LEO's Eats with Robin Garr
Huge portions, quality cod and fine preparation make Sal’s fish platter one of the best fried-fish picks in town.
I must have passed by Sal’s Pizza & Sports Pub in Lyndon a hundred times without ever being motivated to stop in. This was a mistake. In retrospect I really miss all the good meals that I might have enjoyed there.
Don’t be like me. Go, soon. You’ll like it.
Here’s why: If the iconic ‘80s sitcom Cheers had been set in a sports bar, the chances are it would look a lot like Sal’s. Comfortable and sparkling clean, it’s a place where everyone is welcome even if nobody knows your name … yet. Wall-to-wall screens offer a variety of sports channels, and you can sit back in sturdy chairs or comfortable leather-look booths to enjoy them.
But we came for the food, and that was a pleasant surprise. It’s bar fare, sure, with plenty of salty, crunchy, cheesy snacks for noshing during a game. Sal’s middle name is Pizza, of course, and the thin-crusted, cheesy pies, if not the artisanal style that makes pizza snobs swoon, are well-made.

Noise level: We wandered in for lunch just after Sal’s opened on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was quiet as long as we had the room to ourselves. When there’s a big game on, the environment would likely be completely different. (Average sound was 72dB, the level of normal conversation.)
Accessibility: The entrance is level, but the men’s room, although marked with wheelchair symbols, lacks grab bars and other accessibility modifications.
