    Liver and Onions, mashed potatoes and gravy okra and beets.
    Haywood M.

    The liver and onions were great. My wife had a tenderloin and she said it was awesome. The customer service was impeccable and the kitchen manager Bobby Hines was attentive. The waitress I don't recall her name was great as well. It's a nice place. It's bigger than the old place they were in previously. Bathrooms were clean. Overall nice place!!!! I will be returning to try their famous fried chicken!!

    Fried Chicken a little bland but not bad at all.

    Tenderloin was very good. Fried chicken a little bland but good. Guy in the kitchen was very nice and friendly.

    The food is amazing here, service is excellent, and it has now become a family tradition to have breakfast when visiting my brother. My sister in law orders the same sandwich but the Leilani. My brother loves the biscuits and gravy, mom orders and omelet. Previously my father has ordered the country fried steak.

    Tenderloin sandwich and onion rings perfection

    Though not on 40 any more I decided to try them. They are part of PT's in Oak Grove so why not? After Hospital Hill, my mom and I ate lunch at Sandy's. (This girl has to eat after a hot run). I had the obvious, tenderloin sandwich and onion rings. I could only eat half of the sandwich it was the size of the plate. I added hot sauce on it and it was delicious. The breading was seasoned as expected. The onion rings, huge order. My mom had an omelet. It had 3 eggs. I don't eat eggs and can't review it. The restaurant was roomy, social distanced with quaint but few decorations. The service was great fir a Saturday! We got our food quickly. Definitely will visit again.

    This place used to be good.

    The food is good here, the service is kinda slow, and it's expensive to eat here ! That's why I quit going here, too pricey ! Hope this helps !

    I was in the mood for a home-cooking breakfast so we stopped into Sandy's. We were seated at a half booth/half table and unfortunately, the booth seat was very dirty. I had to wipe it out before we could sit and then I noticed the seam in the boot was even more dirty. It had clearly been quite some time since it was wiped out. The food was...just okay. The French toast lacked cinnamon...as in, I could not see or taste any. It was also oddly dry. Our service was slow and our table was never bussed for dirty dishes.

We always opt for the fresh mashed potatoes, the honey glazed baby carrots, and country seasoned green beans... They're always perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Even the side of red beans and rice or the broccoli cheese casserole are always a comforting choice. You just can't go wrong. We love the honey buttered fresh croissants they generously serve, complimentary to everyone. I'lI tell you a secret price hack... If you order the veggie plate, which gives you 5 sides: 4 regular sides of your choice, plus a soup or salad (or substitute a 5th side choice instead) then add on a side of 3 thicken tenders (which are hand battered and cooked until they're a moist, tender, crunchy perfection of a tender.) for only $3.99, you'll get a real awesome deal!l It's like ordering their regular chicken tender dinner - but only now, you're getting 5 side choices!!! Doing it that way, you're getting 3 extra sides for the same basic price of the regular tender dinner with only 2 sides! You're welcome! That's my not-so-secret hack now. We really like using the get in line benefit on their website as well No waiting!!! You can't go wrong with eating here. They seem to care about your experience.

    Cheddars will always be one of my favorite restaurants…read more The food was definitely the highlight. We ordered the chicken wraps and battered fish, and both were really good. The chicken wraps were flavorful, fresh, and filling without being too heavy, and the fish was cooked just right--crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can tell they put effort into making things taste homemade rather than rushed. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, making it a good spot to sit down and enjoy a meal without feeling hurried. Service was also solid--friendly, attentive, and everything came out in a reasonable time. Overall, this location really delivered on both quality and experience. If you're looking for a casual place with consistently good food, this Cheddar's is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back again.

It seemed to be placed under a heat lamp until the meat was dried out, than slathed with brown gravy just before serving. I received one carrot, a piece of potato and mashed potatoes drowned in brown gravy. Edible,but not worth what we were charged. For me, the highlight was going to be Apple Cobbler a la Mode. The presentation was spectacular,but the menu clearly stated that this was baked in their kitchen. I took one spoonful and it was still partially frozen. I sent it back, and was told it would be put back in the oven, but it was back in two minutes, and the plate was piping hot. I asked if went back into the oven, and was told it was put into a microwave oven. It was at best luke warm, so I ate the ice cream and left the entire cobbler, less two small spoonfuls, on the table. I was offered a to go box, which I refused. I was there with my sons, who didn't want me to make a scene. Had I been there by myself, I would have had a long, difficult conversation with the manager. I may go back for breakfast (which is served all day), but not for lunch or dinner. I would have gotten the same level of food if I bought a Healthy Choice frozen dinner.

    (Review from 8/8/2019: Transferred from closed secondary account.)…read more *This place is a lovely, unique restaurant and bar. I believe they are privately owned and operated. They offer daily specials, weekly trivia contests, and a live music. Entertainers generally play live music several nights a week. Sinclairs host mostly acoustic performers, mainly on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Most of the entertainers feature guitar playing solo artists in the bar area. As for the food... it's all pretty tasty. Served in an upscale fashion. And worth mentioning is THE ABSOLUTE BEST MEATLOAF I have ever eaten outside of my own kitchen; and yes, possibly even better than my own... which speaks volumes because I'm generally an excellent cook and extremely particular diner. (Not bragging - just emphasizing that my standards are high). This meatloaf is hearty, rich, and moist, with a firm meaty texture (Not over done with fillers). It's cut generously and served over freshly mashed potatoes topped with a complex & flavorful sauce I'd liken to a rich brown gravy with a hint of herbs & possibly a tad bit of steak sauce for good measure... Its the star. I just wished they served this on their daily menu! Speaking of... their entire menu is thoughtfully made, and the chef deserves major kudos for their talents in the kitchen. I will go with friends in tow to enjoy a night off in the kitchen, to enjoy some of the best meals our city has to offer. Looking for something do? Sports Watch Parties are a good time: Sinclair's serve as the neighborhood hub when it comes to watching our very own Kansas City Chiefs play. They will also host other major local or national sporting events. If sports aren't your thing, try your hand at trivia night on Mondays. You'll be glad you didn't stay home!

It did NOT disappoint. They have a variety of breads, protein choices and accruements to embellish their sandwiches. SUPER tasty and GREAT plating makes their food mighty tempting. Vance, the young man who took our orders, was knowledgeable about selections and patient with we "newbies". The layout appears to be a "fast food joint". Nothing could be further from the truth. Genuine silverware with REAL "LIVE" PLATES, ROOMY, comfortable booths or table and chairs makes for a relaxing environment. Allowing for lingering and conversation with good friends. We will DEFINITELY be returning soon!

    First day of a new job Lunch!…read more New to this side of town and stopped in here for a little comfort of something I recognized. The Atmosphere - Well it was clean and tidy. Again there is little personality to most locations these days yet the functionality and the ability to clean quickly is at a premium. But, there is little about the restaurant that is comfortable or memorable. So this gets the standard 3 stars. The Staff - I had the good fortune to interact with several of the staff members this time. And ALL of them were extremely nice, kind, and friendly. They went out of their way to check on me several times and remind me that I could get a refill on my drink. They gall at the checkout even offered to bring me the desert that I had on rewards that was set to expire soon. Some of the best Customer Service I have seen in a while. - 5 stars. The Food - Well this is the number one reason to swing in. They have a number of great creations and options to pick more than one. They do let you customize a sandwich should you want. I think this is as good as it gets (unless you head to a "real" deli where YOU decide what is on the sandwich. This visit I had the Pick 2 (which is common) where I had a fantastic Club sandwich and a Chef salad. Pretty healthy over all. (I used extra dressing and ate brookie bites so scratch the healthiness). 4 stars Overall - This was a fantastic visit to an old favorite. The food could have just a little more wow... and by now you all know how I feel about the clean/institutional look and feel of eateries. A perfect lunch space. I'll be back often as they are good, healthyish, and close.
