Sarah Brown's Comfort Food — Restaurant in Oak Bluffs

OMG!! As a Southerner and married to a Southern belle who KNOWS our SOUTHERN cuisines and signature dishes, we are ALWAYS cautious and reluctant when NORTHERNERS try to sell and cook our dishes we have come to love and esteem highly. But then came Sarah Brown’s who did everything from created an ambiance to giving us the red carpet, VIP treatment! And for them to be extremely cautious about our care while eating at their establishment during their 1st season of opening (4 weeks ago) and a major pandemic, let me just say, they came out fighting!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you make reservations (like my wife and I did) so that you can truly experience Sarah Brown’s ambiance in its totality, while during this pandemic! Getting take out is also excellent if you just can’t dine in! The food from the fried chicken to the collard greens to Mac &Cheese, and candied yams was extremely well cooked and served straight from the stove tops and oven! Even the cornbread gave me goose bumps because it tasted sooooo goooood!!! The peach cobbler.....to die for and a MUST HAVE... and that “Joy Juice”....let’s just say when added to some Crown Royal Apple, makes you wanna shout “Hallelujah!” I just felt the soul and the heart of the African American experience in every bite!

The customer service.....just as good as the food they served! Again, even though it is a pandemic and they were also serving people who did not have reservations, they still provided “that Southerner experience and hospitality” that you can only present when you are cooking and serving these kinds of foods! Sarah Brown’s, THANK YOU for your 5 star treatment to my wife and I and taking us back to our childhood memories of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers and bringing Florida and North Carolina to us! We are DEFINITELY coming back and telling our friends to see you all when they come in August!!! God bless you all as you continue your business during...

We were here visiting for the past week, and were encouraged to try Sarah Brown’s from several locals and friends. It was BEYOND our expectations!!!! Not only was the food delicious, it was piping hot when it was brought to our table. It did arrive in rounds (not more than 5 min apart), but they brought it out as it was coming out of the oven—-and it was worth it. They hard large servings and great side options. We went with the trifecta-collards, man n cheese, and candies yams. They did not disappoint. My husband and I are both from the South and grew up with awesome soul food. This food was reminiscent of my great grandmother’s from the cornbread to the collards to the perfectly seasoned fried chicken. Whatever you do, order the peach cobbler and thank me later!! The service was warm and personable and made our lunch immensely pleasant.

This is their first summer on MV as a brick and mortar, and I commend them for their level of service and care in the midst of a pandemic. This is their opening season, and they are coming out the gate swinging with the food, while also working under very limiting conditions with capacity of their restaurant. The inside is lovely, clean, and very modern, while the takeout window has a line outside (worthy reason of course 😋).

After a delightful day at the Vineyard it was our endeavor to have dinner and return to New York unscathed by the Pandemic. The most obvious place to conclude this fabulous Baecation with my husband was Sarah Brown's Comfort Food. From the pristine bar and booths, to the professionalism of the staff and owners, we knew we selected a winner!!! With the COVID-19 stringent policies in place at the door, proper PPE gear, and social distancing, we were ready for food to comfort or souls. Well they did not disappoint. From smothered turkey wings, mac and cheese and greens to yams, corn bread and Arnold Palmer we were stuffed, but i had to try the pan seared, brussel sprouts alive with garlic and butter!! These decadent, fresh and delicious dishes were perfectly portioned. With enough to even take some home, we weren't brilliant enough to just get the peach cobbler anyway. PLEASE TELL KEVIN, the owner, Esther and Walter of New...
