I've been in to eat several times, and I must say the tofu is the BEST I've ever had. Perfectly crispy and crunchy, so satisfying and filling with the fluffy rice and cabbage. My favorite is the garlic sauce ( But I am including a picture of the pineapple jalapeño bbq tofu which is also good just too spicy for me- to show portion sizes and how pretty the presentation is.) I have only been in once where my order was made with the wrong sauce, other than that it has been perfect every time. I wanted to share about a particularly great experience I had this week. I came in for dinner, and didn't realize it was 12 min from closing since I forgot it was daylight savings! I was ready to leave, but the employee there was so nice and insisted on taking my order. There was also someone at the drive through, and a couple that came in at the same time. I realized this employee was by herself when she went to the back and put together everyone's orders herself. I was so grateful for the stellar service despite being understaffed and about to close, and the food was extra delicious that night. read more

The Salty Pineapple - Tofu w/ Pineapple jalapeño bbq & island cabbage Garlic sauce on the side - Food Trucks Near Me - Herriman, Utah

Placed an order on DoorDash for pickup, my man went in and he wasn't greeted at all. The boy in the front counter just said "DoorDash?" and after confirming the boy just placed the food on the counter. My man said "Thank you" and the kid didn't say anything back. We are originally from Hawaii and for a place portraying Hawaiian/Polynesian food and culture we sure didn't feel the "Aloha Spirit". Their customer service was severely lacking! Then the food - we ordered the 2 meat combo plate with the garlic chicken and kalua pig, rice, mac, and sapa sui. Also, the Katsu with fries, guava cake, and mango otai. The otai and the guava cake were decent. The Katsu was cooked well, but lacked crunch. The garlic chicken and kalua pig were so dry and tasted bland. The Mac salad lacked flavor also, the sapa sui was just okay. Overall, just super disappointed in the food. We've heard about them through reels claiming they were really good. We always try to support local, especially the poly community here in Utah but our experience just wasn't the greatest. They claim to be serving "island love" but we just didn't feel it, if you decide to try them, hopefully you have a better experience. read more

This place is very similar to Mo Bettahs, but also different in its own way! My sister thought the pork here was better and we loved the pineapple dessert we got. They can sell out of certain items if you go later in the evening. The staff was friendly and we liked the vibe of the place. We will for sure return for the pineapple dessert. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Salty Pineapple - Pop's Garlic Chicken with brown rice and Mac salad - Food Trucks Near Me - Herriman, Utah

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. read more

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. read more

Avoid at All Costs - Incompetence and Indifference at Its Peak I genuinely do not understand how this establishment maintains a 4+ star rating. My experience at The Salty Pineapple was, without question, the most bizarre and infuriating restaurant experience I have ever had. If I could give zero stars, I would. We placed an online order, which was confirmed to be ready at 6:05 PM. Arriving promptly at that time (around 6:05-6:10 PM), I checked in with the staff. The person at the counter casually told someone in the back about my pickup order, acknowledged me, and then... nothing. I sat there for over 20 minutes without a single update. Meanwhile, my wife was waiting outside, wondering what was going on. It became evident that chaos was the standard operating procedure at this place. Several other customers were also waiting in confusion. A couple seated inside was given food that wasn't even theirs. After they inspected it and realized the mistake, they returned it to the counter--at which point, the staff turned around and handed it off to the drive-thru customer who had been waiting just as long. Yes, food that had been opened and handled by another customer was then given to someone else. Completely unacceptable. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting. My wife, now frustrated, comes inside to ask about our order. The staff is completely clueless. One of them mumbles something about shrimp, another acts as if they just realized they forgot to make it. There was zero urgency, zero communication, and zero regard for customer service. At this point, I had had enough. I told them to cancel my order and issue a refund. Their response? One of the employees laughed. Yes, laughed at a paying customer who had been waiting for nearly 40 minutes with absolutely nothing to show for it. To top it off, an older employee emerged, looking completely out of it, mumbled something along the lines of "I think I'm just gonna go home," and walked out. That perfectly sums up the energy of this entire place--apathetic, disorganized, and incapable of running a functioning restaurant. Every single customer inside was either confused, frustrated, or outright robbed of their time and money. There was no effort to apologize, no attempt to provide updates, no accountability whatsoever. It was a complete disaster from start to finish. By the time we finally walked out at 6:45 PM--40 minutes after our supposed pickup time--we had no food and a ruined evening. The owners of this establishment should be ashamed. They need to fire their entire staff and start over. The level of incompetence and unprofessionalism here is beyond comprehension. If you value your time, your money, and basic human decency, stay far away from this place. read more

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". read more

I watched an Instagram video and was enticed to go give this place a try. What a mistake! This place was just mediocre and I definitely will not be going back. The coconut shrimp was dried out and definitely overcooked, almost brown, the dish was overloaded with rice and the veggies were WAY overcooked and soggy. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went there and bought an order of coconut shrimp and a drink. My shrimp was old and super oily. Guy at the window was not very friendly and did not give me my receipt like I asked. When he saw me looking for it he then said he would print one out after we were done. I think he knew he didn't give it to me for whatever reason and realized I actually wanted it when I asked. When I got home my order went in the trash except for the drink. I have only been here a few times and the food is usually good but the service is usually odd or not very friendly. I will skip it next time and make it at home. read more

The Salty Pineapple - Pineapple a la mode - Food Trucks Near Me - Herriman, Utah

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We have been to the salty pineapple a few times and always enjoy it. Went tonight and the jalapeño bbq chicken was great, my husband ordered teriyaki chicken and it was so tough you couldn't even stick a fork in. Probably won't be returning. The chicken also wasnt cut when they gave it to us but that's probably because you couldn't get a knife to go through it either. Unfortunate. read more

Nice to have something on this end of the valley. Sign on the drive through tells you plain as day it's not fast food. But the wait wasn't horrible. Staff was friendly in drive through.

We tried The Salty Pineapple food truck at the Draper League Night and was not disappointed! The food truck alone was painted so cute and looked clean! Menu options were easy to read and the condiments were clean and accessible. We placed our order and were given our food as we finished paying. We ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and a musabi. Both were good, but the standout was the teriyaki chicken! You could taste the care in the fire-grilled chicken thigh...and doing that with the teriyaki sauce made such a difference! I have to agree with my five-year old when she said, "Mom, this is the best chicken and spam!!" I'm a picky musabi eater and the thickness of the spam was spot-on! We ordered a side of Mac salad and it was above par as well. The ratio of mayonnaise to noodle was perfect and seasoning wasn't overwhelming, it was just right! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely have to visit their Herriman location! read more

Remember that time I said I didn't like Hawaiian BBQ with it's overcooked meat and over mayonnaised, mushy macaroni salad? Well, that was before I tried @the_saltypineapple The Sweet and Spicy Plate was delicious. Tender fried sweet chicken with Pop's Sweet Garlic Sauce and the most amazing Kalua Pig. Don't skip the Pineapple Jalapeno BBQ Sauce. It pairs perfectly with the Kalua Pig. The macaroni salad was great too, much to my surprise. No mushy noodles here. Try their Watermelon Mint Limeade for a special treat. Tonight was our first visit, and we will be back! read more

A review of just the secret menu item: grilled pineapple a la mode. I went runnin' when I heard about the fresh grilled pineapple & ice cream. It. Was. Wonderful! The pineapple I had was ripe with nice grill marks, served with, NOT VANILLA, but toasted coconut pineapple ice cream topped with caramel sauce. Talk about the ultimate piña colada. Currently, it's served to you separately and you construct it yourself. Food was okay. read more

The ambiance is pretty fun. I like the tiki/surf feel. It was successful in reminding me of trips to Hawaii. The food is just slightly underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, the food is fine. But the portions seemed a bit small and the flavors of the chicken just didn't wow me. I'd like to give it a try again and try some other menu items. I will say, the guava cake is really good. read more

The Salty Pineapple - 2 meat - Food Trucks Near Me - Herriman, Utah

The food was actually better than last time and I enjoyed everything! The Problem: The $11.95 "choose two" option says "any two proteins of your choice in Da Plate or Da Bowl". I ordered the teriyaki beef and kalua pig, but for some reason I was charged $12.95. If your prices have changed, it would be nice if you updated your menu and website to reflect this. If certain proteins cost more, it would be nice if this was updated. Additionally, I ordered a TWO protein plate and was only offered one sauce, when I asked for a second sauce I was charged $.25. REALLY?? Long story short, I left feeling like I was price gouged and it ruined the experience. Then I got home, to use my $.25 extra "teriyaki sauce" it was watered down and just ran to the bottom of the plate. At the end of the day $1.25 isn't even on my radar, its the principal and lack of transparency. I paid upwards of $15, when if I had known it was going to be as much (based on my previous experience), I would have gone next door for a $8 burrito; luckily for them I was already stuck in the drive thru line. read more

I ordered the skinny salad and a side of Mac. The Mac was SOUR which was so disappointing, immediately spit it out. I decided to stick with the salad which ended up making me sick for the next day and a half. I used to love this place before the pandemic when their truck would come to my work, but it's heavily declined in quality over the years. I've come back a few times hoping that my bad experiences were one offs but I think it's time to officially leave this place alone. Sad! read more

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

Over priced and poorly ran.. cute idea and concept for a food establishment.. extremely underwhelming food and service, they are thieves if anything and don't mind ripping you off. Which sucks because I wanted so badly to love this place and we've given it a few different shots and get screwed over almost EVERY time. Tonight it was again the portions and being over charged and told last time that double proteins come with a drink and have only gotten a drink with them once WOULD NOT RECOMMEND unless they get new employment and management read more

We hired The Salty Pineapple food truck for a wedding. This is the way to go, especially during the pandemic. We had many comments that people were happy and felt safer with food being delivered this way. Everyone enjoyed the Kailua pork, teriyaki chicken, and especially the garlic chicken. The Mac salad was pronounced "the best ever" by many of our family members who used to live in Hawaii. There was a hiccup with understanding what would be gluten free but that was more of a miscommunication with the Food Tuck League than the food truck. The Kailua pork is gluten free and the rice. The staff was fantastic getting the food out in a timely manner. They were very personable with our guests to make sure every need was met. We would definitely hire The Salty Pineapple to cater again. read more
