I rated the food a 4, but only because it all seemed truly prepared in house from scratch. The flavors weren’t quite as fabulous as we hoped and expected – but totally not bad. When the server noticed we weren’t impressed, she did try to make it right.

Stopped here for lunch on a trip from DFW to OK. I had the chicken spaghetti and it was wonderful! It included a nice side salad with pecans and pears. My brother had a great BLT, and my spouse had a delicious chicken salad croissant sandwich. The server was speedy and courteous, and the interior was really quaint. Highly recommend!

Best restaurant in a while. Fast friendly service during lunch hour and the food was delicious. Definitely a must try . Chicken spaghetti orders have charity contributions. Not to mention the soapilla cheesecake was one of the best I have ever had.

We tried this place leaving Winstar on way to Fort Worth. It’s a quaint and cozy little place with the nicest staff. Hank weighted our table and was super friendly and knowledgeable. We visited during lunch and had the chicken spaghetti (delicious and filing), cheeseburger with all the fixings, homemade chips and hand-cut fries. The chips and queso came out warm and yummy. The rolls were hot and melted in your mouth. I will definitely add this place to our list of regular stops when traveling this direction.

Awesome little country diner with a distinctive gourmet flare. Super friendly service. Not weird though, just so good. A foodies favorite, and definitely worth the drive. One of those places that you want to try everything on the menu. Homemade desserts that are absolutely incredible. Just wish they were open for dinner.

Very, very good food and a delightful atmosphere. Each dish was unique and flavorful. It was a bit noisy and quite crowded when we arrived, as you would expect for a popular restaurant, but the helpfulness and attentiveness of the wait staff was second to none.

Lunch with my MIL. So so good! She has bragged about this place for years and she was right. Their Peanut Butter Pie is probably one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. All the food was fresh and amazing. Cute place using its old world charm at its best.

Sarah’s is one of those small town places you love to see. Wonderful service from local employees and homey food cooked in house. I stopped in on my way through Gainesville and ordered a few things. Everything was good but nothing blew me away, plus the price was fair. If I ever go back through I might stop by.
