Restaurants in Marblehead

“A very nice man served us and made great conversation with us and was very friendly. He helped us out when we didn't have enough money and his just a really nice man overall. I would 100% recommend coming here to get a bite to eat!”

“This was our 3rd time at Elia Taverna. The food each time has been outstanding. We started with yummy zucchini and eggplant chips with tzatziki. My husband ordered the lamb shank, I had chicken skewers which came with the most delicious pita. We also had a side of Briam (vegetables and potatoes.) We brought some of each home for dinner the next night so we could enjoy a dessert. Do not skip dessert! We shared a luscious Ekmek Fataifi (shredded phyllo, milk custard, creme fraiche, toasted almonds.) There was live music the night we were there, a gentleman playing a keyboard and clarinet. That added a lot to a great evening! We will be back soon.”

“I had to order zero heat for dining companions...was pleasantly surprised by the delicious flavor...Massaman curry, Pad Thai, and especially the Indonesian fried rice.”

“My two favorite foods sound boring to some, but I can't help it -- I'm a savory food kind of person. I love nachos and I love BLTs, and it's amazing how many places have managed to not do these two things well. I have never been able to find a place that can make a good BLT, until now!I needed a quick lunch today and went here on a whim because it was close by. I saw they were closing soon, but there were people inside so I headed in. Sometimes small, local coffee shops can feel drafty or unkempt or just lifeless. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I'd want to sit there for hours. The temperature was just right, and the ambiance felt friendly and warm.I acknowledged that they were closing soon and asked if I could still order a sandwich. They replied in a way that felt welcoming, and not like I was imposing on them (which some places, 15 minutes prior to closing, would have). I ordered the BLT and used the restroom while I waited. Even the restroom was pleasant!I sat in one of the two window bays on a comfortable stool (again, perfect! sometimes they're way too high for a 4'10" to get up on, or off), with a complimentary cup of water (I love when cafes have serve yourself water). One of the servers brought my sandwich over and even on first glance I could tell it was going to be good. No wilted lettuce, no weird bread, perfect amount of mayo and bacon. It was the best BLT I've had at a restaurant, even better than I make at home.So, 5 stars for great ambiance, friendly, unrushed service, and a great BLT! I have no doubt that their other food is just as good.”

“Wonderful dinner. Monica and Brittany were so welcoming. The food was head and shoulders above any other Mexican options in southern Essex County. Fresh, creative and cooked with care -- like you are family. We will comeback again and again.”

“Great spot to split a pizza!Prosciutto pizza was very delicious. Perfectly cooked and great crust. Truffle fries were so tasty, yum! Could eat these every day. Salad was fresh.Highly recommend for yummy food.”

“Exceeded our expectations. Food was fresh and delicious! Prepared with care. Friendly staff and lively atmosphere. Bonus—they had Fiddlehead IPA and Guinness on tap too. Will definitely return.”

“Three Cod is fabulous the food the service are the best I highly recommend for a great meal & fun & Sunday Brunch the best try the Eggs Benedict & a Bloody Mary yummy!!”

“I woke this morning feeling amazing. It was in the atmosphere I could feel that tension between me and my wife. Eventually we did the usual if you know . Anyway I proceed to go to driftwood this morning. Got a stack a pancakes. Food was great and service was amazing. GOD BLESS!!!!!”

“Super cute and easy to find . The drinks were good and the town is great location . So on your way see hocus pocus cemetery grab your self a refreshing drink for the walk . You won't be disappointed and everything reasonably priced and very clean and cool so you can relax and enjoy your drink before your next adventure.”

“Went this past weekend. Luckily made a reservation a week prior because it was packed! Very attentive service. No rush, but there when we needed him. We have cocktails at the Hidden Door before arriving so we order wine and beer straightaway. Apps were the Hamachi tartar - FANTASTIC. Onion soup - wonderful. Escargot - look at that s car go!.. Mains were equally wonderful. The skate wing was perfect. Frankly it was so good I forget what everyone else got. Desserts were also yummy. We opted for the honey lavender sorbet - light and refreshing. We'll be back!”

“My favorite neighborhood restaurant. Food is excellent. Service is wonderful. The owner is amazing. Everyone is very accommodating. Atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Just a great place to go out for casual dining, family dinner. Or drinks with friends. Would highly recommend. Our favorite restaurant in Marblehead”

“We hit all the recommended places our first couple days in marblehead, we continued to search for additional experiences to try. Our last afternoon we found this little place within walking distance (as most places are in marblehead) and reviews seemed good. Luckily they weren't busy so we didn't need a reservation at that time. After entering we were happily surprised by the decor and menu options, yet somehow we were even more surprised by our appetizers and then our entrées. After being told at another place our first night in marblehead that no restaurants served bread pudding, we ordered two when our server told us they had it (and they fresh and delicious). Had we been in town any longer we definitely would have returned to try some other options. We plan to be back in the area in the spring and we'll be making sure we have reservations.”

“I usually get a smoothie and a ginger, turmeric, and lemon shot here 1-2x weekly. Love their menu and the way everything tastes! Definitely more reasonably priced than other local health food eateries.”

“An old pals reunion & w a reserved table for 8 on M afternoon at 12:45. Servers couldn't have been nicer as we caught up ( after almost 30 yrs as a total group of early Boston condo neighbors from 3 states) . Let us take our time to order drinks & food ..we chose a M as knew it wouldn't be too crowded and we're there for 2 1/2 hrs without feeling rushed. All were happy with their drinks & meals Thank you all!!”

“This place is the BEST! I tell everyone visiting to come here. If you had a bad experience, it must have been an off day for them. Things happen and I hope you would try them again. Always friendly always delicious and consistent. Can’t say enough positive things about them.”

“A great little Cafe in a charming town. My husband and I stopped for something quick for breakfast last week before exploring the town and they didn't disappoint. Their lattes were perfect and I had their Kouign-amann which was so good my husband went back for another to take home.Their staff was warm, friendly and very welcoming.Hope to visit again someday!”

“We have been frequenting Plus Café for both breakfast and lunch for over a year now and what keeps us coming back is not only the food but the entire staff. Everyone comes from service oriented Mediterranean countries, which gives the place a nice European flavor. The staff and the owner are all quite enjoyable to deal with. Oh, try the Marblehead Stacker sandwich. You could feed a family of four on this thing, and it's amazingly delicious!Vegetarian options: Various salads, bagels, muffins, wide selection of pastries, and we found the friendly and helpful staff are more than willing to help you build your own meal to order.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan diners should not encounter a problem. The overall theme is Mediterranean so you're looking at healthy eating.Parking: Parking is along both sides a long avenue that runs in front of several shops and the café.Kid-friendliness: Kids are not a problem and we have seen many come and go. There's even a high chair, but we can't honestly attest to the quality of the pablum!Wheelchair accessibility: The café is on one floor with front door access at sidewalk level. Wheelchairs therefore welcomed.”

“Mino's is one of those great standbys for when you don't know what to make for lunch/dinner. The food is always fast & fresh. I'm a big fan of their Greek salad with grilled chicken and my other family members like their pizza and Philly cheesesteaks. A great local restaurant when you just need a fast and easy meal.Edit: I go to Mino's about once a month for years and have never been ill from the food, never questioned the food safety or cleanliness, and never had a sour experience with the staff. I wouldn't let one bad review sully their reputation. This place is always busy at the usual lunch and dinner times. Mino's has regulars for a reason.”

“We love to stop in. mostly local, good people, enjoying themselves and others. No pretenses. Friendly bartenders, and good, well-priced drinks. A great place to go, and forget what's outside.”

“Four of us were there last night and had an absolutely fabulous time. As far as attentiveness, at least four servers were constantly checking on us to make sure all was well and that we had everything needed; additionally, great recommendations were made. Also, the owner chatted with us several times.All in all, the food was incredible and prices reasonable. The atmosphere was that of an old Italian restaurant which, in my opinion, made us all feel welcomed. Each of us had different entrees, and all were perfectly executed.Well done!”

“Great food, friendly service, nice dining area. Some unique vegetarian options I haven’t found at many other Japanese restaurants in the area.Vegetarian options: Tofu and vegetable sushi rolls on the menu!”

“Stopped in for lunch and burn some time on way to airport. I had chicken wrap it’s enormous really tasty with a pickle and a bag of crisps nice coffee and lots of sweet options ”

“Excellent Mexican food, bilingual Mexican atmosphere, it has a spectacular, very funny mariachi, the drinks are a delight, both Mexican beer and margaritas, and the natural water is a delight. Super recommended”

“I have passed this building for years and never paid attention to what was inside. I won't make that mistake again!What this deli lacks in genteel atmosphere, it more than makes up for in friendly service and terrific food! Don't miss the chopped liver!!!”

“Best ice cream in marblehead. I get a malted frappe but you should get the hot cookie topping on ice cream too. The owner Carlos is great.Kid-friendliness: Great games for kids. The love the rubber ducky game.”

“Great straight up deli. Every sandwich I've had here is amazing, especially the American Hero (pictured). Lots of great options. The owner/staff are always kind and helpful. Can't recommend enough ??Parking: Situated in a large plaza with plenty of free parking.”

“5 stars. My husband and I stumbled on this place looking for a later-night joint. We came for 3/4 nights while in the area. The food is legit, the beers on tap are killer, and the employees/chef are lovely. Run, don’t walk.”

“We stopped here for lunch on a visit of Marblehead. It was our first time in town. It felt like a quintessential NE experience, eating tasty fresh seafood overlooking the harbor. Definitely recommend!”

“Awesome food,very authentic and colorful food.Awesome assortment of Jarritos Soda. Awesome service nice genuine staff. Affordable prices, clean enviting atmosphere 5STAR EXPERIENCE, can't wait to return.”

“Lovely healthy local option with delicious food that is always fresh. A favorite takeout spot particularly in the winter for their pho. Also a big fan of the noodle bowls, pork buns and fresh spring rolls”

“THE BEST!!!!!! The staff of ladies that help everyone in the morning get their work day going are the absolute best. From the sandwiches to the pre-made options to the produce to the fresh fruit. No complaints. Always a great atmosphere.”

“Delicious ice creams!We wanted to try everything.The Sundae was incredible, and our favorite ice cream flavors were sea salt caramel and chocolate mint. What a great day!”

“While visiting, we found this place, and the pizza was terrific (mushrrom, onion, and sausage, best sausage ever) plus couldn't beat the price. Totally recommend it!”

“I love love, love Tony’s Italian restaurant! Being fortunate enough to live across the street from the business, I have thoroughly enjoyed many years of going to Tony’s. Food is totally delicious, and pizza unbelievably delicious! Family owned business, and they are absolutely lovely. I always feel right at home when I visit. I could go on and on, but I just had to say wonderful things about the whole family, and about the wonderful food that I have enjoyed & continue to enjoy ,at Tony’s restaurant. I continue to be fortunate enough to celebrate this great business!??”

“The employees here are great but this place is always packed with unaccompanied kids. A Starbucks where you can’t get a thing done isn’t ideal but other than that can’t complain.”
