“ Casual place yet has a slightly elevated vibe. Love the outdoor patio with a fire. Great cocktail and an amazing sandwich. It was huge though! I should have shared it. ”
“ Liza is wrong the bacon cheeseburger is delicious. The flying cloud drink tastes like grape soda. ”
“ Friendly dive bar. Sandwiches and burgers good. Bacon a little too greasy but good. I wouldn't go out of my way but if you're nearby it's a good choice for a quick bite. ”
“ How this place has existed for ~90 yrs and had never shown up on my radar despite growing up nearby is beyond me... Absolutely classic dive bar - trivia days, movie watching nights, excellent burgers and tater tots, and Minnesota nice bar/wait staff - as far as dive bars go, this is a 5/5 ”
“ My wife and I were out on our Saturday new restaurant jaunt and we were denied lunch at three places, so I have always wanted to try Sandy's. We entered and it is a very old school dive in deep Richfield Minnesota. Our server was nice and I ordered a Size 7 IPA and my wife got a Diet Pepsi. No Diet Coke, Boo. Solid IPA from St. Louis Park. I don't drink hard liquor, but I only saw beer and wine here and none at the bar, so not sure. I ordered the Richfield cheesesteak. It wasn't cut in half, weird, but the meat was piled on high and lots of caramelized onions and green peppers and the bun was perfect. Really juicy meat and moist veggies. The ambience is very 1960 Richfield. I would probably usually give it a 3, but since there is no 3 1/2, for what it is, I will give it a 4. ”
“ Second time here. I live in Bloomington and this is one of the few places open later for food. Service has always been attentive and correct. It's a dive bar with good food. Some of the best jalapeño poppers I ever had - full of cream cheese! Waitress is always very friendly. ”
“ A definite place for beer and burgers! Great staff and it's no longer cash only. You can pay via an app when you're at the restaurant. Casual and relaxing, a good place to have a beer and bar food with friends or just on your own at the bar! ”
