Reviews for Sandra's Next Generation in New Haven, CT
UPDATE: I'm lowering review from 5 stars to 2 stars after today's experience. As the original review indicates (see below),... they used to honor the $10 lunch special for vegetarians, which consisted of 4 sides. I would've been okay if they raised theprice since my last visit a year or so ago (like most retailers). But not today, in fact every side dish, 4-8oz container, was$5 each. Quick math, carry the one...and you get $20 for the same $10 lunch a year ago. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Excellent meal of 4vegetables since I don't eat meat, just fish sometimes. I'll be back. And the Desserts look amazing too. Bring cash Read more
Customer service was great, the employees were very nice and helpful however, this food is not good. The fried catfish has no... crunch and has a ?fresh out the water? aftertaste. The mac and cheese has no salt and isn?t baked enough, the candied yams haveno candy. The fried chicken is meh, and they give one piece of cold cornbread. Just bland and soft. The portion sizes are poor.$20 for two meats and two sides and got 1 piece of soft catfish and two chicken wings boiled in grease cause this isn?t fried.I?m not even tryna be funny but these are easy improvements.

Food was really good, and it was authentic. I liked that I was able to place the order online. I do wish they put a sign within... their restaurant indicating where to go for online order pickup. When I went in the first employee told me to wait on theregular line, which I did. 10 minutes later, the cashier told me the pickup section was somewhere else. Turned out ny food wasready and I was waiting for nothing. Better communication would have been nice. Other than that, was a nice pitstop for yummysoul food. Read more
The food at Sandra?s is the bomb!! Sadly It?s only takeout and it does take about 20minutes for them to prepare the food but the... wait was worth it. I had the salmon with collard greens, yams, and rice (the rice was included). I added a little jerk sauce onthe side because I love my food to be extra saucy. Read more
Food was great. But could have portion it out a bit better. My souse literally had a spoon full of Mac n cheese. Don?t advertise... 4 sides and then the portions aren?t side sizes. Food was tasty overall. Read more
My lovely gf paid for the convenience to have our families thanksgiving dinner made - exactly $260 later, with the scheduled... pick up time being, 7pm. I arrived early from cities away. Arrived to a huge crowd, confused on how they?d pick up orders, etc.it is now 9:54 and I?m still sitting outside in my car with my 3 year old, with nothing but promised times that can?t be met. Iwas also told if I like I could leave and have it delivered. My $260 was taken in advance and, that to me should have ensuredtonight service, despite the occasion. As a business owner myself. I know to never over book, because I can?t possibly met theneeds I advertise or promise. Not one apology or accommodation. My plans have been pushed back. My money didn?t take 3 hours toreceive?no excuse is good enough, nothing is ever too busy to address paying, hardworking people. This definitely was a majorset back in my day, and I wouldn?t recommend spending on holidays. Oh she also had to pay a $25 late fee for ordering, but I?mstill in my car (it?s 10:14). It?s now 11:20 and I made it home and I discover raw chicken, not cooked and I was told my lasthour of waiting, this is what I was waiting for?just wow The second photo, was their way of saying sorry and honestly thedrinks we didn?t want or need, and we the dessert could have been kept as well?not okay Read more
Went here for the first time and we really enjoyed the food. The banana pudding cake was awsome. The fried chicken was crispy,... juicy and flavourful. Lemonade was sweet and tart and the mint added a nice touch. We ate outside because we had a two hourdrive back home. It was worth the trip. Thank you Read more
