What people say, in short
Sassafras on West 32nd draws repeated breakfast recommendations. One supporter praises the potato casserole and bacon, and another singles out the breakfast mac and cheese. Two diners call it a favorite. The criticism is substantial too: one visitor reports disappointing food across two visits, another would not return because of the cost, and a third finds the food decent but the portions small for the price.
