Saltine, SweetWater Brewing Open; New Stage Season Announced

On Aug. 20, local chef Jesse Houston and his wife Rachel Horn Houston officially opened their new restaurant, Saltine Oyster Bar, in the west end of Duling School (622 Duling Ave., Suite 201).

Houston's restaurant offers fresh oysters from the Gulf and both coasts, seasonal vegetables, rare rums and 31 taps of craft beers from local breweries like Lucky Town Brewery, including specially flavored beers of the day and a special oyster stout that uses oyster shells as part of the brewing process. Saltine also has a Randall system that enables infusing drafts on site.

Saltine has seating for 100 people, an outdoor patio, and a nautical theme featuring antique accessories and large murals inspired by classic stories of the sea.

The menu includes a variety of oyster dishes such as Craig's Oyster Stew, wood-fired oysters, Nashville-style hot fried oyster, oyster po' boys and more. Diners will also find plenty of other fine seafood options such as broiled fish collar, seafood sausage, catfish and caviar, and more.

Saltine is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. For reservations, call 601-955-4327 or visit www.saltinerestaurant.com. Also be sure to follow the restaurant on Facebook and Twitter.
