The waiter kept insisting on ordering this Octopus pasta...ended up ordering it.... was so greasy and drenched in olive oil and butter that it was almost inedible. Also as soon as we were eating, they wanted to kick us out. Terrible food and service.

What a gem. Here from out of town on a business trip. The service was amazing starting with the hosts and even the bussers. Bonnie took great care of me and Peter, the manager was so welcoming. Highly recommend the beef shoulder! Wow!

The Caesar salad was amazing! I ordered the burger and to be honest, it was over cooked and priced too high.

Came here with my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day and we were blown away by the service. I’ve been here before with my family so I knew the food was incredible but our server John’s recommendations and commitment to us having a great dining experience was what made our night. I’ve worked in upscale dining for many years and I always strive to be like him for our guests! I know I already said I wasn’t surprised by the food being good- but my boyfriend ordered the redfish (one of the more expensive dishes at $38 dollars) and was completely blown away! I never justify ordering the pricier dishes on any menu so believe me when I say this was truly worth every cent. We also had the mussels and the braised beef shoulder and loved every bite!
Have to share our incredible private dining experience at Salty Sow! We had a team dinner and wanted a space where we could have conversation and still enjoy a tasty mean. Salty Sow not only made the entire booking experience smooth, they were open to serving their full menu to give the team variety, and gave us a quiet space to chat for a couple hours!
The recommendations were exceptional - flavor and quantities to order so that everyone at the table had an opportunity to enjoy a variety of items! I highly recommend the bone marrow, deviled eggs, and duck fat fries as appetizers. Three cheers to the corn, brussels sprouts, and broccolini. Empty plates all around especially for the chicken thighs and catfish tacos.
Last recommendation: do not leave without trying Bees Knees! What a retro classic brought up to modern perfection. Thank you Salty Sow for your hospitality. We'll be back!

Amazing service - waitstaff was friendly and more than happy to answer questions and cater to our groups needs. Food was great as well - so much flavor and the crispness of the fried chicken was outstanding. The truffled deviled eggs were the best thing we ordered, highly recommend!
The Bartenders are amazing!!! Perfect old fashions.
Primas our server was a very kind sole! Such a great person to talk to.
We only had the French fries and they were terrific. Maple glazed old fashioned ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our reservation was for 8:45 but we were told when we walked in that the kitchen closes at 8:45. Luckily, we arrived a little early and got a food order in. However we were rushed through out the whole experience and ended up ordering and spending a lot less than we would have if we were not rushed by the staff. They should not take 8:45 reservations if that's the time they are getting to close the kitchen. Also, one vegetarian alternative “Main” dish would be welcome
Great happy hour experience as always. Our server Ella was awesome and made our anniversary celebration very special.

We love Salty Sow! Their happy hour is great but dinner is also well priced and delicious. Some of our faves are the catfish tacos, the fried chicken, and the deviled eggs. Don’t miss the frozen blood orange margs!
The food and the service were outstanding. I recommend the slow cooked pork with jalapenos and red onions. The portions were generous. The drinks were good and didn't skimp on the alcohol. The beignets were delicious. We arrived at 4:30 when they opened and there was plenty of parking. But to my surprise on a Wednesday night the place filled quickly and the parking lot was packed when we left.
Salty Sow has some great looking menu options, but we didn't pick those, unfortunately. We did take advantage of the BOGO offer, so it wasn't as expensive, but still almost $100 for a Tuesday night dinner for two. The honey rosemary chicken was swimming in a sweet glaze that was insipid and kind of ruined the accompanying biscuit. The steak pomme frites had a perfectly cooked and seasoned ribeye, the duck fat fries were not, and tasted like they were prepared in an old Jack in the Box fryer. I really enjoyed my black walnut old-fashioned, but the nacho Cuba libre mocktail was undrinkable for my friend. Lots of chatter amongst the staff about being short two servers, but the management made a valiant effort to pick up the slack, and really took care of us when we changed the mocktail drink to soda pop. We were glad to be out and about before the storm, and maybe it was just a vulnerable night with all of the call-outs. Thanks for having us!
Our daughter had given us a gift certificate to this restaurant awhile back. We returned this weekend and it was still every bit as good. The Brussel sprouts were the best I've had. Great food and cocktails. Nice service too.

we arrived during happy hour and ordered from that menu. The chicken moose was very good and the friend chicken was excellent. Finally our server was terrific. Good time.
