The food here is phenomenal. Has been from the beginning, when they were in a smaller location. Julio (the owner & chef) knows his craft, and nails it time and time again. This particular visit, we got there before 5:00pm, so my husband wasn't able to get what he wanted (Chicken Fried Steak isn't served until after 5:00), but that did not dissuade us. We had the Hot Wings appetizer (6 piece) to start. They were delicious and come with either ranch or bleu cheese. We picked ranch and it was perfection. The wings were crispy and the Buffalo sauce brought the perfect heat. I had the Baja Chicken Breast Salad. Mmm mmm mmm! The balance of salad to chicken to dressing (which comes in a small bowl on the side, so you can dress to your liking) brought a whole new level of YUM. Can't go wrong with avocado and crispy tortilla strips! Husband had the Bacon Cheeseburger, and while it was not the CFS he had hoped for, it was good (a bit dry) and the beer-battered French fries made it even better. If you're looking for some top notch food in a tiny town: look no further! You found it! read more

One of our favorite places in town. We visited Afton for a month and we came here on our first day and on our way out. For lunch, the burgers and fries were great. Everything is fresh and there is always a table ready for you. For breakfast, I got a breakfast burrito and my partner got a chicken fried steak. Both were really good, I definitely recommend. read more

Had breakfast here. Wasn't the best but was better than we've had other places in afton. Wife had the breakfast burrito and the eggs were still very runny. I had an omelette that was a bit overcooked. Daughter asked for wimpy bacon and received well done. When we said something thes said that's all they have? All of our hash browns were a little raw. The coffee cups are tiny. But all in all they had a good flavor and attitude. might have been a bad time. We will try again. read more

Definitely one of my favorite places in the valley. Hardly anyone knows about this delivery gem, but my goal is to become sponsored by them. Every time I come home and meet up with old high school buddies, I suggest lunch at Salt River. It's nestled right on Main Street, the perfect location for people who need a good burger whilst window shopping during the summer months. It's large and spacious with plenty of tables and booths. The employees are so kind and helpful, they are very efficient and know how to make a delightful lunch. Plus, every single time I set down my empty water cup, the waitress was right there filling it back up. The Philly cheesesteak is delightful. The bread is soft and easy to eat, the meat was cooked perfectly and well seasoned and it wasn't chewy or hard to bite. The peppers and onions add a nice color and flavor as well. Complete with a side of fries, it's one of the best lunch deals you could ask for. The Swiss Bacon Cheeseburger is another classic choice. Every condiment tastes fresh and has that yummy "crisp" crunch to it. I love that the meat is juicy and tender but never pink, definitely the way to do it. Again, coming with a heaping of fries, you just can't go wrong. The chicken salad is huge and yummy as well, especially if you're in the mood for a lighter lunch. It comes with a large side of dressing, which is awesome because you can dress it yourself. Tasty chicken and fresh avocado, it is large and in charge. TIPS & TRICKS: * Ask for your sandwich cut in half, it makes it a lot easier to share and eat. * Bring a jacket, because it's such a large restaurant and because it's Star Valley, WY, it's always chilly. read more

My family was in town for a relative's funeral. Small town, so wasn't expecting anything outstanding, but I was wrong. The food was great and portions were even greater. Pricing was just right. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We got the Friday night special Prime Rib. The horseradish sauce was just right. The service was quick and friendly. We'll be back in the future. read more

Great food! The service was good but could have checked in more. The ambiance was good and cool location! Overall, if you're in Afton, Wyoming, you should go there. read more

This is the best place to go and eat in Afton. We tried other places but this was the best. Friendly, clean. And the food is great. No better place to go. read more

Since the pandemic we have ordered Salt River Grill a few times & they never disappoint! It is family owned and they are so nice! Willing to answer questions and helpful. I like the Swiss Mushroom burger with fries, Bacon Burger or the salads. The burgers are thick and well cooked. I am so full by the end!! They also have good toppings for the burgers too! Lots of places to sit when Dine-In becomes available. read more

Well, if you want French fries this place rocks. Other than that , id say there can be some improvement. Pasta not worth the $18. Felt like we weren't welcome when we were there. read more

The patty melt was just what I have been wanting for awhile. My partner had the Philly steak sandwich. Both were perfectly cooked. The restaurant was very clean. The servers were very friendly and prompt in taking the orders, serving the orders and prompt with the check and clean-up. If you are visiting Afton, WY I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. read more

My husband and I went to the Salt Water Grill today. We were greeted by Christine ,who was also our waitress. She was very nice and seated us in a room used for parties because she was getting ready for dinner. The place is modestly decorated, not fancy at all. It is family owned and she emphasized how delicious the Prime Rib is. She explained to us that her dad's the cook and that they moved to this location approximately 1 year ago. We ordered 2 cheese burgers. One with French fries and the other with sweet potato fries. I also ordered a side salad with Blue Cheese dressing. Our salad came with red onion, cucumbers, tomatoes and carrots, very pretty. Then our burgers came. They were hot and big! The patties were hand formed and perfectly cooked with no pink! The meat was very good and a good 1/3 of a pound! Served with lettuce, purple onion, tomato on a brioche bun. This place was a real surprise and we will definitely support this family owned business. read more

We have been to Salt River Grill a few times and are not impressed. I have had burnt dry chicken two times now. I do not recommend this restaurant. My family was not impressed with their food either. read more

There were 9 of us for dinner last night and 1 waitress and she did a fabulous job, she was on top of everything and was very sweet. We truly enjoyed our dining experience because of her. The prime rib was cooked perfectly as well. We will be back by next year to snowmobile and we will be back for dinner there. Thank you! read more

We were driving up and down Washington street looking for places to eat in late September and couldn't find many appetizing options (we had already eaten at Rocky Mountain Seafood for lunch or we would have gone there!). I believe this used to be Savannah's before it closed. I'm glad we found this place because it was shockingly good food for a small town. I've had much more expensive dishes at fancier restaurants in big cities that paled in comparison to this food. And that's because it's all in the dishes. The cook (I think it's just him and his wife that run the place) came out at the end of our meal and spoke with us for several minutes. He explained that he has worked in the food business for years and just recently (May I believe) opened this restaurant and decided to make just about everything from scratch. For example, the trout was caught locally in the river, the glaze was made from scratch, the BBQ sauce was made from scratch, even the salad dressing was made from scratch! Those details really enhance the flavors and make it more special than store-bought TV dinners that you get at other restaurants. We tried the trout and I would be tempted to drive back to Afton just to get that fish. The glaze already mentioned above was incredible. We also got a BBQ burger with a side salad. The burger wasn't really anything special until you put the BBQ sauce on it. I asked the cook for his recipe and he politely declined (rats! it was delicious!). It's a great little restaurant in the heart of downtown Afton and what it lacks in decor it makes up for in excellent flavors. I highly recommend it and we will return next year when we are up there again. read more

I'm super particular and rarely find a place that I feel is worthy of five stars. We have eaten here a few times now and everything we've tried has been fantastic! We used to own a restaurant and understand how crazy hard it is. It is a labor of love. We have mad respect for anyone willing to undertake it, and then go out of their way to actually do it right! To take the time to make things from scratch, with good quality ingredients and skill! It feels like they take pride in what they do, and for that we are so grateful! The restaurant business is super hard, and everyone has rough days. We are grateful for good people like this who show up every day, work way too many hours, and go out of their way to feed us all good quality food! Thank you so much! We will be new regulars! God bless you!! read more

Excellent chef - food was fantastic from start to finish. This restaurant was recommended by a friend and was better than imagined. The salad of the day, smoked trout chowder, elk and hangar steak all top notch. Great wine list, we ordered Frank Family cab as that is a favorite of ours. Do not miss ordering dessert. Eskimo chocolate dipped in caramel sauce is excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

All the locals seemed to congregate here! It was great to see if locals are there it's good food! And it was good food! Prime rib options were limited but the Trout and Chicken Fried Steak was so good!! Tasted made to order and perfectly seasoned. And the shrimp Alfredo was good! The veggies were cooked perfectly! read more

The breakfast is amazing. Love their French toast and breakfast burritos. They have great burgers and on Fridays they have great prime rib. The staff are very kind and fun to talk to. It is not normally busy so the service is always great. read more

I have eaten here a couple times and both times I was very impressed. Not only was the food good, but the staff was very attentive and hard working. They were on the ball and cleaning tables before the customer had even left the building. The burger I had was perfect, and the Alfredo was yummy. I have zero complaints! read more

One of the best hamburgers you'll ever eat! Whether with cheese, bacon, or alone - these burgers are fresh, hand formed, and fire grilled to deliciousness! The slaw was very good, fries fresh, and salads enormous and crisp. I may want to plan a road trip just to get back here. read more

It's been hit and miss here. Sometimes the food is really yummy. Other times... not so much. Nice employees. The prices are very reasonable. read more

We arrived hunger. I ordered the bacon blue burger and my husband ordered the Turkey club. They were alright. Nothing special. The prices were a little high, but it was typical American fare. read more

Great spot! We both had pasta and they were both fantastic. Fast, clean, simple, would come back again.

The food isn't very good. The day we went the service was horrible and the hostess was treating customers horribly. On top of that, our order got messed up and some of our table didn't get their food til after most people were finishing their dinner. On top of that, an employee (or manager or owner) blocked our car because he told us we weren't supposed to park there (no sign was posted). He was rude and yelled at us. I will never go back or recommend this place. read more

This place looked so cute from the road, but from the moment we walked in the door we were treated rudely. Then when the food came, it had so much pepper on it that it was inedible. When I asked for a substitution, they got angry. I am a very friendly person who usually makes a good connection with my server, but nothing could get a smile out of the entire staff. You wonder what the management is like to have a crew like that. I drive by often, but will never eat there again. read more

A nice middle of the road dinner. Nothing too special but definitely worth going to. It has nothing really unique and it has several direct competitors in town with almost identical menus. Its rather hard to find a parking space some days as it shares with all the surrounding businesses. read more

Sorry, don't waste money or time here. Dishes are never very good, extremely high priced, and customer service is lacking. Worst place to eat in Star Valley. If you do have to eat here, Baja chicken salad is about the only thing I can stomach. read more

This had to be the worst meal I have had in years. Usually if I eat somewhere and have a bad experience I'll just move on and not say anything. However, this place has a 4 star rating so I feel I need to save those of us who use Yelp to find great food when traveling. All the positive reviews must have come from employees! Seriously! I am admittedly a food snob. The only 2 positive things I can say about this place is that the Mt Dew was awesome and it was clean. Outside of that, don't bother! Extremely unhappy with the food. Our waitress was great but the food was the worst!!!!!!!!! It was also expensive. read more

Don't let looks deceive u. This is a small dinner with amazing food and service. Will be returning when I'm back in town.

If yelp tells you this is the best place to eat in Alton WY, don't believe it. Not good!! Sorry. Find somewhere else. Bland, fries are awful, and tasteless meat, sandwiches and food. read more

Hole in the wall place. My burger cooked to death... very dry. I fish taco special also not good. Cole slaw soaked in too much mayo. No air conditioning made restaurant uncomfortably warm. We would not stop here again. read more

Rolled through on the way back from the Sturgis rally and this was the only place open (8pm). Had the rib eye steak and my buddy had the trout. This was the best meal we had during our 14 day trip!!!!!! It's a family owned place and the nicest people you could meet.. So after talking to then for a while we decide to have breakfast their the next morning. Again the blueberry pancakes were really good! He used real blueberry in the cakes!! So if your reading this review STOP and go eat!!! read more

Delicious and great service!! We had a large group of 16 with several kids. The prime rib was raved about, my chicken fried steak was wonderful. Very glad we stopped on a rainy afternoon just in town for the day. read more

It was generally ok. I got the salmon and my wife got a pasta dish. After eating there, I thought that it was ok but I would probably not go back there again. However, my wife didn't like her pasta. On the drive home from Afton, we both felt sick. The day after, my wife felt really sick so we think it is food poisoning. Not sure if it was from that or caught something. It was at least clean and they were nice. However, it wasn't a good experience and we'll never eat there again. read more

Philly cheese steak and fries was very good. We ate Monday at 3 pm, nice to find a place open then.

The wife and I both had the day off and went looking for a different place to eat breakfast. We drove south to Afton and landed in the Salt River Grill. There was only 1 other family eating at the time (9:00 am) so I was surprised to find the service prompt and good!. I had the chicken fried steak. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but I'll order it on the next stop in if my wife doesn't talk me into an omelet like she had. The hashbrowns were killer and the portions were just about all I could handle. Waitress was friendly, food was hot and good. If I had to complain about anything it would be that my first cup of coffee wasn't hot enough. That won't stop me from going back. Looking forward to the next stop in! read more

We're taking a road trip from San Diego and stopped here due to the Yelp reviews. The place isn't so remarkable in aesthetics but it is very clean. Service was very good. The lemonade tasted freshly squeezed and the root-beer was nice and creamy. The fries were excellent and crispy. The Patty Melt was good but a little dry. The pulled pork BBQ was dry and the sauce was sweet. We would eat there again. read more

This place has great chicken fried steak. Potatoes are my favorite side and a salad. Probably the best chicken fried steak I've had anywhere. read more
