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.

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.

French toast side

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.

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

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.

Country Fried Steak

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.

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.

Thank you to my fellow Yelpers for another spot-on recommendation!!! I came here with a group of five ladies to try their lunch specials, and everything was fantastic. The customer service was superb! Each meal was unique and bursting with flavor. My girlfriends and I enjoyed the food so much, we couldn't stop telling the owners how fabulous it was!! Its a wonderful, family-run business, and we will definitely be returning very soon.

New York steak
Molly A.

Met a friend for breakfast today. She's been here before but it was my first visit. When you first walk in there is a desk with host and the dining room is to the right. It's a cozy place that feels very welcoming. We both ordered the New York steak. I had mine with an over easy egg, cheesy grits and a biscuit with country gravy. She had hers with scrambled eggs, country potatoes and biscuit & gravy. The food was really good. Steak was perfectly cooked (medium), the cheesy grits were delicious and so was the biscuits & gravy. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu items. Our server was also awesome. He checked on us often and made sure to top of our coffee.

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.

Omelet (forgot the name)
Ashley B.

A quaint place with hometown southern vibes. We got the fried catfish, gumbo with rice and an omelet and pancake. All thr food was amazing and full of flavor, they bring out your plates as they are ready which kind of makes it hard to eat together but thats minor compared to how amazing the food is. Big portions and flavor will keep you coming back.

Great food. Their shrimp grits and chicken and waffles are superb. Well worth the wait for a table. One of our all time favorite places.

What vegan options do they have and are their staff knowledgeable about what can be made vegan?

I called them and they said no :(

No they don't deliver.

YAYYYY! Welcome to Elk Grove, Sarom!!! Used to live by El Camino location..so happy to have one in EG now.…

Yes

How is the food compared to Stagecoach?

I've read the responses so far and I'd have to agree with them. The food is amazing! I've been to Stagecoach but since Sarom's has opened I haven't been back. I used to crave Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in LA but now I crave Sarom's chicken and… 

What are the hours?

I was told 7a-4p on weekends when we were there this morning. Didn't inquire weekday hours.

We normally come here for the ice cream, and it's definitely on the sweeter side for my preference, but it's fully loaded. Their ice cream is great for sharing unless you want to indulge on your own--they're massive and packed with toppings. It gets busy, especially in the evenings and when they're having fundraisers. That's the only thing I don't really like, so I try to come here when it's less busy. Overall, we've always had good service here, but I just don't like how crowded it can get.

Going here is nostalgic because this is where I would have hang outs during my school days, and there is also a distinct sweet smell when walking in. They have a few locations in the greater Sacramento area, but I've only been to the one in Elk Grove. They have many ice cream flavors and entrees to choose from. I usually get a cheeseburger, and sometimes I would get a turkey sandwich if I want to switch up. Their fries are well seasoned and perfect! I asked for a side of ranch this time because I was not feeling ketchup. I thought it would be free like other restaurants I've been to, but I didn't know it would be an additional cost of 99 cents. It's okay though because it was a good sauce. My friends and I shared the super clown sundae. It came out so fast after we placed the order. We got their pumpkin and caramel praline flavors. It paired very well with each other! Our server was friendly and came to check up on us a few times to ensure we have everything we need and to help clear the table.
