Cousins, lean in and understand that this is a place that you should definitely put on your calendar at least once a month and particularly on Sunday is going to be your favorite day but if you don't like then any other day other week would be great for you.I went here on a Saturday evening with some girlfriends to catch up and eat. During that time of our visit, we talked with the owners and the employees and other guest that were there as we ate our mail. As you can see, we had quite a selection of food here on the pictures However, I decided to come back on MLK day to eat with my boyfriend I was really interested in the breakfast and let me tell you the flavor was on point.The ambience was so amazing. It's very simple and clean and fresh. There was lots of places to pick from an sit on the Saturday night and the Monday morning that we went to eat. I want to circle back to the grits and the fried chicken and the fish and the rice and the drinks. I don't think I've taste everything on the menu yet but go twice a matter of 48 hours or so I did enjoy it.Lastly, I had a procedure in my loopiness of communications. I shared again how great it was to eat at at AVO SALTT!Hey loves, before I forget every Sunday they have a live DJ and I believe the first Sunday of each month they have a live DJ and a horn player come through from New Orleans if I'm not mistaken. Either way, live music or DJ some good food it's a happy place for me. My next visit is planned if I'm not on schedule to work, which is Super Bowl Sunday. They will also host, special, gatherings and celebrations of large and small to accommodate your celebrations.

Another great experience at the SALTT. My husband and I both had grilled catfish, cilantro rice and grilled broccoli and carrots. The grilled fish was expertly cooked without oiliness that catfish is known for. The Cajun seasoning was not too spicy nor overpowering. The cilantro rice was fluffy and a delightful to the palate.SALLT has A New Orleans vibe with a diverse customer base..We will be back again...

Visited today at the recommendation of a friend. Immediately loved the decor and the fact that they had women's basketball playing on the big screen tv. My friend and I walked up to the counter and were greeted by Mr. Derrick. As first time visitors, he graciously walked us through the menu and made recommendations. Brunch was still happening but we decided to order from the regular menu. We opted to split a combination platter with salt & pepper wings, catfish fillets, and shrimp fried rice. My friend ordered a hurricane and I had a cranberry mimosa. I wasn't sure what to expect with the salt & pepper wings but I definitely enjoyed it. I love the light tempura style batter and the little kick that the seasoning provided. The shrimp fried rice was so good that we ordered a side to go. The catfish was well seasoned however it was a little wet for my liking (I prefer my fish fried hard). The hurricane drink was strong but good.We hung around for a bit and watched more basketball. We enjoyed the playlist and found ourselves The service was exceptional and we decided to grab the turtle cheesecake to go.My friend really loved the spot and mentioned that she'd love to come back to host an event there. I'd definitely come back again when I'm in town for the food, service, and ambiance.

This was a really good restaurant in Austin! It's a family-owned seafood restaurant and has a good amount of options to choose from. I opted for the Salt & Pepper catfish which was really good and the seasoned, spicy topping was amazing! I could put that on everything!You order your food and then find your own table. The restaurant has multiple booth seating and chairs/table combos. The food comes out and is hot and fresh! The grits are probably THE BEST grits I've ever had! Definitely recommend trying Saltt if you're in Austin!

We came back to Saltt to try out the Tuesday special which included a drink, tacos & a side for 19.99. Drinks were on point per usual and the crawfish taco blew me away topped with the jalapeño ranch! The jalapeño ranch really put these tacos over the edge! But I'd give 5/5 for the tacos with and with out the ranch lol. The grilled veggies were cooked perfectly , not too soggy , flavorful, with that slight crisp bite to show they were fresh! The staff at the counter is always welcoming and ready to help. Food comes out in about 15 minutes - of course depending on how busy they are. The modern decor , lighting, & murals set the vibe. They often have events and DJS. Good for groups , couples ,friends and lone wolves alike. Looking forward to my next visit.

Staff here is amazing. There was a mixup with our order and they quickly corrected it with no problems. I ordered the catfish and grits which was good, but when I added the salt and pepper topping that my husband ordered -- OMG! It was fire. I wished I knew that ahead of time and I would have ordered for my fish too. I really wanted the peach Bellini but go figure it wasn't working. Oh well. I went with a green apple/piña colada mix for my daiquiri instead which was really good. When you walk in, head to the counter, order and find a seat. They bring the food to you after you find a table. Quick and easy!There is a DJ for brunch on Sunday which was a nice tough.

I had the pleasure of dining at Saltt upon recommendation of KAZI's very own Pepper Thomas during a day trip to Austin. And I must say we were not disappointed! We had a group of about 11 and when we arrived we were greeted immediately by the owner. He was welcoming and had already reserved a space for our party. I appreciated that he gave us history and explained the vision behind this new restaurant; just 8 months old. I also appreciated that it's a family run business with his Dad and Mom front and center taking orders and making sure all went well. The open space was very clean, light and modern. I really enjoyed the murals on the wall and vintage NBA arcade game. Now on to the food! Our party ordered a bit of everything and nothing disappointed . I didn't get a pic of every but know that the food was fresh, plentiful and seasoned well. One person in our party had the boiled crab entree which comes with snow crab legs. Unfortunately they were out of snow crabs so substituted with blue crab instead. Let me tell you, I'm usually not a fan of blue crab at all. But Saltt may have changed my mind. The garlic butter seasoning has the right about of spice and was all around fantastic! The drinks were great as well; from the daiquiris to mimosas. Nothing was too sweet or too strong. Also, the owner's Mom served up a pretty outstanding French 75 and I was impressed! Also, they have $3 mimosas all day on Saturday and Sunday which is a win in my book! When back in Austin, we'll definitely be stopping by Saltt again!

My family and I have been here a number of times-- we love the food and the customer service is top tier. Our favorites are: boudin balls, grits and the chicken and WAFFLES!! Bless yourself and try the waffles, they are absolutely delicious! They have a wide variety of drinks with fun flavors-- my favorites are any of the daiquiris; and the live DJ always has me dancing out of my seat. It's a great spot for brunch, dinner and parties!

I gave this place a try and it was delicious! I got the fish plate to go. Now I'm plotting my next visit because I need to try the rest of the menu. The mom and son at the counter were both very nice, welcoming, and friendly.

Austin's Very Own Saltt is located at Northcross Center, at the southwest corner of Anderson and Burnet. You'll enter into a bright, open space, and walk down the center aisle to place your order at the counter.The menus are primarily displayed on the TV screens behind the counter, which unfortunately rotate through a few slides, so if you're halfway through reading, you'll have to wait for it to cycle. It might be helpful for customers to be able to reference the full menu on a printout. For instance, it's not exactly clear what comes as a side portion, or even what all the options and combinations are, for say, sides and appetizers. That said, they do have a printed brunch menu, but again that printed menu doesn't contain all the information (for instance, it doesn't list tacos).But the general theme is this: choose a protein (shrimp, chicken, (cat)fish, crawfish), choose a preparation and/or flavor (fried, grilled, salt & pepper, taco format), and choose some sides. Their boudin balls are considered an entree, not a side or appetizer, and the minimum amount of them which can be ordered is three. Similarly, grits are unavailable as a side, and seem to be available only for brunch.For drinks, they've got a soda fountain and daiquiris.Food: amazing grits, grilled shrimp, boudin balls, and fish preparations (grilled, salt&pepper, fried). Their fried chicken & waffles are interesting: a crunchy, candied fried exterior, but the meat itself was underwhelming. For their crawfish, I felt the breading to crawfish ratio was too high, so I couldn't really taste the crawfish (which were reasonably small).Environment: if you arrive when it's busy, expect there to be a DJ playing music with the volume up. If you come early and there are fewer patrons, the environment is pretty chill. After you place your order, you'll be handed a number on a stand; you choose your own table.When the food is ready, the staff will come over with silverware, napkins, and plates, along with the food either together or shortly after. Murals adorn the walls, and a few TVs exist on the south wall.Saltt is reasonably popular for events; for instance when we went the first time, they were hosting Alpha Sigma Theta's sorority party, which blocked off the northern half of the restaurant as reserved.Conclusion: delicious filling food, partially-displayed in-restaurant menus, happy people, DJ'ed music, clean bathrooms, hospitable staff and service.
