    Salty Sow is one of my top 5 places to dine in Austin. I’ve been eating here randomly for years now and the service and food are always consistent. Great happy hour! Dining indoors or outdoors is comfortable year round which can be difficult in Texas summers but they do it right. Coming from someone who has worked in the service industry for many years it’s nice to see how well the staff works together. You can tell hospitality is a focus! From a date night, special occasion, or group gathering you will be well taken care of. Be sure to try the beef shoulder, it’s my favorite!

    The desserts "sweets" were definitely the highlight. Unfortunately, our dinner wasn't as good as our previous visit. The biscuits were dry and small, one of my tacos was the incorrect taco, and the pork carnitas was swimming in the beans. I'm glad that the beignet were fantastic and the meal was not a total miss.

    The consistent quality and service are outstanding at Salty Sow. A can’t miss happy hour gives the opportunity to inexpensively try some standout food on the cheap. The pork belly taco is simply amazing. Love this place! You must try the bananas foster beignets, best dessert in Austin. And I don’t even like bananas!

    Loved the back room that they sat us in, perfect for an intimate dinner. The drinks were good (gin and Moscow mule). The Cesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. The deviled eggs were by far the worst thing we had. Not much flavor. The red fish and wagyu burger were both phenomenal. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

    Our waiter, Scott, was outstanding and offered great recommendations! The instructions on the GPS can be a little tricky since the roads are complex in the area, so it is important to pay attention when you are closer to the restaurant. Good amount of parking, but the lighting in the parking lot is low and dim.

    We thought the ambience was great! Definitely Austin! The cocktails were wonderful. Our experience with the food was not great. Completely understand that things happen when a restaurant is busy, but it seemed like when we commented on what we thought, when asked, it was not taken well. Service definitely changed after that. Three of the four dishes we ordered were extremely salty….not just a little, a lot. Definitely the salty sow.

    Overall, everything was very good, except for it took us forever… I mean like 45 minutes to get our food. This was because only one person at our table, ordered a salad and had decided to wait for us to get our food before we all eat at the same time. Once the salad was brought out, we were all just waiting for food for 45 minutes And getting extremely hungry. Finally, I was able to talk to a waitress and asked if it was going to be much longer, and she said she didn’t put the food order in yet because she was waiting for the one person to eat the salad. We all were in shock because she never asked us , if she should bring out the salad with the other food or wait or anything… There was no communication. But other than that little snafu, the food was amazing and I definitely recommend getting a reservation.

    We shared many appetizers.! Best deviled eggs ever. The truffle flavor was unbelievable. Tater Tots with thin sliced bbq meat was so unusual, and outstanding. Fried chicken with biscuit, was tender, with a slight sweet sauce was a perfect compliment. Pork taco was also excellent. Every item was better than the next. These were some of the best appetizers, flavors, quality food in Austin. We're excited to go back and have dinner. The service was outstanding. Our waiter knew every item, described them perfect and was spot on with all is recommendations. You will not be disappointed with the food, service, quality for the price. Highly recommend. Still licking my lips for the truffle deviled eggs.

    Incredible place! Was in town for the Grand Prix and we had seen this place talked about in multiple food guides. Old fashioneds are my favorite cocktail and the maple glazed old fashioned was amazing. Probably could’ve had 10 of them. We had the truffled deviled eggs and the roasted bone marrow to start. Pretty sure my dad wanted to take the bone under the table after that one. Had 2 of their specials: the Scottish quail eggs and the duck tongue fried rice. Super creative dishes and man they were unreal. The fried rice was probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. They had a very innovative menu and it was really refreshing. Must try 10/10!!

    We had a lovely experience (as usual). Always love the happy hour- the duck fat fries and Brussels sprouts are an Austin staple for me. Jonas was a fabulous and attentive server who made the experience special and went above and beyond by bringing us birthday champagne to go with a cake my friend brought. I will definitely be back, hopefully soon.

    We had a fabulous dinner on October 21 prior to the Chris Stapleton concert. Our waiter was fantastic and gave wonderful recommendations. We had a great little table that we could see the action but not in the immediate traffic flow. We had truffle deviled eggs and biscuits to start. Super yummy start with a Live Oak Oaktoberfest beer. We shared a red snapper with quinoa/lentil and smoky creamy sauce. Wonderful ample for sharing piece of perfectly cooked fish! Ended the mean with the banana foster beignets. Amazingly delicious OG item for the Salty Sow. I recommend highly.

    This was our first visit to the Salty Sow and while we enjoyed the food, the unfriendly attitude and unwelcoming service from our waiter combined with the mass amount of flies (at our table located inside) left us less impressed with the overall experience. The happy hour specials of duck fat fries, deviled eggs and all of the happy hour tacos were amazing. Honestly, we should have just ordered a few more tacos and called it a day but we wanted to try other items so we ordered from the regular menu also. I shared the grouper with my husband and we were not blown away. I would say other than the catfish tacos, you should probably avoid ordering fish. It honestly did not smell fresh. Another person in our party ordered a cheeseburger which they said was really good and the pork belly entre was good but not amazing. The collard greens have an unusual flavor and definitely not prepared in the traditional southern style. The broccolini is delicious. I would return for happy hour but would go ahead and sit outside since the inside is swarming with flies and if I return, I would hope to have a server who is at least slightly friendly, not the totally apathetic guy we had who treated us like our presence was an imposition.
