    Parking in the back, as there's not much up front. Finally made it over here, camping at Lake Corpus Christi State Park. And omg, I'm so glad we did! Just walking in the back door you can tell this is going to be a great meal- the smells wafting around are savory and sweet and the funky 70s music playing along with the diner decor lets you know you are in the right spot! We were seated right away, social distancing and masks are definitely being observed. Two waitress dropped by within moments of sitting down to let take our drink outset's, both let us know they were famous for the waffles and hamburgers. We were all about ordering the waffle until we overheard another waitress talk about the cinnamon roll. Game. On. Um. The cinnamon roll just got dropped off. Oh. My. Word. It's as big as my face y'all. And dripping in buttery frosted goodness. The honey butter on top is unbelievable. I should just stop here. My mouth is in heaven. I'm so glad we made the trip across to this little dive! Hubby had the Monte Carlo omelet (no toast it has browns) and I did the fungi burger (bun less ) and upgraded to onion rings. We're trying to cut carbs. (Don't look at me for the cinnamon bun, we're _trying_ I said. And it was worth every bite!) The onion rings are top notch- breading is delicious and they serving size is great. Hubby's inlet is nearly two inches thick- and packed with meats. Y'all. Come here. Eat good food. Die happy with the cinnamon roll. And come back for more. We sure will!

    Awesome!!!

    Me and my little sister wanted to go and grab some lunch on a rainy day and decided to try this place out that had decent reviews, Once we arrived to Sandi's Diner we noticed there was 3 street parking spots in the front (which is where we parked) and more parking in the back. The business had an old rockabilly them from the outside and the inside was even more vibrant! When we walked inside Sandi's we were quickly greeted and asked to sit anywhere. They had awesome old memorabilia on the walls and throughout the restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and explained the menu and the cleanliness of the business was very clean. Me and my sister decided to order omelette's with drinks and a side of Parmesan wings. Once we received our food it was delicious and was perfect temperature. I would highly recommend this place for either breakfast or lunch! Thank you Sandi's Diner!

    Great waffle and perfectly cooked scrambled eggs! Light and fluffy. Several burgers and sandwiches to choose from too.

Do not be deterred by the size or age of the facility. This place has been in business since 1940s, so the interior of the restaurant is showing its age for sure. That said, the variety of the options and the quality of the food was worth every penny (and it's actually not a lot of coins at all!).

There are quite a few booths as well as bar seating. We're glad we chose the bar. Our server was upbeat, informative and knew her business. We went for the special, meatloaf with your choice of tomato sauce or brown gravy and we chose the brown gravy. It was so good. I asked if we could buy the whole loaf. They said they do sell pieces à la carte. We paired it up with french fries, and a vegetable. We also had the home made French bread toasted which had the old diner flavor and was terrific. That special came with a choice of salad or soup and we opted for the salad. And you get desert!! Small piece of strawberry short cake (angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream), all for $12. A hit! The only thing they could improve upon was the salad. It was a small salad made from iceberg lettuce and of course we got to a few of the not so good pieces of iceberg lettuce. Can't wait to go back and try some other of their menu items.

I stopped in for brunch on a Saturday morning and was really surprised by the crowds, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. It reminded a lot of B Matthew's in Savannah, which if you know, is a good thing! I initially went for the croissants based on the recommendation, but ordered the Biscuits with Gravy in addition to a loaf of sourdough, a croissant, and a few back to school theme cookies to bring onto the kids! The biscuits and gravy was phenomenal, and I really liked how they added scrambled eggs to top them. This is something I've never seen before and the result was great! As far as the bakery items (croissant, sourdough, and cookies) I feel like my review won't do them justice because they weren't eaten until I got home a few days later. Bottom line, I will be stopping in at Hester's every time I visit Corpus going forward. A definitely must try!

Even though the café was busy, the staff never seemed rushed. They were kind, welcoming, and made everyone feel taken care of. If you're in Corpus Christi, I'd definitely recommend stopping by for breakfast. Good food, great coffee, and a lovely atmosphere--I know I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

    With a 4.4 rating I would think our visit would be great. However there were just too many things…read morethat screamed not good. I admit I had heard they're breakfast and lunch are great. We thought we would visit for dinner at about 6 pm . Place was totally empty when we arrived; a very wait person say us and very nicely waited on us throughout. I had the two bratwurst with red cabbage and German potatoe salad . Now usually to me , bratwurst should be full juicy sausages of a considerable size . What I got was a little better than two hot dogs that were cut in two length wise. The potato salad was somewhat greasy and not too remarkable at all. The red cabbage was only passable. The whole thing seemed like it was warmed up from lunch , in that it came out surprisingly quickly and was tepid rather than hot. Microwaved maybe even. My partner had pork schnitzel, spaetzal and sauerkraut. The snitzel seemed ok though tepid . The serving size though was somewhat smaller than what their online pic showed but my wife said that she didn't need anything bigger . My wife said the spaetzal was good though I tasted it and thought it seemed warmed up. The oddest thing is that the sauerkraut was mixed up with mashed potatoes. The texture was weird and it was missing the tanginess of sauerkraut and , again, tasted warmed up. Is this a way to "stretch" sauerkraut of all things? The problem is they just started dinner service I guess in the last two weeks according to our server . On top of all this it was exorbitantly priced . Whereas I might visit during breakfast, I may not fit dinner for a while to where they can build a better experience. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.

I Yelp'ed on the iPhone; I first found a cajun restaurant that seemed well recommended (the others around it were not), but could not find the location of it. So Plan B, found Dot'z and the exterior looked cute like a 50's dinerish place on the beach. Ordering was a little tricky, it's up on the wall but you can combine things you see on the wall. Wait staff was alright, not overly eager to serve, but not rude or disrespectful. You order and it takes maybe 5-10 mins to get a meal out. The ice cream also looked good, but did not sample any on this go around. I went with the chicken sandwich to try and stay a little healthy in this haven of beach food. Came very plain jane. I don't recall if it had mushrooms on it or not, but I distinctly remember thinking I paid for this?!? It had the appearance of fast food burger joint, not trendy little place on the beach. They have small inside seating but if a few folks are there, they have a covered patio area that is a good break from the sun. No fans or ventialtion that I recall outside. They also have a nice playground right outside if you need to occupy the kids in a safe place while you eat. Overall, I wanted to like the charm of the place, but could just not get into it. Thus, 3 stars.
