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.“

“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!“

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

“Asia Mei is easily one of the best Chefs in Boston. I've eaten here several times, but I can't believe that I haven't written a review before now! My husband and I had brunch at moonshine 152 last weekend and told friends about it. Next thing you know, the four of us were in there around noon time today having brunch again. We shared three starters, alongside sharing all four entrées and everything, I mean everything was to die for! Ms Asia herself delivered some of our plates and she is just as delightful as she is talented. Needless to say, dinner is amazing here as well. The vibe in the restaurant is so easy and you can tell that the staff get along very well together. What I can't believe is how this place wasn't fully packed today or last weekend even. Definitely a good amount of patrons, but I've had brunch at places that are hard to get into and left much less satisfied.“

“Lovely spot with spectacular views of the water. Beautifully designed interior. Delicious, creative food. Great service.“

“Love the homey atmosphere! You can tell everything is homemade with love patty melt on rye was delicious as was the hash skillet and eggs over hash. The seasonal pumpkin pancake was also great 10/10 would recommend and come again. Street parking only so keep your eyes peeled for a spot.“

“First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.“

“If you want a family atmosphere and to feel at home, eat here. They were incredibly kind and generous to our young family. They loved our kids and made their morning so special. We went home smiling and wishing we never left that atmosphere. Thank you so much!“

“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 hosted our office event at Double Bull last night, with Musical Bingo in the Avalon room. It was absolutely fantastic! From the service to the food to the drinks! 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!“

“I have been a Seaport resident since 2018 and I have never received the level of customer service, attention to detail and overall care that I received from Scott at DIG. My food was promptly provided and the level of taste and satisfaction is unmatched. No other Heathy restaurants in the Seaport area can hold a match to DOG food and service. I am not impressed easily as I have never ever written a Seaport review but I would being doing DIG an injustice by NOT giving credit where credit is due. DIG employee Scott is a great assets to DIG for it is his professionalism that will bring me back with friends! Thank you for a great Wednesday lunch...see you soon.“

“Lovvvved it! Water views make all the difference! Food & drinks GREAT.. but our server Alexa… Was EVERYTHING!“

“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.“

“The food and drink were awesome, restaurant was clean and organized, service was fast and great, and Marcy is the best!“

“Excellent service from our server, McKayla, and the manager, Angelie was very accommodating! The food is absolutely delightful! The crispy chicken sandwich, the Chicken Madeira, the sticky toffee bread pudding and the mile high mocha pie are all incredible, and nothing like anything you'd have had before! Definitely worth a visit!“

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

“Great food and great service!“

“The food was beyond delicious—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions were generous. I highly recommend trying their pupusas, carne asada, and tamales—everything we ordered was a hit!

The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and friendly. They made sure we felt at home from the moment we walked in. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do.

If you’re looking for great Central American food in Lynn with top-notch hospitality, El Gran Jaguar is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Sit at the counter and enjoy the best food in BOSTON and a show! This local chef is whipping up creative dishes in an immaculate kitchen that runs like a well oiled machine but with a laid back cool chill vibe. Hey Michelin this place should 100% be on your Bib Gourmand list!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious dinner!! Highly recommend Maitland Farm Kitchen and grateful for the gluten free options available!! This was truly one of the best meals out we've had in Salem.“

“Angie was great! We definitely recommend this place. Food was amazing and the mimosas were great!!!“

“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 service. Cool atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“We tried breakfast and lunch at this conveniently located hotel restaurant. They offer a buffet option, but we opted for regular entrees. One day, we had eggs benedict, and the next day, we had eggs and hash. The juice was pricey at $6, but tea was free—just hot water with the tea bags on the table. Coffee was $5. The service was good, but paying the check took a while. You have to give it back to your waiter, not just head to the front to pay. The restaurant is spacious and bright. Sharon provided good service and is also able to speak Chinese.“

“The staff were friendly, fast, and made sure everything was just right. Whether you're into burritos or bowls, they’ve got you covered. It’s a perfect spot for a quick, satisfying meal without compromising on quality. Highly recommend!“

“The perfect neighborhood spot. All the food tastes fresh and prepared well. Bartender was operating a drone at the bar and hit me in the eye, blinding me permanently. Other than that great experience can’t wait to come with friends and family“

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

“Unbelievable great food. I love this place!!! Shrimp Pizza is the best!!!!“

“My wife and I have not had much luck with dining out lately so when it came to picking a restaurant for our anniversary dinner I was nervous that I would find the right place. I came across Nine Elm and read the reviews. They were amazing. So we made a reservation but I was still cautiously optimistic. Things could not have gone better! We arrived and where we were seated was noising, not what we wanted for an anniversary dinner. When I asked the waitress if there was a quieter spot she went to speak to the manager in we were moved immediately. The general atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the staff is very friendly but professional. The wine was lovely and the food delicious. We ordered the duck and the swordfish special and they were both cooked to perfection. For dessert we split a Creme Brule. The custard was light and creamy a pleasant surprise. We had an amazing time. We will be back!“

“It was amazing, 5 star rating for the food and the service. Looking forward to coming back again soon!“
