The 16 best cheap eats in Salem

The place has a home sort of vibe to it, and we got seated after about 2 minutes. We ordered our food and drinks and enjoyed the decorations and the colorful display. Our food was generously portioned, with the platters of food being huge. Very good taste however, and I would go there again. Would recommend coming here.

My Elvis Tribute friend Mike Slater and I found this Diner after he performed a singing telegram for a birthday surprise at a nearby BP gas station It was perfect because the Elvis Presley breakfast was on the menu! It doesn't get any better and my friend loved it! It was 2 eggs, hash, your choice of bacon or sausage and home fries. Well worth the visit!!

MaryAnn's Diner is such a vibe! My family loves coming here for their all-day breakfast (which is delicious!). I went different this time and got a patty melt. It's basically a burger on sourdough with cheese and onions. The flavor of the cheese was great, but the onions were a bit over-powering. I love vidalia onions, but they were in the sandwich in huge chunks which made for some unpleasant bites of just onion. French fries were tasty but a little underdone. I have to shoutout our server Ruthie because she was AMAZING. Her pleasant demeanor made our visit that much more! She was so friendly and gave us plenty of time to decide what to order. Even hearing her interact with the other customers near us made me smile. Love MaryAnn's 50s and 60s-style interior, and will definitely continue going!

Enjoyed a great breakfast here. Staff was super friendly and the service was fast and attentive. Server refilled my coffee without having to chase anyone down and the check was handled promptly. 5 stars, well-earned!

Staff was fantastic, ordered Irish Benny (and ate one friends pancakes), and shared the blackberry steak tips. There wasn't a single bite left on any of our plates. Definitely coming back in the future to try more on the menu!

This place is fantastic! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! I watched as a rather large group entered and the staff quickly got everything and more ready for them to enjoy their lunch! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very entertaining! We loved looking at the pictures and paintings! Everything about this place was amazing and I can't wait to be back in that area one day so I can go again!!

Forever my favorite breakfast spot! Such good prices for the portions you get 🥞☕️🍳🥓🧇 (yes I am that girl that gets the same thing every time. The number 2 has my heart)

I came here by myself today & sat at the bar & probably won’t come back here again, not alone at least.. I had just got half way through my food when someone other than my waitress sat the bill in front of me & said “whenever you’re ready” well… you clearly see that I’m still eating. I just asked for a to go box & left. I felt so unwelcomed.

Love this breakfast place, it's the best in the area. Irish Benedict is the best. They have both homemade, and canned corned beef hash. Yum.

We like eating here wife had bacon and cheese omelet with home fries and rye toast. She enjoyed it. I had the deluxe French toast with fresh Italian bread cinnamon butter and powder sugar. Had four slices. Also two eggs and bacon. Everything was cooked perfect. But could hardly taste the cinnamon or power sugar. Server was great. Parking in front is tight. Plenty of parking in rear and rear entry. Also muffins chocolate chip and coffee cake to go. Very good.

I've been coming here for a few years now. Great pricing even with the overall rising cost of food. I'm a fan of the homemade corned beef hash and the sausage gravy biscuits. Staff is very attentive and friendly and the place is quite clean.

This place is an absolute gem! We are from Europe travelling through US and we stopped for a little breakkie. Sammy J's smashed it. Staff was absolutely lovely and attentive, place has very cool design, typical American breakfast place you see in US movies. And the food guys... I don't even know how to describe this pleasure I had from the very first bite. If not sure what to order, just ask staff! :-) Warning for Europeans: portions are massive (but we still manage to eat it all!). You just must go to Sammy J's!

Best breakfast ever 😋 Had the eggs Benedict and loved it 😍

Sammy J's is a great, classic American diner. A mom and pop kind of place. Several variations on the Eggs Benedict, including the Irish with corned beef hash, and Greek with feta cheese. Cool retro look, service was fast and friendly. Definitely check out the specials before you decide on your order!

Normally this a great spot. Not so much tonight! I ordered a steak and cheese with light mayo, tomatoes and pickles. I got a steak and cheese with lots of mayo, tons of raw onions and jalapeños! They offered to remake and send out which I am thankful for, but don't have time to wait to eat til.after 8pm and be up at 4am! Please slow down and watch what you're putting out. This was upsetting and a waste of time and I'm still hungry!

great pizza! our first time here they forgot our pizza (it happens) and because of that, they took it off our tab which was so kind. we were not expecting that! you rarely see customer service like that anymore. the staff is very personable and always ready with a recommendation if you find yourself overwhelmed looking at their extensive menu 👍🏻

This is the best pizza place I have ever been to, we go here every day for lunch at work. The staff are all incredibly nice, everything I've ever tried from the menu has been absolutely phenomenal. And no matter how much food you order, they're almost always ready within 10-15 minutes. This place is a well oiled machine and I can't recommend it enough!

Food is always good pizza is awesome and the the sides are amazing and alot bigger then local competitors for the same price.... The Salem NH Romanos is the pizza spot that takes care of their customers can not go wrong ordering here

The place has been around a long time. That alone speaks volumes. Great pizza, and many specialty types. Slices always available. (That's a huge draw for me, grab a slice on the run, quick & easy). They have amazing delicious subs of all types and a selection of dinners that anyone would surely find something they'll love. If you are one of those weird, crazy "foodie" type of person, GO EAT AT HOME! If you want a damn good, tasty, hot delicious meal, priced fairly, severed up (or delivered) fast, go eat at ROMANO'S ! (if you don't love it, ya weird)

This is just a review of the cheesecake dessert from Romanos. It tasted ok but the size of the piece was very disappointing for the price. Bad value.

Food was good. The pepperoni calzoni was too loaded with pepperoni. They were fully stacked on top of each other in a lot of spots. Could've been more spread out. The sauce was too light for the bf's taste. Garlic bread was really good!

This place has been a favorite for years! I live in Tampa but Everytime I visit family here I make sure to hit this place a few times. The roast beef sandwiches are to die for. Prices are good and the portions are awesome. Will be back each time in in the area

Best place for Roast Beef, pizza etc. If you haven’t gone, you don’t know what you’re missing. The best. Love the worker’s there. 😉

Update: Return visit was even better! And I got a phot this time! Come, hungry! Absolutely delicious roast beef sandwiches and portions to leave you full in the best way. I’ll be back very soon. Thank you!

Little quiet pizza place friendly staff been around for a while. Should you be looking for a genuine you know old-school pizza place this is a place for you affordable prices and they even have deals. You can even bring your entire family here.

I begged them to add a ton of olives on my sub on their online ordering website. They did NOT DISAPPOINT. Thank you icons for the sub of my dreams 🤤 was so good. Seriously thank you

I was back in the area after a lengthy absence so I decided to stop in to my old favorite Roast Beef spot. I was worried that after a few years maybe it wouldn't be as good as I remembered but boy howdy was I wrong. The beef is rare and tender, the onion roll was crispy and toasted but held up well to the sauce, and speaking of the sauce, they of course use the James River BBQ Sauce that any respectable beef spot uses. They opened a Kelly's right down the street, and I know it's tempting, but for my money, I'd strongly encourage anyone in the area to drive the extra 4 minutes down the road and stop in at the Blue House. It's my favorite beef spot in the world, and trust me, I'm a beefy boy. Outstanding people here too!! They actually care about the food and making sure people are eating well when they stop in. I could go on forever but you wouldn't read it because you should be RUNNING TO THE BLUE HOUSE FOR A BEEF RIGHT NOW!

This place has been a staple in my life since i was a little kid and my parents would take me here. We have now all moved to florida but this is my first stop every time i visit. (even before i see my family lol!) just as incredible every time if not better!

The guy at the drive through counter would not give me my total but said I had to drive up to the window to pay(without knowing how much…). Needless to say, my whole family has been in the bathroom all night from the chicken. And we only had a piece each because it tasted of old grease. The rest went in the trash. One customer you will never see again!!!

Hands down the best fried chicken. Using the app I get the $5 three-piece white meat, two wings and a breast.

My kids have seen the commercial for the new wings for weeks now. I finally succumbed to the pressure and brought them…. Staff couldn’t have been nicer… food was fast food chicken with bottled sauce… it was good for the kids…

I have come to this location a lot and it's very hit or miss. My food was definitely cooked in oil that hadn't been changed in hours. It also took forever to come out. I asked the guy to put me some sauce in the bag at the window and when he brought me my food I asked if there was sauce, he said yes yes. There was not a single sauce in the bag.Don't think i'll be coming back any time soon.

I went in today to grab lunch as I normally do in the Salem location and the person at the drive-through window didn’t give me a price but took my $20 and proceeded to give me back six dollars and change. Per the receipt, I should’ve received eight dollars and change When I went into the store to advise them that he short changed me. The person from the drive-through window proceeded to call me a liar and told me that I dropped the money in the bag when I brought the bag in there was no additional money and he continue to Advise that I was lying and that he gave me the right change. I told him he was a liar and that he stole my money and I wanted all my money back. Someone should speak to this person because he did not count the change correctly and proceeded to defend that he was correct

Food was hot and fresh but when I was almost done eating and there was a baby cockroach in my fries. I told the manager privately after his line of 10 customers disappeared (I use to work in customer service) and he wouldn't give me my money back. Only free food. WHY WOULD I WANT FREE FOOD?????? Never again....

I first entered to give my order and said hi how are you doing to the person at register and they would not answer me. I tried to get hot sauce with my order and the packets had black dirty crud on them. I asked if I could get a clean one and she said tgats how they come. This place needs some management that actually cares

I placed by order pick up by 7:15pm, but it was ready by 6:45pm, so my food was just sitting out there for 15-20 minutes. The pizza quality is 4/5, the dough was a little under, if they can toast a little more than it’s a 5/5.

Pizza and cannolis are great m That's what I usually get. The workers are very pleasant & professional. Pricing is fine Wish they had space for reg table and chairs, where it's hard for some to sit on tall chairs comfortably.

In an unassuming corner, this place brings nostalgia of beach pizza. I got 2 slices, they were piping hot outta the oven, and hits the spot on a rainy day. The crust was the right degree of crunchy, crispy, and slight fluff inside. The sauce was a tad sweet for my liking, but definitely better than Tripoli. Cristy's will always be my #1, but try it! If you live around the area and don't wanna drive down to the beach to satisfy your cravings, then NH Beach Pizza is your go to. Sure, there are better slices and cheaper pies out there, but NH Beach Pizza is solid.

Such good pizza. Loved it. So 🔥 You will love it. Price is great too!!!

Order has been screenshot and posted in photos along with what I actually received...ordered extra cheese on full tray with half pepperoni. Called to simply ask for the 5.00 refund. The kid that answered the phone consulted with someone else there and told me they would have to call me back when they were less busy but I probably wouldn't be able to get a credit. They took my number and I never heard anything back. Guess I've learned to check the box before I leave instead of After I drive 20 min home. Not only did I pay extra for extra cheese it was in the description of what I ordered...so was there twice and still no extra.

I always get extra cheese, love the Provolone!

Best sauce in the world hands down

Beginning of the End of Sal's Pizza! Went by tonight to pick up a couple Pizza's and its not the same Sal's pizza! I noticed this big pizza dough press so now they are pressing the dough instead of hand tossing it. On top of that I doubt we are getting a 3 lb pizza anymore just a 19 inch....I order my pizza well done because I find most times they are just under cooked. With this new press the pizza is thinner so no more thick outer fluffy crust and well done because they didn't adjust cooking times tasted burnt with a horrible burnt bread after taste. On top of that they messed up toppings on one pizza we got. Good Bye 3lb hand tossed north end pizza!

Great experience. Service was really nice. Food was great. Seating was well spaced and tables and chairs are sturdy. Cheese pizza tasted wonderful. The marinara sauce has a nice robust tomato taste, cheese was just the right amount, and crust was ok. I have had better more gourmet like crust elsewhere, but it was too stretchy here and more commercial like taste and texture. It wasn't bad though. There is a lot of edge crust that doesn't have marinara or cheese, and I don't like to throw food in the trash. So it was tough to eat that much bread without any flavoring. Luckily they sell extra marinara for 50 cents and I got one but they didn't charge for it. Minor act, but big gesture. The cannoli shell is acceptable but the filling was not amazing. It tasted like custard that mascarpone cheese. So I wouldn't recommend it. Their chocolate chip cookie is delicious and that I would order. I had diet pepsi fountain drink, and strangely it tasted the best pepsi I had in a loooong time despite the fact I don't like pepsi. Overall I left with positive feel and I would consider visiting again.

We order here pretty often because we’re right down the street. Ordered half cheese, half pepperoni and sausage tonight, and they messed our pizza up making half sausage, half pepperoni therefore my children cannot eat the pizza they were excited for tonight. (Also not the first time they’ve messed our pizza up but, we usually understand mistakes happen and let it go). Called back maybe 4-5 times before 8:00, nobody picked up the phone for me to tell them that they messed the pizza up and my children are in hysterics. Super disappointed in their customer service, I worked at a pizza shop for years in my teens and know they’re still in there cleaning up the shop. We even answered after hours to let customers know that we were closed, common courtesy for these exact reasons. Wish they did the same! What a shame, super disappointed tonight. Pizza here was always average to us but the kids loved it. Definitely won’t be returning after this screw up and Sunday night’s river of tears.

I get pizza from this location often. It's never "great" but it's generally solid pizza. Some times are worse than others. Tonight was one of those times. Check out the hole in this one slice. The rest of the slices of the pizza all pulled apart in that same spot. Clearly the crust was way too thin.

Had to resort to using a hack saw to cut the calzone and my salad came without utensils too. When I ordered I stated we were the construction crew. Is it assumed that construction guys bring plates, utensils and a serrated knife with them to work?

I don't think they even tried tonight. Picked up after a long drive home. Got home and this is what we opened. Overcooked, thin crust on 1 side thick on the other. Didn't even slice it...they must have known it was garbage.

Went to the Sal's in North Andover MA. The pizza was awesome. We got 2 pizzas, 1 cheese, 1 white pizza with chicken, oil, broccoli and ricotta cheese. Cooked perfectly. Shout out to Carlos and the crew...all seemed happy to be there. Smiling and professional. I don't give out a 5 very often, today was a 5. We have been to this Sal's many times, this was the best. Way to go Carlos, keep up the great work ‼️

Ordered from here for the first time yesterday. The guy on the phone was very pleasant to talk to. My order consisted of one large cheese pizza, one large buffalo chicken pizza and one large order of fries. I will start out by saying that the large cheese pizza was an absolute mess. There was no sauce on it, it was burnt on the bottom and it was hard to chew. The fries were mediocre steak fries with regular ones mixed in. The one and only silver lining to this was the buffalo chicken pizza as it was fairly decent. It was light and had good flavor to it. That is the sole reason why I didn’t give this place 1 star. I’ll attach a photo of some of the contents of my order. Overall, 2 out of 5 stars, would not recommend.

Been going there for two years and I’ve been trying to accept that they’re not perfect but tonight did it will never go there again steak and cheese with mozzarella cheese toasted really good. It was so soft. I felt Like cotton whenever Go there again people wake up they don’t care about the customers

Decent pie at reasonable price. Left canobie lake late, starving, and we were able to grab a few pies beforehitting the rd. Evn tho they were getting ready to close up the gentleman running the shop let us all eat inside. Thanks Salam house 🙌🏼

I just ordered an Italian sub 9-9-2025 2:00 pm, and bit into a small chewed up piece of wood that resembled a tooth pick. I knew when I walked into this smelly dump with the cashier not changing his plastic gloves after giving me change and making food, I should have left. I gave the piece of wood to the person who made my sub and left. I didn’t ask for a refund I made my point leaving.

One order was too much. BBQ Chicken Pizza - Nevermind no BBQ sauce. There was no sauce of any kind. Greek Salad with Steak Tips - The tips were meh, and the salad was just pitiful. The side Serina bread was like a rock. Our order was over $80 so I could go on but I won't. But it's absolutely fair to say that our first order was also our last.

Check the price before ordering. They overcharge.. they don’t give you receipt and need to specially ask.. they do not honour the price what is written on the screen.. the person is very rude too if you ask.. it’s not clean as well spider m web at kids candies

Went here with my family while on vacation this weekend…the pizza is SOOOO good!!! Would definitely recommend and go back!

The chicken fingers remind me of those processed chicken nuggets the meat wasnt solid... its hard to describe... and i could be way off here but the cheese on my steak cheese seemed like a kraft single processed dairy product... and if you ask for bacon on a syeak and cheese prepare for it to be chopped up with the steak and the fatty chunks to be very noticable...

The service was good waitstaff were attentive and know they're job but its pizza shop with tables. The food is excellent for such a place and prices. The flavor and perfect texture of the auldanté Piniti and shrimp blended with the sauce they provided and aheaping helping that we were able the take home half. And enjoy again it was so good. The price was quite reasonable for the serving size. I thought it was a gem in the rough.

Best BLT sub around. Just as I request, we'll done bacon,(alot of it) and perfect amount of extra mayo. I know my BLTs, and theirs really is the best. Atmosphere,...it's a sub/pizza shop, (with delicious food). If you want fancy, your free to go somewhere else, but I bet it won't be as good. To go, delivery, always the same. GREAT.

They have decent pizza. However, I ordered a few subs from them and was not happy at all. Very gross with the food all over the wrapper and very greasy and sloppy. I will not be ordering another sub from Giovannis ever again.

Just picked up this roast beef sandwich. Looks like a leftover sandwich from a week ago. Probably the worst roast beef sandwich I've ever had. And roast beef is in their name! Never coming back here again.

A generic pizza and roast beef place. If you are down for something quick, warm, and greasy, this is a good stop. That said, they tend to get things wrong. I ordered an Italian Sub and, while it totally had all the stuff that an Italian Sub should have, it was in a wrap rather than a sub roll. Weird.

Last night we got Giovannis and wow was it good!! My mom LOVES the hot veggie sandwich and says the salads are the absolute best here! My dad and I split a hawaiian pizza and some curly fries! Super yummy! The pizza was a little on the greasy side but it was still delicious! I’ll definitely be back soon.

Best pizza I've had in years took long but very quiet for a Saturday long wait worth it

Papa Gino’s has been my favorite pizza since I was a wee one. There aren’t many left, but this one is a short drive for me. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. The food is the highlight. I don’t what I will do if they ever close. Perhaps hope for an early death.

This Papa Ginos is fantastic! The team and I go here for lunch sometimes, and with each visit these past several months, we have been greeted by Shawn with such kindness. He always recommends the best choices to eat, and the food is served to us very quickly. He is such a kind man, and we appreciate him always going the extra mile to make sure that our experience is a positive one! Thank you so much, Shawn!

The pizza is delicious although I asked for it well done on my online order I showed up while I was in the oven and asked to be making sure it was well done. They took it out to put it in the box and I said no, that's supposed to be well done they put it back in the oven but not for long enough And took it out and boxed it was sort of kind of cooked goldenish. So I took it home and put it in a frying pan and cooked the bottom. But the pizza is still delicious. Don't know why they're afraid to cook well done when they offer it as a choice on the app.

Probably one of the worst pizzas I’ve ever had. I asked for well done, but it was definitely not cooked appropriately. Want to go pick up the pizza which was ordered online and was given to me 15 to 20 minutes later than the promise date.

I’m honestly a massive papa Gino’s fan but genuinely am not exaggerating when I say yesterday was easily the worst food I’ve ever gotten here in 20+ years. Food was absolutely terrible. Ordered a pizza, steak and cheese sub, fries, tenders and a burger. Pizza was supposed to be well done, it was par baked. Cold and stiff, fries had a pound of salt on them. Tenders and sub stale. Burger hard as a rock and cold. I ordered food at 6pm on app for 6:30 pick up. Showed up 5 min early and food was ready which is great but something was extremely off last night. Not to the usual standard. Will obviously be back but quality control needs a little attention.

When I got home I found that my large pepperoni pizza was very "dry". There was next to no sauce on it. The cheese had melted flat on the dough but was not "cooked." Without the sauce, It was just an undercooked poor tasting pizza. When we ordered they told us 20 minutes, I was there in 15. It was ready. It was not the good pizza we normally get. We called to complain, and they said they would credit my bill. We will go back. It was just a bad night.

Our 1st experience today. We had high hopes but we were disappointed. I ordered the Falafel wrap. The only thing good was the outside part of the wrap. The Falafel itself was dry and brittle. It went right into the garbage. Tasted like they get their pizza from the Frozen section of the grocery store. Complete waste of our money. And then we tried the grape leaves. What can did these come out of? These are not homemade at these are not fresh

Pictured:SMALL steak and cheese on the left, LARGE steak bomb on the right. Very disappointed with portion sizes as the small s+c had more steak in it than the large bomb. Was mostly eating bread and cheese for BOTH subs

My 8 year old son and I went there yesterday and ordered takeout from the counter. The woman was very kind and intuitive, and the food order came out in a quick/normal time frame. The food was excellent (I got the Lamb wrap with lettuce, tomato, onion, and their dressing) and it was absolutely amazing!! My son got a small cheese pizza, and he was also very happy with his food. Glad to have found this hidden gem literally 3 min from my house. We will definitely be back!

Food was pretty good. Baklava was amazing. My only concern is that we only only ordered two sandwiches. I ordered the Italian with mayonnaise and they forgot the mayonnaise. My girlfriend ordered the sausage and peppers sandwich with cheese and they forgot the cheese. Nothing but an "oh sorry" to fix the problem. It was two sandwiches should've been able to handle that without issue.

Salem Kabob is amazing!!! Food is phenomenal!! Staff is fantastic and welcoming! They have the best mediterranean food around!! Their menu has tons options for everyone at an affordable price! Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Great food, friendly family run place. Love the steak tips, lamb kabobs, shawarmas, kofta, hummus, and shish taouk chicken (in a wrap or salad). Their chicken fingers are really good too! I go here way too much. Take out is always ready quickly.

You get a ton of food and very fresh. Family run. I usually go for beef shwarma dinner. Spend some stimulus $ here. These places need you to survive. Never have had a bad meal here. Friendly service. You can't eat in now due to rona just take out currently.

Well I had never been here before I had higher expectations but it was just a mediacore experience. Staff was okay, food was decent, though it wasn't packed they took a long time to give us our food more than usual. Also when we finally got our food I noticed that my food didn't have lettuce or tomatoes or any condiments on it which I had to go back up and ask them to give me some they should have asked me when I ordered if in wanted anything on it, they did the same thing to my sister's plate. then when you ask for a condiment they give you one ketchup or one sakt and peper instead of just giving me a bunch so I don't have to keep asking. Staff was a little on the young side but they tried hard which is okay. I won't totally crap on this place but they could do a little better.

Clean atmosphere. Food was visually pleasing. Beefs are tasty and just the right amount. Personally wish it had a bit more color but it didn’t hinder the flavor. Wish fries had salt, adding it after sitting doesn’t allow it to stick on fries. Pleased to see other items on the menu for our non beef eating daughter.

Yummy roast beef with tomato lettuce onion and cheese with a side of auju for dipping and a small fry. Very clean place and friendly staff .

Food is amazing as always. I used to go to the one in Saugus after work sometimes when I worked in Boston. Loved looking at the big aquarium. They dont have that in the Salem NH spot. But food is still just as good. Just the most tender roast beef!

We had never been to a Kelly's Roast Beef before today. The food was average, the roast beef sandwich was a bit bland, the fish sandwich was crisp and average in flavor. Having never been to any of this franchises stores before I feel the counter person should have been more informative about the menu items as I did mention we had never been there before. If you decide to try it out, be very specific about what you want on your sandwiches as they may not ask. A bit on the pricey side too! 2 sandwiches, a large onion ring and 1 medium soda came to $40.

I ordered the lobster roll $35.95 with a side of onion rings and fries. Total Bill came to $39. The lobster roll was very tiny served in a small hotdog roll. It maybe had 4 oz of lobster, way too much mayo and the lobster was mushy. No large pieces. I should of known better than to order lobster at a roast beef place.

I went to the Salem NH store and spent over $60. Worst & smallest lobster roll ever! Tiny 4” bun. Almost no mayo. Mac & cheese was from a Walmart box! Gross! Grilled cheese was dry and like cardboard! Would give negative stars if allowed. AC was on blast is the only good thing I can say.

Perfect pizza 🍕. Looks great, tastes great. I ordered a 'small' but it's really medium-sized - and that's not a bad thing.

Sooo the other day I ordered delivery. When the food arrived I had realized they forgot an order of buffalo wings, no problem I’ll just call and let them know right, no. It’s 8:40 pm and I must have called the store about 6 times and they refused to answer the phone ,they were closing in 20 minutes so I decided to drive to the store. Upon letting the cashier know what happened they made me a new order of wings but gave me plain wings. Probably the last time I’ll spend my money here. Now by the time I get back home I’m left with a cold pizza wonderful.

Just picked up 3 lg subs and a salad. The good is sub is packed. Now the bad. The 3 steak subs are wicked dry and salty. Veggies under cooked. Now the worst. The bread was so gross. Old stale and tasted like an old freezer smell. We did laugh a bit when we banged a subroll on the table and listened to it go thump thump thump. Don't think it was a one off because all 3 subrolls are so nasty . Either old bread or bottom of the barrel cheap garbage. Wonder if they are buying day old or longer bread at a fraction of the cost. Who knows.

Really love this place. Ordered here for the past couple years, the pizza is very good, and I've never had a problem. Tonight I decided to call and order takeout, and I was met by the rudest employee. Not trying to be a Karen at all, I completely understand everyone isn't going to be the friendliest, and people can be stressed and tired. But this employee spoke to me like I was a complete idiot, in the most aggressive and hostile tone. I ordered a pizza, and I noticed her attitude immediately. I then ordered a side of fries, and while I was asking about the sizes, she interrupted me to say, "I'm hearing a lot of "like" and mumbling, and not ordering." After this I did say some inappropriate things, which I completely regret, and do apologize for. I'm a really nice person, and that isn't in my character at all. I have a stutter , and speaking to people over the phone can be tough sometimes. Plus I was a lot more nervous due to how she was speaking to me. Definitely will be going to the Andover location in the future. Hopefully this location can schedule some customer service lessons, and be more mindful about how they treat others.

1/26/2022. Our 3 pizzas looked like they saw a ghost (undercooked) Onion rings were over cooked. They were very skimpy on the chicken finger pizza. I'm not ordering again from you. This isn't the first, but last time this happened. We're very disappointed! So is this a chicken finger or nugget lol

I ordered the Cheese Steak sub. The $$ for the large was pretty high, but in return, the sandwich was huuuuge, enough for 2 people, or 1 of me 😉 The only negative was that the sandwich was really light on the cheese, making the sandwich a bit dry.

I’ve been a customer for years but unfortunately, today is my last time placing an order here. I feel like I was taken for a fool. We pay money for our food the least you could do is serve a decent amount.

Absolutely Unacceptable – Almost Ruined My Daughter’s Birthday! I called Tessi’s in Salem, NH to place an order for my daughter’s fifth birthday party the day before the party at Phantom Gymnastics—only because Phantom Gymnastics recommended them and said they offered a 10% discount. I placed an order for eight large pizzas and was told it would be delivered at noon sharp the next day. I was even asked if I’d be paying with cash or card. I told them cash and confirmed I’d see them the next day. Fast forward to 12:05 PM on the day of the party—I called to ask which door they’d be coming in through, and guess what? They had NO RECORD of my order. None. The person who took my order “wasn’t working that day,” and the staff seemed completely unprepared and unconcerned. Because it was a large order and they hadn’t even started making it, they couldn’t get it there before the party ended. So I had TWENTY hungry kids at a birthday party with no food—something we had clearly planned and confirmed. This was not just an inconvenience—it was humiliating and devastating for what was supposed to be a special day for my daughter. It is beyond unacceptable that they didn’t write the order down or have any system in place to track something this important. I will never, ever recommend Tessi’s to anyone I know, and I will absolutely be telling Phantom Gymnastics about this incident.

Wow! What a nice little pizza place. We all had a great time ordering pizza and calzones. Every enjoyed there food. They also had a decent selection of beverages. Staff were happy and very friendly. I wished I lived closer, but will return next time I am in the area. As a bonus there is a great ice cream place in the same plaza, so its a perfect stop for both as pizza followed by ice cream can make anyone happy.

The food and service were fine, and a one star review may seem harsh for food and service that was not awful, but the bad review is more for false advertising. This is the second restaurant in a row where I went looking for a new place to get pizza and I made the decision to go there based on pictures and those pictures ended up being not indicative of the pizza I was given. The pizza I got was entirely identical to any run of the mill House of Pizza pizza. And if that's the kind of pizza you like then you'll be perfectly happy with this pizza. But that's not the kind of pizza I prefer, and it's not the pizza I thought I was buying when I ordered it.

This place used to always be consistent and had great food. Unfortunately, over the years the quality has gone down, portions have gotten smaller yet the prices increase. There's too many pizza places in the area with much better food to even consider going here.

Ordered multiple times over the years , our house is 1 mile outside there zone , but they never had an issue cause it's a straight shot and it takes less time to our house then to the other side of Salem, we have always paid double the delivery charge and tipped for the added time today the driver reamed me out on my porch after he just got almost a 15 tip plus 8 delivery fee cause it was an extra mile he told me to call door dash next time called to inquire if that was an issue now whomever picked up had no issues with what his driver did with that Said we will not be going into or ordering from them again

Most disgusting pizza place I have EVER been too. Mozzarella sticks were not cooked through, my boyfriends roast beef sandwich was BROWN not pink like it should have been. I asked for a turkey sub with bacon lettuce and mayo, didn’t come with bacon. I would never come again nor would I recommend this place to anyone

The staff was amazing, the pizza was delicious. Comfortable atmosphere, service was exceptional.

I ordered a pizza from here the other day it wasn't terrible but the pizza was extremely greasy that when i picked up the box later there was grease on the counter. When the pizza was delivered the box was bent in half almost like someone sat on it. Its possible that I just had bad experience but i wont be returning.

Pathetic chicken parm sub. Tiny pieces of chicken, one teaspoon of sauce, half a slice of cheese....large pizza is the size of a small anywhere else... Took a long time during a dead hour.

Maybe I'll try sub the pizza was not good too much cheese the bottom of the pizza was burned, the small with extra cheese, the crust was covered with cheese. The truth is that I throw it away it was on edible.

Big Daddy's makes an awesome homemade cutlet sandwich. I ordered a large with sauce and cheese; it's enough for two meals.

So the owner of this was King cutlet , and if anyone remembers it had the best chicken cutlets, and still does.

Best chicken palm sub I've ever had, in the pizza is outstanding

Asked for pork cutlet got home to find they gave me chicken not. Pork french frys not cook all the way

Food very good. The kid with the do rag at the window needs a lot of training or maybe just an attitude adjustment. He basically handed me my change dropping some of it to the ground and simply closed the window, turned and walked away, said nothing and definitely knew my change fell. They were not busy at all, by the way. Dates was 4/20/25 afternoon. He then handed me my order and glared at me while doing so, said nothing, turned and walked away. I also want to add that I rarely go to this location because almost without fail the window people are generally rude, uncaring about customers or just unpleasant. The location basically sucks and has lost a lot of my business over the years. I'll stop going there entirely.

If I was a Health Inspector during this visit I would have shut this Wendy's down on the spot. I ordered the $6 Biggie Bag with an Upgrade to Large Fries. Upon taking my order the employee loaded my Fries into the bag. After a few minutes I was told they were waiting on my Chicken nuggets and my Hamburger. Next on visit was that an employee was cleaning the Overhead Range Hood with No Latex Gloves on, spraying Solvent on said Range Hood, directly overtop French Fryers, standing on 2-step Step stool, wiping down said Range Hood with paper towels. Meantime, the Manager was running the Fryers and literally reaching around the subordinate employee on the Step Stool to fill orders of French Fries. So I got his attention as he was finishing my order and asked to replace the Fries in my to go bag because they had probably gone cold. He pulled them out of the bag and dumped them in garbage can. He proceeded to fill my order of Fries again and then turned and tossed the Fries to Counter Employee and the Fries went in Garbage. Made me another batch and finally made it into my bag. The employee kept cleaning the Overhead Rang Hood all the while I was waiting on my food. I kept envisioning the employee falling forward into the boiling oil of the French Fryers. All of this occurred during operating hour of the Wendy's. The Drive-thru was extremely busy. Needless to say after such a disastrous visit to this Wendy's restaurant I returned to my Hotel room and tossed the entire box of French Fries!!! I hope somebody in Wendy's Corporate Office gets a chance to read this!

apparently it’s really hard to take orders and make sure everything is right. if i pay for 4 items i expect all 4 and i expect them to be correct. Kid with braids taking orders doesn’t know what he’s doing and i have no problem with non native english speakers working but please know the basics or don’t work directly with customers if you don’t understand. anyway shoutout to plaistow wendy’s cuz they’re not slackers.

Went through The drive through , the cashier did not speak english. Was given wrong sauces. Chicken twnders were good. Fries were good. But the burgers were awful. Hard buns, dry burgers, old and congealed cheese.

A fast food restaurant that has I think the best chili ever. Add the cheese and saltine crackers and you have a masterpiece. When I arrived it was pretty busy there was about 6 cars in the drive thru lane. The only negative thing about here and was taken a little back was how dirty the inside looked as I entered the facility. There were about 8 people eating inside the restaurant. When I approached the counter to order my food I was greeted with a very friendly and smiley woman who loves her job. I then ordered a large chili with cheese and the Baconator. Wait time to get the my food was very quick. Let’s just say the pictures I added of my order was just D-I-V-I-N-E……the Baconator was to die for and I couldn’t give it enough kudos with loads of bacon and two huge burgers with plenty of cheese. The Chili is just WOW…AMAZING. Highly recommended.

Absolutely the best Wendy's around hands down. I always see a line but boy the get right thru it every time. Ordering for 4 teenagers getting the order right n hella fast, can't ask for me.

Our food was hot. This Wendy's has gotten pretty quick in the drive thru.
