We absolutely love this place! This was our second visit and tonight I had Meatloaf, REAL MASHED POTATOES, broccoli, brown gravy, salad, and garlic toast! I ordered a coffee (made fresh), and a sweet tea(best in town)! My husband had their Meatball Parmesan, with salad and garlic toast! The servings were abundant and I have lunch tomorrow(lol)! Ashley was our server and Felicia actually sat down and spoke with us like family! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT!❤️

Sandy’s is a low key neighborhood Greek restaurant with some of the kindest most attentive staff in Gainesville. Our server told us tales of her time in NYC while continuously checking on us to ensure we were comfortable. It’s a little intimidating to walk in and seat yourself as the place is filled with locals and regulars, but after a few minutes it feels like you fit right in.The buffalo wings and Greek salad are definitely the menu highlights, and Sandy’s is the go-to saucy wings place in North Gainesville if you want to avoid the chains.Our entrees were good but not spectacular, which is why I conferred three stars on food; not bland, but not enough punch to make the dishes memorable.Overall, Sandy’s is a solid non-chain family restaurant on the north side of town with homey atmosphere and kind, attentive staff. For these attributes it’s earned 5 stars from me.

Ate at Sandy’s tonight and it was a breath of fresh air! The food was served fast, piping hot, and had extraordinary quality and flavor. I highly recommend the gyro, cheese curds, and spinach pie! The atmosphere was welcoming like family, the service was impeccable, and the homemade recipes had the freshest and tastiest ingredients. I have lived in Gainesville for over 30 years and my only regret was that I didn’t find them sooner. Coming back for seconds asap Felicia, thanks again for the hospitality!

Sandy’s is struggling because of food prices and other expenses. They are moving to have more opportunities. Parking I will be better there will be a place to dine outside. To keep from having to raise prices anymore they decided to relocate. It will be a great location with the continuing of great food.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and no one complains if they get a little loudWheelchair accessibility: It is easy to get in with a wheelchair

I had the greek plate special (basically a gyro deconstructed) and him the gyro and fries.Arrived just as they opened.We have been wanting to stop by for a long while, and finally did. Saw good reviews and can't pass up true Greek food.Wasn't that impressed honestly. Nothing set it apart from any other.Minimal meat served on each plate. Hubby asked for no tomatoes and the gyro came loaded. My plate was filled with iceberg lettuce that was yellow and white ..down to the core of the head on that one. Fries were very good but incredibly oversalted. We were told they have several complaints about the fries being too salty..if true, then do something about it! The tzatziki was good but not wow. Pita bread is very good. Fresh and perfectly chewy.We were told a couple of bucks would be taken off the bill for the fries, but it wasn't.Typical bar type feel, good tunes playing, decently clean restrooms and dining area. Booths and tables for seating. Plenty of parking. Nothing flashy or special...just a spot to eat I guess.Seems friendly enough if they know you. It has a clique type feel to it.No pics. Just our opinions. Would we return? I don't know..not thinking we will.
