I highly recommend this place. Their prices are reasonable and the appetizers and meals delicious.

My husband wanted to try this restaurant because it had gotten good reviews for its Cajun fried rice. It was super busy when we got there so we were placed on a waiting list. No problem! There was a crawfish festival going on right outside its doors so I checked out some vendors while waiting. When our number was called I headed back to what was a literal zoo! It was so noisy that I couldn't converse with my husband. One customer (hyena) was talking and laughing so loudly from the back bar area that her voice carried to the front and startled me every time she opened her mouth. Just uncouth and inconsiderate. I had seen lots of people outside eating boiled crawfish that was pouring out of the styrofoam containers but my husband suggested I get it here. It was on the menu for $9/ 1/2lb and $15/lb but with a minimum pound order, and today bc they were competing with the festival, they upped the price to $20/lb. I had never had whole crawfish but it looked delicious from the outside vendors. I thought my husband was splitting the order with me but he ordered the Cajun fried rice and a grouper fish sandwich. He also ordered the soft shell crab appetizer. It was okay. It was 1 crab, maybe. I was so disappointed when my food arrived in a bag, especially then learning how to twist off the head of the crawfish and discovering there isn't much to them, so in essence it's a pound of useless head. I also thought the crawfish was bland and not worth the effort. Not the restaurant's fault that I didn't know better. My husband said the grouper upset his stomach and tasted like an oil sandwich. To make matters worse, we sat next to a table of 4 young people cursing and on a video call, 1 who made me hyper alert about my surroundings. I was just turned off by the environment and couldn't enjoy my food so I took the entire meal with us so my husband could eat it later. $80 bill for a meal we didn't enjoy and a loud and uncouth environment. read more

This place has greeeeaatttt food! Dined here multiple times but this time on a Friday at 530! Surprisingly we were able to make a reservation! Our waitress was nice but as it got busy, it took her so long to come and check on us. We asked for our waitress multiple times and even had to just go tell her that we're ready to cas out, still took her 30 mins to check on us even after we went to tell her. Besides that, the food was delicious and we got a jump salt Rita an it was SKKKRROOONNGGG!!! Was def good!!! Will def be back read more

We went to the Saltwater Crab for the first time on Friday night! It was packed with people which always is a great start for trying somewhere new! We were seated on the outdoor patio, right away our server came and took our order. We started with the edamame, which was traditional but inexpensive. The shaggy dog sushi was fantastic; I definitely would get this roll again. I heard great things about the cajun fried rice, but to me this dish didn't stray far from traditional fried rice flavor wise. My least favorite part of the whole experience was how loud the restaurant was. If you are looking more for a party scene or going out for drinks, this is your place! Next time I will be getting sushi to go! read more

They have a very extensive menu. I went with a large party of 20 and our server was great! All of the orders were perfectly presented. The food was tasty too. I ordered the gumbo (not much seafood in it but tasty), the Los Angeles sushi roll, and catfish bites, all delicious. My daughter also got the dumplings and #1 boil bag mild and literally demolished it. It is a huge place so there is plenty of space and parking is around. Only downside was that the party space was in a sunroom and it was cold. read more

We dined in again and had an event better time that the last. I absolutely couldnt wait to enjoy the CajunSeafood rice. I also ordered 2 spicy crafish rolls (which include a soup and salad) along with the fabulous 4 for $10 poinsettas. The rice was 10/10. Large portion size, seasoned well and perfectly cooked seafood. The poinsettas will get you right everytime. Brittany Z was an amazing hostess for our party. We enjoyed the back enclosed patio area which was warm and spacious for our group. read more

Customer service is great, I recall being greeted by almost every staff person I passed walking to my table which is rare. The environment felt familiar and inviting which is important! The food was super tasty and came out quickly, the Cajun seafood rice with veggies was flavorful, I would order again and sushi rolls, I had the 4 for $10 poinsettias and the bartender didn't miss!! The server for our table of 9 was patient and attentive even when the restaurant became busy. I can't wait to go back and try the seafood boils. read more

This was suggested by my son prior to attending the Mimosa festival. They were extremely busy, but the service was fast, and we were seated in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered and received our drinks, and the food in an also reasonable amount of time. The ambiance gives an old school restaurant feel. However, everything was clean, and it offers ample space for larger or small parties. The server was amazing, attentive, and easily accessible for things that we needed. read more

We were seated swiftly, and our server, Brittany, was nice! However, our food was just okay. We enjoyed the King sushi roll, which was fresh and tasty, but the Cajun chicken fried rice with veggies was not good. The rice tasted steamed and tasteless. To the rice, we added vegetables, Cajun garlic butter, and seafood sauce because we like spicy food, but that did not help. We began to feel unwell and requested an empty bag to take home in case we became ill on our way home. We made it home with no sickness! The place was pretty crowded, the vibe was chill, but the food needed help. read more

Food was fair at best for the price. I was alone and my service was slow. They are understaffed.

This was my first time and it was phenomenal. My waitress Tish recommended the top two sushi rolls ( the shaggy dog and big boy) , and suggested I try the Cajun rice. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was the seafood dip. I have had seafood dip in many places and I have to say this one was the best hands-down it is warm and very flavorful. read more

I ordered a ton of food. Every piece was delicious. The pushin P drink tastes like a pink starburst. Eat cocktail I've had in a long time. The seafood Fried Rice is to die for!!!!

First time visitor at SWC but sampled quite a few things between 5 of us. The gumbo was impressive, the reux was close to my New Orleans hometown, not burnt, good flavor and plenty of seafood. The salmon with crab meat and spinach was very good. My wife has the Mahi mahi which might have been a bit on the dry side but was seasoned well. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back to sample some of the other items in the menu. read more

Don't walk, run here! Literally one of my favorite places, especially for happy hour! The drinks are cheap & the food always hits, literally no matter what you get.

Gave this place a spin tonight & it was well worth it! Service with the staff was super good & very friendly. The staff is knowledgeable of what they like & answered all the questions of...what's the best or what do you like. Really liked the staff knew the product. The place was fun & had plenty of TVs to watch games at the bar. We had a few drinks along with oysters to start which were good. Ordered a Batman Roll & a Crunchy Crab Roll which was very good along with the Cajun Fried Rice with veggies. This is some of the freshest & outstanding fried rice dishes I have had in a while! If you are in the Overton Square area this is a must stop if you like the Asian Cajun Fusion thing that is going on here! read more

The fried green tomatoes were so delicious, I ended up getting two orders. Fun atmosphere and great service.

I don't know how I've never tried this place as much as I frequent midtown, but last night I got my chance! Hubby and I decided to have a casual but nice dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was everything honestly! We did have reservations, but ultimately didn't really "need" one. We went on a Monday evening around 630pm and the place was practically empty. It really felt like we had the place to ourselves, which made it that much better. After looking over the menu, hubby ordered gumbo to "start." I ordered "The 901" sushi burrito. For our entrees, we both ordered the drunken lamb, which comes with mashed potatoes and broccoli. We definitely didn't anticipate how big the portions would be, but you definitely get plenty! I'd say pricing is pretty fair based on that alone. Taste: honestly EVERYTHING we tried was SO good! The gumbo was very good, the sushi was fresh and the lamb was cooked to perfection. I'm so glad we didn't change our minds and go somewhere else. I've found a new spot and I'll definitely be back to try a bunch more. read more

I've only ever had sushi at this location. Both times I went it was because I was on a lunch break or didn't have much time. I ordered sushi because I felt like it would have a short waiting time - I was right. And the sushi is always good! The ambiance is cool, not too loud but it probably just depends on who is dining that day. Both times I was seated quickly and had a friendly server. For parking there is a small lot in the back, but if there are no spots there, it is located in the square so there are some street parking spots and of course the parking garage on the next street over. read more

Walked in at 815pm, was seated and havung drinks by 8:25 pm, litetally. The table was really impressed with the variety of the menu and mentioned coming back to try other things. We had the Batman Roll, Blackened Mahi and Fried Rice (which was actually a deconstructed hibachi plate). Tons of flavor, nice place, great attentive service. read more

We went on a Friday night with a group of 5 and it didn't take long to get a table. Service was good. Drinks and food were amazing. We ordered about 5-6 rolls to share and each one was delicious. The seafood dip was okay, didn't really taste the seafood flavors and it was salty. Will try the crawfish nachos next time instead. Definitely a good place for couples or small groups. read more

Had a solid lunch at Saltwater Crab. I ordered the peach salad which was very good. The peaches, blueberries, and greens tasted fresh. I loved the candied nuts. I ordered chicken to top it off. It was prepared fresh and was tender and tasty. 18 year old ordered the same salad with salmon. Husband enjoyed grouper sandwich. The fries were excellent. Service.was quick and friendly. read more

I have had so many friends go here and brag about how good it is. I finally was like I have to go check this out. I went with a friend who had been before and when I tell you they did not disappoint. The fried green tomatoes is sooooo good. You have to order this as an appetizer. I mean it is delicious. I ordered the Salmon dish for my entree and it did not disappoint. It came with all this deliciousness on top It was topped with crab meat and a scallop. My mouth couldn't keep up with the taste and how fast I was downing the food. I didn't order a drink from the bar but the water was good . The service was great and the inside is blah, not in a bad way but nothing fancy. read more

Saltwater Crab is now a must have every time I visit Memphis. I went here twice within the week I was there. The first time I went during lunch and had the lunch sushi special, can't recall the rolls I got but it was bomb. The side salad that comes with it, I loved it so much. The second time I went I got the Cajun fried rice with chicken shrimp and veggies sooooo good! The service the first time was impeccable, no complaints. The second time I went during a busier time on a Saturday so the server wasn't as attentive as I would've hoped. Overall, I will return for sure! read more

We did not know what to expect when we chose this restaurant tonight. I have to eat gluten-free and I had no trouble having a delicious meal of sushi and scallops. They even brought me small packets of gluten-free soy sauce. My husband had the gumbo. The prices were reasonable, the ambience was relaxed and laid-back. Our server was attentive and we appreciated that it was easy for us to hear each other because there was not a lot of noise in the background. We would absolutely eat here again. read more

It's a "go-to" spot with a vibe. Nice jeans and polo or Sundress and cute clothes spot. The drinks are good, the calamari is better and the vibe is nice. The food can be messy because it's seafood in a bag. Yet there are some other great options like the lamb. (OMG) Not a cheap spot, but not an overly expensive one... unless you make it expensive. Great for first dates and conversation gatherings in Midtown. read more

Food was generally pretty good for seafood in Memphis. Was surprised to hear that the crab was actually fresh and not frozen! Nothin was particularly ~amazing~ to the taste but I would come back if I were craving seafood in Memphis. The restaurant was very clean and decorated nicely. Our waitress was so nice and helpful! It's in a nice area too, it felt very safe. Not sure why more people haven't been here. I asked a few locals and they said they hadn't heard anything good or bad about the place. Glad we tried it out! read more

This is a nice casual dining restaurant. It's not super crowded, but there was a steady flow. Keep in mind, I went on a Thursday night. The appetizers we had included the edamame and the fried green tomatoes. The edamame were warm and good. This was a nice twist on the traditional southern fried green tomatoes. The Saltwater Crab Roll was so pretty. It was nice to look at to admire the colorful presentation. There's another roll call the GodZilla that I'm thinking to try the next time. The service was ok. It didn't seem to crowded, but checking on the table was a bit slow. But I'd still return to try something else on the menu. It could make for a nice outing for friends, family, or a date. I like my company, so I'd go alone too! Check it out if you're near the Overton Square area. read more

Ordered through Grubhub at 7:30p on a Monday; received my order at 8:20. My hotel was ~15 minutes from the restaurant. I ordered the Batman Roll, which was a fairly typical but still tasty speciality roll. I also got the Red Dragon Sushi Burrito, which was more of a letdown. I liked the idea of a sushi burrito, but the execution was lacking. The ratio of ingredients was off (too much fish, too little rice), and it started falling apart pretty quickly. I ordered a sweet tea but it did not come - this could just as easily been Grubhub's fault though. read more
