My wife and I have been frequenting Salt for years. In our opinion, Salt is one of the best, if not the best, restaurant in the RGV. We highly recommend Salt to any and all.

I’ve been to SALT about 20 times since it opened. I even hosted an office party there for 20. So I’ve spent some serious dime there and never been disappointed until my last dining experience. It was absolutely subpar and unacceptable. I have a feeling either the owner has taken his foot off the gas or whoever he has trusted to run the kitchen is slacking. Service and atmosphere were par for the course. The food was the real disappointment. The pork belly appetizer has always been a family favorite. This time, it was literally a 2 inch long piece of over-fried, totally dry pork belly on a piece of lettuce. That’s it. It used to be cubed with other cubed veggie and fruit ingredients. It was terrible. A McDonald’s chicken nugget on a piece of lettuce would have been better. I had the pork shank for dinner. It clearly had been cooked and then left in the fridge for several days. It too was dry, hard, and not anywhere near the standard of previous visits. Usually the meat just falls right off the bone; this time everything was hard as a bone. Maybe I just got unlucky or maybe they’re cutting corners. They certainly aren’t cutting corners on the prices. McAllen has plenty of new and nice restaurants popping up. If SALT intends to be competitive, they’ll need to step their game back up.

The food was delicious! My fiancé and I came to celebrate our anniversary together and we had a great time. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the current menu and very attentive to our needs. We tried the baked Alaska for dessert and were blown away with how good it was. The only thing I want to bring up was about my seat. There was a nail sticking out and I nicked myself a bit on my hand. I brought it up to our server and she was able to remove the damaged seat ASAP. Other than that it was a great experience!

El restaurante está bien ubicado, tiene estacionamiento (aunque es solo para 4 autos), la decoración es agradable, y la comida tiene buen sabor, temperatura y presentación. Del servicio no podemos decir lo mismo, por que el mesero fue poco atento e intolerable. Sugiero darle a los camareros un buen curso de atención al cliente, con esto el lugar estaría excepcional.

Great place, with great food and service, but this is the second time I've eaten there, and there are little gnats flying around in my food and in landing in my wine, and we are not eating outside. We are dining indoors. That needs to be addressed for such a nice restaurant.

Food was delicious. We had duck, quail, heritage tomatoes, grilled pear salad, spinach salad, corn chowder. Each dish was outstanding, especially the duck. Service was very good and friendly. Only suggestion for improvement: add a few more refreshing, upscale, non-alcoholic drinks. Fresh lemonade and sodas are available, but I would prefer a less sweet option before dinner.
