“ I had a really great experience here for lunch today. In full disclosure, we had planned to eat somewhere else but that place went out of business so we just popped in here. What a fortunate series of events. The waitress was really friendly and made us laugh. I had the fired chicken salad. You can see it came with a Parmesan crisp on the top that made it pretty unique. My friend said the burger was phenomenal-juicy and cooked to order. They had a wide variety of treats that looked amazing. I didn’t have any this visit but I get what everyone is raving about. Can’t wait to go back!! ”
“ We were visiting the area and was told by the staff of an adjacent restaurant to come here. We were grateful for the suggestion as the suggesting restaurant was not very welcoming. Thankfully, we felt the warmth of the environment at Sarah's on Central as we entered the door. Our server, Josh, was very nice. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed every bite. If you are visiting the area, please visit this downtown establishment. You will not be disappointed with the food or the service. ”
“ Fantastic little Brunch/Bakery place. The food was top-notch, and the service was excellent! Central is a wonderful street in Eureka! ”
“ My wife and I came with our 1 year old boy for an early birthday lunch for myself. I got the chicken and waffles as that is my absolute favorite meal and they did not disappoint! My wife really enjoyed her meal as well. Thank you for a great meal and good atmosphere! We will be back. ”
“ Friendly greeting when I sat down in this cozy restaurant. First time at this place and I ordered the Central Plate, 2 eggs, breakfast potatoes, 2 bacon strips or 2 sausage patties and 2 slices of toast. My order came out quickly and the food was hot. I ordered my eggs scrambled and I liked how they cooked them (see the picture), similar to an omelet. Not burnt or overcooked but very fluffy. The bacon has a smoked smell and taste. Forgive me for smelling the bacon but it smelled delicious. They cooked the potatoes perfectly, browned and not burnt. Rarely do I find this but they had blackberry jam, which I strongly prefer, as an option. Big serving of delicious food for a reasonable price. There’s plenty of street parking in front of the restaurant. I felt a little overlooked when the bartender helped with rolling silverware. Definitely will come back! ”
“ Sarah’s was a fun cute spot to stop and have lunch. The food was delicious and different. Love the breakfast or brunch options all day as well as sandwiches and salads. Service was great and attentive. It’s a little pricey but delicious food. ”
“ We stopped by Sarah’s On Central in Eureka to check out why they were crowned Best Brunch in West County, and let’s just say—this spot did not disappoint. (Find the poll on the West County Social facebook group) Here’s the best part—you don’t have to wait for Saturday or Sunday to indulge in the best brunch around. They’re serving up those brunch vibes Wednesday through Sunday! Since we were working (sigh), we didn’t get to enjoy one of their famous cocktails—but if you follow their socials, you already know their mimosa flights and over-the-top Bloody Marys are next level. (I was able to get a picture of their big Bloody Mary...omg) But back to the food—because WOW. Nathan ordered the Central Benny with fresh fruit, and I went full comfort mode with the Chicken Fried Steak, drenched in sausage gravy and served with breakfast potatoes, eggs, and toast. We sipped on a virgin Bloody Mary and an iced white chocolate latte. Perfection. This place is the real deal. Go ahead and bring a friend or two, get you some brunch, order the Ballpark Bloody Mary. You deserve it—even if it’s on a random Wednesday. ”
“ Love love LOVED this place! Our 15 year old said it was “cozy & cute” which we agree! The mimosa flight amazing! .. Central Benny, the breakfast bowl, & breakfast burger were delicious! .. & the pretzel bites were also demolished. Service was also fantastic! Highly recommend! ”
