The Salty Shack Reviews
Great establishment; love the Indian Food Cart!
Checkpoint 221 is a great family friendly place. Enjoy any of the more than dozen food carts, and sit down inside the pavilion with a beverage and enjoy your food. They have board games you can play as well as live entertainment like trivia on Thursdays and music bingo every other Monday, plus group paint sessions. The staff is super attentive and the whole facility is spotless. Great addition to West Salem!
Good place to gather and eat with plenty of choices to pick from.

The Salty Shack offers tasty fish and chips, clam strips, and chowder. The fish is lightly breaded and not greasy, with generous portions of clam strips. The chowder is a potato purée with clean clams, but it could use more clam flavor. The staff provides friendly service, and customers praise the shrimp and chips, noting that the fries are tasty and resemble real chips. There were suggestions to improve the chowder's roux. Special mention to Matt for making a perfect crab melt and recommending the delicious clam chowder. However, some customers have expressed disappointment about recent changes, mentioning that the menu seems different and the quality has declined. Despite these changes, it remains a favorite spot in West Salem with ample parking available.
