Absolutely wonderful. Felt like a regular immediately. Best tuna melt I've ever had. Endless coffee and an old school vibe.

This is a rarity today for restaurants of any type, a par-excellence value! This is a diner/breakfast/lunch restaurant, a few booths and counter seats. Most of the activity by the staff is out front, no secrets. Many customers have dined there frequently, they are regulars and recognized, the waitress can practically write the order without asking, they know the person that well. Occasionally it is a first timer and because of the ambience they feel free to voice their opinion as to how good it is, as we did the first time we ate here in late winter 2025.
We had driven by Sandy’s many times and I often remarked, we should try them out, and we would have sooner, but the parking is the limiting factor, basically curbside parallel parking, only 4 or 5 spots are in front of the restaurant, others down the block and across the street. There may be some in the alley behind but I’m not aware of any. I’m unable to walk any significant distance, so if the parking isn’t right near the door, I’d pass Sandys by, but that is my issue, if you are healthy, the distance isn’t an issue
The food is great, the owner/chef/cook knows what is expected of a dinner establishment. The eggs are prepared as asked, if the request is “over-medium” the egg whites are cooked through, yolks runny, and edges crisp ... Anyone who has trained as breakfast fry cook will know how to make eggs to request, and yes that is a SKILL. The biscuits and gravy are the best I have had in the NW suburbs, there is breakfast sausage crumbles in a cream gravy, and the gravy actually is seasoned and not just white flour paste.
No matter how rushed and busy a restaurant is, they should never lose sight of the fact that each meal served is important, there are not many 2nd chances in the restaurant business. I’m guessing that one of the wait staff is probably the owner, this is the difference, she is watching that the customer’s expectations are met, she deserves an A.

Great local spot for a ‘garbage’ omelette. You can get excellent potatoes but they’re extra.

The server has the worst attitude I've ever seen. Don't go to this place of you have kids, she clearly hates them

Longest serving established restaurant in the area, serving the best hometown breakfast. Try the house hot sauce for that extra twang

Sandy’s is a local gem! The owner treats everyone like family. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. We visit weekly for good reason! Their French toast is addictive fyi.
Awesome service by the owner herself. Love it- wait for it, you won’t be disappointed. Small little diner with a hometown cozy feel. Fab French toast!
Thanks Darcy! ?❤️

This is the place to go to if you want a great vibe, a shot of joy, and food so good it reminds me of breakfasts at my grandmom’s. Don’t miss the waffles. Every time I eat here, I leave feeling happier.

A local gem that is open early. Ordered a bunch of items that were delicious: bacon, veggie omelet, corned beef hash, Myra’s potatoes.
