Sassafras American Eatery, Downtown Golden

This is usually our go-to spot if we have a larger crew. The New Orleans/Cajun style food is always delicious, and bloody marys are on point. Get in early to avoid a wait (you will most likely have to wait if you don't get there when they open). Service can be a bit off sometimes, but is usually outweighed by the quality of food.

We arrived for a 10am brunch experience. We waited about 20 minutes but it was definitely worth it! We started off with White Chocolate Lavender Mochas which were heavenly. We also got the Churro Beignets, so much fluff, plus a fun idea. For brunch I had the fried green tomato Benedict and my husband had the bison and deep fried eggs Benedict. Both were completely amazing. Lots of food, all delicious. If you’re looking for a great brunch spot, this is it!

We stopped at this place solely because of the name. We have a member of our family that we call Sassafras. We got there right away at 8am and a line was already forming. The waiter was very prompt and knowledgeable. Our food arrived hot and fast. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and experience. The only downside was the water could have been colder or provided ice. It was a very warm day.

The appearance of the chicken fried steak breakfast looks great and honestly the collard greens are great but, this meal was... quite blah and for the price, the flavor just isn't there. ?

Good selection of drinks and food! Definitely come here to get your brunch game on! It does get a little busy so arrive outside of the rush. The staff are friendly and helpful.
