The interior is warm and welcoming with wood accents. Seated in a booth in the bar area we settled in and ordered some drinks. I got my usual tequila soda, my husband wanted a chocolate martini, and my sister in law decided on a French martini, something that my husband likes to get and she decided to try. The drinks were very good! The entrees we chose were the baby back ribs, a "classic burger", and the chicken Marsala. Everything we tried was delicious! The ribs were a very large portion and cooked to fall-off-the-bone perfection. My burger was very tasty and came with the biggest onion rings ever. So good! The chicken Marsala was as good as any ever eaten in any "Little Italy" . The server was very prompt and efficient. As a matter of fact, the staff all seemed to be relaxed and were working like a well oiled machine. We had a great experience and hope to return there whenever we are back in the Boston area.

The burger is THAT good…read more Came here on a Saturday in October. Party of 2 during lunch time and we got seated in 15 minutes. Had to try the burger cause I heard about it online. Oh. My. God. The burger really is that good. Hands down the best burger I've ever tasted. It was juicy but not pink or red. The jam was the perfect amount- enough so i could taste it but it did not overwhelm the burger (coming from a hard core jam lover). Despite the juiciness from the burger, the bun was not soggy. Fries were pretty good. Cole slaw was nothing to write home about. We tried going back for a SECOND BURGER on a Monday but their hours are different so we couldn't. So good I didn't even get a picture. If anyone was to ask me a restaurant to recommend in Salem, this would be it.

We had the nachos (do yourself a favor and buy only a half order because it's HUGE). They were so good and I didn't even have enough room for more food after that. Service was attentive and good! I got the "Summer Fling" cocktail and it was truly one of the best cocktails I've had in quite sometime. I had a couple of them and honestly, could have continued throwing them down if I knew I didn't need to be in decent shape the next day. The live music was fantastic too. All-in-all, still a cozy and great vibe here. I hope to go there again soon!

The Berry Tavern and staff absolutely nailed it!The moment we walked in, we were greeted by Ashley, who was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The restaurant had a great energy--there was live music and a packed dance floor on one side, but we were seated in a nice, private corner on the other side that was perfect for catching up.We started with the pumpkin Moscow mules, which were delicious! We skipped appetizers and went straight to the main courses. I ordered the Benevento's chicken, and it was cooked to perfection with a hint of lemon--chef's kiss! The portions were huge, and I was thrilled to have leftovers for the next day. The rest of our group ordered the scallop plate, chicken parm with ravioli, and chicken marsala. Every single dish was a massive hit.Our waitress was so sweet and helpful with a few menu substitutions. In fact, my California family loved the food so much they joked about buying a cooler just to fly some back home with them! Thank you to the Berry Tavern and staff. We will absolutely see you soon!

I told the young waitress I didn't like it..she offered nothing..didn't suggest anything..not sure how to handle the situation..but finally suggested some soda bread?? To make up for the soggy mess I was trying to choke down?? Then slowly backed away from the table all wide eyed! No discount or removal of the pot pie from the bill. The soda bread was good And the drinks were great ..first round..but second round..tasted and looked noticeably different. We still had fun but Geezo..I wanted a nice meal with my friend..especially for that price!!!

Maggie's Farm is a special place for my husband and me. We celebrated both our first and second…read morewedding anniversaries here. Eight years later, we decided to come back and celebrate our 10th anniversary, and wow, has this place changed! It looks completely different! I love the renovations and how cozy everything feels now. However, one thing I do miss about the old Maggie's Farm is how isolated it used to feel. You could practically smell the barn in the air LOL. Back then, it had more of that countryside feel, whereas now there are so many commercial businesses along the road. It's definitely a different atmosphere. Unfortunately, when it came to the food, we were both a little disappointed. We started with the nachos, which we rated a 4/5. The chips were a little too toasted, and the chicken was also on the dry side, making it a bit difficult to chew. My husband ordered the mac and cheese with buffalo chicken and rated it a 3/5. He wasn't a fan of the Ritz cracker topping because he felt it threw off the overall taste of the mac and cheese. I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl and gave it a 2/5. Unfortunately, it just wasn't tasty to me, and I probably wouldn't order it again. Despite the food not meeting our expectations this time around, Maggie's Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts because of the memories we've made here. We're glad we came back for our 10th anniversary, and hopefully, our next visit will be a better experience! We'll give it another try in the future.

We went into the Double Bull and saw just how much space it has. The bar area isn't huge, but it was decent and the TV's, showing a baseball game at the time were large, but silent so that people could actually talk to each other. My brother and I each ordered the fried chicken sandwich.... And they were awesome: far better that those fast-food places and better than "Flip the Bird". The fries were fresh and served hot and the sandwiches themselves were stacked high with tomatoes and pickles, as I had ordered. ($17.00). We were very pleased with the lunch and would go back in a heart-beat. With sodas, taxes, and tip, the whole bill was $54.00

We ordered buffalo wings, truffle fries and a Caesar salad, of which all were good. I liked that the buffalo wings weren't overly saucy and the truffle fries were nicely tossed and the Caesar salad had just enough dressing and the lettuce was very fresh. Seating was close but spaced enough! The lighting wasn't super bright and service was awesome. It was very much Halloween Decor and relived it. "Derek" our server was attentive, courteous, and pleasant . Not sure about parking, as I parked in an (All Day) parking garage close by, parking in Salem close to Halloween is hectic. However: food and services were awesome. This Tavern is located inside the Hawthorne Hotel.

I have been to the Tavern a few times. All during busy October weekends. I have to share this…read moretime was the worst experience I have had at the Hawthorne. Why I like the Hawthorne for lunch: 1. A lot of people walk by without knowing there is a restaurant inside so not as long of a wait 2. It's quaint and has good food (usually) 3. I enjoy telling my kids that people believe it's haunted 4. Great location next to the commons! What happened this time? 1. My husband ordered the french onion grilled cheese and added a piece of . Sounded great! It arrived with bread as hard as a rock. 2 tiny slivers of onion, an extremely small portion of cheese not even really melted like a grilled cheese should be and the added extra chicken was a chicken cutlet! My husband did speak up and the waitress was very kind. 2. I ordered the Bagon Blue burger with fig jam on the side. The goal was to share the two meals. My husband doesnt like fig but it's my thing! The burger came smothered in fig. They did pay for all our food and we just paid for drinks which was good customer service but my husband still walked away hungry as if we waited another half hour for food we would lose more time out in the streets having fun. It just wasn't the best visit.
