    Excellent food and service! The only disappointing part was the GM deciding we were going to be seated outside. 80 and muggy is not my first choice for eating, especially when there were plenty of open tables inside. Definitely wouldn't want to risk being sat outside if it was even hotter!

    I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed your food and service! I'm so sorry to hear that you were uncomfortable though. I wish I would have known. We would have been happy to move tables if availability allowed. I've added a note to your profile that you prefer to sit inside now moving forward. That way, we always know to save a table inside for you. We look forward to your next visit! - Grace, GM

    I've been to Salty Sow a few times when I have a craving for southern food, and they never disappoint! I came recently for their HH (4:30pm-6:30pm during the week) and it's always worth the deals. Of course their rosemary honey dipped fried chicken is amazing, along with the biscuit it's served with. I love how filling the pork belly taco is, and you can't go to Salty Sow without getting their triple fried duck fries. They also have really good cocktails, and I enjoy how they have rotating delay specials/seasonal specials. Such a great place to go to!

    The food was pretty greasy. The waiter was confused about the two for one entree promotion.

    the restaurant "inside" is crazy hot. The AC was set to 69 but clearly was not cooling. I hesitate to go back again in the summer.
