We go to Salty's at least once a week and we love the burgers! It's not every restaurant that can give you a well-done burger and keep it juicy and perfect! My husband loves the Bangers & Mash because it reminds him of our vacation in Dublin and, of course, the Guiness!! This is an oasis in the restaurant desert of Apollo Beach! read more

Every time the service is sooooo slow it takes away from the experience. Probably will not go back anymore.

Tonight was my first time here. I asked for a glass of ice. Had to ask 3 times and finally was brought a glass of ice water...so I guess I asked for ice 4 times. Ordered the maduro burger medium. It says it comes with crispy plantains which are served quite mushy. There is also a sauce served on the burger that isn't listed on the menu. Unfortunately I am allergic to some of the ingredients. A new burger was brought out eventually and that medium burger was beyond well done. The entire experience was a disaster. Due to the lack of service and lousy food I was given an employee discount of $2.00!! Wow! I don't plan to go back and I won't be recommending this place to anyone else. read more

I wish I could leave a zero star review. This place had the worst service ever. After bringing us our menus and waters our waitress, Angel, disappeared. When another waitress asked if we were ready to order 15 minutes later we told her yes she went to find our waitress but had to take our order when Angel couldn't be bothered. By this time both our waters had been empty for 10 minutes and despite passing our table several times it took another 30 minutes before anyone checked on us. We left before the food even came, there is no way food of any quality could have made up for such poor service especially since we were one of only five tables in use. Avoid at all costs. read more

I love dining al fresco and listening to music. The Salty Shamrock is great for this! I see that some people complain about the food. This is very casual dining. I doubt there is a chef in the kitchen so I don't expect a lot when it comes to the food. Very good are the fish and chips and white fish pate. The waitress did rave about the lobster mac and cheese but I did not like it at all. But in all fairness I don't like a lot of cheeses to begin with. My husband and my daughter thought it was pretty good. The french fries are great! The drinks and beer are good! The wait staff and bartenders are very friendly. When it's busy the kitchen doesn't always deliver all the food at the same time. We enjoy the entertainment and just sitting outside on a beautiful night. It's also close to where we stay when we are in Apollo Beach so that's a plus too! read more

Not impressed. We have been here twice now. I first had the bangers and mash. This was actually pretty good, filling, large portion. But, nothing I would come back specifically for. Just alright. I came back the second time because on the first visit I was torn between what I did order, and the grown up grilled cheese. The server described it as "very good, if you like a LOT of cheese". Let me tell you, as a Wisonsin native who does in fact love her some cheese.. This got me excited to try it. How could I go wrong with tons of cheese and pork belly? Well I ordered it.. And was seriously disappointed. By time it came out to me there was virtually no cheese, one to two bits that was waxt and was not completely melted. It was difficult to tell because the entire thing was smothered with so many onions that's all you can taste or see. If I wanted a grilled onion sandwich that's in fact what I would have ordered. Moving on, my husband got the corned beef burger. To start with we were actually surprised this being an Irish Pub that they don't just have a corned beef sandwich to start with. Hence the reason he decided to go with the corned beef burger. The Burger itself was just okay nothing to write home about and while there was corned beef on the burger we actually had to pick it apart to find what little corned beef they put on there. The Corned Beef was something I would have gotten over the counter at the Publix Deli. It certainly did not seem fresh or made in the kitchen. I will say the reason I gave it 2 Stars at all is because while the menu left little to be desired, the atmosphere is good. The service was friendly and fast. We would probably come here again for drinks, happy hour... But likely will go elsewhere for dining options. If you're looking for good Irish food, as the name would imply, look elsewhere. Being that I had heard this is the same owners as O'Brien's and Brandon I was rather surprised as I've always loved the food at O'Brien's. Maybe it's just a matter of personal opinion "Gastropub" food is just not for me. read more

Went here last night.. I loved it !!!! waitress was very sweet. I had to ask what the mushy peas were,,, they were very good..... its a bar.. and its noisy... but , for sure ,, I will be back.. and the food was very good.... read more

I am local and I wanted this place to be good. Unfortunately its not. The concept is awesome and the decor is really cool. opening up the bar to the outside is genius. That's where it ends. the food is hit or miss and so is the service. You might get good service, or you might not. I had the corned beef once. I couldn't bite through it. When the waiter picked up my plate and it was uneaten I expected him to ask me if it was alright. He did not. I gave it 2 stars because you can get a drink and they have live music on the weekends. Service 1 star, and I wont eat there. read more

we really enjoyed the outdoor dining. we had great service and a nice array of seafood dishes and craft beers on draught. totally happy to have this restaurant in apollo beach. read more

Staff was nice enough; however, the food was a real disappointment. The burgers are mediocre, and their lobster Mac & Cheese used fake lobster meat. Food was seriously overpriced, and the menu was not kid friendly. It looked to have potential as a bar, but I was there for lunch with my wife and kids. read more

Average experience. Fish and chips were good...items missing from order and server had to get. Burger was just ok. Side of slaw was in the same size container as our tartar sauce...for the price, I feel like you should get more than a couple bites. Our server wasn't great but not horrible either. as she kept forgetting things we asked for (drink refills, condiments etc)...she also made the comment to us that the chef was in a bad mood (not something we needed to know...unprofessional comment to say to a patron). Was hoping to be 'wowed' as it would be nice to have an amazing place to dine locally. We love venturing to new restaurants and trying new food...it's disappointing that most places around here are just average at most. Hopefully some day an owner will open up a place and bring it up a notch with the best atmosphere, food , service and experience. The 3-star rating was a little generous...the fish and chips were the only thing that brought it up. Undecided if we will return...not feeling promising. read more

I think it was rude that the wait staff made us close out our bill because she was leaving when we were not done with our meal and drinks. What type of policy is this? Needless to say we didn't have any more drinks after that it basically ended our visit. With modern pos systems that can hold credit card receipts until the next day for her next shift I am not sure why it was necessary to end our meal and drinks early so that a waitress could leave that night with 5 more dollars that day vs the next day. And how does this impact the restaurants sales? Well here's how it impacted it we didn't order any more drinks or dessert because we had already closed out. Would like to add we weren't offered any more either. The whole thing didn't make any sense. Restaurant should evaluate how these tactics and policies effect the customer experience because it seems they are jumping over dollars to save pennies. read more

Ok... To start.. I was really routing for this place. I work down the street and came in when they first opened. Terrible service, terrible food. I didn't go back for a few months. Eventually I went back in for lack of restaurants in the area and thought I would try it again. Wow... So much better! Service was excellent, food was a lot better, overall better experience. Well... I started coming in once a week for either lunch or early dinner, depending on my appointment schedule. Then.. Here is where the 2 stars are coming in. They changed the menu. They took off my usuals, goat cheese flatbread, clams, bruschetta, and lighter fish options. It's bar now. Literally, I think they copied beefs menu, it's terrible. I didn't want to go anywhere else, so I ordered the rueben. It was ok but I swear they have changed the meat or something. It was fine for what it was but no where the quality this place once was. And they give you potato chips. If I wanted potato chips I could get that at subway and for way cheaper. I asked if I could sub and they said for an up charge. Since when is French fires for a sandwich an up charge in Apollo beach? Ok. And no soup option! Now the service. I don't know if it has changed but the bartender and server were no one I have ever seen before. All new and not for the better. The server couldn't answer one. And when I asked for more tea, she said she wouldn't have time to go to the back for a few minutes. Ok , can I have a Diet Coke then? She promptly got me a Diet Coke but here is the kicker... She charged me for both drinks! Because she didn't want to refill my tea I had to pay twice. What in the actual hell is that? Overall, $22 with tip and I left annoyed and stopped at publix to take something back to the office with me. I won't be back. I would not say I came in all the time, but enough to not be treated so badly. Also, I noted when I was there and then online, they need to spellcheck their menu. This is a pet peeve of mine, as I edit contracts for a living. Google is alive and well, use it... Please. read more

I read the negative Yelp reviews, but came here for dinner anyway. I can't give this place anything more than two stars. I ordered a grouper sandwich and it was by far the tiniest piece of fish I have ever received on a sandwich. In fact, the two fries I put together was larger than the grouper that was on my sandwich! It was way, way overpriced for what I received. The side of cole slaw was just a tiny sized portion. For a restaurant owned by a charter boat skipper I expected much better seafood. C'mon...you can do better than that! The beer was good and the service was good, though. Good atmosphere of local people, too. The band was very good. As it is, if you are looking for a good meal, this probably isn't the place for you. I really hope they improve the food, because this place has potential. If they continue to treat their food as a sideline they will probably not make it. Listen to your customers and take your Yelp reviews seriously...they are telling you to improve your food. read more

Went on a Tuesday night where there was a Classic Car Show in the parking lot. Nine of us decided to try the food and ordered at 9pm. They were out of Nightly Specials. Lobster Mac & Cheese, they were out of cheese, ordered roast beef sandwich, no roast beef! Ordered 2 apps, came after dinner served. Issue needed to be looked at is if there is a large event next to your place, make sure menu items are available. Instead of waiting (after seated for 10 minutes) to place drink orders, we went to walk up bar. No other patrons were eating, 10 using bar, but service is bad. One order loaded fries, no cheese available. One chicken sandwich was fish. Server offered to replace, sorry no chicken. Bar scene with karoake, skip the food. Not cheap, either. A good restautant, server, manager would compensate for a bad experience. Nope, no apologies. None of us are returning. Good luck to next owners cuz this place will not make it long based on our experience. read more
