I’m sorry to say that it was a very disappointing first impression. I have driven by this restaurant for years and today we took a friend out to dinner. All three of us made comment that we are unlikely to return.

The feel of the restaurant reminds me of a seacoast restaurant that would be right in the beach/water. Casual bench seating. But it was poorly air conditioned and stuffy hot inside. All three of us were uncomfortable and made comments about the lack of cooling.

One of us got the $27 lobster roll special which consisted of tiny crumbs of lobster meat that didn’t even half way fill the bun. And then it was only a single lobster roll serving on top of that.

The second person got the fried shrimp and clam chowder. As with the lobster roll, the amount of shrimp didn’t match expectations. The broccoli was two huge stems of broccoli and five total small florets. And the clam chowder was watered down and had little flavor.

The third person was pleased with their salmon tacos but didn’t appreciate the wait staff coming and clearing the table and delivering the check while she was still enjoying her meal. Felt as though she was being rushed out of the restaurant even though half the tables were empty.

Overall it was a sad experience that cost $84 for three people with water as our drinks.

Lovely little find.

Black and shrimp or small with an average portion size. Baked potato was good and a proper size. Hush puppies and coleslaw were small and average flavor. My guest got the hamburger steak and it was basic with nothing interesting about it. The grilled onions or chopped and small portion. Brown Gravy was pretty good and not too salty. French fries or crispy and not too salty average portion.

We love their low boil. A good value and tastes great.

This is my go to place for dinner. The seafood is great. And the burgers are amazing! You won't leave hungry. We are huge fans of all of it!

Fabulous food and service. Exceeded my expectations, especially for the area. Beach bar sort of vibe. Recommended

Very fresh seafood that is cooked perfectly…….

We sat in restaurant 15 minutes. No one said hello, good-bye, offered us a menu or a drink. It was our first time there, I guess it will be our last time!

We were in the area and wanted to try something new. The food was very good, except my red potatoes were a little cold. The burgers were amazing, and the mac and cheese was a winner! While it wasn't that busy, there were only two servers who were hustling. But the service experience would have been better if they had more people there (hint to management).

We got 5 oysters, 6 baby shrimp, 2 hush- puppies, small container of slaw. Food was just okay, nothing special at all. We paid $18.50 plus tax and gratuity eash ,which came out close to $50.00 total with gratuity.
Very, Very overpriced extra small meal.
We won't be going there anymore.

We drive over from Flat Rock (30 min.) because of the reviews. We certainly were not disappointed! Wonderful food, friendly and prompt service and a very nice atmosphere. I would cheerfully recommend that you visit the Salty Landing!

Parking: Parking all around the building. No problems.

This place is a hidden gem! Coastal style seafood place with fresh market quality fish. Lots of taps and good vibes. Big thanks to the management for mailing my phone back to me. I left it on the table and drove 3 hours away. I could not ask for better customer service. If 6 stars was an option I would give it! I will be back every time we are in the aria.
