Salty Mule

The first thing I noticed was sticky table. (Yes other table was sticky too). I think that the kind of table they have inside. They have great selection of food. I got grilled platter ( red shrimp and chicken breast) and my husband got fish and chips. Not like other restaurants, they have big serving and worth every penny. The service is fast and excellent. They have different promo every day like $1 oyster from 4 pm to closing( with specific day), $10 lunch from 11 to 2 pm and more.

Sally's Famous Red Shrimp and Grits were the absolute best! Followed by some Gator Tail ... yes, please! I will most definitely be a new frequent customer. This is a great place to go to, any day of the week. Update 12/20/23: The Grilled Platter is fantastic! Blackened Scallops and Mahi Mahi with Bacon Brussel Sprouts...man, I love this place!

Pretty chill atmosphere, but I think more bartenders should be on staff. Took me a while to get an old fashioned. The bartender took my order and then served like 15 other people beer and cocktails before getting around to making a rather lackluster old fashioned. The oysters were good, however. Overall, it's a good atmosphere though and the experience was enjoyable. I'd go somewhere else if I was looking for more personalized service.

Really wanted to like this place…. It came highly recommended but we had a poor experience. Came for the $1 oyster deal, but my hubby and I got food poisoning and both had to call out sick to our jobs today because of it. Bloody Mary’s were good, but our fried seafood baskets were just average. Oysters smelt extremely fishy…. Wish we would have not eaten them in retrospect. Our server was nice, however the extremely young hostess gave me and my hubby weird vibes. She was overly complimentary with him upon our arrival (with me right there)… What the heck! And he told me afterwards she was eyeballing him the whole time we ate. Very odd. I’ve never had this type of experience anywhere before but it left a weird taste in my mouth. Figuratively and Literally!

My family and I were looking for somewhere to meet after my father's burial at the Georgia National Cemetery. I emailed the restaurant 2 weeks prior, and the owners were more than helpful. They were very patient with me as I must have emailed several times verifying info. When we showed up, they had space prepared for us. I was told there wasn't a "private room" in our email correspondence, but there was a front area that was perfect. There is plenty of room to move around. Roger greeted us and was an absolute delight, even sharing a magic trick near the end of our gathering ( perfect timing and not at all imposing). We were there for a couple of hours, sharing the joys of my dad's life, and he would have enjoyed the casual atmosphere! Our waitress Jodie was also super kind, helpful, and never appeared to be stressed by the number of guests at our table. She never rushed us and was super attentive and anticipated our needs without hounding or pressing. We will be coming back in June when my father's headstone is placed. Thank you!

So after 3, 1.5 hour one way trips I think this place is worth a review. The portion’s and price’s are VERY reasonable. But that’s not the reason the wife and I make the 1.5 hour trek down out of the mountains. The food is SO good, the owners definitely got it right with this place. And should I mention the atmosphere.? Yeah it’s pretty awesome too. So if we can drive 3 hours round trip for supper, what’s stopping you from trying it? NOTHING do yourself a favor and give them a try you won’t regret it.

We visited Canton for a wedding last weekend and stumbled across the Salty Mule. Great crowd and energy, as well as a special on oysters motivated us to give it a try. The oysters were the freshest and best I've ever had and the Buffalo Shrimp were OUTSTANDING. On top of the food and atmosphere, the owners were incredible. Shannon and Bubba hung out with us chatting until after the restaurant closed and have become our new friends in Canton. GREAT PEOPLE!!! We will most definitely be back, but our advice is that if your travels take you through this part of Georgia, or anywhere even close to Canton, this restaurant is worth the drive. Casual, reasonable prices, and exceptional food served by amazing humans. Not sure what else you. can ask for in a restaurant. Thank you Shannon/Bubba for a super fun night.
