The owners were great with instructions and I loved the self check-in where we got in around 8pm. Walking distance to downtown Ipswich and close to Shaw’s. The commuter rail to Salem and Boston was just a 10-15 minute walk from the Inn. We’ll definitely be staying again!“

Ask for Janelle, she is absolutely incredible, attentive, and one of the most dynamic coolest people you'll ever meet!! Oh, and they have pool tables so that's a plus! Nachos are bomb too, makes it my favorite place, just didn't wish I live so far, but well worth the trip! 10 out of 10 highly recommended“

“Had driven by this place many times. My mother went for lunch with some friends and raved about it, so we thought we'd give it a try. We went with some friends and the wait was longer than we normally would wait, but we had no where to be and a sitter until 11. We had Tresa as a waitress and apps, food and drinks were all great.“

“OMG Best breakfast ever. Got a western omelet and I must say was the best one one I've had in years. My daughter got the veggie omlet and is the first time I've ever seen her clean her plate! Will definitely go here from now on. No other restaraunt can will ever top this place. Good coffee, friendly people, great service, and great prices. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting the best! I'm not the only one that likes it there. There was only one empty table left. Wheelchair access, handicap parking nesr the front door that makes it an easy access for those needing it. Will definitely go back there. Hard to find anywhere with a breakfast this good.“

It would be interesting to have a full entree as our selections were pretty good. I didn’t like sitting at a table so close to another table but there were other options.“

He was so awesome that I asked his name so that I can thank him for such a warm welcome. He was so helpful and asked if there is something that he can help me with to make my visit more enjoyable. Such a positive attitude that I will be returning back tonight.“

“Fun atmosphere. Good service and food“

“First of all this place is inside of a Plaza. I didn't know that before I got there but I do now. They have a very nice bar that seems to be pretty long accommodate plenty of guests. There is also lots of seating inside. I had the clam chowder and a pulled pork sandwich. The clam chowder was excellent. One of the better ones in the area for sure. Seemed to me like it was possibly homemade. The pulled pork sandwich was big and stuffed. I'll eat it twice. The fries that came with this were cooked to perfection. And they were good hand shaved fries. Are the people that my table had steak, Burger, chicken, and everything was delicious. This is a good place to take a client for an afternoon meal. It's also away from a lot of the hustle and bustle of Danvers. Just a good place to go and a good overall experience.“

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

“Excellent dinner choice. We had a rib eye, a salmon, a haddock, and a scallop dinner. Everything was excellent, cannot wait to go back. 2 people in our party had birthdays, and and we're given $10 gift cards they could use toward dessert or use at a later date. Highly recommend!“

“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!😍“

“Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff, great food , reasonable prices, good drinks. 🍹 We love it there.“

“I'm here nearly every day before work and the food, drinks, and staff are all equally exceptional. The only coffee shop that's batting 1000 on a perfect drink every time.“

“The food is fresh and deliciously prepared. There are a lot of “diners” in the north shore with good reviews, and the food usually tastes heavy, overly salted, and sometimes out of a can. Despite all of the other good reviews, I expected that from this place as well, partially because of the unassuming storefront in a plaza off rte 1. I was very pleasantly surprised! So many freshly baked breakfast goods, and the egg dishes we ordered were great. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will be back!“

“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.“

“Great homemade food, Great customer service!“

“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.“

“excellent restaurant and bar!…. nice people my issue is the fact when I was leaving this evening I was absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes… is it just me?� I never in my life been swarmed like that“
