50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Essex

“Made a trip down to J.T. Farnhams today (first one of the season). Fried Clams and Shrimp were AWESOME!!! Can't wait for our next trip down.“

“Good food, great drinks !! Nice water view !! A little noisy though !! Thanks for a wonderful evening Sharon D.“

“5 stars all the way with this one. Rated as "The Best Seafood in America." The restaurant has received many awards and I can see why. The fried clams, are second to none. Sweet and tasty. The onion rings are also excellent. Supposedly, the first clam was fried here in the town of Essex. Woodman's has been cited as "an American Cult Classic-right up there with baseball and apple pie." It has a full bar, it is family friendly & has excellent water views. The fried clams served here are the best I have ever eaten.“

“Fresh lobster. I recommend to pick female with the right season because of their eggs is the best not just the body part. Always very long line but worth of time to wait! Second floor very quiet and serene with a long table and seat, good for family Recommend for traveler who visiting around there. Place for memory.

Kid-friendliness: Good place for memory. There are oceans around there for after meal also.“

The menu can be found online and the paper menu in-house is clearly marked with possible allergen information! 10/10.“

“There’s not enough good things I can say about these guys. Not only is their food delicious but they are the nicest people I’ve ever encountered in a pizza shop. They are always happy to accommodate and their flavor is always top tier! My coworkers and I go weekly, sometimes twice; never disappointed .Tonight they catered a group meeting I was holding,Each group member gave the pasta dishes 10 out of 10 stars! Thank you so much guys.“

“Absolutely incredible pastries that are as decadent tasting as they are gorgeous works of art. Three Michelin Stars!!!“

“A hidden gem, and wonderful spot in Salem!! Fabulous drinks, a wonderful story, and the greatest staff. Perfect spot for just about anything.“

“Notch Brewing is a great day drinking spot especially on a nice day. They have a nice outdoor area with benches where you can enjoy your beer and food. The sausage sandwich was good. Nice combo of flavors. The pretzel was your standard pretzel. The beers are served in big glasses/mugs so be ready to drink. Food is limited to shared bites. They do not have extensive menu so eat before or after you come. Cool spot if you are into beers.“

“We have been coming to Gloucester for 20+ years and just happened to find this gem. The food was fresh and plentiful and the staff was out of this world. This restaurant has now been added to our yearly list of places we visit. Thank you for a wonderful experience. A+++++++++“

“We drive 45 minutes to & from to eat at the Clam Box. My husband grew up down the street and I worked in town for 15 years. Plus my parents would take me there as a kid. ALWAYS consistent! ALWAYS delicious. 10 out of 10! Worth the wait in line at peak season every time!“

“Great pizza, awesome staff!!“

“The food was SO good and our server was super sweet.“

“Awesome food at a great price. Friendly people!“

“I can’t say enough great things about The Babe! Our food was excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I had the Mr. Falafel sandwich, and I was still talking about it days later! It was so good—perfectly balanced flavors with just the right amount of tzatziki sauce (heavenly), all wrapped up in a soft wrap. The one recommendation I would make would be to cut the falafels into four pieces just to make it easier to eat. But to be honest, it didn’t stop me from devouring the whole thing, and I will be back to eat another one! But it will be a tossup—do I get the truffle burger or do I get another Mr. Falafel? My boyfriend got the Reuben, and he said it was incredible as well! Our bartender was fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and rocking these awesome little heart glasses. She really knew her stuff when it came to cocktails. They actually serve orange Combier, which I feel is the cream of the crop for making the best margarita! She made us a fantastic margarita, and I also had another drink with grapefruit (I don’t remember the name), but it was delicious too! We sat at the bar and had the chance to meet one of the owners, who was so friendly and kind. The whole place has such a welcoming vibe, and I can only imagine how fun it must be when they have live music. I really can’t wait to go back!!“

“Love this place. Can’t wait to come back“

“Taco Tuesday has the best choices of fillings. I had a pork belly and a haddock. Both so different and quite tasty. You can’t beat the price. Oh, and one of the biggest selections of tequilas on the North Shore!“

“Love this place great food and history great place to stop in and get a bite to eat when you are in Salem!!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here.“

“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!😍“

“Free parking in the rear! This spot does not disappoint. Great pizza and feet selection on pasta and others. The spaghetti and meatballs don’t disappoint, the lobster ravioli was also exceptional. The best part of this is well the customer service first and foremost. What’s a close second is the complimentary rolls with oil cheese and dried peppers. We were also lucky enough for the staff to bring us ricotta cheese balls on the house! Staff was super friendly with the kids also so that is always a plus.“

“Scott and his crew are a welcome staff to this place. Had an awesome toasted Italian today with some pizza and a few other items to boot. Great service, clean place, excellent food. Can’t wait to go back!! Good luck Scott, you’re going to kill it!!“

“our first lobster here in Massachusetts had the lobster roll and was amazed! price was about 50 a person. would definitely go back!“

“Beyond happy that I found this place. I was able to organize my mom’s birthday party without having to worry about the food thanks to Ellie’s. Everyone loved it and I am sure you will be getting more business from us soon. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Thanks so much for helping make our event a huge success.“

“My sisters and I held our dad's retirement party at Ipswich Ale Brewery last weekend and we could not be happier with our experience - AMAZING service, food, and drinks! Caroline, Myles, and the whole staff were so accommodating and easy to work with - they made coordinating this event truly effortless on our end and even helped us set up some decorations we brought. I've already recommended Ipswich Brewery as a venue to all who attended and will definitely keep them in mind for any future events! :)“

“Like our waitress say “ you can’t never go wrong with a Cataplana “ yes patrichia was right Delicious .“

“The food is excellent WE HAD CHICKEN AND Stake every thing that we had is excellent“

“We are visiting from England and have been to Heart and Soul three times in the past week. Why? Yes, the coffee is excellent and the food is very good, but it's the warmth and hospitality of the owner, Bud, that has impressed us most. We have lived and travelled in many places around the world but rarely have we experienced an owner with such a wonderful attitude and such a welcome. It feels like visiting a friend when we come to Heart and Soul....a place that embodies the name of the cafe and an owner who clearly knows what hospitality means.“

“Markouk is special! Clearly traditional, perfectly seasoned, priced conservatively and humbly presented, some of the best takeout available in Gloucester.“

“What can I say other than magical?! We were fortunate enough to host my son’s 11th birthday party in the back room (The kids loved the secret hidden entrance through the bookcase). Tons of great games for all ages and the food was fantastic! Literally everything we had was gourmet quality and up to my foodie 11 year-old’s standards. We will definitely be back if not just for the food!“

“Great homemade food, Great customer service!“

“Loved it! We are excited to go back!“

“We loved the uncommon beer selections and atmosphere! So much that we stopped in twice both night we were in town.“

“Oh my. We are from out of town. Immediately, we felt very welcome! The food was delicious. We have the 5 cheese dip, and burgers! It was all amazing. 2 people in our party got cake and it was so good. I ate more than I should have and am sooo full!“

“Great authentic Mexican food! Not your average Mexican restaurant“

“I’ve lived in Glosta close to 50 years and love a good pastry. Caffe Sicilia is my favorite place to go for a pick me up or a good craving. The cannolis IMHO are the best in town and I never discriminate when it comes to food.. Despite often being slammed with customers, the customer service is first rate. Want a good pastry? Think Caffe Sicilia it does not disappoint.“

“Canned cranberry sauce, wtf. No where does it say Cash only until you get the bill and look like a fool. I won't be back. No ADA ramp either.“

“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.“

“Was our first time here and won’t be the last. The mussels and fries were phenomenal! Lovely atmosphere, beautiful decor, and friendly and attentive waitstaff. A delightful dining experience thank you!“

“Amazing Food & Atmosphere Perfect fried pickles. Steak Frites was delicious as well.“

“Absolutely amazing food the Clam Chowder was great and i had the BLT crispy juicy bacon and a macaroni salad first started with a toasted blueberry muffin with hot coffee the staff was friendly and always available to serve with a smile. Classic 80’s rock playing subtly in the background. Everyone just getting along like family. Will definitely recommend to everyone !“

“Everything- from people to food to atmosphere - it’s the best!“
