Whitney’s Country Cafe (Amy's Country Cafe)

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.

Good service; yummy food. Best poutine I've ever had! Though it's only the second time I've had poutine. But it was tasty, as were my husband's cinnamon French toasts, eggs, and little pig sausages. And the peanut butter oreo pie.

WOW so disappointed as we thought today's is our anniversary and due to raising grandchildren we decided to go out and eat steak and eggs for breakfast thinking we were going to have a great anniversary breakfast until after waiting over 30+ minutes for our meal how greasy can it get.. what we ordered was definitely not what we got.. I thought about putting a picture of our meal but I am not trying to shame anyone just putting a honest review.. our hash browns were so hard not crispy..we ordered with onions which wasn't in the hash browns but sitting in grease on the side of the hash browns, our egg's came out dirty Crispy on the edges again greasy..our toast was also swimming in butter and lastly the steak wasn't super delicious but very small and overly cooked in grease.. Yes I deserve to complain as well as I Did say something to the waitresses especially after paying the amount we Did..we accepted the apology that it's not always like that as well as we were not interested in a New order of hash browns to go..we felt at least Free coffee would of been nice but we just got the Bill of Grease..we will not try again to eat here..our money is just as important as well as being served a fresh healthy breakfast so there's no way we will give our money again to this business and it's really too bad.. I am not sure if the good cook's retired or what but there's no way I would have served my customers the way they served us!! I guess that's what we paid for the waste of having to toss it out..we were so hungry we had to eat something so The small steak and eggs we at least ate but the rest no way could stomach it .. now we sit with heartburn and we know why..GREASE!!!! I know nothing will change because of my review and we all have our opinions but I don't put reviews unless it's that bad...we are not interested in throwing away our money so we will not be back again.. I honestly hope the cook's reflect on everything as in the restaurant business that's where it starts is in the kitchen.. UPDATE: I appreciate your response and we ordered our steak's WELL done as well as our plates were not empty like you stated..we waited along time to get our food and if you really read My review it says exactly what we ate off our plates vs what we also didn't eat and left on our plates.. so for you to even say we ate everything isn't the truth...Thanks for responding to me!!

Absolutely EXCELLENT! I had an Everything Omelet & my wife had an INCREDIBLE club sandwich. Both were tasty and ample! Thank you so much! So glad we stopped there!

I used to love to eat here. The service was great the food was amazing. It was perfect for a small town like sandstone. But i havent been here since fall and me and my grandfather felt like we were invisible. The only time service came by was to see what we wanted to eat and thats it. The service today really disappointed me. No offers for drink refills even tho our cups were completely emptied. And the cheese on my hungry man wasnt melted one bit making the food seem dryer then usual. I really expected better service but i wasnt impressed.

Very awesome service. Delicious food. A little loud when busy, but not obnoxious or overwhelming. Such a great place to grab a bite to eat!

Stopped in for breakfast while visiting family. Service was great and the food was good. Inside decor could use a little tlc mostly being the seating areas.

It's a great place to come and relax, order food. Their prices are reasonable. There's staff is friendly and nice. I would recommend this restaurant for everyone!

We had the hot meatloaf sandwich. Home cooking delicious. Nice clean friendly atmosphere. Waitress was efficient with a great sense of humor.

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!
