    I absolutely love this place. When my hosts brought me here for the first time, I fell in love. Super busy!!! The staff is very attentive and the food tastes soooo good! Great southern cuisines that I grew up with. No complaints here.

    I'm here for work and went out with the class I am attending. The instructors in the class recommended this place for having a "local" meal. The establishment is a buffet full of Southern Cooking. The instructor recommended the Catfish, Fried Chicken and Greens. The catfish tasted extremely well. I found out that the catfish here is grain ffed catfish and for the most part is farm raised to between 1-2 lbs. The flavor is the best around this size according to the people I talked with. Anything heavier and the taste changes. The fried chicken was fresh and tasty. Also extremely good -- I had 2nds and 3rds! For dessert the banana pudding was phenomenal! This banana pudding had a meringue top and underneath was a warm, fresh from the oven banana pudding. Nothing I have had before tasted like this... it was great. There were other foods at the buffet table - beans, rice, mashed potatoes, sliced beef...a bunch of what I'd expect here in Mississippi. Good place to come for lunch...well worth the $12 to experience a Southern cooked meal.

    This is a great place to eat food great and the service.. Will be back

    A wide variety of down home cooked soul food. Friendly staff and the Sunday soul food buffet was fresh and consistently replenished!

The meal plan to ight is the Boom Boom Shrimp appetizer which arrived promptly. 15 shrimp deep fried and tossed in Boom Boom Dunner is a shout out to the Shrimp Gumbo and a Shrimp Po Boy with another Sour drink. Too bad the second was smaller than the first. Lost a star here people. Waitress did not know anything about the Gumbos so no advice there. Decided to take my chances anyway.pointed this out and was brushed off so I kept the glass! (Approved by the way). Po Boy was delivered deconstructed which was interesting. 4 large shrimp dressed with maters and lettuce, mayo missing. Would liked to have had seasoned shrimp but thats a preference. Gumbo was goodish at best. Needed a bit more rice and some Cajun seasonings. Not sure about the waitstaff here though. Greeter was too busy in the tablet to know I was here but made her way to finally get me a table. Waitress was locked to the cross body purse and didn't offer any help on the menu choices. Finished off the meal with a Butter Coffee cake togo. All being said I think a 3.75 star is acceptable for what I got.

    I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Juicy Seafood. The shrimp was terrible,…read morerubbery on the outside, mushy on the inside, and so overcooked it barely tasted fresh anymore. Instead of being juicy and tender like shrimp should be, it had a weird soft texture that was hard to even enjoy. I called and was told my order would be remade, but what i received back as a remake was just the same overcooked shrimp reheated. It came back with an even worse texture and tasted like it had been sitting too long. I've never had a problem here until now, which makes it even more disappointing. This was a waste of money, time, and gas. Very frustrating experience.

The old school ambiance is still fantastic which is about the best part of my most recent experience here. They open at 4pm and I arrived a bit before 4:30 and they were already selling out of things. It was crowded but not crazy crowded so I was surprised they had so quickly sold out of things. They also seemed to be very slow at getting tables cleaned up and ready for the next guests. Obviously the very above normal crowds visiting for one last hurrah are far above what the staff are used to dealing with. When I finally got seated I was able to order an iced tea and water which are served in tiny little glasses. I NEVER got my iced tea refilled... My salad came out but no silverware to eat it with which I did get silverware about 15 minutes later. The first thing I ordered was sold out so I went with my second choice which they still had. I started out with my tiny salad which was OK then I had onion rings which were very good. For my main course I had stuffed shrimp which were alright but I have had far better ones. So then the check arrived and for the cost and really bad service it simply wasn't worth it. I still left a 20% tip which absolutely was not earned but this was my goodbye to this joint and I won't ever be back as they are soon closing forever. I wish my last visit could have been better...

We were greeted shortly by our waiter Caden. 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.

    Lovely looking place…read more The service was good. Pretty much right there when you needed them with decent recommendations. For appetizers, I loved the lobster and spring roll. That was delicious. Also got the lobster and crawfish dip ok and one can never go wrong with calamari which was also good. For dinner, I had the salmon and grits and kale. It was ok because not quite what I was expecting - I was expecting spicy and it was too sweet for me but might be my fault for not fully reading the description and being focused on the Cajun seared aspect of it. It was still good though. Nothing superb but filling and loved the crunchy kale on top. Really liked that they were open on a Monday and they were fast. At one point, too fast because one of my co- diner's dinner came too soon while still eating their salad. For dessert, we got the cinnamon roll cheesecake and shared it. I only had one bite because it was too rich for me but it was very tasty and good. Unfortunately, we didn't get the oysters which is THE item to get here but it was otherwise a good visit.
