Ordered Uber eats delivery and not at all impressed with food. For starters we ordered two salads and neither came with dressing. My wife ordered salmon, medium rare…. It was well done and tasted strange. She also ordered a sweet potato which was not included in our order. I ordered an 11oz filet, medium rare. It was cooked medium rare, but somehow tasted burnt and tasted like it had zero seasoning. Not impressed at all with the food.

Salt grass..I've never had a bad experience here. We were there celebrating the comedian Nikki Coleman's birthday. We had 2 servers and they were great. Food came out hot and good. I was impressed at how they handled us. I felt like I was cheating on Longhorn Steakhouse...lol!

Food was really good. The tortilla soup was amazing with great bold flavors. The tacos were so good also you could taste the lightness but filling. Server was absolutely amazing he was attentive to our group of 10 very well. He even was given a “surprise me” order and did excellent

Our waiter was Shawn, and he was incredibly attentive. He visited us often enough to ensure our satisfaction with all facets of our meal.
Our party of five was seated upon arrival and greeted by Shawn within the first 20 seconds. I ordered two drinks from the bar, an Aviation and tonic and a midnight rider. The g&t was properly balanced. The midnight rider was a treat: Templeton midnight whiskey, bitters, apple infused simple syrup and garnished with a freeze dried, cinnamon sugar topper apple slice. Highly recommended as a nice accompaniment to sip while enjoying a rare steak.
Appetizers were onion straws and loaded cheese fries. Light and crispy, the onion straws are exactly what you would expect, nothing more or less. The cheesy potato concoction was constructed of home fries, a departure from the crinkle or shoestring options normally in the starters realm. Jack and Cheddar, bacon, sour cream, the normal fare. I will note that it was served VERY hot, so it actually did not coalesce into a cheesy monstrosity after 10 minutes like in some instances. Also, the Shiner bread loaves are delicious.
For the main, my wife chose the t bone, cooked perfectly mooing rare. lightly over seasoned on the plate but otherwise top notch. It also reheated even better the next day and the seasoning was no longer over the top. Her baked potato was excellent, fully dressed, skin lightly crispy and properly seasoned.
My children, as usual, came to a steakhouse and ordered burgers. My youngest was thrilled with his patty melt. It was a massive sandwich from my vantage point. The elder son went with a grilled chicken sandwich, and he really enjoyed it; but he filled up on apps so the equally sizable sandwich traveled home with us. The young lady of the family had a completely not carnivorous dinner salad, rocking balsamic vinaigrette that was both filling and satisfying. The kid set was very pleased with their food, but even more happy with Shawn's service, hitting the mark on refills and engaging them in conversation throughout our meal
A departure from the usual, i opted for a rare 9oz filet mignon, smothered with Bleu cheese bacon butter. I'm normally queueing up a ribeye, but i pivoted to part from predictability. I was quite thrilled with the result, i think my choice of topping was probably a bit heavy for the filet, but it was not a detriment, rather a slightly uneven balance to the otherwise very tender, and well prepared. Live and learn. I don't often venture on to the filet lines of the menu, and when i do, i need to recall that the tenderloin cut packs a lot of punch and adding a heavy flavor like bleu cheese might detract. I think my adventures to the tenderloin should rely instead on the chef to prepare it in the most suitable manner and leave my meddling aside. I chose asparagus as my side, and was gifted 8 or 10 stalks of deliciously smoky charred buttery goodness.
We did not stray into dessert land, but left more than satisfied with the meal. This location has been the consistently superior of the several we've visited around Austin. We have made a note that when we're not dressed for or interested in dropping 5 bills on a fine dinner at Perry's that the kids won't thoroughly enjoy anyway, Saltgrass consistently exceeds our expectations and everyone leaves thrilled with the experience.

I was craving a chopped steak. I went in late afternoon on Sunday. I sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly enough and made me a nice Tito’s martini. I got the chopped steak with a grilled onion and mushroom in a cognac sauce topper. Baked potato soup and steamed broccoli. The soup was pretty good not too creamy and chunks of potato. The broccoli was perfectly steamed. The steak. Ehhkkk! It was really weirdly chewy and the sauce was SO salty that it made me wince even after trying to scrape it off. So so salty. I could not eat even 1/2. When the bartender asked how my meal was I let them know about it being disappointing. They told me next time I should order something else. No kidding.

This is a Great place! Always have awesome food. Always have awesome service. I've been here like 10 times and it's always fantastic! If I can take the saltgrass kitchen to my house and fill it with their staff I'd never have to go to saltgrass again. But that kind of isn't how things work so I will continue going to saltgrass.

This is their grilled chicken salad. I requested for the bacon to be removed. They got it right the first time! Most waiters/waitresses get this wrong. But, it's maybe not their fault —blame it on the cook. ?

This is a place where you can taste American steak.
It's delicious. It was the first place I ate here when I came to the US, but I visited again after a long time. Since it is a chain store, I think you can visit it anywhere in Texas. Fried mushrooms are great as a side dish for beer. he
