“I’ve loved Saltfish on CB for years, but the new owners have really kicked it up to a whole new level. I hate to make it more difficult to get a reservation in this cute little tiki bar, but I gotta sing their praises. The service and food have gone from ‘really good’ to ‘omg I’m gonna dream about this meal forever’. I’m currently obsessed with their scallops- they’re served with a stunning curry sauce, fragrant rice, fresh citrus slaw, and Maduros. It’s a beautiful meal and perfectly executed every time. Last night we got the coconut shrimp app, the scallops and their chicken katsu, and then finished it off with their homemade rum cake with candied pineapple and fresh whipped cream. Everything was just incredible. They’re staffed better than they used to be- service is quick and friendly. Expansive menu of tiki drinks. Definitely recommend reservations even in the off season- it’s a tiny spot with limited seating. 10000/10 definitely recommend this little gem.“

“The food was delicious. The best I had all week during our trip. And the price was really great too. Not overpriced like a couple restaurants in the area. The only issue we had was that there was no waiting area that was comfortable. They have benches out front but the sun made it too hot to sit there and there is no waiting area inside the restaurant.“

“They moved locations recently. They're on the opposite corner of the building they were at before (backside).

My mother and I dropped in for lunch after the beach & walking the boardwalk. It was refreshingly cool in there, temperature & scenery wise. A small place, with not much seating, but they made it work! We shared the pick 2, got flounder & shrimp. Not too shabby for the price. (Only one shrimp wasn't deveined) OH, great jams playing ?

Parking: There's street parking or a few different lots to choose from (depending on how far you want to walk). Paid, ofc. Peak season, get it early!

Wheelchair accessibility: Indeed, it is.“

“My husband and I were celebrating our 18th year anniversary and we randomly picked this restaurant because it was close to the house. We were not disappointed. When we got there we had to wait a bit for our table but had so much fen meeting and chatting with the hostess and one of the waitresses. I forgot how nice the people of NC are considering we come from DC and the service was TOP NOTCH. They were out of mozzarella sticks that night but we got the bang bang shrimp and it was delicious. The Pear Martinis were delicious and refreshing. Not sure if I remembered the waitress’s name but she was fun inviting and on her A game. When we left the waitress gave us a card and when I got home and opened it was so touched by the fact that everyone had signed it. Needless to say we closed out the place that night and the following night went back because the experience was so nice. The next night they remembered us and we known as the favorite couple. Made our weekend special. The girls and staff and amazing.“

“They no longer serve food and are strictly a bar but they said that you can bring food in. The drink prices seemed to be the best on the boardwalk and the bartender was very friendly and accomodating. They open early and are very close to the beach.

No beers on tap but will provide an ice cold pint glass on request. Oldest bar in the area established in 1957.

Not a whole lot going on decor or asthetic wise but they did have some nice tv's that were actually playing some normal stuff for a bar (a baseball game) which was really refreshing after visiting a few other bars that either didn't have tvs or were playing really odd channels.“
