19 Best American Restaurants near Sanford

“Average rueben, not bad, but didn't knock my socks off. I do prefer dark rye and the meat to be crisped a bit. The portion was huge. The fries were fresh and hot. I'm pretty sure their breakfast will be good. It is a very basic diner with a huge menu selection.

Update: stopped in again for the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms. It wasn't as beefy on the meat as the reuben but the flavor was good. The complimentary piece of German chocolate cake was a surprise bonus for running in right before they closed for the day. Service top notch!

The service was comfortable and friendly. It is kinda like eating at your neighbor's house. They wanted to make sure I was well taken care of. Very nice ppl.

If I lived close by, I would end up with 2-3 menu items that would become standard orders.“

“Super friendly and amazing food!“

“Amazing Food and great customer service!!!!“

“Thank you, Alex's Railside Restaurant for your huge contribution of feeding the crew of the"Followers film" 2021 in Sanford, Mi.“

“As always, super high quality food. The oysters were obviously very fresh. The in-house fried dill pickles? Damned good. Zero complaints about the menu choices or the food preparation/quality. The cocktails were exceptionally well done, which we've come to expect. Given the food and drinks are great, and the environment itself is awesome, the only thing that stood out..and it always does...is the quality of the staff. Ethan is awesome!! Great sense of humor, always has an answer for any question, just all around fantastic customer service. Love this place...but mostly because of the people. ;)“

“Was so busy people were huddled in their vestibule aka front door 🚪 was so busy they shut down the online ordering was shut down and the port dude at the curbside 🚪 was running around in the controlled chaos. However I do have a tiny little issue. When you order a salad 🥗 for example inside it's a big platter full of goodness but I ordered to go it was far less sized yet paid full and same price but was almost half sized smaller. so 🤔 was I ripped off? Or is this normal for to go orders?“

“There is one issue and others have same issue with is they close so early at 2pm it's very hard to dine here finding them open. Which automatically make us go to other places. So you need longer hours just do. Otherwise it's a top notch place with incredible food and seating area.“

“Sunday brunch was delicious at the Midland Brewing Company! I wasn't aware the full menu wasn't available Sundays, but no one was disappointed by the brunch options- all the food was delicious. Our party had great service from Payne— he went above & beyond by bringing samples of relevant beers we may like, and made sure our food was perfect. Payne was kind, helpful, informative, and available— thanks Payne and MBC!“

“Will not go again. This is a steak house and after making three attempts to make a filet mignon steak correct, still all three were mushy, gray, not seared and unable to cut. Ordered medium rare and never came back that way. Lobster tails sent out under cooked had to be sent back. Not charged for meal but made a special dinner not enjoyable. Our server was excellent.“
