I like Salty Sow. It has a lot going for it, but there are issues.
The good? I love the atmosphere and the décor. I especially like it when live music is being played. A great vibe. Service is solid. No water glass will go unfilled in my experience. Reasonably priced happy hour apps...
The bad? Servers aren't particularly helpful with recommendations. Specials of the day are plopped on the table. The menu does have fun moments and is not totally dependent on pork, but liking pork helps. Descriptions tend to be more appealing than what is actually served. A happy hour app taco served this visit was among the grossest fluid filled messes I've ever experienced in a restaurant. A doble cheeseburger had mass quantities of beef, but not much in the way of flavor. And so it goes. If the food was served in a different environment you would think it was very pricey for what it was.
Will I return? Yes, on a Thursday... when music is playing. Alcoholic consumption also enhances the experience. Perhaps the Yelp average of four stars is right, but I can't get that taco out of my mind. Oh yes. The duck fat fries. They are good, but in the end they're just above average French fries.
