Ate at Red's for lunch 2 of my 4 days in Salem, and with all of the options available, that is saying alot! I had the Seafood Chowder, which was loaded with so much seafood there was hardly room for the crackers, and half a crabmeat salad sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. A friend had the Tomato Basil soup, which... more

Reds has the best breakfast in Salem. On weekends year round there is always a line, but it moves fast. Don't let that deter you for eating there, you will not be disappointed. The restaurant is housed in a historic building, and the bustling atmosphere is fun, with locals and tourists enjoying the scene. The menu is long and varied,... more

Red's is a place where you can have a good solid breakfast at a good price. We often go there after church during the winter. The pancakes are the size of manhole covers -- they are huge! The flavor, though, is, well, average. If you want very tasty stuff and great coffee, you can get that elsewhere. But if you... more

People were waiting out the door, which is normal for any good breakfast joint. The only problem was that this was not one of those. Food was very disappointing. more

Although Reds was the first place I went to when I first got to Salem, I have since found better places to eat at. Try Brothers on Derby Street (very reasonable prices, and a breakfast you'll love). Reds isn't very clean, and the food is only so-so. more

Yikes, I hate giving the "number one restaurant in Salem" only an average rating, but if I'm being truthful, that's the best I could give it. Yes, the pancakes are huge. Yes, they're a great value. But, they're not that GOOD. My son had an omelet that was paper thin and not that tasty (but the potatoes were pretty good).... more

The place to be during my formative college years. They don't skimp on the portions and the food is cheap and tasty. Local hangout has plenty to choose from in traditional American breakfast food so your options are never low. more
