Longboards Restaurant Bar - Salem

I tried their lobster roll, and it was incredibly fresh. They don't drown the lobster in sauce, which allows the natural flavor to shine through. The tater tots were perfectly cooked and came with a tasty, slightly spicy dipping sauce. The drinks were also a generous size. Everyone at our table absolutely loved the dessert this restaurant offers. It has a special name, but it's essentially a giant chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet. They serve it hot, topped with ice cream, and drizzled with caramel and hot fudge. It was fantastic!

Recently I’ve been trying to go out more to bars and Restaurants as the Covid 19 pandemic settles down. My girlfriend and I live next door to Salem and decided to take a night out and get something to eat. After looking at highly reviewed places, we stumbled across Longboards. With great reviews and photos we decided to give it a shot. Upon entrance we were greeted by a host who seated us immediately at a high table. Following that we were provided a menu and assistance to access the drink menu via QR code. We decided to go on a night that the Celtics were playing so we knew to expect a decent crowd. The bar energy was great along with people at other tables watching the game and socializing. Im relatively new to the bar experience but this was something I was highly comfortable being a part of. Didn’t feel like we stuck out of the crowd at all. The service was quick as we ordered food and drinks. The 10 piece buffalo wings were a 8/10 (could’ve been a little crispier) and the burgers were a 7/10 (could’ve been a bit thicker of a patty. was also a little dry). I ordered a Shipwrecked (Ro Co Whisky, Koval Ginger Liqueur, Lemonade Sprite) which was strong even after it was mixed and watered down which gives it a rating of 7/10. What makes this experience a 4/5 stars is the great service and the lively atmosphere. A little more work can be put into the food and drinks but overall I’m not walking away with a bad experience. I can definitely see myself coming back here and would recommend for anyone looking for a good place for a night out on the town. Thank you to the staff for the great experience and look forward to coming back again! Best, Benjamin P.

I went during Halloween, so the waiting time was like 2 hrs avg, and the service comprehensive slow. But it was really good. I had a hamburger and chowder, both tasty. The personnel was really nice, the place is not expensive at all. They suggested this local beer which is amazing ! I totally would come back.

Food was really good, service was great and atmosphere was super cute. Ordered the lobster roll with chowder and the pretzel bites as an app. Lobster roll was super stuffed with lobster and chowdwe was very yummy! Pretzel bites themselves were really good but I wasn't the biggest fan of the beer cheese. Overall worth the visit if you are in the area.

Food, service and atmosphere all excellent. Only one dessert on the menu and they don’t need anymore, because it was off the chart amazing!!
