    I was really disappointed with my experience here. The gravy on the loco moco was so thick it seemed like it had been sitting since yesterday and just reheated. We ordered a loco moco 2/10, chicken Katsu & BBQ Chicken 4/10. On top of that, they didn't have any fountain drinks available, and the Hawaiian Sun cans were very limited because they were out of most flavors. The cans cost about $3 and had only 2 flavors available. The staff were nice and I felt bad for them because everything was out. For a place that markets so heavily on social media, I expected much better. Overall, very underwhelming and not worth the hype or price.

    Pop's Garlic Chicken with brown rice and Mac salad

    If you're coming here because the Yelp app says there is a check in promo, don't bother. They are not honoring the 50% off your second meal. The manager said they've been trying to get Yelp to remove the check in offer. If you're coming here for the garlic chicken, don't bother either. The batch I received was hard and dry like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. I'm patient, I don't mind waiting for a fresh batch of chicken to fry up, maybe next time. Similar to my 808 Sistah Shantel F.'s review, I'm all about supporting local. Maybe my food experience was a fluke too? I'll have to come back and try something else next time.

    Two Meat Plate: White Rice, Polynesian Mac Salad, Kalua Pork, Katsu Chicken and Katsu Sauce.

    The Salty Pineapple has great food and a beautiful atmosphere! The service was very friendly, and I loved the music and decorations you can tell they put a lot of care into the space. The Katsu chicken and Katsu sauce were delicious, and the Polynesian mac salad was the best I've had. The rice was flavorful but slightly wet, and the Kalua pork was a bit dry I suggest adding sauce that would help a lot. The mango Otai was super refreshing and worth trying! Portion sizes could be a bit bigger for the price, but the quality and overall experience make it a spot I'll come back to.

    Just look at that picture! Need I say more? This food is amazing!!! The pineapple jalapeño chicken is my go to, give it a try!

    Garlic "chicken"

    I never knew Hawaiian food could taste this bad. You know the Trader Joe's orange chicken that you bake and then put sauce on and shake? Their garlic chicken is like that. It's not even actual chicken that they cut it's precut chicken that they sauce up. Also, I've never ever had such a dry musubi in my life. This is ridiculous. The rice has been sitting cooking for a while it's getting crunchy. Also, their prices are insaneeee. Paid $40 for a bowl of chicken, musubi and watery "otai".

    Great place for delicious Hawaiian food! I showed up to Salty Pineapple a half-hour before closing time and was so nervous they would be out of everything! While they were out of white rice, they did have brown rice plus everything else I wanted. The inside of the restaurant is cute, colorful, clean and tidy. I love the huge menu and Good Vibes Only signage. The staff was quick, kind, and I even got a 50% off my second meal coupon from Yelp that I got to use. Amazing! While I ordered two plates, I will focus my review on my plate which was Kalua pork, garlic chicken, Mac salad and brown rice. It was all good but what really shined was the garlic chicken - packed with flavor, crispy on the outside, and not a common find at other Hawaiian food restaurants. I will happily visit again for a plate with garlic chicken and to try a drink of theirs as well.

    We went through the drive through and ordered 5 big plates. They were super fast and went above and beyond to take care of us! Food is fresh! We loved the pops chicken the most!! Serving sizes were on par with other Hawaiian food places! I love that there was guava cakes available even at end of day! Thank you for going above and beyond for us.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally made the trek to Herriman. The restaurant has a hawaiin theme with palm trees and surfboards throughout the restaurant. It reminded me of a tiki bar. The guy that helped me had great suggestions on what to try. I will need to get a teriyaki rice bowl, guava cake and spam musubi next time because they are the most popular menu items. I tried the pineapple otai drink which was too chunky for my liking. I also ordered the skinny hawaiin salad with teriyaki chicken and it was so colorful and bursting with flavor. The fries were also delicious.

    The food was pretty good. I had hoped the chicken portions would have been a little bigger. I don't typically like Mac salad but I definitely wanted more of it.

    Pineapple a la mode

    What a cute restaurant. We love the decor & the outside . We tried the pineapple al a mode . This was delicious ! It's is hot grilled fresh pineapple with coconut ice cream & caramel sauce . It was so big we shared it . The pineapple has a smoky taste . The ice cream is super creamy & fresh . I would definitely recommend this unique dessert. We are excited to come back to try other entrees .

    Food truck
    Paige T.

    I visited this food truck when it was at the University of Utah. The woman running the truck was so friendly and helpful- she greeted everyone with an "aloha!" and apologized for the wait (there was a huge crowd for an event). I got the sweet garlic chicken entree. The sauce was delicious- but the chicken was pretty hard (overcooked? I'm not sure), and that's why I wouldn't get this again. I liked that it came with a pineapple slice, and the Polynesian macaroni salad was solid.

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix

    I'm not one to usually gush over food (or anything), but I might have to make an exception for The Salty Pineapple. After my meal last night, I'm gushing. It was that good! Yes, they have a food truck, which I'm sure is amazing. But my experience was dining in at their restaurant. There was a sign in the door that said they were open for dine in, but the door was locked. We almost left, but then saw another door and thought to try it. Success! It was open. Turns out, due to COVID, they have one door designated as the entrance and one as the exit. Makes sense, but wasn't clear from the outside. We were the only guests in the place, which felt odd, but kind of nice at the same time. The chipper lady at the counter greeted us and answered a few questions while we figured out what we wanted. We learned that there are two options for your meal-in a plate or in a bowl. They both include the same amount of food, but the plate separates them and the bowl stacks them. I like my food bifurcated, so the plate was the perfect choice for me! I got the Hawaiian BBQ mix and my wife got the Pops Sweet Garlic Chicken. It only took a few bites before I knew I was hooked. The flavor was great, the portion sizes very generous and everything was very well done. I was only able to eat half of it, but the other half was quickly scarfed down by my teenage son when I brought it home. The ambience is island-like and the service is attentive and friendly. We look forward to returning again soon.

    To go...

    Good option for the area. Even though the drive-through line was long, we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. It was my first time at this place and the employee at the drive-through was very helpful since I was undecided. I tried the Sweet Garlic Chicken, Katsu Chicken, Pineapple Jalapeno BBQ Chicken, Kalua Pig, white rice, musubi and guava cake. My absolutely favorite was the Sweet Garlic Chicken, that sauce was soooo good.On the contrary, I disliked the Kalua pig, it had no flavor and the meat was really dried. Same with the macaroni salad, nothing impressive about it. The white rice, the musubi and the very fluffy/airy guava cake were super good.

    There are way better Hawaiian food options nearby. Wanted to try since Guy Fieri featured it. Just wasn't good at all.

    Service was great, ambience fun (live band). But let's be honest that's not why you are here, you…read moreare here for the food. And the food is phenomenal. Real authentic Hawaiian bbq good enough to slap your momma. Run, don't walk to the register to order the sinfully delicious garlic shrimp. Let me say that again, if you want an "eyes rolling in the back of your head" moment this is your protein choice. But she's not the only dish to surely satisfy the needs of your tastebuds. Garlic chicken, perfect. It's fried to crispy perfection then covered in garlic sauce done right. Chicken Katsu, amazing (although what chicken Katsu isn't?!?). If you go on a Friday you can't go wrong with the beef short ribs an absolute stud of a protein/meat choice. Yum freaking yum. Let us not forget the sides, the supporting characters that can make the difference between a good show and an epic one. Their Mac salad contains imitation crab giving it that extra something and pushing it above those "other guys". Rice is rice, good job. For the more adventurous than the typical Utahn palette try that cucumber cup, spicy? Yes. Crunchy? Yes. Good? Yes.

    A must-stop if you love Hawaiian food and you're in the Riverton area!…read more I got the mini plate, with the garlic chicken, Kalua pork, Mac salad and white rice. It was delicious!! The mini was perfect for my dinner and leftovers for tomorrow. The service was friendly and quick I really enjoyed the decor of the family pictures on the wall, giving the restaurant a true mom and pop feeling. I will be back!

They were closed and the interior of the store was emptied of all signage and had some construction materials. The website still shows they are open. I couldn't find any info about them being closed. I saw 2-3 other people walk up and attempt to go in while I walked away. If they are closed/under construction, I wish they would post that/close down their website!

    Good, not great. Went here based on Yelp reviews and photos. Turns out several of the things found…read morein photos on Yelp, they no longer make "to save costs" according to the lady behind the counter. When we did order, it's always a pet peeve of mine to see an employee weigh everything and remove food from your bowl a sliver at a time to remove fractions of ounces to make sure the scale is exact. Gives the impression is all about profit margins. The tiny scoops ultimately made the rice to protein ratio WAY off. Just SO. MUCH. RICE to make the bowl appear more full to compensate for the undersized & carefully measured protein. While the flavors were good, the rock hard (raw or dried out) rice grains in the bowl were no fun either. Overall just a little disappointing given how much I love fresh poké!
