Review by Mittie Bednar

Saltbox Seafood Joint offers a cozy vibe with a casual atmosphere - perfect for a laid-back meal. The honey hush puppies are an absolute must-try! šŸÆ

I sampled the shrimp plate, which was decent, but a bit less refined than my usual NC expectations. The slaw felt off, and the sweet tea was a disappointment - way too much lemon for my taste.

Service was friendly, and while my experience had highs and lows, the ambiance keeps me wanting to return. Perhaps Iā€™ll give the crab cake roll another shot next time! šŸŒŠ
