Saltine Restaurant

Went to Saltines for lovely Monday night dinner. Started off with some fried green tomatoes and they were absolutely amazing! Then we continued with seafood pasta and blackfish and both were great, but nothing topped the cinnamon roll cheesecake. We absolutely loved this dessert as it provided everything you’re looking for to finish up a meal.

We were excited to come to this spot since the menu online looked great. We ordered exactly what was suggested (which was about all the apps)and one entree (catfish). Food was more than disappointing since the basics were missed from overcooked hushpuppies to pork belly that looked to be sitting in a warmer all night. I understand being ready on Friday night to put the food out, but it was dead and the food was almost instant. Fish dip was cream cheese with the flavor of aged fish- calamari was greasy and didn’t feel freshly fried. Best thing was the catfish entree but it came in with the burnt hushpuppies. Needless to say we are all in the food business and could tell when the wheels came off the bus. Service was good and atmosphere was decent. It would take a lot to get us to try

Absolutely delicious! This place is amazing. The atmosphere is very unique and intriguing, but comfortable. It is inside an old converted elementary school. All of the food was amazing. I would especially recommend the spinach oysters! This area gets very busy on the weekends, but you can typically find parking somewhere…

Saltine is known for their oysters, but the Saltine Burger and fries absolutely hold their own. The burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The fries were crispy, hot, and the perfect side. You can tell they focus on quality across the board. The atmosphere has that clean, coastal vibe without feeling over the top, and the service is consistently on point. Whether you’re going for seafood or a solid burger, Saltine always delivers in Jackson.

Visit could have been better. There was a wait to be seated. When we arrived there was no host/hostees at the front. After we were seated there was quite a wait for a server as well. We did visit on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was busy so maybe we caught them on a bad day. Thankfully the food was outstanding as always!
