Not only was the food amazing but the staff! Marilyn, "Sunshine", has the best smile, efficient and started our visit like feeling home. Our server, Dora, was right up there with the best we've ever had. She welcomed us with a sincere smile and followed through more efficient than words allow her. We thank you with the most genuine thanks we can muster. Diane and Terry read more

I came in and seated myself at the bar. Food and service were just what I expected. I ordered the 10oz sirloin rare/medium rare. Which came out a perfect medium rare, which is how I prefer my sirloin. I first ordered an ice water and a gin & tonic. A double with Tanqueray and an extra squeeze of lime. The cocktail was just as expected. As I enjoyed my drink and watched sports I felt comfortable to take my time looking at the menu. My Wedge salad came out quickly giving me enough time to enjoy it while I looked over the wine list and waited on my steak and baked potato. The salad was crisp and cool and with good timing was followed by the steak. I was offer a sample tasting of a Merlot which allowed me to select a better choice in a house Cabinet. My only complaint would be that bread wasn't offered until I requested it. Good job Salt Grass Waco, TX! Hi read more

Food was great as always. Came in shortly after 8pm and was seated right away. Vinny D. was a great waiter and took wonderful care of us. Very attentive and made our dinner even better. Thank you! read more

Amelia was a phenomenal server and the food was perfect. We didn't know what to expect as we've lived in Waco for 7 years but never thought to eat here. We were very impressed and the steaks were soft and perfectly cooked. Great kids menu - fantastic variety with something for everyone. It's our new 'go-to' ! read more

I really like the Decour inside this restaurant. It's very comfortable and inviting. It is a family friendly restaurant. If you're looking for a quiet intimate restaurant, I don't think this is the one. The food was excellent. Everyone at my table ordered different things from steak to tacos and everyone enjoyed their meal. I felt that the price matched the quality of the food and service. I will definitely be back. read more

Waitress was really attentive! Quality of food is amazing. This is going to be our families go to every Friday night. read more

Saltgrass Steak House - Beautifully cooked steak! No other place cooks and how you want it. Kudos to the chef. - Steakhouses Near Me - Waco, Texas

Piss poor oversight of food. While they serve a nice steak I had the full rack of ribs expecting good well cooked pork. It was bad over cooked ribs. Why I asked was this so charred and dry? The server told me that is the way they make them. I wanted at least the ribs to be taken off the bill as we then had to pay. Screw that we are members and will let you know. The manager came by earlier but not for this problem. They also have pork chops that they burn and we will not go to that restaurant again. Go to a real steak house or other place with full well cooked meals. read more

We ate in the bar to watch the playoff game and the service was impeccable! We ordered the rib eye and the chicken tortilla soup and both were delicious. The rib eye was cooked perfectly and the food came fast. The vibe in the bar is very friendly and neighborly. We are from San Diego, have been here before, and we will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

I had a delivery order. Wasn't pleased with the food! Steak was chewy and couldn't eat it. Baked potato was cold. No butter or sour cream. On the website it doesn't let you order your toppings. Oh my! the TINY Caesar salad! No croutons or cheese. The lettuce was brown. Nothing fresh about it! Just because it's a to go order you can cut corners! This was a $45 meal! This is the Waco location! read more

I really enjoy the dinner the food are fantastic the service are amazing the server she is so nice give us good and fast service her name is Angelica, the place is clean and good atmosphere, definitely we comeback!!! read more

Food was excellent. Service was great. Not too loud of a restaurant. My server was Sadie, she was very attentive and we left full and satisfied. read more

I'm sad to say this was our very first bad experience at a saltgrass steakhouse. The meal took over 25 minutes to come out. When it got to the table the steak was not hot and the baked potato was almost cold. We were never offered any compensation for the wait or the poor quality of the food. As I said this was our first bad experience. We will be back they need to do better. read more

So my husband and I thought it would be a good thing to take our son there since he never ate there. Boy was we were wrong, the food was totally nasty. For starters my dinner salad had picese of the salad core mixed in my salad. And the bread they gave us was hard and dried out. The country fried steak was mostly all batter and very little meat under all that batter. Plus it was very salty too and over cooked. My husband mashed potatoes had a very strange taste to them so he couldn't eat them and my bake potatoe was cold wouldn't even melt the butter. My son french fries was no good either. The only thing good at that place on Saturday the 8th was our service. But as far as the food it sucks bad. So will not recommend this place to no one.

I'm going to leave one of the worst reviews I've probably ever written. The honest truth is when you get food poisoning. How bad does the review really have to be? Just the sheer mention of the word food poisoning should scare you away from eating anything from this restaurant. About 20 minutes after we left this restaurant my wife became deathly ill. She had violent stomach cramps and threw up within an hour. That was at 5 o'clock this afternoon, she has been sick all night and she is in the bathroom now even sicker. On myself, I've been sick within about 45 minutes of leaving the restaurant. The baked potatoes that we ate, had some dark spots in them and some potato eyes growing shoots. Usually when a potato begins to shoot, it's gone bad. Dark spots on a potato can also be a reminder that maybe the potato was not fresh. Both potatoes tasted off, but it was difficult to discern because both baked potatoes were loaded. Our daughter ate with us, but she had french fries. Our daughter steak was supposed to be medium well and it was very rare. My chicken fried chicken was slightly overcooked, and the breading did not stick to the chicken and simply fell off. My wife is in a situation where she cannot have gluten and she cannot have dairy. They mention that they had a gluten-free dairy free menu, which was offered. It looks like most of her food had some type of butter on it, and although there was no gluten dairy was possibly present most of her food having eaten dairy, even though she requested no dairy and she didn't see dairy it potentially is making her food poisoning much worse. I am writing this in the throes of being very sick. Freshness is critical and trust in a restaurant that they serve. Fresh items is vital important. If you're going to serve me garbage then please see me by the dumpster, don't feed me garbage in the restaurant and pretend that it's OK if you're going to sell, spoiled produce and cover it in bacon cheese and dairy products just know that you're still covering a rotten potato. When someone says they can't have dairy and they can't have gluten and you furnish a menu that is gluten-free and that person still tells you they can't have dairy, but you put dairy on the food may be in a way it can't be seen maybe it's by accident. But now two people have paid $115 to go home and be sick. That's an inexcusable. read more

The food and drinks are good, as is the service.. But beware of management booking loud, drunk parties, that should be in a private room, into general dining areas and then not doing anything when the disrupt everyone else's dinner. read more

Lindsay was our waitress and she was wonderful!! She made our experience fun and she was great with our little one.

I was in Waco for a couple of days attending meetings and needed a place for a late lunch/early dinner. I check around and saw that Saltgrass was close by and their lunch specials ran until 4:00 in the afternoon. It was a perfect fit so off I went. After a short drive from my hotel, I arrived at the restaurant. Since it was 3:30 in the afternoon, the restaurant was virtually empty. I looked over the lunch menu and decided on ribs, garlic mashed potatoes and a dinner salad with oil and vinegar. After a short wait, my lunch entree was ready and brought to my table. The ribs were really yummy. There were two half racks on the plate (more about that in a minute), and the garlic mashed potatoes were creamy, garlicky, and hot, very delicious. The ribs were wonderful, fall off the bone delicious. When I received my check I noticed I was charged for the dinner instead of the lunch entree, hence the two racks of ribs. I guess the server misunderstood my order. I mentioned it to the server when I looked over the check. He took the check back to the manager who adjusted the bill immediately without any hassle. Next time I'm in Waco, I'll definitely stop back in to dine at this location of Saltgrass Steak House. read more

Fun atmosphere and excellent food, especially the potato soup (cold wet day) . And Ashley, our server, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Good value. We will be back!! read more

Saltgrass Steakhouse Bread is very good, kind of a wheat round roll served warm and fresh. Salad is very good, difficult to describe but salad as a whole was really good, croutons were not rock hard, but still had the crunch, dressing was good and the combination of all items complimented each other Artichoke and Spinach Dip is okay, kind of average. Peter's Ribeye very good, tender, full of flavor and cooked as requested. Highly recommend entree, no need for steak sauce, flavor takes care of itself. Prime Rib was good would have preferred to have a little bit more rare than served. Sauteed mushrooms to share came out late almost towards the end of the meal, had to remind server. Overall food was very good, service was average, but will not gig rating over service. Loved the salad, Peter's Ribeye and the bread read more

This was our second visit to Salt Grass in Waco, however our first experience wasn't very good. We decided to try it again 9 months later. We were greeted by our smiling waitress almost immediately. Her name was Dora. She was very kind and tentative to our needs without hovering. She brought our drinks out rather quickly. I then ordered a mix drink that wasn't very good and she immediately had it exchanged out, apologized and made sure the next drink was satisfactory. She took our food order and while we waited she asked if anything else was needed and she'd be happy to get it for us. I wasn't sure what to order and she recommended the Country Fried Steak. So that's what I ordered. It definitely didn't disappoint. it was much bigger than I could eat, and the flavor was amazing. It was freshly made, hot, crunchy and the batter on the steak and most of all I could just use my fork to cut if I chose. The gravy was really good that it was paired with. I opted to add the broccoli for my side and was very good and fresh. My husband ordered steak and brussel sprouts and didn't care for them since they were overcooked. Again, Dora offered up an exchange side and brought it out to us without hesitation. She kept all the empty dishes, cleaned off the table that were no longer being used and made sure our drinks were filled at all times. When we got ready to leave, she offered us to go boxes and drinks for the road. I would definitely go back and visit Dora and saltgrass again. Our overall experience was turned around and I feel Dora made all this possible. We really enjoyed our visit, food and waitress. i look forward to having Dora wait on us again in the future when we return to visit. Thank you, Dora for a wonderful experience. read more

Party of 6. Made prior reservations. No wait. Exceptionally friendly and entertaining waiter.Those are the only kind words I have for the restaurant. Food was absolutely the worst. Chicken fried chicken was about 1/4 of an inch thick. Lots of crust...of course. Steaks were tough and stringy. Seems like for $30 one could get a better steak. I HAVE to go here for a future dinner, God help me! I will have an appetizer. After that I won't be back. read more

Great food! Amazing customer service! Highly recommend the fried shrimp and steak order! read more

This wasn't a pleasant experience. Restaurant itself is a run down chain style spot. Service was horrible. Steak was average- better than outback, but not as good as a real steakhouse. I really wouldn't go here again. read more

The food is average. The service is not the best. And the ambiance is fine.nothing else to say.

I tried to warn my best friend about the dangers of eating food from Waco, but he just wouldn't take no for an answer!. I ordered a steak and baked potatoes. Mine was cooked well and I had no complaints about it. My best friend however had the chicken fried steak, liked it and wasn't reacting at all. I got suspicious. Finally after about 10 minutes of sitting and watching tv, he turns to me red faced, tells me to grab a garbage can (yes! It's time!) and starts throwing up violently. I tried to tell ya Jon! read more

Saltgrass is a good moderate steak house. I have been to this one several times over the past several years and have never been disappointed. The only real problem with the place is how busy it often is - this last visit, I was able to be seated at the bar right away... read more

Let me start and say I have no opinion on this issue, mask. We went to the restaurant in Waco, Texas. On the door it says ALL employees will be wearing a mask. The young lady cleaning the table, no mask. The two cooks in the kitchen, no mask, I could see in the kitchen from my seat. One server, mask under chin. Server taking mask up and down when entering and leaving the kitchen. Kitchen director, no mask. Please follow your rule or remove the sign from the door. The server we had wore a mask and was very attentive. The salad came very quickly. The entree took 40 minutes. When the pork cop arrived, it was not cooked correctly. I ordered well done, no pink. It was pink. It was gone for 5 minutes, and was done. The salad was sad. Ice burg lettuce and rusty. The meal was good once we got over the doneness. Over all, things were good. read more

I recently visited the SaltGrass in Arlington TX for a family members birthday dinner. The waitress that helped us was awesome... but one of the dining party found an adult roach in their mash potatoes. The entire party stopped eating because where there's one roach, there are Many! The management still insisted on everyone paying for their food... they were only willing to comp the meal that the roach was found in... Horrible customer service from the management... read more

Food and service are good - certainly recommend for a night out. Atmosphere is relatively quiet especially in the 2 top booth/tables.

First perfectly cooked medium well steak I've ever had, and it was a T-bone which is pretty hard to get right. I also recommend the baked potato soup potato, it's amazing! The theme of it is really cool, they had a bunch of chandeliers with horns which I thought was really cool and overall the service was great. Our server was Kenzie, she was very tentative and always came when we needed her, this was our first time and definitely will not be the last. read more

This was just an average restaurant. The appetizer was $19.00, but when we got the bill, it was $25.00. We got the jalapeño rattlers, and it was just heat with no taste. The salads were good. The steaks were good as well, but again, just mediocre. Our waiter did a great job. The atmosphere is that of a regular steak house. read more
