We are dinner here. Deviled egg appetizer and pretzel app. Both were very tasty.My husband ordered Big Mac tacos and it was plenty of food for him. He liked them. Descent portion sizes. My daughter enjoyed her grilled cheese. I ordered sliders that came with fries and tiny milk shake. (Which my child said was delicious) I got a sip it was good.5 people with dinner drinks and apps for $160It's a good deal I think. No pictures we were too hungry.

Stopped by for a quick lunch on St. Patrick's Day. Expected to wait for a while, but the food came really quickly and was very tasty. Service was top notch. No notes!

If you are looking for a fun atmosphere, comically named food and drinks, and a great place for a big group, then look no further.

Came to the restaurant after a wrestling tournament…. Place was fantastic! Our waitress Jenna provided the best service! Our drinks and food came out so fast it was unbelievable! Even more impressive being a Friday evening. The portions were huge and the food was some of the best we’ve had! The manager even made rounds to check on each table! I highly recommend this place for both quality and service!

Drove 3 hours for the Harry Potter brunch. The atmosphere was awesome, but the food was truly terrible!! Everything was tasteless (even the butter beer!!!), the fried chicken breading was SUPER soggy, the mushrooms were not fresh, the popovers were burnt, and the homefries were odd and so greasy they gave me heartburn even medicine couldn’t cure…. That’s a first!!The decorations were fun and Harry Potter themed, and a lot of other guests dressed up so it was a great atmosphere. The servers didn’t though. They had a special menu that was HP themed and decorated nicely, but some of the options were a bit strange. I’d recommend keeping whatever the regular favorite dishes are and just renaming those to HP themed names.Lastly, we had made reservations at 10 am and they opened their doors late. There was a lot of us standing outside waiting in the cold. Even when they did unlock the door, the girl held the door open but wouldn’t let us in for a minute or two, until the manager looking gentlemen finally said “come on in.”

Our server, Dakota, was a pleasure to work with. He gave us solid recommendations and we loved everything we had. When we first walked in there was a silent and very grumpy man at the host stand. He blankly looked at us without speaking until we said "Hi we have 3 for dinner". He replied with "high or low seats" and then grumbled to his colleague to seat us. I think he was a manager and certainly did not make us feel welcome. This place still deserves 5 stars because of Dakota and OMG those nachos!

Came here for a birthday brunch. There was 8 of us at a high top. We had breakfast appetizers (deviled eggs, biscuits and sausage rolls), and an assortment of meals- chicken & waffles, huevos rancheros, friend chicken sandwich, chicken biscuit, veggie bowl.Our server Brian was great, the food was pretty good, and we all liked the atmosphere.Note: please add hooks under your high top tables for coats and purses! ????

Me and my husband ordered from here and picked it up. We ordered around 6:30pm on a Saturday and we only had a 15-20 minute wait even though when we showed up the place as packed. I got the salmon dinner which was amazing! I also got their clam chowed which was really good. My husband got a burger and fries and he said it was a really good burger! We will definitely eat here again next time were in Salem.
