Excellent food, service, and ambience, at Salud Bar & Grill! The owner, June, and our server, Cynthia, were absolutely accommodating and amazing! Salud is an amazing, excellent choice, and I promise you won’t be disappointed!

My husband and I love this place. The décor is amazing. The food is delicious. It is reasonably priced and it’s walking distance from our house. The service is consistently great and the vibe is awesome. It’s a winner and we welcome Salud to the neighborhood!

Had a pleasant meal but it’s a bit overpriced for what it is. A $ 14 burger is common in other parts of the city but seems misplaced here. Don’t get me wrong, the food was decent and the cocktails were delicious, but I’ll most likely be returning for a few drinks at the bar rather than ordering the overpriced food. Other than that, the service was great and they have a nice beer selection.

Meh, I can’t say this place is special enough to warrant a return. It strategic placement would be why I say it is a decent place. I couldn’t give it less than three for that simple reason. Salud had a decent beer selection at a decent price, I would return for that. The ambiance is great [bar seating, table seating, projection screen] the place is intimate enough, prices are OK, but I feel the portions are too small. The carnitas were good enough, the empanadas were potatoes and beans, although we ordered pork. The orange wings were meeeeeeeeeeeeh. I couldn’t help but notice how skimpy the bar was. My lady got the pain eraser, which was good enough, but sweet like a mug– I was cool with a brew. My visit ended on a ‘I would visit again, but I would definitely go somewhere else if there were anywhere else in walking distance’ vibe, but hey, maybe it was a bad day. I’d be open to go again, if someone else is paying. 3 stars.

Okay, this place is the only spot on the neighborhood, so I can see why there are so many 4 star reviews on here, but you have to take a step back and not let the excitement cloud your judgment. For one, the décor is really cool, I liked the fact that there where a few outlets under the bar so you could charge your phone, and the fact that the high tables had ample hooks on the tables for you to hang your stuff. The chairs where cool and the owner guys said he made them all unique by hand himself, I found that interesting. The overall atmosphere was chill and had a nice neighborhood vibe that I liked, but towards the end the literal atmosphere was unbearable. The kitchen was so close to our table and had an open window that the smoke from the grill started burning my eyes and the some sort of pepper/spice was floating around in the air and felt like someone sprayed mace. Also we asked if we could order more food and the waitress said that the kitchen was closed. But people where coming in and getting food still! Wtf. The food was mediocre, we got a few apps because I wasn’t trying to get an $ 14 burger. The carnitas tacos where good(can’t really go wrong with that though), was had the chicken wings with the orange sauce, the meat was a little overcooked and the sauce was bland. Then we had the empanadas(not the kind I like was supposed to have meat in them but was mostly mashed potato) and yucca Fries which where cold and way to dense. The staff was very friendly, and I know this place is just starting out and still trying things but they have a far way to go with the cuisine. I think I will try and go here again in the summer to see if they improve, after all it’s just three blocks away from my apt.

This place immediately caught my eye while driving down Bushwick Ave, so I had to come try it out. You can say Salud is located on the«outskirts» of Bushwick — but it’s actually IN Bushwick — just not located in the center of your usual hipster ‘hood. But don’t fret hipsters — the J and L are just 2 blocks away and your trusty Über driver can get you here in no time. Don’t drive — there’s never parking, unless you’re magically lucky. But now that they have their liquor license — you shouldn’t be driving anyway. First impression was how beautiful the loft style floor to ceiling windows were adorning the front of this place. There’s a huge patio right in front and I can imagine how poppin’ this place will be during the summer. Once you walk in you’ll feel like you’re in an industrial cabin house. Every crevice of this place is covered in reclaimed wood — all pieces put together by hand, might I add! There’s a huge projector TV on the [customary] brick walls, which makes this place perfect for footballs games and fight nights.(I’m going this Superbowl Sunday!) Every where you look here, you’ll find something cool and interesting. Make it a game with your dinner date and see who finds all the unique features. The bathroom has a sliding barn door(which I’ve always loved and would absolutely have one in my home) and the«vanity» lights are actual Heineken bottles with light bulbs in them. The bathroom wall is adorned with a mosaic pattern made of… BEERBOTTLECAPS. With their logo embedded in, of course. Whoever designed this place really went in with the details and my artist eye caught all of them. LET’S TALKABOUTFOOD, BABY. The menu is limited but it is their soft opening menu and they have a quality selection. We tried the chimmi sliders, filipino adobo wings, yuca fries, the chop, and the skirt steak. Their sangria was super strong and so delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed a few of their drafts from their growing beer selection. The chimi was so damn good, my fave dish altogether. Just the smell of the mini Dominican burger made me crave more. This is the gourmet version of the ones in the truck and it was awesome. The wings were the BOMBDOTCOM. They have like 5 different flavors and I’ll be sure to try all of them. It’s a small serving of 4 wings but it’s only $ 5! The yuca fries, paired with that minced garlic dipping sauce — OMG. The chop is huge and while the basmati coconut rice was OK, the pork chop was nicely seasoned. The skirt steak was a little overcooked but again great flavor. You can tell the chef has a distinct flavor palette because the seasoning on these bad boys was on point. The restaurant is run by a Dominican family who are Brooklyn locals and you can catch them here working hard and chilling with patrons. It’s really a chill spot and great addition to the neighborhood.

We always have a great time here. Service is always good and the vibe is just really laid back and fun. I have had pretty much everything on the menu and it is all very flavorful. The location is very convenient as there is always parking but also close to the train. I cant wait for summer so we can have brunch on the patio. In the meantime, i will enjoy my beer and plot my rasta snowman

This place recently opened its doors toward the end of 2015 and it has been gathering a loyal clientele(myself included) ever since. June, the owner, has done a wonderful job of showcasing local reclaimed wood as the restaurant’s décor. Though the menu is not extensive, what they prepare is fresh, tasty and affordable. Be sure to try out Salud’s home-made hot sauce. I cannot wait until they have enough to sell some to customers. Having recently added numerous beers, and a cider, on tap, this place is on the right path to be a favorite local spot for years to come. Salud!

I feel like this place will definitely be my new local. I have just returned from a Saturday evening dinner there and wow was I impressed. First of all, the food was deliiiicious. I had the empanadas to start, which come with a very tasty«secret recipe» sauce, followed by their burger. This burger. was. ah-maze-ing. It’s definitely gonna top the«best burgers in NY» lists very soon. The most appealing thing about this place however, is the atmosphere. It’s a small locale, and the staff make you feel very at home, in particular their owner, who greets and speaks to all the guests as they eat, ensuring they are enjoying their meal. Such a nice addition to the neighbourhood! Will most definitely be bringing visiting friends here!

A few weeks ago, on a Tuesday night(I think) me and my boyfriend were looking for a bite to eat and came across this place. It was really warm and cozy. We were greeted immediately by the owner, June, who was very hospitable. They didn’t have their liquor license, yet, since they just opened up. We were fine with that since we were more hungry than anything, lol! The interior gave the place a relaxing and chill vibe. It looked like recycled woodwork, which was nice. After carefully deciding, we went for the chimis and mango kale salad. To our pleasant surprise, they were DELICIOUS! The salad was refreshing and fresh-tasting. The chimi sliders were nice and moist. June really chose the perfect buns. I asked for hot sauce and he surprised me with his homemade hot sauce. Oh man was that good, too. I would buy a bottle if he were to ever sell it. Anyway, indefinitely recommend this place! I had a very good first impression.

A group of us came here for dinner last night and the experience was definitely worth the long train ride. This place is very rustic and has lots of character. If you’re into details like me, then you will appreciate the thought behind the décor, everything here appears to be made from some repurposed or recycled materials. I was specially excited about the very cool bathroom and the use of beer bottles for the light fixtures. This place has only been open for a short time but they seem to have an amazing team led by the very friendly and gracious owner June who made us feel very welcomed. He was great at answering all of my questions about the décor and it was evident that he put great thought and effort into his place. Besides the great ambiance and friendly staff what truly made this place worthy of 5 stars was the amazing food! I had the chimichurri and yucca fries as my appetizer. I was so impressed by the flavor and quality of ingredients in the chimichurri, the meat was delicious along with the soft brioche bread. The yuca fries were cut a bit too thick for my preference but they were still good and came with a garlic mojo sauce. For my entrée I had the salmon with the side salad and plantains. The salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly! The side salad was great, the greens were fresh with radishes and grape tomatoes, I’m not sure what type of dressing was used but it complimented the salmon really well. I’m super picky about my plantains and these were Dominican approved in my book! I tried my friend’s churrasco and it was really good! Honestly, all of the food was delicious! The prices here are very affordable and they had a great happy hour special! If this place wasn’t so far I would probably be here every week. Looking forward to my next visit!

We recently checked out Salud and it was fabulous! The owner, June, is extremely friendly and gracious. He made sure that we got exactly what we wanted and were enjoying ourselves. The food was fabulous — I don’t think I’ve had a skirt steak cooked so well. The Salmon was delicious as well. The salad that comes with both was lemony but delectable. And I personally enjoyed the plantains over the yucca fries, although both were very good with the house made garlic dipping sauce. What I really like about this place is that June makes his own hot sauce! He has three versions, mild, medium, and hot! As a fan of spicy food I loved them. Definitely ask for some when you are there. The only downside for some people is that they are beer and wine only(so far) no liquor. But it’s still a great fun place to watch games and meet new people(they have a GIANTTV and even bigger projector screen. I will definitely be a frequent visitor!

Awesome service, exceptional food, and it’s close to home can’t ask for more. I love the interior of this place modern, and very trendy! I will be back in the future to try the sliders. I had the honey BBQ wings, pork chops with basmati rice and salad!

Good selection, good prices, good people. Show them some love. I live down the block and this place is my new go-to. They are mad cool here. Corrugated ceiling and reclaimed finishings reminiscent of an old firehouse seal the deal. A++

Good food, affordable and good service just 5 min away from home, what else can I ask for? I ordered the Philippines style wings that the owner recommended me, it came with a ginger, soy sauce and vinegar sauce to dip, so tasty! Loved the wings. I also ordered the pork chop with Indian spices that comes with basmati rice and salad. I don’t really like Indian food but I loved this dish, it doesn’t have a strong Indian spices flavor so it’s just perfect for me. Everything on the menu sound so good so I am definitely coming back to try more dishes!

So great to have a bar and grill 5 minute walking distance from my house! Just wish they would hurry up and get a liquor license so they could actually be a BAR! Anywho, the food and service at Salud is delicious! I had the yuka fries as an appetizer and the chicken paillard as an entrée. I truly enjoyed both. Our server, who I believe was also the manager/owner was awesome! He provided suggestions and was very attentive. I can’t wait to visit again and try other items on the menu!
