Sands cafe in Thanet

Expensive menu, the fish was awful. A tourist trap for sure. Rude service and general bad vibes when eating inside the restaurant. One to be avoided for now I'm afraid.

We were with a group of disabled children and after we sat were told we had to move not giving us a chance to even order food. When ordering the staff were miserable and came across rude. We asked to fill a water bottle for one of the children to take his medication and was refused. Would not come back or recommend.

Please go there for the view. Sit back and relax. One side enjoy the sea, otherside enjoy the lovely road and the cars. Food is pretty avarage. Hot Chocolate was too watery.

Avoid, avoid, avoid. Similar to other reviews, the staff here are terrible - left me in tears. I arrived and took a seat ready to enjoy a coffee and feed my daughter. She wanted her bottle early (babies run to their own schedule), so I asked for some water and a cup to cook it down in. I was refused. Unsure if they had misheard by request I repeated myself, could I have some water and a cup. I was told by one member of staff that it was my decision to have children and that I should be prepared. They told me I could purchase a bottle of water for £1.30, which after returning to my seat to get my purse I did. Their service was appalling, the way they made me feel was so unnecessary and also very short sighted. I would of happily sipped a coffee and eaten a snack whilst I feed my daughter and my family joined me for lunch but I told them we were eating elsewhere! So what might seem like a bit of free tap water turned into a lost larger sale. I wonder how many other times this happens. Short sighted indeed….

Lovely lady in the downstairs bar and fabulous location. Told abruptly by a young man at 4.50pm on one of the hottest days of the year in the middle of summer that "we've been here since 9 we're closing" taking the table and chairs from beneath us. Nice ! No " Excuse me but we are closing in 10 minutes so would you mind drinking up" so rude. Obviously do not need the business as there was easily another 4 hours serving time. I work longer hours than that in a school! Honestly it beggers belief !

Don't fill water bottles, apparently all the high chairs are broken even though you can see them in the restaurant through the window looking absolutely fine. Rude staff, would not waste any money here, find better service elsewhere who want your custom.

Good prices and location with views over the beach, shame about the food quality though. Absolutely awful and with no taste. Chips were also super soggy.

You can only sit inside from 7am till 11 am About 8 of us planned on having full breakfast there or fish n chips but take away only,so left it

Good priced coffee and hot doughnuts. Looks clean and polite staff.

Lovely sea view outdoor seating. Nice and easy to eat here from just off the beach rather than taking everything back to the car first. No vegan options just chips hence 4 stars.
