This is one of, if not the best sports bars in Salem. The food and atmosphere are absolutely wonderful. The staff are attentive and very kind. There is nothing quite like coming here to watch some sports and have the wharf in the background. It just feels like a home away from home. read more

Longboards is our absolute favorite place in Salem. Food is fabulous and the Lobster Flatbread is my goto any time of the day. The drinks are delicious and the servers are knowledgeable about the choices and are happy to spend time and joke around with us. Have company coming at the end of September and it's the first place we're heading to! read more

3.5 stars Longboard Restaurant has an unbeatable location right on the water. We sat outside watching the World Cup, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered a variety of dishes with mixed results. I really enjoyed the fish and chips, but my teens weren't fans of their pizzas. The lobster roll was OK, but felt overpriced for what you get. Overall, it's a good spot for families, couples, or larger groups, especially if you're looking to enjoy the view and waterfront setting. read more

Salem Massachusetts is a Gem all on its on. The LongBoards Restaurant and bar was a pet friendly and delightful surprise. The staff was outgoing and welcoming, the facility was clean, trendy, and vibrant. There was twenty some Televisions playing a wide array of sports. We ordered the Garlic Shrimp Tortellini and fish and chips. Both were perfectly cooked and fresh, fresh, fresh! The shrimps were larger prawn style and there as a fair amount in the meal! Did I mention the place is Dog Friendly!!? Well it is! They even offer a puppy menu!!!! 9/10! The place is pretty good, but the environment was a little too busy for me. read more

We had a fantastic time here. Locals and we don't really go out to places outside of our regular few but decided to head to longboards. Service was fantastic - Colin was personable and we look forward to seeing him again when we go back! The pretzels were great and stood out on top between that and the Big Mac quesadilla. Vibes were great, lots of regulars it seemed at the bar. I of course love that there is keno as well. Thank you longboards! read more

The bartenders ignored me for 10 minutes...yeah pass on this place! I would leave a food review but they couldn't be bothered with my order. Since the owner of the business is butt hurt, let me clarify, the bartender, while they may have been busy could have acknowledged the customer. The did their best to not even make eye contact lol I value customer service, this place clearly does not. read more

A rrived on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It was a good day out so it was very cold inside. Looked at the menu ahead of time so I chose this place because I wanted the French dip. Unfortunately, they were out of the item for the day so I had to choose something else. I got the chicken house quesadilla and the person I came with got the hot honey chicken sandwich. The quesadilla was okay, not a lot of flavor. The hot honey chicken sandwich was good as well as the fries. Overall, everything was just okay. The server was very attentive and nice. Two out of three bathroom stalls are very tight, but clean. read more

We went on valentine's day in the morning. I love the location of it, especially being in Salem near the water and the boats look like they're frozen in time. It gives very bar food and bar ambiance. I love that. They have some games for the kids, but the game wasn't working properly. The chicken fingers that my son got were just okay and kind of lacked a new flavor. The chicken sandwich I got was good, but would definitely not be back for that because again it wasn't anything special. The raspberry lime ricky drink was good, but I really wish they had a frozen mudslide cocktail. The server was attentive and nice so no complaints there. I love that the ice sculptures were still out. read more

Longboards is a go-to restaurant of ours in Salem. They are located right on the water which has great views. The food is varied so lobster, sandwiches, entrees, and specialties are all available. They even have a snack attack late night menu. Their outdoor patio is dog friendly. Definitely stop by Longboards for good drinks, good food, good service, and a good time!! read more

Had lunch here and the location is superb! The food was good, my son raved about his lobster quesadilla! My husband got the lobster roll and clam chowder, both were also excellent! The reason for the 4 stars is I ordered the tips and tails which is their version of surf and turf. The steak was delicious! I really enjoyed it! But my lobster was so sad.. you can see how cooked to death it was in the picture. Hardly any meat and so cooked that it was glued to the shell! Difficult to remove. I'm convinced they took my lobster for my husband's lobster roll bc there was no shortage of lobster there? Also, my broccoli had so much salt and lemon that it was overwhelming, Tasted like the rind of a lemon, very bitter?! I would order the steak tips by themselves 100 times over. Just disappointed being seaside and that was their best lobster:( read more

Excellent lobster flatbread! Go for this! The crust was crunchy but not too thin and has their own special cheese blend. The flavors were on point! He ordered a Boilmaker, which is a beer with a shot that you drop into the beer. Managers,just remember to tell your servers how that's done, because my husband was served a beer bottle and a shot on the side. It was the wrong beer as well and they corrected it but, we had to explain how to serve it and then they got us a glass. ;) otherwise it's very much like a dive bar feel on a Florida beach. read more

I just ordered the Leviathan lobster sandwich and it was horrible. it lacked any flavor, needed more mayo, and the bread that the lobster was on was practically stale no flavor dry. The onion rings that came with. It were obviously frozen and the oil tasted like it was from yesterday or earlier in the week. For anyone looking for a lobster sub you're better off going to D'Angelo's. It's way better than this. read more

It was such a beautiful Saturday to enjoy dining outdoors! At Longboards we had a great view, our waiter was awesome, constantly checking up on us and food was very good! I mean it's bar food but it was good! They had gluten free options, marked on the menu which made it much easier to order. I thought prices were pretty good too. Can't complain ! As we walked out we went indoor and it was louder as people were celebrating birthdays and drinking , watching games! If you like that upbeat ambiance than you might like Longboards! read more

Followed with an entree since it was such a pleasant experience for the bar top. A little slow on a Monday night, but I'm grateful they're open! Had the Lobster flatbread and lobster caprese. Succulent lobster, delicious seasoning, up there among the best pizza plates I've had in a long time. (Calamari pizza at Boca in the south end takes first). Tasty, not too pricey despite the touristy vibe. I'll be back, regularly. read more

overall a great experience! Our server was very kind and they checked to see where we would prefer to sit, outside under an umbrella or in the porch area. we chose under an umbrella. our server came over about 2-5 mins later and greeted us and asked what we wanted to drink, we got some mocktails and a cocktail. all were good strawberry lemonade, strawberry and club soda with lemon, and a strawberry lemon drop. we got pretzel sticks to start they came out hot with beer cheese, mustard, and honey mustard. very tasty and you get 4 of them. then for our entrees we got the lobster quesadilla, bbq brisket quesadilla (gf), and a chicken caesar wrap with fries. the fries were so tasty and perfectly salted. we later got wings-habanero peach and greek. the habanero peach sauce was delightful and spicy but sweet. the only thing I didn't like was the bees that came around but we were outside and definitely can't get away from that. Overall great experience, good food, and fabulous service! read more

Another 5 star meal at Longboards Thursday!! Fish and chips are great! I can tell fish is good when I don't need any tartar sauce!! My wife had your yummy burger and lived it! Bartenders make the best Painkillers. read more

Sat at the bar with my gf. Great service from a very friendly bartender who made my girl an awesome lemondrop martini. We just wanted a quick bite and split an order of hotdogs (who would have thought) and they were the best dogs I have ever had. Have eaten there several times with my daughter and the food and service is always great. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great bartenders! My go-to restaurant bar whenever I'm in town!!

We sat outside on a beautiful afternoon and had a late lunch. The server was so friendly and welcoming and made great suggestions. We had a variety or sandwiches and salads and started with a few apps. Everything was delicious (good drinks too). Seems like a fun place to come back to for dinner or for a game watch. Great vibes. Loved it! read more

The service was wonderful. Our server Emilyse was attentive and kind. The food was good too! It's a nice location with waterside views and comfortable atmosphere. The reason for two stars is due to a female employee from the kitchen wearing blue-ish crocks (with jibbitz) and a floral apron not washing their hands after using the restroom. She was in the stall next to me and strolled out after flushing the toilet. Disgusting. This was 7/29 around 5pm. I don't care if she was headed to take out the trash. Wash your hands!! read more

It was just okay, nothing special as far as food goes. If you want to sit on the water though they have a lovely outside area. Service was good and the wait was no long. read more

Went for a late night bite with my family. (party of 6). 4 of us from out of town We were seated outside where the view was just amazing! Loved the view of the whatf Our waitress was very nice, recommended doses and drinks to try. The food and drinks were very good, especially for being later in the evening. Was a very nice way to end the day! Will definitely go back on my next trip to Salem read more

loved sitting on the patio by the water late night! It was so pretty with the string lights and the lobster roll was massive! (Perfect for the two of us to split). The staff was so sweet and explained everything we asked and accommodated to us asking to sit outside:) read more

We had gone for the first time The food was not good it wasn't cooked well and not very tasty not a good first time visit The manager was kind enough to refund our money. Oh well Won't be going back. It's too fast food for my taste read more

While I would recommend this place to anyone for any type of meal, bar or small function, I was underwhelmed with my steak tip sized portion for the price($28). Everyone(6 of us) in our party enjoyed every part of their meal. We found everything to be clean even in the common areas restaurants normally overlook. Our server was attentive, positive and on point. We stopped in on a busy Saturday late afternoon. While it was a bit loud at that time we were able to enjoy conversation in our group. read more

I am disgusted with the lack of service that is was received my the management staff at Longboards. We had a reservation for 15 adults- all well over the age of 30( some broaching 50) when we showed up for our reservation a gentleman at the hostess stand refused to sit our party indicating that a male in our party appear to to be too intoxicated. I politely indicated to him that this individual was handicap ( Arthrogriposis) and generally does not stand steady. He then replied that he refuses to seat us. Many people in our party then indicated that we had made reservations at this respective restaurant to eat dinner- he refused to seat our party. This unacceptable assumption that made by this gentleman perceived to be something that was not factual. This is sheer discrimination and frankly distasteful lack of human regard for those individuals with disabilities. I then placed a phone call to express my concerns out of earshot from our handicap family member- I was hung up on 2x ( names I will not disclose). I am still waiting a phone call back from this establishment in order to TRY to explain their explanation as to WHY this was done. read more

I really like long boards and that is why I have come here two days in a row. Yesterday I took my daughter here and we had the best server, we sat outside. It was beautiful, and the food was great.

I cant say enough bad things about this place. Rude bartender, filthy bathroom, inattentive service, "trendy" trash bar food ... No thanks!

Came here last night for dinner and it was really delicious! I also love the new location very spacious and inviting. A wide selection of alcoholic drinks and other goodies. I had the garlic cheese breadsticks for an appetizer and steak tips with mashed potatoes. Very delicious and had a very lovely waitress. I do wish they would have more dessert choices on the menu but other than that, it was a really good time! read more

Food took forever, server never checked on us, the food was prepared wrong, mediocre food all around. Would never come back or recommend.

EDIT: I gave it another star because the server did remove the quesadilla. However, I think when a customer says something is gross, that should clue the server to get the manager to come speak with the customer. Additionally, it wasn't just the inch-thick melted cheese that was off; it had no chipotle flavor at all. Finding out the quesadilla was removed at the time of check is not how that should have been handled. Secondly, the owner's comment below does not address the other issues like the unseasoned clam chowder and the fact that there is no other hot sauce for her to help the chowder but mango, which would not have worked! ________________________________________________________________________ Here now. Ordered chipotle quesadillas and only the end pieces were edible. It was over stuffed with way too much cheese. Not even good cheese. My friends chowder was watery and no seasoning. She asked for hot sauce for it and the said they only had their brand of mango hot sauce which of course would not taste good in the chowder. Waiter asked if I wanted box for mine and I told him no it was gross. He didn't care at all. Probably won't be back. The waiter did come with check and took off the quesadilla read more

The whole "Salem experience" was underwhelming, so at the end of our day I was kind of expecting another disappointing experience. I was wrong! Our party of 5 was seated immediately, and while it wasn't the GREATEST view of the water, it was still a view of the water. 4 orders of lobster rolls and 1 order of lobster-mac-without-peas (which our server said was the most common request-- maybe someone should tell the chef??) and they were all delicious. TONS of claw meat. The fries were really nice, especially with some malt vinegar that our server happily supplied. It wasn't cheap (although I don't know going rates in the neighborhood-- maybe it was, compared to the rest?), but it was honestly my favorite part of my visit. read more

Nice all-purpose American eatery/drinkery overlooking the water and with a deck to boot. Probably a 3.5, but it gets the nudge to 4 based on the view, on the versatility, on being a little better than a typical tourist trap joint, and on having free parking around the corner. Mango Habanero Wings: Not as spicy as the menu would suggest, but crisp, juicy, tender, mostly sweet, and piping hot. I'd get these again and try others too. Burger: Shortrib/brisket blend had a premium flavor, but it was the impressive shaping, seasoning and cooking that mattered more. Beautiful crust, seasoning, and tender, juicy interior that revealed a very gentle grind and pink hue. Good feel. Brioche bun a little whitebread-like and voluminous, but not a dealbreaker. Onion Rings on the side seemed to be a ho-hum industrial frozen variety. But the burger itself was solid. Veggie Burger: My wife's order looked good. Didn't try it but I did try a few of the potato slices/chips that came with it. Not much taste. I go to places based on the apps and mains, not the sides, so the underwhelming rings and potatoes carry less weight than the wings and burger. Good atmosphere. I'd go back again. read more

This place is great! It's big and clean. It's right on the water. Big bar. Lots of tables inside. They also have games (pop a shot, skew ball ...) . They even have couches! There is also a lot of outside seating on a deck overlooking g the water. Big drink selection. Fast and friendly service. We didn't eat but all the food we saw looked really good. Their dart set up, the reason we were there, is excellent! read more

The fries were amazing and nothing like I've ever had! They were crispy but also soft. And had the perfect amount of salt. And it had the perfect view of the wharf. They have a dog menu as well, that had items of free water, bacon and cheese, and chicken and lettuce. And the service was all quick and peppy. read more

Walked in with a group of 7 and they were able to take us right away. Our server was great, unfortunately I do not remember his name. We all shared the cheesy stix and I ordered the leviathan with a cup of chowder. The chowder was delicious and thick. The leviathan lived up to its name. This massive roll was just what I wanted (but would love an option for a hot!!). Obviously couldn't finish it in one sitting, so I brought it back to our rental house and had a lovely late night treat. read more
