“We booked a ride on the new second Tiki Boat - and we were a little nervous at first, thinking we might miss out on the full experience since it was their second, newer boat without the cute little doggies on board. But those worries were quickly squashed — we had an amazing time! The crew was fantastic — super friendly, fun, I learned a lot about sailing from the captain- and they made sure we were having a great time. The atmosphere was perfect, and honestly, it ended up being our favorite experience in Salem! Everyone we met was so nice, and we had an absolute blast. Highly recommend! The 7pm launch was spectacular as well, the sunsets and views were so beautiful! If you can’t book on the original tiki boat- because it does fill up fast - do not hesitate booking on their second vessel. It was truly amazing!”
“Kokeshi is in residency with Bambolina (a wood-fired pizza joint, also delicious) and it's perfect! My husband and I (and our puppy, Dexter) stopped in for lunch on Wednesday and were treated to a wonderful meal with an awesome server and comfortable outdoor seating. I had the Spicy White Kimchi Ramen and my husband had the Margherita pizza. Both were amazing! I highly recommend stopping in when in Salem!”

Jeff's assistance during this busy season was invaluable, and we look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future. We highly recommend Turner Seafood, especially for large orders. Thank you once again. Best regards, Team Insideout Health and Wellness”
“Love the vibe of Notch, and of course, the BEER! The owner and staff are great, attentive, and always there with a smile. Yoy got to try the pretzel and look for special events like the monthly meat raffle! I appreciate their policy of 21+ at night, kids are great, but sometimes not all the time! Speaking of kids, I especially appreciate the staff encouraging parents to be attentive to their kids during earlier hours so they aren't running around unregulated. Kids need to behave in public places like this!”
“Went to On the Grind this morning after seeing a post about them having a coconut bagel. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and know each of their regular customers. I watched them greet many and knew exactly what they were going to order or already had a preorder waiting. I ordered the coconut bagels for my son and I. One with regular cream cheese and one with pineapple cream cheese and they did not disappoint!!! The coconut bagel with pineapple was delicious and not overly sweet and lots of toasted coconut. Highly recommend trying this little hidden gem!”
“Will always recommend Lil Devils. We order delivery via DoorDash and their chicken finger plates w fries and cheese pizzas are our favorites. We were pleasantly surprised at how GREAT their pizza is. Some of the best in the area. Chicken fingers are sooo good w the spicy sweet Thai sauce for dipping. Go get yourself an order or two!”
“We went for dinner at 10 pm after an 8 pm witch tour!! Was outstanding !! Food was delicious, our waitress Andrea was so kind and hospitable, she didn’t rush us and was very attentive ! Honestly the best hibachi I’ve had! DELICIOUS”
“Great selection, service, and location..
We enjoyed our OC Hefe - really good!
With beverage, tax & 20% tip it was $22.55 for to draft pints ~ that eliminated over indulging!”
“We came here to celebrate our anniversary and were met with exceptional service from start to finish. From the warm welcome by the host to the attentiveness of our server—and every friendly staff member in between—everyone made us feel special. The food was outstanding; we highly recommend the stuffed lobster! We can't wait to come back.”

“Absolutely incredible food and great chefs! There were 9 of us that all ordered different things and we all raved and wanted to share with each other, but our portions were all so filling. Wish we weren’t traveling because I’d want this place in my neighborhood!”

“some of the more creative and better pizzas in the area. a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps and subs, plus salads and dinners (pasta or rice). what's not to like? love the melanzane and the shrimp scampi pizzas, but other combinations are good too (plus MYO, of course).”
“Finz was hopping for a Monday night, and the noise level was high. The wait staff was friendly and service was top notch. They work hard to please and it was greatly appreciated by our group of 5. We tried the Street Corn appetizer (delicious) along with the warm sourdough bread and butter. Three people ordered Finz lobster sushi (they were delighted with it), another ordered New England seafood stew and swapped quinoa for linguine and fra diavolo to spice it up. He loved it! I had the swordfish with lemon herb vinaigrette and mixed vegetables and red bliss potatoes. The swordfish was delicious and super fresh. The drinks were well mixed and potent. Very pretty presentation. Finz is always good, and the only complaint I have heard about the food is the paella dish. The people who ordered it in my presence all disliked it and two of them agreed that it tasted like old bandaids. Upon further discussion they thought it may be the chorizo sausage.”
“First time to Salem. Picked this bar out of the blue. I had an amazing Bartender ( Heather ) Absolutely amazing. Maybe my time there amazing. Next time I get a chance to visit I hope I get the same bartender. Food was good, the recommendation on the beer was awesome. I came all the way up from North Carolina. Never let Heather go! She is. An amazing, awesome , sweet bartender. I hope to make it back one day soon. I hope to get Heather for my bartender. Amazing person!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Antique Table. The food is amazing, and service is fabulous. Great atmosphere both indoors and outdoors, and tons of food & beverage options. There are so many dining choices in Salem, and we return here time after time. Classic Italian with some interesting additions mixed in, like the Chicken Miguel. The eggplant rollatini is the best I’ve ever had. Large portions and reasonable pricing. Generous pours on cocktails. Even in October, when the city is incredibly busy, the food and service remain top notch.”
“this bar with the arcade is cool. I like the vintage games a lot. however, these bartenders suck. they don't know how to serve multiple people at a time. there's two events going on tonight so busy. I waited about five to ten minutes for literally just a today refill. and yes two people walked past as I flagged them down.”

“Mia our was not only our cashier but she also took our order. She was kind and had a great smile. We thank God for her which is a reminder that each person can make such a difference. The best example is Jesus who demonstrated God’s love when he came to earth to die for your and my sins in the cross and by believing in him you would not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16”
“We love this place. Can always count on tasty food and quick and service from the staff. Special thanks to Austin and Yumira who served us with a smile. Our grandson loves the double cheeseburger, fries and mango frap. Thanks for the great year all of you at McDonald’s we wish you all a great and blessed Christmas for God has blessed you and us in His love by sending His Son Jesus to die for your and our sins in the cross! John 3:16”
“I want to hear with a big group of friends after work. I think we had 12 at our table and our server was so accommodating with making sure that we had enough seats, menus, and utensils. She also knew the menu so well and was able to recommend something for me to eat because everything looked so good.
I ordered they're spicy margarita which was just spicy enough. I think I ordered a cheeseburger too and it was good, but I wish I got seafood. Someone at the table ordered musseles and they were amazing, so good that I had to make some for myself that weekend. I also got to try the corn ribs and those are a lot of fun to eat. One of my favorite things was their style of french fries because they are puffy and crispy.”
“Amazing service! Great food and drinks! Antonio was AMAAAZZZING!!! He’s the best server ever!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Do not miss this spot if you are visiting Salem. We had treats from our Air B&B which caused us to go in person. Everything was lovely, delicious and fresh. Customer service was fantastic. We had croissants, a bagel sandwich, fresh bread, the most amazing cookies and, my favorite, the spinach and leek puff with everything seasoning. The coffee was great too. Thanks so much!”
“I visited Wolf Next Door Coffee for an iced tea and muffin before touring House of the Seven Gables and I'm so glad I did! The staff was so incredibly friendly, the food and drink was delicious, the cafe was whimsical and dreamy, and it is so, SO obvious how much they care about their community. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Salem!”
“Food was prompt, delicious, and most importantly not hard on the bank! The wait staff are friendly and it’s my partner’s and I’s favorite food place in Shelby! I get the wings or Alfredo and he gets their meat calzone or Stuffed shells! (I recommend trying both✨)”

“I love this place! highly recommended. Impressed with the food and drinks, the atmosphere and also the staff. Kelly B was our waitress, she was awesome, our first time there, she had a great attitude and always checking in with us! thank you for the great service! we'll definitely be back!!!!!!😊”
“What a gem for the town of Swampscott. Stopped in today, finally! Coffees, specialty drinks, breakfast sandwiches, açaí bowels, protein balls, SO HARD TO CHOOSE! So we got a little of everything, and we were NOT disappointed. Thank you Sweet Java for a great morning.”
“Their coffee absolutely lives up to the hype. In fact, I thought it surpassed it. I also had the Adobo Chicken sandwich, and holy hell, let me tell you... It’s stacked with tender, seasoned chicken, creamy black bean spread, melted cheese, buttery slices of avocado, and a bold adobo aioli that ties it all together with a smoky, tangy kick. Every bite hits you with warmth, richness, and just enough spice to make you pause and appreciate what sandwich greatness tastes like. The owner is welcoming, friendly, and makes great recommendations. They found a new regular.”
“Anytime we are traveling North we have to make a stop here. I LOVE their themed ciders we came in October specifically for their Pocus flight and this past July for their Shark flight to celebrate shark week. We never leave without taking home a pack or two. It is kind of hard to find parking but we make it work. There is no food here but sometimes they have food trucks or you can bring your own food and eat it at the patio.”
“I've been eager to try this bakery since it took over! I'm so glad i did! We initially went in to get one thing each, and both of us left with a whole lot more than we intended to buy! The pastelitos were so amazingly fresh and delicious, and he made my Mango smoothie with a whole fresh mango! The flan was out of this world, and my friends Caramel Cake tasted like heaven! Even the french fries we got were fantastic! The gentleman who helped us (I'm guessing it was one of the owners) was so incredibly friendly, he definitely made two more local customers! We can't wait to try slices of his other cakes,as well as the other items listed on his menu! Great amount of food for the price as well! All around, a great guy, a great business!”

“Delicious food, nice outdoor ambiance and lovely staff! Belgium waffle with whipped cream and berries, lumberjack breakfast, crispy bacon, scrumptious lattes (we got the coconut cream latte) all perfect. The patio is dog friendly and the staff are welcoming, affirming and friendly! Will come back!”
“One of my favorite parts of my entire Salem trip! The drinks are so perfectly named, the atmosphere was amazing, and the bartender was fantastic. Perfect end to my night!”
“Very delicious! Burgers cooked to exactly how you like it, and the s'more milkshake was STELLAR!! Would definitely go here next time I'm on vacation here <3”

Cheap Eats
“This place is such a treat. We stopped in on a whim after much deliberation about what to eat in Salem, and we’re so happy we did. The owner, Ray, acquired Adea’s a few years back and the addition of Jamaican menu items to the mediterranean offerings really is the highlight, in my opinion. My boyfriend got the Jerk Chicken plate and I got Escoveitch fish. Both dishes were incredible, and you can obviously tell the passion and appreciation Chef Ray has for his food. It was all so good: Crispy fish skin, peas and rice, and delicious house-made jerk sauce that blew us away. Places like this are few and far between, so do yourself a favor and sit down in this place!”
“Got a roast beef sub from Bill & Bobs in Woburn a couple days ago, and it was absolutely delightful! I ordered it three-way (American cheese, BBQ sauce, mayo); the meat was juicy and VERY tender, for an ok price! I will certainly be doing business with them again! I give it an 8.5/10 😋”
“Very reasonably priced museum cafe! The tables are in the airy, beautiful atrium. The quiche portion was small, but the sandwiches and falafel wrap were tasty and a good value. (Photos include a Turkey BLT with no veggies, falafel wrap, and quiche). They have lots of drink choices as well.”
“We had a baby shower this weekend catered by Root. They did an amazing job. The food was incredible !!! Rave reviews from all ! Thank you !”
“The prime rib is one of the best around! Every time we go the food and drinks and above expectations. Also, wanted to give a shout out to Brooke. She's taken care of use many times and has always been excellent!”
“We had lunch here while visiting Salem and the food was exceptional! Everything was delicious and then there were desserts😊 Best compliment I can give is I wish I lived here!!”
“The wicked nachos (with chicken) appetizer was amazing. We also enjoyed our entrees, the 1925 burger and Hawthorne’s penne pasta. Great atmosphere. Wonderful service.”
“Really good local seafood.
The spicy crab cake was delicious, as was the New England Clam Chowder, the Fried Calamari, and Mussels cooked with wine & herbs.
The Lobster Shanty serves beer, ciders, and alcohol from local taprooms & distilleries like Notch, Downeast, Far From the Tree, and Deacon Giles.”

“Came during a ladies trip in August. On our first day, we stopped by for lunch and drinks. The food was fresh and tasty. The drinks were cold and were made perfectly by the bartender. (espresso martinis were 💯) The next morning we tried their breakfast and it also did not disappoint. We sat outside both days, but the inside is beautiful and has murals on the walls. Staff were attentive and polite, I Highly recommend!”
