I saw the Saltbox on facebook and the food looked good. I tried it today for the first time and there will be no other time it was the worse seafood I have ever had. The fish was so greasy it was wet and soggy dripping grease. There was so much grease the bottom of the container the fish was in was leaking grease everywhere. I would not recommend this place to anyone; it was just NASTY. The prices are ridiculous for the poorly cooked food.
Great menu and flavorful food!
Great fried catfish plate.Good customer service.
