17 Best American Restaurants in Sanford

“The ice cream was amazing. The worker that waited on me was not so amazing. He hates his job clearly and has no customer service skills including communication. He was more than rude! The lady that waited on the next customer was awesome! So I would return to give it another go. Hopefully next time someone who likes working there waits on us.“

“Unassuming from the parking lot, this diner is an example of “it’s whats on the inside that counts”. Hands down the best steak and eggs I’ve had, with a plate full of delicious grits and two fluffy biscuits. The staff are warm hearted, salt of the Earth people. Low prices too, remember to tip generously. Will visit again.“

“We have a church group that goes about once a month and it’s always a great experience. We enjoy the food and our waitress is always so pleasant and on top of everything! Great place to go!

Parking: I usually park across the street! The restaurant parking lot is mostly full!“

“The bar and primarily the bartender Candance is the only reason we come to Applebee's. She is attentive, friendly and makes you feel comfortable whether your a regular or a first timer. If it wasn't for Candance we would drive to Fayetteville or Raleigh, and would no issue doing so.“

“First time visiting; a little bit of a long wait to be seated with visible empty tables but other than that, service was great & quick, food was good (10/10 mini corn dog bites!), and the overall atmosphere was comfortable! I had our sleeping, almost 2 year old, on me through the entire dining experience - a wonderful lady held the men’s bathroom door for me so I could wash my hands as the women’s as occupied, the lady who sat behind us later was ever so courteous to our sleeping baby (when she didn’t need to be! Kid will sleep through a freight train), and the family who came to sat down as we were finishing up with 3 very excited older kids quickly went to hush their kids when they saw our sleeping baby (we told them thank you but really no need!!). We also grabbed ice cream cones on our way out while paying the bill. Cookies & cream was delicious.“

“This place is awesome food and service great also! Definitely worth stopping in!“

“Our Family took our Dad to Davidson's Steakhouse in Sanford, NC today for his birthday. Our waitress Francis made our whole experience EXCEPTIONAL!!! The food was great, the atmosphere was great but all of that would have meant nothing if we would have had bad service. This lady took care of us like we were her only customers which was not the case because she was very busy! She was actually running at times to attend to customers quickly. I work in customer service and I would give anything to be as friendly and efficient as Francis. She is an inspiration!!! If you are in Sanford stop in and make sure you ask for her. I promise you won't regret it!!!“

“Best burger I’ve ever had! It“

“Great atmosphere and awesome staff. Usually really good food… Got some ribs the other day that you couldn’t cut with a knife. Didn’t taste bad but definitely not “fall off the bone”. Other than that exception, always a great experience!“

“Love joes! Come here weekly!“

“Excellent food, exceptional service. Great overall! We will be back.“

“I had a good experience. I have not been to Ruby Tuesday very often and it’s been probably a year but our waitress Jade was really friendly. She was attentive and fun and I really enjoyed the experience. I think I will definitely be back to Ruby Tuesday and I know that I can count on Jade.“

“Jackie is our favorite server! We love to come in and will request her table because everything is always perfect and served with a great attitude.She always makes it a fun experience!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friendly service and great food!“

“We had a wonderful lunch today at Hwy 55. Service was excellent and the food was fast and delicious. Julia I believe was our serve and she was awesome. Super friendly and went above and beyond.“

“The service tonight was exceptional. We haven’t been in a while and I do not remember the staff being as attentive as they were tonight. We ordered 2 combo plates which came out quick, the young man brought them to our table. The young man and several others checked up on us throughout our meal. Customer service was better than most sit down establishments in town.“

“This is where we stop on the way to our ski trip annually. Kandi and Lizabeth made this trip extra delightful! We had to split our tables since we have grown kids. Every staff member checked on us, food was hot, drinks stayed filled. 10/10 experience! Wonderful experience!“
