Sarom’s Southern Kitchen

One wouldn’t expect to find classic Southern comfort food in Northern California, but Sarom’s Southern Kitchen exceeds most expectations. This dynamic home-style place has many of the deliciously greasy Southern dishes that people have come to love, from their Sarom’s special omelette filled with almost every kind breakfast meat to eggs with chicken-fried steak to chicken and waffles (which can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner).
