What our guests are saying

Bryce is an excellent server that provided wonderful service and good vibes. The homemade biscuits here were the star of the show and tasted so delicious and fluffy and were definitely worth it! Our party had the blubbery pancake that was yummy as well. All around great food and service! Definitely recommend the original meat skillet too! Thank you Bryce & Sassy Team! 💜

What a wonderful little breakfast spot. We all ordered a different meal, from eggs Benedict to scrambles to burgers; all of us were very happy with our food. The waitress was delightful. And we were even able to buy some locally made artwork while we were there. Definitely recommend Sassys for breakfast and brunch.

I stopped at the Sassy Onion while travelling through the area. I ordered to-go. I am gluten-free, so it is hard to find really yummy stuff to eat on the road. But this place did not disappoint. The onion rings were hands down the best. I ever had, & the banana bread French toast is a brilliant idea too! Very yummy. Thank you, cooks! & the girl who took my order & brought my food out was really kind too! Thanks!
