This place is amazing! The service and atmosphere were fantastic with our waitress not missing a beat to throw in a dad style joke here and there and was very attentive to our table. The food was also incredible with HUGE portions. I only grabbed pictures of the Mrs and I's food as the kids were already digging into theirs. Prices were also pretty good in my book. Would 1000% stop here again if I even end up in the area again!

Sander’s may very well be my favorite restaurant of all time. Their menu is massive, but they don’t suffer from a Jack of All Trades Syndrome. I’ve eaten there too many times to count at this point. The servers are always wonderful, and the food comes out quickly. I typically go on Mondays, which is when they serve the Cream of Potato Soup for their soup of the day. Sander’s is a cozy diner that feels like home.

Main Dish:
- Ham and Cheese Crepes
- Palestine Crepes
- Cinnamon Apple Crepes
- Monte Cristo Sandwich
- Classic Eggs Benedict
- Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict

No frills atmosphere, restaurant appearance was that of a typical family restaurant. Service was good, and the food came quicker than I expected. I really enjoyed the omelet, I'm not sure what type of sorcery the chef did back there, but it was the fluffiest thing I've ever eaten in my life.

Sanders has been serving basic breakfast and lunch for a while. You can expect fast service and decent coffee. My family got a corner booth and enjoyed a great brunch and conversation for over an hour. Sanders is perfect for enjoying good food and company.

Amazing food, plus a family friendly atmosphere, and on the day I went for Breakfast there was a severe thunderstorm occurring.

We always drive by here on our way to Jiu Jitsu, but we never had the chance to stop in. Thankfully we could grab a parking spot and a table right away on Saturday morning. The parking does seem like it could be an issue.

Our server was great and the kids enjoyed her friendly banter. The food came out quickly and was very delicious. If we can find more time to come here we will definitely be back.

Great service and friendly staff.

Nice place to grab a filling breakfast and catch up with friends.

Very cozy atmosphere. It does get super busy, we arrived at 9am and we were able to get a seat no problem. Left around 10am and it was packed so I'd suggest call ahead for a table or get in early.

I ordered just the Belgium waffle and a side of bacon because I had a feeling the portion sizes would be huge. If your hungry and ready then this a good spot.

My friend got the Fresh Blue berries pancakes and it was about 5 stacks.

The coffee was ok. Pretty affordable prices for the what we ordered.

I must say this is the best breakfast restaurant i have been to. I've been coming here for the past 15 yrs and it's worth the ride. The food is great and big portions. The waitresses are very friendly. Too bad it's not open later. The sandwiches are phenomenal.
