What Dot likes about Sandra's Next Generation LLC:
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 View all feedback. What Jamilah Parker doesn't like about Sandra's Next Generation LLC:
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 go... View all feedback.

Dining at Sandra's offered a mixed experience for customers. While the customer service was noted to be excellent, with friendly and helpful employees, the food quality received mixed reviews. Some customers found the fried catfish lacking in crunch and flavor, the mac and cheese under-seasoned with small portion sizes, while others enjoyed the crispy and flavorful fried chicken and delicious banana pudding cake. However, there were complaints about long wait times for pickup orders during busy periods, with one customer waiting for hours and receiving raw chicken. The pricing was also a concern for some, with one customer noting an increase in price for a lunch special without improvements in portion size. Despite these challenges, some customers praised the tasty food offerings like BBQ chicken and catfish, highlighting the welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant and thanking the owner for their hard work. Overall, while some improvements are needed in terms of food consistency, portion sizes, and timely service, Sandra's offered a warm and friendly dining experience with potential for future growth.
