Sahara Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Wilna

2 stars ONLY because Sheri the waitress was fantastic! Up visiting and needed a place that could take 10 people without a 1.5-2 hour wait. Saraha was able to accommodate on short notice. Started out with flat, non-carbinated soda. Then the food started coming out...my granddaughter didn't get her honey dipped chicken until everyone else was nearly finished. It wasn't dipped and the breast and thigh were literally frozen in the middle. We brought it to the servers attention and she took it back to the kitchen and brought it back a minute later, lol. The same chicken, just microwaved...breast was still cold. Two people ordered meatballs as add-ons and they couldn't cut them - they literally used a steak knife and sawed it in half. Everything that was fried tasted like fish - chicken fingers...fish, French fries...fish, fish...fish. Two people ordered seafood alfredo...the alfredo was homemade and tasted good, but the seafood was not. Bit into a scallop and crunched sand - it wasn't cleaned, fish was slimy and mushy. They actually got sick and vomited once they got home. I don't understand how they have 4/5 stars. It was not a good food...

We stopped here to eat on our way home to Addison NY from ADK. I got Alfredo with steak and shrimp added, and my boyfriend got the Queen Prime Rib. EXCELLENT! This was the creamiest most yummy Alfredo i’ve ever had! Prime Rib was cooked to perfection. He asked for med/well, and it was exactly that. Salad and veggies in it were crispy and fresh, great tasting ranch dressing. Home made bread was yummy and soft. Our waitress was personable, attentive, and down to earth. Food was cooked very fast! Excellent...

My fiancés family is local to Carthage, and being from Atlanta, GA I had to stop by for the Prime Rib. Portion sizes are amazing and there is so much value between the drinks and the food. I was quite literally blown away.

The fast and friendly wait staff added to the small town charm of this hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and stop by The Sahara if you're...
