The "Salt Palace" isn't really a palace. It's a small building, barely the size of a storefront…read more Inside and outside, it tells the story of Grand Saline and how the town got that name. The building is constructed entirely of rock salt (yes, you can lick the building if you wish) and inside is a small museum that contains salt mining memorabilia and photographs as well as film of the Morton Salt mining operations. You get a free salt crystal as a take away and I bought a fridge magnet for my collection. I spent about 20-30 minutes here, enjoying the memorabilia, learning about salt and salt mining and chatting with a wonderful woman who clearly has a passion about Morton Salt and Grand Saline. I'm super happy that this quirky little spot landed as my 16000th review. If you are driving along I-20 east of Dallas/Fort Worth, this treasure is a 12 mile detour that will take you about 20 minutes out of your way. It's totally worth it. And yes, I've reviewed Morton Salt. https://www.yelp.com/biz/morton-salt-elk-grove-village?hrid=ZBdABefFkBUhTFS4g7Zb0A [Round number review 16000 overall - 188 in Texas - 1505 of 2021.]

Their fried pies are so delicious! I've had many from various places but the crust on these pies…read morewas the flakiest. We bought ten different fried pies and got two free. I had the apple, the coconut and the Bavarian cream. All were worth getting but the Bavarian cream was my favorite followed by the coconut and right there with it was the apple fried pie. The rest of the flavors--lemon, apricot, pineapple, cherry and peach--went to daughters and their husbands. So, so good!
