It's very rare you come across a place with a New Orleans style jazz atmosphere, good music and food with so much flavor!
I love the above tag line on this restaurant's business card - it sums up our experience on a recent Saturday night and I couldn't have said it any better. Sauce is a fun place to hang out with friends while enjoying flavors that I can't easily describe. I recommend you let your own taste buds do the deciding!
Dinner Plates are served with fried potatoes, coleslaw and a soft drink. Regular dinners are Y1,900 and the large dinners are Y2,700. Your dinner choices are BBQ Ribs, BBQ Ribs & Chicken, BBQ Ribs and Shrimp. The Sauce Special Dinner includes Cajun Crab Legs and Shrimp for Y5,000.
When you are eating with a group of 5 or more consider sharing the Sauce Deluxe Party Tray. For Y10,000 you get BBQ Ribs, Chicken, Fish, Shrimp, Fried Potatoes, Bread and Coleslaw. We had 6 in our party and we had leftovers. This is a generous "tray" of food with mouth-watering flavors. I am not usually a fan of coleslaw but Sauce knows how to whip up a great slaw for even the pickiest eater.
Side dishes are available as well and you can enjoy Hot Wings or Shrimp for Y700 and Greens or Corn for Y500.
Sauce's serves up some generously-sized tropical drinks as well. For Y1,000 you can choose from Sauce's Long Island Ice Tea, Tequila Sunrise, Amaretto Sour or their Original Margarita. Beer, wine and soft drinks are also available.
This is a great place to celebrate your birthday because showing your ID will get you a "free" birthday dinner - specifically one of the regular dinners.

Wow!! Where was this;between 1960 and 1977 when I lived on the island.My two daughters were born there and Jo,the youngest sends your site to me in Scotland where I have lived since then. Our Big Day out then was a visit to the A&W!!!!!! Ha!! Keep it up as it is a great read,
Glenn: It’s fun to have a fan in Scotland. My husband has roots in Scotland – our last name is Traquair and the House of Traquair is the oldest, inhabited house in Scotland. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told! A lot has changed in Okinawa since our first tour together in 1998 so I’m sure even more has changed since your tours. We are so blessed to have so many great restaurants to choose from now, especially since the hubs and I love to eat out!! We do still have A & W here and we still love their rootbeer floats. Their chicken is great too!! Thanks for your support – we really appreciate it!! And thanks, too, for your service!!!!
Candice – I didn’t notice anyone smoking inside but we got there right at 6p.m. and we were done by 7:30p.m. or so. We missed the late-night crowd! I would e-mail them at the address I included in the post and ask them. I think if you got there right when they opened, especially during the week, you probably wouldn’t have a problem. Keep me posted and let me know what they said!!! Also, I’d love to hear what you thought – let me know once you’ve visited them!!!
Larissa, My father (in Scotland) left the comment above. I love your site and like sending him your posts. Great stuff! Keep up the good work!
Cheers.

Jo – Thanks for your support!! We really appreciate it!!! I love your blog – who knew bacon ice cream could be so mouth-watering!!!! I’m posting your blog on my facebook – I have lots of friends that love to eat out and even more that love to cook and eat in!!!!!
My wife and I ate there last night for the first time. We’ve been here for five years, and I can’t believe that we haven’t tried Sauce before now. It was fantastic!
We both had the ribs and chicken dinner (regular size), and we were plenty full. I can’t imagine ordering the large. It was absolutely delicious, and the coleslaw was amazing too. I’m normally not a huge fan of coleslaw but this was really good.
My wife ordered a “Sweet Baby” cocktail, and it was very big. She said that it was quite good (rum, pineapple, and something else that she was unsure of).
Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends, and we will be back!
My husband and I went for the first time w/ some friends and thoroughly enjoyed everything. The service “waitress” was OK but the food definately made up for it in every way. We had the hot wings, greens, fried corn, slaw, ribs/shrimp dinners. Everything had a unique and flavorful taste! I can’t wait to go back when they have their outdoor jazz music set up. The atmosphere of the place also sets the mood. Before we knew it we’d been there over 3hrs! Great food, great friends to enjoy it with ~you can’t beat it!
I think next time we’ll try the Sauce delux party tray if going with another couple. Worth the money for delicious food!
Just noticed but they either have another one on 58 coming from foster before you get to Lester (on that same side as lester) or they moved? Just figured I’d throw it out there in case they closed the above location.
This restaurant has moved just south of Camp Foster on the east side of 58.
It’s on the NORTH side of Foster, right before Lester, on the same side of 58 as Lester.
