    cheeseburger + fries
    Em B.

    I stopped in to try their burger seeing as I have been craving their fries, and it was alright; not my favorite but I forgot to ask for medium-rare, and I didn't finish it. But the fries are fantastic and I'll come back for them when I have the craving, and their mac n cheese is really good. Their sangria was alright as well but no fruit; they were willing to add fresh fruit but it wouldn't be the same. Cara was great and very attentive, serving while also training a new employee. All of the staff were asking me if I wanted anything else, but I just really wanted the fries. It was a slow, early night so I'm sure they were overly attentive. I haven't tried the board games (yet), will update when/if I do. ambience: 4.5/5 food: 4/5 service: 5/5 The Castle: 4.5/5

    My cousin and I needed to kill some time prior to checking into our Airbnb and stumbled upon this place. The servers were super polite. We were first timers and they explained how the cafe worked and were patient as we read through the entire menu. It was nice eating somewhere that I didn't feel rushed to get in and out. We ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and chicken tenders and fries. Both were good. I was so full or else I would have ordered the basket of chocolate chip cookies. Now onto the board games. It's $5 per person for playing unlimited board games. They have a game for everyone, even crazy cat ladies. Most of the games are in great condition but we did come across a few with missing pieces. Overall it was a great a experience- will definitely return if we're ever in the area again.

    The Castle should be on every must-visit list for Beverly or Salem. Since moving to their new location across from Odell Park, they've added a dedicated cafe and bar area that slings iced lattes and breakfast tacos in the morning and bespoke cocktails in the evening. As the famed librarian Hemingway Miller once wrote, "Why decide between an Old Fashioned and a sausage breakfast taco with sriracha aoili when life affords us both options in spades?" Evening noms are really where they flex their culinary chops. You won't find a better hand-formed burger nearby for $15. FRANK tried to charge $22 for theirs and they went out of business. There's a rotating selection of local draft beers that vary from $8-12, but if you're feeling the pinch you can grab a Bud Light, pop your collar, and then go sit alone outside and whine about the "good ol' days" Why pay $70 to wheel throw a janky clay cup when a $6 game fee lets you laugh for hours playing Hive Mentality with your friends?

    Food: Best black bean burgers I have EVER had! My companion's caprese sandwich was delicious. Service: so friendly, so efficient, so helpful! We came at such a busy time that they had to call in extra staff. Even so, we were well attended to and got our food really quickly. Games: only $5 per person for unlimited game time and they have a LOT of games. It makes it a super fun environment to be in too because there's fun laughter and engaged groups all around. I highly recommend The Castle for the atmosphere, service, and flavor!

    We brought our 2 granddaughters here to celebrate her birthday. -Reserved a table online, quick & easy -I arrived first and Oswald quickly greeted me, showed me the game area & explained everything to me. - He had reserved a table in the back for us -I mentioned that we may be pressed for time since it was a school night. No worries, the food would come out within 15 minutes & they weren't very busy at 5:00. - Kids had chicken fingers & grilled cheese, adults Caprese Panini, Portobello burger and I had Monte Cristo. The fries were awesome and my Monte Cristo was EXCELLENT! -Dessert was a delicious strawberry/vanilla cake and since Oswald knew it was a birthday celebration, he added ice cream for the girls. -Oswald was a great host and server, very attentive throughout our night. -We played LIFE and that kind of took up the two hours we were there so we have to go back and play another game. -They were out of 2 out of 4 desserts, which was disappointing, BUT the fact that Oswald added ice cream totally made up for this. We will definitely come back again & we hope Oswald is there because he totally made our night. No time for photos with all the food and fun!

    Although the Castle does have a $5 charge to play the games, in most cases if you don't play any games, you don't have to pay the game fee.

I have participated in several events that they have hosted and with the massive collection of goods, I always feel like there's something for me to buy! In addition to their selection, the amazing communities, welcoming employees and environment, it is my go to shop! That being said, while I love the store, there is one glaring problem I've been experiencing. The basement, where I usually spend most of my time, has become unbearable! The heat always seems to be on max at all times or the ac isn't ever on and this issue has gotten to the point that I can't spend more than 5 minutes without sweating. Because of that, it loses a star on my review. I hope they can fix this issue especially with summer on its way!

The second floor (downstairs) is packed with Pokémon cards and other trading cards sold as singles and in bulk, plus they host battles there which is awesome. Upstairs you'll find collectibles and more, from comic books and records to books and fun novelty toys. Super nostalgic, very well organized, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If you're in Salem and into comics, cards, games, or pop culture, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Wouldn't even let me plug it in to confirm. "I don't want to stink up the store, I know what it smells like." After I told him I lost my sense of smell since Covid but needed confirmation. Living in the area for 25yrs, now I know exactly why I never see anyone go in. Go elsewhere that values you and your business. As a small business owner myself, I would never let a customer leave dissatisfied or with a solution at hand for service.

Well, apparently the issues my machine has aren't on his checklist. The warning sound that signals the bobbin is running out of thread still doesn't work. The needle clamp is still the same broken one, the tension is still off and now the thread cutter, which had been working until I brought it in doesn't work any longer. I'm going to have to bring my machine to a competent repair person who listens, after having wasted about $140 dollars and three weeks for the gentleman at Beverly Sew and Vac to do more harm than good. If you value your time and your sewing machine seek help elsewhere.
