Comfort Food Restaurants near Salem, MA

“The hamburger was the best I have ever had and beautiful place .“

“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.“

“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!“

“Mr. Petisco catered the welcome party for our wedding. Lais and her family answered all of our questions and gave us tons of options. They provided a great spread of food that came out delicious and were excellent finger foods for our guests. . Reasonably priced and delicious! (I'm still thinking about that cheesy bread)“

“I want to thank the staff here. Your food is absolutely fantastic. And you remembered me even though I had only been there once before. You went out of your way to accommodate me and my dog. I will definitely be back again. Chicken broccoli and ziti is one of the best i have ever had.“
