Customer Reviews
I recently visited Saltines Restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience. The oysters were absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly served. If you go during happy hour, the value is unbeatable. The 50-cent oysters and dollar jumbo shrimp are an incredible deal, especially for the quality you’re getting. The food overall was excellent, the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, …
Stopped by for lunch today and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is great, welcoming and friendly. I had to have a cup of She Crab Soup, which was rich, creamy, full of crab and absolutely perfect! I also had a Middle Neck Clam dish that was out of sight, and finished it off with a nice Key Lime Cake that …
I went to this restaurant as the first place I visited while on a business trip. I was staying just a block away, so it was an easy walk, and I wanted to try Virginia blue crab for the first time. I ordered the she crab soup, which I’d never had before, and it was absolutely delicious. The bread and …
Oysters were excellent! We tried it all, you honestly can't go wrong. My only feedback on what we ordered was regarding 2 items: 1- the fish for seafood ceviche was cut in these huge chunks, which was very unappetizing and way too thick 2- the delicata squash was super salty. We ordered it as a side to our scallops and …
My time at saltine was awesome. It was a great birthday dinner for my mom with family. Our server was personable. We tried oysters, she crab soup, poke, and scallops. The oysters were excellent. The mignonette sauce had a nice balance of vinegar with a slight hint of heat. It was especially nice meeting James at the Raw Bar. His …
I’m from Florida and always wondered if a seafood restaurant like this existed. Right in the thick of the waterfront; very clean, great vibe and really good seafood at a good price. Go see James and Trey at the raw bar, great service and very knowledgeable, just good people. My server Stephanie was friendly and attentive. I had raw and …
Beautiful location. Our server Kyle suggested the oysters Rockefeller, the lobster roll, and the calamari. We also ordered the smashburger. Everything was delivered hot and fresh. So delicious! Kyle was very attentive, without being over bearing. 100% can not wait to return
Happy hour menu is great for seafood lovers. Everything is fresh and delicious. Looking around the shrimp appears most popular. The calamari for me is the best I've had and trust me I've tried a lot. The outdoor seating is nice even on the warmest days.
Absolutely incredible experience at Saltine! From the moment I walked in, the hospitality was exceptional. Sheerice was an amazing hostess who made sure we were taken care of and got a great spot at the bar right away, which set the tone for such a wonderful evening. Chef Tony made the entire experience unforgettable. Not only were his food recommendations …
First time in Norfolk and we had our dinner reservation else where but really wanted to try Saltine as we stayed at the Hilton. First of all, Kyle, our server, was amazing! He was attentive and so understanding that we just wanted to try different appetizers so we don’t get too full for our dinner. The food came out fresh …
