The Sandlot

Known for its impressive lineup of hand breaded chicken sandwiches, juicy Two-N-Two burgers, and the classic Chicago-style hot dog, this spot effortlessly captures the spirit of a neighborhood favorite with a twist of classic Americana.

What truly sets The Sandlot apart is the careful attention to detail in every dish. The Two-N-Two Burger, with its double layers of meat and cheese topped with your choice of grilled or raw onions, lettuce, tomato, and their signature Sandlot spread, delivers a juicy, flavorful bite that’s deeply satisfying. For heartier appetites, go for the 3 N 3 or 4 N 4, quadruple layers of meat and cheese that remain perfectly balanced, never overwhelming. And if you're a connoisseur of fries, their fresh cut French fries offer a golden, crispy perfection that complements every meal — no wonder customers rave about their similarity to beloved Penn Station fries.

Beyond the burgers and fries, The Sandlot’s shakes are an experience of their own.

The space is intimate—featuring a handful of indoor tables and some inviting picnic tables outside—making it ideal for a casual lunch or a laid-back dinner with friends. Customers consistently praise the friendly, efficient service that keeps the experience smooth and enjoyable, even during busy times.

From burger aficionados like "Deplorable Rob," who was won over after years of anticipation, to casual diners like "Hannah D." who appreciates the quick, satisfying nature of the meals, The Sandlot delivers on its promise day after day.
