   Date night. Was surprised to find there was no “climate controlled” seating. They went to great lengths to add fans etc but hot is hot. My expectations were pretty high. Food was “meh”

   Wish I'd known they were out of the Wagyu beef cheeseburger before we went (a Tuesday evening). The waiter suggested the boneless pork chops, which were rather dry and a poor substitute for the juicy beef cheeseburger. Sides were excellent. The parking lot is nice, but if you arrive later, there is a problem finding a space. The outdoor area looked like fun, but not on this 98F evening. We sat indoors, and had a comfortable table in the front dining room. The charcuterie board was one of the best we've had - good value and lots of interesting flavors and textures. We plan on coming back for the happy hour to sample the $5 tacos.

   As always, the deviled eggs were a great starter. The slow cooked shoulder was delicious and our server was welcoming and knowledgeable.

   Good dining experience. Met some friends from out of town. Waiter made some arrangements to move us to a different table than we originally had, for general comfort, and that was much appreciated. Waiter was obviously a fan of the food and made good recommendations for food and drink. We got really caught up visiting and were among the last of the patrons to leave after closing, but never made to feel rushed to finish or leave.

   Had our first Salty Sow meal in over two years to celebrate an anniversary. As usual, the food was excellent, the service great, and the ambiance lovely. My only (minor) complaint is the wine list. We've had, in the past, really good, affordable reds by the glass but on this trip, after tasting two reds, elected to have a glass of white wine and a glass of sparkling rose. Not the end of the world but a little disappointing as we are typically red wine drinkers. I'm not sure at this point what "affordable" wine means in restaurant parlance but these seemed kind of expensive, especially for how they tasted (to us) - I know others would disagree. This will not keep us from coming back and our pre-dinner cocktail was delicious! Thank you, Salty Sow, for another great meal!

    Great dinner spot for a romantic date or group dinner. The inside consists of primarily bar height chairs, so be sure to mention special needs upon booking if needed. I would recommend the happy hour before 6:30. If you have kids the catfish taco and chicken is a HUGE hit - although not ideal kid friendly of an environment.

    Salty Sow is my favorite happy hour spot in Austin! The Brussels sprouts, truffled deviled eggs and duck fat fries should not be missed (although you can't go wrong with anything on the menu). Little Larry and Rosemary's Piglets have been my go-to drinks over the years. That said, I just discovered the Raspberry Mule on my latest visit and it might be my new favorite. You really can't beat this place. The service, food, drinks and ambience are consistently top notch.

    Good comfort food with a modern twist. Outside eating was good except the flies became a bit of a nuisance. Plus the condensation from the ice on the glass drips through the wood slats on the table. The tomato salad with chicken was really tasty and filling. The slow cooked beef shoulder was tender and something you'd get at your grandmother's house, delicious! The mac and cheese was fabulous and should definitely be ordered.

    We sat outside. It was 100 degrees in Austin that afternoon. Ventilation was very good and we were very comfortable. Service was prompt and attentive. We enjoyed all of food. The blood orange margarita with Marnier was a hghlight. We will definitely go back.

    Everything from the French charcuterie to the dessert is absolutely wonderful. I would come back to Austin just to eat at the Salty Sow. The only negative; the charcuterie was just dropped on our table, would have been helping if the runner explained the items on the board . The restaurant is also pretty warm in the summer.

    Service was great as was desert. Drinks were a little pricey but ok. Prok carnitas were too fatty and more like pork chop than shredded pork. Fried chicken was decent but not great and the gravy made the bottom soggy. Overall not bad but not the best honestly.

    We enjoyed our dinner at SS very much. The blackened redfish was one of the best seafood entrees I’ve had in a long time, and everyone else enjoyed their food as well. And even though we were sitting outside on an extremely hot day, the fans and evaporative coolers made it comfortable. We will be back!

    We had a large group dining to welcome new hires to our corporate team. The manager personally sat us at the table, even printed out branded place settings for our new employees we were celebrating! The service was great, and the food and cocktails were outstanding. Try the fish & chips or the beef shoulder. If you're dining in the summer, be aware that it is mostly outdoor seating, and the indoor area is not completely air conditioned.
