22 Best Seafood Restaurants near Salem

“Horrible food, horrible wait time, a more descriptive review on Google. Left hungry and went to Arby's and had much better food. I give this restaurant a negative ten. It made me give at least one star.“

“Garcia’s never disappoints! As West Salem’s restaurant selection continues to expand, Garcia’s remains busy because of their interesting selections and friendly staff. We hope 2026 is another good year for them.“

“Mama Maria's is now our favorite Salem Restaurant. We were gone from this area for over 22 years and recently moved back here after retiring. I have tried a lot of Italian Restaurants, but none of them match up to this one (except maybe one in NY). Since we re-found this, we have returned at least once per week since our return. Everything is freshly made and delicious. The red sauce (or gravy) is the real thing. The flavor is perfect. It is not spaghetti and meatballs. Portions are large enough to share, salads are fresh, bread comes prior to meal with 3 dipping oils which require finishing, (bread is homemade and melts in your mouth). Senior meals for people old like me are perfect size and generous, they come with choice of side salad or soup. If you happen to be there on crab bisque day...do not miss it!!! Atmosphere is clean and not crowded, Service is efficient and friendly, and it is a great value for your money!“

“We had the BEST celebration with our daughter’s Roanoke College friends last night! Tracy was an experienced and knowledgeable and patient server. The food was “off the charts” quality… the appetizers, salads, steaks, desserts, drinks…. Every bit was TOP SHELF!!! Thank you for an experience we won’t forget!!!“

“KENDRA did an amazing job with my order. I called in advance for a Door Dash order. I was spending $50 for my food. She assured me that the food would be fresh and it was 100%. She was also very professional on the phone! Thank you Kendra

“This place is perfect for a big dinner party or a romantic celebration. I have never left hungry or disappointed. The food is absolutely amazing - make sure you try the Escargot!“

“REVISED- The quick response from the owner here made me change my review. I still do not see contact information other than a DM on social media and their website needs an update to reflect changes. Their food is amazing! Hello Salty Lobster, I have tried to reach out - you do not have a phone number listed and your website is up but nothing is listed. You still have a business profile though so are you still in business? I remember visiting you all in Roanoke and really liked you last time I was there.“

“Samantha is a wonderful waitress, exceptional service !!“

“Absolutely the best steak ANYWHERE around! Reasonably priced and prompt, friendly service. Their huge onion rings are the stuff legends are made of, along with their honey butter and rolls. I could eat here three times a day!“

“This is one of the best bars I’ve ever been to!!! I’m from Texas and I thought southern hospitality was a thing but these guys have topped that. They were so welcoming and kind and you could tell it was genuine. And meanwhile, their personalities were great. Their service and drinks were great as well.!!“

“Great except the heavy hand with salt , there are 40+ other spices , try using some !“

“Went there for the 1st time at lunch today. The food was good.“

“We adore Rockfish and are so thankful to have them in the Village!! Amazing food, cocktails, and service every time!“

“My Mom lives here at Friendship Manor. Club Friendship is in the resident's center and is open weekdays. Mom likes being able to walk to the cafe and seems to prefer it over having someone take her off campus to eat out.The staff are very friendly and get to know the clientele by name. I get hugs when I visit. (I've been coming to visit several times a year for 20 years.)The menu is relatively inexpensive and is suitable for nearly everyone.“

“Absolutely, hands down one of the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining in. From the very friendly and helpful staff to one of the cleanest restaurants I have seen. While in town on October 24th and the 25th, had dinner on Friday and was so impressed, I had to go back Saturday before leaving. Needless to say, when I return to Roanoke I will be staying in the same location to only have this restaurant 3 blocks away.“

“Beautiful view! Warm and attentive staff.“
