Salty Mule - Canton (GA)

2 /5 Nikki D: Great Starter, But Very Disappointed With Main Course The atmosphere was nice, and we got seated immediately — no wait time. The starter, honey garlic jalapeño shrimp, was something new for us and was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the main course was a huge letdown. I ordered the Fish Orleans (mahi mahi), but the fish was extremely chewy and hard — nothing like the mahi mahi I’ve had before. It was served over dirty rice, and the taste immediately felt off to me. We don’t eat beef or any other red meat, only chicken and fish. We specifically asked our server to check with the kitchen about the ingredients in the dirty rice, and she came back saying it only had chicken. Later, I realized it tasted like it had other meat, which was very upsetting because we’ve never eaten that in our lives. I even took a picture showing how chewy the fish was. On top of that, the server didn’t seem to care or check on how the food was, despite the restaurant not being very busy. She simply passed by our table without asking. While the starter was great, the main course and service left me very disappointed. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

2 /5 Han Solo: I liked the atmosphere of this bar the most, very laid back beachy feel. I ordered the salmon and sauteed spinach. My honest review is that the spinach lacked taste albeit other than salty water, there is no other flavor. Add some garlic and lemon juice or something and less salt in the water. The salmon was not fishy which means it is good qualoty and fresh but the cooks do not know how to cook salmon properly. My salmon was dry and overcooked. The seasoning was fine but again too much salt and lacking any carribean flavor. Jerk seasoning on the salmon would have been nice with a kick of spice and sweetness. Overall, it was fine but after spending close to 30$ on one plate, it was not 30$ worthy. I will not be doing that again. I have yet to find a place that does salmon right other than Tavern house and that was years ago.

4 /5 Beth Ford: Overall, pleasant experience. Quiet Friday afternoon lunch with friends. Wasnt busy at all and sat immediately. Shared 2 appetizers and we each ordered a meal. Food was good, not fantastic, but good. Military discount is appreciated.

2 /5 M C: Atmosphere was great! The food, beyond the appetizer, was horrible. In addition, the service was awful. My husband and I went for an early dinner. Arriving, the restaurant was packed and we were promptly seated. Our waitress came and took our drink and appetizer order. We ordered two teas and a pound of the peel and eat red shrimp. The drinks and appetizer were served quickly. This gave us hope that it would be a good dining experience. Once we finished the appetizer we ordered our entrees. My husband ordered the Captn platter which comes with fried oysters, grilled shrimp, scallops, and flounder with french fries, coleslaw, and hushpuppies. I ordered the Jr. Surf and turf which comes with red shrimp (grilled or fried) and a 4 oz filet (medium rare) with one side. I chose fries and added an additional side of bacon cream corn. While we waited on our meal, a musician set up and began to play his set. It was the highlight of our experience. After some time the food was delivered to our table. There were issues with our food immediately. My steak was OVER cooked. It was like a piece of leather, the corn was cold, the fries had sugar on them and my husbands drink was empty. The waitress NEVER came back to check to see if we were good or needed anything. When we were done our waitress came back to bring our ticket. I mentioned to her that the steak (I did not eat) was tough and overcooked. She offered a discount on a dessert. All in all this was a disappointing dining experience! If you choose to go, make sure to order your fries unseasoned and stick to the peel and eat shrimp.

3 /5 Terry Reilley: I’ve eaten dinner here a few times in the past but never lunch. Generally, the food is good albeit there are certain things to avoid, like the fried oysters because they are small and canned (server verified they use canned oysters). They have a nice menu and their weekend specials are usually decent. Which brings us to lunch… My wife and I decided to eat here for lunch today, which is Wednesday, December 31st of 2025. It wasn’t crowded at all at around 12:15pm and we were our server’s only table. She looks all of 17 with super long ornately-decorated nails. Nice young girl, but not really a good server. We ordered two lunch specials, with my wife having the shrimp basket and I had fish and chips. I asked my server if the fish and chips came with hush puppies and she replied “no”, so I asked my wife if she’d share a side order of five pups with me. We placed our order and it took 25-30 minutes for the food to arrive. All of this was fried, so it literally should’ve taken maybe ten minutes. Again, it wasn’t busy at all. The server never came by to check to see if we needed more drinks or to let us know when our food was coming. That was irritating to say the least. When our food arrived, my wife had four small shrimp, fries, and two hush puppies, which the server could’ve mentioned when I asked my wife if she wanted to share a side of them and ordered a $5 worth of pups. My fish and chips had one perfectly-angular piece of fish, about a half-inch thick and fries. Definitely fish that was breaded at a processing plant and frozen. No way it was fresh. That said, I’m still wondering why it took 25-30 minutes at this point. The server didn’t check on us until my wife had finished her meal and had been out of drink for about ten minutes. The server saw that from a distance and brought refills, then brought the check. The two meals were $10 each, plus $5 for pups, and $3 for a Diet Coke. Just under $30 with tax. We tipped her $3 and that was generous considering how poor of a server she was. She clearly sat in the kitchen most of the time rather than making sure her only table was good to go. By all means, go here at dinner, but avoid at lunch. I think they are very confident in their food since they’re one of the very few seafood places in Canton and quite possibly the only one open for lunch. Their bar was busier than the rest of the place, so I imagine that’s probably par for the course on a regular weekday. We were very disappointed because we like the place and they have good weekend specials. Other reviews will verify that their service needs improvement though. And for the owner or manager that reads this review, consider not charging $10 for one small piece of frozen fish that takes you 25 minutes to deep fry. You could’ve served six shrimp instead of only four. Four? Really? You can do better.
