50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Newbury

“A Mixed Bag of BBQ Bliss at Rusty Can with some seriously delicious food, but a few quirks keep it from being a perfect experience. I'd give it a solid 4 stars overall, primarily because the food is an undeniable 5-star affair. Let's start with the fantastic eats. We kicked things off with the chili and cheese tater tots, hush puppies, and smoked wings, all of which were a hit. For our main courses, we both ordered from the daily specials. My husband raved about his smoked turkey club sandwich, and my pork belly and mojo chicken tacos were absolutely incredible. Seriously, no complaints whatsoever about the quality or flavor of the food – it's top-notch BBQ! However, the experience was slightly let down by the service, which I'd rate 3 stars, and a particularly frustrating issue with the drink offerings. Our waitress was prompt in taking our initial drink order and kept our glasses topped off, but she did so silently, never checking in to see if we were ready to order our food. We actually waited a full 30 minutes before we could place our food order, which felt excessive. My biggest gripe, though, is with the drink selection, especially the water. The menu lists sparkling water, and we even saw a box of Saratoga sparkling water on display. Yet, when we tried to order it, our waitress informed us it was "just for the owner." When I inquired about the menu's sparkling water, she clarified it was just "soda water from the fountain." And the only bottled water available was Dasani – double yuck for those who prefer something else! It felt really off that the higher-quality option was displayed but reserved exclusively for the owner. For someone who doesn't drink soda or beer, this is a surprisingly big deal. They don't even offer juice for kids, which seems like an oversight. While the food at Rusty Can is truly exceptional and makes it worth a visit, I might hesitate to return unless they significantly improve their water options. It seems like a minor detail, but for many, it makes a big difference.“

“We ate at Bob Lobster twice in 3 days and the food was Amazing! I could’ve eaten the steamers by myself. The scallops and whole belly clams had a nice crunch to them. Not greasy like we’ve had at other places. The steamed lobster was Perfect and the Lobster roll was to die for! The lobster / corn chowder is a must! We will definitely be back!!!“

“From the moment we started the wedding booking process with Grove at Briar Barn Inn, we knew we were in excellent hands. The wedding planning staff was incredibly responsive, professional, and thorough—every question we had, big or small, was answered with care and detail. Especially our event coordinator, Jordan Morrissey, who made the entire experience feel personal and seamless.

Throughout the planning process, the Events Team provided us with so many helpful tools and resources that made organizing everything so much easier. From timelines and checklists to vendor recommendations, we felt completely supported and empowered to plan our dream wedding.

The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Jordan was outstanding—calm, attentive, and reassuring. She handled every detail behind the scenes, which allowed us to fully enjoy the day without a single worry. Her presence brought a wonderful sense of peace and joy to the entire experience.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-run everything was. We received so many compliments about the gorgeous venue, the flawless execution, the warm atmosphere, and the AMAZING food. Many people told us it was one of the most memorable weddings they’ve ever attended.

We are endlessly grateful to Jordan and the entire team at Grove at Briar Barn Inn for making our wedding day so magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!“

“Fantastic Italian restaurant!
I'm not sure if this is a family-owned Italian restaurant but it's the same nice lady every time we go there. Greeting you and seating your.
The service is friendly and they seem to know everyone that comes through the door. The food is fantastic and there's something for almost everyone.
My only complaint would be that the dining room gets very noisy and it's hard to talk, but what do you expect when you're an Italian restaurant and everyone is having a great time.“

“Always excellent! Have been coming for 10+ years !“

“Went yesterday for the 1st time & WOW!! Best fried clams & scallops I have ever had!! I have to say they were "sweet" and out of this world! Friendly place & Mary was a great server!!“

“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!!“

“Food was delicious!“

“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“

“awesome sandwiches and subs. Great seafood. they always hook it up. Nikos over 110 all day“

“Good food, good iced tea, friendly service. Wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be. Excellent location.“

“Best fried scallops and fried clams! Awesome staff!“

“My wife and I love Indian food. The Jewel in the Crown may soon become our favorite. We must try other menu items. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Great homemade food, Great customer service!“

“it's absolutely a great country restaurant with delicious food and a friendly staff. I've been coming here now for many years! I give it an A+“

“Called in to pick up 2 lg Italian subs. Was handed the bag which appeared short. I confirmed there were 2 lg Italians, she confirmed. Was $27.10! Got home to two subs that appeared to be made in subrolls bought at Market Basket and there was almost no meat! All lettuce as a filler... Took a picture. Not sure if I can upload. Never again. That's why Your Place and Ours in Groveland went out of business.“

“Went there for lunch today & on the recommendation of a friend,. my husband & I both ordered the liver & onions. It was one of the best we've ever had. Liver was so tender you could cut it with your fork. We will definitely be going there more often.“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“I ordered Miso Noodles!!! It was very good, it has roast pork and mushrooms, I asked for it spicy, I have never tried that combination and it was GOOD!!! Everything is very delicious, I ordered grape soda and it also did not disappoint me, I had an addiction to continue drinking, I honestly consider myself to have a good palate when trying the food dishes, that is, I am difficult to please a meal, however this restaurant is small but Everything is very clean and the service is excellent, it explains each dish and I loved it, 100% recommended!!!“

“Ipswich Ale Brewery in Ipswich, MA for a flight+ & a pint of some delicious New England suds. This was my first trip here so I was like a kid in a candy store except there was no candy, just a bunch of craft beer. I hadn't tried anything from these guys either, but saw they were only 45min from where I moved recently so I figured I'd make the trip. I had no idea that they had been in operation since 1991, making them the Massachusetts North Shores oldest brewery. They have a bunch of different styles, with ales seemingly being the main focus, but I figured I would try as many as I could. This job is hard, but somebody has to do it. 🍻🍻🔥💪☘

The first taster in my flight of four was the AMERICAN LAGER that I personally thought was excellent & a above average lager for sure. My second 4oz taster was the IPSWICH PILSNER that was another good light offering from these guys. Definitely off to a good start beer wise here so far. The third taster was the BLUEBERRY SHANDY that was just okay, but I'm not big into shandy's or radler's, I may just need to find the right one. The last 4oz I scooped was the CRANBERRY BERET Fruited Sour which was a average sour, I enjoyed it more than the shandy though. I then grabbed a pint of the flagship IPA simply named IPA, a above average delicious offering as far as American IPAs go. I finished off my visit with another 4oz taster of the HELLBOUND Barleywine, a yummy barleywine packed with tons of flavor & notes raisins & caramel. 🍻🍺🔥☘☘

I got a cheeseburger for lunch with tots (one of my many weaknesses) as a side to soak up the beer. The burger was good, but nothing crazy that I would go out of my way for again if I returned to the area. All the usual seating options with a big bar, hightops, tables & patio. The bartender was super friendly & sociable letting us know what was most popular beers were & the beers he personally liked himself. Plenty of beer to go as well for home or tastings with friends. Well worth checking out if you're in the area, they have a style of beer for everyone. 🍻🍻🔥☘✌♥️🍺

BEERGASM RATING - 69/90 🍻🍻🍻🔥🔥🔥🍆🍆🍆💦💦💦🏆☘✌♥️🍺

“Love Grace and Mike! It's so nice to go into a restaurant and be appreciated!! Have my wine, Kendall Jackson,and love their salads!“

“I stop here whenever I can. The bagels are fresh and delicious and affordable. With everything so expensive these days, it's so nice to find somewhere to get a coffee and delicious breakfast for an affordable price. They have a great selection of cream cheeses as well!“

“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.“

“Everything we had was amazing. Steamers, onion rings, garlic bread, grilled swordfish, fish and chips, and haddock sandwich all great. The only "complaint" would be that the fries are just ok. Definitely would recommend and definitely would eat there again.“

“The best breakfast I’ve had in a long time hands down. highly recommended. Waitress was awesome prices well affordable. a nice diner. One of the last ones left around. will definitely be going back. Lunch is next.“

“An amazing authentic “small town sports bar/restaurant”. Non pretentious service great food, great prices, a lot of regulars and locals.

We went with the straightforward bacon cheeseburger and fries and potato skins and some drinks. Everything was delicious and fresh.“

“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.“

“There haddock is the best. No one can beat their onion rings!! I have been coming to Ceals since I was a kid. The quality is outstanding.“

“Crispy tomato appetizer has to be my favorite dish by far. Servers are awesome and drinks are great!“

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

“great food and service, plenty of packing“

“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+.“

“Went here for our 5th anniversary last week and we loved it! Our server was so friendly and recommended the clams which were a special for the day and the seafood pie and both were phenomenal.

For the price, (which was a little more) it was REALLY quality! We're from California and the prices would have been the same but the amount of seafood would have been much much less! The seafood pie was packed full of various kinds of seafood and had some really nice pieces of lobster including two lobster claws!

I've been craving some good fried seafood so I got a mix of shrimp and fish with the onion rings and fries. Let the picture speak for itself! Delicious and exactly what I was craving!

Definitely recommend you give it a try but be ready for a little wait for a seat if you don't call ahead for a reservation!“

“My family and I have been going to IHOP for years now without a single mess-up. Today, they accidentally messed up my order, and I called back asking if they could do anything about it. They immediately remade my meal for me and had a driver send it out. THIS IS HOW ALL BUSINESS SHOULD BE! I will be coming here even more because of my experience today. Great Staff! Amazing food!“

“Today for lunch we ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, the Asian chicken tenders and the spinach artichoke dip. All of it delicious. We love the atmosphere at Slyvan Street, the waitresses are always wonderful and the service is 100%.“

“Everything! Great staff! Great desserts! Great deals!“

“My hat's off to the wait staff there. While my wife and I were trying to leave there today there was a tremendous rain downpour. A couple of young staff scrambled to find an umbrella. One of the help came over to us as we stood just outside the entry door and handed us the umbrella and said that someone left it behind probably months ago and asked us to take it. This is just a sample of the attentiveness of the staff at Angie's. We always have a great dining experience there.“

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

“Love this cozy little place. Awesome food, great prices and wonderful waitstaff.“

“Popped in after a hot day at the beach…. Food was AMAZING for the price, atmosphere was clean and fun, service was very friendly and efficient. We tried the burgers, chicken tenders, fries, and shakes … everything hit the spot, tasted great, and filled us up!!“

“Great food, always reliable service. Great delivery service“

“We were greeted quite well, and the service was excellent. And when the food came out it was beyond compare. A great place to have an excellent menu and Thai food. A five star in my book.“

“Just the best. I don’t want to insult him by calling him old or small, but him working the oven at 9:45 on a Tuesday, I don’t have enough respect to give. When you pick up your food he’s humble and kind. Makes me proud, there’s a right way in America, and that’s it.“

“Love this place! Always a great time!“
