About Johnston's Saltbox

Johnston's Saltbox is a hidden gem located at the end of a quiet street in sleepy San Carlos, on the corner of Laurel and St. Francis. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and offers a limited menu of innovative and seasonally done New American cuisine, featuring local ingredients. Their brunch includes fresh baked scones, which are a standout item that many customers love. The dinner menu caters to all tastes, showcasing unique seasonal dishes and fantastic drinks. The outdoor patio is lovely, providing a great shady spot for enjoying meals on warm California days, making it perfect for bringing pets and catching up with friends.

The fried chicken sandwich is a favorite, with flavors that complement each other while taking some risks. Customers have praised the service as top-notch and friendly, creating a welcoming environment. There is a cozy indoor area along with a large outdoor eating space. Some dishes, like the ribeye burger, could use a bit more seasoning, but the overall experience is positive. Johnston's Saltbox is a great neighborhood spot with delicious rotating menu options and healthy choices, making it a wonderful choice any day of the week. While it may not always be mind-blowing, it consistently offers something new and different, ensuring that guests are pleasantly surprised by their eclectic offerings.
