nice family run diner! great prices and food! friendly staff. kind of place you can eat at every week they know you and your supporting a local family while enjoying good food !
I love Sassafras. Every time I get a job in Shelton I automatically think Yes, Sassafras. I get their HamSteak with eggs, taters n rye toast. The ham is tender thick and flavorful. Today I asked for extra onions in the Potatoes. This I will do going forward. The extra onions takes those potatoes to another level. I'm a Foodie and real picky. Trust me this is a great place. Friendly service, great food at very reasonable pricing. Burp!
Solid place for breakfast and lunch. Food is consistent quality and comes out quickly. Service very friendly. We come here every time we visit my in-laws! My favorite is the Jimmy rockstar wrap and their coleslaw is my favorite. Also great rice pudding!
Quaint, small town Connecticut diner with a lot of options to choose from. I had the Cali wrap with sweet potato fries, which were perfectly cooked--a little crispy, but not too crispy. Staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Food is good whether you are eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The chef was singing in the back and is full of joy, it really sounds like he loves life and his job. I was too full for dessert, but they've got a lot of ice cream to choose from. Will be back!
Can't believe I have never reviewed Sassafras, visiting this weekend refreshed my memory. Stopped in for a Sunday morning breakfast with my wife and sat in one of the smaller booths, other were full which is a testament to how great this place is. I got the usual, 2 eggs, toast, home fries and some bacon, FYI got 3 eggs on this day scrambled. This place is so quick, our food was brought to our table maybe 5-6 minutes after we ordered, no time wasted. Love their home fries, has a perfect sear on them and wonderfully seasoned. Bacon is thin and crispy, eggs and toast on point as well, simply can't beat the price and portions here. I also included a chicken cutlet sandwich with roasted red peppers that I've gotten in the past, they have a book pages deep with lunch options, they also make their own milkshakes with fresh ice cream. Easily one of the best small town restaurants around, the best food and service you will get.
