Food was awesome, service was amazing, and the atmosphere was one of the most relaxing we have experienced. Thank you Salem Opera House Restaurant!! read more

The food is wonderful and the ladies work hard at trying to take care of everything and everyone. The atmosphere is so nice but it is so darn big it makes it hard for the server to keep up. Those girls and guys work hard at pleasing everyone. read more

The Salem Opry House is located in a building that was constructed in the 1920s and used as a school which they have renovated into their restaurant space. The old building has a nice atmosphere and was the peak experience of my visit here. My dining party was disturbed by the menu listing a $6 upcharge for sharing an entree which I've never seen that before and we don't ever share entrees but it just sounded ridiculous (I have since seen a handful of other restaurants doing this strange practice around this area). So your meal starts out with turnip greens (with pork so I don't eat that), cole slaw and hushpuppies. For our entrees my dining companion (my mom) got a hamburger steak with a sweet potato and I got the grilled salmon with a sweet potato. So... my grilled salmon was the most well done fish I've ever been served and it was literally crunchy on the outside and very dry on the inside which some might say it was burned. I've had more moist and delicious salmon jerkey than what I was served here. The sweet potato was the really good and the best part of my meal. My mom enjoyed her hamburger steak and sweet potato. We both just drank water and the price for our meals came out to $43.68 which included an odd $1.38 service fee before tip. We thought for the rather small serving size of the entrees the price was on the expensive side. Overall I have no plans of returning to this spot as the food was just meh... I did really like the historic building. It totally isn't fair to compare other places to New Orleans but that is my point of reference and I have to say this area is really a food desert compared to The Greater New Orleans area and Acadiana. So much of the food I've tried in these parts is just really bland and to my taste usually dissappointing. read more

This place was amazing! We had the fried fish, oysters and shrimp with hush puppies to die for, so delicious. The turnip greens tasted like fresh ones and seasoned so well. The servers were awesome and very attentive. Great service! Such a charming place! read more

Went to a family dinner for my aunt's birthday. This place is out in the country where you would not expect a restaurant to be located. Inside does remind you of an old Opry house, with a balcony stage but other than that, it's rustic inside. Service was good. They bring out the Hushpuppies, coleslaw and greens before you order. I would have preferred it came out with my food. I ordered the two piece whole catfish with a baked potato and a kiddie chicken strips plate for my 6 yr old niece. Also added one cluster of crab legs for her. We were a large party so the wait for the food was what I expected but really wasn't too long. What I didn't expect was for my fish to be warm instead of hot. It was also not well seasoned. It had a tangy taste, almost as if they squeezed lemon juice on it before frying it or something. I only ate 1.5 of the 2. My baked potato was very good though. Crab legs were also good. Could have used another cluster. My niece also enjoyed them and her chicken strips too. Overall, it's not a place high on my list to return to eat again. If I go, I will get shrimp or just crab legs. read more

If you enjoy a great ambience, friendly staff, and great food, you'll want to put the Salem Opry House high up on your restaurant list. If they have space you will be seated upon arrival. They won't make you stand, like some restaurants, because of a shortage of staff. They recognize that you are hungry, and would like to sit down and be fed, sooo, when you are seated, you will be served turnip greens, hush puppies and coleslaw along with your drink. You are in a place that serves up hospitality like some serve hot coffee. It's always there and it's always good. Marsha and I love this place. read more

This place is a gem indeed! Great food, great service. Great atmosphere! Never disappointed with a visit to Salem Opry House!!

Great food and great people. The greens and hush puppies for starters is such a delight.

We stopped and had dinner there my wife got the cat fish and sweet potato and I got the 12 ounce ribeye. Unfortunately the ribeye was too tough so they took it back and I got the hamburger steak instead with grilled onions it was very good. For starters they bring out coleslaw hush puppies and greens before your meal. read more

Oh. My. Word. Sit down and immediately served turnip greens, coleslaw, and hushpuppies. Hubby and I agree - Some of the best we've eaten, all of it. We both ordered fish filets and they came out hot and crispy. We are visiting from out of town, otherwise, this would be at the top of our "return often" list! read more

Eaten here a handful of times and always enjoy the hospitality, setting and the food.

We absolutely love coming here, the environment is wonderful and the food is always perfect. We come here often and we are never disappointed!! read more

Great seafood with an outstanding southern experience. Been coming here for years now and it has always been a very popular place. Would be 5 stars if the prices were not so high though. Must try this place out! read more

Fantastic place to take a small or large group for a delicious catfish and seafood dinner! We ate so many hush puppies, coleslaw and turnips prior to our main dinners that we didn't even have room for dessert, which was White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Ice Cream. read more

Me and my family has eaten there several times because the catfish is flavorful and the greens are divine along with the other items that comes with your meal. And also, the waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything we asked him. read more
