Food was 10 out of ten
Service was 9 out of ten/ nothing wrong; just giving out a rating.
Ambiance was an 11 out of ten,
thanks for bringing some nostalgia to my life.
Location is good with Richfield being between Minneapolis and Bloomington it's close to everyone.
I am extremely pleased to find this place "in-my-back-yard".
We ate a hot-dog, cheese curds, impossible burger and a Sandy's signature hamburger and would give the flavor, cook time and order correctness a ten out of ten.
A gentleman that took our order was laid back in a good way and got our order correct, the older gentleman greated us nicely.
I was here with family but the vibe I saw was a casual place very filled with 81 single-young-adults, although I'm sure through out the night there were couples and other families as well.
There is a parking lot in back behind the patio with around twenty some spaces.
I'm also happy because my Hispanic date was so satisfied with this Hamburger and commented that this Great Sandy's signature hamburger was the closest thing to a Latino or Mexican street burger 🍔 with it having a good texture of the ground beef patty as if it was molded well, the cheese was very nicely melted and the bun was not overly toasted of too hard. It's the kind of place that could franchise easily but it won't, it could and I am happy that it hasn't, so it remains special; the kind of place that I hope no-one reads this and remains quaint!

Vegetarian options: Impossible hamburger 🍔
Cheese curds
Onion rings
Fries

Parking: They have a flat,open parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, I saw kids in there without any problem.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the cheese steak but the staff was super friendly and the place isn't a bad drink and bar food stop

Kinda fun dive bar. But the burgers were over cooked and dry. They were short staffed, which I’m sympathetic to, but the server never reappeared after our food was served. There were no refills, and it took a really, really long time to get the bill and leave.

Disgusting food! Super greasy!. Weird staff. Very clicky. If you’re not one of them just stay away. I was spending good money and giving nice tips until i was called out on something that I have witnessed ‘others’ in the click do. Kinda upsetting because I was frequenting this place and singing their praises. They lost a good paying customer. Zero star for service!

Racially biased much? Just wondering about the server September 15th approximately 826pm, who had pranced around the establishment squeezing by, hugging, touching, brushing by the folks the entire night until approximately 1030pm when I left.
I am curious because in this loud karaoke filled bar, my friend was ordering 3 waters and 3 drinks from said server, she was about to walk away while my friend was still ordering and he stuck his hand out saying oh wait, she either walking into his finger with her arm or his finger touching her arm like as if an elderly person was at Perkins catching the waitresses attention before leaving to add an item.
The server shouts to not touch her or i kick you out,

I was quite baffled with what the heck she was shouting about as I hadn’t witnessed anything inappropriate. She asked me a question and I said I am trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

She repeated it, don’t touch me or I kick you out.

I cancelled my drink and chose not to patronize this behavior.
Why?

Because my friend is the only Mexican in this establishment at this moment, and while the server had no issues with anyone else in her brush byes and did not shout this at anyone else, it was just him.

If it’s offensive that someone has touched your arm in the service business at a loud bar on karaoke night, you shouldn’t be a server.

If it’s offensive because he is Mexican, you shouldn’t be a server.

So I watched the server all night, until I have seen enough of her biased behavior. I am sorry that this may offend the regulars and the staff however this needs to be addressed.

The Mexican in the building shouldn’t have been the only person she yelled at that night. Plenty of white dudes and women have also tapped her arm for an order or two that evening along with her brushing her body past singers in the isle way touching them so they know she is coming by.

Just very disappointed. It has been a fun place for karaoke, the friend that accompanied us is a frequent attendee and she loves that bar and is appalled with the behavior herself. She also thought it was quite uncalled for.
