Little Sandy's

Sandy's is a quaint little restaurant in what looks like it used to be a Sunoco. You seat yourself, and they bring you over the menus. I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits and it was delicious. I got home fries with it. The home fries aren't what I'm used to, but they were still good. The portions aren't huge, but the food was good, whe staff were all really nice, and you won't sit with an empty coffee mug for long. You can tell they take pride in the place as well. It is definitely a hidden gem and I recommend visiting at least once while you're in Oakland.

This restaurant was a converted gas station, and full of locals. Many of the tables had fixed in place chairs (kind of like McDonald's) which I find very uncomfortable, so we sat at the end of a larger table, and the hostess told us that was fine. We ordered coffee and cinnamon buns to start. The buns were warm, squishy, and dripping with icing. Our waitress checked in promptly. I did an omelet and homefries, which were separate, and toast. Hubby did a combo with bacon, eggs, and Pancakes with the home fries on the side. The potatoes were excellent, I could've eaten a lot more. My omelet was chock full of meat, green pepper and onion, could've used a bit more cheese, but very satisfying. The coffee was really good. Hubby said bacon was well cooked, loved the fries and the Pancakes were good.

Little Sandy's helped us wrap up a great camping weekend at Deep Creek Lake State Park. There's nothing like a hearty breakfast served with a smile - thank you, Jamie! It's the kind of place that draws both locals and tourists. Hot coffee, pancakes, omelets, biscuits. I honestly want to go back just for another meal. Beware, it was a gas station at one point and we were wondering if we had the right door because we thought that we were going into someone's house! However, walk through the door. Choose your own table and the rest is history. My omelet was warm, not hot, Jamie took it back and had a new one made, which was hot and cheesy. Jamie apologized a few times, which we really appreciated. The staff at Little Sandy's aims to please and that's what we look for in a restaurant. The lemon juice is in a bottle on the table, so if you want lemon for your water, like my husband, just use what's on the table. He told me that it was actually better than lemon slices because he could make it as lemony as he wanted. What a twist! I can't say enough nice things about this place. Even if you are just passing through... stop here. It's cute, the people are so nice and the food was good.

The place where the locals go. This is our 3rd visit to Little Sandy’s for breakfast. The outside looks like an old gas station, but it’s the inside where the good stuff is, large helpings of homestyle cooking, bottomless cups of coffee, and they even had buckwheat cakes! We stop here for breakfast every time we are in the area.

One of the BEST places to get an excellent, home cooked style meal. Prices are very affordable, and the food is delicious. You will not be disappoined! Small place, you just seat yourself, and the staff will promptly greet you. There was one waitress working both the dining room and to go orders and she held it down fantastically. We will definitely return when we are in the area again! In my photo is pictured a veggie omelette with home fries. The veggie omelette had cheese, green peppers, onions, and tomatoes in it. It was delicious!

Homie roadside diner with delicious all day food items and wonderfully friendly staff. I had one of the best breakfast I've had in my life and felt very good about it. Pricing was reasonable and you've got a nice view. Everyone who rides to 19 or visits deep Creek should come by and have a good meal!
