So we made sure to try it out for dinner. We didn't make reservations and you need to. So we sat at the bar. The bartender- Sean was friendly! He made our last dinner night in Salem great.

I wasn't a fan of the sangria but I'm not a drinker, but he made my daughter a virgin cactus margarita and she loved it. We sat with 2 others at the bar and they were a pleasure to talk to as well. Definitely recommend!! We will be back next year!

If you know, you know. The Modern Butcher's legendary North Shore beef sandwich is one of those…read morerare finds that absolutely lives up to the hype. I got there around 10:15 a.m. and there was already a line forming down the block -- by the time they opened at 10:45, the crowd was buzzing with anticipation (and caffeine). The staff moved things efficiently once the doors opened, and watching them prep those perfectly pink slices of beef in the open kitchen made the wait fly by. I ordered the North Shore 3-Way ($16.85 with tax): tender roast beef piled high on a fresh onion roll, dripping with just the right amount of BBQ sauce and mayo. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth perfection -- smoky, tangy, and so ridiculously juicy you'll need a stack of napkins. The whole experience felt like a community event -- people chatting in line, the staff smiling despite the rush, and that unmistakable smell of beef and toasted buns filling the air. Come prepared to wait, but it's beyond worth it. Pro tip: get there before 10:30 on Saturdays if you want to score one without a massive queue. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. North Shore royalty.

But as we can't try them all in one visit, we ordered two of the Citrus Blueberry Corn Slices and two Sticky Bun Lattes (iced and hot). Those corn slices I can write home about. Or better yet, post about it on Yelp! They were moist and not crumbly, the blueberries added an extra pop of juicy flavor and paired so well. It was the perfect snack. The Sticky Bun Lattes were a great warm up for the opposing grey rain sky. Sweet hot caffeine, is there anything better?

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.

The entire meal of food + drink was perfectly filling post-run. Seating isn't ample, but there are options---countertop at the window for people-watching, or cozier seating by the back wall. It's definitely in a central location of Salem and I can see this place being a local favorite!
