The Pelham Road location is roomier with a better layout, so it worked out in our favor. The food was the same, and the service was over-the-top good. I couldn't tell you the last time I've experienced that level of service. The only warning I would offer is that the portions are very generous. Unless you are a competitive eater, get the smaller size and order a variety. Everything is great.

When she knows what she wants for dinner, I'm going to cooperate. The restaurant was not busy at 6pm on a Friday evening so we were seated immediately at a table and drink orders taken. When our drinks arrived, we ordered dinner. Quick. Like less than five minutes. A big sandwich with Mrs. that arrived with a plate of fries. And a plate of catfish and shrimp for me, also with a stack of fries and the cole slaw. All of it was okay. The catfish was light and flaky and not overly battered. Fresh from the frier. The shrimp were also lightly battered and lightly spiced. The TON of fries we had were delicious. Cooked properly, served hot and with a nice zingy spice on them. Overall, a good experience. Solidly four stars. [Review 486 of 2026 - 1414 in South Carolina - 25668 overall]

For starters, four of us got the Fried Okra, Fried Mushrooms, and Gator Bites. I prefer the mushrooms most because it's so juicy. Other two were good too. Gumbo & Cajun Classic Trio was helpful since we get to sample three items with smaller portions. The Seafood Gumbo, Lobster Bisque, and Jambalaya were all pretty decent, but none were amazing like what I have tasted in NoLa. For entrees, we shared an order of Cat-touffee and Redfish Bienville. I would get the former again, but the latter was slightly underwhelming. In the end, this was an above average meal, but also nothing that makes me go "Wow!" I wish their flavors were a bit more bold and techniques were slightly more refined.

On my initial visit, the entire restaurant had a strong fish odor, which, although expected for a seafood venue, unfortunately affected the flavor of my chicken strips.

The abundance of decorations contributed to a pleasant ambiance.

The bar tender told my coworker not to try raw which to me is the best way to try oysters. We decided to try the fried and char grilled instead. Although I like a bit of horseradish on my oyster I do not believe in masking the taste with too much other flavors. You either like oysters or you don't. My coworker was a bit thrown off by his first bite of the fried oysters but he seemed to enjoy them after that initial taste. Just before we finished the fried, we ordered 2 varieties of char grilled; cheddar jalapeño and garlic Parmesan, 2 of each. I enjoyed the garlic Parmesan better than the cheddar jalapeño but they both tasted good. Endra liked them both also. It's been four years since I came here last time with my sister and brother-in-law and the place still was great!

I remember it being different but as time change so do the menus. We nibbled on corn bread before the entrees. I forgot to take pics somehow but I was just enjoying the quick and attentive service as well as the moment... being home and enjoying the sunshine on the patio. One note.... The fried green tomatoes appetizer is ridiculously high for no real reason. Lol It's almost the same price as the crab cake entree???? HOW SWAY??!!

We couldn't be more impressed with this establishment. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the owner came by and introduced himself to all the tables and checked in with us. We started off with a crabcake and bang bang shrimp to share and the crabcake was absolutely delicious. Then we had our salads which were a huge portion for a side salad and were also fantastic. . For meals, we did the fried stuffed chicken and it was so amazing along with the mac & cheese brussels sprouts. The marinated beef tips were also delicious. It's such a cute and cozy restaurant inside and out on the patio. A place where you can come for dinner or you can also sit at the bar! we wish we were local so that we could go back again, but it just means we have to book another trip to Greenville!

Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect introduction to Southern comfort with a twist. For dinner, my coworker ordered the seafood trio with double blackened scallops and fried catfish, paired with asparagus and risotto. Everything was cooked beautifully and full of bold flavor. I had the mango salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and it was outstanding -- tender, bright, and perfectly balanced. A huge shoutout to our waitress, Skye, who was incredibly patient as we explored the menu. She walked us through each appetizer and entrée, offered thoughtful recommendations, and helped my Wisconsin coworker dive into Southern cuisine with confidence. Her warmth and knowledge made the whole experience even better. Sassafras delivered on food, service, and Southern hospitality.

I had to make sure we were entering the right business. Inside, there is plenty more fish, crab, etc. decor to confirm my previous statement. When we walked in, you could hear someone over in the hibachi area. After waiting a few minutes and not seeing anyone, I popped my head over into the hibachi room and a cook walked out to get someone for us which was helpful. We were going for sushi and when asked if we wanted a booth or table, I said booth yet we were sat at a table. The girl who helped us was very kind and polite. We were going back and forth about what to order. When our rolls came, I asked for some sauces which weren't brought out right away so I couldn't eat until she came back and I had to ask again. We weren't given any napkins when seated or when the food was brought, and we weren't asked if our food was good until the end which was counterproductive. Overall, the sushi was decent. My spicy tuna roll had tempura flakes in it which was just strange. Filler? I'm not a fan of that part and not sure why that would be in there (this isn't normal for a spicy tuna roll). The Crazy Roll states on the menu it has two shrimp tempura pieces in it which is not true. There was only one. While we were eating, a man had mopped the restrooms but here is the kicker..... he then moved into the dining area without changing the water. Very interesting visit. I have mixed emotions about this place.

What a strange combination, but if the menu works for the kitchen, I shouldn't complain. We opted to eat at the hibachi table and the table was way too high. The table was at chest-level while seated in a normal-height chair. It was really uncomfortable. I opted for the shrimp and scallop hibachi combination because I wanted to treat myself to something on the nicer side. I was able to get a second soup instead of a salad. The hibachi show was unique and I saw a few things I've never seen before: the chef was beatboxing while using the utensils as music, the chef tossed an egg into their hat, and the rice was cooked and pressed into a loaf and served neatly. I was extremely disappointed with the food though. I inquired to the chef about the "second sauce" he put into the rice. He responded that it was teriyaki sauce. The look on my face probably showed disappointment. I do not like teriyaki. And the teriyaki was put on everything cooked on the table from the shrimp appetizer, vegetables, and main meat entrees. If I wanted a teriyaki dinner, I would have ordered one. I'm used to a hibachi dinner being soy-sauce based. (And this was but with teriyaki added into everything.) The service wasn't really existent. There's not much to do, but when I'm asked if I'm done with my bowl, I expected to be taken off the table, not stacked in the empty seat next to me. The short: confusing interior, confusing menu, confusing food preparation. 2 stars because some food was edible but I didn't enjoy myself. I won't be back if I'm in the area.
