Saltine - Nashville-Davidson

I really like this restaurant! that was my second trip to saltine. the service was both great. eating is fresh and tasteful and the prices are very reasonable. I had the appetizer afteros, the fried oyster deviled eggs, and the thick speck appetizer and all were great! the nachos were themselves eating and they were delicious! the gumbo had a very light roux, but was thick and delicious! the zioppino was fantastic and full of two big skalopps, 6-8 garnels and two kinds of muscheln. it was made with a bright white wine broth and some toast sourdough soups that were perfect for the soaking of the broth. the price of $27 worth drinking was on site! I am impressed by this fish restaurant. simple, free parking, more spacious dining area, not too loud. I can't wait to go back.

We came in with a large group for our monthly ladies out evening. It was a reserved set up. The restaurant was well prepared for us. Dealing with the individual checks and drink orders were all done great. The food was tasty and service well presented and with solid flavor. Parking lot was packed so parking was a little effort. They also had free hush puppies at happy hour with yelp.

I attended a work function at Saltine last night and enjoyed the experience very much. They are known for seafood so I went with the fish and chips—a simple dish, certainly, but executed well. It came with two huge pieces of fish, more than I could eat myself. The cod they used didn’t taste fishy at all... just clean-tasting and not overcooked or dry like fried fish can sometimes be. It wasn’t overly salty either. It was pretty much perfect... crunchy batter, hot on the inside, freshly cooked. Make sure to get the vinegar to shake on your fish too... although it’s also served with a herby, creamy tartar sauce and ketchup. The simple, hand-cut-style fries (with peel intact) were served underneath the fish and could have been a bit more crispy but they were still tasty. Like the tartar sauce, the little hushpuppies on the side were a bit more elevated than your typical fast food version. The food took a little while to come compared to some other work events I’ve attended, but we were a decent sized group, so that sometimes happens. I wish I had ordered the triple chocolate dessert—I got the bread pudding, which wasn’t bad, but a little boring compared to the chocolate one which looked amazing and rich. I would definitely come back again to try other items from their menu. Also, their drink menu looked interesting as well.

Went to Saltine for the first time I must say they kind of started out on a bad foot by telling my wife we couldn't eat by the window because they had a big party they needed the table for in order to make enough room. So we got put in the corner and only minutes later the same person seated a party 4, which we were, at the same table my wife asked to sit at. It's obvious he lied in order to appease someone else who wasn't even there yet. At any rate our waiter was very nice and friendly, although over worked, and was as attentive as he could be considering. I believe they just didn't have the staff to cover the tables correctly. Once our food arrived it was delicious, everything was hot and fresh and tasted great, except the dessert because it was cold and fresh and tasted great! I would definitely go back but I sincerely hope they do a better job of staffing and not telling stories. The food is what took this rating to 4 stars..

Good food and service. Loved the parking lot for convenience. The baked oysters were okay. The rib sandwich was really good. Super cute beach vibes. The drinks are really strong.
