    We have visited this establishment 4 times and we loved it at first but have found out that it is a hit or miss type of place. Nothing is consistent!!! Sometimes the service is great then others it isn't. We have really only had one great food experience and the others have been either terrible or ok. Not sure if there are peek times to visit with best service and food or not but I think we will mark it off our list for now until I read other reviews of good service and quality food for the price.

    We have never been and some friends wanted to go there for lunch. There were 11 of us in our party, which is definitely above the number we prefer to eat out with. Service was still timely and we had a friendly server. They seated us by the door which they left propped open and it was cold that day. Not fun at all Mike had the tacos and he chose one of each. Shrimp, catfish and chicken. He enjoyed them. They did have a lot of sauce on each one which is right up his alley, but not so much mine I got the shrimp Poboy. I ended up eating only half the bread with the shrimp because they were not enough shrimp for that large piece of bread. The shrimp were decent but compared to that large piece of bread, they weren't very big. . Nothing to write home about but OK. I had a side salad with it. They say their ranch is house made, but it does not have much flavor. This place just isn't for us. Now we know

    Fried Green Tomatoes

    The restaurant is housed on a public school from 1927. We found street parking right in front & wandered down the school hall passing a salon & shop. The restrooms were the old school bathrooms. Jeremy waited on us, he was on point. We started with cold, local drafts, fried green tomatoes with blackened shrimp, crawfish étouffée and some very fresh large oysters on the half shell. The fried green tomatoes were full of favor & were outrageous! For an entrée, we shared the blackfish grilled over potatoes with brussels sprouts in a creamy yasso sauce. For dessert we shared the delicious signature pecan cheesecake with cinnamon bun, topping and candied pecan.

    This is the first seafood restaurant that I've been able to eat comfortably without worrying about my shellfish allergy. My catfish was good and seasoned to perfection. I will just ask them to fry it hard next time. The fries are hand cut and those they were limp, they were still so good. I will take limp hand cut fries over limp and frozen fries. The hush puppies were sooooo good!! I also had the grits and they add goat cheese to it. While I'm not a fan of goat cheese, it was good mixed in the grits. I added the picture of the sampler oysters (they weren't mine), but I had to show y'all how jealous and salty I am that I can't have oysters . You can just smell the picture.

    Shrimp Eggrolls

    Whenever I go home, I would usually go out of Hinds County to the north and to the east for good restaurant offerings. However, there is a neighborhood called Fondren that is not far from where I grew up that has some nice cafes and restaurants. This time, I told my classmate that I wanted to try Saltine because this was one where I had not been yet. We ordered small plates. The shrimp and lobster spring rolls reminded me of Thai egg rolls that cannot be beaten. The only difference was that these spring rolls had been deep fried. The loaded shrimp and crayfish dip with tortillas was another hit that I would definitely order on any repeat visits. The fried green tomatoes topped with blackened shrimp and crayfish etouffee was a delicious twist that no other restaurant has topped to date. I never had crab claws fried and having them at Saltine was a blast. Saltine is a lively restaurant. There is plenty of seating. And I will tip my hat for the outstanding service. For a restaurant that is heavy in seafood, the prices are surprisingly less that what you pay at most seafood restaurants. However, the food was of high-end quality. I loved it and so did my appetite.

    Simply Ahhhmazing! Every aspect of this restaurant is amazing. So this used to be a school. I used to drive by this place. So now it's a place to dine and more. The Saltine is the crème de la crème! It's so beautiful inside. The original wood floors and doors are still there. There's a beautiful mural of an octopus' legs holding things like a wine bottle, a boat, and a pirate's knife. Probably the things he found on the sea floor. It's such a pretty drawing. Also, there's a huge, half oval-shaped bar with plenty of whatever you want. My friend ordered a Lemon Drop, and she went for a second one. We each got the Poboy. I got the fried oyster poboy, and it was deep-fried, which gave it a crunch. The creole mayo and the trimming added extra flavor. The bun was very soft and flaky. It was just perfect. I got the gumbo on the side. It was a dark roux, the sausage had a spice that kicked up the flavor, and the shrimp was seasoned to perfection. I could have eaten the shrimp alone. But I really loved the roux. We also went for the half dozen oysters at first, and then ordered another half dozen. I think what I liked was that we could mix the flavors. So we ordered the Citrus Butter and the Oysters Rockefeller, which is spinach and shallots, and it's covered in Parmesan cheese. The Oyster Lafitte is a crawfish tail, bacon, parmesan, and hot sauce butter. Now you see why we ordered another round of oysters. I asked the hostess about the fries, and she was right when she said they're very good and that they're a favorite. So it's a bed of fries with cheese, grits, and crawfish on top. It honestly was the best lunch I have had in a long time. I will advice you to go with friends and try most of the menu. It's really the only way to do it! One more thing, there's plenty of parking behind the building. Come in on the side of the bank. Also, you will want to stay a while after lunch. There's so much to see in the building. There's even a salon inside. Also, the area offers more stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries.

    Fried oysters

    Love the Cajun/ocean ambiance. Service by Beau was excellent! He was helpful, attentive, and funny. Beau brought my rating from a 2 to a 3. He was great. Food was ok and a bit disappointing. Fried green tomatoes covered with mini crawfish etoufee sounded interesting but was soggy and the tomatoes were overpowered by the etoufee. Didn't care for the thick batter on the small plate fried oysters (7-8 to an order, so large portions). The batter was bland. Wouldn't order either again. Shared the blackened redfish special - pretty good and tasty; although the redfish was NOT blackened. The goat cheese grits were excellent, but most were covered in etoufee. The kitchen loves their etoufee I think. Very bland etoufee with microscopic crawfish. Added the baked sweet potatoes, which were pretty good and the hush puppies, which were large, burned, and bland.

    Beautiful holiday decor inside the building!

    We stopped by here for a late dinner and drinks. The ambiance was nice and friendly. There was no one at the hostess stand so we sat ourselves. Our waiter was quick, friendly and attentive. The seafood pasta and oyster poboy were delicious! I plan to return next time I'm in town.

    Saltine is my favorite upscale seafood restaurant around. They have a big selection of oysters but you have to try the smoked tuna dip. Everything I have tried here is delicious and the restaurant is very cozy and inviting. It can be loud in there if it's busy because of the high ceilings though

    Stella J.

    We are out -of-towners with 2 young kids and still were treated so warmly and had an amazing meal! I always appreciate a nice restaurant being so welcoming to children. The space was so unique being in a school house. Get the smoked tuna dip and oyster sampler! The black peppercorn ranch was fire!

    Very fresh.  I should have stuck with the gulf but I tried all of them.

    Best meal we had in MS on our weekend trip. My daughter wanted gumbo and that's the only place we could find open on a Sunday. We had fish and grits, Cajun pasta, fresh oysters, gumbo, and shrimp dip for lunch. The atmosphere is modern and nice. Prices are fair but a little high for MS. Service was decent they forgot one of our orders and the server seemed like he was stretched thin with the number of tables he was handling. Overall everything was really good.

    Unassuming from the outside and we're so glad we stopped. Nashville tenders were perfect and you got 6! I had the Cajun pasta which was perfect. Skillet cornbread was a skip. Otherwise amazing meal. Great salads too.

    During a road trip in the South, we came upon Saltine because most other places were closed for a Sunday. what a break it was! Updated Southern cuisine. Bright and airy space. Very friendly host and a good looking crowd. We sat at the bar and the bartender helped us, I think his name was Aaron. Either way, he was GREAT. Very friendly, full of great suggestions and fun to chat with. We shared the kale salad. We're not normally fans of kale salad, but the feta dressing, pickled onions and pistachios were great. For dinner we shared the blacked redfish with Brussels and wedge potatoes and that was fantastic. Finally finished with the banoffee pie dessert. Which was layers of marscapone, Carmel and banana and was deliciously decadent! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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.

Unfortunately, the hostess indicated that the restaurant doesn't allow dine-in guests one hour before closing. I proceeded to go with the takeout option instead. At this restaurant, daily specials are offered. Since I came on a Thursday, I opted for the seafood boil deal that came with 1 lb of snow crab legs, 1/2 lb of shrimp, corn, and red potatoes. I customized the flavor as the "Mighty Special" - Cajun, Lemon Pepper and Garlic Butter all combined. For the spicy level, I chose "Hot." The total was only $36.99! This was such a steal, especially since the seafood boil bag was generous. When trying it, it was honestly so flavorful and palatable. The sauce literally made the crab legs, shrimp, corn, and potatoes beyond tasty. Mighty Crab serves satisfying seafood boils with mouthwatering bold flavors!

I called in my order of two bowls of steamed white rice, a half a pound of sausage, and 3 corn on the Cobb. The corn on the Cobb is currently advertised at $3.00 on the website. However the agent informed me that the price has changed and it was now $3.50 and she said this was an incredible amount of anger and attitude. I informed her that the restaurant was suppose to sell at the advertised price but that I would speak to someone about it later and as soon as I said that it sounded like she slammed down the phone. I heard nothing. I ended up calling back and she answered and before I could say anything she said someone else 'would deal with me'. When the other woman came to the phone I started to give my order and I mentioned the advertised price showed $3.00 and she cut me off and said 'no one would be honoring the price on the website'. As I was speaking to her the other female was in the background yelling and insulting me. I could hear her very well. I mentioned to the woman that I could hear her and she cut me off again and told me in so many words she 'didnt have time to address that and for me to continue with the order". I finished my order and she said one of the part owners was inside the restaurant but that the owners 'never spoke with customers' and "he's not going to discount anything for you'. WOW... Talk about being incredibly rude. I like the food here but the way they handled the price being different on the website was just to ignore it and go off on the customer who brought it to their attention.
