Great stop while in Sanford. We showed up with most of our baseball team and parents, 30+ people on a busy Sunday during lunch/dinner rush. They were very accommodating and efficient with taking orders quickly. Great food and friendly service, would definitely eat here again.

EDIT: Thanks for the response! Good to see someone else takes priority in that 😊 Fantastic place! I've been to dairy bar sorts of places before, but not anything local or small business. My mom and I both had the Bang'N Shrimp Wrap (I am a sucker for shrimp!) and we both enjoyed it! Their menu here is very varied, as they have all sorts of options for each meal of the day, daily specials, burgers, ice cream will be the first thing you see when you walk in the door, and they even make grilled pimento cheese sandwiches? I might have to come back just for that! Sadly, what keeps this place from getting a fifth star is...NOT anything related to the bathroom for a change. Nope, this time it's the amount of torn up and ripped seats and booths that were in this place. I've certainly seen far worse, but this was way too noticeable to not mention But if you're not off put by that, take time to visit here!

Absolutely amazing!! I’m a Sanford native and I’ve been coming to eat here for 20+ years!! The menu has been updated with new items over the past several years, with a variety of choices!! Good fresh southern food! The wraps and salads are delicious!! Compliments to the cooks and servers! This place is well ran! Also this restaurant is always so clean!
