(Don’t forget a Jim bean rocks with 1 good cherry 14 dollars) and about 1 1/2 fingers of amaretto straight)for 11 dollars) You’re better off spending your money somewhere else.. honestly. I’m a chef and understand rising costs however this is crazy however the service was pretty solid.“

“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!“

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

“Easily some of the best food north of Boston! The best way to describe it is as elevated Latin-inspired comfort food. The head chef and owner, Elvis, is amazing! He always makes a point of spending time with all of his customers, sharing stories about his incredible food and making sure everyone feels welcome. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for good food, good vibes, and good company!“

“A very pleasant choice for simple breakfast. Family run diner with lots of charm and personality. We had the pancakes and the Korean bbq Benedict. I wouldn’t have thought bulgolgi beef would go well with hollandaise - but I was wrong. Not fancy, but plenty friendly and worth the visit for breakfast!“

“I love the Wild Garlic. The food is fantastic. Fast and great service along with a wonderful atmosphere. I can’t wait to see what is on the menu day to day. The owner and staff are the best. This is Amesbury must try and see for yourself. Highly recommend.“
