As a German native, I was thrilled to find Sandra's German restaurant in St. Pete Beach. It's a rare gem that serves truly authentic German cuisine, rivaling and even surpassing many restaurants back in Germany. The atmosphere here is welcoming and cozy, making you feel right at home.One of the things that really stands out at Sandra's is the relaxed dining experience. Unlike many places in the US, they don't rush you with the bill. Instead, they allow you to savor your meal, linger over drinks, and enjoy good conversation without feeling hurried. This touch of hospitality adds so much to the overall experience.The heart and soul of the restaurant is undoubtedly the owner, Antje. Her warm-hearted nature and genuine interest in her guests make dining here feel like a visit to a friend's house. Engaging in a chat with her is always a delight and adds a personal touch that's hard to find elsewhere.In summary, Sandra's German restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic German food and a wonderfully warm atmosphere. It's a place where you're not just a customer, but a welcomed guest. I'm already looking forward to my next visit when I'm back in the area.

One of the best tasting authentic German restaurants in the area. Food is freshly made to order! The chef comes out to meet you and ask how your experience and your meal! Price and service complements each other very well! If you crave good German food, Sandra's is a must!Make sure to call a few days in advance, as they operate based on reservations to make sure the ingredients are fresh and they have seats available. They fill up to capacity daily!

They made us a special cup of goulash soup to try and it was the best we've had in the US! I had the Sauerbraten, which was perfectly prepared. My husband had the Jaeger Schnitzel. Both were delicious. We will definitely make reservations the next time we're in town only next time I'll order extra Red Cabbage!

Awesome authentic German food!! Several of us ordered the schnitzel and a few minutes later heard them pounding the pork in the kitchen. Our service was EXCEPTIONAL! Sarah took care of our every need. I will definitely be back. Be aware they are only open a few days per week and you definitely need a reservation.
I am German and we travel a lot every week-BUT this restaurant had by far the BEST german food we ever ate in the US. Our waitress was super friendly and the owner and chef Anja was super friendly and she cooks all by herself and you taste that. It tastes like you know the food from your german childhood. Amazing and I would give 10 Starts if I could. We will be back for sure!!!! We had Rösti, Jägerschnitzel and Bienenstich.
Great ambiance, delicious food, wonderful owner and waitressWill definitely be back, we drove nearly 3 hours and were

Extremely disappointing, a very poor attempt at serving so-called German food . How Sandra's gets a 4•8 star rating is beyond me.

Sandra's is amazing, its like being in her home. Plan ahead and order the schweinshaxe (crispy pork knuckle). Its as good, if not better than what you get in München.

Make a reservation. They have limited hours and it is very popular - and with good reason. This small German scratch kitchen is excellent. Have been going when in the area for over 20 years and never a misstep. They occasionally had staffing issues, but the food never suffered. They have draft import German beer served in full or half liter real German mugs. It’s an Oktoberfest for us every time we visit!
