Chicken pecan salad
Corinne M.

Quick attentive service ! Juts popped in for a quick bite and it was live music night! What fun!!! Got my a great classic Guinness and a chicken pecan salad but the chicken was breaded!!! Ooh yum!! Wasn't packed , was enough seats for all but parking is another thing. Will totally come back!

Clam Chowder
Michelle M.

Finally checked out Brodie's after seeing it for years and unfortunately the food left me unimpressed. I started with their clam chowder which was good, but their fish tacos were not the best. Felt like ingredients thrown together and wasn't tasty. They did have a live band playing that night so the vibes were good but I didn't enjoy my entree. Our server also switched halfway through and no one said anything... Most people seem to come here for drinks, apps, and music--I'd definitely be willing to revisit to do this but maybe get dinner elsewhere.

Fish Tacos and Chicken Marsala
Joan M.

I wanted to get out for the night and was considering a few restaurants. This one had some good reviews and lots on the menu to choose from and prices were reasonable. I started with the clam chowder and it was very good. Then I had the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes and broccoli for my main meal. . It was pretty good. It came with a sauce on top with mushrooms. I used to this dish at all the time at another place that closed and other places since then serve it differently. It used to come with pasta like linguine but I like the mashed and vegetable to top it off. It was very good tasty. My daughter got the fish tacos with french fries. It wasn't the best she's had but was okay. There was live music so it was fun to listen to. They have music bingo on Thursday nights and entertainment on Friday through Sundays. It was very loud and I smelled smoke. Service was good. I would come back again.

Love Brodies Seaport so much!! I could go on and on, but I'll try to keep this short. Amazing staff, delicious food and LIVE music every Friday, Sat. & Sundays! Dance the night away or catch your favorite sporting event on one of the many tvs at the huge bar. Great outdoor seating as well. I'd give Brodies 10 stars if I could. But then again.... I can!

Came here to grab a late lunch after work. I ordered fish and i waited for like 15 minutes for it and it was fine, I went to pick up my order and it seemed quiet inside, there were only a couple people at the bar and there was one bar tender. He recognized me so that was good at least. When I grabbed my order it was just made I assume since its still hot. A little downside was the food is so pricey and the person was not really very friendly. Also, they didn't give me any cutlery and i had to brought it up to his attention which shouldn't be the case. My food was also watery, I think from the broccoli and seemed like they didnt strain the water good and was rushing. Im not sure if Ill be going back there

They also had it decorated really cool for Halloween!
Barry O.

Food was excellent! Halloween decor was really cool! They busy but not packed and our food came out about 15-20 mins after ordering which seems about standard. We did have the waitress, Lacey I believe her name was, check in on us from time to time and got great service from her. Overall I have to say, it beat my expectations in every category so I gotta give them 5 stars, and will definitely be back next year!!

Gluten sensitive fried seafood. That's fresh. Drool!!!! I don't get the negative reviews. I would recommend this place! If there are local clams on special get them! They are fresh!

Calamari
Michael S.

Salem was packed and stumbled upon this seafood restaurant. The calamari was amazing, crunchy cooked perfectly. PARMESAN BAKED HADDOCK was delicious and cooked perfectly as well. Also ordered the Pumpkin martini. Great service and matched the spooky theme of Salem.

Part of a kids chicken tenders and fries.
Susan F.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. We found this place as we were in Salem and gave it by a try. So glad we did! The food was good, reasonable prices and well worth it. Crab cake was $18 I believe and about the same for the pizza. Highly recommend! We sat outside on the patio.

Chicken parmigiana tortellini
Angel S.

Chicken parmigiana tortellini hit the spot. Live music to set the ambiance. Attentive and friendly staff. Would definitely return.

Shrimp Caesar Salad
Em B.

Came here for a bite to eat on the 4th of July. They had tables outside available, but it was about to start raining so we sat inside. There was a live band and a huge crowd, so much for an intimate dinner but there weren't a lot of options open. There also was limited seafood options on the menu. I ordered the Shrimp Caesar salad with Pesto Chicken Pizza, while my friend ordered Scallops. There was too much dressing, the shrimp was on the smaller side, and the food did take quite awhile. The Pesto chicken pizza was very oily, but it was one of the only options I'd eat on the menu. My friend was not totally pleased with the scallops. The music was so loud, we weren't able to have a conversation, even though we were on the other side of the restaurant. I guess that's what we get for not planning ahead. The staff was nice and the owner or manager inquired to how our meal was at the end. I just wanted to get out of there. But if you like really loud bands with good crowds, this is probably a great place for you.

Yukon Cornell band
Michael V.

The manager at Turners restaurant visited with us at our table and recommended we stop by his buddies' place, Brodies Seaport, for drinks and live music. He said we'd like it because the place pretty much catered to the older crowd looking for music from the 70's. Damn, what a great recommendation. We had a wonderful time listening to Yukon Connell, a more senior band with a great 70's sound. Anyway, if you are ever in Salem and want to relax to some good music and drinks, hit this place.

Brodies was a great place to have a beer and watch a basketball game. It wasn't super busy and the service was fast and friendly at the bar.

This is a no nonsense, no thrills, true blue fried seafood shack by the harbor. Is there indoor…read moreseating? No. Are there seagulls? Yes. Will you get a mosquito bite? Most definitely. It is a perfect New England summer experience. The fried seafood is the best you can get, the french fries are crisp on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and the tarter sauce is honestly the best ive had. The prices are on par with the price of seafood these days and so expect to spend around 50 bucks for three people. The food is incredible and came out fast. 10/10

My daughter and I spent a majority of our afternoon in Salem. After roaming the streets, checking…read moreout all the witch museums and novelty shops, we realized all we had this afternoon was a cup of coffee. We were starving so we looked up lobster roll near us and a shop next to the harbor popped up. So we made our way there. Unfortunately, it was a to go joint. We wanted to enjoy a site down meal so we looked again. The Clam Shack was near us so we made our way there. Parking our car, I'm looking at the shop and it honestly looked like a setting from a Hallmark movie. A cute little shop, in a park, with the harbor in the background with boats freely floating in the water, with the sun beaming through the fluffy clouds and people happily eating on bright blue tables. Like, how much more perfection could be added to this scene? It was simply breathtaking. We made our way to the window. A sweet young lady greeted us! It was wonderful having such great customer service right of the bat! I told the gal that I wanted a lobster roll. It was a must have being in Massachusetts! My daughter got a seafood plate with fried haddock and clams. We got a little of everything so we were excited to eat! It should be criminal to have this kind of food available to you all the time! To live by the water and have this kind of seafood makes me want to move here. My lobster roll looked like perfection wrapped in food paper. My daughter's plate was overflowing with fried goodness. Our food tasted as good as it looked! My lobster was mixed in butter on a soft buttery roll. Ughhhh it was heavenly! The lobster was tender, fresh and amazingly prepared. I tried a piece of my daughter's haddock and clams. You can't get seafood fresher than this. The haddock tasted like it was just caught and cooked. The fries were fried perfectly! Being from Idaho, this was the first place that has given us potatoes that I have approved of! Everything we so so so good! I couldn't have asked for a better last meal on my vacation in Boston. The food, the scene, the customer service and location of this seafood joint was something I could have ever dreamt of. My time eating here with my daughter will forever be a core memory for me. I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to come back but if I do, I hope my next visit is just as perfect as today's.

Really Good Food, Just Bring a Little Patience…read more It was 68° and one of those genuinely nice summer days, so we decided to eat outside at The Village Tavern. The patio was clean, quiet, and not overly crowded. No tables packed together, no one yelling over the next table, and no need to spend the meal trying to dodge somebody else's conversation. Just a nice, comfortable spot to eat. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive for most of the meal. The only issue was the timing. The food took a while to come out, which was a little surprising because it really wasn't that busy. Then, after we finished, I sat with empty plates in front of me for quite a while before finally getting her attention to ask for the check. I'm not asking for instant service, but once the food is gone, I'm usually ready to begin the portion of the meal where I leave. The two waits together were enough to cost a star. Fortunately, the food was very good. We started with the cheesy pretzel bites and avocado fries. Both were delicious and both disappeared pretty quickly. The pretzel bites came with herb butter, garlic, Parmesan, mozzarella, parsley and pomodoro sauce. Lots of cheese, plenty of flavor, and exactly the kind of appetizer that's going to be gone before anyone has had a chance to decide whether they want another one. The avocado fries were crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and just as good. My wife got the French dip and really liked it. The bread was toasted perfectly, the cheese was melted just right, and the au jus was hot and flavorful. Nothing fancy about it, just a really well-done French dip. The kids both got burgers. My son ordered his with ketchup only, but it came with mayo. He was not happy about that, and I can't really argue with him. If I order ketchup only, I'm also going to be wondering how mayo managed to make the cut. My daughter got the Rodeo Smash Burger with BBQ sauce and onion rings and loved it. Everybody got fries, and they were probably the most consistently good thing on the table. Cooked perfectly and seasoned well without being ridiculously salty. You could actually taste the potato, which feels like a reasonable expectation that restaurants occasionally treat as an ambitious request. I got the Cantina Short Rib Tacos, and these were easily my favorite. Shredded short rib, lettuce, salsa verde, pico de gallo, cilantro and sour cream. The short rib was tender, rich, and full of flavor, and the toppings worked really well together. The salsa verde and pico brought some acidity and freshness, the cilantro added another layer, and the sour cream balanced out the richness of the beef. Nothing overpowered anything else. Just really good tacos with a lot of flavor in every bite. The menu also had quite a few other things that caught my attention. The Reuben in particular. I noticed it after I'd already ordered, which is always unfortunate because now I have to come back and see if it was worth ignoring everything else for. There were several other things I'd happily try too. So, four stars. The food was very good, the patio was comfortable, and the service was friendly. The food took longer than it should have on a relatively quiet day, and waiting for the check after we were already finished didn't help. Neither ruined the meal, but both were noticeable. Clean up the timing a little and this would be an easy five.

This place is great. Large indoor and outdoor space, good food, good drinks, great service. Arcade…read moregames like golden tee, pop a shot, darts. It's a nice escape from Essex if you want to get fed and relax
