Came here after a run during my time in the Valdosta area and it was okay. The staff was very friendly, but we thought the food was just good. My burger was cooked well done and the fries weren't crispy. The tomatoes on the burger were chopped up cherry tomatoes, not like actual slices of tomato which I found odd. The hush puppies were fine but dry and we did like the firecracker shrimp. I feel like it'd probably be a fun place to be on a busy night though! read more

The food and inside were ok, but would not recommend if you cannot get a parking spot in the lighted area near the building.

The shrimp dinner comes with one side. No hush puppies or Cole slaw. The shrimp had a flavor. The breading was horrible. The seafood dip was supposed to come with crackers and veggies. No veggies. We had to ask for them. They are cutting cost o they DON'T send them unless you ask. The fish tacos were lacking flavor just like the shrimp. The steak my son ordered was over cooked and the Brussels sprouts were burnt on the outside and raw in the center. $162.00 for that meal and Long John Silvers would have been better! The atmosphere was dead. Our watress told us the crowd had started falling off. I told her the food was horrible and that's why the place is empty. It reopened in May and I do t see it making it through October. The only reason I'm giving it 1star is because the waitress was nice and honest. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

Place was clean and the service was good. Had a fun vibe to it. Food was ok. Started with the Cajun biscuits/rolls. They were a bit dense. I got the jambalaya. It had a strong tomato flavor and not much spice to it. Shrimp was cooked well as it was still soft. Overall the dish lacked a lot of flavor outside of the chicken thigh. It was a little over cooked, but crunchy skin and tasted good. Chopped it up and ate it with the rice to give the rice some flavor. My wife got the lemon garlic shrimp. She said it was good. Her side of grits were a bit thick. read more

The Salty Snapper - Jambalaya topped with a fried chicken thigh - Seafood Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

A super diamond in the limited restaurant landscape of Valdosta GA. The service from arrival to departure was great and friendly. We enjoyed the happy hour specials and choose the 6 raw oysters from the Virginia area that were fresh and tasty. The bartender Sav the bartender was very personable and attentive. The outside deck had a live band and additional space for outside dwellers. My wife had the fish of the day and I enjoyed the heck out of the boneless ribeye with slaw as well as Mexican street corn. Cool local spot with great food and fun atmosphere. We will be back when we return to the area. read more

Yelp never fails and neither will The Salty Snapper. Hungry and road weary, pulled up restaurants for Valdosta and The Salty Snapper grabbed my intention. Set off a winding road with beautiful tall Georgia pine trees. They offer live music in addition to great food. We had a dozen oysters from the gulf and man were the delicious and fresh. My wife had the smoked salmon salad and I had the NY strip bites . Both were outstanding. I topped it off with their key lime pie. I highly recommend. My wife does have seafood allergies. First time we have ever had a manager come out and check to make sure everything was ok with the food and to address any allergy concerns. Friendly smiling staff. Morgan was our server and was great. About 8 minutes off I-75 and well worth your time read more

Not fair from the beaten path in Valdosta and you can get some excellently prepared food at this quaint little stop. I had the jambalaya and it really hit the spot. I can't say it's the best I've ever had but it was very good. However, oddly enough I ordered the pot stickers that I believe were on special and they were amazing. Flavorful and a healthy portion. We always stop in Valdosta on our way to Disney and we will likely make this stop again in the future. read more

I originally rated this place 4 stars, now after eating here for over a year it's a solid 5! I've found servers that mesh well with my family of 6. If I had to recommend anything it would be pretty much any taco they have and accompany that with oysters and an order of wings. Small draft beer selection, but they rotate very often and you can pretty much have a different beer every time you visit. The oysters come from all over the east coast and the gulf. Taco menu changes as their seasons do. Overall- a must visit, I'm a regular. Ask for Katie M. Or Nicole. They won't let you down. read more

We went on a Saturday and enjoyed having late brunch. The shrimp and grits are the best take I've ever seen and tasted on the beloved classic. The food turn around was quick and convenient. The "Cajun corn" had a good spice to it just for flavor, but I will say it came out a little cold. The staff was great, and I highly recommend the watermelon crawl! Sitting in the bar area, you get to see through the beautiful, clear-bottom-boat window. We will definitely be coming back to experience the oyster months. read more

Ate here tonight with wife while visiting. We had the nachos appetizer and I had the Captain's Platter which included shrimp, grouper bites and several hushpuppies, plus a side of mixed veggies. Key lime pie for dessert. Everything tasted great. Service was friendly and attentive. Tucked in well off of Gornto Rd right behind some other place. Live music. read more

Always had good food, good service , and a fun atmosphere. Haven't been as much in the last few years since I moved to south Lowndes

We recently visited the Salty Snapper on a weeknight. There were a lot of people, especially on the back deck for karaoke night. The service was very friendly. My husband got a platter and I got shrimp and grits and a beer from a local brewery. Everything was delish and came out pretty promptly. I look forward to coming here again! read more

The Salty Snapper - Shrimp and grits - Seafood Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

Went here for dinner after work with a couple of work friends. I ordered a Carolina pork taco (I added the white queso to it) and a strawberry fields beverage. We split the wings and the queso and chips. The beverage was very strong ... I had to mix it with water (this is not a complaint :)) and my pork taco was a tad bit dry but I was able to choke it down. The atmosphere was nice. However, the staff could have been a little more attentive and he came off a tiny bit rude during the initial q and a about the menu and drink specials. He seemed a little distracted with some of the guest that were there prior to us. I think they may have known each other. They did have a live band which really added to the atmosphere. I would give this place another try. This was my first experience but I have heard great things about them. read more

The Salty Snapper - Happy hour oysters and tuna appetizer - Seafood Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

Salty Snapper is a good casual seafood spot with a nice shiplack decor. My friend and I had great food. For about $60, we both had the shipwreck margarita, edamame, fish dip, dynamite shrimp tacos and shrimp and grits. Our server was efficient and attentive and the food came out quickly. Looks like they have a nice outdoor bar/cabana area for dining. We enjoyed everything except for the fish dip, which was salmon based but was heavily smoked. Not bad, just not appeasing my palette. read more

Not impressed considering the cost of the food. I had the fish taco. Basically was a flour tortilla, 2 fish sticks a little sauce. I could have gotten a better one at Taco Bell read more

Wow what a gem, combining great food with great service. We both had shrimp dishes and both were rich with flavor. The service staff is obviously well trained, focused on the customer. Our server 'left handed" Joey (my wife's left handed so anyone left handed is immediately superior) was outstanding. He made sure everything was just perfect. But a big shout out to the rest of the staff, it was never a " not my table issue". When Joey wasn't there and we asked for something, we got it. Way to go team! We will be back, and you should go. Food, service, atmosphere, and great management. Thanks Salty! read more

The Salty Snapper - My wife before she practically licked her plate it was so good - Seafood Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

Oh my, what a fun and exciting setting for a restaurant/bar/live music venue. I had read Yelp! reviews and after a turn of events, we came here for a late dinner, here are a few high points: Service was fantastic, from the hostess, to the servers and our waitress. They all seemed to be having fun, happy to meet new people and made you feel like family. The venue was fun, rustic and had cool little nooks and crannies. Turn one way and you saw cool decorations, turn another and see a tabletop shuffleboard game, and go outside and see live music. If you cannot have fun here, you cannot have fun. The food was good, it really was. We shared a dozen raw oysters and smoked fish dip and moved on to various shrimp dishes, fish and even burgers. The food was plenty good, not crazy James Beard good, but you don't really come here for the food. You come here for fun, for fellowship and maybe to listen to live music. read more

Delicious! Great outdoor patio ambience! Great service! And great music! This place has it all!

I was meeting up with my local Valdosta group here.At first a few were outside on the deck.The ambience was great..Music playing..people laughing and talking..only problem was being so short I couldn't get up on the high deck chairs..so we moved inside. The service was good. The waitress got all our orders perfectly...and the food was delicious. It is a great party place. read more

Just went for drinks and live music. Band was awesome and we had a good time. We did not eat so I don't know how the food is.

What an AWESOME spot in the heart of Valdosta. Let your imagination take you to a quaint beach spot, we know Valdosta is landlocked but the feeling here is island tropics from the amazing menu to the colorful drinks. The wings are delicious and the side salad is nothing like a side... it even has kale. If you're at the "buoy bar" listen for the train.... $1 fireball shots... whoo!! read more

We are new to the area in Valdosta. My husband and I love good seafood....So we googled Seafood Restaurants near me and just happened to find one of the best seafood places we have ever ate at in the state of Georgia last night. Michael behind the bar was beyond amazing and his knowledge of the menu and specials were on point. He made us feel right at home and explained the menu and oyster selection in length to us. You don't find people like him every day. The outside atmosphere was top notch and the heaters were warm and cozy. We will definitely be back to this amazing place but only if Michael is our bartender. Great time!!! Thank you Michael. Jerry & Jenna Self read more

Wonderful atmosphere & wonderful food! We have celebrated SEVERAL Birthdays here! They are always helpful & accommodating.... It just wouldn't be the same around here with out the Salty Snapper!!!! I highly recommend it! read more

Great food, staff very attentive.5/5. Jambalaya awesome. Our first time, (heading south) , will drop in on the way back north. read more

Only giving The Salty Snapper one star, because I'm required to give them at least one star to leave a review. After being seated, didn't see our waiter for 15 minutes, and that's only because we got up and complained. He brought a beer and water promptly, so we thought the experience could be salvaged. Nope. Another 15-20 minutes never saw a server again. Left four bucks for the beer, spoke with the manager, walked out. It was a Monday, and not remotely busy. read more

Great food! Small menu but it's great! Highly recommend! Just moved here and this was the first place I went to!

The scenery was nice and they play music . The prices are a little too pricey for me but try it for yourself.

Love this place the wife and I went for my birthday it was so nice best Simon I've tasted the people are very friendly and the atmosphere was great loved every minute of it can't wait to to back and eat again read more

Great dinner this evening, specialty cocktails were very Good. Danielle provided excellent service with a friendly smile and was also very knowledgeable about the entrees. Food came out hot and delicious. Great atmosphere also. Will be back. read more

Great atmosphere here with live music on the regular. Sitting outside can be VERY LOUD with live music playing and you can't really talk to each other over it. The food is always consistent. Oysters are really good but very expensive. Fried apps and seafood is usually always on point. Great bar selection and staff is usually always very good. I wish they would focus on seafood solely here but they have some of the best wings in town. read more

Been here twice. Our server was rude, didn't smile once. She seemed very annoyed. Food came out with bacon burnt so bad it was black. The Cajun corn did not come out how it usually comes out( with the toppings on it) and was so dry that it felt like it had been sitting out for hours. Ambiance is cheap. If the owners knew their workers where acting the way they treated us tonight, they'd be fired. read more

We love sitting outside and listening to live music on the weekends. Great atmosphere. Just get there early is my biggest recommendation

The Salty Snapper has a great outdoor patio with live music. The food is mediocre and the service is not good. I suggest going for drinks and enjoying the music- nothing else read more
