Everything on the menu is mouthwatering pub fries and the burger are my go to. The BLT is delicious with its original mayogravy.

The owners personalities are infused into this place! Love location and the setting, but also the wine! Plus, they have a wine club :-)

What a neat venue. We came here after an event for a family meal. They have great area for larger…read moregroups, and even though we were a group of 10, they very easily accommodated a larger party at the same time, and there was plenty of room for more. Smaller tables were closer to the front so the large groups didn't bother/overwhelm with the noise. We had several shareables for the table including the pimento cheese balls, the Bavarian pretzel, and the loaded bar chips that could have easily been a meal themselves. I had the Reuben (surprise) and the sweet potato fries. The were a treat, and after all the shareables, I was able to take some fries and part of the Reuben home with me. Would love to go back and sit on the patio for happy hour one evening.

It took about 45-50 minutes to be seated and then about 40 more minutes to get our food. I wanted to leave but other in our party wanted to wait it out. My food was cold and so was another in our party. The tacos were good and hamburger good. I understand that things happen that are beyond the owners control but they could have at least given us a discount or maybe a free appetizer while acknowledging the delay. We found out later that they were short handed. But wish they would have told us this upfront so we would at least know what we were in for.

My favorite sister and I had a great belated birthday lunch for her here at Salty Cod on a fairly…read morequiet and fairly slow Friday that I took off work for - which is rare for me! She enjoyed two lovely cups of their coffee and then I think water, and I had some vino since she was driving. We split a 10 ounce filet mignon (which is not on the lunch menu but is available if you ask for it) and it was beyond delicious! I trusted our excellent server (I think her name was Holly) to select the cut of meat for sister and me from the butcher shoppe, Corkshire, and it was beyond excellent!! It was just as good, if not better than the filet I split with my Sorority Sister when we came here for my birthday in February! Sister and I also shared their take on a bruschetta. It was good; however, for me, it was the "weak link" - I like a traditional bruschetta with buffalo mozzarella, balsamic, fresh ripened tomatoes, etc., and this was more akin to a charcuterie board on toasty bread slices. It looked beautiful! The meat topping was plentiful and lovely, it had more fat on it than I care to have. There was a sort of berry relish on another layer and that's where I called it quits on the bruschetta. My sister did enjoy it, though, which is what mattered! We ordered two mac and English cheddar cheese fritters for Sister, and she really really loved those! They were presented wrapped individually in their to go box, to keep each one warm, and again, Sister, loved them! Neither of us had room for desert which, since Salty Cod has a separate bakery/gelato shoppe, would have offered some delicious options! Thanks, Salty Cod, for another memorable, relaxing birthday celebration!

Fun restaurant and yummy food! The lemon chicken salad, fish and chips, and steak are great! They…read morehave a neat dessert shop attached with cheesecakes and gelato. Would love to see more things added to the menu.

The bartender, food and drinks are all great. Everything was okay on that end, but avoid going on…read moreMondays. The host of the comedy thing (didn't catch his name but he looks to be mid 50s, long hair & beard, a beer gut and is just a few inches shy of 7 ft tall) is a physically intimidating, angry communist (his words) that apparently has never had a nice day in his life and has no problem taking that fact out on complete strangers. Not a fun hang.

We went to this divey Irish pub in a commercial strip center for one thing and one thing only: an…read moreauthentic Irish spice bag like they serve in pubs all across Ireland (but which you can rarely find in an Irish pub in the US). The pub itself looks like one you'd find in some forgotten little village in rural Ireland -- a place that time left behind from the 60s or 70s. It reeked of cigarette smoke (which is still allowed in bars in Alabama apparently). The bartender/owner was very nice and seemed genuinely happy to have customers on a slow Sunday afternoon. He was helpful in recommending some beers (they have a good selection on draft -- most from regional breweries). We ordered the Irish spice bags of course and enjoyed our beers while we waited. The fried chicken pieces and French fries came in the bag, well seasoned. On the side were the fried green peppers and fried onions and the golden curry. We added the peppers, onions and curry to the bags, shook them up and tore them open to dig into this hearty Irish treat. The chicken pieces were tender and nicely breaded (the breading did not fall off). They were quite tasty on their own. The fries were crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. The peppers and onions were fried to light brown and had just the right amount of softness. The golden curry was only mildly spicy with a great curry flavor. All mixed together, it was everything we hoped it would be. Well worth the trip to a smoky dive bar in a strip mall (we didn't even notice the smoky smell once the food came). If you've never had a spice bag, this place does them well. Food and service 5. Atmosphere 3. That accounts for the 4 rating.
