Sassafras Restaurant & Ice Cream

When was the last time you went to Sassafras Restaurant, Huntington CT ? For us it had been a while. In fact, this welas the kids first time going! The food is good, the service was great, but the ice cream was the star. This Shelton staple will bring back a lot of memories for many. For better or worse, nothing has changed here since I can remember and that's going back decades. Except the ceiling tiles which were painted by the owner's kid during the pandemic. We recommend a visit! Details: Plenty of parking Clean bathrooms Accepts card Great local spot tucked away at the back lot of Huntington Center

Been going here for a while -- Have always enjoyed the food; however, I recently had a meal at Sassafras that gave me by far the worst food poisoning I've ever experienced and I can't bring myself to return again. I've looked the other way regarding their lack of care when it comes to food safety practice, so I guess I'm not entirely surprised at this happening. The food poisoning I received was from a chicken salad wrap I ordered -- The food came out in, not exaggerating, less than 30 seconds. Not sure if this was because it was just sitting around or something, or if the food poisoning came from some sort of cross-contamination, but I felt like it would be irresponsible of me not to leave this review considering how sick this made me. Sick enough that I'm not sure if my body would've bee

I opted to stay in Shelton, CT when I had some business in Stratford, CT. I searched for a suitable breakfast place on my return tip in order to get filled up with some good food and coffee. Turns out that Sassafras was pretty much right on my way home. It's definitely a quiet, unassuming place that's sort of hidden behind a gas station and in another weirdly concocted shopping complex. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and offered any open table in the place. It was about 15% full when I arrived at around 9:30 AM. The server, who was outside at the time of my arrival, came to my table a short time later and took my order. I just ordered something simple ... 2 eggs over medium, bacon, home fries and rye toast. Before my food arrived, I tried some of their coffee, which was quite good

This was my first visit to Sassafras. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. I felt like I was having breakfast at a friend’s house. I will definitely be back!
