Mid afternoon I stop by to grab pizza and a beer. Waitress tells me there's no pizza bc the dough is frozen and there's no lime for the beverage she already poured plus over 30mon wait for anything else on the menu bc there was one or two orders ahead of me. I don't know if it was personal bc the other table had pizza and food.

We ordered drinks, gumbo, chicken and waffles. We also ordered the lobster Mac. Everything was excellent including the waitress. We have eaten here was before and we have yet to be disappointed. Recommend trying The Bayou for your eating pleasure. Located on 1st Street in downtown Sanford.

If you’re looking for a place in Sanford where you can drink like an adult but play video games like you’re 12 again, Throwbacks is your spot. I walked in, saw FREE arcade games, and immediately knew I wasn’t leaving for at least three hours or until someone unplugged the machines.
The drinks? Cheap. Like “did they forget to charge me?” cheap. I had to double-check the receipt to make sure I didn’t accidentally order a kid’s menu lemonade.
And the food? Exactly what you want at a place like this. Not fancy. Not complicated. Just good. The kind of food that hits perfectly after a couple drinks and three rounds of Pac-Man abuse.
Now let’s talk about the real MVP: Kristine — the best bartender in the building, the city, probably the state. She’s fast, funny, remembers everyone, and pours like she’s trying to fix your whole week. If you go and she’s working, consider yourself blessed. If she’s not working… honestly just come back when she is.
Overall, Throwbacks is the perfect mix of nostalgia, cheap drinks, good food, and Kristine being an absolute legend behind the bar. Highly recommend.
If you see me there losing to a 10-year-old at Street Fighter, mind your business.

I came in earlier today to watch some football and have a few drinks after a rough week. I walk in and there was one bartender behind the bar, I think her name is Angela, idk, but she sucked. I sat there for like 5-10 minutes while she talked to some people about zodiac signs or some shit, then she went to the end of the bar, sat down, and started eating. The other bartender walked out from the back and immediately noticed I didn’t have a drink in front of me. She was very speedy with getting me a drink when she saw I didn’t have one in front of me. Her name is Christine, I’ve seen her in here a few times, I didn’t have to tell her what I wanted cause she already knew. Anyways, I like this place but if that other girl is working again I won’t go in anymore.
