50 Best American Restaurants near Rowley

“An excellent Massachusetts wedding venue! I'm a wedding photographer and had the pleasure of photographing one of my couple's weddings at Grove. I love it so much that I had to write a venue guide about it on my website.

Everything was great, from visiting one partner in Briar Barn Inn (where they were getting ready) right up until the dance party portion of the reception.

The staff were very kind (to the couple and to the vendors) and everything ran smoothly. I was particularly impressed by how they handled plan changes: this wedding took place during the first storm of the season, so I just had to get the couple outside for some snow pictures. This was no problem though, which was great.

I highly recommend Grove at Briar Barn Inn for your wedding. This cozy venue will take care of you on your big day!“

Our server, Joey was excellent, very attentive, polite and recommended desert. The prices are affordable and the atmosphere was energetic. Check them out- you’ll be glad you did.“

“We've always had a good experience with 15 Walnut. It is popular, so be sure to get reservations, especially on Friday nights. The three of us had 3 different meals, and all were good. The waitress, Rebecca, was friendly and helpful. My pulled pork sandwich was excellent - warm, with an excellent BBQ sauce, and very tasty. The bill was moderate - less than what we've seen at similar restaurants. We'll return.“

“The Winner's Circle helped my family have a successful, responsibly priced event. I found there web page very helpful. I quickly figured out that I could have a function there with lots of flexibility. I spoke with Jeff about my needs and he made it easy and was accommodating.
On the day of the event, a Celebration of Life for my Dad, we arrived early to drop off some items. From this point through to the end Jeff and his staff were awesome. Any time they saw me, they checked in to make sure I had what I needed.
I highly recommend The Winner's Circle. It a local business that deserves attention.“

“great food and friendly owner and bartender's a fun place!“

“So good! You can tell they put love into everything the make ❤️“

“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.“

“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+.“

“I came in last night (Monday) for dinner with my husband. We met the nicest bartender, Leslie. She was very friendly and gave us great food suggestions, boy she was right, the chicken pie and burger were delicious. I can see why everyone comes in here not only for the food but also for Leslie. We will definitely back, Thank you Leslie for the great service and the laughs“

“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%.“

“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!!“

“Delicious breakfast! Everything cooked perfectly!“

“Went there a couple days while I was at my friends place in Methuen while I was staying long distance from my home in Brockton. Amazing food, kind people, and great atmosphere. Great drink selection too I made some friends there too. Definitely gonna come back next time I’m in town. They make the best burgers in the entire state of Massachusetts“
