    We’ve been Salty Sow patrons for years. Last night, we deviated from our regular menu favorites and ordered the specials. Both the cod and the pork chop were superb!! It’s our #1 favorite restaurant in Austin.

    Off the beaten path and so worth the trip. Food is absolutely delicious and comes to the table in what I can describe as perfect timing. Not too quick, not too slow. Just right. Nicely presented. Service is very good. Not only from the servers but the managers come by to check in and make sure it’s all going great for you.I ordered the Brussels sprouts Caesar. I’m an expert Caesar salad consumer. This one is in the top 5. Perfectly executed and a generous portion.Could have had that alone. But I had the pork carnitas. The hominy and the sauce were outstanding. The pickled red onions were perfect and the meat was beautifully seasoned and cooked to absolute tenderness. Avocado was the final touch. Would definitely go back to eat the same dishes again although I’ll likely order something else because I’m curious. My son ordered the fries and ate them before I had a chance to try them. Everything exceeded my expectations.Would highly recommend. The menu is simple and lovely.Hope to be back soon.

    The food was great and the server brought us complimentary champagne to toast our nephew's engagement. I only wish that we were told how big the salads were - we definitely would have split the delicious brussels sprouts caesar salad! A very good experience for our first time in Austin!

    We are guilty of generous portion sizes. Hope to see you next time you're in town. -Mason Popp
