Seriously, this hidden gem in downtown Danvers has such a good vibe, with great music. The bar and tables are polished clean, I saw the waitstaff doing it. The CHEF is amazing (homemade potato chips are a must) and the owners are always there to greet you.

Ah, I completely forgot I had already reviewed this place but here's an updated review! It was just…read moreas good as the first time. 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!

My family decided to spend the afternoon in Salem and wanted a late lunch. In looking at different…read moreplaces, Mercy Tavern had a good menu so we decided to stop. We arrived around 3:00 on a Thursday. We were able to get an inside seat. Two people were working and both appeared to be fairly attentive. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. My wife and I both had PBR drafts. My youngest son and I both had Steak Tips and garlic fries. My wife had grilled cheese and my oldest son had fish tacos. Everything was good, fries were extremely garlicky. I wish they would have given more steak. Service was good, food was good, and prices were fair. I would recommend and return.

They also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice option when the weather is nice. If you're planning to go during peak dinner hours, I definitely recommend making a reservation.

The food is good, but the service is lackluster. We had a subpar experience a few months ago and…read moredecided to give it another shot. This time was worse. While there are gluten free options, I was served gluten during both visits. The first time was the wrong pasta. The kitchen made me a new meal. The second attempt was fine, but my table ate while I waited and then I ate alone when my food did come. This time we ordered a gluten free pizza as an app. We received a regular pizza. We were told that we would be comped for the mistake and a gluten pizza was on the way. Neither statement was true. An hour after we ordered, after we had completed our meal, we were told the kitchen was backed up and asked if we still wanted the gluten free pizza. We declined because we just wanted to leave at the point, but the regular pizza was still on the bill. We paid it - it's fine. As a member of the gluten-free/celiac community, I would caution others to be extra careful here. We really wanted to like this restaurant, but the very slow service (a hour before we received any food) coupled with the allergy mistakes make it tough to consider again.

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!!!

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

No problem, sometimes this happens so we keep waiting for our food. Turns out there was an error with their order so they send it back. We wait another 10 minutes and see someone come out with food thinking it was ours. Surprise! It's not. They had time to remake an entire order before serving us anything. After over 30 minutes of waiting for 3 omelets we ask to pay for our drinks and cancel our order, because we aren't thieves, and the manager comes out to complete the transaction. She doesn't even ask what happened or why we wanted to cancel the order. If you don't pass the paper bag test, I'd consider skipping this place.
