Kids portions were big. The BLT and potato salad were delicious! Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend.
Can't say enough about this place... if i lived in Citrus Springs I would eat here A LOT! The WINGS are worth it by them selves. Spaghetti is HUGE.. Salads are HUGE.. Bathrooms CLEAN.. And the staff and service were quick, smart, and personable. Parking lot could use some work..that's about it. ;-)
Relaxing atmosphere. Excellent service, enough attention but not too much. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Food is great, a little pricey. We will go back.
My husband and I ate there for breakfast and the food was so good. Highly recommend checking it out. Family friendly environment! The owner Sarah was so sweet and stopped at every table to make sure everything was good. Will be going back to try the lunch menu.
Delicious food, fabulous service, clean and homey feel. We love this place l! And they just opened for dinners (till 8 on Thur, Fri, Sat) This is a chicken poke bowl. OUTSTANDING
We had a great visit the day before hurricane Milton arrived. Had little idea of what was good in the area, but were so happy we found Sarah J's. We were in town evacuating from the Tampa area, and needed some soft of comfort food. Arrived a half hour or so late for breakfast, but they were awesome and let us order still. The pancakes were huge, and filled with chocolate chips. The caramel macchiato was served beautifully and was delicious too. They have a nice collection of cute mugs for the coffee creations. Highly recommended if you haven't been, we were very pleasantly surprised.
I had a great experience ordering to go, they were so nice over the phone taking my order , and being very patient. When I got there to get my food John was very respectful and super kind, letting me know my food was almost ready & then they held the door for me and offered to carry the door for me also. & the food was amazing. Thank you both John and the rest of the crew in there for a great experience
The new menu is so awesome! I love the shrimp poke bowl! The food was delicious and this spacious and relaxing restaurant is the best in town!
Just finished a great dinner at Sarah Js... we enjoyed the BLT and French Dip with fries... really satisfying! Delicious bread, in Florida?!? No way... Yes!!! The French Dip bun was perfect, and the sourdough on BLT was great. Our server (Kellie?) was great, and the chef came to ask how the food was. Great food and service, super easy location. If you need a "real" restaurant for your "Go To" list, add Sarah J's. We are looking forward to our next visit. Cool option for paying check via QR code on check.

The new menu is amazing, adding poke bowls, new options for pasta, pulled pork/Mac n cheese bow amongst a whole plethora of other options. Chef David really puts a whole Lotta love into the food. Chef David comes out to greet customers, and check how everything is with a smile 😃. Our server Kaylee is the best and I mean it. Never have I ever had another be on top of the job like her.
