    Salmon, tuna, chicken, collards and creamed spinach
    Melissa H.

    We came to Salt 64 during a girls trip to Oak Island. Laura was our server and she was a total delight- happy and attentive. We started with the rockstar wedge salad and crack toast- both were delicious: For entrees, we got the salmon, chicken, and ahi tuna with creamed spinach, collard greens and truffles fries. Portions were huge! What really stood out: ahi tuna, chicken, risotto, and salmon. Truffle fries, collards and creamed spinach were somewhat unremarkable. The highlight for me was the key lime pie, which I got to go because I was stuffed. Espresso martini wins the award for best cocktail of the evening. Decor was classy and welcoming. I really liked the Himalayan salt candles on the tables... nice touch. Overall, a delightful experience!

    The service was outstanding but I was not impressed by the food. We came here last year and were underwhelmed by the food. This time around we just had appetizers of an artichokes and the special of flash fried ribs in a Korean bbq sauce. The ribs were tough. I would not order them again. The drinks were well made.

    Rounding up from 4.5 Pros- The food and drinks are always spot on. Eclectic and tasty! Cons- My drink was not super interesting. My husband enjoyed my paradise a lot more. The Malbec , however, was top notch! Some areas not as nice probably to sit in, but we really enjoyed our spot next to the wine room. Parking can be a challenge! Great that they're busy but not always easy to find a spot.

    Stopped by again, this time on a Monday night and it was packed. Because of the additional dining area we got a table quickly. Our waitress, Tia, was with us quickly and brought waters. She returned shortly to take our bar and appetizer order. Tia also went over the evening specials. Our drinks came in good time with appetizer following soon after. We ordered Fried Green Tomatos and Cracked Toast to start. The Tomatos were well presented and came with cherry tomatoes, corn and a tarter sauce. The toast came smothered in cheese and heavy garlic. Everything taste good. Our main selections of Shrimp and Grits, Fried Flounder w/ Potato Cakes and Chicken and Waffles came out hot The three of us enjoyed our meals. Tia was very responsive and checked on us several times.

    Excellent. The ambiance is super cute. The service was on point, attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding! I had the ahi tuna which was perfect. My husband loved his pork dish. We will definitely be back. This place is very special!

    Don't let the price of the menu keep you from a fantastic meal. The portions are very generous. Service was impeccable and ambiance so "cool".

    Carrot cake in the foreground and key lime pie behind. Would you just look at these desserts??? House-made, too!

    This was an exceptional evening from start to finish! The day was our 25th wedding anniversary and we were in Oak Island for a week to celebrate. We decided to reserve a table at Salt 64 well in advance to eat there on our actual anniversary. From the moment we walked into Salt 64, which looks rather unassuming from the street, we were awestruck by the beautiful ambiance, comfortable seating, and friendliness of each staff person. The hostess seated us promptly, our server was attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. Our meal started with a delicious dirty martini for me and a craft beer for my husband. Because I am a freak for artichokes, I started with the grilled artichokes -- WHATTTT?? They were so yummy that I'm not sure I can order them anywhere else ever again. My husband chose a beet salad for his starter, which was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. We didn't talk much during our appetizers -- too busy enjoying this deliciousness. For our entrees, I chose the 8 oz filet, which was prepared exactly to my preference of medium-rare. The filet was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and plated beautifully with garlic mashed potatoes. My husband ordered the fish-of-the-day, which was flaky, light and flavorful. We both enjoyed every single bite and brought home what we couldn't finish. Not to detract from the appetizers and entrees, but the stars of the show were the carrot cake and key lime pie - two items our hostess and server warned us we should not miss! Oh, My, Gosh!!! These desserts were UNBELIEVABLE!! So beautiful, so delicious and fresh, we were blown away! We had a few bites of each, brought the rest back to our rental house, and did our best to share them with each other the following day. I only wish we had reserved more than one evening there! Don't miss this restaurant if you're in Oak Island.

    Great food and service. We had a party of 10 and they graciously accommodated all of us. No extra charges for such a large party

    Do they have outside seating?

    Not as yet. They told me the problem is they do not have enough help to open their outside patio. They were hoping to have this in the Spring.

    Sometimes you just need a dang good burger…read more Stopped in at Paul's in Oak Island and went with the single Black & Blu smash burger, topped with pickles, lettuce and tomato, served on sourdough with a pile of fries. Add a cold local beer to the equation and, well... that's a pretty solid way to spend lunch after fishing the morning. The burger had that crispy, caramelized smash-burger edge you're looking for, while the sourdough was toasted up nicely and gave the whole thing a little something extra. The pickles and fresh veggies brought the right amount of crunch and acidity to balance everything out. Asked for some hot sauce and they brought me some scotch bonnet, hot sauce in a plastic cup. It was good but a little dab will do ya! And those fries? Golden, crispy and seasoned just right. No sad little handful of fries hiding in the corner of the plate here. Nothing overly complicated. Just good food, generous portions and a laid-back Oak Island vibe. Sometimes the best meal isn't the fanciest one on the menu. It's a great burger, a basket of crispy fries, and a local cold beer sitting in front of you. The tuna can have the spotlight one day. The burger gets it the next.

    Highly disappointed with our experience after reading all the great reviews. Food was extremely…read moreoverpriced & mediocre at best. Service was non-existent. We saw our waitress a total of three times. When we sat down, forty minutes later for a refill, & another twenty minutes later when she brought our food out to us. The best thing about our wait was the bartenders singing voice. P.S. check your shrimp quesadilla for the tails.

    Dined there last night and enjoyed everything about it. We had a reservation and were seated…read moreimmediately at a table by the window. That alone is a bonus since the view of the dunes is lovely AND it's actually less noisy than a table in the middle of the floor. We were 4 and the other couple had not been there in quite a while. 3 of us ordered from the early menu and all the food was very good. I had the petite filet and shrimp. The filet & shrimp were done perfectly. My friend had the nut coated chicken and loved it. Her husband had the crab cake and enjoyed it with crispy onion rings. My husband had the tenderloin medallions from the regular menu and enjoyed them as always. Service was great with Cody and it's not easy in a restaurant so busy and popular. We've been going there for 20+yrs and are thrilled you can finally make reservations on line rather than having to call.

    Stopped by on a whim for lunch and quickly realized I was a bit underdressed. I was wearing shorts…read moreand a tank top, so I asked the hostess if that would be acceptable. She was very kind and reassured me that the lunch crowd tends to be more casual. We were seated and served by Cody. It appeared the restaurant was a little short-staffed, as it took some time for our drinks, food, and even the check to arrive. Despite that, Cody seemed to be doing his best and remained friendly throughout our visit. As for the food, I ordered the fish and chips. It was decent, but nothing particularly memorable or something I'd go out of my way to order again. My 3-star rating is based solely on the food. The staff was pleasant and hardworking, especially considering they seemed short-handed during the lunch rush.
