Wow. I can't believe I haven't written a review for Salt Creek yet. My family has been coming here for 20+ years. My Dad loved this place. We used to come as a family and sit in the bar. He had a favorite waitress there and we would always sit in her section. We have had many events here over the years, renting out their private room. We even had his celebration of life here on the patio a few years ago. This place has been a staple in Valencia forever. I will say the last visit was not quite up to its standards but I'm sure it was not a trend. The baby back ribs were a bit disappointing, dry and less flavorful than usual. But typically they are tender, fall off the bone. I also noted the service isn't as great as it used to be. One time years ago, there was a pretentious bartender who felt he needed to educate me on my favorite drink. By the way, he didn't, especially since he was wrong. But overall, we've been happy with our visits and many family memories we have made here. The food is usually fantastic, but I must say I typically stick with the baby back ribs because they are delicious. Drinks are usually good too. I do believe they still have live music in the bar some weekend nights as well. And it's in a great centralized location by the mall. It's a must try. read more

Dani was our waiter. She is normally behind the bar. She was amazing at keeping our drinks full. Our food came out fast. I had the short ribs and my husband had the Sea Bass. Absolutely delicious. The gorgonzola mac & cheese is a must!! I highly suggest getting the trader Vic drink. It is so freaking good. Knocked this dinner date out of the park. Thank you for a wonderful night out with no kids. Topped it off with cheesecake and a cappuccino. A++++ read more

We came to Salt Creek in Santa Clarita to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. We had a party of 13 and called ahead to make reservations. When we arrived, they seated us in a very dark corner, and the table setup made it difficult for anyone to get in and out. Even our waitress struggled to squeeze between our table and the booths behind us. The seating arrangement definitely felt off for a large party. As for the menu, I personally found it very basic. Nothing really stood out or made me think, "I have to try that." Most of us ended up ordering the pasta with the steak. We also ordered two appetizers the bruschetta and the charcuterie board. The food itself was okay. Not bad, but nothing memorable. For a birthday celebration or special occasion, I honestly wouldn't recommend this place. If you're catching a movie nearby and want a quick bite, then sure it works for that. But for a special occasion, I didn't feel the ambience or quality matched what we were hoping for. The lighting is very dim, the overall vibe is dark, and it just didn't feel festive or elevated. Our bill came out to around $800 for the 13 of us. I don't mind paying higher prices for great food and a great experience, but in this case, I didn't feel the value matched the cost. For the price point, I expected something a bit more special. Would I come here again? Most likely not. read more

It was an early Mother's Day dinner with my wife, my mom, and my mother in law. Everything went smooth and my mom is in a wheel chair but they made her very comfortable . Our moms really enjoyed the service and meal, Thank you so much. read more

I had a gift card with unknown funds on it and for lunch had time to use it. I enjoyed the food ordered. The service was spectacular. A gorgeous woman named Heidi was our waitress who was pleasantly kind and was a great server overall. She was easy to talk to unlike other restaurants I have been to with poor service. The interior was clean, dark and gloomy. It had a nice vibe going on with it and salt Greek grille has been here for many years for that reason. After 30+ years ever since I was born and walked to the regal movie theaters nearby, I haven't tried this place until today. What a shocker! Comparing BJs and salt creek grille since they are next to each other and serve similar food, salt creek grille is by far better between the two. Better service quality and food. The only con is the price. The food here, at its cheapest plate is $20. Most of the appetizers are also $20 each but the quality of the food and the value you get are exceptionally well done. I want to come here again if I could in the future. I couldn't believe how good this place is. Way better than Cheesecake Factory as well. Price for my French dip sandwich and fruit was about $22. Not great, but it was tasty. The other plate was a turkey sandwich. Generic, but nonetheless tasty and cooked properly. The sweet potato fries I could live without. The French dip was a 5/5. I enjoyed the flavor and texture more than others I have tried in the past. The turkey club or whatever it was, also a 5/5. The fries were soggy though and I didn't like them. My fruit was a solid 5/5 organic and fresh cut fruit in a bowl, couldn't say I didn't like it. Overall, I recommend the place for dating, birthdays or special events although expect the higher price for food and tips etc. not sure if I tipped enough, but I hope it was enough. Time to receive food was short and more importantly, the service was great and I enjoyed Heidi a lot. I'll come back here again sometime with friends or girlfriend. And next to the movie theaters is a win/win. I love movies. read more

Roll us outa here! With my family, whenever you eat out it's some kind of celebration. We overdo it. Darn. The service by Aisley was Awesome. She was attentive, super friendly and funny. She went over and above. There's not too many places that I can commend the "over and above" statement. It was well deserved. Our picks for appetizers were the Shrimp and Mushroom, Ahi stack, Bacon wrapped shrimp and Lobster Bisque. I ordered the ribeye, medium, and loved the chimchurri and Bearnaise sauces. My husband had the filet and Lobster tail. I have to say all our orders were cooked to perfection. Our daughter had the creamy mac but was super excited to have the Chocolate Soufflé! We ate outside and enjoyed the fresh air. It was a joy to visit this establishment after being out of state for a few years. SCG has kept its high standards for service and food. Bravo! read more

Salt Creek Grille - New American Near Me - Valencia, California

I've lived locally since Salt Creek opened and had only tried Mother's Day brunch about five years ago, which was fantastic. My recent visit was a huge disappointment. The spinach artichoke dip was bland and runny, the meat in the stroganoff was way over cooked, and o never received the avocado that was supposed to be in my salad. The server was very kind but the service was very slow-spinach dip took 15 minutes to receive. I enjoyed the ambiance and the restaurant was clean. Honestly, I'm being generous with 3 stars but I gave that score because I suppose it could be a very off day for them. read more

For the price they charge it truly is mediocre in presentation and quality. Ordered well done, got raw, sent it back got, the same back. Didn't eat it and manager didn't feel the need to apologize or even take it off the bill. I can get a far better meal at Islands. Truly a joke! Over priced lipstick on a pig!!! read more

It's rare for me to leave a two star review, but Salt Creek Grille sadly earned it. I imagine that their owner believes that they strive for excellence, but what Dear Hubby, Sweet Granddaughter, and I experienced was an extremely mediocre meal for a big ticket price. The Only bright spot was our server, who was attentive, friendly, and professional. Wish we could say that the quality of the food coming out of the kitchen matched his efforts. We chose to sit outside on a lovely 75 degree wind-free Sunday afternoon (in January!). The hostess told us that we could seat ourselves, but didn't follow up by bringing us menus. The fire pit was lit, which was a visual enticement. The benches around it would be great for having a drink, but there wasn't any place for food plates, so we sat at a high top wooden table. Those tables have been left to age in the elements. Might be made of ipe or teak wood, and desperately in need of a sanding and oiling to refinished the badly chippy surface. No placemats meant no clean place for silverware once out of the fabric napkins. The little annoyances and lack of care started to show up and pile up. For the prices charged I'd expect a much nicer ambiance, including some table decor, like maybe small succulents or the like. Nada. Speaking of prices, aka for food -- the calamari appetizer was very hit or miss with largely very rubbery-textured rings which were hard to chew/swallow. The light breading also had virtually no flavor. The remoulade sauce on the side was too spicy for me, but the tangy red sauce was just right. DH and I also shared the house salad, probably the best of our order choices. Thumbs up for plentiful candied walnuts. I should have asked for the gorgonzola on the side, as I avoid dairy. They were very generous with it, which I normally would have appreciated, but struggled to eat around. That one's on me. The grilled artichoke app was good, if not remarkable, and quite undersized for the price. There wasn't much tasty flesh on each leaf to enjoy. The dipping sauce looked like it had been sitting for a while. We ended up sending the calamari back, and trying the bacon wrapped shrimp instead. Meh. Overcooked and pricey at almost $5 per shrimp. SG was starving, but not that happy with her mac & cheese. It was a large portion, but not that appetizing. It turned out to be mac and glue-y sauce. It looked like the consistency of canned nacho cheese that they ladle over tortilla chips at the fair. Ugh. The kids' meals don't include a drink, but do offer a dish of chocolate or vanilla ice cream at the end. By the time we paid for tip and the uninteresting food (just one lemonade / no refills) with waters, it was over $80. Ridiculous! read more

Salt creek was a nice experience and what was better is that it was my mothers birthday so the server made it a 4 star and I want to say thank you Ken for the wonderful host your are. The overall vibe is your classic steakhouse, lots of dark wood , kind of with a western kick. There is lots of seating and it's mostly booth seating but you will be comfortable. The service was fantastic Ken was great and I let him know it was my mother's birthday and he made sure to make it special. He answered every quesee had and my mom is picky with her margaritas so don't take it personally that she was not vibing with the ones you made . I drank some of them and I liked them. The food was pretty good for the most part, for a classic steakhouse I think you have the basics down. The steaks were pretty much on point I would have liked mine a bit more on the rare side for the med rare but I loved that when I cut into the steak there was an even cook on both sides with the pink in the middle. My mother's steak was just how she wanted it and that's all that mattered to me to be honest. I do think you need to elevate the sides a bit , there are some veggies out there that can really change up your dishes, charred Brussels, broccolini, roasted carrots and beets, I do like your sides but I think to stay current I would look over the menu and see how you can modernize some of your dishes. Your wild Mushrooms were actually pretty good, im usually not fond of the sauce that some steakhouses put in it but paired with the steak it was great but only because the steak was slightly under seasoned so the savory from the mushrooms was a good complement. My mother's potatoes were pretty greasy... and it is because of the cheese and if you add oil in the cast iron. I would suggest getting a good crisp to the potatoes first in the cast iron with some Olive oil then when they are hot and have a crisp on them then top it with the cheese and your golden. I did enjoy the shrimp stuffed mushrooms but the shrimp was dry ... it seems like ya bake them together... I honestly would cook the shrimp On the side with some butter and garlic get those stuffed mushrooms where you need them and then top them and use the butter garlic sauce from the shrimp on top. The butter cake had some good flavor to it as well but it was just really grainy and felt more like a corn bread than cake. But the fruit and ice cream was perfect. Overall salt Creeke does its job for classic steakhouse, I would say maybe someday in the future I would look towards revising the menu modernize it a little bit. When it comes to the food I do give it 3 stars but service is a whole thing of its own so Ken did amazing. I appreciate yall and thank you for making this a good birthday for my mother. read more

I was a bit on-the-fence between 3 and 4 stars for this review, but the pricing of this restaurant caused me to choose 3 stars. Salt Creek Grille is a classic steakhouse in the heart of Valencia with a comfortable atmosphere. I have eaten here for brunch, dinner, and takeout. To be concise, I would say that the brunch is worthwhile, while I think the traditional sit-down dinner and takeout can be skipped. Salt Creek Grille's brunch is a choice of menu-order items or an all-you-can-eat buffet. We opted for the buffet and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. Especially considering that it was late in the morning, we found the food still tasted fresh and good quality. There was a good variety of buffet items including: pizza, salmon, bbq chicken and ribs, crepes, eggs benedict, seafood soup, baked goods, fruit platters, and more. Since we enjoyed the brunch so much, we came back a few weeks later for a dinner date. Having arrived after 8pm, seating in the main dining room had ended, so we were directed to sit in the bar area. That would have been fine, except that the service in the bar was lackluster. It took a long time to be given menus. Plus, when we were giving our order, the server took my partner's order and abruptly walked away without addressing me. It seemed that the bartenders were preoccupied and annoyed to have to be serving dinner guests. The food itself was mediocre. read more

Food was good , server was ok seemed in a rush at lunchtime. Had a great Birthday lunch with family!

Salt Creek is one of the best restaurants in town. This review is strictly for the Thanksgiving buffet. Arrived 1:30pm and seated within 5 minutes. Expected 45-minute wait. Service was good. Restaurant was typically cozy. Football on TV. Good crowd. With drink and gratuity $95 out the door. Just flat out wasn't worth it. All the food was barely lukewarm. Dark turkey meat was processed and overly salty; almost like turkey ham. No gravy for the spuds. Comfort food demands gravy. Dressing was completely damp and prepared under cover with no crusting. The bread choices were all cold. Comfort food (IMHO) demands warm dinner rolls. Green beans were very average. A green bean casserole with some crispy fried onions would've added a little crunch to the meal. I just couldn't find a bite of something that tasted like more. It's hard to find a good, traditional Thanksgiving restaurant meal. But I'll keep trying. read more

Restaurant is not infant friendly. Food was not very good and is not worth the expensive price.

I've been going here for many years. We love to sit at the bar and eat & have cocktails. The food and service are good, however, I've noticed lately that it needs some TLC. The chairs are wobbly, the underside fabric is hanging and the booth seats are cracked and falling apart. What used to be one of the nicest restaurants in town is now just average. Might want to step it up before Yardhouse opens. read more

Fast service and good food during Valentine's Day! They gave us a table for 5 people in 5min. We loved it!

Amazing spot to host a party! We had a group of 25 girls for a bridal shower in the private room. We were there on a Sunday and did the buffet lunch, which had an amazing selection. They had a build-your-own pasta station and an egg station. Great selection for all different tastes. The waiter, Phil, was super attentive and sweet to all of us. We constantly felt taken care of. We stayed later at the bar and had amazing espresso martinis! Super grateful for the experience, and everything was flawless! read more

Wow, the best ribs. When they say fall off the bone they mean literally won't stay on the bone. I had to eat it with a fork. We stumbled upon Salt Creek Grille on a weekend visit to Magic Mountain. I love the simplicity, reminded me of the atmosphere and decor of suburban restaurants where I grew up. Making food look good for Instagram is getting tiring. This place focuses their energy on service and taste. The rack of ribs comes with a side of fries which were also delicious. I made it through about a third and brought the rest home on a short plane trip through security- yes, they were that good. Come to Salt Creek Grille for good food, service , drinks and a good time. read more

We went for the first time today and were very impressed. We ordered the charcuterie board and it's totally worth it. We loved the variety and amount of food and the cheeses were all tasty. My husband had the baby back ribs off the lunch menu and said they were delicious and a good portion. I tried the porterhouse stroganoff and was pleasingly surprised. It's a good portion and the cognac Demi glacé is delicious. The service was great (I believe her name was Aida, I wish I could remember cause she was lovely) and everything came pretty quickly. Nice and cozy ambiance and it wasn't too noisy for lunch time which was perfect since we went with our six-month old. Overall great service and delicious food so we'll definitely be back. read more

There were 5 of us for Sunday brunch. The reception staff was very pleasant and sat us upon our arrival. No waiting. Our server was great as well . Four of us had the buffet style brunch and my wife had a bbq chicken salad which she really enjoyed. The buffet was marvelous. There were too many offerings to list but what our group had were as follows. Eggs Benedict, Bacon, Sausage, an omelet bar, French toast, bagels, pastries, a wonderful shell fish and calamari soup, salads potatoes, ribs, prime rib, chicken, and a large variety of fruits. The atmosphere was lovely, and the prices very reasonable for brunch in LA. Well done everyone. read more

I come here often for cocktails with friends. We typically sit at the bar area, which is usually pretty open if you come early enough on a Friday or Saturday afternoon. We always order the espresso martini, it's our favorite. One of the best that I've had in SCV. We have tried several of the other cocktails, and they've always been delicious. We also get the baked potato (which is available after 4pm) and it's so fluffy and perfectly cooked! Service is always awesome, and bartenders are all very nice and attentive. read more

All Food and Service was amazing our wedding reception was held here, food was good and service was totally outstanding highly recommended.

Food: 4 - 4.5. Gave the overall lean to 5 because we really enjoyed ourselves. Next time we'll take advantage of the champagne/mimosa option (additional $20). I was in the area visiting a friend this past Sunday and decided for a Sunday Brunch. During brunch hours, they only offer the buffet. We were greeted immediately upon entering. Restaurant has plenty of inside and outside seating. Ambiance is on the upscale side. We were seated at a booth. The buffet is spread out near the bar area. Buffet ($40 per person) includes nonalcoholic beverages like juice and soft drinks. The buffet offerings were good with items like french toast, made-to-order egg dishes, some type of beef, bacon, ribs, assortment of salads, pizza, potatoes, cocktail shrimp, seafood soup(?), chicken dish, cut fruit, assorted desserts,... My favorites were the aforementioned beef that was cooked a perfect medium to medium rare, bacon, fall-off-the bone ribs, seafood soup(?), pizza and house salad. Food tasted like it was made to order probably because we had reservations for their opening time of 10 am. I was very happy with the food. Service was friendly and efficient. The $40 buffet price is very fair in my opinion. I like that you can choose to pay for champagne/mimosa. Many buffets include in price and thus charges more. I really liked this dining experience. Service: 4.5 Ambiance: 4.5 Value: 4.5 read more
