Saltine

Nashville


Offering fresh oysters, po'boys, crab cakes and Creole gumbo, Saltine's seafood-heavy menu certainly aims to please. The maritime decor extends throughout the West End locale, with massive tentacles etched on the walls. Chose to dine in the tiled pool section, which comes equipped with a 'No Diving' sign.
