We were 8 family members varying in ages and everyone spoke highly of their choices. The service was so spot on you'll need to experience the pleasure and pride they take knowing you're going to have a great experience! With a full menu there's something for everyone to enjoy. Nice atmosphere. We really have no suggestions other than keep up the same momentum

Sara's is a good local restaurant. The food is good but some of their recipes are different than…read moreyou might expect. Examples are their Caesar salad and the chicken marsala. Service is excellent and the staff very friendly. Overall not much on ambience. You can eat outside which is great when the weather cooperates; it's a covered area but too hot or cold can be the problem. Ownership of the restaurant is a caring individual.

Recently they relocated into a new building, what a fantastic upgrade. Food is awesome as usual. Be…read morepatient because the recent move has increased business and they are adjusting. Love the changes to the menu and overall restaurant experience.

We shared a small antipasti salad, a slice of Sicilian pizza, carbonara pasta (which came with 2…read moregarlic knots and a side salad) and tiramisu. Plenty of food plus 2 beers were about $45 before tipping. The salad and pasta were really good. Didn't love the pizza; it was so barely sauced it was a bit dry. We made the mistake of dining in. I didn't mind the causal decor but the pizza was served on a paper plate and the utensils were plastic. No idea why Yelp thinks I'm complimenting the ambience. I'm not, lol, but I can't deselect it. This a good takeaway option, fairly priced with friendly service.

Drink prices are fair and service is very good. The prime rib sandwich comes with plenty of meat which was delicious. Will be back often as long as we are in town.

Great service and good prices. Much of the food is scratch made but not the fried fish for the…read morefish and chips. Side salad, side of mushrooms and the Rueben sandwich were all very good. Beer choices were very good with affordable prices. Spunky McDoogle's to me is a cross between a sports bar and an Irish pub -- but too small. They need a bigger space. Also, parking is limited -- I can guess after 5pm it would be a challenge. Overall, a 4 rating.

The building is the same as it's been for the past, at least, 15 years. The floors are still dingy, the ceiling tiles still have stains, and they continue to paint over the old walls. But, today, I got everything I was expecting and more. The service was amazing and the highlight of the day. My burger was perfectly cooked, the fries were good, and the sweet tea was just right. I may not get my family back here, but I'll stop in again when I'm on my own.

We stopped in for a quick bite while on a weekend trip and had such a pleasant experience. Food and…read moredrinks came out super fast & our server was not shy about making craft beer recommendations. The Hawaiian burger - though made more medium well than "medium" - was juicy. Shrimp burger was flavorful all around with perfect seasoning blend! The fries were a strange shape and deliciously crispy. The space inside is expansive - more expansive than it appears since the facade makes the place look like it's a smaller venue. The décor is well done with a perfect mix of rustic charm and comfort. From the bear statues to the wall hangings, there is so much attention to detail everywhere. Though we didn't bring a fur baby. The back of the menu makes it clear pups - and horses - are welcome!

Learned quickly that you less you are one of the gentlemen sitting in the corner of the bar by the window, your drinks are not a priority over personal conversations and friends. - Aside from the ridiculous amount of time it took the bartender to remember there were other people there and other orders, she poured the wrong beer. (There are only 9 on tap) - Ordered wings and got bones with barely any meat on them. Additionally the buffalo shrimp which I normally ordered is now a sweet sauce. - There are individual TVs in each booth. While I didn't care, I thought it was funny it took the guy in the back to realize ours wasn't on and to come out and fix it. Extremely dissatisfied. Guess you need to be a regular (known by name) to have a good visit
