I really wanted to like this place. The people were very nice and the price was fair. Unfortunately, three out of the four vegetables I got on a vegie plate were so salty that I couldn't eat them. Please understand that I am not a person that is sensitive to salt. I can't recall the last time a meal was so salty I had to discard it.

The food and service were really good.  We are becoming repeat customers as we can during lunch.  Too bad the restaurant is not open for dinner.

Sarris Cafe is a lovely little family owned business.  It's a meat and three with Greek flair!

Sarris is set up cafeteria style; you walk up and order your food.  Different specials are run daily.  The restaurant owners are tech savvy, and specials are posted every day on Facebook.

The folks who plated our food were incredibly warm and lovely.  They gave my dad an extra corn muffin when they saw he got beans and greens.  Can't do that without cornbread!

My mom and I both got vegetable plates.  We had squash casserole, Mac and cheese, yams, fried okra, mashed potatoes and gravy, and yeast rolls.  I know, I know - we went light on the vegetables.

Their squash casserole is talked up as their specialty, and it was very good.  Nice squash and onion flavor.  Mac had great cheddar flavor and wasn't overcooked.  Delicious, actually house-made yeast rolls.  And the fried okra, heavily breaded, has an awesome crunch!  Mashed potatoes were the weak link; I've had much better.  Yams were the perfect balance of cinnamon and sweetness, but without being overpowering.

My dad got the fried snapper with pinto beans and collards.  He liked it all.  My mom thought the pintos were too salty, but I just thought they had a nice meaty flavor.  Corn muffin was a little dry.  The fried snapper was crispy and not fishy at all!  Big win there.  We all agreed we'd return if we found ourselves in the neighborhood again.

No crowd and easy access but food was not good couldn't eat it. Had old taste like rewarmed, just not fresh. And the cake was made from box

I have loved this place for years! Delicious lunch every time. The fried snapper is phenomenal. I like to have veggie only meals too. The macaroni and cheese is some of the best in town. This is not a hipster, vegan, gluten free, craft beer place. Sarris is all about quality and consistency and damn good food.
