    Robot waiter patiently waiting
    Elena D.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The location has been so many different things over the years, ever since the ol' pizza place left so coming in to have all the seating on one level was a new experience and the lightened up, coastal decor was a change. The staff was friendly and efficient, but the robot "waiter" really threw me off. I don't quite understand it... other than carrying more than two things at once, I wasn't sure if we were supposed to interact with it or what. I was not prepared for that haha. Anyway, we ordered the Combo 2 (crab and shrimp w/o heads) and the waiter talked us into the Louisiana flavor with medium spice. Plus we ordered a cup of clam chowder and sweet potato fries. We had barely started on those items when our bag arrived. The provide gloves, bibs, a bucket and plastic utensils, plus wipes for after. You will need it. Our waiter was even trying to convince us to throw food at each other. The food was very good, you know its probably terrible for you with all the butter and salt but still delicious. It was a very good experience, and had leftovers. If anything, they needed extra gloves, mine fell apart. Anywho, I will return. YES it is expensive but hell, its seafood, when isn't that expensive? And its an experience. I wish there was something like this on the Oregon coast, wouldn't the seafood be extra fresh then?

    5 star experience from our amazing server Drew! She was incredibly informative and helpful when ordering, making sure we had everything we needed and keeping our drinks full. I'd highly recommend asking for her if you visit! I brought my Cajun grandfather here for his birthday, and while we enjoyed the meal overall, we have a few notes. The fries had great flavor but could have been cooked a little longer for a crispier texture. We ordered a seafood boil with snow crab, crawfish, shrimp, corn, sausage, and potatoes, opting for garlic butter with very light spice. The seasoning was spot on--previously, the mild was too spicy for us, but this was just right. That said, the crab and crawfish were overcooked, making them difficult to get out of the shell, which took away from the experience. On the other hand, the potatoes were slightly undercooked. If they can fine-tune these details, it would really elevate the meal. While we'd return for a special occasion, you might have better luck preparing seafood at home or checking out Newman's for fresh, well-prepared options.

    This place just recently opened up and we decided to give it a try. Our first impression was that it seemed affordable for the price and not too crowded for a weekday. We ordered: -Cajun fries (5/5 perfectly seasoned and crispy) -Cajun wings (5/5 seasoned good as well and had a crispy batter; came out super temperature hot) -Calamari rings (5:5 super crunchy and not overcooked, had a great sauce accompanied with it) -Seafood boil (4.5/5 get the Louisiana style sauce; the atomic sauce was not my favorite) Overall, this was a huge improvement to the previous seafood boil place that was here. Would come back again!

    I have been coming here for years, most often with guests because the place is within walking…read moredistance of my home. For the basics (fish and chips, fish tacos) they are top notch. But today I went upscale to the crab cake dinner, the most expensive item on the menu. Disappointing; the crab was essentially AWOL. Worse, I was given one flimsy plastic fork that broke during the meal (replaced with another plastic fork and a metal knife). The meal included an excellent salad, sharing a too-small plate with the crab cakes. Stick with the finger food (fish and chips, tacos) and you will be happy. (Except for the overpriced beer, @ $8.50/glass. At least it doesn't come in a paper cup.)

The salmon was the best one. It was flavorful and tender. I liked the halibut too because it was very clean tasting and flaky. The albacore was forgettable. The texture was mushier and tasted fishier. Even with the subpar albacore, the whole meal was great. The fries were thick and fluffy. I appreciated that they were generous with the ketchup and tartar sauce. I also liked that despite this being a fried dish, it didn't feel greasy or heavy. It's not cheap, but I think it's worth it. Service was friendly. This is a great place to visit when you're in town!

Sunday brunch menu is limited but has some great options that aren't available other days. The chicken and biscuit sandwich was amazing! One of the best biscuits I have tasted in a while. The chicken and waffles were delicious and not what I expected. The waffle was more like a flavorful waffle cone than a giant Belgian waffle. The fried chicken was very tasty. The bacon was crisp and wonderful. The over medium egg was perfect. My Diet Coke was never empty this time and the rest of the service was also on point. We had a fun discussion with one of the owners, I think and were convinced of his love of good food and New Orleans. Nothing fancy with the furnishings and atmosphere but more than enough for downtown Salem. I'll definitely be back!

The server got our drinks and our order and all came out fairly quickly. After that tho there was ZERO service. No refills. No did you need anything else. No check (we had to hunt someone down for that) and certainly no to go boxes. Let me also add that it wasn't so busy that all the tables were full either. This really is a shame because the food is incredibly good. Very large portions. We split the chicken and waffles and our friends split the ladder. Would I come back? Unlikely. I mean, I'm all about tipping but when your job suddenly stops after bringing my food and there's nothing else what tip do you deserve? Very disappointed in the service.

Last time we came for brunch, we noticed the eggs Benedict no longer has the amazing Parmesan-crusted potatoes. The hollandaise is still decent and the focaccia bread is great, but losing that crispy crust was a big bummer. Today's visit for our usual wings and nachos was even more frustrating. First, they no longer offer ground beef for the nachos. We were told we could substitute steak, but that literally doubles the price of the dish. We opted for chicken instead, which was a steep $7 extra for maybe two ounces of meat. When the nachos arrived, they looked like low-effort, homemade oven nachos with just melted cheddar on top. The whole thing was fused together into one giant sheet of chips; we had to break it apart and manually pile the toppings back onto the chips ourselves. It was really weird. The biggest letdown, though, was the wings. It used to be a solid order of six traditional flats and drums. Today, we paid $14 for just four pieces, and they weren't even wings--they were frenched chicken thighs. Subbing a completely different, lower-quality cut of meat without telling the customer is false advertising, and they turned out dry. Plus, the sauce has changed from a traditional Frank's-style buffalo to a harsh cayenne sauce. Between the wings and the nachos, today's total came out to $34--and $40 with a tip. Paying premium prices for dry thigh meat, overpriced add-ons, and a block of fused-together nachos makes it really hard to justify coming back. I'm not sure if North Fork got bought out or what, but I really don't see a point in returning.
