Reviews for Sassafras in Philadelphia, PA
Cocktails are very well done. Great drink list. Live music was top notch. Service was even better. Thanks for a great night,... I'll definitely be coming back. Read more
We had a server than was comically rude and aggressive. We tried to give her the benefit of that doubt being that our group have... all worked service industry jobs but this lady?s attitude was truly on a new level. The bartender was very nice a we had greatcocktails. Good price for a good martini Read more
This is one of my favorite places to go eat and hang out on 2nd St. in Philadelphia! They have an extensive very cool drink... list. The staff is amazing. Wednesday through Friday you can find Danny behind the bar during the day and he is always veryhelpful and hilarious! Always has a joke. Andrew, John and Carl you will also find behind the bar and just so friendly. It'sentertaining just to go and watch them work when it's busy. They just rock 'n' roll. We can't forget Theo, he's the chef! Youdon't get to see him much because he's in the kitchen putting out the delicious food. If you get a chance, let him know he'sappreciated! The decor is is smashing and worth a visit just to take a gander! They have the best grilled cheese on the planet!They even make their own ketchup! I also love the fact that if you are in the business, they give you a 10% discount. If youstop by, tell them Donna sent you! Cheers & Bon appétit! Read more
My husband and I visited Sassafras midday (1230ish) and gladly welcomed the air conditioned respite in a Philadelphia heat wave.... I had pomegranate martinis (excellent) and we shared 3 appetizers. The spring rolls, sausage rolls, and cheese curds werefantastic. The ginger dipping sauce with the spring rolls was so good, I used it for the sausage rolls in lieu of the sweetersauce provided. Our bartender was kind, friendly, and attentive. We stayed for longer than intended because of the quietambiance. It was a highlight of our trip. Read more
Cool bar. Very old school in style and decor. Friendly and helpful staff. Interesting classic cocktail menu plus beer and wine.... Tasty food selection. Will definitely return. Read more
I'm not saying I had low expectations, but I was blown away by how great everything was here. I started it with a Paloma, which... was absolutely perfect. I mean, the perfect drink! Then I moved on to whiskey fries, which were just standard fries but thewhiskey gravy was really pungent! And then finished with the fried chicken sandwich, which was big and juicy and moist (it wasborderline indecent, you're reading that correctly) and tasty! Everything was so much better than I expected it to be. Again, Iknow that's backhanded, sorry, I just didn't know to expect such a tasty lunch. The drinks menu is outrageously extensive soI'll be back for more. Thank you!! Read more
