Terrible.
Food was cold, nobody checked in once our food arrived, and we were seated for 20 minutes before anyone came to take a beverage or food order.
The “AAA beef burger” was dry, overcooked, and resembled a 2 day old McDonald’s happy meal burger.

We sat down for a nice supper, at first costumer service was great. We ordered our food and drinks all was well. Although once we finished our drinks we waited about 35 minutes until someone finally got us some more drinks. The server didn’t check up on us and we had to call her over after waiting so long for drinks just to tell her we wanted them. We ordered two more drinks and two glasses of water. She came back with one of the drinks wrong and said are you okay with this drink which it wasn’t what I had ordered so I asked for what I ordered. We never got our waters.

Food was good, although I don’t believe it was worth the price it cost! :)

The food was nothing to write home about. Over priced. An hour and hafe to get our meal. Didn't realize they had to go catch to fish before it was cooked. Wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone....even people I don't like. Fortunately the lady serving us was pleasant.

Great food, amazing service. Love the decor on the walls. It was extremely busy while we were in town, and they worked extremely hard to get you seated and taken care of. It was a great choice for food burgers ? ? ?!

Salt House Kitchen in St. John's is a delightful spot that perfectly blends casual comfort with delicious food. Their dog-friendly patio makes it an ideal choice for those traveling with furry companions, a rarity in many Newfoundland establishments.

We visited on a sunny Sunday in mid-August and were pleasantly surprised by their brunch offerings. The Smoked Salmon Benedict was a standout, with perfectly poached eggs and a generous serving of flavorful smoked salmon. The Basic Breakfast was a classic comfort food option, executed with care.

One of the highlights of our visit was the unbeatable drink specials. The $5 beer and $6 wine deals were a fantastic way to enjoy a leisurely brunch.

Salt House Kitchen has a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. While their brunch menu shines, they also offer a variety of other dishes, including burgers, tacos, and seafood options.

If you're seeking a dog-friendly restaurant in St. John's with delicious food and a relaxed vibe, Salt House Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. Be sure to check their social media for any updates on their specials and hours of operation.

We were excited for fish and chips on our first day in NL and were thoroughly disappointed. Soggy fries swimming in grease like they didn’t let them drain before plating. The fish had potential but came cold and mushy, although the batter was crispy. We told the server and the remedy was to bring us 3 new pieces of fish at the end of the meal. IMO fried fish is not something i would take home and reheat. The staff tried but just missed the mark on this one with the server being a bit huffy.
Great atmosphere, nice street side seating.

We stood by counter when we arrived for 5 minutes waiting to be seated as servers walked past us multiple times. I had to stop one of them and ask where we could sit. When seated, they forgot about us and it was 15 minutes before we got up and told them we were eating to be served. Took another 30 to get food and wasn’t busy. We asked to ensure we weren’t forgotten again.

The food was ok. Burger was in a cheap bun but was good. Fries didn’t taste like anything.
Also had to get up and find server for additional drinks.

Atmosphere was very nice.

Won’t be returning.
