    I have been to Saltbox several times now and everything is outstanding. Specifically the oyster sandwich was a standout! If I am correct, chef Ricky was a finalist this year for a James Beard Award for best chef in the southeast.

    Ok, so i went to the saltbox today after seeing this video pop up!! I had the catfish plate. The serving size was about double what you would normally expect at a restaurant! We got a side of hush honeys which are standard hush puppies doused in honey. They are Amazing!
    The real star for me tho was the "chowda". I have 40 years experience in Chowder and I can say today I had the best Chowda of my LIFE!
    It was piping hot which is good, but i got an immediate butter taste like when you dunk lobster in butter. I let it cool down a bit and ad I sipped it I noticed less butter but more lobster flavor. As I dove in with my fork, I saw not a single potato like in Campbell's cans, but this was full of herbs, butter, and massive chunks or clams and fish! It was 15/10 I told the staff 3x I came here from 3 hours away because of this video andnwas blown away by the quality! Wish I could come back sooner for real!

    My favourite is fresh baked fish without any batter and perfectly seasoned. Everything else was deep fried. Although the potato chips looked delicious. Clinical clean kitchen and workmanship of the Chef.

      I’ve never had a badly cooked meal there. The only inconsistency may be portion size.
