  Hidden in a bland grey plaza that time forgot is a rare Gainesville jewel. Inside is equally bland and dark when you first sit down you might be a little worried. It's definitely an older greasy spoon. Sandy's Place is  located next to an 80s style salon that is probably still perming women's hair! The walls are beige and devoid of any flair or framed art. Sparse can be soothing. The booth seats certainly show their years. Torn in many places. The beverage bar area has no lighting at all and I think this contributed to my initial unsettled feeling.
  I ordered the pastichio platter. If you are tired of eating the same few types of food over and over or feel you might be unknowingly experiencing your own Groundhog Day. Then this is what you order. It's everything your tastebuds wanted but hadn't tried yet. It's baked macaroni layered over cinnamon and nutmeg  spiced ground beef, and layered again over rigatelli noodles in a homemade sauce. It's super filling. You'll likely need a go box. It's served with basic Greek salad. The salad was fresh and the house Greek dressing is very good.

  This is a solid American food spot. I called in an order for wings. I got ten. They have options to get them breaded /unbreaded and hot/mild. I chose to get five and five and got both mild and hot sauce on the side. I usually prefer my wings breaded, but surprisingly I preferred the unbreaded ones. They were extra crunchy like I like my wings. The size is great --not super small like Liliputian size but not ridiculously -hormone fed freakishly large chicken either.
  
  I'm also a Ranch person, but they home make their blue cheese and it was soooo good that it almost made me rethink my allegiance.

  Fairly good food but horrible depressing waitress staff. They don't seem to have a problem with being rude and yelling in front of the customers.
  Service absolutely sucks!
  Try hiring people who are glad to work there and get rid of those negative pills.
  
  Nasty carpet, tables, bar and the bathroom looks like a bus station bathroom in a 3rd world country.
  
  Stay away!  Or get a tetanus shot!

  The decor might not be the most instagrammable but the food was good the waitress was incredibly nice and there was live music! The crowd runs a little on the senior side but a good place to eat good greek food.

  This is a great little local restaurant that serves Greek food as well as burgers, sandwiches and wings.
