Went for dinner on Sunday 11/17. Food was delicious and service was amazing. I didnt get a picture but the cheese dip was phenomenal. I forgot our server’s name unfortunately, but he was awesome. He made sure we had everything we needed and our food came out perfectly. Really good service! Two managers came to check on us as well. You really don’t see that much anymore! We really enjoyed our experience, and we will be back. Thank you all for a nice night out :)

Edit: Took off a star. Second time here, keep getting bad seating arrangements, maybe because we're only two people, but last time we got seats right where the servers are bustling to get their receipts, this second time around we got a table right in front of the kitchen where servers were coming in and out and I had to keep ducking because servers with big loaded trays would just walk with it right over our heads. It really was uncomfortable. On coming in, they always ask if you have a reservation! Looks like that's recommended to have. Our server was wonderful, did everything right and even boxed our leftovers for us! The steak is delicious, so is the mashed potatoes! My SO gives it an emphatic five stars, he loved the food. Called it "a Ruth Chris with Texas Roadhouse prices".

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. There's rustic cowboy art, there's a fireplace, and horn chandeliers. I ordered the Texas T-Bone steak and flash fried green beans. The steak was cooked to temp but was really lacking flavor. My green beans had more flavor than my steak. The rangler appetizers are so delicious though. I think they were the best thing we had. They're basically shrimp stuffed into a jalapeno popper and fried crispy.

Cozy fireplace, great food. I asked for medium rare and they actually did that! Great job! The crab topping on the steak was phenomenal. The cheesecake was just meh. But definitely going back!

The ambiance is delightful and exudes a charming old western aesthetic. The staff demonstrated exceptional attentiveness and offered valuable recommendations that contributed to a truly enjoyable dining experience. The food, as anticipated from Salt Grass, was absolutely remarkable. Having visited five of their locations, I can confidently affirm that they consistently deliver exceptional culinary experiences.

Nothing to write home about. Our best item was the crab cake appetizer. Wife's filet was undercooked my ribeye was over cooked. Wait staff was nice but un attentive. Came by the table a couple of times and never offered to refill my water that had been empty since the appetizer. We made reservations but got sat outside the bar rail and the entire night the bar staff thought they needed to break everything they through in the trash. The restaurant is super loud and they added the sound of piercing glass. While the food wasn't bad just not a place to frequent.

This was our third time here…. I always tip $20 or more, the waitress we had this time did not make our trip go well, there were a couple things that bothered us about her but the main thing, was the COUGHING, if a server/waitress has a “cough” they should have to mandatory immediately put on a mask on entering the building, and she wasn’t bothered by it at all, she would cough and keep talking

Our second time there and everything was great just like the first time! It was pretty busy on a Saturday night but we waited about 45 minutes to be seated. It was worth it. Staff works well together to keep customers happy. We love it!
