This place has been recommended to me by friends for YEARS. After coming across their instagram and seeing how good the food looked we decided to give it a try. Needless to say i was CATFISHED!!! We walked in the door and instead of a “hi! Welcome in! Can you please step to the side?” We were immediately greeted with a loud yell telling us to move out of the way from the door. This was my boyfriend and i’s first time here. The place was PACKED. we were very surprised with the zero space to eat/order & were already contemplating on leaving. Not everyone goes to your restaurant…maybe have some grace for customers walking through your door. After putting in our order and paying, the cashier tells us that the wait was 30-35 minutes. If we had known this before paying we would not have ate here. Yes, we realized it was busy but you should probably tell customers the wait time before they pay just in case they are in a hurry. Anyways, The Brussels sprouts were BOMB best I’ve ever had, i will give them that. But the chipotle honey sandwich i got was far from good. I had to take apart the sandwich because of how tall it was, and the chipotle sauce was hardly even there. It was just honey chicken at that point. The fries were mediocre. My boyfriend got the jalapeño popper philly and said there was way too much sauce and the bread was soggy and falling apart. We will not be back. So disappointing after hearing about how good this place was.

My husband and I tried Sauced by Alfaro for the first time tonight, and we were treated to a truly exceptional meal! This place is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, with a cozy indoor atmosphere and a lovely, sunny patio shared by the wine bar next door. The lovely lady that took our order explained that our food would be about 50 minutes, but that they'd call us when it was being boxed up-- and she even recommended a couple places we could go snag a good drink while we waited.

The food was so, SO worth the wait! My husband enjoyed their Nashville hot chicken sandwich-- which (in my opinion) didn't lean solely on its spiciness, but instead had a balanced, succulent flavor with a very manageable heat. I had the featured dish, a jalapeno popper philly cheesesteak. This was, without a doubt, one of the single best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. My one complaint is that it isn't a fixture on the menu, because this is one I'd absolutely come back for time and time again!

Many thanks to Chef Alfaro and the team at Sauced for an incredible meal and a wonderful experience! We will be back soon!

We arrived to the restaurant at 3:50pm Sat down at our table. There wasn’t many people in the restaurant when we arrived but after we sat down they got busy. Several people after us were getting their food. We asked at 4:25pm if our order was about ready. The worker says let me see what your eta was that you were given( we were not told a time just was asked for our phone number so they could text us if we stepped outside) She then says your eta was 4:20pm had we known that from the beginning we would’ve left and grabbed Runza. Our food comes out at 4:33pm I immediately ask for a to go box and the same rude worker says oh I’ll bring you one as your wrapping up. Ummmmm I am wrapping up. I have to go to work. Which is why we asked how much longer our food was gonna be. We did not know this would take so long for service. The chicken on the other hand is delicious. I did get 2 bites before clocking in for work. Based on the service we won’t be back though.

My husband and I just tried Sauced tonight for the first time and loved it!! My husband got the adult chicken nuggets and I got the steakhouse burger. The wait was an hour for food BUT it was so worth it. They were right on target with their wait time and the food was hot and fresh. We will definitely be visiting here again and we recommend it to everyone! I’m bummed it’s taken me this long to give it a try!

Food was excellent, Nashville Hot Chicken was great, right amount of spiciness. The employees were super nice and helpful. Great thing that they deliver to the wine bar next door. Will definitely come again and bring family as well.

WOW wow..wow..WOW!!!! Did I say WOW?!?
This is another place I would DEFINITELY give more than 5 stars if I could!! 🌟 🤩 😋🤑
They need to add the Shrimp taco, Asian cheese steak and French dip to the list to check on here..Listen, the food here sends you to a happy satisfying place for real. The menu on the website will have you drooling on ya phone and to actually get to eat it HONeeeey child let me tell you!
I only been once do far (hell yeah I'm going back..duh! 😂) I got to try multiple dishes due to this was a night our with some of my Gal Pals and yes it's the same night as my Twisted Vine and The Rusty Nail review night.
The restaurant is quite small, seating only 12- maybe 15 inside BUT WHO CARES!! The food is 🔥fire 🔥 and there's seating outside in the back and check it..you can go next door to Twisted Vine enjoy wine and/or drinks great company and Sauced staff will bring your food over to you!! Staff at Sauced is friendly and personable pricing is very reasonable. Highly Recommend Sauced by Alfaro. Ahhh this review isn't through my profile so I can't add my pics 😬🤨 I will definitely get into my profile to add them for ya'll!

Finally got around to trying it after reading countless rave reviews & it met the hype. Huge portions and the flavors were great. Will definitely be a regular in the rotation.

This is such a great little spot. I can count on their food to be delicious every time. It’s always worth any little wait and the counter help is always pleasant and quick to make sure we’re taken care of. I’ve had chef Alfaro’s food on several occasions going back to her Louisville, NE days. Add to this that she often posts about helping others in the community and I’m a fan and will continue to support Sauced.

We had the cauliflower bites appetizer. Scrumptious! The hot honey sandwich was my choice and a perfect balance of sweet and kick. The Nashville hot is what my fiancé got. Super delicious as well. Glad we finally got to try it!

Today I arrived a little early before they opened. The staff was SO nice. They opened up a bit early and every person there gave me the warmest, most friendly greetings. Top notch, absolutely exemplary service!

And the food. WOW. Let me tell you. It legitimately just does not get any better. I had the salted caramel whiskey chicken sandwich and it was hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten! I have also heard from several people that their soup is the best they have ever had. There's a reason people go absolutely crazy for this place!

A Google review truly doesn't do their food justice. You HAVE to try this place for yourself!
