    Delicious farm to table experience. The pimento cheese toast and the smoked chicken were next level!

    SS has been on our restaurant list for years and finally made a priority to visit with dear friends from out of state. Regretfully, we have waited too long to visit this incredible restaurant. Quaint, Austin vibe. We had a super attentive server (I can’t recall her name) who is only been with the restaurant a couple of months. She was absolutely a gem and took great care of us. My only feedback would be the brussels sprouts. Very tasty however it needs something to help bind the shreds together. Just makes it easier to gobble these yummy morsels up. We will be back again and again.

    Food and service were great. Layout was a bit quirky. Parking was annoying having to go back to my car to get my car license to enter into the parking app. At least I know this for next time.

    All of the food we had was incredible. Drinks were good but definitely don’t try to order off the menu. I ordered a gin martini and it came with no garnish, was not well balanced and not served in a chilled glass. The disappointing part of our experience was the lack of execution when it came to dietary needs. The staff confirmed multiple times that they acknowledged one of us was a pescatarian. When it came time to order food, the server recommended a wedge salad but failed to ensure that the bacon was left off. The server came 5 minutes after our food was dropped off to warn about bacon being on the salad which was very odd considering he assured us he was aware off the dietary restrictions while we ordered food. That said, I was a little surprised that the server didn’t apologize and no manager came over to check on us after the mishap. Overall, the experience was fine but the food was really what shined.

    Salty Sow's dinner selection and ambience are one-of-a-kind. If you get there a bit early their happy hour is bar none - and includes the bar. Every dish from beef shoulder with carrots and mashed potatoes to their signature duck egg fries is delicious. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic Galentine's Girls' Night at Salty Sow! My friends and I had a wonderful evening at Salty Sow! From start to finish, everything was spot on—the food, the ambiance, and the service. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs, which were creamy, flavorful, and the perfect bite to start the meal. The BBQ brisket croquettes were a standout—crispy on the outside, tender and smoky on the inside, with just the right balance of richness. For dessert, we couldn't resist the bananas foster, and it did not disappoint! The caramelized bananas and creamy ice cream made for the perfect sweet ending. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a fun and relaxed girls' night out. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    It was very good food! However, the waiter charged us incorrect despite us mentioning what special we were interested in. Was clearly on purpose so be sure to check your bill
