Sassafras

The Essentials

Sassafras is an amazing spot in West Palm Beach for delicious, fresh southern cuisine. Sassafras' executive chef John Thomas, a longtime local chef, turns to fresh, local ingredients to rev up Southern classics. Thomas says, “Access to the green market on Saturdays will be a plus during season. We plan to feature items from the market as well as from local farms". Thomas held top chef positions at the now-closed Tryst and 32 East restaurants in Delray Beach. He also spent some months working under chef Clay Conley at Buccan Palm Beach. Sassafras’ working menu confirms Thomas’ fresh-and-regional focus.
