“Limited menu, but everything seemed delicious. Girls were working their tails off as they’re short staffed“

“So this was our 2nd trip, the 1st was not favorable. Woodman's without question made sure we would come back. So we did and probably on the worst weekend of the year, July 4th weekend! It was well worth it. The line was out the door and down the side walk to the next building. We questioned if we wanted to wait since they had a table set up with water and other items to pass the time. The wait was not bad at all, we had ordered 20 minutes after we started our wait and had our food in under 10 minutes. So a total of 30 minutes, not bad at all. I'm still baffled that there were so many empty tables available, where did all the people go that were in line?
We got clam chowder, a fried whole belly clams plate, a fried scallop plate and 2 fried lobster tails. All of it was excellent. The chowder was full of substance with good flavor, the fried seafood was also excellent, the fried food was clean with no old or bad frying oil taste, the fries are typical fries, the onion rings were outstanding, you can see them battering the onion rings behind the register and the lobster tails were also excellent. We had a beer and a mix drink which both were excellent as well. I actually told the bartender just make something fruity and strong that my wife will like. She made something which she said had no name but my wife was very happy.
This was all nice priced at $110 for the food and another $20 for the drinks. Yeah I know $130 sounds expensive and I agree so that's why we only do this once maybe twice a year. It was worth it to us!
I will be honest I did believe the fried lobster tail was a little small, I think they were a lobster tail that was split in half so 2 pieces out of 1 tail. The only other thing we saw was that the portions are a LITTLE small. Don't get me wrong these plates were not loaded with fries and onion rings to appear they are big portions. There was a good portion of fries and onion rings and a good amount of good sized seafood as well. It was more that when we go to these places when not knowing the size portions we each order a meal and share each other's. At the end of the meal we grab a to-go box and are like holy crap we should have just ordered 1 and shared it which we do the next time. This time we both finished our meals, left full and happy.
In the end this place is well worth it.
Speedy, friendly service, great food, priced comparable makes this place a must visit. In the end I would give this place a strong A to A+.“

“We had such a great time today grabbing lunch at Boston Burger Company, and wow, the burgers were out of this world! 🍟🍔 The kids loved the fries (and okay… so did we 😅), and those Amazing Frappes? Instant smiles all around. 🤩
It’s the perfect spot for a casual, delicious meal with the fam. Great food, fun vibes, and friendly staff (Lauren) what more can you ask for? Especially their 420 burger 🍔which includes, onion rings, mozzarella sticks and their mini mac & cheese ball added on the burger!!!😋 For a great price of $4.20 weekdays 4:20-5pm when you buy a beverage 🥤🍹🍺
If you’re looking for a fun place to treat the family (or just yourself!), definitely check it out. 🍔💛 #FamilyFun #BostonBurgerCompany #GoodEats #FoodieFam“

“We have never been disappointed with the attitude and professionalism of the staff at RV Burger today was no exception. The food was delicious with healthy portions. Our server was kind, professional and accurate. We pray that each one of you who read this review will be reminded that all this delicious food is a gift to thank God for. And the best gift you could ever have is when in his love he sent his son Jesus to die for your and my sins on the cross, and if you believe in him you would not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16“

“Crazy this place isn’t more packed with the deals they have going on! After 8pm you can get a $5 burger/fries, and they also have $3 Coors. We had the best time with the bartender Randall, who made great cocktails, and the manager Kelly who checked in on us a bunch.“

“It is so wonderful to hear that the Agawam Diner is still in business. I grew up in Portsmouth, NH and from 1975?-1989, my mother had to take me for a periodic checkup to an allergy physician in Danvers and most every time on the way back home we would stop at the diner to have something to eat. I am now 55 and living in Florida, but I will never my several visits to the Agawam Diner. For those that haven't eaten there yet, do yourself a favor and stop in. You will not be disappointed“

“I want to hear with a big group of friends after work. I think we had 12 at our table and our server was so accommodating with making sure that we had enough seats, menus, and utensils. She also knew the menu so well and was able to recommend something for me to eat because everything looked so good.

I ordered they're spicy margarita which was just spicy enough. I think I ordered a cheeseburger too and it was good, but I wish I got seafood. Someone at the table ordered musseles and they were amazing, so good that I had to make some for myself that weekend. I also got to try the corn ribs and those are a lot of fun to eat. One of my favorite things was their style of french fries because they are puffy and crispy.“

“I am a long time customer (1975) Nick's is absolutely the best there is! Once when I had a broken leg, Nick helped me (and my sandwiches etc.)out to my car. Not only great roast beef but compassionate!😍“

“The BEST around! Thankful to Paul and his staff for everything!“

“The Salt Water Grille is NOT closed now. We just had lunch there and it was magnificent. We had seafood over penne and a lobster roll and they were perfect. LOTS of seafood was on the penne. Perfect amount of sauce (not to much nor too little). And the garlic bread was over the moon too. We will definitely be back.“

“The prime rib is one of the best around! Every time we go the food and drinks and above expectations. Also, wanted to give a shout out to Brooke. She's taken care of use many times and has always been excellent!“

“Last meal before we headed overseas back home. Food was no nonsense, reasonably priced and great quality. The service from Alex was perfect. Can highly recommend for good NE seafood, right on the water.

Parking: We had to drive around a while to get parking and parked a few blocks back, even on a Monday outside of the holidays“

“Just grabbed a 3 way from Nicks on Essex. This place is a 9.2. Beef was top notch. Online ordering was a breeze. It was ready when I arrived. Friendly staff. I’ll be back! 😋“

“Good food, friendly service, & huge portions!“

“My husband and I came to Salem for our first wedding anniversary, and this spot is just amazing. Absolutely a high point in our visit so far!!

The cocktail menu alone is amazing - unique and well thought out. As much as I love any variety of Moscow Mule, you won't find that kind of thing on the menu here. Every cocktail is totally unique and creative.

And the fact that Edward Scissorhands was playing on their big screen during our visit is just icing on the cake!

If you're looking for a unique, memorable experience, THIS is the spot. We'll be back before we leave town!“

“The manager took the time to make me a fresh sandwich a few minutes beyond their closing times after I told him I have a sensitive stomach. He didn't hesitate. I can't tell you after a rough day how much that meant to me. Thank you!“

“Mia our was not only our cashier but she also took our order. She was kind and had a great smile. We thank God for her which is a reminder that each person can make such a difference. The best example is Jesus who demonstrated God’s love when he came to earth to die for your and my sins in the cross and by believing in him you would not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16“

“Came during a ladies trip in August. On our first day, we stopped by for lunch and drinks. The food was fresh and tasty. The drinks were cold and were made perfectly by the bartender. (espresso martinis were 💯) The next morning we tried their breakfast and it also did not disappoint. We sat outside both days, but the inside is beautiful and has murals on the walls. Staff were attentive and polite, I Highly recommend!“

“Had a great experience today! Kind service, 3 great chicken sandwiches.“

“Just a follow up to my recent review about this DQ concerning delicious and sweet ice cream. We could easily forget the One who made the cows who gave us milk and cream and taste buds to appreciate it. There is no sweeter news than Jesus who was sent by God in his love to die for your sins on the cross. If you believe in him he promises that you would not perish but have eternal life and be with him forever. Please never forget who is so much sweeter than the ice cream. He loves you! John 3:16“

“Favorite pizza place! The eggplant parm pizza is delicious 😋 Definitely worth trying, don't forget a side of house dressing!“
