    Boneless Wings w/ Fries & Drink
    Alex C.

    I got the lemon pepper boneless wings and fries. Portion size was huge. Both tasted fresh. The workers were super size and food came out quick. I will say the chicken could have used a bit more of the rub. Pretty good place over all

    Base sauce

    We made a special trip for this, and came away disappointed. I had the bare sauce which I very much liked, wife had plain. We thought the chicken was overcooked, chewy and dry. Fries were cold, but nicely seasoned.

    Got the fried pickles and it was a little bit of a wait but a huge amount of food. Tasty but a little salty. Also won a hot sauce from scanning their QR code. Got the hottest sauce since most of them were pretty sweet. Place is hot inside and could use more a/c.

    Great food! Reasonably priced. Had the Mac & cheese bowl (so good). My hubby had the Nashville chicken sandwich. That was really good too.

    Let's walk through my experience. Their shared parking lot is small and not user friendly. Access from Tamiami isn't great from the east side. On a Wednesday night at 6:50 the place was sort of dark, but seemed clean. The young woman that served me at the counter was professional and nice enough, but I would not call her unfriendly but very no non-sense and not briming with personality. As I was the only customer maybe she was letting boredom get to her. I placed my order, chicken and waffles and a side of Mac and Cheese. The order was to go. I live 5 minutes from this location, if there is traffic. When I got home I ate immediately. The waffles were soggy. My guess is the way they pack their cardboard contain is the problem. The moisture from the freshly cooked chicken is soaked in by the waffles. Since I hate soggy food, the waffles were disappointing, although their flavor wasn't all bad. They do seem to use a bit much vanilla (think it was vanilla) in their batter. The chicken was not at all crispy. Had the chicken was tender, had nice flavor but the skin was kinda gross it was so soggy. The price, with tip, was okay. The value just wasn't there. This is my second visit there in 3 years. I doubt I'd rush back or recommend the place. There are just to many places in SRQ that offer a better ROI. Now, crispy chicken and waffles I don't have to ring out, I'd go back.

    Great place. A real asset to the restaurant community of Sarasota. Friendly staff, clean dining room, reasonable prices and great food. And don't let the name fool you, it's not all HOT. There's a spice temperature for every taste bud. Can't wait for another meal at this gem of an eatery.

    Strips with After Burner Sauce & Sandwich with Angry Hot on the side!

    Great Nashville hot chicken spot locally. Went with scorpion heat. Not bad, I'll have to work courage up to higher level next time.

Immediately seated and had a great waitress. Alex took care of us and she gets 5 stars!! My humans ordered a wide range of food. American standard Cheeseburger, Grilled Chicken sandwich, Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowl, and a crispy chicken sandwich. I of course got the American cheeseburger and green beans. (no salt, no seasoning). My humans all loved the food and a good portion for the price. Everyone tried the Chipotle Bowl and some said we are getting that next time!!! Music to my ears-that meant we would be coming back here!!!! Alex made some special tea's (papaya and pineapple flavored). That seemed above and beyond the normal drinks and the humans kept saying how delicious it was. The decor in the place is pretty cool. All Ford themed and some cool cars and car things. . The bathrooms are a must see (even if you don't have to go). This was a little experience to go with my meal. Back to Alex.... brought me a bowl of ice water, kept checking on my humans and kept them filled up with drinks and made sure the meals were perfect. This was definitely a good stop and highly recommend it!!!

The food was excellent & super fresh! We especially liked the salads and bowls which are new to the menu. Also, the manager went out of her way to get my wallet back to me after forgetting it on the table. Going the extra mile meant a whole lot & saved me a 3 hour round trip. Thank you for being awesome!

This time we didn't see dolphins but plenty of ospreys, pelicans, and other cool birds. I am always treated like royalty here and Courtney did the same. Courtney made sure we had all our drinks and the food was perfect. My human companions got the Admiral plate, Island Tacos, and a cheeseburger. Everything cooked perfect and plenty to eat. I of course got a cheeseburger (rare) and green beans. Perfectly cooked and I also managed to score some mahi from one of my humans and it was also delicious. The decor is excellent and gives off that beachy feel vibe. It's always nice that dogs are welcome. I have to say this was one of my favorite visits here. Met an out of state family and had a nice visit with a young fella by the name of Rocco. He gave me his frisbee from his kid's meal. That's the kind of people Old Slaty Dog attracts. Really cool special people and dogs. Well done Old Salty Dog and Courtney!! Highly recommend this for locals and if you are visiting from out of state you have to make this a must go to place!! I didn't do such a good job of taking picture of my humans food as I was busy playing with Rocco-oh well next time :)

No issues at all with the service. The two stars are for the food... I ordered the Firecracker Wrap with deep fried chicken, my partner ordered the hot dog and shrimp appetizer. My chicken was bland and mushy inside of the wrap, the side of coleslaw it came with was a 3 bite portion. My partner's hot dog was also bland, absolutely not worth the price. If quality and flavor matter to you, I would 100% skip this spot.
