Loved everything about this place! Great food, prices, and atmosphere. The inside of the restaurant was tastefully decorated with a beach theme, clean, and offered a nice variety on their menu. Patio seating available as well with entertainment, water bowls for the pups, and beautiful potted fllowers lining the perimeter. The owner was kind and genuinely cared about the customer's experience! Highly recommend!

So. Went here as a second option. Lucky us !! Sarah's Kitchen is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the old food Lion plaza, they feature heated outdoor service and indoor. There was a liveusic event happening. Nice place. The food was awesome and very well priced. Attentive service personal. And parking is at a premium!! Five stars.

What an enjoyable breakfast. Come during a quiet time, as it is a small place, but you will love the coziness. I got the pancake combo, and it lives up to the price (7.95 for two huge plate-sized cakes) and comes with the sausage/bacon choice and eggs. The sausage is so good, has a little heat to it. Others who got the home fries combo and the grits also enjoyed it, and the server was great. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5

Breakfast was hot and very appetizing. Bacon, crispy potatoes cooked to perfection. Eggs were delicious and cooked to order. I would definitely recommend this small hometown diner-like restaurant. It will not disappoint.

I love Sarah's Kitchen - had breakfast and lunch there on two different days during a recent vacation to Ocean Isle Beach. The staff are so friendly and efficient, and the food was excellent. I look forward to going back here someday.

Good food, reasonable prices for a change of what places are asking for breakfast nowadays, wish the coffee was better, friendly locals type place, I would definitely go back, and then probably order tea, but anxious to order a different breakfast food again

My dog, Stella and I go to Sara's for Breakfast or lunch frequently. Their BLT is my fav. The wait staff are friendly and efficient. It is the kind of place that attracts laid-back patrons who are fine with a dog sitting next to them. I enjoy chatting with people I meet there. Usually there are one or two other dogs for Stella to meet and greet. The patio has a fun mural on the wall and is bordered by tropical plants on the outside. There is often a prevailing breeze from the southwest. When it gets really hot retreat inside for AC. No pups allowed per state regulations.
