    French toast side
    Dante B.

    Sarom's is a local gem for a reason--great service and consistently delicious food keep people coming back. You really can't go wrong with the country fried steak or the chicken and waffles. On my most recent visit, I tried the classic frittata and was pleasantly surprised. It's definitely something I'd order again. I usually stop by for breakfast, so I haven't explored the lunch menu yet, but it's on my list for next time.

    Food is delicious!! , portions are good too specially for the price!!, the service is good , they are attentive but do seem to rush you a bit, ambiance feels nice, they got the old hits playing at all times so you are vibing as you eat. Definitely recommend . Do not forget to try their desserts!! I fell in love with their banana pudding.

    Country Fried Steak
    Dylan Y.

    I've been to the south and their cooking is amazing. So, when I came here, I compared their dish to what I had in the south. I think it's edible but definitely was the California version. Would I go back? Probably not.

    Country Fried Steak
    Emily N.

    Me and my friend ordered Country Fried Steak and the French Toast Combo. Country Fried Steak: 8.4/10 The sauce was quite flavorful and the steak itself wasn't too chewy or soft to eat. The mashed potatoes weren't too soft and had some good seasoning as well. However, I wished that the country fried steak was a bit more crisper and that there's a bit more seasoning in the steak. The biscuit was soft and it's not too dry. Overall, it's very solid and they gave good portions. The servers were really kind and had really great hospitality. There was a great ambiance since the restaurant was very clean and it gives a comforting vibe when you walk in. If I came here more often and tried the other dishes that they offer then I might give them 5 stars but overall it's a great brunch spot to eat at.

    Waffle Combo
    Ron W.

    First time eating at Sarom's Southern Kitchen and we were impressed with the service, the music, the comfortable seating but most of all the delicious meals we had. I chose Sarom's special omelette with country potatoes and a biscuit with gravy. She had waffles and scrambled eggs with sausage. The omelette was very tasty as were the potatoes. The portions were too big to eat at one sitting so half the potatoes came home with us, plus a sausage and half of the waffles. The staff were friendly and attentive but not clingy. We are looking forward to returning and trying new things.

    Yes, from opening day to just the other day, they made it up to five stars. Great service with delicious meals, I would most highly recommend Sarom's. My go to dish is their gumbo, it's tops in the sacramento area. Open for breakfast and lunch only, don't come for dinner.

    2 eggs with Turkey Bacon and Grits.
    Shalan D.

    This is my 2nd time coming here for brunch and we had a party of 3. My BF ordered the 2 eggs with bacon and grits. The grits are awesome as my bf says. You can order turkey bacon as we did; but we didn't know it was extra till we saw the bill. I got the French toast combo which includes eggs and bacon. I wanted some country potatoes so I ordered a side. The Potatoes are wonderful. My daughter got the mini Mac and cheese meal wich was with fries. The fries great and the Mac n cheese she said it was ok, as the first time we came here it was better. The mini meal was perfect if you just want a little bit of food or for kids. The restraunt was busy on a Saturday afternoon as we had to wait a little bit but maybe like 5-10 min. Service was quick we new what we wanted and put our order in. This is great spot for breakfast and lunch. Often crowded but always enough chair for any party. Highly recommend

    I've been to Sarom's location in Sacramento and it's decent, so I decided to check out the Elk Grove location to see if there would be a difference in quality. I stopped in on my way from running errands on got hungry. I decided to order the catfish with eggs and grits. The service definitely could have been better, but it wasn't the worst. I get my grits first and they are cooked to perfection creamy and delicious, everyone cannot cook grits properly the cheese and butter set it off for me. My sunny side up eggs were tasty and the catfish was just okay. They were perfectly fried not dry, however someone over seasoned the catfish was it wasn't pleasant to eat at all, it was way too salty. Yuck! The restaurant had plenty of seating. It did take my server a while to check on me or even bring my check. I will give them another try, but the Sac location is a little bit better to me.

    Chicken PO'BOY Sandwich
    No N.

    Came around 2pm on a Friday. Dining room was about 3/4 full maybe 6 tables or so being served. So kind of busy but people are coming in and out. Ordered the Country fried steak and Po Boy Chicken sandwich with upgraded sweet potato fries TO-GO. They did not tell us how long we could potentially be waiting... We waited 30 minutes to get our order. Cell reception sucks so you can't really play with your phone while waiting for your food which it made it more excruciating. Had to step outside. The worst part was when I got home. Sweet potatoes fries were super soggy so I had to air fry it. What's unforgivable was that on my Po boy, they gave me a tiny strip of burnt chicken!!! It was super dry too The tartar sauce on the sandwich was good so I give them that, and Country fried steak was decent... but when you mess up the one thing you should be good at and you make guest wait 30+ minutes for burnt food, that's something you can't overlook. We had the chance to try them when they were good but the quality has gone downhill while price has increased. I won't be coming back. Tip: call in advance to order or expect to wait a lifetime. Maybe ask if it would be faster to dine in? They close at 3pm too. Check your chicken before you go home. $16 for po boy not worth it. Don't upgrade to soggy sweet potatoes fries.

    Catfish Shrimp and Catfish Plate
    Tien D.

    We were a party of three on a Sunday and we were able to get seated right away for lunch. We ordered the country fried steak which came with biscuits/gravy and mashed potatoes, fried chicken plate with 3 wings and collards greens and biscuit/gravy, and fried catfish and shrimp plate with coleslaw and fries. The country fried steak tasted good but it was nothing special. The potatoes were very plain and could have used more seasoning. Biscuit was a little dry by itself but very tasty with the gravy. Wings were light and crispy. The collard greens were perfectly cooked and had a bit of a spicy kick that I wasn't expecting. Very good though. The shrimp was okay. There were four small shrimps and it was nothing out of the ordinary. My favorite dish was the catfish and I would definitely order that again on my next visit. It came with tarter and spicy remoulade sauce but it wasn't needed because the fish was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It was the perfect bite. Service was fast and efficient and they checked on our table several times.

    Pancake Combo: pancakes hot & fluffy
    Edwin C.

    Food: 4.0 Service: 4.4 Sunday brunch after church so we drove to a restaurant we haven't tried in EG but their wait was out the door and wifey is diabetic so I never want her to have an excessive wait; so we name three other places we've frequented and off we went but I decided to call an audible and Sarom's it is! We walked in and was greeted by a staff member and some friends waiting for a table. We actually got seated at the same time as our friends. They took our drink order while we looked over their menu and my wife was torn between lunch or breakfast; I was ready to have their pancake combo then wife orders their breakfast version of country fried steak (BTW that's her go-to, LOL). Food comes out fast but even during our wait our coffee cups were never empty. Our food was delicious even though I thought my sausage links were going to be overcooked but I was wrong it had a nice snap and juicy inside. I ate my toast, sausage, and eggs before tackling the pancakes which stayed hot & fluffy. My wife's food slowly disappeared and left a smile on her face! Glad I made that audible call! Thanks Sarom's until our next visit.

    Spicy fried chicken sandwich - comes with crispy fries!
    Cindy M.

    I've been here a few times but it's about time I write a review! This most recent time, I went on the weekend for brunch and it was busy. It probably took us about 20-30 minutes to be seated. Service was friendly. I ordered a catfish po boy and it came with fries. Overall, it was a good sandwich, but a bit on the saucy side. The fries were nicely crisped. We also got a mini potato pie to share which came out cold, but it was not bad. It is very similar to a pumpkin pie. Ambiance was a bit loud but expected. Restaurant is fairly clean. There's plenty of parking in this plaza. Overall, this is a solid brunch place for Elk Grove!

    Why have I waited to try this place? Yah, I don't have an answer either lol Came in on a Sunday after church and the place was packed however the wait was not long as folks were finishing up when we arrived. The 5th Star on this review is for the hospitality from the staff, one particular one stood more than the others and I believe his name was Varrak (forgive me if I butchered the name/sp). His customer service and our encounter with him put made it easy for an all 5 star rating. He gives you this sence that he is like the favorite cousin in the family What we ordered: Chicken fried steak and eggs with potatoes and biscuit with gravy and the hash brown bowl - recommend by our server for breakfast and we are glad we took his word. Both meals provided comfort like your mama or grandma made it with love in the kitchen. The gravy is made in house and its yummy!!! We will definitely be coming again to try the many items on the menu. We say Gumbo and Jambalaya at the near by table that made us questioning if coming back in a few hours is possible lol This restaurant is in a small shopping area with tons of parking. Limited business hours and most likely run and operated by family. Don't expect dashing presentation - this restaurant wont waist their time for all that, instead they will put all the love on everything that comes out of that kitchen and into your stomach. Be nice, be patient and support them genuinely.

    Had dinner here.. always so delicious! Restaurant is quite small and reservation is highly…read morerecommended. For a Thursday evening they were still very busy. Service is always so amazing! The staff is super attentive and ready to fill your cups or take away any finished dishes. Tonight I had the plum salad. Sounded a little on the wild side but it was amazing! So sweet and refreshing I ate every bit of it! Loved it! For my entree I picked the braised short ribs .. it was so tender! I was put off by the blue cheese mash beneath it a bit but it's ok because the short rib was so delicious. For dessert I had the berry crumb cobbler. The cobbler came with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. It was great! The berries were sweet and the crumb top was so buttery. Everything flowed deliciously. My husband had the filet mignon.. he said it was made medium rare just as he asked. And of course the crème brûlée is the reason why he keeps coming back lol My go to for fine dining in Elk Grove! Love the intimate scenery with great food!

    I made a reservation inquiry for my birthday at exactly 5:00 PM on Saturday, April 11, for a party…read moreof two. I was told the earliest available reservation was 7:45 PM. I then asked if there was any chance of being seated sooner as a walk-in, and Aubrey told me they had room for two at a table in the bar area. I specifically asked whether it was an actual table where we could comfortably order food, because I did not want to be stuck at some tiny corner setup where only one plate could fit. I also made it clear that it was my birthday and that I wanted something a little more formal and comfortable. I was told it would be in the front by the bar, not shoved in a corner, though it could be a little crowded if people were in the waiting area. When we arrived, the first issue was parking. For a first-time guest, parking was unnecessarily difficult to figure out, especially during a rainstorm. Since the restaurant is set up like a small house, it was not obvious where to park, and there was no clear sign letting us know there was parking around the back. Once we walked in, I immediately saw the table that had been described to us. It was right near the bar against the wall, and it was much smaller and more awkward than I had been led to believe. My girlfriend was wearing a dress, and because it was such a high table, it made it uncomfortable for her to sit naturally and comfortably. As soon as we sat down, I looked at the table and asked if we were really going to be able to order multiple items and eat comfortably there. I was told they would "pace it" and "make it work." That should have been the warning sign right there. We started with two ice waters, and even that nearly filled the table. They brought a pitcher and poured the water into the glasses. I asked for a separate cup of ice, and because there was so little room on the table, I had to ask the waiter to take the glass back and pour it for me so I would not spill everything. That is how cramped this setup was. We ordered the chicken breast special and a half dozen oysters. First came the garlic bread, and now we had bread, butter, two waters, silverware everywhere, and barely any room left. Then the oysters arrived, and everything had to be shifted around just to make it fit. At that point, the table had bread, oysters, hot sauce, waters, and multiple pieces of silverware for each guest, and it felt like one wrong move would send a glass to the floor. After we finished the oysters and bread, they cleared the table and brought out our entrée. We ordered the shareable chicken breast after I specifically asked whether it would be enough food for both of us. The waiter said it should be. In reality, it was about four small pieces of chicken once cut, three asparagus spears, and two very small scoops of mashed potatoes. For the price, it was honestly disappointing. I cannot remember the last time I paid that much at a nicer restaurant and still left hungry. What made it worse was that they knew it was my birthday and did absolutely nothing to acknowledge it. No small dessert, no candle, no gesture, nothing. Ironically, the only people who made the night feel special were another couple who had apparently been dining there for years. They overheard us mention it was my birthday and kindly bought us two sparkling wines. That was thoughtful, but it also added even more clutter to an already ridiculously tiny table. The service overall was underwhelming. We were barely checked on, and the whole experience felt awkward. The hostess kept staring at us throughout the meal, and at one point, she rolled her eyes when she went to take the Tabasco sauce, and we told her we still needed it for the chicken. For the prices Boulevard Bistro charges, I expected much better service, better communication, and a much more comfortable dining experience. Instead, the whole night felt misleading, cramped, and disappointing. I will not be coming back.

They all go beyond to do what they can for all as quick as possible. I have been in customer service as a stylist for 45yrs, I know quality when I see and experience it. Thank you Brickhouse in Elk Grove for being the beautiful people you all are. I am very bless to be apart of this family.

    We went out for girls night here and had a good time! I felt…read morethat they were pretty handicap accessible, had big portions, with a good wine and beer list. The noise was a bit loud and the decor seemed a little dated. Overall the pros outweigh these, the service was solid, and we had a fun! 1. Parking Parking lot with 2 handicap spots. Also easy walkway from the handicap spots into the restaurant. Easy to pull into from the street if coming from 99. I would suggest not trying to back out to the street when leaving however and instead we went through the parking lot, made a left at the ally and from there make a turn from the stop sign at Main Street. 2. Menu: Every thing we ordered was delicious. They had a large wine and beer menu. The blonde beer was ice cold and light for a summer drink. The house red was pretty mellow and very full bodied. The Sauvignon Blanc wasn't too sweet and had a hint of vanilla. The portion sizes of the meals were huge. None of could finish our plates! The bread is extra at 6 dollars, but worth it mainly due to the garlic/chive butter with it. We also ordered the fried zucchini as an appetizer - it was hot and crispy. The zucchini and breading were not soggy at all, and the breading stuck perfectly (these are common issues I've had at other places with fried zucchini) The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was incredibly tender. My friend pointed out that this was a very large piece a bit on the thinner side- they may have pounded it out to tenderize it is our guess. The farmer special was our favorite. It was a braised short rib and you could order it with pasta however we did it with the polenta. It was so very tender and savory. Came with a lot of polenta and it was very cheesy with Parmesan. The linguine and clams had both shelled and unshelled clams. I felt that there could have been more meat for the clam to pasta ratio. It was full of garlic and the cream sauce was zesty. 3. Atmosphere: It's a decent sized building, with a nice big bar in the front a smaller room to the left and a larger room in the back. There was plenty of seating for if you needed to wait. The walkways were wide and it was easy to move around, so no issues using a walker here and I would guess a wheelchair should be fine. The backroom had big booth seats, and would probably be good for large groups and families. The decor seemed a little dated and there was a jukebox in the smaller room, which although we were seated in the back was very loud and at the beginning of our experience it was hard to hear each other and was distracting. During this time the music kept switching songs every 10 to 30 seconds. I inquired why, and every Tuesday night they do "Music Bingo". So that could be a plus for some people, who want a more laid back atmosphere and enjoy a community game! The people in the front of the restaurant seemed to really enjoy it! However I would say if you are planning a quiet evening out or a first time date, you may want to come any other night but Tuesday. 4. Service: All our food and drinks come out in an appropriate time. Drinks were cold and food was hot! Our server made sure we had everything we needed and the manager even come by to check on us. I do love the brick building and how it's on old Elk Grove. We will be back!

    This is a fair review…read more Mimi's is definitely a cozy spot with excellent staff, but quality can be hit or miss. I've been dining at Mimi's Cafe for many years, and while it still holds a lot of cozy charm, it's definitely a mixed bag now vs. 15-20 yrs ago. It was 5 stars back then. The Positives... *Friendly Staff: The service here is consistently warm, welcoming, and accommodating. *Cozy Ambience: The restaurant provides a great, comfortable atmosphere that is particularly relaxing and ideal for older adults. Tbh I have an old soul with some social anxiety. So Mimi's became an instant fav in my 20s for the ambience alone. *Great Brunch Selections: The menu offers a fantastic variety that is perfect for breakfast or brunch. It's truly all about the brunch at Mimi's! I don't think they could ever mess up a pancake, waffle, or French toast. *The muffins: Their muffins are unbeatable! So delicious and fresh. The Downsides... *Bland Flavors: Certain classic menu items have become a bit bland and lack the rich, robust taste they had 15 to 20 years ago. *High Price Point: For the quality you receive, the prices feels a bit too high. Plus they have done away with the free bread and carrot cake baskets. Although I believe they may still give you free bread, but you'll have to ask. *Timing Affects Quality: The timing of your order matters immensely. If you order a breakfast item during evening hours, parts of it might arrive tasting old, hard, and reheated. Recommendation:It remains a wonderful place for breakfast and brunch.

We tried to go to Cattleman's for lunch and discovered they don't open till 4pm. So, we decided on Mimi's on the other side of the parking lot.

Trio: Chips were terribly stale, artichoke dip looked old, old, old and tasted old too. Quesadilla lacked flavor. The wings were just okay. French pot roast- Over sauces so you can't taste anything else. Half Chicken- was so old and zero flavor. I was surprised they were not embarrassed to serve us that meal. The soda was completely FLAT. We tipped the server his 20%, not his fault the food was horrid. We will never return. They might be great at just breakfast, I don't know. We took the French pot roast home, rinsed off the sauce and fed it to our dog.

    Ok, my co-worker kept telling me how good the deep fried strawberry French toast is, so of course,…read morethat's what I ordered. Served with eggs and choice of meat; I got the sausage links. Oh my, the French toast is a huge portion and beautifully presented with a side of whipped cream and strawberry compote on top. It's not as sweet as it looks (perfect for my taste) and the toast had crispy edges. Sausage was good but needed to be cooked just a bit longer, so you get that snap when you bite it. Scrambled eggs were good too. My husband got the chorizo burrito with tater tots on the side. He liked the burrito but said it did have little kick to it. The tots were fried to perfection and not oily. My brother ordered the "Dad's Mash Up," all kinds of stuff (breakfast meats and cheese) served on top of tots and covered in gravy. It was a pile of food, no complaints from my bro. Service was great and welcoming as soon as we walked in. No wait on a Wednesday morning, but I imagine there is on the weekends. I let our server know it was my brother's birthday, and after we were finishing up our meals, they brought him a complimentary small plate of the strawberry French toast! That was a fantastic way to end his celebratory breakfast. My only complaint, which is more of a suggestion, is to have flavored cream available besides half and half. The coffee is strong and delicious and our cups were never empty. Thank you, Jamie and staff, for a wonderful and yummy first visit. We'll be back!

    Wait Time: 15 minutes (Sunday brunch)…read more Parking: Free with plenty of spaces in the shopping complex. Restroom: Bright and clean. Ambience: The space feels somewhat unfinished. Much of the interior consists of plain, single-color walls without much décor, giving it a blank and somewhat incomplete feel. Service: Friendly but slow and somewhat disorganized. * At check-in, the host added my name (Lin) to the waitlist and said I would receive a text when my table was ready. However, the notification arrived under a different name (Nancy), so I had to double-check whether the table was actually for us. * Our server was pleasant, but service felt scattered. She stopped by to check on us, but before we could respond, she walked over to another table and continued a conversation there. When she returned, she said she would bring water, even though we were already ready to order. It took a while for the water to arrive. * Later, we requested a water refill, which she acknowledged, but it appeared to be forgotten. The refill only came when we were getting ready to leave, at which point she apologized. Although it was a Sunday brunch service, the restaurant did not seem busy enough to fully explain the level of disorganization. Food: Breakfast is available all day. I recommend the Eggs Benedict (weekends only), which comes in several varieties: A. Bacon, spinach, and tomato Benedict B. Traditional ham Benedict C. Cali Benedict with avocado, tomatoes, and arugula D. Smoked Salmon Benedict The Club Sandwich also comes with a generous portion size. A nice convenience is that the restaurant allows split bills, and guests can pay individually through the Toast app.

Came in with my family (party of 4) on a Sunday morning around 11am expecting it to be busy, which it was. We were told it was a 15 minute wait - no problem. After getting seated, by the hostess, it took 5 minutes for a server to come by touch our table, no waters, no name or introduction, just a simple "I'll be right with you guys." We were seated in the outside patio, no music, just quiet enough to hear every tables conversation. After taking our order, we asked for waters, which was dropped off to us almost 20 minutes later. After waiting almost 40 minutes, I got up and went inside to check the status of our order. I was told they were working on it and should be out in 5 mins. Food never came out after waiting almost an hour after being seated, so we decided to leave. I kindly told our waitress that we were leaving and asked if it was possible to speak with a manager in which I was told "we don't have a manager. The owner is here, but I doubt he will come talk to you right now since he is really busy." I'm all for supporting small businesses and I understand that coming in for Sunday brunch - it's going to be busy. But this was by far the worst "dining" experience ever. We will not be returning to this restaurant and neither should you. To make matters worse, the couple next to us also got up and left when we did due to the horrible customer service. Ran into the couple outside who told us that they left because they were too hungry to continue waiting and that the service was SLOW! Again, do yourself and your family a favor and DO NOT waste your time here! I would give 0 stars if I could.

    We dined at Original Mike's Diner on a Thursday evening to take advantage of their senior night…read morespecial, where regular menu items (excluding steak and the senior menu) are 50% off from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM when you order a beverage. It's a great deal and made it easy to justify trying one of their signature comfort-food plates. Here's what I got: 4pc Broaster Chicken The Broaster chicken dinner was the standout and easily my favorite part of the dinner. The four-piece meal is regularly priced at $19.99 and comes with a choice of side, plus garlic toast or cornbread, along with a salad. The chicken arrived golden, crispy, and exactly how broasted chicken should be--moist inside with a crunchy exterior that tasted fresh, not greasy. I chose the mashed potatoes as my side and they were creamy with chunks of potato whipped within. They were topped with country gravy, turning these spuds into full-on comfort food. The cornbread was a large, satisfying portion; the whipped butter and honey on top rounded it out nicely and made it feel like a classic diner treat. Vegetable and Salad The vegetable side was the one miss on the plate. The zucchini, broccoli, squash and carrots seemed to be steamed and were noticeably overcooked and sitting in water, which made them soggy. The side salad, on the other hand, was solid. I opted for blue cheese dressing, which tasted like it was made in-house and added a lot of flavor. There were a few pieces of lettuce with brown edges that I just removed, but overall the salad was fresh enough and a nice way to start the meal. Service was friendly from the moment we walked in. We were greeted right away, offered a choice of a booth or table, and seated quickly, even though it was senior night and the discount window can draw a crowd. The interior looks and feels like a classic diner: red accents, country-style decor on the walls, a TV with the news playing, and a front counter where you pay as you leave. Near the entrance there's a pie case showing off their desserts--in particular, an apple pie that looked very tempting and is on my list to try next time. Overall, Original Mike's Diner delivers satisfying diner food, warm service, and a straightforward, old-school atmosphere, with the Broaster chicken and sides carrying the experience. The overcooked veggies keep it from being a perfect visit, but the generous senior discount and friendly staff make this an easy 4-star spot I'm happy to return to--especially on Thursday nights. Simply Wonderful!!
