    Food and service was great and fairly priced. The dining room itself though was very brisk and windy every time someone opened the door. I understand this is only a problem during colder months, but I don’t know if the curtains are the best solution. Danita (?) was our server and she was fantastic!

    Food was delicious!! Our waitress, Anita was great. We had a small room off the larger front room, which was wonderful because the front room was a little noisy. Already looking forward to going back!!

    Our experience at The Salty Sow was great! Server was very attentive and food came out very prompt and was high quality. Truffle Deviled Eggs are a must! Farm salad was packed full of fresh flavors. Highly recommended!

    The food was tired and unimaginative. Pork belly not crunchy and tough. Appetizer was like melted cheese on a hamburger bun. The baguette seemed old . Great service. Good cocktail.

    Sow is almost always a very good experience. Staff is always friendly and helpful, and the food is consistently good. Parking a bit of a pain if crowded is the only downside.
    The Salty SowResponded on January 12, 2025
    Thank you for your review, Chris! Feedback like this is what keeps us working hard here. I'm so sorry about the parking. Being that we have such a small parking lot, we are trying to cut down on people who are not Salty Sow guests using our lot. It's why we implemented the cameras in the parking lot. Hopefully, we will see that work soon, and that will free up spots for actual Salty Sow guests. Thank you again! We look forward to your next visit. - Grace, GM

    Fantastic dinner here. Parking available, promptly greeted and seated; our waiter was excellent, made sure we were aware of HH specials and cut-off for ordering from that menu. Both apps we ordered were great, as was the Redfish Anna with lump crab. The fish was a pricey fish but the portion size and quality of the fish, crab and delicious sauce made it more than worthwhile. Highly recommend!!

    Thank you so much, Marilyn! The Texas Redfish Anna is actually one of our newer menu items, so I'm happy to see that guests are enjoying it. We look forward to your next visit. - Grace, GM
