Sandra's Next Generation

Food was really good, and it was authentic. I liked that I was able to place the order online. I do wish they put a sign within their restaurant indicating where to go for online order pickup. When I went in the first employee told me to wait on the regular line, which I did. 10 minutes later, the cashier told me the pickup section was somewhere else. Turned out ny food was ready and I was waiting for nothing. Better communication would have been nice. Other than that, was a nice pitstop for yummy soul food.

My lovely gf paid for the convenience to have our families thanksgiving dinner made - exactly $260 later, with the scheduled pick up time being, 7pm. I arrived early from cities away. Arrived to a huge crowd, confused on how they’d pick up orders, etc. it is now 9:54 and I’m still sitting outside in my car with my 3 year old, with nothing but promised times that can’t be met. I was also told if I like I could leave and have it delivered. My $260 was taken in advance and, that to me should have ensured tonight service, despite the occasion. As a business owner myself. I know to never over book, because I can’t possibly met the needs I advertise or promise. Not one apology or accommodation. My plans have been pushed back. My money didn’t take 3 hours to receive…no excuse is good enough, nothing is ever too busy to address paying, hardworking people. This definitely was a major set back in my day, and I wouldn’t recommend spending on holidays. Oh she also had to pay a $25 late fee for ordering, but I’m still in my car (it’s 10:14). It’s now 11:20 and I made it home and I discover raw chicken, not cooked and I was told my last hour of waiting, this is what I was waiting for…just wow The second photo, was their way of saying sorry and honestly the drinks we didn’t want or need, and we the dessert could have been kept as well…not okay

Customer service was great, the employees were very nice and helpful however, this food is not good. The fried catfish has no crunch and has a “fresh out the water” aftertaste. The mac and cheese has no salt and isn’t baked enough, the candied yams have no candy. The fried chicken is meh, and they give one piece of cold cornbread. Just bland and soft. The portion sizes are poor. $20 for two meats and two sides and got 1 piece of soft catfish and two chicken wings boiled in grease cause this isn’t fried. I’m not even tryna be funny but these are easy improvements.

The food at Sandra’s is the bomb!! Sadly It’s only takeout and it does take about 20minutes for them to prepare the food but the wait was worth it. I had the salmon with collard greens, yams, and rice (the rice was included). I added a little jerk sauce on the side because I love my food to be extra saucy.

I'm not sure if they put their foot in this food or if they sprinkle it with love, but this is by far the best home cooking soul food I've ever had. The food was hot and fresh, and the girl who took our order was kind and helpful. There aren't seats inside, so we scarfed the food down in the car. I am so glad we went here on our trip to New Haven. If you like soul food or even just fresh hot food with a comfort vibe, get yo self to this spot asap. Tastes almost exactly like the home cooking my granny made me in the South as a little girl. 10/10

Went here for the first time and we really enjoyed the food. The banana pudding cake was awsome. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy and flavourful. Lemonade was sweet and tart and the mint added a nice touch. We ate outside because we had a two hour drive back home. It was worth the trip. Thank you

Listen, I was having a bad day and one thing about me some food is going to make me feel better. So I decided to treat myself to Sandra’s after I heard on the radio that people are taking buses to get their chicken. So not only was their food AMAZING!! The customer service was ON POINT, they are so welcoming, helpful and friendly. The girl who took my order gave me her honest opinion on the food with a smile. I ordered 2 entrees, 2 sides and dessert. Everything was delicious and flavorful and I will definitely be going back. Thank you for making my day Sandra’s !!
