Landmark One Stop — Restaurant in Sanford

Favorite breakfast spot! (This was written in 2018)

I felt that I needed to come back and write a more recent review. Since Landmark’s recent move, I usually just order pickup and grab it at the window because the inside is usually packed on the weekend. Today some of my family decided they wanted to eat inside (2/27/20) and since I had some free time I agreed. Let me say this, the quality of the food has not changed and the servers do an awesome job making sure that everyone is serviced in a timely manner. They are friendly and never seem to be bothered by folks hollering at them as they walk by to help other customers and that alone should be commended however, the atmosphere has definitely changed. There has always been a table located in the front of the restaurant where a bunch of “gentlemen”, for the purpose of this post, sit. They’ve occupied this table at the previous location so I’m sure it’s only right that they carry on their tradition at the new location. They sit, talk loudly, and watch “particular“ customers as they enter the restaurant. At the old location they seemed more contained but at this new location today they made us feel unwanted, walked across me without saying excuse me, and basically stared a hole in us as we ate. One even hollered a political “joke” to another customer across the restaurant and started laughing loudly and nodding his head towards us. Now because I use to patronize this restaurant at least 3 times a week before the move I know that they are the owner’s “buddies” so perhaps that’s why he couldn’t see that they were being a nuisance to other customers. Even some of the ladies across from us shook their heads in disbelief. So I’m just forewarning others because it’s the same “gang” of men that have always occupied the table so they can be prepared. Needless to say I will not be eating IN there ever again. I’m pretty sure if I go in there hollering across the room and being disruptive and rude I’ll be asked to leave immediately. But hey, these are the times we live in. Sorry “gentlemen” we can eat at the...

Talk about efficiency! This place has their system down and moves a lot of people in a short amount of time.

On to the food. My wife got the sausage biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy, I got the super omelette with bacon, ham, and sausage, biscuit and home fries. We also shared a bowl of grits. Finally, we both got coffee and orange juice.

I have tried a lot of sausage gravy in my time. Everything from thick and goopy to watery with way too much flour. This, my friends, was hands down one of the best sausage gravies I have had in a dog's age. It was creamy and had a richness to it without feeling heavy. On top of that, they cut up your biscuit for you, into bite size squares making it that much simpler to get this delicious gravy-biscuit mixture to your mouth expeditiously.

My omelette was superb, and even with the amount of meat there was in it, it was not greasy at all. The home fries were perfect; crisp on the outside and fluffy in the center.

We both agreed the buttered grits were also great, being smooth and creamy.

Bottomless coffees also don't hurt.

Definitely worth your time and money.

Now, onto my non-food comments, of which I have never done before. I counted no less than 15 people come in while my wife and I ate, and say good morning to multiple people, by first name, as they ordered their breakfast. The same for those leaving. It appeared to be a multigenerational business with multigenerational customers. Everyone knew everyone, which is something I have sorely missed. I loved every minute of it and look forward to our next...

A little shoppe from another time and the best breakfast in Sanford if your too far away from your home kitchen or simply want breakfast that won't ruin your budget. I found this little gem by chance passing through one early morning and it smelled like the kitchen of my childhood home the moment I stepped in. The staff and the regulars seem to be a fine bunch as long as your respectful and social,an interesting and welcoming quirk that I don't find in many restaurants anymore. You have to be bold also,so be sure you order first,then sit down as it would help keep the small kitchen running smoothly in a just as small sized restaurant. The food quality is absolutely great for the prices offered in which both put all the fast food places in the area to shame. Sometimes the best things in life comes in...
