An unexpected great meal. First time there with friends. Reserved a table online and was seated right away. My table ordered the salmon, I had the steak tips and someone had a salad with steak tips. The table was raving about the salmon, me, about the rest of us about the steak tips. Great service and amazing BBQ steak tips. Only when I was hunting for a draft beer, did the waitress tell us the are closing in a week and some of the draft beer was not available. The place was packed, a band playing and the food and service is outstanding. What a shame they can't make it work here.

The people here are jerks. I wouldn’t go here. Try anywhere else in Salem for sure. The food is trash and the service sucks.

If you are here for a day or live here and haven’t tried this place it’s worth it. Do it ✅, and here’s why
1- Restaurant was clean, neat and spacious. Didn’t feel like your all bunched together.
2- Bathrooms were clean. I think bathrooms give a good indication of what the kitchen probably looks like. 😱. In this case. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
3- Food & Drink Options. A LOT. We had 16 of us and they all had options of what we wanted from nachos to soup, to burgers and Fish. They had budget friendly to slightly fine dining dishes. My wife liked our food, but it didn’t WOW us which is why I gave it a 4/5. I felt like I wanted a little more flavor with my chicken sandwich and the amount of chicken to batter was very small.
4- The Staff. We had Bianca for our drinks, she was on point keeping our drinks filled. Allie, our waitress. She walked us all through the options, answered many questions and took our orders well. When food was ready, she brought it quickly. Adam the chef. Don’t meet him, but he did a good job with taste and presentation. Doug the Owner. He came out toward the end, introduced himself and made sure our experience was good. He was friendly.

Server wasnt very attentive. At end of meal I finally was able to flag her down for a water. The butternut squash & brussels side dish was little tiny chopped up pieces and tasted like it was sauted in rancid oil. Nachos were great. Salad wss good. Needed better dressing. Would try again once.

Food was delicious. I've been coming to salem for 4 year this is the only dining place I come. The nachos are to die for, I got the chicken on it. Superb. The derby burger as great, chicken and waffles and my other friend got the chicken mac and cheese with a side of fries.. we will be back next year..

Bouncer at the door took pleasure in treating tourists poorly. I stood there as I waited for my Uber and watched as he made sure anyone from out of town own was not having a good time. People waited in line for a long time in the cold and he would turn them away for no good reason, making fun of them as they walked away.

Stumbled on this place just wandering around Salem, and found THE BEST French dip I’ve ever had. If a place has French dip on the menu, I’m getting it, and I can’t think of a better one I’ve ever had. Wings were top notch but wife only gave me 2 of hers 😂. Waitress was very attentive despite it being the weekend before Halloween in downtown Salem.

Spacious spot with a lively clientele and the best bar fare in town. Was served reasonably quick even during lunch rush and checked in on frequently!
