Locally owned and operated gem in Sunset Beach/Ocean Isle. Delicious breakfast meals with pleasant atmosphere and service.

We really enjoy Sarah's kitchen usually! However this last time we went I got cross contamination with shellfish which I am very allergic to and I explained that and was assured I would be ok that shrimp doesn't go near what I was getting.. needless to say I had an ambulance meeting halfway down the road from there when I left ...... the breakfast and lunch are both amazing here but I'm not sure if I'll be able to return because I fear for my safety. read more

Sarah's Kitchen is a staple at Sunset Beach. They run a deal on breakfast for $6.99 and they carry some bagel flavors from a local place which are very good. I ordered an omelet with bacon and cheese and this was cooked well. This came with home fries and a biscuit but I didn't try. The others in my party had a grit bowl and loved it. We ate outside. Sarah's is easy to find and convenient. They also serve lunch. And you can bring your pooch if sitting outside which is nice. read more

Sarah's Kitchen - Diners Near Me - Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina

We were informed when we ordered that they were out of grits (they are located across the street from a grocery store). We ordered sausage patties and both got links. When we asked the server about it, she said they were out of patties, too, but that the kitchen is bad about not telling them....seriously? The breakfast was cold, the serving sizes were small for the price, and the service was not good. Waste of our money and we won't be back. read more

We live near Philadelphia so we know cheesesteak and Sarah's has a very good cheesesteak. The steak seasoning was very flavorful. I wish it had just a little more meat. We also like Mary's steak fries which were crunchy, tender and perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and the ambiance is clean and bright. We had a very nice lunch and we will come again! read more

First of all, I'd like to compliment whoever handles the marketing for this establishment, bc it's really stepped up their game. The daily FB posts, etc have to draw people in just by the photos ... as it did for us! Finally gave it a try after seeing the amazing posts. Inside is small, but also fits the small town feel of Sunset. Outside patio looks beautiful and is dog friendly. I ordered the corned beef hash, but substituted the two eggs for a cup of sausage gravy, because that is my favorite. Everything was absolutely amazing... Corn beef hash portion was a little small, but was also the perfect portion without feeling overstuffed. Sausage gravy was delicious and the hashbrowns were seasoned perfectly. My friend ordered the hash bowl and said it was flavorful and delicious! Our waitress Kylie was so friendly and accomodating (and has super cute dogs ). We will be back! Great place for breakfast - next time we will try for lunch! read more

Sarah's Kitchen - Corned beef has (substituted sausage gravy instead of 2 eggs) - Diners Near Me - Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina

The food went straight from the freezer to the microwave but not to me that took quite awhile. Awful food terrible service.

Disappointing- 2 gravy biscuits-not much gravy and little to no sausage..going back to Hardee's. Will say grits are good and creamy. Hubs had over done corned beef looked like from a can. read more

On my recent visit I ordered 2 bacon and egg on bun with extra bacon and a soft drink. Went to pay and it was $29.13 after tax. I was at a loss for words. Drink was 3.95 and extra bacon was 4.95 per sandwich(2 slices bacon) Considering the food was made already, I didn't want to be the guy who made them toss it so I paid and left. I have made sure I tell everyone I can about this experience. This is absolute greed and way beyond actual inflation. People wonder why more people don't frequent these local establishments more often and it is this over charging for items that can purchased elsewhere for so much cheaper. It is due to this and also the egg was dripping with buttery/oil and the bacon was so tough like it had been sitting in a warmer for a while. This is a lesson learned. Hardee's is in the same parking lot. I can eat there every morning I work for the price of these 2 sandwiches that left alot to be desired. If your money is easy to part with then by all means go ahead. read more

We went for breakfast and they had an amazing omelette and pancakes. The bagel however tasted like it had been frozen and not fully warmed up which made it stale. The service was quick until it was time for the check and we waited quite some time before they brought it to us. They did have live music outside during breakfast hours which was nice. read more

First time we ate here earlier in the year, the shrimp burger was great...lightly browned and succulent. Maybe it had been grilled? Went earlier this week and, sadly, will not go back. The shrimp burger was fried crispier than an overcooked chicken nugget and our Cole slaw was extremely soupy. Is there a new cook? So disappointed. read more

This is a great little find! Great little family place. Great food, great prices, courteous, friendly and efficient staff. Just really nice people. Oh yeah, and they serve breakfast until 4:00pm! Can't wait to go back! Thanks Caitlin read more

Sarah's Kitchen - Sausage and cheddar omelette with hash browns and a biscuit and coffee - Diners Near Me - Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina

The omelet was spot on and so good. The home potatoes weren't. I do not like or use seasoned salt on my fries or home fried potatoes. Yuk. The rest was okay except our waitress left us hanging on refills the two times we needed them and we had to ask the guy bussing tables to refill us. ‍‍ The omelette was banging though. read more

Yummy food, with super quick service! Indoor seating is minimal so be prepared to sit outside unless you get lucky.

Unfortunately, this is one of the worst breakfast meals I've had at a restaurant. I ordered the breakfast platter. The scrambled eggs tasted like they were a chopped up omelet, the grits were WAY too salty, and the biscuit was very dry. It was so bad I couldn't finish my food and left hungry. I do not recommend this place. read more

Can only say I have never had anything but super service and the food is always perfectly prepared and tasty. Always look forward to returning. read more

Little hidden gem in Sunset Beach. Breakfast is always good and staff super nice Must visit read more

The good: the servers are attentive, kind, and hard working. The inside and outside are welcoming to guests. The coffee was hot. The not so good: the gravy and biscuits taste like powdered black pepper gravy mix from Sysco with some sausage added. It was bland and tasted like a powdered gravy should.... Biscuits were not much better. My potatoes were cold. Her potatoes were cold. Her sandwich was cold. read more

Casual spot for breakfast and lunch. The food is great. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast burrito and the country bennie. My wife loves the fluffy pancakes. There is a covered patio where we usually eat and it is dog friendly! Service is attentive with coffee coming nonstop. Our go to spot for breakfast. read more

They were extremely busy on Saturday noonish. Waitress very personable and friendly. Everything we ordered was good, but nothing stood out from other restaurants. read more

The food and service were absolutely amazing!! I cannot wait to eat there every time I come. I highly recommend this to everyone!

Decent breakfast choice. The staff were extremely kind. The food was average. They have these cool fans on the outdoor tables where we dined to keep the fly's away. I've never seen anything like that. They worked great. Sarah's has more outdoor dining than they do indoor. read more

The service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. We got waited on quickly and food was out just as quick. The food was fresh and the servings were more then adequate. We would definitely stop in again. read more

Really nice diner. Not far off the island. Service was amazing. Breakfast was like home cooking! Have a nice little patio off the side if the restaurant. Nice setting. read more

The food was good, friendly staff, and loved eating outside on the patio. I like the turtle. Great spot for breakfast after a relaxing beach trip. read more

First let me say we'll go back We went for breakfast and got a seat right away I ordered the country fried steak platter. My wife got 2 eggs and bacon platter. Hers was great. They fried my steak to death. The gravy on the steak was great and the biscuit was great. Home fries were under cooked and I ordered them crisps. When we go back I'll get a gravy biscuit with bacon and try the home fries again. Sweet tea was good. read more

Food was good and hot, as was the coffee. I got an omelette and hash browns with toast. Everything came out warm, hash browns were hot! Service was good. It's a smaller place, maybe 10 tables inside, so there isn't a whole lot of elbow room, but sufficient enough to sit. Waitress was really nice. I would go there again without hesitation. read more

Good food and a nice people . Local spot and more people are starting to recognise how good it is

This is such a great place for breakfast!! Can eat outside or inside and have great food! Friendly waitresses and waiters! Recommend this restaurant! read more

Can't comment on the food as the three waitresses stood around chatting inside and left me outside waiting for 15 minutes. I walked back in and they were all still in the same spot. 4 tables, all had food, no excuse for the poor service. They realized they forgot me and I just shook my head and walked out. Bada Bing Bagels up the road was a great Plan B. Forget this place. read more

Great lunch! Party of 6 and everyone raved about the food, from the pancakes, breakfast buritto, hash, biscuits & gravy to the burgers , fries & the hot wings. All hot and tasty! The 9 year old is still raving about the wings! read more

The food is always fast coming out and hot! The daily specials are something to look forward too! The service is the best in town. Literally every waitress is attentive at all times! The out side patio is a nice place to sit and enjoy your breakfast of Lunch! read more

Sarah's Kitchen - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Diners Near Me - Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina

Been going to Sarah's since it opened. Always good breakfast & lunch .. good friendly service too !! Highly recommend!!

It truth I don't know about the food. They were open Thanksgiving day and we had a reservation. We got there on time but they weren't able to seat us. That's was fine, they were busy and we waited. The problem came 20 minutes later. During that time there were no new customers and when their person came out we were informed they were out of turkey and sweet potato. So out of the 2 mains they were out of one and of the 4 sides out of 1. They should have known they were out when we checked in as those already seated would have ordered already. It's a poor way to treat customers. On top of that 2 in our party of 7 don't eat pork so they wouldn't have had a main. They had advertised they would have a full menu that day but they didn't and they weren't willing to discount the $25 a plate. Needless to say we weren't very happy. read more

5 stars for a breakfast place. The staff is personable and the food was very good. No wait and outside seating was comfortable.

Super yummy food! Seemed like a local place with friendly service. Can eat inside or outside; rain or shine!

Took them ten minutes to seat us, and refused to serve us breakfast because it was too close to 11, after ordering lunch it took 35 minutes to come out. The waitress was extremely blunt and impatient and let all of our waters go empty until we had to ask for refills. I give the food a 6/10 and the service a 1/10. It has the uncanny feeling of a gas station without the gas. Anyone who would give this place anything more than 2 stars almost definitely has mental issues However the breakfast here could just be absolutely amazing but of course we will never know. read more

Excellent service! We sat outside under the covered area. A storm blew in with thunder and lightning. Our son was scared and they offered to move him inside to a two top with my husband. Food was delicious! A big thank you to the staff! read more

COLD. Was the theme of the morning...from coffee to eggs to nasty fried tater tots to raw bacon. Just stay away. Watching the cooks in the back they haven't a clue. read more

Solid breakfast place. Service was outstanding. A little small inside but they have a great outdoor area when it's good weather season. Would definitely return to try out lunch! read more
