Sweet & Salty Island Grindz - Sanford (FL)

5 /5 Sara Reeves: I have eaten here numerous times and the food is always amazing!! Today was my first time trying the loco moco smash burger and it did not disappoint!! If youre looking for great food with massive portions, youve found the place. Alpha at the counter is always friendly and helpful and Chef Bobby always cooks to perfection!!

5 /5 Jacob Stricklin: I absolute love this place. While most other vendors at Henry’s Depot have “good” food, Island Grindz makes a memorable meal. I have to travel every so often and if I am in north Orlando or Sanford I will always stop here. I will pass up any recommendations if it means I don’t get a hot butter chicken katsu sandwich. Side of fries is a heaping portion. Hands down and thumbs up to Island Grindz. Consistently worth it.

5 /5 Chinmaya Poopal: Oh, what a fantastic find! We absolutely loved our visit to this place. The katsu chicken is, without a doubt, the best weve ever had—it was perfectly soft and juicy on the inside, with a satisfyingly crispy coating on the outside. A true masterpiece! Even though Im not usually a fan of macaroni, the Mac salad here completely won me over. Its incredibly creamy and perfectly seasoned, with a delightful crunch from the carrots. You can genuinely taste the top-notch quality of every single ingredient. This spot is a definite must-visit, and well be coming back many, many times!

5 /5 Andi DeL: I loooooooooved this. After seeing a few videos on Tik Tok and Instagram of people trying the Hot Butter Chicken Katsu sandwich, I knew I wanted to make time to go out to Sanford to try it. I loved it. It was HUGE and full of flavor. The katsu was crunchy and perfect. The mac salad that was on the sandwich was great. Very creamy and tasty. I’m from Orlando and made the trip. I was having a terrible day and decided to treat myself. Alpha (hopefully spelled that correctly) helped me and he was incredibly kind and gave great service. I believe he mentioned chef Johnny cooked my sandwich (I hope I got his name right!) so I wanted to give a mention to him as well. Can’t wait to bring friends to try this place and I also can’t wait to try more of their dishes - they look great. It’s located in a cool food hall with indoor and outdoor seating, though i imagine the seating is probably limited on weekend. Still not a deterrent. All of this to say, I had a great experience and am stoked to come back again.
