I love Sara’s restaurant. Now to be fair I’ve only ever gotten ice cream here I only get their soft serve chocolate and vanilla twist cone with twinkle coat or I’ll get their orange and vanilla twist cone with sprinkles. But every season you come here there are new faces but they always do a wonderful job so they are well trained and they’re very friendly and fast as well.
This place also has a very unique decorating style it’s like a ’50s diner but with a bunch of other stuff thrown in from probably everywhere. I think this is a pretty unique location and the ice cream is cheap so it’s worth it to stop by just to see how this place is decorated and how quick the surface is.

The hotdogs naked are fabulous but the chili is odd. It’s definitely not what you expect for flavor for chili. However the not necessarily a bad thing but my kids wouldn’t eat their meal because of it.
The burgers reminded me of a meatloaf in its texture; and flavor a bit. The up charge for the milkshake is worth it but it’s a soft serve ice-cream not hand dipped.
It’s definitely worth trying especially for the vibe it gives and proximity to amusement park and beaches. It’s not cheap it cost 70+ dollars for 2 adults and 3 kids. So if you’re on a budget maybe only get shakes. Also kids meal fry portion is the same as an adults meal portion .

Loved this American classic type of diner. Everything was wonderful except no real inside seating and it was windy, cold, and uncomfortable outside. But again this place was super cool everything about it and around it took me way back on a wonderful memory journey. The chocolate sunday was great and the burger patty was thick and good.

Visiting from out of town and stopped in for lunch, great nostalgic diner, good food and reasonable prices. It was a warm day when we stopped in so there were a lot of people eating also. Staff kept up on cleanliness for how busy it was. Would recommend if you are in the area.

It’s an old time charm kind of place. Fast food at reasonable prices. Great for after the beach or park. Very touristy spot.
One thing that was confusing is the separate lines for pick up. If you and your party order different types of food then you will need to find your line.

Crowded. Chaotic ordering. I ordered a turkey burger and got a grilled chicken sandwich. Fries weren’t hot and no seasoning. Children were walking ON the table tops outside.

I’d come here for the milkshake because that was the only thing that was good. The strawberry milkshake was made with real strawberries. The cheeseburger and smith hot dog with chili and curly fries were average at best.

No doubt, this is touristy pricing. And the parking is a little confusing. I accidently parked in the business directly before Sara’s and it was tricky to get out. Directions into the drive through are very clear but regular parking was not. We went around 11:30am on a Thursday and had no problem finding a seat outside. The clientele was a mixture of folks stopping in from work, and families there on vacation. The ordering system was pretty organized and they had several condiment stations to keep it from getting crowded. It wasn’t terribly busy, and its probably a different story when it is. The food wasn’t spectacular, but we got the basic hot dog, fries, and onion rings. So glad we checked this place out while here.

This is such a fun place to visit. The food is tasty but nothing crazy. It’s the old school, fun, eclectic vibe the place has. Plenty of seating outdoors and you can listen to laughs and screams from Waldameer.

In general, the restaurant isn’t a bad place to eat. The real problem is that they don’t know how to handle so many people. The day I was there, they ran out of cones for ice cream. That’s totally unheard of in the middle of summer. Parking is a terrible mess, and trying to get in and out was really rough due to the amount of traffic coming into the park. Unless you’re really desperate for food, I suggest eating somewhere else if it’s a super busy day. If you visit on a day that’s not busy, no doubt you’ll enjoy your ice cream and food.
I thought the prices were extremely high for the quality of food that you’re getting, but as I said before, she got a day. It’s not busy, but it might seem worth it.
