They offer a good variety of beers on tap to choose from as well as quick and easy bites. The burgers are pretty good as well. The wings were "ok" in my opinion and needed more seasoning. The cashier and server were super busy so i will not fault them on service, but a smile wouldn't hurt. The restrooms are very clean and well maintained. The prices can be a bit on the high side for this demographic but seeing what all they offer makes up for it i suppose. So if you are ever travelling through Rockdale, stop on by the taphouse for a quick bite and craft beer. Try it out for yourself.

It's worth a stop if you're around.

NOTES: - Reservations: available through OpenTable - Parking: free lot next to the building - Online ordering: available on their website through ChowNow for pickup - Happy hour: every day from 4:00 to 6:00 pm - Daily specials updated on their website THE HIGHS: - Hostess and server (Omar) were extremely welcoming and friendly - Container of water on the table so you can refill as needed - Food came out quickly after ordering - Fantastic portion sizes for the price THE LOWS: - Reservation didn't specify inside or outside and it was hot in the patio area THE PRICE: Very reasonable for the portion size and quality of food - All butter biscuits ($7.50) - Whipped cow's milk ricotta ($15.00) - Housemade pastrami sandwich ($22.00 each) - Cheese grits (menu said $8 but were charged $7) The total was $79.56 after tax ($6.06) but before tip. BEST BITES: - Pastrami sandwich (one of the BEST pastrami sandwiches I've ever had... packed with meat, bread is toasted well, and the fries are super crispy) - Biscuits (crispy outside, soft inside, and lots of layers... the molasses chili butter is sweet and melts into the biscuits) THE VERDICT: I had visited Salty Sow 4 years ago but hadn't been back just because there are SO many great places to eat in Austin. After coming back, I think Salty Sow is incredibly underrated and slept on... I already can't wait to visit again and will definitely recommend it to others!

I ordered the Elgin Cheeseburger Combo to go on UberEATS. I tried to call the establishment several…read moretimes to see if the food was ready before heading over to pick up because the UberEATS app showed "Food Could be possibly ready" instead of " food ready" (very strange, I've never seen that before on UberEATS) .... No one would answer the phone... I was worried the establishment could be close but to my surprise when I got there, there was 2 employees there. :/ French fries were not crispy from being in the styrofoam to go container hot and was a bit soggy. The burger was well seasoned and was good but it was soggy too. They forgot to give me a drink that comes with the Elgin Cheeseburger combo and I didn't realize the missing drink until I got home which was too late. Overall, I think maybe my experience would have been different if I dined there. The inside of the establishment was super dark and blacked out. The burger was decent and was better than other places that offered burgers in town. I would order a dine in burger from here again and try other items on the menu. Maybe second time is a charm? :)

TLDR: Restaurant in an old high school band hall that delivers on nostalgic vibes but falls short…read moreon food. The fried green tomatoes are great here but for me, almost everything else was a disappointment. Not as kid-friendly as you'd expect. It pains me to leave such a low rating (and I rarely do) but this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a while. And it didn't have to be that way so hopefully my review can grab someone's attention. This place has so much potential because it's in such a cool location -- the band hall of an old high school (fun decor and cool nostalgic vibes). I had really high hopes for this restaurant but it let me down. Here's what went wrong. THE FOOD: First and foremost, the food was disappointing... except for their vegetable appetizers. The fried green tomatoes were fantastic. Nailed it in terms of texture and flavor. My husband and I were both surprised by how good they were. Their Brussels sprouts appetizer was really good as well. After that, it was all downhill. I had the Mom's Meatloaf with two sides: Cowboy Caviar and green beans. The meatloaf wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly a loaf -- it was like meatballs connected together? I didn't taste the bacon in the tomato sauce and the portion felt tiny -- same size as the sides. The sides were a real letdown. The green beans tasted like they came straight from a Jolly Green Giant can. The Cowboy Caviar (which I usually love) was so bland. It was like they just poured beans and corn and pepper and onion in and that's it. I didn't taste any seasoning. Cowboy Caviar needs to have that zing (many simple recipes use Italian salad dressing). Moving onto my husband's dish which was probably the worst part. His tomato soup tasted like marinara sauce but we were hoping the filet mignon would deliver. It was simply not good. It wasn't as tender as filet mignon needs to be -- it was chewy. It did seem to be cooked as requested (medium rare) but it didn't taste good and seemed flavorless -- almost as if the meat was poor quality. Now, I know that filet mignon is a much more mild tasting cut and less flavorful than a ribeye for instance, but still, something felt very off with this steak. Neither of us enjoyed it and that's a bummer (especially at that price point). KIDS: Usually restaurants like this one are more kid-friendly so I was a bit surprised. Our kids are 3.5YO and 2YO. They brought a booster for my youngest. It had no straps at all (which I'm not even complaining about because those straps are broken at literally every restaurant). We were in a booth so it worked okay mostly. What I'm unhappy about is the lack of coloring options and kids menus. We were not brought any crayons and coloring paper upon seating so we inquired. The waitress said she'd look and ended up coming back with crayons and some paper placemats to doodle on? I respect the ingenuity but I was confused. They have crayons on hand but they don't offer them to the kids? What's the deal with that? They didn't have a kids menu printed anywhere and the waitress just told us the offerings out loud. So is there an official kids menu or not? I'd like to be able to see the prices as well. Also a bit perplexing. We went ahead and ordered one grilled cheese for the kids to share and I'm glad because it was big but also not very good. The bread was too dense so it was more of a bread sandwich. My kids weren't that into it. Almost forgot -- the fries that came with the grilled cheese were actually very good (got to give credit where it's due). TIME: Our food took forever. It wasn't a fun wait -- the kids were getting super restless. The waitress stopped by a couple times to tell us that "our food is just around the corner." Even though it ended up being untrue -- I appreciate her checking in.
