  The food here is soooo good! The place is small and it takes a bit to get the food, but it's well worth the wait. We got ours to go since we were in a rush. I got the fried chicken, Mac and cheese and carribean rice. My husband got the ribs, Mac and cheese and corn. We both were over the moon with how good everything was! We also got their lemonade which was phenomenal!
  
  I would definitely recommend you try this spot if you are in the area!

  I've been to Sandra's several times.
  The food is delicious BUT the wait is ridiculous. You'll eat your fingers and the person sitting next to you if you go there with an empty stomach.
  
  With that being said, unbuckleyiyr pants because the food is the real McCoy.  Good soul food cooking.  The Mac and cheese, collard greens, fried catfish, ribs, okra and finger licking  cornbread.
  
  The sweet, flavored tea is soooooo good.  I'm not crazy about the peach flavored tea as the peaches taste like they're from a jar.  Switch it with fresh ones and you're golden.
  
  The desserts are good too!  Listen, if you're for a good ol southern meal, go on over the Sandra's.  The customer service is good.  The sitting area isn't large but I've never had to wait for seating.
  
  Oh no... I've failed you with the bathroom review.  I'm always too full to wobble myself back there after I've stuffed myself.

  I haven't been here in a while but stopped in last night for dinner.
  The place is not big inside but does a lively takeout business.  I decided to dine in. The hostess sat me at a table where I could watch the takeout folks come and go. As she sat me, she took my drink order (soft drinks, sweet tea, etc, no alcohol available). The waiter came over shortly after with a nice piece of warm corn bread with drizzled melted butter on top.  It was delicious, satisfying and not too sweet.
  The regular menu selections are numerous plus they have a wide selection of daily specials. The menu offers a selection of "plates" where you specify the number of sides and entrees (proteins). I choose the 2 entree/2 sides Shandrea's Combo Plate. From the long list of options, I selected fried chicken, chopped pork BBQ, mac and cheese and collard greens.
  Fried Chicken: The waiter (I wish I could recall his name) warned me it just came out and was very hot. He was right.  The breading was thin (that's good), crispy and not greasy it all. The spices were spot on; the chicken was fully cooked and moist.
  Chopped Pork BBQ: Also moist, finely chopped and flavored just right with a good hint of BBQ flavor - not overpowering.
  Mac and Cheese: Also very hot, the macaroni was not overcooked and there was ample cheese throughout and especially on top.
  Collard Greens: I made these recently at home and thought they turned out pretty good. After eating Sandra's collard greens, I know I have to raise my game. Her's were soft and yet not mushy. There was definitely a smoked meat flavor undertone - not too strong, just right.
  
  Each of the four portions were large enough to stand on their own - what I mean is I believe if I had ordered the three entree plate, the individual portions would not be reduced.  Each portion was big and enough to satisfy.
  
  As I made my way through dinner, I started planning on what would be my last bite - what I would walk away savoring.  I decided on the Pork BBQ. As I took the last bite of fried chicken, I wondered if I had chosen incorrectly. Ultimately, I don't think I could have made an incorrect choice :-)
  
  The staff was very nice from the hostess, to the waiter and the cashier. Even Sandra asked me how I enjoyed everything.

  Amazing Southern food for great value!
  For first-time goers, the ordering process may be confusing but the staff/management was very helpful. Get a number and order first; they will call out your number and then you pay at the register near the fridge. We dined in and ordered a Church plate (chopped BBQ with collard greens, mac n' cheese, yams, plantains) with a separate Fried catfish entree. Cornbread included. The entire order plus sweet tea came out to less than $30. Everything -- from the entrees to the sides -- were incredibly flavorful.

  This place is fire, so it is very busy on weekends. I got my fried chicken fix, I know I am far from the South, but heck, good ratings and pics, I'm IN! This place has a lot to offer with your fried chicken: lots of sides, lots of drinks, lots of desserts, man, lots of everything. Just think take out when you come, this place is packed in and out, and the line is long. You can talk to the people around you, something you should do, or bother the staff like I do, but the point is: good chicken, with extra breading, tasty sides, and at a decent price, just the way things should be.
