The service was outstanding! One server in particular was extra attentive; she's from Florida (Puerto Rico). She somehow could foresee when we needed more drink, more napkins, etc. And she was a waitress, actually waiting instead of interrupting like most servers these days. The food was perfect: oysters were fresh, the shrimp enchiladas were so delicious! The sourdough bread was hearty and were direct out of the oven, so good. Now their rice was too salty, not my favorite. But overall, I'm very pleased. This was my first time here and now we're putting it on our restaurant rotation list. Hopefully we'll come here a couple of times per month. Can't wait!

Soooo good!!! I am visiting and this place came highly recommended. We got the bbq shrimp and blackened fish sandwich. It was delightful. So flavorful. Very well seasoned. Our server was so sweet.

Monday night dinner and we were seated immediately. Very nice uncluttered decor but elegant and comfortable at the same time. We saw some folks dressed in shorts and some folks dressed in suit and tie. Our waiter Skyler was friendly, knowledgeable and had our first drinks to the table while we perused the menu. Without asking a two bite appetizer was delivered to our table. I think it was 2 kettle chips with a dab of smoked fish dip. Yummy. We ordered grilled oysters and a house salad for our appetizers. The oysters had a great flavor and the salad had a nice balance of fresh, sweet and acidic. We wanted some bread to pair with our salad but we didn't want a whole basket so Skyler brought us a plate with 2 slices of Focaccia bread. Perfect. Skyler also suggest wines to pair with our dinners that was spot on. I had the wood fired salmon and my wife had the special shrimp and scallops dish. Both dishes were wonderful and tasty. Thanks. We will be back.

The knowledgeable staff recommended the fish taco’s and it was exquisite! Not your topical taco, the shell is covered with melted cheese and it comes with burrs broth that pairs so well with the tacos

Winnie L

Service was hospitable and quick. The Birrira tacos and rice are amazing! Fish and chips were good, could probably use more seasoning but still good. Strong drinks! I’ll be back

Michael Stine

Oysters, ceviche, cocktails 🍸, fish and chips, Birria Fish Tacos 🌮. Yum! First visit for my wife and I. Great experience! Michael provided excellent service. Attentive, knowledgeable and funny. Perfect combo for a waiter! We will be back! Highly recommend this restaurant 👌

Salt Traders is an upscale / non traditional seafood restaurant owned by the folks behind Jack Allen's Kitchen. Dishes are comparatively small, but extraordinary in presentation and quality. You should get one (or more appetizers), even if you normally don't at other restaurants. They have rotating chef-created specials, and I highly recommend whatever is on the menu for the day. What stood out is that all dishes we tried are perfectly seasoned, with unique flavors and textures that elevate the dishes above expectations!

After getting out early on the last day of school, I wanted to take the kiddo to lunch. My son wanted seafood, and we had never tried Salt Traders, so we stopped for lunch. We arrived at the opening, so there was no wait. I had the Shrimp and Grits dish, which was delicious, and my son had the Shrimp Hot Po' Boy. The Po' Boy came with a spicy sauce that they kindly put on the side for my son. The Shrimp and Grits were really good. I will be back for more someday. The Po' Boy was an excellent sandwich with delicious shrimp, bread, and pickled onions. The food and service were excellent, and I will be back with the wife and kid someday (she already asked when we are going to go again).

Our first time at the restaurant! Love the modern coastal decor. We were immediately seated for Saturday brunch without a reservation. The food was cooked to perfection. The staff was attentive especially Kenny with his Ernest Hemingway description of the items on the menu. We loved his description so much that we ordered everything he recommended. We definitely will return. It is a lighter healthier faire type of menu and we truly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere!

This spot definitely gets packed for dinner. Open Table reservations are highly recommended. We were able to get a table before our reservation for Happy Hour. Our server was friendly and we never felt rushed to order. His attention to detail was top notch with a table spill, oyster stand, and straw requests. The entire staff was friendly and very team oriented. This location/staff does not disappoint for warm Texas hospitality, conversation and fresh entrees.

Nice restraunt but l went w someone who has a serious allergy to any kind of pepper. Well the breadings are all pre made w lots of pepper. The server & mgr were so gracious and understood we had to leave. Def would try them if circumstances were different. Very clean ritzy place.

Zamara

Food was fresh and tasty. Was a little bummed they stopped happy hour on me at 6 minutes so make sure you order before the happy hour ends. Loved my gulf oysters. Felt the blackened fish sandwich could have had a little bit more seasoning, but the Mocktail was amazing and I loved my keylime tart.

Leydjenne Carter

I had an overall good dining experience at this Salt Traders Costal Cooking. The prices are a little steep, but the food presentation and atmosphere is really nice. I ordered the the wood fired salmon, which was ok - not my favorite, however the accompanying items (potato salad and asparagus) were divine!!!! The coconut mousse desert was so delicious and light - I would highly recommend it! The service was also wonderful - staff were extremely friendly and attentive!

Tim Sams

Their fish and chips are excellent, but they’re smoked fish dip needs a little work. It’s very dry almost like tuna fish out of the can. Their service was quite slow and they’re not very quick at getting your glass refilled.

Kim Galvan

Great atmosphere and service. They brought out a complimentary sample of the fish dip and house-made chips to start us off. The dip was perfectly smoky and salty, not overwhelmingly “fishy” at all. And the house made chips were incredible! Crispy, salty, seasoned just right. Hubby ordered oysters as an appetizer and said they were great. I’ll have to take his word for it ‘cause, you know, “fool me once…” LOL For entrees, we ordered the fried shrimp & fish platter that came with homemade French fries and also ordered the scallops & risotto. Honestly, the fish & shrimp were perfectly coated and not overcooked at all. The breading was just crispy enough to compliment the tenderness of the shrimp and fish. The fries were skin-on traditional style with a touch of sea salt. As for the scallops and risotto, I have to say that I felt the basil parmesean risotto and arugula overpowered the scallops. While the scallops were perfectly seared, their sweetness was only uncovered if you ate them by themselves. I think the underlying basil flavor is what made this dish less than perfect for my taste. The bitterness of the arugula was also a bit of a distraction to the pallet, so I just pick it out and pushed it to the side. If I were to order it again, I would ask if the risotto could be prepared without the basil and would ask the cook to leave off the arugula. Overall, it was a very nice meal, and the next time we drive through Round Rock and are in the mood for seafood, we’ll give it another visit.

Christl Colven

Mixed as far as the food went. Oysters were great, 1/2 gold coast and 1/2 New Brunswick. The shrimp carbonnara risotto was good, as well as the snapper collar. The Birria tacos lacked flavor, as well as the dipping sauce. The hot sauce is vinegar with heat, so there is not much help there. The waitress was helpful and nice. The atmosphere is bright and nautical.

Service was slow. Server was pleasant, asked question but didn't wait for answer. I didn't ever get my salad, but I wasnt charged for it. Non alcoholic beverage was pricey and so packed with ice it was literally 4 sips and gone. Fish and chips were good, but cod was no better than Culver's. I guess you pay for ambiance. Portions were large, but I was unable to request a to go box. Made in house potato chips were good. My husband said east coast oysters were great, gulf oysters were just ok. He enjoyed his wood fired salmon. Dessert was delicious. Chocolate brownie with small dip of ice-cream and butterscotch topping. TIP: Go during happy hour for better pricing on oysters and bar drinks.

First off I wanted to say the service was excellent our server answered all our questions in detail about the food and how they cooked their food being our first time there. The Chips and tuna dip were really good the chips were crunchy and the tuna dip had a nice smokey taste to it. The calamari was great it was crispy and light with the batter. Loved the fresh oysters we had there were three different types of oysters they served that you can choose from the menu. I would recommend getting the fish and chips there and the southern fish tacos. Although the fried fish were crispy the fries were a little soggy. The fish tacos were delicious you could pick if you wanted the fish fried or smoked and I got the one that's smoked there were a lot of flavors packed in the fish tacos with the pickled jalapeno and red onion. Overall the food here is mediocre the steak was okay and the shrimp enchiladas were a bit salty but love the rice that came with it. The smoked salmon was not as flavorful as we expected it to be felt like it was missing something.
