Sandy's Diner

What a cool little diner.My grandma lives over in Kingston, right next door to Markesan, and I usually get up there (I live about an hour and a half away in Milwaukee) at least five or six times a year. Every time, no matter what, I make sure to stop at Sandy's. It's very old school inside (in a good way), and the atmosphere takes you back to a time when small-town diners were still a big part of a community. The service is always impeccable, the food is great, and the prices are so cheap compared to some other restaurants in the area, especially the overpriced places in Green Lake. The clientele is mostly locals on their lunch breaks or getting breakfast/dinner after finishing a shift at the factory in town, and they almost always strike up a conversation with my grandma and I and are very nice. Such a gem to have in Markesan and something I look forward to each visit.

Very welcoming owners. The food is always fantastic!! Highly recommend this small town diner!

Great place for breakfast while in Markesan. The owner is a wonderful lady and family friend of ours. The entrance is around the opposite side of the building from the parking lot if you couldn't already tell. The food is delicious and portioned well. Just be sure to come early and don't plan to rush out, as they tend to get a little busy during certain times of the day and may take awhile. They're one of the few restaurants in town, but definitely worth the wait.

This place is pretty awesome, but I wish the wait wasn't so long. It's also kind of annoying how huge groups of people always come from Wacholz funeral home to enjoy the "munchies" appetizer. I called in a Valentine's Day reservation like 6 weeks ago, and I got the last one! Still, the food was soooo worth it. We started off with some cheese nuggets for appetizers, then moved on to the Foie gras for the main course. Absolutely delightful experience. Can't wait to go back.PS the wait service will sing for you if it's your birthday. They say it's their favorite part about working there.

We stopped here for lunch recently. We are not from the area, but stopped while running errands. This diner is clean and the service was quick. The woman serving us was extremely friendly and helpful with our questions. I had a wrap which was okay but did not come with fries like the other sandwiches. I had no idea until I asked why we had an extra charge on our bill. The BLT came with one slice of deli turkey. The grilled ham and cheese came with a single slice of ham. While we didn't expect piles of meat, a few slices would have been nice. 3 stars for the service and friendly atmosphere. I think the lunch items could use a little work but would probably give this place another try if I am in the area again.

Everytime we go home for visit our family is a must to stop and eat at Sandy, love the food have a homemade taste.

I am a little bias. She is my sister and all. Located off the beat and path in Markesan's bypassed downtown in what looks like maybe a renovated pole barn style building. But the inside of this diner reminds me of the diners of the 50's and 60's. Serves breakfast all day with lunch sandwiches and specials daily. All very reasonably priced.

We stopped here for lunch on our way home ( Johnson Creek) from Green Lake... tried their Cheeseburger & fries....will Definitely be back. The food was Awesome and the service was great. Very friendly... Very reasonable .... and one of those places where you feel at home. Oh yeah don't forget to have a slice of pie...Mmmmm!!!!!

My first visit here. The bacon cheese omelet was acceptable, the hashbrowns were very good and the pancakes were exceptional. Waitress was a pretty good looking lady if I may say. Prices were a tad high for a small town restuarant but still a better fare than you'll get at chain restaurants.Will make this place a regular stop.

Just walking in to Sandy's Diner is an add to my day . My family and I enjoy the good food and great service. Deb Mejchar
