text: My husband and I decided to go here at the last minute on a Friday evening when I did not feel like cooking We made a reservation about an hour in advance and were seated immediately The decor is nice I liked the colors the textures and the distressed brick It has an upscale gastropub feel There are long high top tables in the middle of the restaurant that looked like they held multiple parties of people but we were seated in a booth The booths were very private which we really likednnWe got there at the tail end of happy hour so we ordered our drinks and appetizers immediately We had the pork belly taco and the duck fat fries Both were excellent and honestly if I had just ordered two tacos and the fries to myself it would have been the perfect meal I will definitely return for the taconnFor dinner my husband had slowcooked beef shoulder and I had the baconwrapped pork filet mignon My husbands meal was better Mine was fine but the whole dish was just a little too sweet for my liking After the smoky meaty pork belly taco I was wanting something similar in taste I would get something different next time We also had the bananas foster beignets for dessert They were soooo good nnAll in all I will definitely return to the Salty Sow It was not the best meal I have ever had in Phoenix but it was still excellent from ambiance to service to food and I cannot wait to come back and sample some more of the menu
