Hero’s to zero’s! I am a disabled vet with a service dog. I love Diner’s. Sara’s Diner looked inviting. full parking lot. On track for a 5 star review. BUT THEN,…. Going to pay my check…. The manager decided to instruct me on ADA compliance and service animal rules. Now,…. Although the thanks I get for my service is appreciated but not necessary, I don’t appreciate instruction (especially when leaving) on ADA Compliance. Again, especially when I live it 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I know the law chapter and verse. Her understanding is marginal at best, and Health Department fliers do not trump Federal Law. This review only serves to educate folks…. “Thank you for your service,…. Unless you have a service dog.

Sara’s Diner isn’t just breakfast — it’s an experience. From the first bite of their house-made sausage gravy, I was transported straight back to childhood weekends in the kitchen with my dad, a chef who believed everything worth making was worth making from scratch. That same care, flavor, and authenticity shows up in every plate they serve. The portions are generous without sacrificing quality, so you will absolutely leave satisfied. The service is fast, genuinely friendly, and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. On top of that, the prices are more than reasonable for the quality and quantity you receive. Every visit, every order, somehow exceeds expectations. If you appreciate real, scratch-made comfort food done right, Sara’s Diner sets the standard for what breakfast shoul

Been coming here off and on for 4 years. Just the best diner food ever! And they got the soft peppermint candies! Mmmmm….

Short wait. Food nothing special. Waited 40 minutes for breakfast food. Helen our server was less than accommodating. Had to ask for coffee refill, cream and Splenda. Questioned where food was after 35 minutes since people who came in after us were leaving already. Helen was not nice at all. I told you kitchen was behind and there was 4 tickets in front of you!! She however was busy talking crap after we questioned about food. Kitchen was obviously busy but it’s your job as a server to keep guests happy. I can understand slow kitchen I don’t understand awful attitude of server! I guest talking to your friends is way more important!!

What a charming little restaurant! The breakfast was satisfying and very traditional, I have truly enjoyed the experience. Also, must mention their sweet potato fries,probably the best I had. Our waitress Helen was super sweet and pleasant. If you are ever in the area, please see them!
