Restaurants near Sanford

“This place has been around for 28 years. I'm absolutely sure every local knows about it. It is take out only.

I got an Italian hot sub, which is served in a pizza crust canoe and stuffed full of awesome flavor. Twelve inches of perfection. I've never had a sub in a pizza crust canoe. Everyone should try one! The sub was $13.50 which would seem high till you see and taste this masterpiece. Worth every cent. It was way too much to eat in one sitting so I will get to enjoy it again later tonight.

The young man at the counter was extremely nice. I went in thinking it had a dining room, which it doesn't. So I ordered and he told me it would be about twenty minutes. I went to my car and waited. He bothered to run it out, knowing I was out here. He made sure I had a paper plate, napkins, and plasticware.

It's definitely worth a drive to pick up. It just might be hard to keep from picking at it on the way home.”

“the food was really Good emily did a great job we will be back”

“Great Service, super tasting Ice Cream and the portions were huge!”

“I cannot recommend Hannah enough! Her style, flavors, quality and customer experience is top tier. She is the most kind and bubbly fun personality to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity far exceeded my expectations of anything I imagined. We love you Hannah!!”

“Super friendly and amazing food!”

“I tried there Bear Butter coffee! It was awesome!!!! So very wonderful”

“The pizza is outstanding. Wow!”

“Among Subway establishments, this one's notably more friendly and relaxing than usual, which is always a plus.

My only issues - not major at all - are that I don't think they understand the phrase, "a little," because whether you simply ask for condiments or specify only a little bit doesn't seem to make much of a difference, and otherwise, the radio is insufferable when they have it going. It's not always on, which is nice.

Still, the staff is suuuuuuuuuuuuper, super friendly here, and I've become fairly regular.”

“Ordering online was super easy. I also have to mention the two girls working this evening were busy and kicking butt. Not only did they keep it flowing and on time they did it with a GREAT attitude and smiles on their faces. Oh and of course the pizza was delicious. Well done all the way around start to finish It was an awesome way to end our Labor Day weekend so thank you all”

“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.”

“I do want to point out, the front desk lady who helped me was fantastic, she was super friendly and even offered to help me with anything else I needed. I believe her name was Sherlie. Well I'm surely glad she helped me, what a nice person.The food was quick and my custom order was correct. Left nothing to be desired. The decor in this restaurant is a bit boggy or weird for my taste (as pictured) but I didn't mind. I don't come to McDonald's for the flowers I come to get an affordable hamburger. But hey do you MacDonalds, do you.”

“Always a good variety in sushi options.”

“My favorite restaurant! I order take out once a week. Great flavor and huge portions make for great leftovers. Thankful for them!”

“Found this gem randomly this weekend. Chill frequently vibes AND great service. I accidentally dropped my coffee outside and the employees really made an impact to help turn it around. Thank you!”

“Great Pizza. One of the best in the Saginaw Bay Region.”

“Love having ice cream sitting in the garden♥️”

“This is THE BEST Japanese food place in the area! I’ve gone here six times now! Just went today for my birthday:) Every-time I go the food is out fast, the servers are amazing and attentive, the vibes are great and the food is delicious! I highly recommend to anyone who love’s Japanese cuisine! They do it best!”

“While we didn't have a reservation (Monday night) - reservation recommended

Wait staff is fantastic
Food is oh so delicious (come hungry)
Lemon cello after dinner is nice”

“We popped in with a large group during the middle of a dance competition we were attending. Mike was our server, and he had just the right amount of humor and awesomeness to keep our group happy. The food was delicious, and not a single kid (out of 6??) complained, the parents were happily fed as well. Hands down though, Mike made it an awesome experience. Part of our group has to unexpectedly leave and go back to the competition, but they boxed it up for us and we took it back for them to enjoy. Since we are fairly local, I'm sure most of us will happily return when we are out that way again! Thanks for the great lunch and the stellar service!”

“Coconut Cream Pie was more than fantastic!! Full of fresh coconut through out with the best crust!”

“Great location for local coffee!”

“Little local restaurant with diner type food. Everything tasted great. I got the veggie omelet and it was amazing with home fries and sourdough toast.

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie omelet and scramble

Kid-friendliness: Have a decent selection for kids menu”

“I believe I’ve reached food nirvana after having lunch here! Insanely delicious and great atmosphere and service! Can’t wait to go back!!!😋”

“Very nice little set up, I had mudslide , great drink”

“We love Dow Gardens and the Canopy walk! I live 50 minutes away, but have purchased a yearly pass for 3 of our family members. It is a great last-day-of-school trip with my children and recently, I brought family from out of state. They loved it so much! The gardens always have something blooming and in the spring the butterfly garden is my favorite.highly recommend seeing this all for yourself. (Make an online reservation when going to view the butterflies in the spring.)

Suggestion: if you have young kids, taking a wagon or stroller is best. The walkways are stroller/wagon friendly. We like to bring snacks or lunches along too. It’s a lot of walking.

Side note: as of August 2024, the playground in the whiting forest is closed. This does disappoint us as our children loved that playground when we went.”

“The sandwiches and coffee are amazing!!! Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back often. Also the owners are so friendly!”

“Stopped in for dinner and drinks as an out of town guest. Great welcoming atmosphere, drinks and food. !!”

“One of the best pasties I've eaten and I've tried most in the U.P. The homemade pastrami is also world-class. George and Kristin give it 100% and you taste it in everything they serve.”

“We got this to cater our wedding reception. Everything was amazing and they were so friendly/helpful. Definitely recommend for family gatherings or larger crowds…..amazing food and great prices”
