Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Stewart Owens
So fresh tasting, fried flounder was perfect, moist flaky meat! Wilson is so blessed to have such a fine establishment!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Frank Matthews
The food is excellent! Everyone's food was cooked to perfection and tasted great! The prices are reasonable and our waiter was very attentive. I will put their food up against any seafood restaurant up and down the east coast beaches or inland. Simply fantastic.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Thomas Ellis
Much better than our previous visit. Fried flounder, shrimp, crab cakes, scallops and boom boom shrimp were wellprepared and served hot.
Our server wasn't interested. We had to find and flag her down to get our salads, refills on drinks, carry home boxes and the bill.
Beware that having oysters or scallops on combination plates add an additional $4 each.
Well worth returning!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — James Winborne
I love this place !!! Me and my daughter ate there Sunday and it was amazing!! The food was fresh and the service was excellent !!! You definitely get your money's worth too !! If you love seafood and you haven't tried Salty Shores you are definitely missing out !!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — SilverFox489
Was headed to Wilson today and wanted seafood for lunch so I decided to try Salty Shores out. I highly recommend! Owner and waitress were extremely nice and the food (baby flounder & shrimp) was very good with a good lunch portion. It is a small dinning area but very nice to sit in a not so noisy place and enjoy a good lunch. They moved to a new location in Wilson and into a bigger building, the food is still the best around!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Felicia Hayes
Food was pretty good! Only issue I had was it was hot in there! Hopefully they have that issue fixed by now.
