We visited this restaurant since it was close to our hotel. The most appreciated meal was the kids grilled cheese sandwich. My tuna steak was room temperature. The fries were probably Ore-Ida, and not many of them. Service was good, but the food didn't match. Not worth a return visit.

We took a chance and visited this local restaurant while on vacation. We were the only two people in the place. That's really too bad because the food and service were fantastic. We ordered the homemade onion rings and out came an entire plate full. Yummy! Then had the crab legs that were sweet and plentiful. Next time we come... More

Been coming here for several years now for their fried seafood as it is the best in the area in my opinion & I live locally. Brenda & her staff do a good job and you get a honest meal for a fair price. It isn't a fancy place, I would call it quaint & cozy.

The steamed combo was off the hook and the steamed shrimp was as well. Service was great. Hats off to the 60yr old lady waiting tables and handling the business.

Old Salty's is right on the boardwalk in Carolina Beach and not really much to look at...However, their salad fixings are always fresh and their fried oyster blue plates are good values. The oysters are fresh and fried with a light, somewhat sweet batter. Excellent! The fried catfish blue plate is also excellent and a good value with fries, coleslaw,... More

Such a beachy place! Food was quiet tasty, service was great! We will return! Short walk from Courtyard, on the boardwalk. I had fried shrimp, husband had fried oysters. Nothing fancy but all around satisfying.

The grilled salmon sandwich is always perfectly cooked and the service is great. The onion rings are really good also and you can walk to the beach from the boardwalk.

We found this restaurant through TripAdvisor and decided to give it a try because it was so close to where we were staying (Marriott Courtyard Carolina Beach). It was late. It was Sunday. It was November. We were 2 of 5 patrons. The service was excellent and the food was pretty good. It felt like a shore place, in keeping... More
