Sassy Onion

Sassy Onion is a family-run American breakfast and lunch restaurant known for its French toast, chicken fried steak and gluten-free options. The menu includes eggs Benedict with a crab cake option, breakfast burritos, skillets, burgers and salads, and the restaurant says it has a dedicated gluten-free fryer. The second-generation family owners describe the place as a casual, welcoming spot for everyone from solo diners to large groups.

The restaurant serves dine-in and takeout, and it also offers delivery and online ordering through its website and app. Large and private groups can be accommodated for birthdays, reunions and corporate events. There are two Salem locations, one on State Street and one on Market Street NE, and both are open for breakfast and lunch every day.
