This place is awesome! Everything about this place is 5 star! In the 10 days we have been here we have been twice. Both were amazing!!! We have 1 more day tomorrow & we may eat here again because it was SO GOOD!!!
Our large group came in unannounced in between lunch and dinner. Our host greeted us and got us set up with two large table sections. Our host was great. The staff was nice and accommodating, seeing as though this was an impromptu lunch with some of our party coming directly from the airport. The atmosphere was definitely New Orleans with a Florida flair. They have some really cool light fixtures with nice decor. The food was AMAZING!!! We were in a large group, so we must have ordered 3/5ths of the menu. I only ordered the gumbo (which was delicious, by the way). Before I knew it, hot food was coming from every direction, and I tasted everything! The cheddar biscuits were the best I've ever had, and that jam should have poetry written about it. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. The shrimp was great. There was this Ceaser side salad that the person sitting across from me had, and it was the most photogenic salad I've ever seen. Lol, the food was so good that we applauded the chefs. I don't think anyone left there without a full belly. In short, Sassafras is a must try if you're in the Palm Beach area. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere were all great. I can't wait to go back.
Great place for a decent sized lobster! In order to get the lobster (not on the menu), you must make a reservation and request the lobster in advance. Comes with cheddar biscuits which were a hit! We also loved the wedge salad. However, we were not impressed with the gumbo. It was made with quality ingredients; but it lacked flavor. We also had cocktails and they were made to perfection! We had only good things to say about the drinks (margarita and the pumpkin espresso martini).
Every Bite was fantastic, seat was on the cooking line, so I was able to be talk and be apart of the kitchen which was super fun! Great food/atmosphere! Get out go eat!
This place is a real GEM! With my party of 16 we tried just about everything on the menu and listen nothing was a miss! Everything we ordered was so good! The star was most definitely the Fried Chicken with the Steak in a very close second! I also had multiple orders of Fried Green tomatoes!
