Salt Traders Coastal Cooking

This is consistently my favorite culinary experience in Austin. There’s not a bad item on the menu. This was my 4th visit and they surprise me every time. (Sarah) Jackson was phenomenal with her recommendations for this lunch. I can’t say enough how much I love this place. I’ve brought clients here, my fiancée, everyone I can and it’s good no matter how many people you come with. I know Terry Black’s is around the corner, but come here. There’s good barbecue everywhere, Salt Traders is only here. Thank y’all again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – Exceptional Service & Incredible Food The highlight of our entire evening at Salt Traders Coastal Cooking was our waitress, Jackson J, who was truly a star. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, polished, and incredibly attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of, checking in at just the right moments without ever being intrusive. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine charm elevated our entire dining experience and made the night feel special. Service like hers is exactly what you hope for when dining at a nice restaurant. The food was outstanding from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was delicious and cooked perfectly. The fish and chips and the fried fish and shrimp platter were fresh, flavorful, and

They offer a delicious assortment of fresh oysters. We also tried the calamari and guacamole appetizers. The calamari was tasty and lightly breaded. The guacamole was fresh and thick. The gumbo was flavorful but not spicy (I added a few dashes of Tabasco), and included a nice portion of shrimp. The service was a little slow, the waitress disappeared a few times when we needed her. But Mondays include Happy Hour pricing on drinks and featured apps and dishes throughout the evening, which was a great bonus! They have an extensive selection of drinks on offer.

While visiting the area, we decided to dine at Salt Traders Coastal Cooking, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the experience was top-notch. Our waitress was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly on point the entire time. She made sure we never needed a thing without being overbearing, which is how great service has always been done. Now let’s talk about the food, simply incredible. They were offering $1 oysters during happy hour, and let me tell you, I happily ate oysters until happy hour was over. They were unbelievably fresh and absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was just as impressive, fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. I left beyond satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. Salt Traders is a must-try, and I will definit

We tried multiple dishes, everything was fresh. - Oysters: we tried all of their east coast selection and it was very fresh - Crispy Calamari: the breading was delicious, tasted like tempura. - Tuna tartare stack: it was OK, could’ve used more flavor. The avocado was sitting at the bottom and not mixed with the dish - Steamed muscles: it was very good
