Our waiter was extremely polite and very attentive. I can only speak in the items I personally tried the watermelon jalapeño margarita was a 7.5/10. There wasn't a strong watermelon flavor and there really wasn't a kick from the jalapeño. The bartender wasn't definitely not shy with the liquor but it wasn't over powering. The shrimp and crab ceviche was probably a 8/10 ( could've been a 9/10 but it had cucumbers in it). It had a tad bit too much lime juice or lime taste. The shrimp and crab dip was delicious! 9/10. Fresh chips as well. I really enjoyed the pickled red onion addition was really good. Overall Saltine has a great menu selection, warm and welcoming vibe.

The outside has room for improvement, but many of the best food eateries are camouflaged by their exterior so we didn't get discouraged by this. When entering there is a deli styled warmer with the foods they serve for lunch. There are other things that can be ordered from a menu such as burgers and such. The lady at the counter told us this and what the specials of the day were. In the preprepared warmer they had two entrees and several veggies. I got the hamburger steak with gravy, okra, and mashed potatoes. My friend got Cajun pasta, okra, and peas. We both got tea. My food was bland. Not much flavor in the meat or gravy. The potatoes were real and handmade. Okra can't be messed up, or so I thought. My friends pasta was cold, even though it was in the warmer. Then they tried their okra, which they found hairs in. At this point we were both disgusted. The lady at the counter left for the back, so there was no one to talk to regarding food quality. I had eaten part of mine I didn't wait to ask for a refund, so we just left. My friend did comment they didn't say, "Enjoy your meal, because they knew it wasn't enjoyable." Spend your money somewhere you know you'll get what you're wanting. Because I would rather have spent my $30 on fast food.

There are a handful of tables that comfortably seat 2-4 people, a row of individual counter stools, and one larger table that can fit a group of six. Parking is easy and free in the lot right next to the restaurant, which is always a plus. I also absolutely love their retro-style motor lodge sign -- it sets the tone before you even walk in. Chef Wallace truly knocked it out of the park with the Nesters Fried Egg and Chicken dish. Paired with a side of cheesy grits, it turned into one of the most flavorful and texturally satisfying breakfasts I've had in a long time. The dish features crispy fried chicken, soft-centered eggs, jalapeños, fresh herbs, sunflower seed dukkah, shallots, toasted pepper, and a beet remoulade that ties everything together. The batter on both the chicken and the eggs was cooked perfectly -- crisp without being hard, and tender without being underdone. Dip it into the bright pink beet remoulade and it's a match made in heaven. The sunflower seed dukkah added a subtle crunch that elevated the entire plate without overpowering it. I was fully expecting the jalapeños to bring serious heat, but they were marinated in something slightly sweet, which completely caught me off guard in the best way possible. Every bite had balance, contrast, and depth. I honestly could not get enough. If you're in Jackson, this is a must-eat dish. Don't debate it, don't overthink it -- just order it. The service was also very good, attentive without being intrusive, and rounded out an already fantastic experience. Easily a five-star breakfast spot that I would return to again and again.

The staff working the line was so sweet and patient as I tried to make a decision. There were so many good looking sides that I went with a veggie plate and added one smoked wing. That Mac n cheese was heavenly. Oh man it was good. The Lima beans were flavroful, as were the collard greens. I didn't care for the boiled okra, as the dish lacked seasoning and the cornbread wasn't my favorite. I will still go back to get a plate as I love plate lunches where I can get home-style vegetables! Address is 1254 Macon St, right off of Lynch Street.

And this is 1 spot that hits just about every box for me. They have seats for dining in & tvs. I went on a Sunday right before they were closing at 4. It's already hard enough to find a good soul food spot open on a Sunday. The staff took my order over the phone and I got there 15 minutes later and it was ready. I tried their fried chicken with some creamy mac & cheese & dressing. Now prior to this Ive had similar meals at other locations and was not impressed. This spot definitely made my visit! The food was so hot, good, and seasoned well; even my mom was impressed. So that's a great sign. I would definitely be back.

I had the chicken fried steak with brown gravy, it was good. The sides were okay too. Lunch envy - sampled the boss's fried chicken and it was pretty good and everyone said they loved the pork chop. The boss threw away her strawberry cake, said it was dry and didn't taste good, but the kids liked the cheesecake. The line was out the door and service isn't the quickest, but wasn't that overly long. I guess if you had to sit and order your food it would be longer than the system they used to serve food. For the price and what you get/what it is it was definitely worth the stop and I would go back and try different meals.
