    The Bar

    I was vacationing in the area and happened upon this little place and decided to try them for dinner. It's a really cool place between a hotel and the water with lots of breeze happening. Our waitress Michelle was truly exceptional and very good at what she does. The food, however is where this gem is lacking. Almost all of us got Molly Burgers in some way or form. You cannot get them cooked to order as they are just a little place. Well, what you get is a small hockey puck looking burger with little to no flavor. My wife got fries with hers and they were undercooked. I DID get a drink from the bar called a "Seagram" and it was delicious. It's a bit of a shame to have such a caring wait staff that has to serve mediocre food.

    This is a hidden gem behind the Doubletree Hotel. We were at Windjammer and did not want to stray too far from our hotel for food. We were so glad we decided to eat here. The crab cake, fried fish and shrimps were so good. My fiance had two types of spicy wings which he enjoyed and they had tenders and other options for the kids. The view was also amazing. We will return.

    We have been coming here since it opened and are part-timers in Salter Path. We see things come and…read morego, and it has been really nice to have this place nearby. Pluses: the food is good, better than above-average, and a nice range of things to choose for the choosier in your crowd. Beer list is extensive, and you will always find something you like (even if you are sorta snobby about it like this reviewer). The view is unbeatable. Ignore the reviews about "going next door" if the view is on your list; Anchor has a large, open air "dock-like" patio. Not to dis "next door," but they shouldn't be compared as they are totally different. Go there too - you can probably visit both while here! Big bonus plus: ownership cares a lot about his business. He wants to know when there is an issue, will fix it, and constantly wants to improve - site, staff, food, everything. Down here, that is a blessing. We had an issue or two once and he took care of the bill, or one thing or another. He is also very nice, we have seen him out and about and he always recognizes people and shoots the breeze. If you have a problem, find him. Or contact him from their FB. My sense is that he is a man of action. Minuses: parking can get rough, especially during tourist time. Maybe walk there if you can. Staff can get dodgy but let's be straight - it's the beach. We don't always attract the same workers found in many hardworking parts of the country. Read into that what you may and it is amplified in the summer. Running a business down here is ridiculously difficult on that fact alone; you do everything to keep your best folks, but they also want to ramble on at some point. Good help is, in fact, hard to find. Also, the tourists can be a minus. If you are visiting here, remember that everyone wants you here and we want you happy. Try to not act entitled. Salter Path is exceedingly grateful you are here. We are a humble community navigating the same tough world as you. Just remember when you are here, you are on an island with one of the better beaches you will find anywhere. You are with your families and friends in a great setting! Cheers to you!

The restaurant is super cute with unique decorations and will def be back to try their entrees when in the area again. The food coming out looked amazing!

I love that's what happened here, and the building is now infinitely better for it. This was a good stop for us as we passed a little time before needing to leave for the next ferry to Minnesott beach. There's a good selection of house brews, and even though I got to try one of them, I was pleased with it. Right now, I cannot recall the name of it, which in unfortunate. Now, the great part about this being a converted wings is also offset by the fact... it's a converted wings. It was pretty warm in there and im sure that has a lot to do with the large frontal glass and the greenhouse effect. I'd consider a big tint job if I were them. There was an area to the right where you could kick back a little as opposed to just posting up on some stools, and there was also a small area around back if you wanted to be outside. The back area is very basic, but really, i cant imagine you come here to sit outside. If you want to do that, get some beers to go and go sit on the beach! Overall, I need to come back and try a few more things, but I would definitely return. Great place in Atlantic beach to have a drink!

We were down there on overcast chilly Sunday about 11 AM and there wasn't much going on, when we entered and went upstairs, it was quiet and that's what I was thinking the place was going to be dead, but as soon as we opened the door upstairs, you could tell it was a fairly busy place that has some good music and a fun ambience that seemed to attract a variety of people types and ages. It was a little different than I expected since it turned out to be more of a pizza place than a bar, but I had a great time and the food we had was very well prepared, flavorful, filling, and I was blown away by all the different types of breakfast pizza options they had as well as some sandwiches and some quality sides. The staff was very pleasant and super efficient and on a warm day in the summer they would have all of their windows open so you could get a natural breeze and airflow, and I'm sure it would be quite the fun time. Once we were finished, we went downstairs to the lower section and while there was nobody in there and it was dead, you could tell this was the party place during the summer or evenings and weekends, so I will give it another shot when I'm in town next time.

    I visited Southern Salt after a local friend insisted I give it a try. Sometimes local…read morerecommendations are hit or miss. This one was definitely a hit. To my surprise, there was no wait and plenty of available seating. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside, with a spacious dining area and a beautiful covered outdoor section overlooking the water. Watching boats cruise in while eating fresh seafood is a pretty tough way to have a bad meal. Atmosphere - 5/5 Southern Salt absolutely nails the casual coastal vibe. This isn't a place where anyone is judging your wardrobe choices. Think shorts, a polo, and a healthy appetite. The waterfront views and incoming boats create the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. Cleanliness - 4/5 The only minor issue was that our outdoor table was still slightly wet from an earlier rain despite being under cover. Not a big deal, and I almost feel guilty mentioning it. The restrooms, however, could use a little TLC. They're overdue for a remodel and a deeper cleaning. Nothing alarming, but enough to notice. (Urinal looked like it has been out of order for years.) Parking 5/5 Parking is free for patrons, which is always appreciated. The lot across the street was partially full when we arrived, so I could see it becoming a bit of a scavenger hunt during peak hours. On a Monday, though, it wasn't an issue. Service - 5/5 Our waitress, Isabel, was exactly what you hope for when dining out: friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. She kept our drinks topped off without us having to ask and even brought a refill of the hush puppies. Any server who delivers additional hush puppies is operating at an elite level in my book. Food Quality - 4/5 The seafood was excellent. The flounder tasted fresh, the shrimp was grilled perfectly and seasoned well, and both were exactly what you'd hope for from a waterfront seafood restaurant. The hush puppies deserve their own paragraph. They were phenomenal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dangerously easy to keep eating. If they sold them by the bucket, I'd have questions for myself later. The cocktail sauce and tartar sauce were also noticeably better than average. My one small complaint was the fries. They weren't quite fresh-from-the-fryer hot. A touch more salt wouldn't have hurt either. Still perfectly edible, just not operating on the same level as the seafood. Value - 3/5 Our total for two meals (with waters) came to $65.06+ tip paying cash. Given the quality of the food, portion sizes, service, and atmosphere, I thought the price was reasonable. It's certainly not cheap, but compared to nearby seafood options, it feels like a solid value. One useful tip: Southern Salt charges extra for credit card payments, so bring cash if you'd rather keep a few extra dollars in your pocket. Final Thoughts Southern Salt delivers exactly what most people are looking for in a waterfront seafood restaurant: great views, friendly service, fresh seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere where nobody is trying too hard. Aside from fries that didn't quite reach their full potential, this was an excellent experience from start to finish. Overall Score: 5/5 I'd gladly return for the seafood, the waterfront views, and, most importantly, the hush puppies that somehow managed to become the star of the meal.
