“Recommended by a local and boy were they correct! The food was fantastic! Especially the lobster, bisque and the crabcakes! Jennie Hébert Lakeland, Florida“

“I always love coming here for the new flavors and the staff are always wonderful but tonight was the best experience yet. My wife and I had such a fun conversation with Kaitlynn as she grabbed our order and she really went the extra mile to make sure we were well taken care of. She grabbed us a sample of the vegan biscoff and it was godly. I'll be coming back again next week for a full cup! ?“

“came here for the eclipse and had a great time on the patio. the manager gave folks eclipse glasses to use which i thought was very nice considering they were sold out everywhere. the beer is exceptional and one of the only places with sidepull taps that i'm aware of.“

“I love GNF.The cookies are unreal--every single time.The breakfast is somehow even better--don't sleep on the chubby bowl!!!I ordered yesterday and one item was left out. I called and they quickly delivered the missing item and threw in a free orange juice while apologizing profusely. Super nice and helpful staff.This is how business should be done!“

“We've been to this place a few times and absolutely loved it every time! With its charming European café ambiance, occasional live music evenings, and delectable offerings such as crepes, pastries, soups, and coffee, it's truly a gem. The owner's warm hospitality adds to the experience. It's easily our top pick since relocating to Beverly, MA.“

“The food was excellent and the drinks!“

“Such amazing ice cream and an amazing staff!! Mad Maggie's is always the place I love to go for ice cream!! The staff is always so kind and friendly and makes going there amazing every time!! With a severe tree nut allergy, the shop can easily accommodate with safety measures that makes me feel safe in going there every single time!!“

“The staff was friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable and portions were great. I was not ready to eat outside yet but, the outside eating area appeared to be a decent size. I had the shrimp dinner with onion rings and coleslaw. The shrimp had a nice breading and were a nice size. Coleslaw and onion rings were also good but, would suggest a little more seasoning. Overall I had a great experience and look forward to visiting again.“

“I cant say enough amazing things about the food and service here. Every time they exceed my expectations. The birria stew is the ABSOLUTE BEST and I cant decide if the birria ramen or the birria nachos I like more. My favorite though is the elote loco, it is perfect every single time. Oh the tamales are also wonderful!“

“Best bar in Salem! All Souls is a fun and safe environment for all. It’s an actual bar/lounge that serves fun bar food and snacks. Lots of vegan options and tasty classic cocktails with a sick jukebox and fun records for all to play.“

“I had my sons first birthday party at Granite Coast over the weekend. Amy was so responsive, helpful, and easy going to work with! We even had donuts made to order and got delicious food from That’s Amore. Our one-a-saurus dinosaur theme was a hit but the hospitality and smiling faces from the Granite Coast staff made this party spectacular! I can’t wait to have another party here in the future. Oh and the delicious beer was the added bonus and the icing on the birthday cake!“

“Had 3 baby cows in the pen today... 2 goats in another pen who where enjoying a nap and watching me and the pen with the rooster and his female chicken friends...and I got a baby cow to come over to me and licked my hand, then mooed at me...I love it there..food/sandwich shop next door to ice cream shop.Kid-friendliness: Many families with kids are always around.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat surfaces...wide paths and room around tables outside...“

“Food is Amazing and service is Top of the Game . Get it before it’s gone !!!“

“Great place to grab a breakfast sandwich or afternoon sweet and coffee or tea. the pumpkin spice coffee is the real deal and my fave go to drink os the bees knees.“

“Anytime I go to Gentile I am greeted with a smile, the beer is delicious & the owners know your name no matter how long it's been since you have stopped in. Great spot to go to for food trucks too! The outdoor area is cozy & inviting, as is the indoors.“

“I've been here a few times at each time everything is delicious! The staff are quick and friendly and there are a ton of flavors to choose from! I just got the maple soft serve which was perfect for fall. I think next time I'll try the pumpkin. They also DENSELY pack the take home quarts and it's fantastic. Looking forward to going back“

“Great beer and bites from the attached restaurant. Was visiting Salem for the day and decided to pop in here after seeing the reviews. The bartender was super nice and helpful when I couldn't decide. They also explained that the food and drinks are separate. After I ordered a beer I ordered some food at the next counter. I went with the Double IPA which was pretty good. For food we got skewers and the spring rolls. Both were so good!I'd come again whenever I'm in Salem.“

“Every single flavor I’ve tried here is outstanding. The ice cream here is incredibly fresh and creamy with top notch ingredients. I love trying the unique flavors and the birthday surprise (cake batter) and coffee Oreo are best I’ve ever had.“

“What a great little off the beaten path morning stop. The staff was friendly and patient and the coffee, woah, the coffee......perfection every morning! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, everything you'd expect from a little mom and pop coffee shop. We LOVED watching the locals come in and be greeted for their morning fix, such warmth from the staff!! Made me want to move to the area just for that! Keep up the good work and if you are looking for that perfect little nook, look no further! If I ever find myself in the area again, it will be my FIRST and LAST stop!“

“We had such a great experience here and will be back!! We had two babies with us and our server made sure we felt comfortable and provided excellent service! Thank you Sarah!! Glad to know Gs is family friendly and still has the bar area going on in the other section of the restaurant!“

“Convenient location (from the mall) and easy online ordering. We were surprised that our order took nearly 25 minutes but realized it was because the dumplings clearly were made to order from scratch. Everything was outstanding and the wait staff happily let us sit inside and gave water while we waited. Truly a hidden gem.“

“I guess there could be worse places to be stuck with a dead battery and waiting for AAA. Marietta is the sweetest. She even said it would be fine if we left the car overnight. Great ice cream! Nice people. I love the coffee soft serve!“

“This gem is well worth the stop. My wife and I stopped in on our long weekend getaway to New Hampshire. We both had the clam chowder and I had the fried clam platter with onion rings and my wife had the lobster roll. The clams and onion rings were fried to perfection. My wife said the lobster roll was amazing.“

“10/10 Five Stars All the Accolades We had a group of 20- 13 kids and seven adults- and our service was TOP NOTCH. They seated us together right away. Brought our food out together and quickly. Understood that we had picky kids and worked with us every step of the way. The food is amazing. The cocktails were cute. The kids had root beer floats, so it was fun for them, too! I always come back because of their food, but their service has made this a staple of mine for every trip to Salem from now on!!“

“If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I absolutely would. It was PERFECT in every way, shape, and form. This goes down as one of my favorite restaurants EVER. After a fun and busy day exploring Salem, my friend and I came here to eat. I started off with a cup of clam chowder. It really hit the spot, especially in the cold weather. It was truly high quality clam chowder. For the main meal, I got the lobster mac and cheese. Y’all. Please listen. This is the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had in my entire life, and no I’m not exaggerating. It was SO cheesy and SO creamy, I kept eating it until I was beyond full. I’ve never had mac and cheese this incredible before in my life. I went straight to the mac and cheese heavens nonstop. It did something to me I can’t explain. Literally the perfect mac and cheese. I’ll be thinking about it for the rest of my life. My friend ordered the lobster grilled cheese, and she was in love as well. She went straight to the grilled cheese heavens. We were both the most satisfied we have ever been at any restaurant. The lobster pieces in our mac and cheese and grilled cheese were very fresh and tasty. Also, the servers were all incredibly sweet and friendly. Truly wonderful service. If you are in Salem at any point, you must try this place. You need to. No exceptions. I can’t wait to come back in the future and try everything else!!“

“The place is very aesthetically pleasing, with a design that immediately captures attention. The decor is an interesting mix between the elegant charm of a French bistro and the bright colors and energy of a Mexican restaurant, creating a unique and pleasant atmosphere.The staff is friendly and welcoming, always ready to make customers feel at ease. The speed of service is average, ensuring a smooth, unhurried experience.It is a popular place for tourists, which contributes to a lively and international atmosphere. Prices are medium-high, reflecting the central location and attention to detail in decor and service.In conclusion, this restaurant offers a refined and welcoming environment, perfect for those who want a gastronomic experience in a fascinating location.The food is good, if not exceptional.“

“My husband and I stopped in to grab a coffee before we hit up Logan to fly home. We met Duchess a super rad doggo, and some pretty neat humans too. I had the brown sugar toffee iced latte. 14 out of 10 would absolutely recommend. I don’t know when I will make it back to Salem. However, when I do, Spells Coffee Shop & Market has made the list for a return trip! Thank you for fueling a day full of travel.“

“Battlegrounds is a cool little coffee shop right on the heart of downtown Haverhill. They have all sorts of fun coffee flavors and their own beans for sale. The baristas were very quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is a typical cozy coffee shop with couches and tables to choose from. We loved that we were able to sit on the couches by the window and watch it snowing while we drank our coffees (which were nothing too special, but were still good). We would come back here again if we were in the downtown Haverhill area.“

“Cool place. Fast, friendly service. Pumpkin beer was really good! Food was tasty - the wings were AMAZING. They're beer braised, extremely tender and very flavorful. Pizza was just okay (sorry, I'm a New Yorker) but still enjoyable. My husband enjoyed the beer; he bought a four pack of Hit of Haze. Fun, local place! Worth a visit, for sure!“

“Awesome wine awesome staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our family’s favorite ice cream shop in Salem! This place is cozy and comfortable, and the owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We stop in here multiple times each trip and always love the treats and conversation. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“I have gone here for breakfast food and coffee for like the past 7 years. I've eaten everything on the menu it's all great. The bohemian wrapsody is the best get that with bacon. And get a turtle late. You won't be disappointed. It's such a comfy place to sit down and talk with a friend. It's my favorite place to go to for food. Everyone in there is nice and friendly too I love everyone working there especially those that have been there for a while.Vegetarian options: The caprese, falafel, veggie salad wrap, nutty panini are all examples but there are more vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: They have gluten free wraps“

“Delicious food & friendly staff!Their brick oven pizza is the best around!Their calzones are delicious & the ricotta in them makes riversides calzones different from the rest!I was lucky to score some churros on a random give away day & I really hope they add them to the menu! Bite size churros smothered in cinnamon & sugar- yum!!!“

“Good food, but a weird thing: I asked for a second packet of honey, and the person at the cash register said it would be $2.50. I was shocked and obviously couldn’t pay that. The biscuits weren’t as enjoyable without enough honey, so that wasn’t great.It was clean, and well-kept, but no where to sit except a few bar stools. It definitely seems unwelcoming to dine-in visitors. Sitting in bar stools is not accessible for many people. For example, it makes dining-in not wheelchair accessible, it’s hard on many of the elderly, and for many of those with physical disabilities.“

“loved it . wait staff were very friendly and the food was good and healthy“

“Great spot to eat convenient and right by everything. I can see why it has some of the highest ratings on Yelp“

“So good!! One of my favorite spots in Salem. Creative and fun pizza menu. Super cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend:)“

“An overall amazing experience eating here! The food was served to us within a reasonable and quick time! And it tasted extremely good! Eating here was well worth it! I had the sushi and scallops and they were large portions and extremely worth their value! Moseline was Wonderful and very attentive to our table!Kid-friendliness: I brought my younger brother and he was so satisfied with the size and taste of the food. He absolutely loved the sushi and fish and chips! Really good experience dining here even with my younger brother. (He is 8)“

“Best ice cream going!! Difficult to choose a flavor. Excellent service.“

“The sandwich was fantastic! In the end that’s what counts. I gave it 4 stars because this is a lunch place in an industrial center… and it took well over 20 minutes to get the most basic sandwich they offer. And the place was only 25% full at the time. It was way too long to wait for a lunch crowd. Tighten that up and they are awesome.“

“Perfect Irish bar to go to at any time of the week for great food, drinks, and service! The interior is well kept, clean, and a great atmosphere for a day/night out. Look forward to going there on Thursdays as well for their trivia night, super fun!“

“There are several brewing operations within walking distance of the Newburyport MBTA commuter rail station, even if much of this is along roads without proper sidewalks. Still, when combined with a $10 weekend commuter rail pass, you can explore all these breweries in one day trip without worrying about driving afterwards, all while saving on the cost of gas. Newburyport Brewing is one of these breweries. It's located deep inside a dead-end road about a 20 minute walk from the train station - but there are at least 2 other brewing operations along the way. Once inside, you'll find a large, rustic, pub-like taproom with about a dozen draft brews on offer. There's also a large, sun-drenched beer garden outside. I tried a variety of brews via a flight when I stopped by: the Plum Island Belgian White wheat beer, Overboard NEIPA, Sandbar DIPA, Newberry Blue sour, and the toffee stout. A nice variety that showed that they can make clean, light, easily drinkable brews across a spectrum of styles - not to mention refreshing ones on a hot early summer day.Even though there was a steady stream of folks lining up at the bar, service was attentive, efficient, and detail-oriented. When I stopped by, it was particularly busy because there was a solid live band. If I remember correctly, they had some snacks available for purchase, but if you want something more substantial to help you soak up the booze, you can either bring your own food or order delivery. All in all, a lively, social venue in an otherwise quiet commercial corridor of Newburyport with plenty of brews to make it worth your while in getting here.“

“Their chicken sandwiches are AMAZING! BEST chicken sandwiches I ever had! Their hot dogs are second to none! Let’s face it , a hot dog is a hot dog, but what they garnish and add flavors with is incredible! Go there! Eat- you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“If your kid is under 40 inches you get a kids size ice cream FREE. No $4 ice cream like other places where 1/2 ends up melting, 1/4 all over them and they only eat 1/4. Home made too. Delish!“

“Had an amazing dinner there tonight! Emily our waitress was amazing and friendly! The food was delicious and the staff found out my fiancé and I just got engaged and surprised us with dessert and played our song to dance while singing along! It was a great time!“

“First timer at Longboards, was told 20-30 minute wait, ended up being 40 when multiple small tables for 2 were available.Cheese sticks were a bit greasy but good. I had steak tips over Cesar salad and it was excellent. My gf had fish sandwich with fries. Sandwich was very good, fries thing and not very good at all. Alcoholic beverages were very good.“

“My favorite place for a sandwich and espresso (martini)!“

“We went to Tavern on 28 for the first time for Mother's Day Brunch. It was absolutely delicious and the staff was extremely attentive. Everyone was very happy with their selection and ate everything on their plate. There was also a beautiful outdoor area we hope to be able to sit at in the future. We hope to be back soon for dinner, and sometime this summer for lunch.“
