Reviews for Salty Sow in Austin, TX
We were recommended to this place by an old friend - she deemed it her absolute favorite restaurant in Austin. We would 100%... corroborate that! We got to sit outside in a large seating area that was protected by screens all the way around (no bugs!!). Wegot a couple appetizers and desserts, pictured below. Let me just start by saying their deviled eggs are literally the bestdeviled eggs I’ve ever had in my life! The Brussels sprouts were so sweet and yummy (just the leaves and crisped so nicely).We had a charcuterie board of lots of fancy meats and cheeses, followed by delectable desserts. The beignets are truly *chef’skiss*! Unfortunately I failed to get our server’s name but he was so kind and knowledgeable about the dishes. Whenever I’mback in Austin, I’m coming back to the Salty Sow! Read more
I've been a huge fan of this place for many years. The food is great, cocktails are pretty good too, service has always been... great, the atmosphere is nice, they have a great semi-outdoor area. Probably the best happy hour in town, and their deviledeggs, brussel sprouts leaves and liver mousse are to die for! Everything there has been consistent and well managed even throughthe pandemic, I give them huge props! Read more
Oh my gosh!! The food, drinks, service, and ambiance were all AMAZING! Brad was our waiter. He was fun, engaging and provided... great service. His recommendations for entree's was spot on! The chicken liver mousse was one of the best things I have evertried! Bananas Foster for dessert! Portion was so generous! Read more
My husband and I wanted to try a new American restaurant and found this place. The dishes are pretty unique and the service was... good. We made reservations 40 minutes before we arrived on a weekday. The Candied Pork Belly was so tender and seasoned toperfection and the Red Fish Special was really good. The Duck Fat fries were okay but loved the Brussel Sprouts appetizer(it’s just the leaves)! Good experience overall. Read more
Overall the food was very good. Went with friends & we enjoyed the Red Trout & the banana dessert the most! ???? Even though... the restaurant was super busy our waiter Kyle did an awesome job & went above and beyond to make sure we felt like we were beingserved! Not very sure about the candied pork belly though… My friend got it before and said it was super good, perfectlysweet & savory. But today it was very, very salty. ???? However, still 5 stars because of the excellent customer service! Read more
Really enjoyed the service here. There were some fun cocktails and delicious apps as well. I did not enjoy the 3 filet dish. It... was overcooked which is workable, but the salt was overkill. Unfortunately most of my group did not enjoy their dinnerseither. Would love to stop in here for bites and drinks if there was bar, but there is no bar here. Great staff Read more
Super delicious food, I got to try the pork belly which was super well balanced with the acidity in the collard greens with the... fattiness from the pork belly. The triple fried duck fat fries had an Sharon’s texture but I could have used a little salt onmine. My favorite were the banana beignet fosters for dessert! I would go back just for those. Service was good. Read more
The Salty Sow is a very cool place that I visited while in Austin during their Happy Hour. I loved that I was able to taste... multiple items from their menu at a reduced price. My favorite was the Honey Rosemary Dipped Fried Chicken. The chicken wasbursting with flavor, crisp on the outside and extremely tender on the inside. The Pork Belly Taco felt as if the richingredients were competing with one another. I did not like it. The Truffled Deviled Eggs with Bacon and Chives were creamy andflavorful. Absolutely delicious! I couldn’t get enough of the Duck Fat Fries and had to hold myself back from ordering asecond round. They were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great. The whole staff was friendly and the Manager stopped byour table to make sure we were enjoying our food and drinks. We sat on the patio and really enjoyed the fun, spiritedenvironment. This is definitely a place to check out! Read more
