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. ♀️

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 get tired of it. While I was there I witnessed young couples with kids, older couples enjoying their meal, big families, groups of friends and lone diners. It’s just a cool spot with great food and fantastic service. I’ll be back the next time I’m in the area.

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.

Everything about it. Locally owned and operated.
…and made from scratch food. ❤️
Delicious food, house made vegan patties were amazing, French fries and house made ketchup.
Service was spot on. Ellen was a delight and all of the employees spoke highly of their jobs/owners… regular customers coming in and catching up with staff….all signs of a well ran place.
Glad we stumbled across your establishment. Will be back through when traveling.

Sassafras is located in a great spot. With Shoe Tree Brewery and Carson Hot Springs all in the same parking lot, we call it doing the trifecta. I had the Okonomyaki. Extremely flavourful flank steak cooked mid rare served a top a pan-fried veggie pancake. The pancake was thick, crispy on the outside, and soft on the in. The Asian drizzle was sweet and savory, followed by spicy serano accents to cut through the richness. Delicious. Beer prices are high, but plenty to choose from. The service was excellent. We’ll be back to try another delicious entree in the near future.

Absolutely loved my experience here! I ordered the burger, fresh garden salad, and churro dessert. The 1/2 pound burger was packed with fresh, organic ingredients that you could really taste in every bite—flavorful, juicy, and guilt-free. The menu is full of delicious, organic, and wholesome options that make it hard to choose just one. Big shoutout to my waitress, Lulu, for the amazing customer service—friendly, attentive, and made the visit even better. Can’t wait to come back!

Sassafras describes itself as eclectic, but both the menu and decor feel confused rather than cohesive. I didn’t go in with high expectations given the 4.4 rating, and the food was mediocre—fine, but not memorable. House made ketchup was the consistency of marinara and tasted like it was mixed with vinaigrette (gross). Overall, the place didn’t stand and could benefit from a clearer concept and stronger execution.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sassafras in Carson City, NV, and I am compelled to share my delightful experience. The food was absolutely amazing, showcasing a mastery of flavors that left a lasting impression.
As a Southern enthusiast, I was particularly excited about their thick bologna sandwich, which was smoked to perfection—each bite was a beautifully balanced experience of savory richness. Additionally, the fish served that evening was nothing short of sublime; it truly melted in my mouth with every delectable morsel.
Furthermore, I would be remiss not to mention our waiter, who exemplified exceptional service. His attentiveness and recommendations greatly enhanced our dining experience, making us feel both welcomed and valued.
In a town rich with culinary options, Sassafras stands out as a premier choice for anyone seeking a memorable meal. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful establishment for a truly remarkable dining experience. If you’re in the area, treat yourself to the exquisite dishes and warm hospitality that Sassafras offers!

Recently visited on our way through the state. Service and atmosphere were amazing! Our waitress mama Coco was a delight and a pleasure to talk to. The food was delicious! Everything on the menu was very close to comfort food with just a little twist to spin things up in a good way! If we ever visit Carson city again Sasafrás is at the top of our list!!
