My mother in Law hosted her birthday party here on Sunday. We loved the atmosphere, the pizza is so good, and that burger with BBQ pulled pork....really tasty. I recommended hosting your event, dining or just hanging out. I think the prices were reasonable too.

I'm a single dude with social anxiety. I decided tonight I'd take myself out on a date, and with the Groupon I paid for, I was able to get 50 worth of food and drinks for 30. The atmosphere is so nice. The lights are relatively dim, the chairs and tables are higher up, and the music is pretty good. You can also control what music plays if you use the touchtunes app. The servers were very helpful! I was struggling to hit the 50 mark on my own, which I think is a good thing. I started off with a Salerno's Punch, which was a delicious alcoholic drink. It was fruity and sweet enough to very slightly mask the taste of the Bacardi, but without being overkill. I had the pretzel sticks, which were so much bigger than I thought they'd be. The outside was slightly crispy and the inside was so fluffy and soft. The cheese sauce dip was perfect and had a subtle spice to it, which was delicious. Next I had the whiskey pulled pork burger, which was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen. Who thinks to put pulled pork on top of a burger? That's so clever to me. I was starting to get full after a few bites, and I was still drinking my second drink. Even after 2 drinks, pretzels, and a burger with fries, I still hadn't hit my 50 mark. So, I decided to get dessert. They recommended the chocolate cake. I'm not usually a huge fan of chocolate cake, but I'm finishing it right now at home. It's delicious. The little chocolate curls on the side are such a good addition! I've included a photo. All in all, my experience was incredible and the food was delicious. I'm glad I took myself on a date here :)

Was there on a Tuesday night. The young man, Anthony was our waiter and is the reason I am writing this review. I'm 66 years old and he was hands down the best most attentive pleasant server I have ever encountered. The food was good but the level of service was truly outstanding, just can't say enough about the young man, a true gem!

Great pizza. Omg. Plenty of parking even for truckers. Multiple tv's all over the establishment. Inside and out. Corn hole section, clean bathrooms. Every seat is great for watching your favorite team on Sundays and Saturdays. Wings were good size and tasty. A must eat at spot. Amc imax next door.

Went to the murder mystery dinner. Cannot express how WONDERFUL the staff of Salernos is. From the wait staff to the man who was checking us in, it was wonderful. The show was outstanding! I was so pleased with the food, it was amazing. We will be coming here for dinner often!!!

I sat outside at the bar. No one else out there so I wasn’t expecting much service. Grace came out immediately and she checked on me by at least looking out to see if I needed anything. I had the best service today with her and I’ve been coming here for 5 years. I had almost given up on this location. The service and food had not been consistent but today gave me hope. Grace was awesome. I had cheese curds and a deep dish pizza and cocktails. All were delicious. I hope I see Grace next time I return!!

Cool place with good food. Took awhile to get our drinks, appetizers came quickly but I had to find our server to request our drinks. Would go again though.

We went in for lunch. It wasn’t extremely busy but busy enough. Which tells me the food should be good. Let me tell you the service was awesome, the place was very clean and the pizza was to die for. It reminded me of the old Salerno’s. Management please continue to do what you’re doing. This was a great experience and we will see you soon. Also, they have a jumbo slice of pizza for six dollars that’s bigger than your face. Lol.
