Let me preface by saying it was busy. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table. The appetizers cole slaw, greens, and hush puppies are awesome. The server was super nice, it just took a long time for entree.

We were in town visiting relatives and wanted some of that good ol' Mississippi fried catfish because nobody does it better. Went to the Opry House for dinner. Very cool atmosphere. Service was friendly, the catfish was very good, and the tea was sweet just like I like it! Enjoyed it very much.

I’ve visited Salem Opry House Restaurant before and wanted to continue supporting local businesses, but this visit left me disappointed.
We arrived and ordered at 6:00 PM. Our food didn’t come out until 7:28 PM—and it was cold. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, so the long wait was frustrating.
On top of that, we were told snow crab clusters would be $8 each with an entrée, but were charged $9.75 per cluster, along with other fees we weren’t informed about (like an extra plate charge). The extra cost wasn’t the real issue—being surprised at checkout was. If I’d known, I could’ve just ordered something different instead of the charging additional fees.
When I asked about the ticket, I was snapped at and basically told to pay. I opted for carry-out since we’d waited so long, but the staff member left my food on the counter and walked away when I inquired about the charges. There was no apology for the delay or cold food.
I don’t want to assume the worst about why service felt different for us, but the lack of communication and courtesy left a bad taste. The rest of the staff was polite, but one person’s attitude can ruin an entire experience. Sadly, I won’t be returning or recommending this place anymore.

The food is great.The fish is fried so good,the greens and coleslaw is just made to perfection. The waitress was really good. The wait time for the food wasn't long. I highly recommend this place.

Fried whole catfish from MS delta was very good! Served with a side and then the table had shared sides of coleslaw, hush puppies, and collard greens for all. Waitress was attentive and atmosphere relaxed.
Always curious waitress and good service , food is very good .love this place . you should be full when u leave lots food!

Plenty of food and so good. Great service and everyone was friendly. It might be in an unexpected place but it’s worth the drive.

My sisters and I took my mom here as a birthday dinner. The food was delicious and you really get ALOT for your money. My mom and I had the Mixed Catfish plate and my sisters had the crab legs and filets. Oh and let’s not forget those fixings!!!! All in all, 10 stars and just know that no food was finished. I’ll be eating fish as my Sunday meal?
I'm so disappointed in this place. This was such a waste of money! We show up and the sign says nothing grilled can be made because the cook isn't there? I'm thinking ok surely there's enough to choose from. As soon as we sit down we're brought hush puppies, slaw and greens. All were good. We get the menus and there might be 15 items on it and over half were grilled. I was told this is home cooked food. It's not. All they had was deep fried fish or shrimp. We should've left but didn't. I can't eat either of those so I didn't eat. We were charged almost $90 for 3 people to eat. My husband got fish(4 piece) my children shrimp(0ne had 6 pieces and the other 12 with fries). My husband found multiple bones and it's was so fishy he only ate one piece then threw the rest of it away. There were 4 grown women there. I honestly can't believe the options for this place. I highly recommended you do NOT waste your money!

Absolutely love the food, atmosphere, and place! Great prices as well. Would give 5 stars but unless the owner/ older lady is waiting you it’s 15 minutes for a drink, 15 minutes for a straw, 20 more minutes to order, and ya better hope you don’t run out of drink anywhere in between.
Great Food! Friendly staff! Family owned!
