Salty Dog Saloon
About This Spot
Stepping into Salty Dog Saloon feels like entering a cherished corner of Steele City where time slows just enough for good company and familiar comforts to take center stage. The worn wooden floors, spinning old-school ceiling fans, and the soft hum of classic tunes create a lived-in atmosphere that embraces you warmly — a perfect balance between a lively bar and a welcoming neighborhood grill.
This is a place where the everyday rush gives way to genuine moments: a cold beer poured just right, friendly banter from the staff who know many by name, and the clink of glasses mingling with quiet conversation. The ambiance carries a subtle patina of years well spent, with details like a glowing fish tank adding a quietly whimsical touch to the room.
Food here is an extension of the relaxed vibe, offering hearty fare that feels both comforting and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you find yourself savoring their signature Salty Dog Burger or indulging in dishes influenced by local traditions and Mexican flavors, the menu never feels overdone or flashy — just good, honest food that pairs effortlessly with the easy pace of the room.
Regulars and passersby alike appreciate the unpretentious charm that’s been kept alive through decades: a place where the grill is busy, the beer is cold, and the welcoming spirit is genuine. Whether tucked into a quiet booth or perched at the bar soaking in the surroundings, Salty Dog Saloon invites you to settle in and savor the simple joy of good food and authentic company.

Had to drive a little out of the way to eat at the Salty Dog, but man was it worth it. This place has the perfect mix of character and patina. It has all the essentials...a fish tank, music playing, old school ceiling fans, cold beer, great food, and service to match. Photos of the menu are attached (note business hours on the next to last page of the menu - open Wed thru Sun). Try the Super Nachos or the Bowser Burger...you'll thank me later!

This place is one of those hidden gems you have to appreciate for what it is. A small town bar in an older building that's been around for years. As long as I can remember the Salty Dog has been a down home place with cold beer and great food. They have steaks or prime rib on weekends occasionally, and have Mexican food as well as their signature burgers made from ground Pork. The Salty Dog Burger, and the spicier version, Bowser Burger. The prices are very reasonable and the service is great. They do not accept credit cards, but there is an ATM in case you forget. Here is a pic of my Bowser Burger.

The meal selections are good, the staff is friendly and the steak is delicious. The place always seems to be busy which shows how much people like it.

Great Food! Cool Atmosphere! Good Prices! Had the 2 signature burgers and they were delicious! Bet this place is hoppin' with the biker crowd here.

We attended the ride in Bike Show sponsored by the Salty Dog. Didn't have food in the bar, but enjoyed a few drinks and love the atmosphere. Awesome old school bar.
