18 Best American Restaurants in Salem

“Food and drinks were great. The waitress was also the cook, but she handled it well. The only downside is that there's no parking and the tables were pretty close together. I would definitely go again. Luckily, I know someone that lives nearby so I could park in his driveway and walk.“

“We had the best experience yesterday at Olde Main Street Pub. We sat outside and it was great people and dog watching. We started with the curry fries, which we had never had but the server encouraged the choice..it was delicious. I had salmon with summer succotash and my husband loved the curry so much, he ordered the veggie pub curry with chicken. Service was fantastic, very friendly, polite and informative. We will definitely come back.“

“April’s II is a wonderful restaurant with a very friendly staff, great food with huge portions and reasonable prices. Special Thanks to Yulana our very friendly waitress.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“it's a great place and a great bar. unfortunately the people performing whatever they thought they were performing was god awful to the point where we left as soon as we were done paying for our food.
