    Mimosas and sweet tea make a great bonding moment for a Sunday brunch
    Katie B.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    WOW!!! Visiting family in Tally and they said this was a must go to place. We arrived about 5 minutes beyond our reservation time since we had to find parking on the other side of the building and walk with our dog. They had just gave away our table. We had to wait about 10 minutes for them to set up another table outdoors. They didnt have enough heaters so we were fairly cold until another large party left and they were able to bring a heater over. Server was a insanely polite young man (southern manners), I am Miami trash and not used to seeing it. Service was great with him. We order a few apps to share. A shrimp plate, highly recommended cheese dip which I would have enjoyed better if the bread they brought was toasted. There was a toasted one that came with the shrimp or vice verse. Can't remember. I had a grouper sandwich which was cooked perfectly and man had I been feening for a grouper plate for a while. Not easily found where I live in Cali. Everything we ordered was amazing. Never went inside so cant comment on the interior. Great location and neat spot. An old train station. Has restaurant, a separate bar business, and its open to have events at. If sitting outside you will be greeted at times by a passing trainin. Iron wrought fense separates you from the active tracks. Reservation recommended. Parking lot was full when we got there and full when we left. Check out the nearby town of thomasville. Amazing place for a walk and plenty of window shopping.

    Outside seating very pleasant!

    We went in for lunch on our way to the dealership to have the truck serviced we have been wanting to stop by for quite a while and we were not disappointed at all! It was not crazy busy we were early for a light lunch. Love the ambiance a train went by as we were there and well it was LOUD....but we managed it did not ruin the experience at all! Service was good food was good and my mimosa was good too! All in all a lovely lunch experience! We will make sure to stop in again highly recommend the shrimp and grits!

    Wedge salad with blackened chicken.

    Overall it's good but only if you have plenty of time to spend there. Food was great and flavorful. We were immediately sat down at a table with a beautiful atmosphere but then the waits after that were aggravating. We waited for our server to bring drinks. Waited 10-15 minutes for them to return to get our order and then waited 45 minutes for our food. Between dropping our drinks off and after our food was brought, our waiter never checked on us. We got our first refill after our food was brought out, and that was by a bus boy. Food was great but service was bad.

    After wanting to eat at Jonah's for years, I finally made it today. At 11:15 the place was already…read morebustling. I was promptly seated at a table for 1. My server immediately came to the table, brought me an unsweetened tea. I was torn between shrimp n grits or the Parmesan crusted black grouper. My said both were great. I chose the grouper. My entree arrived and it didn't disappoint. A large thick piece of grouper cooked perfectly surrounded by a crispy delicious crust. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and tender with a tasty sweet glaze. The greens were also on point - lots of bacon pieces and a sweet/spicy taste. Lunch came with a large crispy hush puppy. With tip - lunch was $50. A bit pricey - I don't mind paying top dollar for a top quality meal and service. Well done Jonah's!

    A lot of hype. A LOT .... Lines around the block for this place. My wife's whole family raves…read moreabout it. I have heard about this place for years and finally braved the lines. 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.
