Saturday night dinner and drinks at Timber and Salt. I had the Wagyu burger which was delicious, although too big with no structural integrity. I tried shoving it into my mouth with my hands and no dice, tried cutting it in half, no dice, ended up just knife and fork it but even then it just crumbled away. I would have either a less fluffy bread or less ingredients. Anyways, delicious for sure, even though I alternated meat bites with veggie bites. The drinks can be a hit or miss, Adore was a hit, the bubble gum one a miss. Staff was indiferent and not very attentive. Would give it a 3.5. read more

Safe to say Timber & Salt and Hurrica are the best restaurants in Redwood City. If you are craving some of the best cuts of meat, Timber and Salt has 4 exceptional options. The Baseball cut filet is consistant perfection! Service is second to none. From the minute you walk in the door you are catered to. General manager who sincerely cares about his restaurant and often checks in on everything. 5 stars all the way! read more

Came here for company holiday dinner and the food was phenomenal! Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The highlights were the beef wellington poppers, steak strips, and spicy pasta (I don't remember the exact names of items). Staff were incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating of our large party of nearly 20. They came by our table frequently to top off drinks, clear dirty dishes, and gave us clean plates. I definitely think you get your money's worth with the quality of food and service presented. I would come here again on my own time to sample other things on their menu. I also like that this place is located at the heart of downtown Redwood City with ample street parking around. read more

I've been here twice. Once in 2025 and most recently January 2026 to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday. The staff is lovely and attentive. The food presentation is beautifully done and the taste is amazing! The price is a bit expensive so keep that in mind. Their drinks are stupendous, both the cocktails and alcohol free creations they have. The ambiance is a bit of dim lighting and broody which sets a lovely tone for dinner. read more

Dined at T&S on New Year's Eve. While the food was satisfactory, the standout of the evening was the exceptional cocktail program. Service was efficient from start to finish--orders were taken promptly, and the food arrived quickly as well. I would definitely return to explore more of their cocktails, though I would likely skip the food on a future visit. Food 3 Stars Cocktails 5 Stars read more

Since we were all randomly free on a Sat, we decided to have dinner at a halfway point between SF and SJ. After looking around, we decided on Redwood City. It was easy to make a same day rezzie. I believe I booked our table around 12 noon that day. We were both thirsty and hungry. Tho I say from our order, pur thirst took front and center. I had a spicy margarita earlier so I wanted to stay on my spicy kick with the whoa. Compared to my last drink, this was definitely lighter. Could have used an extra shot. Our of the foos, I enjoyed the fries. Cripsy but soft int he middle. Steak wise, we ordered the ribeye, but they gave us the new york hence the adjustment above. The resto was pretty busy so has a boisterous kinda environment. I think our server was covering a lot of tables as he was running around everywhere. We'd have to flag him down to get more silverware, sauces, etc. Nothing against him since I know how it can be, but maybe they needed more coverage that day. Plus I think someone was shadowing him? Glad I checked this place out. And Redwood City is a fun midway point for my group. REVIEW #3820 read more

Been wanting to hit up this place for a while! Redwood City is transforming with a lot of nice restaurants! Dinner and drinks were delicious! Drinks were good but pricey. Service was excellent. Very nice cozy atmosphere inside. We were running late and had to delay our reservations. Still got there even later due to Redwood City having some type of outdoor event in the plaza. Had to park at the county jail and walk farther than usual. read more

I came here with a couple of colleagues & was surprised at how flavorful & creative my meal was, and how kind, approachable & helpful our service was. We were seated outside, which does have very comfortable heaters if needed on a cold night. The table space was comfortable for a group of three, and we are able to share appetizers & drinks easily. Great for a casual energy while enjoying great food. Everything was a standout, there's nothing I wouldn't order again in the future. The Smash Burger was enormous and allowed me to take home leftovers. A member of our party ordered the Bao again for his entree, they are that good. Whether you're on your own, with a small group or on a date, Timber & Salt brings a classy, approachable quality to this part of Redwood City. Definitely worth a visit. read more

came here on a Tuesday evening, walked in at 6p for drinks + apps for 2 ppl while waiting for our table at another Redwood City restaurant. front of restaurant seating area holds sound quite sensitively, so if you speak loudly - you will pretty much be yelling at all the tables around you lol we had a pair of dinner salads + cocktails; they were pricey at $34-35 per salad (including tax+tip) since we added protein, but perfectly prepared and all specific requests were honored to a tee. (light dressing tossed in salad, parmesan on the side, olive in cocktail) their salad dressings and blue cheese stuffed olives were all made in-house so they were not too salty - delicious! What we ordered: Winter Seasonal Cocktails: That Fellin' $18 Burrata and goat cheese gin, dry vermouth, Suze, eggplant cucumber basil syrup So Alive $17 Blended Scotch, Falernum, bianco vermouch, Absinthe, honey bitters Dinner Salads: T&S Caesar $16 Little gem lettuce, white anchovies, furikake, Masago rice crackers + $9 grilled chicken thigh 6 oz. Asian Chopped Salad $17 Mandarin orange, Napa cabbage, iceberg cabbage, crispy wonton, sesame seed, red onion, soy miso dressing + $9 grilled chicken thigh 6 oz. total bill for 2 dinner salads + 2 cocktails was $111 after 9.825% tax + 20% tip. value for portion sizes could have been a bit better, but overall it was a nice spot with excellent service from our server, Tammy, and the rest of the staff. read more

I wanted to dine at Timber & Salt for a proper dinner date and they did not disappoint! We came for an early dinner without a reservation but they were able to seat us. We were on a tight schedule so we got the Brussel sprouts, garlic whipped potato, and scallops to share. The service was attentive and well-paced. I love the ambiance here; it's comfortable for a solo date or a small group. My gut doesn't tolerate a lot of carbs any more, so I appreciate the veggie- and protein-filled menu. I highly recommend getting variety of dishes to share or nourish yourself. Easy to get to from multiple parking lots and street parking. Will return! read more

Went on a Saturday night for dinner. Got a table right away outdoors. It has succulents planted and also heaters above which was welcomed as it was a little chilly Ordered a couple of non alcoholic drinks. Tell me- was a nice ube and coconut milk based drink. Not overpoweringly sweet. Nice flavor Just a touch- on the sweet side. Sour drink. Didn't taste the guava much. It was kind of a like a unique lemonade Arancini- very tasty with the Calabrian chili. The Meyer lemon aoli was an interesting pairing with it Curry fried chicken- my friend had this and enjoyed it but said that it lacked a carb component Gnocchi Putanesca - the capers and crispy shallots uplifted the dish. read more

Redwood City continues to up their establishment game. Another homer for their libation scorecard. Stopped in for post dinner cocktails and mocktails following dinner at Limon next door (see YR). The continuation of a birthday celebration, our party of six intended to grab seats at the bar, but were graciously offered a table instead. We were welcomed into an intimate indoor space, but open patio seating is also available. The beverage menu boasts expertly crafted cocktails and mocktails (keep in mind they do not offer any accommodations or modifications), by their resident mixologist. Each were balanced, and well garnished encased within an appropriate vessel. Their wine list is ample with a plethora of varietals as well. Being well into my Dry January; I opted for the Easy and Cold Nights - two of their dozen or so N/A choices. Both equally delicious, and enticing to the senses. All others in our party enjoyed their cocktails of choice which ran the gamut of the menu. We did not partake in any food options this visit, but will definitely return to enjoy their offerings. Not worth omitting a star, but slight downside is a hard line no accommodation policy may deter some guests. read more

Enjoyed a Friday night dinner on their patio. Heaters and enclosure kept it reasonably warm. Tables inside also looked cozy, but music in there was a bit loud and most of the two tops were tightly packed--the kind where you're further from your dining partner than the strangers on either side and you have to pretend you aren't hearing every word each other says... Cocktails were solid--they had a good mix of spirit-forward options like the Old Fashioned variants we ordered and more complicated stuff (think house made syrups and infusions). My drink seemed a bit of a light pour for $19, but tasted good. Had buffalo cauliflower and arancini for apps. Both fine, but neither blew us away. Arancini was crunchy but fell apart immediately when cut. Cauliflower was under seasoned and not nearly buffalo enough for me. Fried chicken was well-prepared, greens and cheese grits tasty and not overly salty. It was a great dish. Beet salad lovely to look but on the oily side and not that many beets. Would skip the salad next time. Service was strong. All in all, enjoyed it and will come back, but room for improvement. read more

The food was meh. Seemed to be store bought and not site made. Service was good, but there weren't many full tables. Expensive.

Timber and salt always makes the most delicious burgers. We order them every time. I prefer to swap their fries for onion rings per the recommendation of their manager, Chad. I want to recognize Chad for making our meal enjoyable from the moment we arrived. He helped us choose a better table for our toddler and was so attentive/accomodating throughout our meal. read more

Delicious! We got the ribeye with tuna steak app. The tuna steak app was cheaper and around the same prize as the entree. I usually gravitate towards steak, but decided to mix it up with tuna and it did not disappoint. My only regret for the night was that I ordered a second cocktail before I knew there were dessert cocktails! I will definitely be back for drinks maybe after a movie at cinemark to try the dessert cocktails. Good dinner place for special events. Not very crowded during a week night which helped provide a more intimate dining experience. read more

We'd like to share our experience at Timber & Salt. We visited on a Friday evening, during peak hours, and the restaurant was fully packed. Despite the crowd, the food and drinks were served incredibly fast. We especially want to highlight the bartender -- unfortunately, we don't know his name. He had a large gray beard, a shaved head, and wore big black glasses. A true professional -- focused, efficient, and no unnecessary talk. As for the taste of the food and cocktails -- that's a whole other story. You just have to come in and try it for yourself. We're very grateful to the team for such great service. My wife and I had a wonderful Friday night. read more

Timber & Salt - a restaurant and bar with hipster vibes. Stopped by here with a buddy for a drink at the bar before dinner. We were welcomed immediately upon entering and invited to sit at the bar for our drink. Friendly staff and bartender. I ordered an Old Fashioned, which was crafted with the perfect amount of alcohol and sweetness. My friend ordered the Sweeter Sound which contained Mezcal, strawberry agave, ginger, lime, and bitters. You can also order food or appetizers at the bar, which I'd love to try next time. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Redwood City to try some of their other cocktails and apps. read more

We hosted our board dinner on the patio here a few weeks ago, and I wanted to share a balanced experience. First, a huge shoutout to Debbie M., the events coordinator. She was truly exceptional--thoughtful in her suggestions, incredibly responsive, and made the entire planning process feel seamless. It's rare to come across someone so organized and genuinely invested in making your event a success. [I could give her 10/10] The food itself was delicious and definitely a highlight of the evening. That said, the rest of the service team could use some improvement, as the experience during the event didn't quite match the high standard set during the planning phase. If it was not Debbie, I am unsure how everything would have played out. I highly suggest, if you need to do an event- this is your person. I am hosting one tomorrow with a group of 35 and she is so well prepared to host us. Overall, a great venue with excellent food, made even more memorable by Debbie's outstanding support. read more

We just had a very memorable meal at Timber and salt. We are Old fashioned aficionados and they did not disappoint from the perfectly cut square ice cube to the orange peel garnish on the edge of the beverage. Service was perfectly timed and quite attentive without being intrusive. We started with warm olives and our cocktail. Then we moved onto a beet and greens salad. It was large enough to share which we did. Since we were celebrating 33 years of marriage we both splurged and ordered filet mignon. Each cut was cooked to perfection. Two sides were ordered: mushrooms and butternut squash. The meal was cooked and presented to perfection. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

I came here on a date and we had drinks and appetizers! We split the fries and buffalo cauliflower, and they were both delicious! I especially enjoyed the fries and look forward to coming back to try other items on their menu. I had the Diamonds and Pearls mocktail and it was refreshing and delicious! I don't recall what my date ordered, but he had a cocktail and really enjoyed it as well. Our waitress was very charismatic and attentive! She answered our questions about the menu with ease and was very knowledgeable. I only take a star off because we were seated outside and it was difficult to tell what the ambiance and theme of the restaurant was. It looked like there were available tables inside, so I wish we had been seated in there. However, they did have outdoor heated lamps on a chilly and rainy night, so we weren't freezing even though we were outside! read more

Enjoyed a fabulous meal at Timber and Salt recently. Our table essentially ordered a variety of cuts of steak which were all cooked perfectly. Even better, the steaks are served with a butter or sauce option like chimmichuri, miso butter or red wine glaze. Because the meats are a la carte, we ordered a number of side dishes to share. The Brussel sprouts had great flavor and char. The street corn was also a palate pleaser. Each side dish easily serves 3-4 people. We paired the meals with cocktail specials to round out a great dinner enjoying the crispness of gin and tonic and the smoothness of the old fashion. read more

We had so much fun at Timber and Salt prior to our Fox Theatre show and they were respectful of our time and served us well.The ultimate old fashion and pork belly bar were just the perfect prior snack bite and cocktail. Both very satisfying and tasty. We loved the bar atmosphere with the beautiful warm wood. I can't wait to return and dig into the dinner menu that has a wide selection. read more

Having been to Timber & Salt in RWC a few times now, I figured it's time for a review. For context, every dinner I've had here has been either a birthday dinner or going away dinner with friends. We sat outside two of the times and inside once. Between the two, I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the weather and there are heaters if it gets cold. We've pretty much ordered the same apps and entrees each time and they've been consistent. Some faves from our group are the burger and fries (perfectly crispy), roasted Brussels, spicy cauliflower, deviled eggs, and chicken Caesar salad. Cocktails shine here, love their old-fashioned and even the N/A drinks did not disappoint our group. Pros: Relaxing ambiance inside and out, cozy patio with heaters, consistent apps and entrees, and tasty strong drinks. read more

Woah, I forget about Timber & Salt every now and again, but then so glad when we find our way back in there. The food is always delicious, worthy of a celebratory meal or casual family night out.

Good is very good. But expensive and portions are smaller than expected. Had the Chilean sea bass.

Horrible . Discriminated. Came at 530 pm no resv was told to leave before 730.. Tried to charge 170$ for a burger and sea bass. Terrible service. read more

Expensive for what it seems. Expensive cocktails that are good, but not amazing. Expensive steak that is tasty but not mind blowing. Fried sides were great although heavily fried. Overall good food but for the price I will not likely be back. read more

Who doesn't love an app/side after work with a nice cocktail?!?! Portions are large and delicious -- service was excellent! My favorite was the street corn. Other items: Shrimp had a wonderful mild spicy kick. Brussels were similar to other yummy restaurant experiences. I wish the mashed potatoes had a bit more garlic flavor. I could have probably asked for this quick fix, but I was so hungry! Overall, I would definitely return and recommend to others. read more

Been meaning to come here a number of years. With a relatively small and changing menu, it had been difficult finding the right time to bring our large party over and having something for everyone. It turned out the better way was for just the wifey and me to go! And it was the right decision as the restaurant itself is relatively small. They do have an outdoor patio that we may take advantage of when the weather gets warmer. If, we decide to come back. First off, everything we ordered was good tasting and of a great portion. What an eclectic offering of dishes. Calabrian Chile Arancini was fried goodness, with a heat filled soft interior. My T&S Burger was good perfectly (medium rare), good tasting, and very filling. There was an abundance of fries that accompanied it. Simple but good. The wifey's KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) was interesting but very delicious. There was none of that dish left to take home! So, why 3 stars? Simply put, service. Too slow for my taste. I had to remind our server several times for sweetener, an ice tea refill, etc. I do not even recall her coming over after our entrees were delivered to see how everything turned out. There was not a check up while we were eating our entrees either. It took so long to get our dessert menu that we decided to pass on it even though we were really interested in one of them. read more

Been here a few times, mostly for drinks late Friday nights. Cocktails are solid here but I was shocked that their menu has 0 vegetarian entrees. We had chosen this place for a business dinner where we knew one guest was vegetarian but in past menu photos they typically had at least one vegetarian option for entrees. They were unable to accommodate/ offer an alternative, and so our guest had to settle with 3 sides. I definitely felt pretty terrible about this and surprised this was the restaurant's menu selection- it's not as if things are out of season, it's springtime! The food was ok - I was eh on the ahi tuna (fresh but very salty!!) and deconstructed street corn was just ok. Ambiance is not bad but nothing special and on the louder side. There is outdoor heated seating though. Prices are steep for the serving size. read more

The drinks were good, steak was solid, sides were definitely mediocre. The poke was... not poke. There was peanuts crushed into the avocado which to their credit is mentioned in the menu, but there was just a lot more peanuts than I expected or felt made sense. I also think the tuna was cooked? Just an odd interpretation of poke in my opinion. Our server was nice enough but was interesting that he didn't have answers to our questions without running inside to confirm (but maybe he was new). Overall, it was a fine experience, but overpriced for what you get. read more

Timber and salt is a comfortable spot serving American fare, perfect for a date or happy-hour with a focus on steaks (the dry-aged, prime type), and a better than average Cocktail menu. I found this place after an exhaustive search for a happy hour spot with real food. After coming up short in San Carlos and Belmont, I was directed to timber and salt. My buddy and I walked in here around 630 on a Tuesday. The restaurant was buzzing - fully occupied inside, with a few tables outdoors. We were seated immediately in the outdoor area which was warm and comfortable despite the cold weather. With a quick peruse of the cocktail menu we both settled on an old fashioned. The drink came in a few minutes, it was well blended and most of all - strong. We moved to pick some apps - arancini and mahi mahi then we ordered a wedge salad, filet and ribeye. The apps came after a few minutes. We started eating the cold apps and found it pleasant with the freshness and seasoning on the fish. In contrast the arancini were piping hot, and crispy but perfectly tender and moist in the middle. The mains came and I was pleasantly surprised to find the filet I ordered had a very pronounced and even crust, they aren't lying about their steaks being broiled at very high heat. On top of that, it was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Though it didn't need it, the demiglace was a very welcome addition to flavor the steak. My buddies also enjoyed his ribeye - he remarked it was a little too done from what he asked, the steak was delicious. Though we were fully satisfied with the mains "there's always room for dessert". I opted for some digestif beverages, which were very well balanced and did the trick. All the whole our service was very prompt, well timed while being unobtrusive. It truly was a perfect evening between food and ambiance, especially for the price. Timber and salt delivers steakhouse quality meat and cocktails at a fraction of their prices, allowing them to punch well above their weight. For anybody looking to do a fancier happy hour, or less stuffy date night, this is a must-try! read more

Stopped in for appetizers/light dinner before going to the movie theater next door. The food was great - esp the Calabrian chili arancini and the roasted brussel sprouts - they are a solid 5*. We e also shared buffalo cauliflower (okay - but then I'm not a fan of buffalo sauce) and the falafel entree (also okay). Drinks looked great, but I didn't have one. Good outdoor seating, friendly service and good staff. Would definitely come again! read more

Came in around 5:30pm on a Thursday with a group of 8 who slowly trickled in. The waitress was really nice and accommodating to our later guests. I got the Lovers Rock ($15) and loved it! Slight rose flavor, and stronger ginger flavor but still light overall. I also tried the Sweetest Taboo ($15), which was so intriguing with its ube, coconut, and jackfruit flavors. The drink was milky, and had a unique sweet taste. It tasted like taro milk tea! Was very surprised by this drink. We also got the Pork Belly Bun ($16 for 3), crispy Brussel Sprouts ($13), and Fried Chicken Wings ($17 for 8). All were amazing, with the favorite being the Brussel sprouts that was slightly sweetened with the apple citrusy gastrique and payed over the melted, creamy whipped goat cheese. Pork belly was thick and had a slight kick from the aioli. And the wings were extremely tender with a crisp edge. Overall, loved the environment, service, drinks, and food! read more
