Oso T.

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.

Rich L.

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
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.

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.

Menu as of Oct 2025.

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.

Our order included chilaquiles with extra avocado, avocado toast, two Mexican mochas, and pan de muerto. With tax and tip, we paid $64.32, so this was not a cheap breakfast. We paid at 11:21 a.m. My husband did not receive his chilaquiles until 12:07 p.m., and my avocado toast arrived at 12:10 p.m. (49 minutes later). While I was still waiting, the waiter said, "I'll be back with your waffles," even though I had ordered avocado toast with no egg. The chilaquiles and Mexican mochas were good. However, the avocado toast had absolutely no flavor, and the potatoes had no seasoning. I only ate them because I had paid for them. I understand that restaurants get busy, but at a minimum, staff should check in, acknowledge the delay, and reassure customers that they haven't been forgotten. Instead, we waited nearly 50 minutes with very little communication. The long wait, order confusion, lack of communication, and bland food made the overall experience disappointing, especially at this price. If you decide to go to Xulo, hold off on tip until after you receive your food and see how the service actually is on that day. Don't make the same mistake I made. For excellent chilaquiles and service, just go to Blue Agave!

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.

It is situated in the quaint old small downtown of Elk Grove, and it has a really cool vibe even on the outside. Once inside, I wanted to try one of their coffees and one of their breakfast sandwiches, which I had heard were terrific. I had a large hot latte which was very satisfying. Their roast is robust without being bitter or overpowering. Not the strongest cup of coffee I have ever had, but very good nonetheless. If you prefer more kicked, then I would have them add an extra shot. Off of their Panini menu, I tried a grilled cheese sandwich that I added bacon to. All of the ingredients on the inside of the Panini were terrific, but the star of the show is thick cut sourdough bread. When toasted up as part of being a grilled cheese, it is crunchy and flavorful. A tremendous sandwich. I look forward to returning to try something else on the menu. This is strictly a breakfast and lunch place. They close at 2 PM, however, it is worth making the drive and trying Tule. By the way, the team behind the counter was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They all added to the experience.

I'm a big advocate on good matcha, and I love making my own as well as buying them. From the photos…read moreI've seen for Tule, it had a promising color to their matcha. That's the first thing I look at. Today I ordered: an iced oat matcha latte with light maple syrup. I get sweetener because if the matcha isn't good, then I'll be drinking sweet milk. Bacon breakfast sandwich and a chocolate banana bread. Location is in old Elk Grove, love the public parking next to the building. Small inside with seating and also has outdoor seating. It's a great place for people to meet up. Breakfast sandwich was good. Love the cheese pull. The banana bread was cold and stale. Only because they forgot about it (busy) and so they didn't warm it up and gave it to me as is. But it's ok. Matcha: Color: it was a good color. Not forest green but a nice green. Umami: none. It was ceremonial grade (as advertised) but a very weak matcha. Natural sweetness: none Balanced bitterness: towards the end of the drink, there's a hint of bitterness. Aftertaste: a hint of seaweed. Overall it's your everyday matcha. It was a good balance between matcha and oat milk. No flavor overpowering each other. And That's why I say it's a good everyday matcha. I'll always order a regular iced matcha latte because I prefer more matcha to dessert matcha .

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!!

Always super soft, moist, and full of flavor, just the way I like it. Definitely one of my favorite treats to pair with my matcha! Aside from the drinks and pastries, I really love the atmosphere here. The space is super spacious with high ceilings and a beautiful art wall that adds so much character to the place. It has such a nice, welcoming vibe whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or just want somewhere to sit and relax. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. I've had nothing but good experiences here, and it's definitely a spot I keep coming back to. Highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't already!

Seating: Indoor with AC…read more Parking: Free and plenty of space in the complex Vibe: Urban industrial feel with a large mural wall. It's noticeably smaller than their main Midtown location, but still comfortable. They offer a selection of snacks for purchase, including cookies (ube, pandan), muffins, burritos, and quiches. Quiches can be heated upon request. Popular drinks: "1987" (iced) and Vietnamese Hazelnut. I tried the 1987 drink. For my taste, it was a bit too creamy and on the sweeter side. Service: Quick and efficient. You can either use the self-serve station or order/pay directly at the counter.
