Southern Salt Seafood Company and Waterfront Restaurant

I ate here during The Big Rock this weekend. I had the flounder and shrimp, and it was delicious. Place was packed out and they did a great job getting us in and out. I definitely recommend and sitting on the deck gave us wonderful views

The Food, Service and Atmosphere were all very good. The Surf and Turf was great. Will visit again.

Great outside dining on the marina! Food, and service was great. We ate here twice during our vist to Moorehead City, NC.

The quality of the seafood here is amazing! One of the best seafood restaurants I've been to. A lot of the fish they serve is fresh out of the water from their own dock! You can taste the freshness for sure! The stuffed mahi was absolutely incredible! Definitely be coming back!!!

This is such a great seafood restaurant! They have excellent food and a wonderful staff. Outdoor dining on the water was simply amazing!

I do not recommend because we had to ask multiple times for refills, hush puppies and other stuff that we were suppose to have gotten with our orders. ordered 3 cheeseburgers no alcohol beverages, no desserts and 1 appetizer and bill was over 90.00. The food was not great, service sucked so will not recommend to anyone. i'll stick to El's drive in if I want a burger!

One of our most favorite places to eat when visiting Morehead City NC. Top level dining. You can set inside or out on the deck overlooking the water. Sometimes you’re even entertained by the dolphins.

Old school waterfront seafood restaurant right on the water. Found most places were closed on Monday night but not this one. Great food and generous portions. I had grilled mahi mahi and 2 sides. The hush puppies were great too. Found it by mistake but will come back. Great service too.

Vegetarian options: saw a vegetarian option on the menu

For not being busy, the service was pretty slow and I sat at the bar. The server was very pleasant once she got around to me.

The drinks were good, which made the initial wait ok.

The food is what makes this place work. Locally sourced foods shine ?. The jump off points began with oysters. Fresh, plump and salty define these gems. Well worth it.

My Mahi Mahi was tasty, even though it was mildly overcooked. The wedge salad was great and the side of shrimp ? set this meal off.

Everything was fresh and full of distinct flavors. It might be a tad pricey, but not bad for the quality.

Recommended dishes: Calamari

Definitely not worth it! I wish we would've seen the previous reviews and picked somewhere else! $170 for 3 adults and a child to eat and the food was definitely not worth it. No hush puppies. The calamari was tiny but good. The seafood chowder and clam chowders were not good, basically just tasted like pepper. The crab legs were super bland, good, but bland. The Whipped potatoes for the side were also flavorless. One person in our party ordered the pan seared scallops entree and got 7 scallops and could've been way better. Definitely not worth $39. The other person in our party ordered the clam spaghetti and said the clams were super chewy and rubbery and the flavors of the dish itself just weren't good so she didn't even eat hers. Kids shrimp meal with fried shrimp and fries was the best thing out of what we ordered. The restaurant wasn't busy at all but just seemed like the service and attentiveness just wasn't there at all. Had to ask for menus and then ask again for a kids menu. Our order got mixed up a couple times and stuff brought out to us out of order. Also, realized after finished my soda that inside the cup had previous food/drink residue that definitely was not part of my drink. Just all in all a bad experience and cheap quality food with tiny portions and BIG prices. We definitely wouldn't go back or recommend.
