    Pasta

    I got the Cajun spaghetti it was spectacular!! I loved it so much and the service was amazing and the dessert

    Outstanding as always! A group of 10 of us early in a Saturday evening and we were well taken care of by our waiter. I did miss his name because of the noise level. I had the halibut which was perfectly cooked. My husband had the jambalaya pasta and he couldn't quit talking about how good it was. We took zero pictures but just know this is a great place every time we come. It is a busy little place so get there early or plan on waiting.

    We've been looking forward to eating here since it was on tv many years ago, and we were finally in the area close enough to make a stop for dinner on Friday night. As we entered, all that we could smell was fresh paint. And not the clean fresh smell of paint, but more of a pungent won't be able to taste anything paint. We overheard others asking about the smell as they had finished eating and the hostesses said there was painting going on next door. I had looked over the menu online before arriving and noted the snarkiness and sarcasm - don't ask for substitutions and incomplete parties will not be sat. With 2 of 3 of us there, we were snarled at and tossed a pager and told to let them know when the other person arrives. Ok, I get it. It's a small place, it would slow table turns to seat incomplete parties OR we could've added to the ticket by purchasing appetizers and drinks while waiting. But ok, we waited a whole 2 minutes and our 3rd arrived. Very excited to try the food and figured out our order. We ordered the crab dip and bread. The bread was good, but the crab dip was no more than real crab (at least!) mixed with cream cheese. It was visually unappealing and tasted just as lackluster. My cats would've appreciated it. Needless to say we pushed it to the table's edge and the server thought it meant we wanted it boxed to go. Got 2 of the TV dinners (very cute concept!) as it was basically a bento box of assorted items from the menu. The gumbo broth was good, the protein in it was quantifiable, but tasted like there was not much simmer time or seasoning to let all the flavors gain some depth. The texture of the shrimp & grits was slimy and inedible - and I've had many shrimp & grits which is one of my favorite dishes...but not here. The goat cheese salad was amazing! Best thing I had overall. And then came dessert, we ordered the bread pudding and the fancy dessert was cornmeal blueberry upside down cake. The bread pudding was all wrong. The formed shape and smooth texture was nothing like a bread pudding should be. The blueberry cake was very close to a Cracker Barrel blueberry pancake, but even more overloaded with berries. At least it sort of felt good for you. We didn't eat much of those either, and the arrogance of the ambiance didn't even cross our server's mind that we were displeased. I guess he thought we just wanted to take it all home? The server's service was good, except for reading the table. The hostesses were too preoccupied with her family also dining there. The prices were fair for the serving size and food quality. The atmosphere was nice, except for the overpowering paint smell. Needless to say, we won't have any reason to return. I know this is a favorite restaurant for the area, but we were not even slightly won over. That's ok, that's why there's variety, choices, and the freedom to choose. Best of luck!

    Our first time dining at Gogo Gumbo, and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was absolutely delicious, the dessert was scrumptious, and the service was exceptional. We'll definitely be back!

    We started with a crab dip appetizer, and then shared the gumbo, because how could we not get the gumbo?? The kids each got fried catfish and popcorn shrimp and both liked their meal. Hubby got the Jambalaya Pasta, which he loved. I got the southwest seafood something? They change their menu pretty often so I'm not sure what it was called, but it was great! The desserts all looked amazing, but we all shared the Jack Daniel's chocolate mousse pie and the bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream. Holy smokes-both were great! We were pleasantly surprised by the food served at this restaurant! There's a reason this place is known as the "fancy place in Boyd". I highly recommend! Hubby said this has been his favorite spot we have tried so far

    We had dinner here last night. We were told it would be about 30 minutes until a table was available and we actually surprised we thought it would be longer. We ended up being seated within 15 minutes which was AMAZING! Once seated we were able to order pretty quickly as we knew the menu very well I can't believe I've never reviewed this establishment before. my friend ordered the dinner with the shrimp and crab gumbo a great choice for someone that wants to try a little bit of everything. We also had the hot crab dip which was amazing and I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. We were so full that we passed on dessert but look forward to trying one in the future. The restaurant was pleasantly busy but not overly loud which was nice. Our server spent very little time with us, but we understand he was busy. We will be back!

    First time checking this place out. I am highly allergic to crab so I should have reviewed the menu before coming. A lot of the food has real crab so if you love crab... this place is for you! I ordered the halibut with brusselsprouts because it's a crab free dish. I enjoyed the meal, butter sprouts were good. The fish was a little over cooked but still good. The place gets packed so be prepared! Also BRING Your Own Wine! It has a shabby chic vibe!

    We have been meaning to go and give this place a try since we moved here last year. Man, I am so mad we waited this long! The place is called GoGo Gumbo in Boyd. Everything is house made and freaking amazing. What you see pictured is called the TV dinner. It's a Bento box with crab cake and slaw, chicken and sausage gumbo(you can upgrade to crab and shrimp gumbo), shrimp and grits and a GoGo salad(baby greens, baby spinach, sliced pecans, feta cheese and house made balsamic). Also my daughter's Cole slaw and one of the hush puppies from her dinner. She gave it to me willingly! Everything on the plate was freaking amazing. The crab cake was tender and almost melted in my mouth. Shrimp and grits was cooked to perfection and creamy. Salad was crisp fresh and down right delicious. The gumbo was seasoned perfectly and piping hot. I almost melted the roof of my mouth. Not pictured is the key lime pie. So fresh and tart, again simply amazing! Well worth the drive and it will not be our last time for sure!

    Always great food! A little hole-in-wall restaurant in Boyd. Save room for dessert and bring your own wine.

    Does this restaurant use peanut oil to fry catfish and shrimp?

    I have no idea. Why don't you give them a call?

    My husband and I stopped here on our way back from marble Falls. They were pretty busy. They ask if…read morewe had reservations we did not so we had a choice to sit at the bar or outside, but we had to be gone by a certain time because even the barstools are reserved. So make sure you make a reservation. The food was amazing, pricey, but you get what you pay for! The employees were very attentive and friendly. No drinks were great too. It's a nice place to go for special occasions like anniversary or birthday. Recommend the place.

    Another amazing meal at Salt!…read more This was our second visit to Salt and we were joined by another couple who've been here with us before. We started out in the Speakeasy with pre-dinner cocktails. The chairs and sofas are real comfortable. There were some people at the bar and that made it pretty noisy in there. But the drinks were enjoyable and the bartender was great. We transitioned to dinner in the small room off the front entry door. We'd reserved the 4-top in the center of the room like we did last time. Perfect spot. Our server here once again was Rian. She is amazing. She knows the menu well and as always is quite pleasant and helpful. We ordered drinks and thought about the menu. Then we ordered appetizers and our meals. The 4 of us ordered as appetizers: - Shrimp Cargo - Scallops - Bowl of Shrimp and Crab Chowder For dinner, we ordered: - Sea Bass plus Wedge Salad plus 4 Coconut Shrimp - Bacon wrapped Shrimp with Grits - Avocado and Crab Salad plus Lobster Mac and Cheese - Beef Tenderloin Medallions The food was amazing and the portions sizes were great. We were too full for dessert and took leftovers home. After dinner, we went back to the speakeasy for a nightcap. Looking forward to our next time at Salt.
