“Dined here recently for the first time, what a hidden gem. Nice cozy atmosphere, Food was top notch, delicious, and huge portions. Waitress was excellent, very friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommend this place if you want real authentic Italian food. We will definitely be back.“

“As the inventor of the fried clam, this place destroyed almost all other places that sell fried clams.
The fried clams that I had here yesterday were the best that I ever had! The slaw was good too.
This place is huge and is able to handle large crowds.
There are two separate lines/counters for beverages vs food. There are free drink refills on the fountain drinks.
The staff here does a great job.
I am thankful that I learned of this place and was able to go here.
They offer ice cream, but it is seasonal.
I really do need to reassess my prior fried clam restaurant choices…
Thanks a lot“

We hadn’t been in a while and decided to go Wednesday night. We sat at the bar in the bartender Kim and told us about the happy hour appetizers. We Ordered the fried calamari, fried shrimp and fried scallops as appetizers and all three were delicious and half price.
Kim was very pleasant and remembered our names“

“I haven't been there for years and have been thinking about it so I finally ordered a Yankee Pot Roast. It was superb and I will definitely be back but I was disappointed they didn't include gravy for my double order of mashed. I will be specific next time. I gotta try the prime rib too, I never had a bad steak there.“

“The Deck in Salisbury MA is a great place to connect with friends. Good food, great service and incredible atmosphere!“

“It wasn't really busy the time that we went. And it seemed like we were always waiting for our server.  pork belly tacos were ok, nothing that I'd rave about. My friend did enjoy her salmon. We also ordered drinks, and the first beer that I ordered was flat, so I sent it back.“

“Not sure what the experience the other reviewers here had but we had an unbelievably amazing experience! The views were out of this world- nowhere else in Beverly can say the same. Our server Carolyn was absolutely amazing- she was so diligent with the allergies at our table and took the time to recommend things that would fit all of our needs. We will definitely be back and would always request her. Food was amazing, huge portions, flavorful, and came out so quickly! A must in the area! The only down-side was parking, but we figured it out!“

“I would recommend going here. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was fresh and presented beautifully on our plates. We had a table on the deck outside and it’s was a great view of the boats and the river/ocean. We had a great experience and you won’t be disappointed!“

“Just had three varieties of steak and cheese subs. Ordered large onion rings and french fries. These are extremely generous orders. We should have gotten a small order of each. All three subs very good. Fast delivery. 4 people eating 3 large subs and we have leftovers. Good taste. Good value. Can't get good steak and cheese like this in the Midwest!!“

“After having visited several less then satisfactory Chinese food restaurants, my mother and I decided to try the Eighty Eight. The food was delicious. We were very pleasantly surprised. We opted to eat in, which we both enjoyed. It's a great (very clean) place to spend a quiet meal with a friend or loved one. You can stay as long as you want, and the owners/staff were very nice.“

“We got take out and a lot of it. Everything was great. I was happy to get New England Chinese food as it just isn’t the same in Florida. I didn’t pick it up so I don’t know how the service was; although the family buys here all the time. We ate at home.“

“I had an absolutely amazing experience at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully set. The staff were incredibly friendly attentive.

Service was quick without feeling rushed, and the overall experience felt relaxed and enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can truly sit back and enjoy great food and great company.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!“
