Our only real option was two seats at the bar. We had quick and attentive service from the bartender. Interesting offerings for cocktails, and we enjoyed our drinks. The food I think can be best described as American/Thai/Asian. Food came pretty fast, and we started with crab rangoon, and possibly the largest we have ever been served. Fried up crisp, not greasy and generously filled with cream cheese and real crab. Next up, we tried the Waygu burger which was quite good, nice toppings. My only complaint here was we wished the fries were fresh out of the fryer. I'm really fussy about fries and like them hot, crispy and fresh. Sadly, these were not. I had my eye on the Choco Taco for dessert, and this was a sophisticated version of the classic frozen treat you may have enjoyed from the ice cream truck as a kid. Home made with great ingredients, it was a perfect finish to a very nice meal. I would definitely give these guys a try when in Newburyport.

Great view and the umbrellas over each table allow you to enjoy the outdoors. We ordered a burger and a tomato and cheese sandwich, both were excellent and some of the best fries I have tasted came with both. Will definitely be back for dinner some evening.

Price was good considering you are in the heart of Newburyport. Highly recommend.

My husband had the chipotle ranch chicken. My burger was decent. The bacon was smoked...no crunch, but it was good. . The fries were really interesting, I really enjoyed them. My husband was not a fan of his. First, the top bun was flipped...we have no idea why. The breading came off of the chicken after the first bite. The sandwich had no flavor. He wondered if he read it correctly, because he did not taste any heat, yet it is called "chipotle ranch...". Why do we fear heat? Also, the bacon jam spilled all over his plate. He did not eat it. Very messy.

** Burger and Donut Review **…read more Outstanding space with a rustic modern look, a 4-sided bar, balanced seating (booths, tables, high-tops), an outdoor patio, and a private room. My wife and I had the pleasure of sitting in seats more akin to living room furniture-- that's a good thing. Also good was the breeze that blew in from the deck on a hot day. -- Blackened Cod Sandwich: This was my wife's lunch and it looked very good, with a brioche bun, and no shortage of condiments. Most importantly, the tall portion of fish was very moist and very well seasoned. My small taste didn't have the classic "blackened" vibe, but it was very good. A mini basket of fries provided plenty. Probably frozen, but good quality and a good balance between crisp and droopy. -- Dry Aged Burger: As a burger aficionado, that's what I came for, and a dry aged one-- a rarity around Boston, sadly-- gets my attention immediately. This one, ordered medium rare, brought a decent crust and decent moistness inside, though both could be more pronounced. It was probably closer to medium than medium rare, and the brioche bun was a white bready under the dome, but it worked. The dry aged flavor came through immediately. Good supporting cast among the sauces and vegetation, and same fry basket treatment as on my wife's plate. Overall, good instead of the hoped-for great. -- Donuts: We came at brunch, so this was a nice option for us to treat as a dessert. My opening came when I saw another server walk by with a plate and I asked her upon returning, "What was that plate of meatball-looking things?" She said those were the apple cider donut bites, and proceeded to gush that they were her favorite thing on the menu and a don't-miss item. This prevented me from having to twist my wife's arm, so it was a done deal. The "bites" were fairly large, closer to baseball size than golfball size, with a nice thick outer crunch yielding to a very warm, still-moist-but-fully-cooked interior. Delicious cinnamon flavor on the outside, natural donut dough flavor inside, and kicked up by a thin, cinnamon-maple sauce underneath and a whipped cream (they called it and vanilla anglaise) on the sides. Fantastic, and in an era when "artisan" donuts run $5 apiece even out of a fridge, getting six warm ones of higher quality for $12 was a steal. The burger was closer to good than great, but overall a good meal, good service, great space, and surprisingly good value (on all three items). I'd be interested to try them for dinner.

The waitress Kathie.... was more than accommodating, she was on the go... if we needed something before I could look for her she was there and ready to help.

He's very friendly, organized, professional and a phenomenal communicator (always made himself available for a phone call and responsive via email). We had tremendous confidence in him and it's one of the main reasons why we chose the venue.

All of our 100+ guests raved to us how beautiful the venue was and the food (food comes from the restaurant downstairs - go there for dinner!). Thank you again Nik along with all of the wonderful staff. We will always remember you all and your generosity making a rainy day nothing short of perfect!

We arrived on a cold damp afternoon and quickly joined a few regulars at the bar. Conversations were started and the cocktails flowed. They do have some great local craft beers and a full bar with a few high end liquors like Eagle Rare and Grey Goose. My desert dry Goose martini with a twist was perfect. Plus 1 said her Paloma was perfect as well. We could have spent the entire afternoon here hangin with the regulars and getting toasty but alas we had dinner reservations. We did stop by after dinner for a nightcap and the Whale was rocking to a live band and they were packed on a Wednesday night no less. Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" song could have easily been written for the Whale!

She explained special was 18oz ribeye with roasted brussel sprouts, baked potato & onion strings for $68. Hubby & I decided to split this meal. Pre-ordered 2 salads which were decent. When time to order, waiter said special was 18oz ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Explained what front desk woman had stated special to be and we wanted what she explained. Because of this & other changes to meals, I kindly asked him to write the orders down. He said, "no worries I got this." Guess what, he didn't got it. Female companion ordered Sesame Bowl with salmon. Our $68 meal came -- potato was starchy (old) and not warm. Brussel sprouts were hard. The meat--no way was it an 18oz (even cooked down) piece of meat. Was cut very thin & barely enough for one person. Didn't receive onion strings. Female companion got her sesame bowl, but WITHOUT the salmon. Had to wait another 10min because we kept hearing "the kitchen was backed up". Really bad performance with $300+ bill to show for it. Wouldn't mind paying if it was worth it, but they really missed the mark. I emailed restaurant to explain situation, but never heard from them, so need to share my experience via YELP. Sorry MOG we won't be back, but need to share the final nail in the coffin---there was gum under the table where I sat (2nd seat in from the left if facing circular table). Just gross.

The best subs I've ever had!…read more I don't usually do reviews but this establishment is worth the drive. I had "The Bucciarelli" on a baguette while my wife had "The Caprese" also on the baguette. We got there before going to the beach. Three hours after we purchased them both sandwiches were still crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The meats in my sandwich were premium quality, piled high, and individually delicious. We only ate half the sandwiches that day and the other half the next day. This place has established a new benchmark for what a good sub should be for me. As far as the cost. They were expensive. But absolutely worth every penny. Finally the service was really great. I highly recommend this Salisbury Location! -PFB

Upon entry, I noticed the location was very well organized and clean. The wrap-around cases of meat, take and go, all kinds of grill items (chicken, steak, tips, burgers, sausage) and then the butcher, ready to cut whatever you need. Boars Head meats are available, which are my favorite. A wall of drinks from craft beer, soda and water to name just a few were cold and ready for purchase. I ordered my favorite....a roast beef panini with yellow mustard, pickles and caramelized onions on a ciabatta roll. My brother ordered his favorite, a turkey sub with mustard and lettuce. Again, both sandwiches had Boars Head meat. The staff was ready to take orders. There was plenty of employees willing to help and answer any questions that we had. As I said earlier, it was busy but the customers were managed very well. I have to share a story. My former favorite spot for my roast beef panini was the Corner Store, Chatham. However, after COVID, they decided to discontinue there panini's, which was an absolute heartbreaker! I have never had a bad sandwich there! I have spent a long time trying to find a comparable sandwich and I finally have! My panini here at Bucciarelli's matches the Corner Store! It was awesome....warm, fresh bread....delicious roast beef and the perfect amount of mustard, pickle and caramelized onions! I plan to make my way back for sure! My brother enjoyed his turker sandwich, as well. He is a new fan, too! Finally, I found some incredible Irish Potato chips, which I have never seen before. They are not Utz, Lays or Wachusetts.....check out my picture! BBQ chips were really good! Keoghs We took some pictures which give a good view of the location. Parking was easy. I was able to pull in front of the store and there was approximately 6-8 spots available. 5-stars!
