Restaurants in Salem

“The best burger around town!”

“We performed recently at this venue and it was 5* class from walking in to walking out hours later. Great atmosphere and amazing staff!”

“I’m in the bathroom and didn’t buy anything so I’m leaving a 5 star review as payment.
The owner and staff are super nice and chill and they make good food. The owner is also working with his staff, doing the same job they are, a good amount of the time I go there. Place is refreshing, relaxing, and quiet.”

“Graveyard cook is awesome”

“I think my husband thought I was crazy when I gave him directions.....even though it was 5 minutes from the hotel.
FANTASTIC!!!
Beef was local. Food was fresh.
Enviroment enjoyable.
Wish we lived closer, it was another WIN on out trip.”

“This is the real thing. Best Italian food I have ever had. Cozy little restaurant that is clean as can be and the server was just great. This girl really can multitask when taking care of the customers. The portions are generous, and the prices very reasonable. So glad we stopped there and will definitely return next time we are in Salem.”

“Great people, service, food, and drinks!”

“Great people! Cold beer! 🍻”

“I love going to Claire’s even if I don’t win I still enjoy playing and the people who manage the business. They are always kind respectful and engage with me. Make you feel like you are a friend.”

“Fantastic experience at Salem Pour House! I was visiting from out of state and instantly felt welcomed by the inviting atmosphere and friendly vibes. The bartenders were amazing—super attentive, personable, and incredibly helpful in offering tips and recommendations for someone new to the area. A great spot all around!”

“awesome...... yummy!!!!!”

“We ate here for the first time tonight and we will definitely be back. Food was so very good and our waitress was awesome. If you haven't been there yet, give them a try next time you go out to eat.”

“Best Mexican food in town! Their tacos and pretzels are just amazing for it being here in the middle of no where Illinois, definetly one of my favorite places in my whole area. The service is genuinely awesome they’ve never gotten my orders wrong and they’re always happy to help! The atmosphere is nice it’s the best they can do with what they have and I respect them for making the most out of it!

Vegetarian options: there is none I don’t think you’d have to ask or look.

Dietary restrictions: it’s not vegan and I don’t know if they do have vegan options or not, if you have any certain allergies than just ask because they will certainly help you.

Parking: just good general parking, quite a few places to park at

Kid-friendliness: Every time I go to Chico’s theres always a family with kids there playing as there are kids toys in the restaurant, as well as gumball and other machines as well as out-door seating for the kids to have fun in the rocks or whatever

Wheelchair accessibility: no stairs or anything; smooth pavement. Should be easy to access but I would just drive thru.”

“I was quite impressed with the little Chinese buffet there. Most Chinese buffets are just terrible. Food is cold and everything else so everything I had there was warm. Everything was fresh. I will be back every time I work in Salem.”

“These folks do an amazing job, fantastic menu and extremely helpful!”

“Decent prices, everything is made when ordered, got our order out in a decent amount of time. Finally, some crispy fries! Perfect fries, crinkle cut, prefect color, perfectly crispy! Order a double cheeseburger, double hamburger, chicken strips, regular fries, and cheese fries. All was very good, although the burgers could have been even better with a little seasoning, but still good! We also ordered a Caramel Sunday, and a chocolate ice cream! Way better than Dairy Queen hands down! If the burgers had a touch if seasoning, this would definitely be a 5 star! So close, I wish there was a half star i would give a 4.5”

“Always makes my day better to go through Salem Scooters!! The girl at the window with the cute dangle glasses and tattoos is the sweetest! Today I tried the iced banana matcha latte and IT WAS DELISH!”

“7:30pm the day after Valentine's Day and the waitresses were spent..but we only know that bc we talked with our waitress Ashley about the wkend. She had worked 3 doubles this wkend and was dead on her feet but a customer that didn't ask would never know! She did an amazing job and was in high spirits with a sweet smile!! Kudos to Ashley Salem IL Feb 15 😊👏🏼”
