The first Saltgrass Steak House opened in March 1991 along the Katy Freeway (I-10) in Houston.[3] It sits along the historic trail where cattle herders would drive their livestock south to graze on the salt grasses of the Texas Gulf Coast. Every year, as teams of riders travel the trail before the opening of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, they pass by the original restaurant.[1]
