    Short stack pancakes
    Grace F.

    Definitely a family established restaurant, the usuals go to this place & you can feel the love as soon as you walk in, get seated & placing your order. Everyone that works here, is super friendly. Located in the corner of a semi-busy street, depending on what time you go, but they have plenty of parking, again depending on how busy they get. There's plenty to choose from on the menu, whatever it is your craving, this place will have what you are looking for. If your in the area & unsure of what your looking for, why not stop in & enjoy a dish or two?

    Used to like this place but just went today and realized they gave me bacon instead of ham for my traditional Benedict and there was a bug in my salad !! I wasn't going to complain until I saw the bug. I called and someone answered saying "yo, yo, yo" and then hung up. It sad because I went here 2 years ago. Not sure what happened. The lady who gave me my to go order was also super sweet,, just wished they would better examine what they give out. The traditional Benedict was just okay, and the side salad came with no dressing.

    This is the owner's response to my 1 star review regarding the quality of the food and her rude attitude towards us.
    Marcy R.

    We had a negative experience at Sara's Kitchen this morning. Problem #1. My partner ordered an entree and asked for a side of corn. The server brought his dish with a side of mixed vegetables instead. My partner informed the server that his side was incorrect. The server told my partner that they didn't have any corn and simply decided to substitute his side for corn without informing my partner of the absence and discussing substitute options. Problem #2. The pancakes that another member of our party arrived to the table cold. The pancakes were inedible. Problem #3. Staff forgot to bring a side of toast for another member of our party who is of older age. The server was notified and brought out cold slices of toast that my grandmother could not eat due to the toast being hard from being out for so long. Problem #4. I ordered a side of corned beef hash that was completely forgot until the female owner was told about the situation. The owner apologized and quickly brings out a double portion of the beef hash supposedly. I take a bite and it is completely cold without any flavor at all! My partner tends to eat low sodium/salt free foods and even for himself it was bad. The potatoes in the hash were cold and a bit raw in the center. Problem #5. The attitude of the business owner was completely rude to us without any given reason. We spoke to her in a calm demeanor. I informed her of what went wrong with the toast, pancakes, and my beef corner hash. She asked us in a rude tone what she wanted us to do about it. She asked if she should remake the food or what. I politely told her no since we have to go to a church. The owner mocks me by saying God Bless before walking away. She comes back to the table to tell us that the only dish she will comp is the corned beef hash since it was a side. She refused to comp the meal that included the pancakes and toast due to these two items being 'free' since they are part of the meal. Problem #6. My family member asked the busboy for to go boxes. When asked how many, she told the busboy staff 3 boxes to which the female owner overheard. She immediately grabs the plate of cold pancakes that my family member considered taking back home and said that, "This is to give to the animals," before walking away. Everyone in our party had problems with our meals. We felt disrespected by the business owner and cheated. After coming to this restaurant for over a decade, we have decided to say never again! We don't appreciate being spoken to rudely and how the restaurant owner handled our issues. --------- This is in response to the owner's message that was a left as a compliment to me that states, "If you didn't like the food why ask for box to take home ." I clearly never said that we did not like the pancakes that you rudely took away from our table without asking us at all. The pancakes arrived cold to the point that butter could not melt over them. Which means that the pancakes were sitting out ready to get picked up for who knows how long before the pancakes cooled down. Yet, you still had the audacity to charge us full price for the meal with the pancakes - yet not give us the opportunity to take home something that we paid for. Who does this? Well, besides you of course.

    Breakfast Menu

    We have been coming here since college. It's always a solid breakfast option. There are so many tasty options for breakfast we always struggle to decide. Today we tried the Philly Cheesesteak for the first time, since the menu says they are famous for them. It was yummy but honestly the filling to bread ratio was a bit sad and it was nothing remarkable so we probably won't get it again. We also got the country fried steak and eggs, which were yummy but again, have had better elsewhere. The pancake that came with it was delicious, light and fluffy inside with the perfect flavorful browning on the outside. Sara's is really good at scrambles and omelettes so we will be sticking to those in the future. The service as always is great and was very pleased to get coffee while we waited for a table. Love the nostalgia of the little cafe diner atmosphere and the lovely nature of the owner.

    Custom scramble with ham and cheddar with side of hashbrowns.

    Been coming here since 2001 and starting my 25th year. Another great breakfast. Custom scramble with ham and cheddar along with a side of hash browns.

    Denver Omelette!
    Takako S.

    Breakfast at a nice cozy diner was a very good experience for Saturday morning. I enjoyed the non-stop coffee and Denver omelette with hash brown and a pancake. The waitperson was kind and helpful. We stayed long after we finished eating but never felt rushed (we made sure no one was waiting). Will eat here again when in the area!

    Great place for cheesesteaks! Different from the other cheesesteak shops around San Jose in that…read morethe hoagie roll was soft! Most cheesesteak shops have a thick and chewy hoagie that sometimes gets to be bit too chewy and becomes a problem trying to take a clean bite - more often than not, it ends up with the meat falling out of the hoagie, and/or juice oozing out onto your lap. Not so here at New Jersey's! This is the first time I ate a cheesesteak with no mess, no meat falling out, no juice on my pants! They solve the problem by using a soft hoagie roll. Yet there is not the sogginess that one automatically expects, as there is little juice to be soaked up. If you think that this makes for a dry cheesesteak, it does not. The meat is tender, not dry at all, the onions and mushrooms are not limp, but the flavor is all there! Some people may prefer the thicker bun to give it a definite bite, but I do like this more refined eating experience!

    Long time SanJose staple now on Hamilton ave across from Safeway. They have a small parking lot,…read morebut have indoor and outdoor seating. A full bar and ample seating inside. Walk up to the counter to order, or sit at the bar. Find a table and enjoy multiple tv's with different programming. Booth seats and table seats, you should find a place to enjoy your food. I personally have not been to this location, but had tried them when they were just Jerseys off of Winchester blvd. A friend recommended them because he said he had the best onion rings and they make their own ranch dressing. I got the standard cheesesteak with onions and cheese. Sadly I did not really get the cheese with my cheesesteak, there was one hidden slice inside my sandwich. Definitely not what I am used to if I have a cheesesteak anywhere else. The flavor was good, I just missed the cheese :( I know people love this place, but I will probably just go back to my regular spot on Saratoga.

The cheesesteak had lots of cheese and steak and the roll was very buttery. The fries were cooked perfect and came out hot. From what I can tell, it's just Kenny working here so the service can be a bit slow but he is very apologetic about taking a while for orders. But with that being said, I suggest you plan ahead or make sure you're not in a rush. I love that the place is decorated with all of his customers.

It had very little egg and was mostly filled with potatoes, which made it feel underwhelming. I've definitely had much better breakfast burritos elsewhere. The owner was very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. However, the restaurant itself felt very old and had a strong, unpleasant smell. There also didn't seem to be much ventilation, so I personally wouldn't want to dine inside. Overall, the friendly service was a plus, but the food and atmosphere didn't justify the price. I probably wouldn't return and would recommend trying one of the many better breakfast burrito spots nearby.

I live in San Jose now, so I don't make it over as often, but I've always considered it one of my favorite places for a great burger. In fact, I was just telling a coworker this week how good their burgers were, which is what convinced me to stop in for lunch today. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. I ordered a burger, my wife had the chicken tenders, and we shared an order of cheese fries. The burger arrived completely undercooked. The pictures don't even do it justice--it wasn't just rare, it was raw. After a few bites I realized the meat wasn't even warm in the center. Since they use pre-formed patties, I'd think cooking them consistently would be one of the easier things to get right. By the time I realized how raw it was, I'd already eaten a few bites, and the meal was ruined. We ended up spending about $50 on a lunch that was essentially inedible. It was also 1:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and the restaurant was surprisingly empty. Maybe that's a sign that things have changed, but it's sad to see. As a longtime customer, this wasn't the experience I expected from a place I used to recommend without hesitation.
