    Had the best brunch this weekend. The small plates all sound too good too choose one.The popovers and cinnamon rolls are delicious. The f&d benny was a favorite and washed it all down with the blueberry and oj mimosa. Definitely will back for the biscuits, crepes, pancakes and fried chicken biscuits!

    Wonderful food and service! It was a little bit noisy but not overbearing. The two-person tables are a little bit cramped together. But the food was delicious and well-seasoned. The butter cake dessert was fantastic as well. Our server was very attentive and upbeat. Overall a great experience that made for a wonderful date night - we 100% would go again.

    Fantastic Galentine's Girls' Night at Salty Sow! My friends and I had a wonderful evening at Salty Sow! From start to finish, everything was spot on—the food, the ambiance, and the service. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs, which were creamy, flavorful, and the perfect bite to start the meal. The BBQ brisket croquettes were a standout—crispy on the outside, tender and smoky on the inside, with just the right balance of richness. For dessert, we couldn't resist the bananas foster, and it did not disappoint! The caramelized bananas and creamy ice cream made for the perfect sweet ending. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a fun and relaxed girls' night out. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    Had a wonderful early dinner with friends before attending Jersey Boys at the Zach Scott Theatre. The food and service were excellent as always. Our friends, here for the first time, loved their pecan crusted chicken and pasta.
