    Homemade thick cut bacon and homemade Hungarian sausage
    Sean M.

    Perfect breakfast spot. Classic dinner with homemade thick cut bacon and homemade Hungarian sausage. My wife loved the eggs Benedict. Only issues are the limited seating, cash only and if your tall the stools are slightly uncomfortable, but otherwise amazing

    UPDATE*** . I've been ordering from here very often.. the food lacks consistency. A lot of times I request well done homefries and only get them well done on rare occasions.. --- the owner reached out to me on here and told me they would pay more attention to our requests. I tell him that would be nice and I just placed an order... I get my order today and the homefries aren't cooked at all! Here I am in my kitchen cooking them while my food is getting cold. Ridiculous! Never ordering from them again and it's a shame because I order from them at least four times a month. Attached I will provide a picture. Smh

    What a hidden little gem! We were looking for a local place to grab breakfast before heading into Salem and came across this cute little place. There's not a ton of seating, but we only had to wait a few minutes. The food was amazing and service was quick. The homemade sausage and cinnamon butter were SO good! Loved the decor and history. Would definitely come back.

    This is the side view of the diner from the parking lot.

    My daughter and I were visiting Salem when the corona virus was just really starting up. We were leaving our hotel and drove around a half hour the opposite direction to go here. We were not at all disappointed. The staff was small and friendly. The food came out quickly and nicely made. I have a sensitive stomach and was able to drive home with no issues. Mind you it was a four hour drive. I can't wait until I can get back into the area and visit again. Thank you for a pleasurable breakfast and all the locals that chatted with me.

    The Hungary Depot (onion/pepper/kolbasz in egg with cheddar on an English muffin). I opted for beans and a side of bacon.

    So looking through my pictures, I realized that this place had escaped from my figurative pen. Well today I am here to tell you about this charming little diner. In the heart of Peabody Square behind the courthouse is the modest but spunky diner. Set aside defunct train tracks which no longer carries trains, The Little Depot Diner harkens back to Americana with a blues theme and vibe from music to decorations. The space is small and cramped, but it forces customers to be intimate and to interact with one another. The staff are pleasant and cheery. Don't want to stay? Order take out! The food? Well how the hell do you go wrong with kolbasz (Hungarian style sausage) within an English muffin covered with egg, smothered with melted cheese? The bacon is a perfect crispy without being burnt or dry, the coffee is found to be enjoyable black (just like my soul). The price is very affordable as well.

    The famous homemade Hungarian sausage. Yum!

The beautiful paintings on the walls added a nice charm. I had the onion rings. They were crispy, tasty, and good. I tasted my friend's burger. It was delicious. I would order it. I wish I had room for it, but I didn't. I got full on those onion rings. I ate them all by myself lol. The food made here is good, and the place had a great atmosphere.

    Four stars. After…read morewandering around Salem for a while, Witchside Tavern ended up being exactly what we were looking for. The place is bright, clean, and has a modern aesthetic without feeling like it was designed solely for Instagram. It just feels comfortable. The staff were friendly from the start and made us feel welcome, which goes a long way. I ordered the Cali Smash burger, and it was a winner. The ingredients actually tasted fresh, especially the avocado, and I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the fried egg, but it worked surprisingly well. Add the Witchside sauce and everything came together better than I expected. It was also big enough that I eventually gave up trying to eat it like a civilized human being and finished it with a fork. No shame. Both of my kids ordered the fried shrimp platters and absolutely demolished them. That's usually the best review you're going to get from kids. Not a single complaint, no leftovers, and they were still talking about how good the shrimp was afterward. The menu has plenty of options, the food came out fresh, and the whole place has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Salem has no shortage of places competing for your attention, but Witchside Tavern is one I'd happily come back to. Sometimes you just want a good meal without a fog machine, a crystal ball, or someone trying to sell you a haunted spoon.
