Would have given this place 5 stars until I was almost done with my meal and found a staple on my French toast. Thankfully I saw it. It came in a plastic bag so wasn't a staple from a paper bag. read more

April's II - American Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Never had an unsatisfactory meal! Services are always pleasant. Sometimes there is a wait for a table but IMHO it's worth the wait.

went to Aoril's today after my sister's Dr. appt...we were greated warmly and told to sit anywhere...my sister has MS and uses a walker so we chose a table near the restrooms....after we ordered I could see that my sister was uncomfortable and hurting...there was an empty booth so we moved to it..I transferred all the cups and utensils...when the server brought our food she lectured me about how difficult our move would be for her if the restaurant was busy..it was half full...then the owner came over and explained that the Board of Health would be upset with a dirty table...HUH?...we never saw our server again...until she brought the check and her demeanor was so changed I asked her if she was pissed at us and that I thought the situation(?) was handled badly.....she went into a rant about how she was not rude to us and she treats OLD people very well...I will never go back to April's and this was the first time in my life that I left a 10% tip..I should have left nothing..but as a former server I just couldn't. read more

April's II - American Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Great place for a decent priced breakfast. I frequented aprils 1 for many years, both are good

First trip to April's this AM. I live in downtown Salem and usually walk to breakfast, but downtown is getting crowded with early Halloween visitors, so we decided to get in the car and try breakfast here. Well worth the trip. One of us had the veggie omelet which was demolished quickly. I had a single scrambled egg and one of French toast which were done quite nicely. The staff people were very attentive but not overbearing. We enjoyed coming here and will be back! read more

Came here with a party of four, food was excellent and the staff was very accommodating! I will definitely be returning!!

Love there food and service , I like there stuffed French toast and my husband always get their pancakes which are amazing !!

Our go to breakfast spot! Amazing service and food. I also love the lunch, the quesadillas are awesome and the specials are always exciting and delicious... read more

Ordered a breakfast burrito after getting influenced by YouTube videos in bed and had it delivered to my apartment. Incredible breakfast burrito with home fries, perfectly melted cheese, my only complaint was the salsa was a bit watery as opposed to a pico de Gallo, and the sour cream was warm from being included in the stryofoam container with a piping hot burrito, but complaints aside, taste was there. Will recommend this place for sure. read more

Very good food, and service. Wouldn't get the corned beef hash again sadly. It's mostly potato barely any meat. Other than that, loved it! read more

One word: AMAZING! I love this place. I tried it for the first time this week and fell in love. I was intrigued by the Dominican egg's Benedict because I've had Dominican breakfast but never eggs Benedict style. It was like literally heaven in your mouth... the service is amazing. The restaurant is super clean, and my boyfriend got steak and eggs which were so yummy! We can't wait to go back again, and we will be trying to lynn location for dinner sometime soon. :) read more

Great breakfast! It's right around the corner from our house which is even more convenient!! Great prices too! Definitely be back! read more

I work in the same plaza and always ordered take out for lunch and was always satisfied with food. Boyfriend and I decided to go on a Sunday for breakfast. Staff and service was great! Food came out under 10-15mins. The pancake was MASSIVE! Food was on point per usual and I love how close the staff are warm and inviting. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! read more

Very clean, great service and excellent food just like their other location in Lynn. Love that they blend traditional American Breakfast/Brunch meals with some Dominican foods like the "Dominican Eggs Benedict" (it's great!). They also have other Latin dishes like mofongo and you can get Dominican sides (ie: fried cheese, salami, fried plantains). The waiters were very nice & attentive as well. I was thirsty and asked for water and they never let my glass go empty before refilling it. I live in Lynn but this one is closer than the original April's so this is my new spot! read more

After a long overnight shift at the hospital, several of us nurses decided to go out to breakfast to a place one of them suggested. As we walked up to the place you CLEARLY see all of the interventions they had in place to keep all customers safe from the outside to the inside. Always what a Nurse wants to see! Next my eyes were drawn to the attention of a big poster board with a picture of a beautiful young woman on the front of it. It was the story behind the restaurant. It was simply beautiful........... the place itself was super cute and super clean. Side note: There were several employees cleaning throughout the course of our meal as well. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Everything on the menu looked and sounded so great, so we decided on getting a lot of different things for everyone to try. Everything single thing we ate was outstanding!!!!! The food was cooked to perfection. Warm, fresh and portion size is perfect. Most of us took home left overs. My most favorite part about the experience was that the chef/owner of the restaurant had come to the table to make sure that we were all satisfied with our food. He definitely gets an A+++++ I know that we were not at a fine dinning experience but it was certainly close to it or the next best thing. I left feeling full in the belly and in the heart. The man behind the grill definitely exudes passion and heart which shows in his food!! Definitely going back......... read more

I just enjoyed a delicious breakfast! Coffee excellent, clean surroundings, and the Florentine Benedict was perfect. They really know how to cook their eggs so they are not rubbery and the yolk is soft. Perfection! read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! The BEST meal we've had since arriving in Salem! 100% recommend! read more

Whoa. First time here. Great first impression. Will definitely be back. Stopped in for breakfast take out after an appointment next door. I got the Breakfast Quesadilla and an ice coffee to go. Got at home and...AMAZING. Big serving (my plate only has 1 of 4 pieces) Red and yellow peppers, home fries, bacon and cheese inside, with salsa and sour cream on the side. I'm glad there's no egg inside because it was delicious without it. (My picture do it justice lol) read more

April's II - Breakfast quesadilla - American Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

I ordered the Fried Haddock. It was pretty okay. I loved the backstory of their daughter April and the fact that they named the place after her. It was touching. My family was overall pretty happy with the meal. The fish was okay and the fries were okay but I was disappointed with the onion rings. The staff seemed very nice though. read more

April's II - American Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

food was good. but we do not speak spanish. so there was a disconect between ordering & getting our food. will not go back.

April's is a real hidden gem in Salem. I went several times when I was living in the area. I always stuck to ordering traditional breakfast fare. It was consistently delicious, served hot and made to order. My favorite item was the breakfast scramble with sausage. Added bonuses are hot coffee which the friendly waitstaff quickly refills and easy parking in the lot. Lots of friendly, hard-working folks who are serving up some wonderful food! read more

The food is great the only problem is. It took over 20 minutes for our waiter to take my order

This is one of the most popular family restaurants that we know of in the area. The food is bountiful, delicious and priced right. Thank you Isabel for the excellent service you gave us. Thank you so much. read more

Best food! Fresh, homemade, and sooo delicious! April's always is a great pick for breakfast or lunch! Great staff, always attentive and friendly. You can tell this family cares about the food they prepare for you. read more

Heard from friends about this place. There used to be a clam shop here. Open from 7 to 2 or 2:30 7 days a week. Excellent menu choices. Great variety - including some central-American dishes. My friend had the baked seafood combination plate - I had the fried seafood combination plate. My fried platter - -nothing was greasy - - everything was tasty. We will come back to try other menu items. Good service, great food, great variety, clean establishment, fair prices - - what more could you want? read more

Prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. Normally very busy during weekends so be patient. Worth the wait. The prices are below Marias Restaurant in Salem which also has excellent food but much more expensive. The servers at April's are also friendlier..my goto choice read more

The food it's amazing that's best way I can described it. The Mofongo with shrimps was and it's so tasty and yummy. I also taste the seafood with rice and veggies they tasted fresh and juicy. Well is my place to go whenever I want to have some good quality food. read more

Great food good service reasonable prices. Blueberry pancakes are fantastic as are the waffles but if they're going to put that much effort into great breakfast dishes at least give us the option to pay extra for Real Vermont Maple Syrup please!!! I don't know what brand they're using but it was absolutely horrible.. Other than that I hope it's successful. I'll be back but smuggling in a small bottle of Real Vermont Syrup... read more

This restaurant is April's II, the 2nd location recently opened where Bob's Fried Clams previously was located. The 1st location is on Buffum St in Downtown Lynn. Parking in the Salem location is 100% improved. Dining room is super spacious. Service was prompt & friendly. A bit slow on warming up my coffee but our waitress was very busy working on To Go orders & she apologized . I'm looking forward to returning to try something from the lunch menu. The owner stopped by our table to make sure we were pleased with our meal. Very nice touch! I know the owner ( Julio, i think?) cares about his customers & providing top quality food & service that's affordable. Check, check & check! We were so full- portions are HUGE! I actually took home half of my omelette- that's how big it was! My daughter loved her chocolate milk to go with her chocolate chip pancakes. You'd never know it but my daughter is almost 20 years old! April's II offers a kids menu with good options for the little ones. As someone who also is blessed enough to have a "special " person in their family, the story of April's namesake & accompanied picture on the restaurant wall & on the website is VERY TOUCHING! It makes me want to visit here more ! read more

Tucked away in a strip mall between Salem and Lynn is this great Dominican diner. The place was full when we arrived, but a spot quickly opened at the counter. Greg had the artichoke, tomatoes and spinach omelette with home fries, and a side of fried cheese. Fried cheese! Lori had the Dominican Benedict which had tostones topped with eggs and hollandaise with fried cheese (fried cheese!) and fried salami which Greg ate. Fried cheese! The meal was very authentic with the fried cheese being the highlight of the meal. If you are looking for great diner breakfast with a Dominican flair this is the place to go. read more

April's is definitely my favorite breakfast place. The family that owns this place is very friendly, amazing poeple. Both lactions are great (Lynn and Salem) the difference is Salem does not sell alcohol which doesn't change anything for me. If you haven't tried the Dominican benedict I suggest you give it a try my son gets it every time we go. But everything I have had so far is great! read more

I have eaten here a few times and love it there. The food was great and the staff was very warm and welcoming. Breakfast and lunch there is a real treat, the restaurant is spotless and wonderful read more

Clean, good and fast service. Jonathan is an amazing waiter with advanced people's skills. The story of this restaurant's name will bring tears of joy to your eyes. read more

The food here is amazing! My boyfriend loved their eggs Benedict. Reasonably priced and everything tasted fresh.

My new favorite spot!!!! Ok first all breakfast places have bunk coffee so my expectations were low but the coffee is AMAZING! Second all the food is Soooo Tasty and made to perfection! Nothing, not the bacon, hash browns or bacon was over or under cooked. Also the wait staff is all amazing and everybody is happy and welcoming and attentive. And the place was perfectly clean and all the condiments on the table were wiped clean and neat (normally not the case) you can tell this place is someone's baby and it shows read more

The atmosphere, the food, the owners all made my trip to this restaurant a wonderful experience! Can't say enough great things about Julio and Maria and what they have done here! read more
