★★★★☆ 4.0 Teresa B. · Nov 2025

Stopped by to grab a bite to eat with my daughter. She got the firecracker burger which she liked. She said the taste was a bit off but who knows if it was a mixture of the toppings. I ordered the Asian stir fry with noodles vs brown rice and it was really good. I would have liked the noodles to have been cooked a bit more. Our waitress was really nice and she kept checking in on us. They have a great menu with many options. If I was in the area again, I wouldn't mind stopping by again. Atmosphere was nice, the booths looked comfy, the wooden chairs at the regular tables aren't comfortable but what wooden chairs are. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This was my second visit to Sassafras and I definitely had the same experience. I was here 3 years ago and remembered so made a point to return if I was back in the area. There is definitely a strong local following- employees were greeting regulars by name as they entered. The food is fantastic- I ordered a chicken sandwich not realizing it was a HOT sauce and our server quickly saw and had a new sandwich made for me. My friend ordered a fantastic salad. Definitely give this restaurant a try - it’s great! Our server was so friendly and helpful! We felt welcomed!

Really lovely lunch after a soak at the Carson Hot Springs. Fried Cheese Burger - with a great fried cheese skirt - with a half-pound turkey patty and excellent skin-on fries. They make their own ketchup, and I highly recommend it! The Cheesesteak was accompanied by all the veggies, which included mushrooms, and Thai slaw. Also had a mixed lemonade-iced tea, all homemade.

The food was just what I was looking for. It was creative, well prepared, and nicely portioned. I was in town on business and had a really nice meal by myself one evening. I had a Fondue Steak over Fries with Steamed Veggies and it was heavenly! The steak was a perfect medium rare, the fondue sauce was subtle and delicious with a nice hint of some funky blue cheese, the fries were crisp enough to handle being smothered, and the veggies were a perfect compliment to help me feel like I didnt just eat a gut bomb. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is great for large groups, or in my case a lone diner looking to hang out and eat a great meal. It was so good I took a client there for lunch the next day. The menu is diverse enough that you could probably eat there every week and not g

I came in for a to go order! And ordered the cold turkey sandwich with onion rings on the side. The onion rings were delicious! However, I ordered my sandwich on rye bread and it was missing bread from the bottom side and the bread was completely falling apart. Total fail on the sandwich and this seems like old bread. I'm not happy that I just paid for that. This is my first experience with coming here and my family comes here all the time because we go to shoe tree on Fridays… They typically order pizza or onion rings. I would not recommend this place based off of my experience.
