Salt Al Bahar - Khobar Unclaimed

Good ambiance, good food and nice staff.

We drove around 20minutes from Braira Dammam just to experience a beachfront dining but it wasn’t what we expected. It’s only burger and fries kinda thing and you need to order by the entrance with a certain minimum order. Nothing much happening in the vicinity but maybe because the weather is a bit cold when we were there. The set-up, location and the tables with umbrellas were definitely excellent especially when the weather is pleasant. The seaside is not well-lit though. There’s not much food choices on the menu but the black caravans where you order your food were super cool. We just ordered hot chocolate to take for the road. It was good to be fair and the staff was very polite.👍🏼

This was the place everyone was telling me I had to try and I was disappointed to be quite frank. To begin with, I don’t understand why I have to order everything at the entrance and there’s a minimum SAR 40 per person, so basically if say you finished your main foods and want to get dessert, you would have to go the entrance again and order then pick up from the pick up station. I won’t speak on the attitude of some of the staff, but it needs reevaluation. As for the order, they made a mistake with 4 sliders that my friends had ordered plain and were served with everything. I had the truffle sliders, salt and vinegar fries and original fries, the patty on the slider is too thin, it’s quite similar to the size of a kids meal burger patty although the truffle tasted nice. The salt and vinegar fries weren’t special but the original fries were delicious. As for the seating and atmosphere, the space is nice, the seating is comfortable and spacious and the place is well lit. The unfortunate side is that today it was windy and cold by the sea, only two heaters were on and the tables beside them were taken, when we had asked if any of the other heaters can be turned on, it was mentioned that they have no gas in them and can’t be lit which meant we and the kids with us had to eat while freezing cause we came all the way to this place and didn’t want to eat in the car. The bill for my order alone (1 Pepsi, 1 truffle sliders, half regular fries and half salt and vinegar fries) is SAR 75

I've taken a colleague and my bestie to salt ,we ordered the jalapeño burgers,bare in mind they only sell sliders so an order contains two sliders. We also got the salt and vinegar fries with water as our drink and the lotus soft serve. My bestie liked the burger,I did too,very tasty,not too small for a slider n not big enough to waste any part of it or have trouble finishing 😆 , the fries were such a surprising treat really good! The cherry on our experience was the lotus ice cream omg yum! My bestie hates lotus anything so much,but I nudged to try and was very shocked at the flavour,he loved it! About the service, I have mixed feelings about it because the first time I went there,the staff brought our food to us,this time we had to get it ourselves and they didn't give us any tissues or cutlery,I had to go and ask for them 🤔 they didn't seem interested in customer experience only selling which is why I hesitated to even give 4 stars. Please improve the sales techniques and focus on the experience of the customer instead of how much they're spending. It will bring prosperous results. The environment was beautiful but that was the beach itself, no credit for the restaurant or the staff for this part but the fact that it has beach access while u eat,watching the waves while having our lunch changed our stressed moods and refreshed us. The weather was gorgeous so we stayed longer. Thank you guys for the food,please focus on selling experience and emotion more than anything else.
