Review by Marisa Flatley

Sassafras American Eatery in Highlands is an absolute gem for brunch lovers! 🌟

I indulged in the Chicken Fried Steak and Deep South Benedict, both bursting with flavor. The collards and jalapeño cornbread were standout sides - so delicious! The atmosphere feels like an old Victorian house, cozy and trendy at the same time.

Our server, Greg, was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the wait, but the food more than made up for it. Expect to pay around $50, but trust me, it's worth every penny! Can’t wait to return... 🥞✨
