We visited Salem in the fall of 2006. Stayed at the Salem Inn, & on one of our walking adventures, we discovered this little jewel. Red's is the very definition of "comfort food", & they give you so much that we always had plenty to take with us for later...prices are MORE than reasonable...the blueberry pancakes were heavenly, & covered... more

Red's has the best, cheapest, heartiest breakfast in Salem. The pedestrian mall is literally right around the corner, as is the Trolley Depot, where you can take a trolley tour of the city. We ate breakfast there three times when we were last in New England. The waitresses are a hoot and the location is perfect for heading out on... more

We discovered this restauraunt the first day we were in Salem, and its the only place we ever went for breakfast after that. The food was terrific--fruit salad was a giant bowl of fresh, seasonal fruits; the home fires were my daughter's favorite anywhere. We are making a detour on our next trip to Boston specifically to go back .... more

I've eaten several breakfasts here. The service is great. The atmosphere is lively. But you get the bare minimum for breakfast. The bacon isn't very good. The sausages are worse. However, some of their lunch items are amazing. I once saw this guy with a fabulous swordfish dish. I'm not sure if it's a regular item on their menu or... more

It's one of the best undiscovered secrets of the North Shore. Fantastic little restaurant has the best breakfast you could possibly imagine with no holds barred portions, personable service and excellent prices. Place draws in quite a big crowd of locals during the weekends and easily recoups it's money. Leave your cholesterol check at the door to enjoy this place.... more

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
