A restaurant we love does pretty much everything well. I love biscuits and gravy and everything about theirs was great (great fresh biscuits, great sausage, great poached egg) but the gravy was obscenely salty.

I'm asking because I wanted to send them an email but I am unsure if that's super rude. Is it safe to assume they're adding salt when making the gravy when it needs literally none, as the sausage and its drippings are naturally salty?

How long ago was this meal? The time to say something is right then not hours later.

It's only a weekend breakfast item. It was on Sunday.

Let it go. The time to complain was while eating it. If it's genuinely too salty and inedible you send it back.

What would an off day have to do with adding salt to naturally salty pork sausage based gravy?

I don't want my money back. I would like to order it in the future and not have it be so salty. I'm assuming they prep huge batches of the gravy, it's not made to order.

You don't know how naturally salty the pork sausage was. You're like a dog on a sausage about this. Either let it go or stay home and make it perfectly yourself

Ok? And maybe the person who prepped it accidentally put in too much salt. I don’t understand why you didn’t say something in the moment.

Either someone added too much salt by accident, or the gravy was heated too long and evaporated. That's how a lot of sauces become too salty in restaurants.

To your question, they screwed up biscuits and gravy by making it too salty for your taste.

Some of us love it really salty. Maybe you’re not the typical audience. I’d probably try it again and if it’s too salty ask for something different and realize that you’re in the minority when it co es to the amount of salt.

They’re not going to change their recipe because you don’t like it.

Touché. But it is a new item, if that makes a difference. So it’s possible they’re still fine tuning it?
