    How the dinner plate was presented.
    Brian C.

    We booked a table a week in advance, on arrival we were given a table right next to the computer and kitchen pass window, while there was plenty of room elsewhere. Bad start. Got their version of BamBam Shrimp on a bed of greens.to start. Presentation was on a bed of chopped iceberg lettuce, no side plates were offered, and we used our single paper napkin to keep our silverware off the table and wipe our mouths. No linen napkins. I did surf n turf, medium well which most kitchens struggle with. No different here, cooked well all the way through. Baked potato was genuinely cool to the touch. Collard greens were excessively seasoned with vinegar. Not good at all. The presentation was shockingly bad, one side on my plate had a rim of black pepper, the other side had a rim of butter from the shrimp, that's my best guess. Shockingly bad. My wife ordered ribeye medium rare. The outer part was well done and the inside was very rare, cook temperature way too high. Baked potato cool to the touch again. From my seat the kitchen looked chaotic and undisciplined, no quality control at the pass at all, no floor manager present anywhere to be seen. Sometimes my view was blocked by employees clocking in to work. This table should be the last to be assigned period. Non culinary folks could find easy ways to improve this place, linen napkins, side plates, hot food, precision cooking etc. The lack of oversight for the food preparation and presentation of the food killed the experience for sure, no supervision or management of the kitchen and food.

    Southern food with a hint of elegance. We've seldom experienced an issue with this location. The staff is always helpful and pleasant. We've eaten quick lunch meals, relaxed dinners, and hosted events here. It's a calm, quiet, and friendly atmosphere, and it's enjoyed by so many people from near and far. Some of the menu items tend to be a bit on the heavier/greasier side, but other light menu items provide a nice balance.

    Food was spectacular along with the service. I was recommended to come here. Upon entering the side entrance, I was attracted by the nice ambiance outside. Very cute and comfortable outdoor seating area with pillows for comfort. The inside of the restaurant is small, but the outside patio is very large. In addition, the restaurant was very clean. I was promptly seated and my server was awesome. Another lady came and asked how we were doing; I believe she was the Manager. I ordered the maple salmon with a side of asparagus and dirty rice. My boyfriend ordered a platter with fried grouper, fried shrimp and a side of asparagus, casserole, and red beans & rice. Food was fresh and cook to perfection. I was recommended the honey maple salmon by my server and it was better than I expected. The honey maple syrup may look overpowering but it wasn't. It added a great bit of sweetness to the salmon. Lastly, I ordered the banana pound cake to eat for later. I am hopeful that it will be a delicious dessert. If you stay in Thomasville or visiting I highly recommend coming here. You wont be disappointed with the food nor the service.

    I have had the pleasure of eating at SASS for two of my husband's and my anniversaries. During each visit, I ordered either seafood or a combination of surf and turf. For being quite a ways from the ocean, the seafood was fresh and perfectly seasoned. If you haven't been, definitely get the Beach Bread and fried green tomatoes to start out. They have refreshing, cute cocktails for you to try throughout dinner as well. SASS is set within the old train station just before you cross the tracks and go into downtown Thomasville. Most recently we went when another newly opened restaurant in Thomasville was booked up. We were able to get into SASS with no issue. It appears they have expanded and use the entire train station space as the main restaurant and a lounge/bar-looking space at the back of the building. The service at SASS is always polite and attentive. If you haven't checked this gem out and you live in Tallahassee, it is worth the drive to get some elevated old-fashioned southern comfort food

    Such a cool spot! Right by the train tracks. We sat inside & it was very cool to see the train pass by every once in a while. We started with pimento cheese bread, which was soooo yummy. Then I ordered chicken salad, my boyfriend got jambalaya, his mom got the salmon, and his dad got the shrimp etouffee . For dessert we got Eleanor's pound cake, which was INCREDIBLE! The flavors were amazing for everything but we were talking about that pound cake until the next day lol. Everything was priced very well, but my salad was a little small. Would come back for sure!

    SASS continues to shine! On this follow-up visit to SASS, I'm happy to report that the food remains absolutely superb, consistently fresh, beautifully prepared, and delivered with a speed that is almost hard to believe. It's not often you find a restaurant that can turn out dishes this quickly while maintaining such a high standard of quality and freshness. As for the staff, the younger waiters here tend to be a little shy and standoffish. I chalk that up to inexperience and youthful nerves, so I'm willing to cut them some slack. That said, given the upscale environment SASS strives for, I think a more seasoned staff would better match the atmosphere. Experienced servers just bring a confidence and finesse that elevate the dining experience, especially in a place of this caliber. The host stand can also feel a little chaotic at times. The hostesses are friendly, but they are often very young women and sometimes make seating guests more dramatic than it needs to be... it's visible and, occasionally, a little frustrating. Again, this is something I think could be smoothed out with a more mature, discreet approach. If I owned the place, I'd lean into a polished, experienced front-of-house team, but hey, that's just my opinion, and it doesn't take away from what really matters here: the food. And let me tell you, the food delivers. Every. Single. Time. If you're a grits lover, this is your spot... they do them absolutely right. Their handcrafted cocktails never disappoint, either, though this time I opted for the house wine. It's inexpensive and decent for what it is, just another example of their ability to offer something for everyone. Despite a few hiccups with the service, SASS keeps me coming back again and again. The food is top-tier, the flavors are unforgettable, and I walk away satisfied every time. If you're looking for a place that nails Southern-inspired cuisine with flair, this is it. I'll happily keep returning for that perfect balance of fresh, flavorful dishes and a dining experience I know I can count on.

    Really great menu and food. The Po Boys were very good and the Fish and Grits were one of the best I have had anywhere. Cute location and great service. Worth the trip. Will be back!

    Sass is simply wonderful. For appetizers I had the shrimp. It was lightly breaded in a sweet and slightly spicy chili sauce. Excellent. Next time I'll order as an entree. You have a choice. My guest ordered the pimento cheese dip. It was accompanied by lightly toasted garlic toast. For dinner I had a 1/2 rack of ribs with cheese grits and collard greens. The ribs were great. Great bbq sauce. And the grits were smooth and creamy. Best grits I ever had. They also have shrimp and grits on the menu. The greens were perfection. Very fresh. He had a burger. And he said the burger was simple but the beef was so tasteful. Best burger he ever had. That's coming from a guy who loves the burgers at the Biltmore in coral gables beat Miami. Or the burgers at Peter Lugars In New York. Pretty stiff competition. Sass won out. We didn't have room for desert but next time I want to try the banana foster and the New Orleans begnins. They sound amazing. Josh was our waiter. Excellent service. You cannot go wrong with Sass. It's southern with a Cajun kick. The owner was there and hands on. We live 45 minutes away from Thomasville. But it's on my regular weekend places to go now. It's worth the drive. And if you live too far, and want to stay overnight. I saw a Marriott in town. Also stop and see the 340 year old oak tree. In Thomasville, Ga. Very quaint and historic.

The restaurant was less crowded than last time, I guess because schools are back in session. My sandwich arrived promptly. I gobbled a couple of bites down, before realizing I had wanted to take some pictures. Oh well, take my word for it - the sandwich was fabulous. A thick piece of grouper with beautifully blackening on a toasted roll with lettuce, red onion and Jonah's sauce. The fries were hot, the slaw could've used some seasoning. The golf ball sized hush puppy was moist on the inside and crispy outside. Great flavors. Very attentive server. Checked back several times and refilled my tea. It was pricey for lunch - $47 with tip. I don't mind paying for outstanding food!

Not really worth the wait. Decent food. Friendly staff. But nothing super special. For Thomasville, I get it, but I live in Pensacola where there is a place like this on every corner. I had the grouper sandwich (blackened) and the fried green tomatoes for a starter. The FGTs were very good. The sandwich was average except that the ciabatta bun was exceptional. Cheese grits on the side were above average. Brussels sprouts were just like any bistro Brussels sprouts ever (man, I wish this trend would die, but I keep ordering them hoping to be surprised.) The place was PACKED (as usual) but the staff were friendly and attentive. For me, however, this is expected in any restaurant. Therefore: 3 stars for decent - if unimaginative- food and good service. Will not come back unless there is no line ... albeit an unlikely scenario.

As well, we were greeted by the owner Allen and our bartender Annabelle. I have been in a lot of places with nice people, but none have been as nice as these folks. They were so friendly and accommodating with a wealth of local information and exceptional service. The place had such a nostalgic vibe and decor, which was very relaxing. Being a music lover, who loves any type of music, we were pleasantly pleased with the mix of various rock/yacht rock tunes that only enhanced our experience. We ordered beverages, which the bar had a great selection to choose from. From there we ordered a couple of appetizers, which consisted of fried pickled okra and blue cheese chips with Balsamic drizzle. Both appetizers were so good. We could have made a meal out of either one. After munching on these for a few, we decided to split the Tavern club sandwich, which was so good with more than ample portions of shaved ham, turkey and bacon. This was complimented with their house made Coleslaw. I would count this as a perfect 5 out of 5 establishment. If we lived in the area, this would be our hangout for sure. We loved it. We will be back. Sorry no pictures were added. We were too busy enjoying ourselves.
