Great food and atmosphere. I eat here every other week as it is close to work. The food is always awesome. It is about the same price as eating at applebee's. I wish they would bring back thier french dip lucy.

We have lived in the area for 3 years, and have said "we have to try this place" at least once a week on our drive home. Trying to think of a place to take our adult kids to dinner, we decided to give it a try and we were NOT disappointed in ANY way. The ambiance and decor are... More

Eat here a couple of times a month. Haven't had a bad meal yet. Spaghetti is some of the best i have ever had. Carrot cake is a must.

Business lunch here today. Sports bar feel to it although Days of Our Lives was on the tv instead of sports. Salad was a healthy portion and fresh and tasted good. One had the meatloaf sandwich and said it was great. Good fast service and certainly an easy place to get in and out during a work lunch.

Have visited Sarna's 4 different times and still waiting for the perfect meal there. The food can be great, but the service is have been below average. Seems the wait help tends to be MIA as you have to flag someone down. On our visit last Friday, the service as awesome, but I think we were lucky to get a... More

This restaurant is very appealing visually. Both the outside and inside are very nice. I live about 4 miles away and this is one of my favorite places to eat. The salads are good, particularly the oriental chicken salad, and the chicken salad sandwich is also a good choice. They have crab legs on Wednesdays and on selected weekend days,... More

We went because we had a groupon coupon. I had never heard of it but am so glad I found this place. It is in an unusual place not near any major freeway but worth the drive. We were seated quickly on a Saturday night as they hold their bar tables for diners. Our server was fantastic. He was always... More

If you like excellent quality food, friendly service, and a place to enjoy time with friends this is the place. Nice background music, an inviting atmosphere where you can actually talk and have conversation. Locally owned and operated. Customer Service is of great importance to the owners. Witnessed this personally on my last visit and had the privilege and honor... More

I became aware of Sarna's through the Chamber of Commerce that I belong to and what a wonderful place it is. While it's in kind of a weird area, it is worth the side trip to get there. It is beautiful inside and the food is really amazing...try the Potpie! They have a menu that allows for anyone to find... More
