Sara’s Southern Kitchen was such a pleasant surprise. I ordered the corned beef hash and let me tell you, it was everything. Big, tender pieces of corned beef mixed with potatoes and peppers, topped with a perfectly poached egg. Every bite was so savory.
My husband went for the meat lovers omelet and he tore it up. It was packed with meat and full of flavor, no skimping at all.
The staff was super friendly, the kind of people who make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. And the atmosphere was really nice and welcoming. Overall, a great spot that we’ll definitely be back to.

This is not the cheapest breakfast that you will ever find, nor is it the most expensive, but it absolutely is one of the very best. The staff is caring and attentive, the portions are 50’s and 60’s era kind of generous, and I have never found anything I ordered here to be cooked less than perfectly.
Not flashy, just real down-home Country goodness.

My recent brunch experience here had its highs and lows. Initially, the host seemed a bit indifferent, calling out waiting parties’ names so softly that it was nearly impossible to hear. However, once seated, our waiter was a delight – exceptionally friendly and accommodating, which helped improve the overall atmosphere.
Although the patio boasted a charming ambiance, the absence of heaters left us shivering throughout our meal, somewhat diminishing the enjoyment. It was disappointing to have such a lovely setting compromised by the lack of temperature control.
Regarding the food, it was decent overall. While everything tasted good, my hamburger had an odd texture that was somewhat off-putting. It’s always a shame when one dish doesn’t quite hit the mark, especially in an otherwise enjoyable meal.
In summary, Southern Kitchen Los Gatos offers both positives and negatives. While the friendly service from our waiter and the pleasant patio ambiance were highlights, there were drawbacks such as poor communication from the host and inadequate heating. If you’re willing to overlook these flaws in favor of decent food and enjoyable service, it might be worth a try. However, if these aspects are essential to your dining experience, you may want to explore other brunch options in the area.

Breakfast at this spot was absolutely fantastic! The food arrived in no time and was delicious, and the friendly staff made us feel right at home. I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming atmosphere to start the day!

Wow what an absolutely incredible brunch. The Bloody Mary and Irish Coffee were both awesome. The Irish Benedict had real corned beef that was absolutely delicious and tender. Pancakes were awesome and the shrimp and grits were addicting. Friendly staff made this one of the most enjoyable meals in a long time. Will absolutely be back soon.

Disappointing experience. Took awhile to get service. It was full but not packed. Server was friendly but we had to ask for more water. Didn’t check in with us.
Was looking forward to enjoying the Fried chicken. Ordered dark meat. One piece was very dry. And both had very little meat. It was mostly fried skin. Not great quality. Salads were fine. Prefer homemade dressings to bottled.
Perhaps the other items are better.

After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try.
This is small restaurant so you need to wait on weekends. It was said to be 35-40 minutes but in fact it was only about 20 minutes.
The fried chicken is delicious, but the waffle is a bit dry, and the gravy temperature is too low, giving it a cold texture.
We were sitting on the street, with people coming and going, and someone was standing behind me, I feel weird so I can’t enjoy my food .

The name of the restaurant is a selling point The restaurant serves a decent portion of every plate. I think that it is nice for a person who just did hiking. Chamomile tea is the icing on the cake for me. Please DO check the 7 seconds video attached. It sounds everyone is enjoying their meal here Have a wonderful weekend. Recommend.

This iconic Los Gatos coffee shop has been serving classic American fare for nearly 30 years. Now owned by a former employee, the food seems as good — if not better — than ever.
The extensive breakfast menu has all the classics (eggs, omelettes, French toast, pancakes, etc.) plus several Southern style specialty items (chicken fried waffles, shrimp and grits). Ditto for lunch, which includes everything from sandwiches and burgers to salads and fried chicken. They also serve weekend brunch but they’re not open for dinner.
I met three friends for breakfast and we were lucky enough to grab one of the few outdoor tables for four. Unfortunately, it was on the narrow sidewalk instead of the new “parklet” out front so it felt a bit cramped, especially when people were walking by or gathering at the door.
My Belgian waffle was cooked just right. When topped with a generous cup of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple (included) and a bit of syrup, it tasted great. I wish I’d told them to make my side order of bacon extra crispy, because it seemed a bit undercooked. My friends ordered a mushroom omelette with hash browns and toast, traditional Mexican Huevos Rancheros, and a taco salad (from the lunch menu), and everyone said that they enjoyed their meals.
Service was friendly but responsiveness was average at best. The bill for four came to just over $100 including tax, tip, and a 3% credit card surcharge. With the exception of the limp bacon (ten bucks for four slices!) I think that our meals were a good value for the quantity and quality of food.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and great menu to choose from. We came around lunch time and decided to try the brunch menu. We tried the roasted beet and goat cheese salad, a fresh biscuit and the chicken fried waffle. The chicken fried waffle is a twist on chicken and waffles and definitely not something you could whip up at home. It was unique and flavorful. I would recommend splitting this dish with some other people as it can be a lot of fried dough and sugar for one person. Everything that came out looked delicious. We will definitely be back and try the benedict and a scramble.
