Low-key, enduring American nook offering breakfast & lunch bites along with homemade cinnamon rolls.

Most of the staff were unfriendly and one downright rude. Our server was nice and competent.
We had wanted to visit this restaurant but the place is always crowded so we went on a Saturday about 11:30. It took 9 minutes just to check in. We asked for a booth due to disabilities but were given the end on a table with lots of kids. We were finally able to convince the employees that this was unacceptable.
The Sandy’s omelet had plenty of fillings of ham and cheese but very little egg. It was covered in red salsa like sauce which was spicy. The cheese was tasteless unfortunately. The hash browns were undercooked which makes them susceptible to bacteria. The English muffin was cold and burned on the end. The pancake was very large and was good.
The vegetable omelet also had plenty of fillings including spinach, mushrooms, green peppers and feta cheese. Again, served with uncooked hash browns. The cinnamon roll was hard on the outside with way too much icing. The biscuit with the gravy was large and fluffy and the gravy was thick but rather bland.
There are a few booths around the edges, but mostly long tables where people are seated with other groups.
We had to ask for refills on our drinks every time.
There is plenty of park, however only 2 handicap spots.

This place has a lot of hype, especially the giant cinnamon bun. I ordered basic 2 eggs, bacon, toast and my friend ordered the hangover breakfast. His plate was drenched in white gravy, which over-powered the food. A fresh plate was brought out and now you can appreciate the beauty and taste. A sauce or gravy should never overpower the meal, instead put a little on, and then provide a side of it so the customer can control the desired amount. I felt the same way about the cinnamon bun. The cream cheese frosting overwhelmed the bun and made it too soggy. Lastly, the booth seats were hard slotted wood and uncomfortable. Overall, a decent place, but not worth the hype.

Typical hole in the wall dinner type of place. Good food great portions and servers that are running around keeping all the plates spinning. We got a biscuit with gravy, a since of french toast, and the veggie omelette. The french toast had an additional later of tastiness, with their dipping it into their cinnamon batter. The biscuit and gravy was fairly standard but it wasn’t too heavy. The omelette was the 6 egg and was split and filled us up completely.

I’ve been wanting to hop in for awhile now and we were in town for a apt and the time aligned with the 230pm closing and we made it across town by 1230ish. I was worried they would be out of the cinnamon rolls.
There parking lot was decent size with plenty of parking. We were seated within about 10 minutes. Some of the tables are set up community style and you get to make new friends.
Service was prompt and friendly plus I saw staff jumping in to help out everywhere needed. I asked for a cinnamon roll right after being seated as it was a full house. I really wanted that cinnamon roll. I had heard many good things about these rolls. My hopes were not dashed. This cinnamon roll was plate size drowned in cream cheese frosting/glaze. It was probably one of the best bites I’ve ever tasted in my life.
I did the veggie omelet with a few modifications. Added sausage and the green chili salsa. Im not a huge fan of green chili but wow that was really good. If you have no spice tolerance it has a bit. Hubby found it mild but also loved it.
I loved the little signs all around and really hope yall do charge the 5 dollar whining fee when needed.
There is an extensive menu and the coffee was very good! They have tons of condiments, creamer and more on the table to make it more efficient.
I will be back to bring Mama Rabbit out for breakfast here soon. Cinnamon rolls are her favorite too.

Im blown away with the incredible service and quality of the food! Right when we sat down they were giving the table fresh baked cookies and the Carne Asada Chilaquiles was the best I might have ever experienced! Then AJ brought us their famous cinnamon roll and I was blown away!! Definitely be back soon thanks team!!

Sandy’s is one of those places in the Springs where you can literally order anything on the menu and it will be absolutely delicious. There aren’t many places here where you can say that, and that would explain why the place is always so busy. And with the Perfect Breakfast option, if you don’t get what you wanted it’s your own darn fault. Green Chili has two levels, Spicy and Diablo, but neither one overpowers the flavor of the food or burns your face off. My wife had the Perfect Breakfast with sausage, over-easy eggs, hash browns, and toast. I also had the Perfect Breakfast, the only difference being ham steak instead of sausage. She had the spicy green chili and I tried the diablo. Simply excellent. Service was spot-on, and you just gotta love the atmosphere. In the past, they were a cash-only establishment but now they do take cards. So you no longer have an excuse not to go!

I ordered the steak and eggs special, with a sweet tea. I was asked and that was nice how I wanted my steak. Well my well done steak ended up being and I mean almost med well. I did eat it and it did the job, but no homerun. May second base. Maybe. And my tea, well let’s just say I’m glad the sugar jar was full. No sweet tea. I ate everything. I do not waste food. Just criticize and review. However our server Liz was phenomenal. The atmosphere was pleasant to look at.

A hidden gem right near Peterson SFB! For a Friday morning, the place was bustling but we were quickly seated outside. The food came out quick and was delicious, especially the green chili hangover skillet! I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a hidden gem breakfast diner.

Menu has all the good stuff making choosing difficult. I ordered the French Dip which comes with a choice of ANY side! I love this, no price gouging on what someone thinks a “premium side” is. I got ½ and ½ fries and onion rings, both spectacular. Furthermore, the server offered their house made ranch dressing for dipping which was delicious. The atmosphere is fun and lively. I’ll be back!

So many friendly staff & regular customers. All our meals were delish. I got a burrito with eggs,chorizo, onions & a green chile sauce what was to die for! Hubby got corned beef hash egg meal which he devoured along with a pancake.
