    This location is on Frankford Avenue which is a great location! There's no menu on the wall, they have printed ones available once you're ready to order which probably is part of the slow service issue. Maybe because the dinner menu changes? It took more than 30 minutes for my Americano. I did see a drink spill behind the counter, but even then there's no sense of urgency. My husband left without his drink since he needed to be somewhere and I just waited for both our drinks. They have some savory items and then some baked goods. The baked good are in a glass case where the menus are...waist level where someone stands to make an order. Since the baked goods are in that case, once again, customers have to move for them to grab a baked good which takes time! The service wasn't bad but the individual who took our order wasn't enthusiastic nor was the individual mean. It's nice to be met with a kind smile at the brink of anyone's morning so that was missing. Some feedback I think that could really improve the spot! My iced americano was perfect! I'd come back again and give it another shot. Love the sage green everywhere!

    Killer breakfast sandwich! Bacon, egg, and cheese on a huge, fluffy biscuit! So good!

    The breakfast sandwich here is BANGIN'! It's a bacon, egg, and cheese on a huge, light, fluffy biscuit with a choice of bacon or onion jam! Watch out, it just might be addictive! Also, great coffee served by a hip and friendly staff in a welcoming, comfortable space that is laptop friendly (WiFi and outlets).

    New chef Ariel Tobing! The chicken ginger soup had a really incredible broth! It's gingery and savory without being overly salty. It's a comforting taste - it almost tasted like it had some fragrance like lemongrass but not quite that. I am missing where the crispy chicken skin is though. My bowl didn't look as advertised on ig lol. The sweet chicken rice was almost exactly as advertised. The sweet chicken was perfectly soy seasoned. The cukes help cut through the richness of the dish (they are not actually spicy). The added egg felt worth it - jammy and tasty. I think the miss for me is the tumeric rice felt more coconut or something which overall made the dish true to the name sweet. The matcha coconut pudding (haupia) was so light and well balanced. The matcha flavor is not that strong or bitter. The coconut is pretty sweet so best to have a bite of both layers instead eating layer by layer. I have to come back to try the breakfast sandwiches

    Staff is friendly! Music is chill! Wifi is fast! And the breakfast sandwich and drip coffee are shockingly, memorably good.

    A little pricey for the amount for food you get, but the breakfast sandwich is delicious.

    We came to picnic for happy hour and had an amazing time. The space is beautiful and all of the…read moreservers were fantastic. The Spritz drink from the happy hour menu was a delight (although still expensive at $9). We ordered the oysters, which were delicious and they came with 4 sauces (tomatillo, mignonette, cocktail, carrot habanero). The fries were delicious and we loved the aioli they were served with (bonus that they're $6 on the hh menu). The Birchrun Blue cheese was incredible and came with a generous portion of bread and a tasty horseradish jelly. The chicory salad and Caesar Brussels sprouts were both outstanding veg dishes. We finished our meal with the frozen yogurt. The flavor options weren't my favorite but I believe these are seasonal. To summarize, the prices are a bit steep here but the vibes, service, food and drinks are all fantastic!

    We decided to try this restaurant for this first time for the NYE Prime Rib Night. I don't know why…read morewe were expecting it to not be very good. Maybe it was because we thought the restaurant's culinary concept was somewhat mundane ("picnic"). Maybe it was the simplicity of the food or ingredients on the menu... BUT BOY WERE WE WRONG! THE FOOD WAS GREAT! Simple dishes, yes...but executed really well! We were surprised, but maybe we shouldn't have been. With the super-friendly service and unique open concept warehouse meets magic garden decor, we will definitely be back...at least for the prime rib special! And yes, it's "deep into Fishtown." So deep, in fact, that it's full on past Fishtown and actually in East Kensington.

Our waitress actually let us sample a few of the wines, since we couldn't decide! This was awesome and so rare these days, but a definite plus for any "wine bar". That being said, the food was really underwhelming. The highlight for me was the tuna crudo, which was so flavorful, creative, and absolutely melted in my mouth. The carrots were also really good. The pastas, however, which the place is known for, lacked flavor. The menu descriptions seemed super unique and innovative, but when the dishes arrived, they were seriously lacking. I really did come here for the pasta, and since the meal wasn't exactly cheap, I don't think I'll be rushing back.

    I feel like if the pasta place has max 20 tables, you know it's going to be good!…read more It's been a hot minute since I visited Tulip (back when they first opened) but now I live around the corner and pass by it almost everyday and finally had a free evening to stop in! We did the tasting menu for $55 a person which is a really good deal considering it consists of two appetizers, three pastas and two desserts, which basically means you're getting an additional pasta (and maybe app) for the $$ you were going to pay anyways. Service was impeccable and I loved that changed out the plates and silverware for every course, especially because some of the sauces were thick.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!

We also ordered a grilled cheese with sweet potato fries which was so so good. The service was top tier. I cannot recommend this place enough.
