Whitney’s Country Cafe (Amy's Country Cafe): A Taste of Comfort in Sandstone, MN

Whitney herself must have blessed my meal with her magical aura because that was a 10/10 patty melt dont know who the Amy lady is but Whitney sure did get me right. Whitney>Amy any day. *forgot about the lady who served us, she was super nice and interacting and made the atmosphere nice!

It's wasn't bad but it's not the best in the area. Huge inside but needs a revamp and new lighting inside. Smelt musty and wet because of that I just couldn't eat my food.

Quick getaway from the cities and decided we wanted to eat. Saw the reviews and some pics of the food - decided we had to try it ourselves (and it just so happens to be my name!) Amy's did not disappoint- great tasting food in healthy portions for a great price! I had the #1 with Chicken fried steak and cranberry wild rice toast. Amazing! I asked where I could buy the bread because it was so amazing. She actually had an extra load on hand in her freezer and she sold it to me! If you're in the area and you're hungry - you gotta try this place. Service was friendly, atmosphere was warm, and regulars seemed to be treated like family. Looking forward to the next time!

Breakfast food is what they're known for. I agree 100%. The blueberry pancakes were filled with fresh berries, the bacon was crispy and crunchy, and the hash browns tasted amazing. I would recommend giving Amy's Country Cafe a try if you're around in the area. Staff is friendly as well!

Small town Cafe - just how I like it. Breakfast served all day! I ordered the Vegeie Omelet, while the rest of the table ordered the Tuna Melt and the Turkey Club. Our waiter (Dylan) said it was his first day as a waiter. Very pleasant! The kitchen staff also popped out - equally pleasant. The food was very good - the staff accommodating. Truly ambassadors of the business and Sandstone!

Always stop here on the way home from Duluth. Great food and great people. I've had breakfast and lunch, both are amazing.

This is a fairly typical cafe but with a bigger dining area akin to a Denny's. As others have stated, it does look smaller on the outside than it actually is. Parking is either on the street or in the lot across. They offer wi-fi but be aware it's open, no password needed (as I'm finding with a lot of local establishments). We felt the prices were a bit high overall. Loved that they had nice hot water in the restroom to wash your hands with! Seat yourself when you walk in. There is lots of wood finishes so it is a bit darker inside with the only natural light coming from front and back windows, but gives it a cozy feeling. We were there before the lunch rush, around after 10AM. We ordered breakfast while commers after us ordered lunch and got theirs and finished before us. When we inquired, the waitress explained the gentleman at the counter had meatloaf and mashed and that it simply needed to be warmed up. Made sense (wondering if it were microwaved now) but the other couple guys a table over had sandwhiches/burgers & fries so I felt it was a poor excuse. I would have had more respect for a simple explanation. Despite that, we were satisfied with our meals. It came out in waves. My Mom was very happy with her eggs ordered medium and stated this is the first time anyone cooked them perfectly! Her hashbrowns were a bit over crispy while mine seemed to have been just right. Her pancake was neither fluffy/cake-like nor deflated and rubbery but somewhere in the middle, as she likes them. I enjoyed my french toast as it was done also somewhat in the middle of doneness but with the small slices could have used another. The bacon was a bit rubbery for my taste, not crisp. I could cut it with a fork and eat it that way. As others have also commented, there was a good amount of grease used, reminiscent of how my grandma used to cook it all in one cast iron pan. Great flavor, just be aware if you are cutting out fats. The coffee was good, a brand I had not heard of before but we could have used warm ups a little more often. They don't offer real cream nor sugar substitutes. When I inquired on the yummy looking cookies and asked when they had been made, I was informed on the date and it had been approximately 2 weeks ago and was promptly offered to purchase a box of Girl Scout cookies (thin mints were the first to sell out of course) from the window counter instead. I suggest asking the made date before ordering dessert. It all comes down to your taste and preferences as everything is subjective. All in all, it was a decent and relaxing breakfast. It's a 50/50 decision for me on returning more often/again.
