Sassy Onion Market Street — Restaurant in Salem

At first I was frustrated. A server was just coming back to the counter to check people out. I understand that but it would have been nice to have been acknowledged. Even just a "hi there! Ill be with you in just a few" We waited 10 minutes before anyone asked us if we'd been helped. That aside. Once we were seated, the service was wonderful. My kiddo even got to pick a car to play with and take home. I was dining with my 6 year old. I got the country fried steak (with extra Gravy. It's who I am. I can't help it). And he got the single pancake with bacon. I got coffee and he asked for lemonade. I was stoked that we had our own water carafe. And then my own coffee pitcher. And let me just say. The coffee was delicious. Like so incredibly good. The menu says the lemonade is made inhouse and the taste reflects that. It was really tasty and perfectly balanced. Our food arrived and I loved everything. I just wish I'd known the bacon was pepper covered as neither of us are fans Next time I will know to ask for no pepper. The country fried steak was cooked so perfectly and the breading was delicate but not. Just amazing. My eggs were cooked exactly how I asked them to be as well. The sourdough toast?!? Like it just kept getting better. I also tasted my kiddos pancake, and wow. It was really delicious as well. So glad that we tried a new breakfast spot. We will...

I had to try this location and was VERY curious as to what they kept from their catering small buisness days. We had the buisquits and gravy, side of bacon and eggs...bacon was great, gravy was bland but good, buisquit was heavy even though looked light. Overall not what I thought it would be at all. We also had the fresh bread (very good), homemade strawberry jam (tart but good). The chicken fried steak...super thick, breading was sliding off of it and bland. My eggs were scrambled but runny...ewww. When asked how things were, I told Bryce (a HUGE asset to this buisness) and he had them make me done ones and, brought them wile they were hot. The farmers breakfast has some brat looking sausages and they have good flavor but fatty. Orange juice was real stuff. Water is not filtration so seriouse chlorine taste.

Overall for me this was a upper diner like experience. It was not what I thought it would be for being a sassy onion buisness branch. Solid diner food, bland but, great employees.

Side note Carry cash tip... They require the wait staff to tip out a solid 3% of sales (I personally don't agree with that, specially since my eggs were a runy mess) so even if you get great service and your food isn't correct....tip repremanding dosent work. The waiter still has to tip out. Now if you personally tip the Indevidual, they are...

We have been trying to find a really good local restaurant in Salem since we moved here. I read an article and the reviews on this place and we decided to give it a try. First off parking is a bit of an issue when this place is busy as it shares the parking lot. Then we were told it would 45 minutes to be seated and about 20 minutes for our food. That's fine we decided to wait and give this place a try.

Once seated our waitress Christen D. Greeted us. Service was great.

Now on to our order. My husband decided to try the biscuits and gravy meal. The eggs were cooked and came out hot. The sausage was also hot and tasty. His biscuits were nice and fluffy but as stated in other reviews his gravy was meh. I ordered the corned beef hash and poached eggs. It was delicious if you like corned beef hash go with this.

Now for the bad The French toast . It was as dry as the Sahara desert. The toast did not soak in the custard long enough. I feel sad as after reading all the reviews I was expecting some awesome French toast. Guess I got the whammy. My suggestion is if you like dry crunchy French toast order this. Otherwise pick...
