Customer Reviews

"Amazing restaurant that's a little out of the way in Somerville. The staff couldn't be friendlier, and they are quick to recommend dining options. The French Onion soup and shrimp and scallops scampi were excellent. My kids liked the NY Strips and my pickier kid said his was perfectly cooked, medium rare. The owner even delivered the meals personally. And we had the pleasure of a Bill and Jodie Spadea, & Bob Williams sighting! We'll definitely be back."

"Note: I only review places where I had a 5 star experience Sara Jane's is a slice of Americana. There are many classic dishes that I have enjoyed. Their calamari is simply the best I have had . If I would recommend one thing it would be their burgers. I have been told that many places serve the best ones. Well that is actually true here . Great quality meat cooked to perfection. It's one of the few places I will go for them now. Cindy and Jimmy are amazing and will make you feel welcomed and happy :)"

"Quiet neighborhood place to grab a quick bite. Its a little too expensive for the food you get but great for a once in awhile place. Looked online at the menu and was shocked when the food was way more than the online menu. I mean a lot more, must be a menu from 10 years ago online."
