Hell yeah Sandy's. Wife has been passing Sandy's the last few weeks going towards her new job and…read morekept talking about it. We opted to go for lunch and as well rolled up 1:30 on a Sunday people were waiting outside to be seated. Uh-oh, Wife goes in to check wait time, I wait outside and a patron who just finished her meal looks at me and says "it's worth the wait!", and it's says "wanna sit at the counter?, no wait!" Yup I do. I enter. Cute little old school local spot. Love it. We sit, get menus and drinks. Look around. Old and homey, awesome. Lots of home style grub available. I order French dip, wife gets the pot roast. Food comes out, nice l sized portions. Delicious. Were initially bothered watched Sandy (we believe) verbally beat up one of the workers. A younger guy with a pony tail. We're thinking "what a B----, poor kid", and hen she grabs him and starts joking with him. She looks over with a smile and says, "don't worry, he's my grandson" oh yeah Sandy, kick his ass. That's a whole different story. Teach that boy how it's done. Great experience, our first visit and we felt like we were home.

Zoe took care of us. The food and drinks were good. We enjoyed the gluten-free peach French toast, a grilled chicken wrap with fries, a pistachio chai tea, a colada cooler. Food was displayed on plate wonderfully. Portions are ample. All tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely would order from and dine in here again. 9/10

Good: waitress, steak, potato's, pork roll, pancakes, coffee, music…read more Reason we wouldn't return: there are only 10 tables in here. The hostess has this look of doom on her face every time someone comes in. Table of 3. Doom. Table of 4. Doom. Table for 2 and a car seat. Super DOOM. Can you move us. Doom. She looks like she's looking across the Cheesecake Factory for a table. And I'm looking like is there another restaurant in the back? Nope. Just doom. We were waiting for a table no big deal. I'm not an instant gratification person. I'll wait an hour for a good place. And they tried to accommodate us by sitting us at a bistro table for 2. I'm like no we'll wait and they're like everyone just sat down you're gonna have to wait a long time and my husband was like OK. This is fine so I just went along with that. First thing you need to fix that table it is wobbly flip it over grab a screwdriver and make it not wobbly. Second take those tables unless you were ordered by a fire marshal to only have that size throw them in the garbage and put four regular tables there. Not round. Not itty-bitty. Four tables for four people it would certainly alleviate the face of doom. No one might wonder God why are you going on and on about the tables well for three people three breakfasts I waited for my food for over an hour so I paid attention to every thing that was around me in the itty-bitty teeny tiny restaurant. The bacon was mushy. I don't know if it was raw, but it was mushy. The parts that were cooked to my liking were really good, but I didn't want to eat it because I just kept thinking is this raw? My last little issue is all the little charges on the bill. I don't expect food to be cheap. I don't expect breakfast to be cheap either. I am realistic. I know that when I go out to eat likely I'm spending a minimum of $100. One of the meals we ordered was steak and eggs so I definitely knew we were spending over $100. However. Charging $.20 for cream for coffee is such a stupid business decision. That stuff gets you one star reviews, and makes old people really mad. Work it into the price of the coffee. The girl asked me what kind of toast I wanted, pumpernickel, some sort of grain bread or I can't remember what the third one was. Why are you charging me for toast? It's supposed to come with my food. Was the pumpernickel toast more money? Why didn't you say that? Why do I have to scour the menu for all these little hidden charges? It's stupid you need to fix that. Overall, I think the place is good, but it certainly needs some tweaking the people running around the dining room with the exception of the girl who is our waitress with the braids just looks lost. Some people got an explanation of the menu. Some people didn't some people look like they come there 100 times a month. And I'm sure there's a reason for that. The food wasn't bad but for a first time it was also my last time cause I don't mind spending $100 on food and sitting down to eat, but it needs to be better then just good and it missed the mark. But for the love of god get rid of those stupid small middle tables they're not even big enough for 2 people. I do wish you nothing but success though. Change the tables and retrain doom face and I'll make it 5 stars.

I had the sausage and cheese omelette with cheddar, it was very good with a lot of cheese even if the eggs were a little overcooked. A mountain of home fries, and buttered rye toast.

My sister had the Greek salad in the tortilla bowl which she devoured so I'm guessing it was good. I forgot to take pictures of the food all I have is Yankee pictures!

Today I tried them again and ordered french toast and sausage. OMG! 2 slices of thin sliced bread that were flattened down on the plate. I tasted one of the slices and I don't think the bread was dipped in an egg latter. It was as if they put a little butter on the bread and toasted it on the grill and it was 100% tasteless. The sausage links were boiled in water instead of being deep fried or grilled to a golden brown. they were gray. I'm done having breakfast at this place

I ordered the Mom Burger, which is a Swiss burger topped with mushrooms on a brioche bun. It also came with a good portion of fries and a side of pickles. The burger itself was pretty solid -- good flavor and a satisfying size. At $16, the portion felt fair considering the amount of fries you get with it. One thing I noticed was an additional charge for sauces. I asked about it, and they explained that all their sauces are made in-house, which is why they charge $1 per sauce. Honestly, that makes sense when they're homemade. Now the star of the show for me was actually the drink. After looking over the menu a bit more, I decided to try the LA Metro coffee drink with almond milk. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but for $5.99, I have to say it was really good. Definitely something I'd order again. I also want to mention the customer service. The girl working at the counter was extremely nice -- probably some of the best customer service I've had in a while. She didn't rush anything, answered my questions, and was very professional and friendly. I asked about the specials, the cakes they offer, and even whether they were doing a St. Patrick's Day platter, which they are. Overall, it was a really good experience. Good food, great drink, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Taylor Sam's if you're in the area.
