★★★★☆ 4.0 Gulf Coast Terry · Nov 2025

Salty Tarpon Stopped by for lunch on Friday about 12:30ish. We ate inside but they had a very nice outside Bar and tables. We ordered a Shrimp Cocktail and Maryland Crab Dip with Tortilla Chips. For our drink we got the Salty Tarpon Signature Punch. Jrod delivered our Punch quickly and soon after our Crab Dip with Chips and the Shrimp Cocktail. All the food we had was ok and the service was spot on quick. I must give this place 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gulf Coast Terry

Our 1st time here. We ate out on the deck at the bar. Service was great. Big fans kept it cool. Lots of tvs. Bartender very friendly and attentive. She was willing to give us a sample of a beer on tap and opened a new bottle of sweet tea vodka for us. We ordered the house salad with chipoltle ranch and add on shrimp. Shrimp were delicious just stinks to only get 4 for $7 extra. Also got the wings, decent quantity with a delicious Fresno honey sauce. Fresh carrots and celery in the side. Would come back.

Amazing food with service to match and Ciara (sp?) our server, was the icing on the cake! We needed to eat quickly and she made it happen! We ordered the beef sliders, salty burger and capers chicken sandwich. Each item as SO delicious. The fries were fresh and hot and the drinks were delicious! I’m here for a conference and I’m trying to figure out how I can eat here again!

Oh my !!! Emily was such a joy to dine with. After our amazing drinks, she recommended the beef and reef sliders. I was iffy, holy moly, that girl was right ! Guys don’t sleep on those. They come with a choice of FF or Tatertots. I’m not sure what shifts Emily works, I hope you all get the chance to sit and her bar !! Heck yeah Salty Tarpon !!!
