Sandston Bistro & Shakes

My family members have always loved this place. The few times I have had the food there was much to be desired. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and fries twice, and recently the steak and cheese sub and a salad with Italian dressing. The bacon cheeseburger is plain tasting and the buns have always felt/tasted stale even though we have to wait extra time once we get there to pick up our order. This time, the steak and cheese sub was actually kind of tasty but still on stale bread. I ordered a "Greek salad" but when we got home realized it did not have any feta cheese, had 2 olives and was quite small. The "Italian dressing" we ordered I took a picture of. It looked like old dishwater but I braved it and did a taste test.. it burned my tongue and roof of mouth....Im pretty sure it wa

First stopped here years ago, across from Sandston library. Wow! Best burger and fries. Go for the 1/2lb. Great selection, imagine all will be great. This time added hand squeezed limeade, wow, so good! Watched gal scoop tons of chocolate ice cream for shakes, next time I'll order. Looked great! Casual inside, nothing fancy but great food. Swift take out business.

Sandston bistró happily welcomed our tour bus filled with 50 people. It was about 8pm on a Thursday night and they worked tirelessly to fulfill all of our orders. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken and it was the best Greek salad I have ever had! The Italian dressing was home made and the chicken was seasoned and grilled to order. I found out that the owner makes everything fresh and takes pride in the quality of his ingredients. If I lived here I would make the extra trip to eat at this bistro every week. It’s that good!!

I probably would never give this place a chance if I was just driving by. The exterior was newly painted but the building wasn't standing out. However, if 984 people rated Sandston Bistro & Shakes 4.6 stars; I got to give it a try. I took my group here for lunch after reading all the positive reviews. The lunch averaged about $13 a person. It is really not bad consider we each either had a milkshake, smoothie, or combo meal added to our lunch selections. You can get a really good sandwich, sub or burger for less than $6.50. They have earned their reputation not due to the low price, they truly serve good quality food and ice cream. I really enjoyed the Steak & Cheese Sub that I have ordered with a side of French Fries. The Sirloin, provolone cheese and grill onion mixture was not ru
