“This was one of our first stops in Salem when we visited in early September and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Really impressed with the bright flavors of the GF sorbets, and the full dairy ice cream was incredible. I opted for a scoop of the Salty PB Oreo in a fresh waffle cone- folks, this is the ultimate flavor combo. The ice cream was so good, I didn’t…”
“Excited to find a fully vegan place in Salem! I had the pumpkin latte and the chick’n ranch sandwich. Extremely generous portion and I added fries. Very delicious. The service was friendly and for a Sunday, we had no problem finding a seat. It is located inside the lil mall as well.”
“Oh man, do I love this place! They have every single candy you can imagine and then some. Just come in and choose what you want. They even have different bags that you can sell at different prices: large bags and ones that you can buy by weight of the candy that you're buying.”
“I have been to Super Slice many times. The New York Style thin crust pizza is fabulous. Everything is made from scratch from Chef Keenan .The variety of slices are incrediable. sauce is very flavorful. and tasty. the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. The prices are affordable and you can buy a slice or whole pie. The salads are tasty and freshly made daily. The extra special treat is when…”
“We are going to Meilee express about 6 years and very happy with quality and service. Food are so tasty, good flavor, we love seafood delight, beef and mushrooms, sweet sour chicken, dumplings. Service is friendly and on time.”
“This place is excellent! The lunch special is solid - the jerk chicken is delicious and tender, served bone-in and chopped into 3-4 pieces, over peas and rice and some fried plantains - and the rest of the menu has something for everyone. I almost always get two beef and cheese patties to go, they're always warm and flavorful, and they have a bit of spice too, talk about comfort…”
“My wife and I came here for her birthday. The room on the west side was very nice and cozy. There was water and a coffee machine in the room, a mini fridge, a nice TV and a beautiful bathroom with a nice big walk in shower. The morning breakfast was very delicious and the servers were all nice. Essex St is right around the corner and has many stores…”
“This review is for the Canton room at Silsbee by Daniel's House. Fantastic period decorated BnB. Room is wonderfully decorated, comfortable and spacious. 4 exterior windows let you enjoy a 2nd story view of Essex street, with a more modern (early 20th century) updated bathroom. The Canton room does NOT have on-site parking; host will help facilitate a on-street permit. NOTE - parking in Salem is likely much more restrictive…”
“I live in CT and I took a trip to Salem today (2+hour drive). I stopped in here, got a chocolate drink and of all the places and things I did in Salem all I could think about was the chocolate drink lol I need more chocolate drink😂😂 I’m trying to convince myself driving 2+hours for it is totally fine🤪 Happy to see I can order the “elixir” online to…”
“Stopped in for a Steak Bomb and a Beer. One of the Better Steak Bombs I've had. Was Pipping Hot and Delicious with a Cold Highlife!!!! Good price. $20 Bucks for all of it,and the Sandwich was a Fatty.”
“I had the best hot fudge sundae there that I've had in a long time. Yum!!”
“Walked by this place and had to stop in. Great, friendly, and personable bartenders! Even though they don’t serve food, their recommendations of nearby food options were superb, and included both known and hidden gems. Cider options were varied and delicious. And lastly, trivia night with Samara (Geeks who Drink) was 10/10 fun!! #WISCOuldrons”
“A very intimate and cozy place with really phenomenal food choices. We absolutely loved everything that was served. This restaurant offers an ideal environment for a date, but it is also very kid-friendly. I would definitely return…”
“We absolutely love Couch Dog Brewing! We come regularly and even joined the Mug Club because it’s such a great spot to have right here locally. It’s the perfect place for everyone - dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and with plenty for adults to enjoy too. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the beer is fantastic, and the staff makes you feel right at home. So glad to have this gem in the community!…”
“This was a great spot to sit outside and enjoy a good meal while people watching. The desserts are definitely the hype! I ordered mine as a meal because I knew I would not have room if I didn’t. Totally worth it! I also had some bites of clam chowder and the other things that my family ordered at the table. Everything was delicious and the price was really good.”
“Unfortunately we didn’t go into the coffee shop or get any food because the line is so long. It is that way because this place is popular and the coffee is amazing. I saw so many locals with it that I knew it was a great spot. I did get to go shopping in there and it was just great. A nice mix of all the different styles you can…”
“Best pizza place in Salem including all the surrounding areas. Love their food and service. Prices are very reasonable and the staff pours their heart in preparing the food and rendering great customer service.”
“I can’t recommend The Merchant enough. We took the first vacation with our 1 year old daughter and the convenience this property offered made this stop on our road trip so, so easy. The ready made snacks like chia pudding and yogurt parfaits allowed us to give our daughter nice fresh snacks upon arrival and late night when she woke up restless. Not to mention, the property is gorgeous and…”
“Tried a little of everything. Clam chowder was very good, the lobster bisque was amazing (get the extra lobster in it) Crab cakes maybe in top 5 I've had. While the salmon was in the top 3. Tuna was decent. Sticky toffy was good but I honestly expected it to be a bit better, pumpkin cheese cake was good. Service was great ( Great job Rachel!!) Atmosphere was nice.”
“I came in for lunch while working in town. Had amazing carnitas tacos, great conversation with Auntie, which created a welcoming atmosphere for me being miles away from home working. I didn't have room for dessert so she bagged it and put it in the cooler with my name for me after work! I had the best service and the best flan!”
“We had Rachel as our server, top notch. We had lobster bisque, lobster risotto cake, haddock sandwich and clam roll sandwich. Lots of food, very good price.”
“Do not walk past, get in, grab a slice or two and enjoy. Visiting for the day from uk, needing some pizza this place delivered. Pepperoni was delicious and ricotta and meatball even better. Lots of choice plus sodas. Really enjoyed this place, the service was friendly and attentive. Only negative is that it’s not my local pizza stop.”
“Perfect Salem diner/restaurant/bar. Lunch. Fried clams are perfect.”
“Great Hotel, awesome location! All of Salem is within walking distance but you're not right in the hustle and bustle. Love that. Beautiful, clean, spacious rooms! Only complaints are the living room fuse kept blowing out when we tried to watch TV. Also the lack of mirrors. Just 1 in the bathroom. We had 4 people in the queen suite and it was hard to get ready in the evenings.…”
“Great food and service, ordered a marg flight and it was delicious the passionfruit one was my favorite we ordered a full one of those afterwards. Cool atmosphere! Wish I lived here I would be a regular here!”
“Every bit deserving of their 5-Star rating (4.9). I ordered takeout but decided to dine in upon arrival. The fresh squeezed OJ is amazing! I also got a bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant. Perfect balance of bacon, egg and cheese on an incredibly delicious buttery croissant. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a long time. The level of care that they put into the takeout…”
“Life Alive is a seat yourself restaurant. You wait in line to order your food. There are menus you can grab by the register or you can use the overhead menu to order. I didn't want the tofu in my Rainbow Bowl and asked that it be left out and switched for avocado. Unfortunately, the person at the register seemed a bit overwhelmed and neglected to add that detail and…”
“The atmosphere, cookies, and ice cream were all top notch. I would recommend this spot to anyone and my only regret is not trying the Mac and cheese bites.”
“Visiting from FL and stopped in for a bite before a ghost tour. Staff was super friendly and prices were great. The pizza was hot and the sauce was delicious. Loved being able to sit down for a meal without paying $$$. Would definitely come back next time.”
“Loved this place so much we visited once or twice a day while in town. It stays open till 11 so after we were done at the bars we would go here and get a spiked coffee treat. They have all kinds of nice treats to eat. I got Flan, Baklava, tiramisu it was all good. The dubai chocolate latte was so good! Music was on point each time we…”
“Great food, we sat on the upper level patio and it was such a peaceful meal. I ordered the salad with trout and it was delicious. Good beer selection. Went to use the bathroom and the rest of my salad had been taken up before I was done with it but other than that a perfect experience.”
“We got the breakfast burrito & it did not disappoint. At first we were on edge about the honey mustard but it was literally homemade & tasted so good. We also got two iced lattes & was super pleased overall with everything!”
“I've been to Salem many times and I love staying at the Hawthorne. The Tavern, Nathaniel's, the proximity to everything! This last time, while out sightseeing and shopping, we got caught in a horrible rainstorm. When we made it back to the hotel, we asked for a couple of extra towels. Before we even got our wet shoes off up in our room, warm towels from the dryer were delivered…”
“We walked in and we were welcomed. It is a quint diner that serves lots of great breakfast items. Friendly staff speaking to customers, laughing and joking. This is a must stop while in Salem.”
“First time to Salem and we stayed here, highly recommend. The rooms are larger than expected and very clean. Traveled for a girl's trip, so safety is always on our minds. Felt very safe here. Love the outside patio. It's a mile from downtown Salem, about a 20 min walk, and walking to the downtown also seemed very safe.”
“Stopped in this afternoon for an amazing lunch with Jacqui! We shared a Caesar salad with anchovies, pizza, and a couple of cocktails. Everything was fresh and delicious. Jacqui invited us into the kitchen for a tour—it was spotless, despite being a busy scratch kitchen. We proceeded to sit at the bar and having lived here her whole life, Jacqui regaled us with the history of the wharf and offered…”
“Rockafellas is a great spot right in the heart of Salem. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a nice mix of historic charm and modern vibe. The menu has something for everyone, from fresh seafood to hearty comfort food, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was attentive and friendly, and the staff made us feel right at home. It’s also a perfect place to grab drinks with…”
“Wrote a review for Beverly a while back and now need one for Salem! BEST coffee/pastry/breakfast place in Salem!! It’s a must have when you visit!! The sandwiches are always loaded with whatever you ask, the coffee is very high quality and don’t even get me started on those pastries…. BEST PASTRIES IN SALEM!!!! make sure you grab yourself a cupcake!!! The biggest shout out i want to give is…”
“Amazing pastries!! I got the Kok and it was so soft and fresh. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. Definitely coming back here when I’m in town!”
“This was the BEST cold lobster roll I have had to date and I’ve had a lot. Including the ones I’ve had In Maine. It was recommended to us by the lovely bartender at couch dog brewing company so we decided to go with it and SO happy we did! MUST TRY if it’s on their menu!”
“This restaurant is a hidden gem. Loved the short rib au jus and the turkey Brie. Mac and cheese looked delicious, too (I’ll have to get that next time). Lots of lobster options that looked tasty. Loved the fries, & truffles fries were out of this world. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Such a charming spot!”
“Quick, cheap, easy. Friendly service and great food. Try to roast beef sandwich.”
“Rosie and her band of bartenders rock. Been coming for years! Local friends and Ferry visitors alike love it here. Comfortable, friendly, drinks and food excellent and can’t beat the view. Rosie runs an amazing and unique venue for all ages and taste. Music is great as well!”
“My friend and I stopped in to Gulu-Gulu based on a recommendation. The food and service were EXCELLENT. I highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches for a good fuel-up before exploring the city. One breakfast sandwich is enough food for one person, but can easily be shared by two people. The coffee drinks are well-made and the staff offer alternative milk options as a standard question when ordered. The staff are…”
“Dire Wolf was our first stop when visiting Salem. We had a great time and the food/drinks were absolutely delicious! The drinks are creative, and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is very welcoming and we met a few new friends at the bar- very inclusive space. We have added to our rotation whenever we’re in town! The Non-alcoholic drinks are a good choice compared to the alcoholic options -…”
“Surprisingly good small restaurant right on the way walking in to Salem from the Commuter Rail. Excellent service from Henry. Friendly and helpful. House made blueberry lemonade was tasty and not too sweet. Short rib panini was tasty and moist and enough to share. Our side was street corn. Lovely flavor! A very nice surprise. Hope to go back soon!”
“The flavors are just like the ones I grew up with — simple, bold, and full of heart. Every bite brings back memories of family meals and warm kitchens. It’s authentic, comforting, and absolutely delicious.”
“Absolutely best parmesan baked haddock! Totally recommend it!”
“Food was excellent and coffee was insanely good. Some of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had, and the staff are very nice. Would highly recommend!!”
“The concierge was very communicative, and the rooms were extremely clean! This place is a great intersection between an airbnb and a hotel. You can tell a lot of thought was put into all aspects of this place. Will definitely be staying again!”
