Customer Reviews
Frozen mudslide was wonderful that I would say was the highlight, I ordered the fish basket that came with two pieces of large haddock, although not much fries and only one tartar sauce, which wasn’t even enough for one piece of fish, my friend got the whole belly clams although half of them were strips. We spent about $130 including tips so I would say that the food was good but they should definitely give more tartar sauce and a normal portion of fries since mine was half of what my friend got. The food was hot. Everyone was smiling, nice, cool breeze, and looking at the inlet and all the people out. Crapping was cool.
Salty has always been my go-to spot. Yeah, during peak times it can get busy, but honestly, I’ve never waited more than 30 minutes not a big deal. That said, I actually stopped going this year. Over the past few summers, I noticed they were giving way more fries than actual whole belly clams. It got disappointing after a while. But today, on a whim, we decided to give it another shot and wow, I’m glad we did. When we got home and opened up the box, there were at least three dozen fresh, perfectly fried whole belly clams in each order. I even had leftovers. Still sitting on a dozen! Their coleslaw has always been a favorite of mine, and the fries are still solid too. I really hope they keep this up. Consistency is everything it’s what keeps people coming back, and unfortunately, too
Cool little place we found after leaving Misquamicut Beach. We were looking for a hot lobster roll and Sally’s did not disappoint. It has a nice outdoor seating area with plenty of tables with umbrellas. We got the hot lobster rolls, clam strips and New England clam chowder. We would definitely come back, everything was delicious!
Salty's Clam Shack is an excellent clam shack with a great variety of seafood options from which to select. Salty's sits on the edge of the water and offers outside dining (on tables with umbrellas) with nice views and outdoor activities to enjoy while you wait for your food to be ready. The portions of food were extremely large (enough for leftovers or to share), and the seafood was all very fresh and tasty. They also have a bar with beer and wine available. Great choice for fresh seafood and outdoor dining!
Stopped in for a fish basket — the fries were excellent and the fish itself was good, nicely cooked and tasty. The coleslaw was on the sweet side, which wasn’t really to my liking. Biggest drawback was the wait: about 10 minutes in line and then 35 minutes to actually get the food, which felt long for a casual shack-style spot. Overall, decent food (especially the fries), but be prepared for a wait and a coleslaw that’s more sweet than tangy.
