Little Sandy's Restaurant

Little Sandy's Restaurant is a small, homestyle diner at 17730 Garrett Highway (US 219) in Oakland, between Glotfelty Drive and Sand Flat Road on the stretch toward Deep Creek Lake. Locals and lake visitors come here for a hearty, unfussy breakfast.

A Diner in an Old Gas Station

The restaurant occupies a converted former gas station, so the building is plain from the road and easy to drive past if you aren't watching for it. Inside it's a casual, seat-yourself kind of place with table service.

What People Order

Breakfast is the main draw. Pancakes (including blueberry), omelets, eggs with country ham, French toast and biscuits and gravy all come up again and again, along with plenty of coffee. Diners also mention homemade soup, a homemade turkey dinner and open-faced turkey sandwich, fried chicken and baked treats such as cinnamon rolls and coconut cake.

Before You Go

Takeout is available, and the diner has high chairs for little ones and is listed as wheelchair accessible. Because it's popular with both residents and visitors, a short wait on busy weekend and holiday mornings is normal.

Little Sandy's is a good first stop if you want a filling breakfast before a day on the lake.
