    I ordered the Cajun pasta with chicken. The pasta was not too bad without adding salt the pasta itself was kind of bland but the chicken was pretty good. I did feel like it did not come with much chicken though. My wife got the chicken tenders and they were not too bad( hard to mess up), the fries were not too bad and decent seasoning. All in all I would say it was pretty good and would not mind coming back. Might not be a first choice but would still recommend. They do have good daily deals as well.

    I ordered chicken fried steak. The waitress didn't ask what side I wanted, so was given broccoli, which I don't like. My husband ordered chicken parmesan, but it was served without marinara sauce. When I said something to the server, she didn't offer anything to fix it (maybe some marinara sauce on the side?), just said it was a kitchen error. The rest of my food was okay, but not great. When I asked for our ticket, she brought the handheld device over, told me the total, and waited for me to dig out a card. She put machine in front of me while I was trying to decide her tip. When she brought the receipt, I realized why the total was more than expected. The prices listed on Google Maps haven't been updated. Chicken fried steak was listed as $12, but I was charged $16. Very bad acoustics, even though there weren't many customers. Don't plan on going back.

    This is my fifth time coming here to eat; everything had been great—until today. I had even recommended the place to my friends, and we came to play on the courts today, April 2, 2026. I ordered the salmon and rice dish—what a disappointment! The rice was like plastic—hard and dry—and the Caesar salad was completely wilted. It seems they are serving old food. And that’s not all: the food sat at the counter for about 10 minutes. I went to the restroom and saw it sitting on the kitchen counter, and when I returned to my table, they took a long time to bring it over—even though we were the only table waiting for food, as the place was empty. One more thing: the croutons in the salad were soggy. It was terrible. Please value your customers and maintain your quality standards.

  • Jeff Mozal★★★★★2 months ago

    Kind of hidden away in a sports complex, but a very nice restaurant. Food was excellent, as was the server. The breaded, fried shrimp meal was very good, as was the Signature Salad with chicken that I had. They had some unique sauces and dressings as well. The cocktail sauce was almost like a salsa and I got the Chipotle Ranch dressing for my salad. Both were delicious. Moderately priced and they offer a 10% senior discount. Well worth the stop. Server was friendly and attentive. We would eat at this restaurant again if in Derby, which is likely, as my son lives there!

    We had a VERY large group gathering here Friday night with a lot of out-of-town family, including every age group from a one-month old baby to 87 years old. There were almost 60 of us in total coming and going, both inside the reserved room and out in the dome. Our server, Anna (I think was her name?) was AMAZING. She kept so many tabs within our party separate, delivered food and drinks inside and out but always to the right place, and all with a smile on her face, though she was literally working up a sweat all night long. She was on her toes and never missed a beat. The Sandbox has such a cool vibe and something for everyone. We had groups playing cornhole, pickleball, kids playing in the sand, family enjoying a quiet visit at tables. Highly recommend, we all had a lovely time and will be back!
