Wandering Astoria for a brunch spot & found Sanfords on the map. What an amazing surprise for a couple of visiting whiskey nerds. The Blood Oath & Old Fitz stuff at the host stand raised by brow. After seeing the bar from the restaurant side, we immediately bellied up. One of the best selections of whiskey, scotch, etc. that I've seen in the states. Smartly laid out by state, distillery, or region for scotch. Wine list was also impressive. Food was amazing, huge portions & something for everybody. On par with everything else was the wonderful bartender Sam, she was an absolute gem ! Next comes the happy hour specials & flight specials & fresh oysters ?!! One of our favorite establishments anywhere. Just classy, cool, smart & functional. The flight pictured is Michters. The Shenks was also on a $7 special solo. They also sell barrel picks. Thanks for a great day !

5 stars every time!!!!!! My friends and I love this place. I live in DC, but I'm always at Sanfords when I come to the LIC. Their new HH menu is FANTASTIC, and the oysters are always so fresh. Go say hi to Ram and George!

I order from Sanfords at least once a week but decided to stop by when I had a Friday afternoon off from work. The omelet was huge and so tasty. The service was also great and the entire restaurant was super clean. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a brunch, lunch or dinner spot!

Sanford's is a fantastic spot whether you're meeting friends for brunch or enjoying a dinner date. For brunch, the steak and eggs is always a reliable choice, but I highly recommend trying the sweet chorizo hash, served in a mini skillet--it's absolutely delicious. For dinner, the raw oysters are incredibly fresh, and the lobster mac and cheese is simply unforgettable. Their burgers and PEI Mussels are always a solid option.

Overall, this is an average restaurant where you can expect good food in a pleasant environment. It's a solid choice for brunch or dinner with friends. The service is decent, and the staff was particularly accommodating when they offered to store the bags of groceries we had with us in a separate room. This thoughtful gesture made our dining experience more comfortable, as well as for other customers. While nothing stood out as exceptional, it's a reliable spot for a casual meal.

We visited this place with a good friend on a Friday night. It was busy so the hostess asked us to wait for a couple of minutes so she could accommodate us. We ended up sitting in one of the couches on the right side as you enter the restaurant. Great choice. We handed over the menu right away. We chose a calamari plate as a starter and 2 main plates, chicken for my friend and pasta with meatballs for me. We also did a few drinks. The service was exceptional. Very attentive. My pasta was overcooked. It wasn't al dente at all and I am a pasta lover. Meatballs were good. This is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. Good place, good vibe overall. Good job guys :)

I came here for brunch on a Sunday and was happy with the food and service! Food: great brunch spot! They have a menu with a ton of options from Mexican to French! I got the Truffle Fried Egg Ciabatta which was amazing! You could actually taste the truffle which I enjoyed and the Gruyère added a ton of flavor! We also got the cinnamon pecan French toast and it was very flavorful and extremely filling! Service: fast and attentive Ambience: I chose this place because of the ambience! It is holiday season and sanfords decorated both the inside and outside super well which made it so much fun! Price: the one catch here is that compared to other Astoria places, I found this spot expensive! The prices are comparable to manhattan prices!
