    a plate of salad with grilled salmon and peaches

    We stopped here on our way back from the city for lunch and we're very surprised with the quality of the food. We ordered the special of the day which was a spicy salmon on a bed of lettuce with raspberry's, peaches, feta, avocado, pecans and carrots. The dressing was made fresh that morning. It was amazing! The portion size was very good. You walk up to the counter and order your food. They give you a number and you pick up your food when your number is called. There hours are very specific so make sure you check before attending.

    Do not hesitate to stop in for a bite even though the place is in a corporate office. Delicious soup and salad in a bright airy space. Enjoy!

    Food is cooked to perfection and the service is amazing!!! This is definitely a hidden gem in Bannockburn.

    Salmon salad

    Great salmon salad. Would give this a 4.5 star instead of 5 due to a few brown spots on the Lettuce and the service is a bit slow.

    Santiago Salmon Salad. This is awesome!! Full of fresh vegetables, quinoa, guacamole, fresh salmon made to order, and a drizzle of lime cilantro crema. I agree this place is a diamond in the rough. The best $10.21 meal I ever had. Filling and healthy too!! Kudos to this fine dining mom and pop restaurant!

    Great salads. Convenient location. Would come back. They are offering Curbside and over the phone payment now so it's easy for pickup.

    Hidden Gem for lunch! Quality ingredients, and they make their own hot sauces. Don't go for ambiance - just really solid food.

    Hands down the best breakfast and lunch place in the area. Getting Chef John's food at these prices is a steal! Can't wait to go back

    It's a hidden gem, located in an office building but if you go around to the back entrance, the cafe is the first thing you see.

I entered by a staff member who took my order and he was awesome from start to finish. I ordered the Amazing Crabcake appetizer that came with a bed of salad, every item in the salad complimented the crab cake and the portion size was perfect. Then I had the Mushroom Rissotto, & half of the serving it was filling for me, if u love mushroom and love risotto a must have. I finished off with their homemade Caramel Ice cream. First bite u can tasted the Brown butter salted caramel and it was so perfectly sweet and savory! What a Gem!

    We've driven by this restaurant SO many times and have yet to come by until now. What a fun…read moreexperience we had! When you pull up to the plaza you would think anything of the restaurant but when you go inside it's a fun colorful experience. When we were seated we were brought waters and menus. We took some time to look at the menus but ultimately took our server's suggestions on drinks. I ended up having a virgin Rose Colored Glasses drink and absolutely loved it. The drinks were large and I felt they were worth the price. My husband got an old fashioned. To start we got the cheese curds, and when I tell you these cheese curds still live rent free in my mind I kid you not. They were so good, the cheese was battered in a tempura batter with a truffle cream sauce and it made for such an incredible dish! For our entrees we got the pork chop with the brown butter sauces and bavette with a red wine reduction. The pork chop was great with the brown butter you just gotta make sure you mix it up, and the red wine was a bit too salty for me but it was okay because I ended up loving the steak by itself! For our sides we got the grilled zucchini under the snacks option instead of the sides option because I wanted all the fixings. It was a great choice! The fixings really made and I could eat a plate of that and just be happy (with the cheese curds of course). The wiped potatoes were great as well. Now I was going to pass on dessert because I was SO full already, but twist my arm when you tell me the cookie dough ice cream is a must try. It had real cookie dough chunks on top and bottle and the vanilla ice cream was not boring vanilla, I ate almost half of that bowl and couldn't stop. The chocolate chip cookie dough was house made and it was the perfect blend of sweet and salty that tied the whole ice cream bowl together. Can't recommend that enough as well. All in all, we had a great experience! It was so fun to see so many regulars and so many new folks who came in to dine at the same time as us and we all peeked to see who ordered what before we ordered and got some great recs as you can see! Can't wait to come back to enjoy my favorites and more!

Have tried breakfasts and lunches. The French toast and the tuna sandwich are favorites. But you can't go wrong with anything you pick. You're always asked if you want more coffee too. What makes this place special is the camaraderie. Darcy, the owner, is warm and can be lovingly teasing with her regulars. She is the exact personality you want in a diner. The patrons are just as welcoming and fun. You don't have to socialize but it feels so inviting even to listen and watch. I can't get enough of this place. I am also thrilled to learn they'll open a second location soon. Darcy and her employees deserve all the success. Sandy's: Thanks for filling up our bellies with food and laughter!

There are just a few tables out front, a cozy diner counter, and some tables in the back--it has that small-town charm that makes you feel right at home. We had a party of seven, and they made sure to seat us all together without a problem. The restaurant was super clean, the food was delicious, and the prices were very fair. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, checking on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. When she found out my son had just graduated, she said she would have given him a discount--but since he had already snuck off to the counter to pay, she gave him a coffee cup instead. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and really showed how much they care about their guests. I'll be recommending Sandy's to everyone I know. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.
