Sandston Bistro & Shakes

Came in from a long drive up from Advance NC and was in need for a good, filling meal. It was recommended by our Boondockers Welcome host to check out Sandston Bistro, so off we went!

It's a tiny little shop, seems to be family-owned. They've got a wide range of items on the menu and the prices are fair. I ordered the Giant Bacon Cheeseburger with fries and a side of cheese sauce. The burger wasn't anything fancy, but that's the good thing about it. It was just a solidly good ol' burger. 10/10! And the touch of cheese on the side for my fries - again, nothing out of the ordinary but was just an overall good cheese fries side.

My wife ordered the Greek salad, which was a bit on the smaller side for the price, but it was good. I had more than enough fries to split with her.

My oldest ordered wings and fries. The wings were ordered plain and he didn't mind. The chicken was moist and flavorful. I should know because I took a bite. It didn't need to be hidden behind any sauces or dips. Another not-fancy-just-plain-good example.

I'll be honest, the food was so good and I was so hungry, I completely forgot to take photos!

I highly recommend if your rolling through Sandston VA!

Sandwich is made fresh when you order. So a bit of a wait once you place your order. The place is packed so you know it is good. Today spouse is having the roast beef sandwich and I'm having my usual BLT. They were both good.

Found this place on Yelp after leaving the highlands games at Dorey Park. I didn't even read the menu first, we just went. How could you go wrong with burgers & shakes. There's not much to the ambiance but it seemed ok.... It reminded me of our much loved Dumars in Norfolk (minus the drive up ordering) ... plenty of seating. It fairly busy just a few min after arriving. There was so much on the menu to choose from. I settled on a lamb gyro and my friend had a grilled cheese & fries. Everything tasted great. The pita for my gyro was fresh and soft and slightly warm. It was stuffed with just the right amt & delicious Tzatziki sauce. My friend's grilled cheese was perfectly toasted & the fries were oh so yummy. There were two full cases of ice cream flavors to choose from. I really wanted a shake but was so full after my gyro... next time!

Ordered philly cheesesteak sandwich, it was great! Fries were excellent as well! Busy during g lunchtime crowd, parking was fine.

Everything was great. I got the fat boy original burger and it was delicious, I really liked the sauce. The service was nice and the bar is pretty big with a lot of beers on tap. Will definitely be back, best burger I've had in Richmond.

I got a Banana Split with coffee, cookies and cream, and black cherry ice cream, it was delicious!!

This little shop is always busy due to the large selection of ice cream and food items they carry. The inside looks just how you think it will when you go in. Now let's talk about the food because the Cheese Steaks are amazing so much flavor in them and the toppings are fresh. I will say if you get the 6in go ahead and buy the 12 because you will want to eat more of it. My wife loves the Chicken Gyro minus the onions but she tells me the chicken is always perfect on it. We love this place and the vibe you get from it. We will definitely come back.

Solid place. Good sandwiches. Great ice cream. Try the lasagna. It's my favorite of all time.

The only place we go to for ice cream. They have so many flavors and the service is superb. I love how this bistro is retro. It's the cutest spot ever. My family loves everything about it!

To be honest food is pretty terrible. Parking is not so good and the place inside and out could use a lift. But their ice cream is delish lol!
