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!!

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!

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!

Had a great time with family. Relaxed family atmosphere, louder vibe, and super fun. The menu is eclectic and covers all the bases. There were raves about the fish cod veracruz special. Service was super friendly and on point!! Love the vibe and love this place. :)

What a delightful evening at Sassafras! 🌟 We stumbled upon this gem when our usual date night spot had a long wait, and I’m so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Amanda, was an absolute star! She was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. I had seen a drink online that I was eager to try, and she knew exactly what I was talking about. It’s always nice when a server can connect with you like that! Our food was fantastic, and I have to give a special shoutout to the fries—they were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and just downright delicious! The only surprise was the ranch dressing; it had a bit of a kick that I wasn’t expecting, but honestly, it added a fun twist to the meal. Overall, our experience at Sassafras was wonderful. Great food, attentive service, and a cozy vibe make it a perfect spot for a date night with my daughter. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu! Highly recommend! ✨🍽️

One of our fav spots in Carson. The menu is huge and so eclectic. We like to try different things everytime we go. It really hits the spot especially after the hot springs next door. We love Ellen we are lucky to get her almost everytime. My husband had their special which was the smoked turkey sandwich with onion rings. Such great flavors!!! Their ketchup is homemade and delicious. I had a mustard burger with homemade fried and a side of blue cheese dressing. The burger is coooked to perfection. I love their fries. The blue cheese dressing has a lot of chunks of Blue cheese. Yummy. We love our meals.

Finally, made it to Sassafras wish it hadn't taken me so long. We started with an order of calamari. It came with three dipping sauces, it was tasty. One of the special appetizers of the day was Squash Blossoms and they were delicious!!! The dressing they put in the greens that came with the blossoms was splendid. My husband had a burger and said it was very good. I tried their Clam Chowder and it was tasty. I look forward to a return trip to Sassafras.

My family (13 of us) ate here over the weekend for a birthday party and the waiter (Kevin) was great. He was attentive, funny, and helpful with questions on the menu. There are a lot of different options on the menu from the vegetarian to the meat eater. My kids shared the stir fry with tofu and loved the sauce on it and I had the falafel salad. I think next time I'll try the blackened salmon because my aunt and grandmother both really enjoyed it and it looked delicious. The portions were quite big also, nice to have some left overs. There was an extra charge to cut the cake for us but Kevin told us about that prior and we were fine paying that. Glad to have tried a new place and really enjoyed ourselves! You can sit at the bar, high tables, booths, and lower tables.

After a long day of car shopping we flopped into a booth here at Sassafras! We were welcomed in with big smiles and very quickly our order whisked away to the kitchen to be prepared. We loved our comfortable seat next to the window and warmed up in the fun and kitschy environment. My husband and I split their Mediterranean Lamb Burger and an order of Eviled Eggs. The eggs came out first and were delicious! Creamy deviled egg fillings with yummy seafood topping. After that came our burger. I loved the creamy tzatziki slaw with the well seasoned lamb! We also got to taste my parents pulled pork pizza which I am not sure of the name of because we showed up way after they ordered but it was also a treat. I would love to come back and try some more of their fun menu offerings!

We had another delicious dinner at Sassafras last night. Our first, of hopefully many, in this new year. Before we even entered the restaurant door, our amazing server, Adam, had our drinks started and we were shown to our favorite booth. Everyone welcomed us, and it was a joy to be back in one of our absolute favorite Carson restaurants. All the staff are super friendly, the restaurant is warm, welcoming and charming with its day of the dead/cajun decorations, and all the food is fresh, tasty and delicious. Last night, we had the shrimp louie salad (the best I've ever had) and the falafel salad (also amazingly delicious) along with a bottle of the Backhouse Pinot Noir. We'll be back. Very soon!

What a quirky place - eclectic is definitely the perfect word to describe them. the moment you walk in you're greeted with what feels like a step into another universe! We stopped in after a dip at Carson hot springs and had a beer and a burger. I got the peanut butter bacon burger at recommendation of our server, I never would've tried it otherwise but it was quite good, I'd definitely get it again if I didn't want to try everything else on their funky menu! Can't wait to visit again.

Eclectic is definitely accurate for this sprawling spot and casual menu. Right next to the Carson hot springs, this joint serves standard American fare with a lot of homemade items that add a nice thoughtful touch. The ketchup is even made on premises which is delightful and everything tastes like real food. I had the clam chowder bowl (soup special) and it was very good and creamy and I like how they turned the top of the bread bowl into garlic bread. For the price, I wish there was a lot more soup it was not enough! And one of my bites had some sandy clam to chew through. My partner got a Philly cheesesteak that was really good. Again, emphasis on real ingredients no cheese whiz nice quality products. The fries were so yummy flavored really well and not too thin not too thick. I do wish everything came out a lot quicker, our dinner took us a whole hour and a half it should've been much much quicker than that as we ordered very standard things!

Mathias was our server, he shared the delicious sounding specials before we made our choices. We come here for the bologna sandwich and the steak salad but today we tried new stuff. The energy of this place is why we love it most. It's so welcoming and lively , the decor is bright fun and festive. The sandwiches were served hot delicious and packed with great ingredients. The torta had the juiciest carnitas with a yummy tomatillo salsa. The mc rib sandwich was also piled high. This place is a Carson "must try" the people here are rad and the food ECLECTIC love , love , love!!

I've been visiting Carson City, Nevada for almost 20 years now and never new about this place until now. The customer service is the best. The atmosphere, ambiance, and decorations are unique. The food although a little pricy, it's incredible. Huge portions and incredibly tasty. I went here for lunch this last Friday and ordered the Blue Chicken Salad and a diet soda. The salad came in a monster bowl, and it was delicious! Plenty of free refills on the soda. If you happen to be visiting Carson City, you have to visit this place.

I came here during lunch on a whim during the week. We were seated promptly and got our drinks right away. We ordered turkey sandwich on a gluten free roll with sweet potato chips, and the fish and chips special. I know gluten free can be hit or miss, but this was a huge miss. The roll was so heard we had to saw through it. Teeth alone weren't breaking that thing. The sweet potato chips were another big miss. I wasn't expecting much, but they were rubbery and didn't taste fresh. Their menu is kinda quirky, so if you are looking for something different, this may be the place for you. $20 for the sandwich meal and $18 for fish and chips. They also have a credit card fee, so bring cash if you don't want to pay it. I won't be coming back.

This was my first sad food experience here. Everything is always delicious "house made " food and service is great. But this dish should not be on the menu at all. It's unfortunate that this is believed to be shrimp and grits. I just ate the shrimp out the dish and that's it. I don't know what those rectangle things are. It was sour and not cheesy. I don't even know if there were grits in the bowls. Just some tangy sauce with a bunch of chopped veggies. Sorry please take this off the menu. 0/10 recommend.

I really liked the how open and friendly the layout is, even with the impending snow storm coming as we were dining. The food came out great and I really appreciated my veggie burger was house made and not just a boca or morning star thrown in a toaster oven. The veggie patty tasted a lot like falafel which was really nice.

I came with a group of 10 on a Saturday evening. Our Server seemed very experienced and did an excellent job of keeping our drinks coming. For starters, we shared the Superfraggacheesaliscious Loaf, which was outstanding. For dinner I had the Fried Cheese Cheeseburger with fries. The description said the cheese would be crispy and gooey, but it was more like chewy, not gooey and difficult to bite into. The burger was good, but I found it a little bit dry and not as tasty as I had expected. This place is great, I just think I ordered the wrong thing. There are so many other items on the menu, I'll just have to come back.

I can count on one hand the times I've visited Sassafrass. The other visits were late lunch early dinner before drinks next door. I picked up salmon for dinner and although I like to try new things when returning to a restaurant; I'm human and a creature of habit. Why change a good thing? I've tried their mushroom burger, tuna melt, lamb burger, pizza, and their peanut butter burger. I've also tried their fries, onion rings, chips, slaw. I have no complaints about service or ambiance. It's always been fairly quiet during my visits. I've enjoyed my meals here, but not a fan of their natural Ketchup. Unfortunately my photos were blurry, so next time I'll ensure to capture photos. I look forward to my next visit.

What a delightful and previously unknown (to me) experience! For my friend's birthday, she requested this restaurant and I am so glad she did. Eclectic is one of the descriptives this restaurant uses, but I'm going to use "delicious." She wanted the Superfraggacheesalicious Loaf and I will probably dream about this cheesy, garlic loaf for a while. The flavor is so intense. I could have stopped after this and been very happy but we were all really hungry and there were just so many things to try. I also ordered the Black and Blue Shrimp Fondue. This is just the right level of creamy. The shrimp were cooked right and this is the best fondue I have ever had a restaurant. The only dish I didn't like was the Ham and Brie. I substituted turkey for the ham for dietary reasons but the bread had an overwhelming flavor of cooking oil rather than a buttery toasted texture that over powered the meat and cheese. I don't know if this was a normal occurrence or just my usual bad luck but I had ordered plenty and didn't really need to eat it. I did eat the homemade fries that came with it though and they were great. Normally I like to dip my fries in ranch but their blue cheese dressing is to die for. Even if you usually don't like Bleu Cheese, try it. They also come served with homemade ketchup which was also very tasty. Top it off with s mango Italian soda and you will have had the ultimate culinary party. My friends ordered the gumbo, the chimichanga, the cheese curds and a salad. We shared most everything and had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. I had trouble getting pictures because I couldn't wait to dig in. Also, a big shout out to our server Nina! She was very attentive and we didn't wait for anything. She checked on us often and is a great conversationalist. Her service rounded out a pretty much perfect, evening.

Love this place! Had the black and blue shrimp fondu today. So yummy and cheesey with toasted bread to sop up all the yummy gooeyness.

I would never choose a restaurant with the word eclectic in it if it were up to me but it wasn't. Don't expect authentic tacos although they were seasoned decently, the tortillas were cold and totally unheated. Service was meh and I don't think the prices match the quality of the food.

This is a fun place to go with friends, especially if you're heading to the Carson Hot Springs which is right next door. The server was funny, and the decor is eclectic, just like the name of the restaurant. We had fun here, and the beer is good. You should give it a try if you're going to also go to the Carson Hot Springs.

A fish out of water in Carson, but thanks to my trusted Yelp community I was able to find this gem. The jam is a bit divey bar meets homey comfort. I beat the rush and grabbed a seat at the bar to watch the game. The team is super friendly, always moving and having fun! I love it. This is a great place to meet with friends for a great time, good food and a full bar. It got busy and loud inside, but everyone is having a great time. Fish and chips were great and I do recommend them. It comes with fresh cut fries and a delicious homemade Licious (tartar) sauce. Adam clearly loves his job here and really makes for an enjoyable experience here. Not a great place to watch the game. Small TVs are tucked in the corner playing the background without sound. Come in and enjoy socializing with a small or large group, or meet new people. Don't miss this place when in Carson.

Eclectic is a good choice for this eaterys offerings. Give Sassafras a chance when you are ready for something different. They have a nice selection of unusual, but delicious-sounding choices. I had the roasted beet salad (offered with blue cheese) made with feta cheese. I love beets so this was a perfect choice and it was pretty darn good and just enough for brunch. The service was good, and the ambiance was what you would expect for a mid-day meal. I would definitely would go back for a second try! Close to the Hot Springs Spa.

My wife and I moved to Carson City a short while ago. This was our first visit; it certainly will not be our last! My wife's Grilled Asian Chicken Tacos were fantastic! The flavor really popped! I had the Shrimp Louie Salad. Again, a very good blend of tastes and textures. We also ordered the Calamari, which comes with three dipping sauces. I loved it, while my wife thought it was "okay". Kevin was our server. Great job! Decor was fun! We will be back!

First I'll start with the warm and shennanigans atmosphere, which was so fun. Second our wait staffer, he was wonderful. We went around 5:30-6 on 2/28. He mentioned getting off his office job and showing up for his shift and We resonate with that as hospitality workers ourselves. Then he said "any alergies here? " we were shocked. My fiance is severly dairy allergic. I've been friends with my parter since 2009 and we've been together since Jan 2019. Just celebrated our 6th year. In those 6 years this service representative was the 3rd ever to ask that and THE FIRST EVER to know the menu and modifications for dairy just off top of his head. We left a huge tip because he actually cared even after a full work day in an office. And the food was great too. But i wish i could remmeber his name because he deserves all the recognition. So owner whoever had the four top with 2 people by the stage on 2-28-25 please give him our appreciation and recognize his worth as an employee. :) we got the eggs, poke, chicken mole tacos, chicken ceasar, and Muffaletta to go.

This place is conveniently located next to Carson Hot Springs. It's a fairly large restaurant good for large groups. The menu is extensive and seems to have a little of everything for everyone. They offer salads, tacos, sandwiches, fish, burgers, etc. My husband and I shared the peanut butter and bacon burger and an order of salmon tacos. I preferred the tacos. It was light and fresh with the broiled salmon filet and veggies in it. The burger had a bit too much peanut butter for my liking. Our server was a little snarky but in a friendly way. He was attentive and brought out our food and drinks in a timely manner. Overall it was a decent lunch, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again unless I was already going to Carson Hot Springs next door.

On a recent visit to Carson City, we stopped at Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint for a quick dinner. The place was bustling, yet despite sharing a parking lot with the Shoe Tree Brewing Company, there was ample parking available. The restaurant boasts a fun, eclectic decor featuring sugar skulls, vibrant colors, and unique artifacts. Their menu is just as diverse, offering intriguing appetizers, unique hamburgers, and a variety of tacos, to name a few. We began our meal with the Black & Blue Shrimp Fondue. The cheese was melty and creamy, and the shrimp had a nice, spicy coating. Served with toasted French bread, it could easily be a meal on its own. Next, I ordered the Muffaletta Sandwich. Their rendition of this classic is stuffed with spicy capicola, ham, salami, and mortadella, topped with olive salad and provolone cheese. Delicious! My husband opted for the Fried Cheeseburger, which comes surrounded by crispy fried cheese and all the toppings. He said it was the best burger he's had in Carson City. Sassafras also offers a wide variety of local breweries to choose from, and our friendly waitress, Jade, had a handwritten beer list available for us. We picked 10 Torr's Dayman Heff, which was the perfect complement to our meal.

Service was quite awesome on the refills till the end of the meal where it kinda fell off I ordered the Evilled eggs to start. They were quite good but a little pricey at 3 halves for $7. My Ahi BLT was good but couldn't really taste the tuna. My mother decided to have the Supercalifraggacheese loaf as her dinner which she really enjoyed. Only complaints were that they had neither a senior menu nor would let us order from the kids menu nor would do a half portion as my elderly mother eats very little. Ambiance was limited. It was very quiet. And the decor is very sparce versus some places that are very cluttered. A very nice dinner for me and mom.

This is my most favorite place to eat in Carson city. My favorite dishes are the fish tacos and burgers with a veggie patty. The blue cheese coleslaw is to die for and the black and blue shrimp fondue is seriously the best appetizer I've ever had. The staff are always so friendly offering the best service and recommendations.

I visited this location last week for a work lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the colorful decor and diverse menu options! It's located near the Carson hot springs and a brewery, which is an odd location if you ask me. Don't let that fool you though! This place is amazing! I love the options they have on the menu- salads, burgers, tacos, and sandwiches. It was hard to choose one thing, especially when they have a variety of options for vegetarians! I did also try one of the botanicals which I would highly recommend against. It was not sweet at all and actually made my stomach hurt. I ordered the stir fry bowl which was quite tasty but nothing extraordinary. The group also ordered the Lemon Balm Pizza which was the star of our lunch hour! So good! I didn't like the smell of cigarettes and old timeliness, but I will definitely try this restaurant again when I am in Carson City!

This little hidden gem in North Carson City next to the hot springs on Old Hot Springs Road is quite impressive! 5 of us met here for lunch and everyone agreed the meal was great! We started off with cheese loaf which was very tasty, especially if you like blue cheese, garlic and butter! I had the chicken and pickle sandwich with a side of blue cheese slaw and it was fantastic. Pricing slightly higher than average for c-town but I'd say the food at Sassafras is higher than average for Carson so the pricing is warranted. Service was perfect as we sat at a high top booth in the bar area right across from the bartender so a simple look over would prompt them to come our aid. The walls are full of eclectic art and sculptures. They also appeared to have a stage on the other side of the dining area which I would guess makes for some nice live music nights. Overall would recommend Sassafras to others and make sure you bring your appetite as the portions are really large :)

Jayme, Co owner, was our server today. She's cool. I like chatting with her. Our meals were excellent. I ordered the Sand Dab sandwich with tomatoe soup as my side. I loved the sandwich. So so so yummy! I probably could have made my meal out of the soup and grilled cheese. The soup. Mmmmm. But I'm glad I got the Sand Dab. Really enjoyed every bite. They've got a full bar here so order away. And guess what. You like the glass your beer came in? You can buy it for a reasonable $5 as of Nov '23. The atmosphere here is as eclectic as the food and sometimes they've got entertainment. Well worth coming out here and we are here after the Carson Hot Springs right next door. A very enjoyable experience. Oh. I never got a bite of the cheese curd sandwich our friend ordered but it sure did look good and Ray got the meatball pepperoni sandwich. I was so intent on eating every crumb and drop of my own meal I did not get a taste of others.

Wow. Such a great find. We have eaten there twice now and have been able to try many different dishes. The service was amazing, Adam was our server for both meals and I have been very impressed. The Fries were amazing and they make all their own sauces, including the ketchup. YUM

Located next door to a hot springs and a brewery! Same parking lot (plenty of space)! Server Ellen was amazing and funny! Quoted the specials from memory! The shrimp fondue (share with a friend) scooped up nicely with fresh bread! Big servings, large beer list and good spirits! live stage and inclusive atmosphere!!

The place itself is like a good ol' small town roadhouse, with a bar, seating, and a stage. We go often to the hot springs, but had never tried Sassafras. Until today! What a great decision. The service was great, very nice staff. The food was completely unexpected and delicious. I just had no idea! Today we tried a chicken pickle sandwich, which was lovely. Great bun, good quality meat, tender, and great flavors. We also got the gumbo, which came with a scoop of rice. I love cajun and creole food and I was very pleased. So, so good, and a great portion too. We also had the "evilled" eggs, which have shrimp and jicama. They were tasty and so refreshing. We can't wait to go back and try more things. This place gets BUSY, so consider the time when you try it!

We always come here when we are in Carson City. The food is different in this out of the way place. The waitress are always friendly and like to chat with us. We ordered 4 entrees and Shared amongst ourselves. We had ahi salad, shrimp Louie salad, ahi burger and salmon tacos. Everything we ordered was good. The ahi burger had little bits or crispy bacon - that was so yummy! The huge chunks of salmon in the taco was cooked perfectly. There was plenty of shrimp in the shrimp Louie. And I loved my ahi salad with garlic ranch dressing.

My husband and I eat here regularly. We love this place, we really appreciate the atmosphere service and food. We've had a couple of dishes we weren't crazy about, but usually the food and drinks are delicious.(the only beverage I wouldn't recommend is their margaritas...) one of my favorites here is the sand dab sandwich and Mac n cheese, their salads are all really good too.

Quirky fun little spot we stopped in for lunch. Service was pleasant and attentive! The food was very tasty - prices are a bit on the upper end. My Cajun Mac n cheese was $20 and for 3 eggs it was $11. Up to you whether you would pay it or not?

This is a lovely LGBTQ+ allied establishment. Very beautifully lit on the inside, a bit of everything decor wise. From Sugar Skulls and Old Western to Wild Paintings and LED lighting with a hint of pride scattered about. The food was wonderfully cooked, the steak being medium rare and covered in lovely cheese. Fondue Steak. The server was Evan, and not only sharing the similar name but was a lovely person and kept up with us and checking to make sure all was well and provided excellent service. All in all, it's a quaint place to grab some good food and if you're looking for a good soak after, there's the hot spring next door.

First time here and Carson hot springs are right next to it which is so cool. Inside is very eclectic and original building is old. They have a stage set up so it looks like they definitely have live music. They had a lot of options on their menu and it really seemed like they made a lot of their condiments and menu items in house. Standard prices are around $15 to $30 but the portions are large.

This place lives up to its name. It is Eclectic and weird and we loved everything about it. The food was delicious and it was a perfect place to be next to the Carson hot springs. Our waiter went with the theme of the restaurant and made it so much better of an experience. He was friendly and funny and matched my friends and I's inappropriate-ness. Never knew Carson city had such a lovely gem hidden but I'll be back here for sure because I loved the ambiance that much. The food wasn't anything mind blowing but they had a bunch of different types of stuff to choose from so there's definitely something for everyone. From Evilled Eggs, deep fried grits to lamb burgers and peanut butter and bacon burgers, you're sure to find something different to try and possibly enjoy. I know i gotta come back for their Redneck Pizza and a pulled pork sandwich. And now that I'm writing this review, I'm really tempted to make the drive out there just for this place. Hehehe. Love it here, if you're thinking of coming here, do it. It'll be an experience you'll never forget.

It's different, kinda hip they serve big dishes. So go hungry! Service was good. Had a short wait! But that's always a good sign

Had a great meal for the price. Veggie burger is great as was the black bean soup. Nice place to visit after going to the hot springs.

My favorite restaurant at Carson, their menu covers a great variety of food. But don't only stick with the menu, always ask for the daily specials! The location is so convenient, right next to the hot springs, and the local brewery.
