Reviews for Old Salty's Restaurant, LLC. in Fishing Creek, MD

The seafood at Old Salty's was pretty good. The best were the fresh raw oysters, the breadless mini crab cakes and the Jumbo... Lump Imperial. The prime rib was also a winner; it had to be ordered days in advance to ensure proper ageing and seasoning.However, other items on the menu were just okay, especially given the price point (e.g., the broiled salmon and the seafoodplatter, which weren't much to write home about). So while most food was very worthy, on the day we visited, the atmosphere wasjust okay, and the service was most lacking. We were seated almost immediately, but then had to wait close to an hour for ourfood. There was insufficient waitstaff to accommodate larger parties and they--rather than than the bartender(s)--were alsoresponsible for mixing cocktail drinks for dining patrons! There were long delays in responding to simple requests such asadditional drink straws or hot water for tea. All of the above result the average (C-) score I give to Old Salty's in FishingCreek, MD.

We were traveling through the area and a local recommended we see the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and stop by Old... Salty?s. What a great recommendation. We pulled into the parking lot where a wedding was obviously about to begin (great venue!)and bypassed the outside tiki bar for the interior bar hoping to catch some NCAA football. The staff was very busy with thewedding and catering but took immediate care of us. We ended up staying over 6 hours watching football, drinking beer and eatingsome amazing food (must try the baked pineapple!!). The bartender/manager Jeff was a hoot and although he was slammed, took thebest care of us. All of the staff was great and you can tell they enjoy working for such a great place. The owners - Matt andMelissa- AMAZING! They both took time to come chat with us and share their stories. The food was great too! We shared the crabcake covered with imperial sauce, grilled with mozzarella sauce and made with love. If you?ve read this far of this review - letme just mention the sunset ????. Beautiful and absolutely picture perfect. Great people, great staff (keep an eye on Mary!) andgreat location! Read more

Fantastic seafood and family restaurant on Hooper's Island MD. Cream of crab soup was outstanding. The best crab cake I have... ever had. All crab, no filler at all. Great desserts as well. A bit of a drive, but worth it. Great place to go after timespent at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Great staff. Plenty of parking. You need to go. Highly recommended. Read more

Beat the rain down here. Great Cream of Crab with lump and old bay. Crab dip was good too. Crab balls were excellent but could... been in fryer for 30 more seconds. No problem, gonna take the rest home and throw them in the air fryer for a awesome snacklater. 5 stars date night for not so newlyweds :) Read more

My fiancée and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and had an awesome experience. While we were a little surprised by the higher ... than expected price point, after enjoying the fresh as hell seafood, we understand one must pay for quality! Killer crab cakesandwich; all meat, no filler. AMAZING soft shell crab sandwich too; perfectly, lightly fried (not one, but TWO crabs on whitebread with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo). Our server cracked us up with her myriad of stories and local, small-town pride.We highly recommend! Ps. We inquired about a catering menu, but the owner was ?in a helicopter? circling the skies above therestaurant. This is not an exaggeration. ???????????????? Read more

As someone who loves to support local business, I was excited to try Old Salty?s. We?ve heard about it since we moved here in... 2020. We had family visiting from out of town and decided it was a good time to give it a try. What a disappointing experience.The five of us got the brisket nachos and jerk chicken skewers for an appetizer (both featured specials).Nachos were good.. Thechicken was over cooked and dry and very salty- impossible to even slide off the skewer. But we kept optimistic and didn?tcomplain. Three of us ordered the salmon (two blackened and one broiled) dinner. It was terrible. The blackened seasoning washeaped on and so salty we had to send it back. The broiled was dry and overcooked but our sister tried to make the best of it.We requested broiled instead for the replacement salmon. When it arrived it was undercooked and the quality of all the salmonwas very bad. Very thin and very fishy - all inedible. The cream of crab soup was also bad. When the check arrived, they had notremoved our entrees that we didn?t eat. I had to request them to be removed and it was embarrassing. There was no sincereapology, the manager never came to speak to us, nothing. We all left hungry. I don?t understand how this place has 4.5 stars.Won?t be back and it?s a real shame. Maybe they had a bad day but the way they handled it was disappointing. Read more

We visited this restaurant today and were blown away by how great the food was! It was worth the 75 minute drive from VA! We had... the crab dip and brisket nachos for appetizers and the Delmonico steaks for our entrees. It all tasted amazing, the portionswere generous and the staff was wonderful. We will definitely be back often ? Read more

Great food and great service! Have been here several times with large groups and they are always very accommodating.
