50 Best American Restaurants near Swampscott

“What a great night! We thought we were going to a fundraiser, but after checking the ticket it’s next month🤦🏼‍♀️ So since we were ready for a night out we ventured to Swampscott to check out G Bar! Reservations highly encouraged, but our timing worked out perfectly and we got two seats at the bar! Had a delicious meal starting with crispy shrimp with sriracha, lemon garlic aioli, cilantro then we shared a Caesar salad, lightly dressed and not too garlicky and had Wasabi tuna and NY Strip steak for our entrees! Yummo!! Patrons were so nice, as was all the staff! Andrew was a great bartender and seemed to know everyone there! Great vibe, great food! We’ll definitely be back! — eating dinner with my love with Joe Florentino at G Bar and Kitchen.“

“Great food accompanied by great service definitely be back!!“

“I had lunch with friends here yesterday and everything was great but I have to mention that our server, Russell, was hands done, one of the best servers I have ever had. He gave us plenty of time to catch up with each other with cocktails (about an hour!), He paid for a round of drinks because we wanted to order from the brunch menu but missed it because we talked for so long. He said it was his fault for not reminding us! Unheard of! He let us have a leisurely 3 hour lunch, with no pressure at all, and was very attentive when we needed him. He even sent over a delicious birthday dessert without even being asked! Russell is The Best!!“

“Swampscott's gem - Big Mac pizza is out of this world!“

Our server, Jackie, is the sweetest and so accommodating! Rebecca the House/Event manager was a doll! She was so considerate, helpful and detailed oriented in planning the event. She even had our company logo on the menu! The office will be talking about this one for a long time. Thanks ladies from all of us!“

“The food at the Shy Bird in Fenway was absolutely delicious, especially the Chicken Dunks with the homemade sauce dips they were all so good we couldn't choose a favorite and the butternut soup was absolutely incredible, with its little kick of spice and sunflower seeds! Our server was top-notch,very attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. We are looking forward to our visits this summer during the Red Sox games.“

“I come here anytime I come home to visit from Florida. Great service and great sandwiches.“

“After 3 days of lackluster customer service at car rentals, hotels and restaurants (the kind where you have to track down silverware and plates to consume the food that has been placed in front of you) our experience here deserved a fabulous review. From the time we were greeted, to being seated and on our way out the door late on a Monday night, the experience was marvelous! Our server, Nate made great recommendations and was enthusiastic about our order, unobtrusively kept the water glasses filled and had the delicate balance of checking on us mastered.The unexpected star of our meal was the roasted beet and faro salad, although the pretzel and poutine were not far behind. The food was so good we even forgot about the beautiful cocktails we were having. Although we arrived an hour before closing, we were never rushed. Two weary travelers were cared for, served fabulous cocktails and delicious food in a timely manner so that we could return to our room to get ready for a morning flight. Highly recommend this establishment.“

“Good great and very good service.“

“great spot to grab a beer waiting for train or bus. small plates available for food“

“It's small, with maybe 8 two tops and a counter. Not a lot of ambience, but nice dishware and clean wooden lines.
Service was attentive. There were only two or three parties there.
Food was interesting. I really enjoyed the scallops and the skate. I did not enjoy the dessert - a cornbread buckthorn berry thing.
Don't feel the need to go back, but I did enjoy my meal.“

“Excellent food and brilliant staff. Turned a bad experience of being stranded due to a cancelled flight into a much brighter evening.“

“WOW! I can’t thank David enough. When another location forgot to assemble our catering order for a large party, David immediately swept in and remedied the situation by preparing our order and getting it to us as quickly as possible! Huge shout out to the team at the Seaport location for helping us so quickly!“

“Good food, nice friendly environment. Big bar!“

“This restaurant has a cool sports bar vibe while also having an upscale dining atmosphere. We ordered mango chicken, mahi, and crab cake. They all taste fresh, tender, and juicy! The portions were big and the service was great. The only personal flavor preference is I wish the dishes could have less salt. Overall, a relaxing experience!“

“Fun night bowling, having hors d’oeuvres and Cocktails, the food was Devine. Inviting atmosphere, impeccable surroundings. Service with a smile. I recommend if you are ever in the area stop in and stay awhile. There is a full bar!! Entertainment: bowling and video games. Even if you decide to have cocktails at the bar, sit in the lounge with friends, catch up over drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Guaranteed to have a fabulous evening.“

“Good music and drinks lol“

“I did not eat but I gave the food five stars based off of my family's opinion. They all loved it. My wife and I only had drinks as we had just eaten. The place was easy to get into with no real wait, the drinks and service were also great. Stop in if youre hungry or just need a break. Easy 5*s.“

“Good service. Cool atmosphere.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“We love the staff at 9 Elm but we have to say we love the food more and we love the welcome we always get …thank you all“

“After my son's soccer game we decided we wanted to go some where new for lunch. We were so glad we did! The food was delicious and the service was great! It's a "tiny hole in the wall" kind of place, but the decor matches the vibe and it's definitely a hidden gem.“

“If you're near Causeway St and Medford St and even if you're not, make a beeline to this hidden gem in the basement of an office building.

I had time on my hands this morning and stumbled on this place. It's awesome.

The coffee is hot, and my breakfast, which was a Veggie Omelet, Home Fries, and a side of Crispy Bacon, definitely crushed it. The food was so fresh and piping hot that I could have sworn they had livestock and a mature garden at hand. (The mushrooms were canned, though).

I'm unsure of how long they've been here, but I know I'm coming back for lunching in the very near future.“

“Had burger, beet salad & wings, all was very good“

“Amazing Food & Atmosphere Perfect fried pickles. Steak Frites was delicious as well.“

“I'm originally from just outside New Orleans, LA. Came here with a friend and was all too curious that they had Jambalaya on the menu. I cannot stress this enough. Order the Jambalaya. It reminded me of home.“

“Crazy fast service! Delicious modern Mexican bowl with steak!

Came back and tried the classic Mexican chicken burrito. I love that they offer broccoli and fajita veggies. And the Gussa sweet and spicy sauce has an impressive kick. Love it!“

“Lydia is beautiful and amazing. Very attentive and professional. She's so great with all the customers even when it's a full house. Wow is all I can say. Highly recommend when she is here. The beers are always cold and they make great cocktails. Food is tasty and fresh. Pizza is a must.“

“Great place for a date night or for a family dinner! The food is amazing and the service is friendly with a smile!“

“los mariscos el mejor que e probado“

“I have nothing against Scores but a co worker and I went in for a quick dinner and it was the worst chicken Caesar salad I ever had. The chicken was over cooked on the outside and pink brownish on the inside. They also put anchovies on it making every bite fishy (you’re a sports bar u don’t need to get too fancy with a Caesar salad by putting anchovies). I will say it was good quality romaine lettuce.

Owner has responded kindly. The chicken thigh makes sense. Thank you.“

“This is one of the best restaurants in town. The entire staff is so friendly and all have the attitude of a humble servant. The owner and his wife personally helped serve us today. The food is unique, delicious and plentiful. Prices are also reasonable. Highly recommend. New Brothers in Danvers.“

“OMG Best breakfast ever. Got a western omelet and I must say was the best one one I've had in years. My daughter got the veggie omlet and is the first time I've ever seen her clean her plate! Will definitely go here from now on. No other restaraunt can will ever top this place. Good coffee, friendly people, great service, and great prices. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting the best! I'm not the only one that likes it there. There was only one empty table left. Wheelchair access, handicap parking nesr the front door that makes it an easy access for those needing it. Will definitely go back there. Hard to find anywhere with a breakfast this good.“
