This has to be one of the absolute best experiences I've ever had dining out. Jennifer (Sparkles) is such a phenomenal waitress. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and charismatic. Honestly, the food was just a bonus! Lol my husband and I were celebrating our 12 year anniversary. We both had steaks and the accompanying sides and an appetizer and dessert. We left absolutely stuffed!

I recently visited Saltgrass Steak House based on strong recommendations from my wife and brother-in-law, and I’m pleased to say they were absolutely right. This is a fantastic spot to enjoy a high-quality steak. Despite the parking lot being full when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the service. We were greeted by a friendly host and seated within minutes, even with the bustling crowd inside. Our group of four found the table a bit small, but it worked out just fine. Our waitress was exceptional—super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We started with warm, soft bread paired with butter that had a unique, mildly sweet flavor. It was a delightful way to begin our dining experience. For appetizers, we ordered the crab cakes and the chips and dip, both of which were excellent. Our main courses arrived faster than expected, and everything looked as delicious as it tasted. The steaks were cooked to perfection, exceeding my expectations in both flavor and tenderness. Even the kids loved their meals, which is always a plus. We appreciated the refillable drinks, and the fact that we could take our beverages and any leftovers with us was a nice touch. Overall, Saltgrass Steak House turned out to be an outstanding place to dine, and I’m already looking forward to our next visit. This is definitely a spot I would recommend to anyone looking for a great steak experience.

Great service and great atmosphere. Can be hard to get a seat sometimes so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time just in case. The food was great, although a bit on the undercooked end from what I’m used to so that was a bit of a bummer. Still, very delicious though. I would visit again.

Everything was cooked to perfection! We weren't even able to eat our main course because we were full by just the appetizers. The food did take a lot longer than normal, but the staff did explain why and they had let us know in a timely manner.

Thank you for putting on a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. Our family got spread all around this year and going out to eat just made more sense. The food was very good, the service was excellent. Thank you for being open that day. We can’t thank you enough.

This is very good environment. The food was great service was great the two times we have been seated at booths they needed a little extra attention in the cleaning after previous guest other than that we eat here quite alot and haven’t been disappointed with the food and service not once!

Hadn’t ever been to Saltgrass was quite good for lunch. Was very crowded our hostess assisted the waitress getting drink orders and served bread. Waitress was very busy but, attentive. All our meals were enjoyable.

Our person Gil gave us a great recommendation. We had blackened redfish topped with crab meat and shrimp. The chef team was as good as chef Ramsey's, Hells Kitchen. Our person service was excellent
