I am puzzled as to why this restaurant has such an overall low star rating. Our first visit to Saltgrass Steak House was exceptional - both the flavors of our lunches and our service. Becky (on our receipt at Rebecca) provided us with genuine Southern hospitality during our entire dining experience. She was efficient and friendly with many great suggestions regarding food items. I enjoyed the grilled shrimp along with a loaded baked potato and delicious Caesar Salad. The dressing on the salad had fantastic flavor, and it was not drenched in the dressing as some places tend to do. My husband enjoyed the blackened redfish dish which featured shrimp, lump crab meat, tomatoes, green onions, lemon butter, and red pepper flakes. He exclaimed over the fabulous flavors. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious and airy yeast rolls (at least I believe they are yeast rolls) that were accompanied by a decadent and addicting honey, cinnamon butter. Becky brought 4 of them for the 2 of us, and I wish she had not because I could not resist having part of a 2nd roll. We will return soon as we look forward to enjoying their lunch/early dining menu that runs only Monday - Friday! read more

My boys and I were in town for a tournament, and after the competition we wanted a nice celebratory dinner. This place was within walking distance of our hotel and it was a beautiful day, so we walked down to have some steaks for dinner. The inside decor is pretty retro - reminds me of the old school Lone Star/Texas Roadhouse style 90s places. We arrived about 4:45 p.m. on a Saturday and the place was already packed. We had to wait an hour at the bar for a table - we sat down about 5:45. I ordered the bacon wrapped filet with grilled shrimp and sweet potato fries. Got a first course of the Caesar salad and bread rolls. The kids menu was reasonably priced and the portions my kids got were pretty sizeable. My oldest got the sirloin, and my youngest got a burger. The food was delicious all around, although my steak was overcooked for what I ordered (medium rare). Overall, we had a pleasant experience. The long wait was really inconvenient with two kids, but the food came reasonably quickly (10 minutes for the first course, mains served 30 minutes after we sat). If we are back for competition in this area again, we'd certainly revisit. I debated between 3 and 4 stars -- I'd say 4 stars for the food at the table service, 3 and less for the long wait time. read more

Plenty of parking! Make sure you make reservations- it oddly doesn't matter- we had reservations for 2 - 5:30 PM- checked in at 5:30 PM- after checking 2 x we finally were seated at 6 pm! Our waiter was great- Gabriel - it was not his fault our food took a while- when we did get it- the appetizer came with our main course- I did get my salad right away:) Food was good and tasty- Drinks are pricey. read more

When my son wanted to go here for his birthday dinner I agreed despite having had average experiences in the past. Arrived at 5:45 on a Monday and noted they had early dining specials. Ordered a half rack of ribs on special right away as the deal ended at 6pm. At 6:40 the food arrived. When I asked why it took so long they said the kitchen was hot and they were short staffed. Two felt their meals were prepared well. One felt their steak was tough. I cut up the ribs, took a healthy bite and was met with cold meat. My mom said never eat cold pork. Asked them to heat it up. 15 minutes later everyone is done eating and the ribs have not returned. I asked one of the managers to please remove it from my bill which they did. He was apologetic and gave me the meal free to take home. Nice gesture but would have liked to eat them hot with the rest of my family. read more

Good Vibes / Good Food My lunch favorite is the Chopped Steak with grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms and cognac sauce. The tender, beefy steak has a distinct crusty char and is smothered in caramelized mushrooms. Grilled Shrimp is a good option for seafood lovers. The 8 Jumbo Shrimp were juicy with a little snap - just right. The Fried Mushroom appetizer is a real bargain. Plump, earthy mushrooms with a crunchy Parmesan Crust - a real winner. The Queso Fresco with Brisket app was not so good. The queso blanco, brisket, pico de gallo, cilantro, onions and chips sounded interesting; but failed to deliver. We also enjoyed the BBQ Pork Ribs & Shrimp combo. The 5 baby back ribs and 4 grilled shrimp made for a delicious and satisfying meal. Steaks are the stars at Saltgrass, and Ribeye is my steak of choice. The steak, while a little on the thin side, was nicely marbled, rich and buttery - and almost decadent when slathered with melted garlic butter. You can upgrade to a crisp Lettuce Wedge for an additional charge. Saltgrass has an exceptional array of tempting Sides. The crunchy Flash-fried Green Beans are a nice addition to any entree. There's also Asparagus (upchatge, Broccoli. Brussels Sprouts, Fried Onions, Herb Rice and Smoked Mac and Cheese. Potato options include Baked, French Fried and Mashed. One caveat: The menu includes a lot of options that come with an added price. I found that some servers casually recommend these items without mentioning that there is an additional cost. On my first visit, my bill was several dollars more than I had expected. read more

First time trying this place and it was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon. Zach was our server and he was pretty attentive the whole time. We started off with the dinner rolls and the flavored butter was good on it. Then ordered the brisket queso which was different but good. Me and my mom split the blackened redfish with broccoli and a house salad. Everything was good, my only complaint was no prices were listed for the drinks except wine, which prevented me from getting a drink. Overall a good experience. read more

My opinion, if you like Texas Roadhouse or Logans, this is far better. I give Texas Roadhouse a 3 but Saltgrass gets a 5 from me. There isn't much I'd say they could improve when it comes to chain steakhouses. I'd never go to outback over Saltgrass either. Their cocktails are nice and flavorful, I try a new one every time we go. My favorite by far is the grilled pineapple marg. My husband says he's never had a bad old fashioned from there either. Steaks are of decent quality (for a chain), not rubbery and have great flavor. I personally haven't ever received bad service from anyone there either. Im sure there are exceptions not to discredit anyone else's experience but ours have always been good. Whenever Im in the mood for a good steak dinner, I'll go here. They do offer call head seating so do it if it's a weekend, they stay pretty busy for that area. read more

Yum, we really enjoyed our dinner here. We did experience issues with our reservation and waited about 45-50 min for a table, but it was worth the wait. While waiting for a table we started with pickle chips and fried mushrooms at the bar. The mushrooms were incredible! They were cooked perfectly with a crunchy exterior and a juicy interior. The pickle chips were similarly perfectly fried and flavored. After finishing the appetizers, our table was ready. Our awesome waiter Titus greeted us and brought waters and complimentary rolls. The rolls were soft and delicious. We weren't fans of the accompanying cinnamon butter so Titus brought us regular butter. We ordered the brisket queso with our entrees. Everything was cooked to the right temp. I greatly enjoyed my rare steak and firm buttery broccoli. Overall we enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning! read more

We have had nothing but terrific experiences here. Most recently we went for a Saturday lunch. There was a 20-30 minute wait for a table, but the bar is first-come-first-serve, so bar it was. Did take a few minutes for a Bartender to appear, but he was super busy, and once he did show up he took great care of us. We love Elijah! We had a question at one point and our interaction with the Manager was also terrific. Folks here clearly are proud to take care of the customer. Much appreciated. Food-wise, it's so good! Our salads were cold and fresh with wonderful dressings. Even the croutons were good. Their rolls with cinnamon butter are always melt-in-your-mouth-good. This time I broke away from just seafood to try their Rib combo with grilled shrimp and my choice of mac n cheese for a side. Rib perfection! So good, I would be happy with just those. Shrimp was fine, but those ribs are wow! Husband's Country Fried Steak was also really good. We both took some home and leftovers were great. Prices for the quality, quantity and service are very reasonable. Do note their lunch menu is only for weekdays. Plenty of parking. Easy to get to in Knightdale. TIP: pay attention for Triangle Restaurant Week. We didn't utilize it this time, but the deal was phenomenal! read more

This was my first time eating here. Very nice clean well run restaurant. I was in town getting some work done and was recommended that I try this place. I ordered the country style steak with mashed potatoes and it was absolutely amazing. Best I can remember having. My buddy got the same thing. It was well worth the price. Service was very good too. No complaints from me. Will go back next time I'm in town read more

We had birthday lunch for my husband today. I was so looking forward to the meal. Unfortunately, it was insanely slow... and not even that crowded. When the food finally arrived, my food was way overcooked and broken into parts ... it was so unappetizing ... we just sent it back. The last time we went there .... Similar experience.... If you go there ... lower those expectations! read more

Saltgrass was kind enough to give me $25 toward my birthday meal, so my husband and I decided to visit, and this experience was much better. I had the Pat's Ribeye, smoked mac and cheese, and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and cooked exactly to my liking. The bread is always my favorite, and it came out hot and fresh. Our server was friendly, but after scanning my membership card and applying the birthday reward, they didn't wish me a Happy Birthday. The restaurant was clean, and there was no long wait time, which we appreciated. read more

We walked out! First let me say that the decor is very pretty. It looks like a steakhouse in Texas with deer heads and country decor throughout (including the meat wall of wines as you enter). And it seems clean. We were advised that there was a 1.5 hour wait (it's Saturday 5:30pm). Ok it's long but there are comfortable benches inside and some things are worth the wait. The hosts were very rude and rolled their eyes when we said we're ok to wait. Within 10-15 minutes of waiting, we see about 5 employees come huddle behind the hosts and look at their iphones and giggling while some tables are emptying from customers leaving. I'm not a restaurant owner, so I don't know how things work behind doors, but with staff acting like that in the front of the restaurant, I'm going to leave and take my business elsewhere. We left. read more

Another successful visit to Saltgrass for a 40th birthday celebration! We were seated very quickly and our waitress Cheyenne came shortly after. Cheyenne was the sweetest...very attentive and she gave my daughter a sticker which I thought was a nice touch since kids can get antsy having to wait. She kept me informed on my order and made sure we had refills,etc. We ordered the fried pickles and they were very good and had a little kick to them. Not overly fried or greasy. For my entree I ordered Pat's Ribeye with a loaded baked potato and a garden salad. The birthday boy ordered the Classic Steak and shrimp with fries and chicken tortellini soup. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger (no bun) with broccoli. Everything came out hot and fresh. At the end of the meal of course the little one got a sundae! If you ever stop in be sure to ask for Cheyenne! We will definitely be back again. read more

Disappointing... let me start by saying we have been here a few times and everything was great . Last evening not so much, they were busy I'm good with that the wait was not the issue . I think I had the worst steak I have ever had . It was over cooked and way too seasoned. I ate 3 bites and that's all. My friend , who got the same exact steak asked to be cooked the same as mine was undercooked .. read more

I frequent this location often with my family. The food is always good and so are the servers. However, tonight was different. Our server Kayla G. had the absolute worst attitude I've experienced ever by a server. I hope the manager I reported her to deals with her properly about her actions. He was kind to talk to. read more

Took my mom here for her birthday, she has always talked about the location in Texas. The place is nice and big, and it was packed for a Thursday. I made reservations and we were promptly seated. Our waitress was nice, but not on her game. She asked for our drink orders and didn't ask if we wanted an appetizer. I thought that was customary, we start with the brisket queso, and I ordered a beer and my mom got a mixed drink. We then had to ask to place the order for dinner. I had the ribeye with salad Mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. The only thing hot was the steak. I then noticed everyone beside us had fresh pepper from their server placed on the salad, our waitress offered none. I then went to find my waitress and explained that it was my mom birthday and add a piece of carrot cake to go, you know a surprise. She brings the carrot cake to the table and announces here is the carrot cake! My mom ordered the t bone, salad and mac and cheese. I will say the mac and cheese was great, but I packed much of all my food to heat up at home. I'm not sure I would try them again, unless my mom wants to go, and I doubt that she stated it wasn't as good as the one in Texas read more

Our server was very very nice and was very attentive. Salad was good and portion was generous. My husband got a sirloin and it was a nice cut. I ordered a ribeye. It was a horrible cut. Extremely thin and no taste or flavor. We have been many times before and the quality of the steak has been good. Was disappointed this time. read more

Arrived at opening to a beautifully decorated but empty restaurant that filled quickly. Our waitress, Nadine, was a joy and so very helpful. She made some great recommendations such as the range rattlers and even the flash fried Brussel sprouts. We ordered the Range Rattlers, Wagon Boss Center Cur Sirlon Steaks (10 oz), Smoked Macaroni and Cheese, and Chicken Tortilla Soup. As per suggestion, we also ordered a side of Brussel Sprouts to split. Everything was wonderful and worth the trip. We told Nadine why we came, and this was the primary destination of a multi day road trip. Delia, the manager, even stopped by and thanked us for making the trip. With terrific food and amazing staff, this is a definite location to visit. Even though it is over a six hour drive, I thought it was worth the time. read more

This was my 3rd time there and they can not cook a steak to order! There was no seasoning on the steak and no crust. Ordered mine Medium-rare and all the times it was either blue or just rare, we did mention to a manager but she seemed like she was uninterested. One time they took it back and tried to correct it and it came out like it had been run over on the highway. Broccoli was limp and so overcooked. Not going there ever again, plenty of other local steakhouses that can cook what you order. The bartender seemed like I was an imposition this last visit and had no personality or customer service. read more

Ordered online for the first time eating here. Purchased 3 meals for 3 people and none of us finished our food and it found its way to the garbage. The best part was the free side salad that was included although the dressing ordered wasn't provided. Personally I got sick from my meal. And when I went to pick up the food, I wasn't sure if the door I went into was an employee entrance or the customer pick up door. When walking in it wasn't a very clean and welcoming area for a steakhouse but I was in the right spot. The hostess getting my order for me was nice. Very disappointed overall. read more

Yawn. Oh, was that dinner? Pretty mediocre strip, no seasoning, texture like it was once frozen. Sides are good if you're 12, nothing inventive here. Brussels sprouts had candy on them. Service was kind but too slow for the workload. Prices are higher than better alternatives. Pretty sure the "bacon" on the wedge is cooked and dried in a factory. But, such is Chaindale. read more

I love Saltgrass. The steaks are perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The baked potatoes are always good, not dried out and the salad is fresh. I love the fried mushroom appetizer! For the dessert, the carrot cake cannot be beat! It's the best I have ever eaten! We go about once a month, join Landry's and you earn points as well as other perks like priority seating! read more

We were a party of 10. The server was good, but he really could not get the food to us..we waited. the manager came and apologized for the food being over 40 minutes late...the orders started arriving, not all at once (2-3 minutes in between) my steak was warm to cold and dry. The kids macaroni is terrible! Order the adult instead, it's better. At the end no offer to reduce the bill or at least desert on the house for the terrible "dining" experience! The restaurant looks like it's been beaten with an ugly stick. Terrible! I've been to those in Texas and they are way better in every aspect. I don't believe this store has been visited by a member of their main offices in years. read more

It may be Salt Grass Steak House on the outside, but the inside is still screaming Lone Star Steak House. The least they could do is put some effort into the interior decor and at least patch the holes in the walls, I am not sure where the profits from the higher than normal priced steaks are going, obviously they are not going back into the dining experience. They do serve some hearty appetizers, the queso fresco comes with a lot of chips and SODIUM, but not much brisket. This one will definitely keep you running back to the bar! I was a bit disappointed in the chuck wagon cheese fries as I was expecting actual fries, not potato wedges. But if you insist on serving potato wedges instead of fries, might I recommend an oil salt and smoked paprika bath to give them some flavor? Cheese and bacon can only do so much for plain potatoes! I felt they served a good steak and controlled the temperature well, but why would any steakhouse that takes pride in their meat serve A1 steak sauce? Instead of slapping yourself in the face, why not serve a house Bearnaise to compliment the meat rather than soiling it. The staff are great and they do travel off the beaten path to provide a good experience. They have an active following in Knightdale, make sure to call ahead for reservations if you plan to dine out. Cheers! read more
