the food at this place unreal, like best chimichangas ive ever had in my life, but holy hell the vibe in there is something else like i dream about their burritos, but something about that place makes me feel like im losing my mind every time i go. like first of all, the chairs are too soft. not like cushion soft, more like.. flesh soft. i sat down and i swer the chair pulsed under me like a heartbeat. i had to shift around to make sure i wasnt sitting on a person. then the chips and salsa came out and the chips were warm, but not like from the fryer warm like theyve been sitting in someones pocket. the salsa is good but it had this way of moving on the spoon like it was alive, clinging to it like it didnt want to be eaten. the bathrooms are where it gets real bad. i walked in and every ssingle urinal had water that was pitch black, like ink. couldn't even see the bottom. when i flushed the lights flickered and i heard what sounded like a horse galloping down the hallway, but no one else reacted and i swear every single time ive been there, SAME GUY is sitting at the bar in a cowboy hat, not drinking, not eating, just staring at the mirror behind the bottles his reflection never lines up with him. like he tilts his head and the reflection tilts the other way.. enchiladas are pretyt good

Stopped in for dinner with some friends and we had a great experience. The atmosphere is great, our waiter Aiden P was probably the best waiter we’ve had in a very long time. He was funny, had great suggestions, super polite, and incredibly attentive. He hands down made our dinner out one of the funnest times we’ve had in while. We ordered the floutas with beef as an app and they were great. I ordered the carnitas which came with rice and beans and it was far more than I could eat and everything was delicious. Highly recommend!!

While I've eaten at Sagebrush several times, its been a few years. This trip, the food was better than I remembered. As with any good Mexican place, the meal started with chips/salsa. The salsa had a bit of a kick and was exceptional. I ordered the chicken ranchero. It was really good. The chicken was tender and the dish had very good flavor.

Excellent food and our waitress was on point. I ordered the super wet burrito with steak. It was cooked just right. The atmosphere was good as well. It has big screens if you are interested in watching sports but also has areas for more intimate dinners as well. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was because the food prices were a little high. Not to the extreme side but still on the higher side.

My new favorite Mexican place in town! Everything about this place was immaculate, from the service to the atmosphere, what really blew me away was the flavor and freshness of the food and drinks. The steak tacos were superb and you can’t ever go wrong with their margaritas! Our server, Fidel S. was exceptional and was so attentive, will definitely be back, 10/10!!

Super friendly waitress, sat us quickly and gave us excellent service, unfortunately as memorable as she is, her name faded, since I was traveling on the red eye, but I would make the trip back just to make her acquaintance again. This place have a really neat feel, priced right, since there was 4 of us and it was around $70 for the meal. I will definitely be revisting. Food was good, everyone enjoyed themselves.

Amazing taste. We are lucky to get seated in short time. This place gets busy faster.

Free chips and salsa right off the bat to munch on. I got the super burrito no lettuce or guac, added enchilada sauce and cheese for $2 to make it a wet burrito. Sooooo big and tasty! Good pricing. Kind and helpful staff. Clean restaurant. I will definitely be back when I'm in town!
