This place is a classic staple. Really only been here for brunch/breakfast. But their food is very tasty.

Went here despite the bad reviews, well - tried to go here. When we arrived, every patron stared at me and my girlfriend as if they were puppies behind the glass, hoping to be saved. We stood around in the entryway for awhile, noticing a weird vibe, until eventually a bewildered looking employee informed us that they weren't serving food. He seemed surprised that we were there. Keep in mind, this was 6 pm on a Friday. A very red-faced woman was behind the bar, flustered and looking like she was ready for a year-long vacation.It's kind of a difficult area to get food in, and this place seemed like a middle-of-the-road pub, not too expensive either, perfect for what we wanted. Unfortunately we were disappointed, and it seems like you probably will be too. The management is getting their backs up in the responses to these Google reviews, which is very telling of the quality of their customer service.

i have been coming here for a long time and i always enjoy my meal. i ate here this week and the food was off. the fries were over done, the coleslaw was too salty and the burger was try and tasteless. when we sat down the waitress said the chef had to leave and she wasn't there, so of coarse i said well do you know when she is coming back.........lol, the waitress said about 1/2 an hour. normally i wouldn't mind but it was 3:30 and i hadn't eaten all day. i know times are tough but i will rethink my return visit

We were a walk-by looking for craft beer and basic pub food. We weren't disappointed! Good and fast service, even though the cook was busy with multiple fish'n'chips take out orders (it was Friday). Great burgers too. The back of resto a little dark, at front by windows would be better choice of seating. We'll be back.

Great food. Decent selection, nice atmosphere. Only note,(Patio had weird curtains that blew in on us from the winds, so we had to move).

We decided to go here as we wanted to support the local businesses in our community since they’ve been under such strain but had the worst experience! From the moment we showed up and asked to be seated the server was not welcoming at all. He sat at a table that was dirty, took forever to come over to take our order then when we finally got the food it was burned so much we had to send it back. The only thing we could think of for the treatment is that we don’t look like the usual clientele. But no shade, we won’t be going there again!

Honestly, I was sceptical going in, but I'm really glad we stopped here for lunch. It's rare in Toronto these days to find a proper neighbourhood pub. Not a place that serves 20 pages of drinks and small plates, but a real pub that does simple food well. That's what Sarah's is. A down-to-earth place that does its menu well without any nonsense. A place where you can go and relax and grab a good meal. The fries are perfect.

I love pubs and it's a bit hard to imagine enjoying one with the current circumstances.but this place blew me away, went in hoping to just get a coffee and a soup (due to it being a Cafe/bar) and I'm leaving with the hopes to come back over and over and try their full menu.I got a poutine and it wasnt your standard drowned in gravy and cheese fair that other poutine specific places tout as poutine the fries were crispy and fresh and it was a very decet portion, my partner got a burger and it looked fantastic with fresh ingredients and an actual thought put into it, not like your standard pub.Things are tough and I'm surprised with the level of quality in the place, the cook deserves all the money and I'm excited for my next visit.

I waited an hour and a half for vegan rice and vegetables. None of our meals came. The server said they were short staffed. Then my order came with cheese. I'm vegan and had to ask them to redo it. They tried to scrape off the cheese and give it back to me. I left and never went back. Previously, I have eaten at this restaurant and it tasted bland and sad.

The food and beverage selection is fantastic. Food is always great. A relaxing vibe, its not fast food - the servers take their time.
I've been going to Sarah's since for about 20 years! Now my adult boys go there! My favourite - Eggs Benny or Florentine. The hollandaise sauce is unbeatable! Server - Milica - always delights - just LOVE her!

Service is terrible here. We used to eat here but every time we go we get such a frosty reception and a long wait we end up leaving.

Fries are amazing - skinny and crisp and made from real potatoes. Very salty, so be aware! (I found them super yum!)

A lovely spot to grab a bite to eat in the neighborhood or have a drink. They have a very nice selection of beer on tap, if you like that. The servers are helpful in describing the various drinks available and will sometimes give customers a small sample to try. As for the food, I would recommend brunch or a burger with fries and salad..I also enjoy their appetizer plate to snack on when I am unsure what I want to eat.

Server was very friendly. Beer list was decent. Burgers were pretty good. I'd go back for sure.
