Saltgrass Steak House’s Specialty & Services
Saltgrass’s specialty is Certified Beef Steaks — genuinely hand-cut and mesquite-grilled to order, served with two sides included in the price rather than charged separately, a Texas steakhouse tradition dating back to the chain’s 1991 Houston founding. Beyond the standard menu:
- Named for a real historic cattle trail: the Saltgrass Trail was an actual Texas cattle drive route, giving the brand’s Western identity genuine historical roots rather than a generic steakhouse theme
- Comprehensive gluten-free menu: spanning grilled salmon, steak & shrimp, sirloin, salads, baked potatoes, and even BBQ ribs — a genuinely broad selection compared to most steakhouse gluten-free programs
- Early dinner and lunch specials: value-friendly smaller portions of classic entrées at a lower cost during specific times, popular with budget-conscious diners and busy professionals
