This is the second time we've eaten here. Both 5 star meals. Both times, waitstaff have been friendly and knowledgeable about their menu items. The fried rib and stuff jalapeños appetizers were both very good. I had the two pork chops. They were excellent. This is about the cleanest restaurant you'll ever dine in. The waitress was continually removing dirty plates and napkins off the table. This our go-to place for special occasions. Make sure you make reservations as it gets packed. Well worth the drive! read more

Salt Smokehouse - Brisket Fritters - Barbeque Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

Read the reviews and wanted to try this restaurant to celebrate with family. Luckily, I made reservations for a Thursday at 4:45...just in case I needed them & I did!! It was very busy for a Thursday and opens at 4:30 for dinner. It's in the Lincoln Mill and entrance is right next to a coffee place, but right up front & easy to find. We ordered the brisket fritters (4 panko crispy balls of chopped brisket mixed with chihuahua cheese blend, topped with Japanese white sauce) & the crispy Brussel sprouts (tossed in hot honey, yuzu & tamari glaze). There were enough brussel sprouts that they could easily be a side for everyone at our table. Both were cooked perfectly & flavors amazing!! For our entrees, our daughter ordered the tempura crab sandwich, my husband the bulgogi cheesesteak, our granddaughter the chicken fingers & Mac & cheese, myself & son-in-law, the brisket burnt ends and the beef tallow fries & the creamy Ginger Serrano coleslaw. We all enjoyed our meals & will definitely be back!! Wanted to order dessert, but we were all too full!! Highly recommend the brisket burnt ends!! Our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu & very attentive. Really enjoyed everything about this place!! read more

From the minute I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome by one of the owners. He could see I was by myself and sat me at a four-top even though the place was getting busy, so I could spread out comfortably instead of sitting at the bar. That small touch of hospitality really stood out. My server, Sarahi, was fantastic, and the chopped brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries was outstanding. I live in Texas, where we take our barbecue seriously, but this place completely blew me away. The food was some of the best I've ever had, and the prices were extremely affordable for the quality. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Huntsville. Highly recommend! read more

Salt Smokehouse delivered one of the more creative barbecue experiences we've had, blending traditional smoked meats with bold Asian-inspired flavors in a fresh, modern setting. We arrived around 12:16 p.m. on Juneteenth and waited only about five minutes for a table of three. Once seated, Ethan provided exceptional service from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, offered thoughtful recommendations, and took the time to answer our questions about the menu. We kicked things off with the Texas Twinkies, served with white queso, queso fresco, serrano peppers, and cilantro. They were a flavorful way to begin the meal and set the tone for what was to come. I ordered the Smoked & Grilled Pork Chops with Beef Tallow Fries and Dr. Up Bushes Baked Beans. The pork chops were thick, juicy, and generously portioned. The fries arrived piping hot with an excellent crispy texture, while the baked beans were my favorite side of the meal. The portions were substantial enough that I took one pork chop home for later. My wife chose the Smoked Beef Burnt Ends with signature upgrades of Elote Crème Corn and Sweet Potato Fries. She loved the burnt ends and commented that the only thing that could have made them better was a little more bulgogi glaze. Both upgraded sides were excellent, especially the perfectly cooked sweet potato fries. Bethany went with the Bulgogi Cheesesteak and upgraded to the Truffle Fries, which were loaded with black truffle Parmesan seasoning, truffle aioli, and white queso. The fries were rich and indulgent, and paired well with the generous cheesesteak. Like the rest of us, she ended up taking home leftovers. The portions here are impressive, the menu is refreshingly creative without losing sight of great barbecue fundamentals, and the service elevated the entire experience. If you're visiting, don't skip the Texas Twinkies, and be prepared to leave with a to-go box. read more

This place was recommended by a local a nominated for a Michelin star last year. The reviews are great so I had to try. Great service to start . My server was Janet and she went through the entire menu and was super friendly. Went on A Tuesday and it was already filling up at 5:30. Started with brisket fritters and had the burnt ends with gochujang peanuts and cucumber mint salad for the sides. I ordered a side of korean bbq to go with the fritters. Yummy, spicy sweet mix with the savory fritters was a nice combo. Definitely my Korean kick for bbq tonight. The gochujang was delicious on the peanuts, cucumber salad and peanuts. I the Korean bbq sauce went perfect with the burnt ends which were cooked perfect with a nice char. The only minor feedback was the fat could have been rendered a bit better. Great flavors, great service and great experience. My second 5 star in Huntsville, Nice Job!!! Thank You read more

Found Salt in Yelp while looking for best bbq in Huntsville. We are here in Huntsville, Alabama for the 1st time and made sure we try their bbq! It turns out they are a Michelin star in 2025 with Chef Boyzo. What a fantastic dining experience! We were served by Joanna and her side kick, Yudiana. They were both amazing, providing us with excellent service throughout our time there. The food was totally delicious and delightful. It's an Asian fusion take on American bbq! We had the crispy duck appetizer and then went on to have the Salt salad and ginger lemon chicken breast while hubby had the chicken thighs with Mac and cheese & baked beans. With their out of this world Asian fusion bbq sauce, it was out this world delicious! If I could give this place a 6 star, I would! The interior was very chic and classy with lots of pleasant art optics. The music was perfect not too loud, just enough for the perfect ambiance. Highly recommend this fabulous Michelin restaurant. You will surely miss something special if you don't! read more

Salt Smokehouse - Joanna and Yudiana our star servers! Thank you for your kindness and great service! - Barbeque Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

We enjoyed our meal here. My favorite item was their beef tallow fries and the Bourbon ribs! Our wait time on a Saturday night was 35 minutes. It was a chilly night and they don't have a lobby so most patrons wait in their vehicles. Avoid being seated at the table closest to the door. The constant opening from people checking in created a horrible draft while eating. We loved most of our food except the smoked chicken. It was dry and lacked flavor. We'll go back and try some other items for sure. There was plenty of parking and our waitress was nice. read more

Perfect, attentive service when you eat in and attention-to-detail and presentation even when you order take out. Texas Twinkies, Brisket, and Brisket Fritters were amazing and so were the Brussels sprouts and thick-cut TALLOW Fries. (Don't warm the leftover Twinkies in the microwave - makes them too spicy).

We stopped by Salt Smokehouse to try their infusion foods. From looking at their menu and reading reviews, it appears they have a KBBQ influence. It was 1:15 and the restaurant was 95% full. Full and wait staff moving quickly to get orders out to hungry customers. I noticed there were several Asian men there eating and thought the KBBQ influence must be good. I ordered the pork plate with charred tomato, onion and squash and creamed spinach. The pork was smoked very well with great flavor and was moist. 5/5 The charred tomato, onion, and squash were excellent. 5/5 The creamed spinach thick and tasty. 5/5 Dave got the prime burnt ends, baked beans, and beef tallow fries. His burnt ends were tender tasty and seasoned well. 5/5 The baked beans were good but not memorable. 4/5 The beef tallow fries tasty and crispy. 5/5 We had a good lunch and will return again. My favorite item was the charred tomato, onion and squash. Yummy! If you are into fusion foods, please stop by and give this place a try. The food is really good. read more

The food is absolutely amazing. Cannot wait to go back. The staff is great too! Also, definitely need reservations!

Went to Salt Smokehouse tonight for the first time. We had a short wait before getting a table, but we were able to sit at the bar and peruse the menu. The staff was friendly and helpful while we waited. There are so many more things I want to try here! I got the smoked beef burnt ends. It was paired with an Asian fusion saise and it paired so well. The cheese grits are tangy and the baked beans were great. We started with the brisket fritters and I think that was my favorite thing The ambience here is comfortable and inviting but modern warehouse. It is a great place. The prices are not bad and the servings are generous. We left full! Recommend!!! read more

First time customer from out of town who has ate BBQ across the country. 5 star work here by Salt Smokehouse. A well defined menu that is not overly complicated but has plenty of choices. We stayed traditional BBQ with Household 6 having sliced lean brisket and myself choosing the chopped brisket. Great flavor complemented by a large selection of sauces. One note and the only less than a stellar provision, was a small serving of sauce served in a relatively small miniature saucer, 2 more of those would have been nice for me LOL, but in fairness to SS you can pay for more sauce. Don't let that little ankle biter deter you as this BBQ joint is worth the stop. Baked beans were good and I put some brisket in them as I ate. All portions (except the sauce) were of good size. The cucumber mint side dish was a nice and spicy taste, very thin sliced cucumber with carrot and mint and a spicy dressing. The Texas toast and iced tea were also well prepared. They made a the meal go down well. Service was excellent with who seemed to be the manager coming by to top off my tea and check on us. The setting is nicely done and not overly loud with a decent turnout of patrons for a Tuesday evening. They have outdoor seating but the sun was setting so we passed on that. Will definitely come back again when in town. Great job read more

This is some of the best food in the city!! By far the best Pork Chops I've ever had!!

We arrived to Huntsville and decided to stop by and have lunch at Salt. Its a cute place and we decided to sit in their payio outside since it was a beautiful day! The service was fantastic. Soft Crab Bao sliders were phenominal! Best thing I had here - 9.5/10 Smokey Edamame wasnt my cup of tea. My daughter loves edamame but didnt like this I think because of the seasoning or onions? - 5/10 Mac and Cheese - 8.5/10 Coleslaw - 8/10 Bulgogi Cheesesteak was way tooo sweet for us - 5/10 Summer Salad was refreshing 9/10 Overall Food & Vibe 7/10 read more

We were looking for something a little different and this place hit the spot. It is hard to find smoked jalapeno (TX twinkies) in TN, so we had to try them here. They were delish, but beware some of them were extra spicy. We opted to split an entree so we got the porkchop, fries and Mac n cheese. Everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was not like your typical bbq spot, so that was nice too. Our server was super nice and attentive also. read more

This place has inside and outside seating. The interior was very clean and modern. It doesn't give BBQ vibes at all which had me confused. The hostess and my server were very nice. The server gave great menu recommendations. The Texas Twinkies appetizer was great. I highly recommend it. I had the brisket cheesesteak entrée. It was good as well. My friend enjoyed his Salmon Bite Tacos. I'd definitely go back. I had my eyes on the BBQ Wonton Nachos. read more

This place used to be Fusion Barbecue. After closing and rebranding this is now the Salt Smokehouse. They have been open for a bit now and still don't have a liquor license, which is kind of strange. We had to wait a while before someone acknowledged us once we walked in, but it was on. Friday and they were busy. Once we were seated, our service was great. We ordered the Parmesan truffle fries, which the server, Angel, forgot to put in. I still wanted them so I told him to put the order in. We were about done with our food when they came out. I ordered the smoked chicken thighs with the coleslaw and brussel sprouts. The food was fantastic. read more

We just had a great overall experience. We went on a Saturday night before a show at Levity Live. Wanted to explore somewhere new and so glad we did. Service was definitely busy, but they filled our drinks without asking and checked in on us. We have the brussel sprouts, I had the burger and fries, my husband had the burnt ends with beans and corn. Loved my husbands corn and ate a lot of it! We were both pleased with our food - we definitely ordered too much and had to take the Brussels and some fries to go. Would go back to try some other items on the menu! read more

We ordered tempura fried whole crab boa buns $14 Bohn Mi with Tallow fries Wonton nachos Smoked chicken thigh plater ( 2 sides ) can get 2 or 3 chicken thighs.

While back in Huntsville visiting family, I finally got to try this spot they've been raving about. I let my niece order since she seems to be here ALOT. She ordered ( i may butcher the names) the Asian ribs, salad with shrimp, French fries and a strawberry magarita(non-alcoholic). I was very impressed with everything. The ribs were very flavorful and paired perfect with the fries. The salad topped with the seared shrimp was so, so good. Something about a salad that includes tri-color bellpeppers pushes a fresh salad over the taste edge. There is no alcohol sold here, however if they change their minds, please let that delicious strawberry margarita be the first one you blend. It was really tasty the way it was too. Its a cute and quaint spot that was very crowded during lunch around 1pm. My niece complained that 'her spot' had been found out because now there's a wait to get inside. I giggled. Overall our meal and the spot gets an A+. read more

The service was great and the food was amazing. We started with the Texas Twinkies as our appetizer, and they were absolutely incredible--bursting with flavor and easily one of the highlights of the meal. For my main dish, I had the burnt ends with Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. The burnt ends were good, but they weren't my favorite--the sauce just wasn't quite for me personally. However, the Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese were both really good and definitely hit the spot. Overall, everything was good, the experience was enjoyable, and we will most definitely be returning. read more

Nothing to be Salty about here! This place is amazing, their take on BBQ is phenomenal. The food is delicious, I had the crispy chicken that was moist and tasty! The fries are addicting!

We had an excellent experience here. We were very impressed with the level of service here. Super attentive and made sure to get our orders correct, she was super friendly and offered great suggestions. I got the pulled pork plate which comes with 2 sides- it was so hard to choose, they had so many options. But I opted for the Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese. You also get a choice of sauce, I got the Korean BBQ. The food was great. There was a good portion of pork which was flavorful and the sauce paired well. The Brussels sprouts had a sweet glaze (maybe hot honey?) and the mac and cheese was super creamy. I'm picky about my mac but I really enjoyed theirs. We also got the burger, with fries as a side. The fries were thick cut with a slightly crisp outside. The inside was nice- it looked slightly upscale with an industrial vibe. Would definitely come back and try their other menu options! read more

Wow. What an outstanding meal. Everything we tried was excellent. We tried the BBQ nachos, summer salad, brisket, Brussels sprouts and fries. Each dish was better than the last. Not a single disappointing bite to be found. I used to live in Huntsville and this is the only reason I would want to move back! Star of the show was our server Emmanuel! He was a delight.

First time to Salt...but definitely not the last. The waiter, Miguel made a suggestion as to our menu choices. He was spot on! My friend and I had the same menu selection, Smoked Brisket Bao Sliders. They were delicious and the right size for lunch. Being a Friday lunchtime the place was packed. We were first seated at the bar, but found it uncomfortable and were promptly moved to a table. We both enjoyed our meal and agreed that we would definitely come back. Only suggestion would be to have Salt mark their entrance a bit better. We missed the front door twice. So glad we were persistent. read more
