughter. That was done so well! I wouldn't have thought such a busy place would be conducive for a small party, but it still felt cozy. Service was impeccable. I don't know his name, but each time I've been there is an older gentlemen who is so gracious and kind. He even said a blessing before our meal at the shower which brought tears to my eyes. Well done, Sandy! Well done. read more

Friendly staff good atmosphere. Prices are too high. $17 for a sandwich, with No fries or drink. Fries are $5. Broccoli cheddar soup had great flavor but No broccoli!! Don't think I will go back. read more

Stopped by as a recommendation and the food was excellent. I tried the quiche with a fruit salad and tortilla soup. They do have a full bar but did not have anything. I'll be back. read more

First off let me say I haven't been here in about 3 years. And I came back more than satisfied. It's so peaceful and beautiful inside this establishment! They now have a bar! I had an happy hour beer! My chicken came out amazing just like I remembered! The max out was beautiful but my husband couldn't have it. We didn't check all the ingredients! Taylor accommodated us so well! She was so amazing ! And the club was a better choice ! The food was literally like we hadn't left town! Would definitely be back! And I loved all the tap beers! Just wish I had more time to try them! Will definitely be back! read more

great food!!!! beyond wonderful!!!!! service, taste, friendliness...decor...love those smiles!!!! read more

Their broccoli cheddar soup is as delicious as they say! I travelled from Los Angeles for an event and had to stop by and try it!

Wow! What a hidden gem this place is! We had no idea it existed but decided to go since we were in the area. The layout is really cool in an old historic high ceilinged building. There's a decent sized bar and a variety of seating from deli style tables to bigger dinner type tables in the back. We had some mixed drinks that were fantastic (the Watertower and the Runaway Scrape). We had the tortilla soup (which was the best I've ever had) and quite a few different sandwiches. All five of the people in our party were very happy with everything. I think you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We'll definitely be back soon!!! read more

Always good food and the variety of choices was also good. The food is pricey especially for lunch.

We have enjoyed going here for years. Love the downtown charm. I want to try something different on the menu but I always end getting the green chili quiche. It's delicious! read more

This place is incredible. Hands down the best broccoli cheese soup I have ever had! The service is top notch! My family and I visited from Oklahoma and were so happy we stopped in here. My wife doesn't even like coconut cream pie and she ate about half of my pie. I got the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, and it was amazing! There's not many places like this around anymore. We look forward to coming back when we're back in Houston. read more

Food was good. Price was high. Service was mediocre at best. They tried to seat us where they wanted. But I insisted to sit near windows facing road. Later I over heard server say they were trying to save seats for the "regulars" what ever that meant. What happened to first come first serve. What happened to customer service. Ps: if they try and sit you in the back make it a point to sit where the "regulars" sit. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for more years than I can remember, and it has always been one of my favorites. Portions are generous (I often have leftovers which is rare for me), and I love the taste of the broccoli cheese soup. However, I've found myself eating there less and less. It has become terribly pricy, and the quality isn't quite as good as it once was. Not bad, but just not so amazing (as it once was). The broccoli cheese soup still tastes good, but is thinner in consistency and not always warm enough. The desserts remain huge and tasty. The service is hit or miss (in the past it was consistently good). Attempts over the years to modernize the decor took away the old school charm and made it rather sterile. I just want it to be more like it was in its prime. read more

I absolutely love this place. It is a family owned restaurant in historic downtown Richmond. Owned and operated by a mother and son (Sandy and Payton McGee). This place has some wonderful deli items with some comfort food. Some of my favorite items include the City Secretary (chicken salad), beef dip sub, and their specialty burgers. Any of these items can be served with fresh fruit and their famous broccoli and cheese soup! The bar has some wonderful specialty cocktails with my favorite being the barrel aged old fashion. Served with an ice ball, aged cherry and sun-dried orange slice. The cocktails are both creative and mixed to perfection. You can tell a lot of thought and hard work has gone into their menus and they execute them flawlessly. read more

Service & time the food takes to your table gets 3 stars. The menu itself gets 5 stars from me! I'm never disappointed with my meal when I come here. It is true the Broccoli Cheese Soup is the best in the land here, and there fresh fruit and poppy seed dip is to die for. I grew up coming here, but now that I live further in town it's such a treat to grab a bite here! read more

Always great food and service. The broccoli soup and fruit salad is the best. Sandwiches are big and so good.

Very disappointing! Every time I make a To-Go Order they forget something!! Please make sure your employees check off every item in the bag to make sure it's correct. Then I spoke to manager Andrea about my missing items and she said she couldn't credit my money back on my credit card. Why? Ridiculous. read more

Nice food and atmosphere I love it so much. The milk shake is also good I recommend you to try.

I have been coming here for years and LOVE the food.. today the service was not quite up to par. Went in for a late lunch at 3pm, and the restaurant was empty. We wanted to sit by the window and the lady walked over after we sat down and asked us to move so she could clean the windows to go home. Mind you I just paid $41.00 for 2 meals, and we can't sit where we want in an EMPTY restaurant?!?! read more

The broccoli cheese soup will blow your mind. The whole place has a real bistro vibe with great and friendly service coupled with an intimate setting. read more

Recently had dinner here and had their burger of the month, the Aloha burger. It was a very good burger, but the only way I knew about it was following @sandymcgees on Instagram. Everything I've tried has been delicious, the broccoli and cheese soup is amazing. Don't forget they have a full bar and the Pharmacy Cherry Limeade will taste like you are at an adult Sonic. read more

I brought my daughter and grandson for lunch on Tuesday. It was great to see how busy it was which speaks to the quality of the restaurant and consistency of the food. I had the chicken salad and broccoli cheese soup again because they are just great! My daughter had the BLT and thought it was a little greasy but that might have been because of the amount of bacon on the sandwich! Very generous! My 7 year old grandson is a VERY picky eater and devoured the chicken fingers and onion rings! We even treated ourselves to the coconut cream and chocolate pie! Both pies were very fresh with a light, flaky crust. Couldn't eat it all but sure appreciated the leftovers later. I would just like to comment that I realize it is hard to find waitstaff these days so I understand the efficiency of ordering at a counter and having food brought to the table. I do however wonder if it is fair to ask the patron to give a 25% tip when the service is minimal. read more

Love the sandwiches at this restaurant. Staff are always very friendly, and the ambiance is very nice here.

Food is reasonably priced and very good, but the selection is very limited. Craft beers are tasty. Spirit selection is very limited.

This was my first visit to Sandy McGee's in the historic district on Morton Street. At prime time parking can be limited with street parking on Morton and on 5th Street along side of the building. If you're dining in (before 5:00) grab a menu by the door or at the counter and decide what you're having. After 5 p.m. they have table service. Once you've decided place your order at one of the two counters. Once you place your order they assign you a table number which are well marked. You grab your glass, filled with your silverware, from the counter and pour your beverage at the fountain area. The menu has Sandy's Legendary Combo deals with sandwiches, salad an soup combos ranging from $14 - $16.50. You'll find sandwiches from chicken, tuna and egg salad, po'boy, French dip, chicken, clubs crossiants to BLT's. Several Soups (Brocolli Cheese, Chicken Tortilla, Chilled Avocado, Crab & Corn Chowder) and Salads are available from fruit, garden, spinach and pasta side salads ($7.25 - $12) to entree salads (all $15). If you're looking for a heftier menu the Grill options has shrimp and chicken dinners, a large Sante Fe Spud, Hamburgers and Cajun Shrimp Po' Boys. They haven't forgotten those 12 and under and offer a children's menu. I ordered a bowl of the Crab & Corn Chowder ($1 more) as an appetizer. The chowder had a nice balance of ingredients in a slightly thick base. I enjoyed the chowder flavor but would have preferred they left off the thin strips of tortilla. They were distracting, IMHO, and not necessary. I ordered the whole French Dip (1/2 for dinner later) and a side of onion rings ($3 upcharge). Sandwiches are normally served with a bag of chips and pickle. The perfectly cooked medium rare sirloin roast is served on a large, soft but lightly toasted baguette with horseradish, a pickle and au jus for dipping. The meat was truly delicious, tender, a large portion, seasoned well and a perfect accompaniment with the lightly salty au jus. Ususally the au jus is to salty for dipping but this honestly was a perfect combo. One of the best I've had. The onion rings were prepared as I requested (lightly brown) and was a generous serving. The onions rings are smaller but had a very good flavor. My only complaint is all the food is delivered at one time. By the time I finished my soup my onion rings were cold and my sandwich was room temperature. I guess I just need to eat faster or come after 5 p.m. for table service. Everything was tasty, fast service, generous portions, prepared well and I do recommend you try the French Dip. read more

While service is often spotty, I love Sandy McGree's food. I went last night to pick up an order and the register wasn't being manned by a petulant and condescending late teen girl. The gentleman and woman who helped me were both fantastic and went out of their way to provide great service. Made it a great experience. In terms of food, get the same thing almost every time. Avacado BLT and Broccoli Cheese Soup. They are both fantastic. And we always get a large bag of the "crunchies". IE, the bread rounds. They are made with crack, I think. Deserts are wonderful as well. Especially the banana pudding. If you can overlook the usual service issues, the food is worth it. read more

The food is delicious; however, very expensive. I've only dined in once, but had their food a few other times.

The food is good and the prices are fair . The staff are also very friendly as well .

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here regularly for several months now. I wish I had found it sooner. I've tried several menu items and they have all been great. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The mixed drinks are amazing. The old fashioned is one of the best I've ever had. Also Tanya the bartender is the best! read more

This was my first time visiting Sandy McGee's thanks to my mother . Nice simple building and set up . Parking space can be a bit limited.

This hidden gem is quaintly situated in the heart of downtown Richmond. Try and go early for lunch because it gets PACKED! When you walk in, you place your order at the register. They'll give you a table number, cup, and the tastiest pieces of crispy bread chips I have ever had! I don't know how they make them (because I've tried to duplicate it), but it's so buttery and crunchy and addicting! I always ask for extra and they never disappoint! I'm a creature of habit, I always order the City Secretary. That includes a half sandwich, your choice of soup AND salad! My favorites are the club croissant; buttery flakey croissant with turkey, bacon, swiss, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo with broccoli cheese soup (if you haven't tried this, you ain't livin'!) and their fruit salad. So let's talk about their fruit salad, a variety of fruit including but not limited to strawberries, bananas, cantaloupe, pineapple, grapes, and apples, paired with the most amazing poppy seed dressing I've ever had! It's sweet and salty and just straight up delicious! They have a variety of salads, sandwiches, soups, quiches, and hot plates made daily. I always leave happy and full! They've been in business for quite sometime and I don't see that letting up anytime soon! read more
