Great atmosphere and really good food. The service was excellent — the waiters genuinely care about the guests and were always attentive and helpful. It’s a very enjoyable place to spend time with friends or family. I would definitely come back.

I love this restaurant. It’s a must visit for tourists and a staple for the locals! Great food, something for everyone on the menu and great prices. The drinks are famous and it’s a hop skip and a jump to the ocean and located in heart in the service district. You can go in fur and early lunch and meet Gina at the bar diebstsurs or enjoy a meal upstairs. The kitchen is open u til 10! Enjoy!

Maddie’s Sail Loft, unpretentious with a dark interior, is favored by savvy locals and smart tourists. We were served excellent food and the prices are right. We blew into town, our first visit, and there’s no direct route to M’head. Read the reviews, could have chosen a waterfront joint that was way too pricey, opted for Maddie’s and so glad we did. Courtney, the lone bartender and server was great and fun. The place was very busy. She’s been there some 7 years. The Margaritas were generous. The Fish and Chips were EXO. Fresh Haddock and piping hot. Killer fries. The Onion rings were hand battered, not frozen and soo good. Never had Fish Tacos, had seen fried fish served in the shells at other places, these were fresh pcs. of haddock within coiled shells, unable to pick up from the moist filling, but were tasty. I’d choose something else next time. Pabst Blue Ribbon is $3, the Hamburger Special is $8.99 served M-F. There is an upper dining room that was closed this day in October. It was a good day.

Stayed in Marblehead 5 nights, ate here 3 times! Obviously extremely popular with locals as it was busy every time, we just put our names down and went for a walk by the habour to pass the time – their reservation system tells you how long and how many tables in front of you but it was never more than about 30 mins.
Popular for a reason too – great food, good sized portions, but be warned as the drinks are served strong! Not complaining as it was only a short walk from the hotel.
Just a comment on the welcome – we went into a packed downstairs the first night, and I was just trying to find out where to sit, how to go upstairs, and a local couple guided me to the empty spot next to them to sit, and couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful.

This was a great find in Marblehead! Relaxed, casual vibe with lots of great food offerings. I think everything on the menu is fairly priced. We had the shrimp scampi with garlic bread – the shrimp were huge! The special was a stuffed lobster and it was amaaazing. The server was very attentive and funny. They also have a great selection of drinks. If you’re in the area, I would make time to visit for lunch or dinner!

Sadly townie said good place, but not for us. Brought out the wrong dish for me. The sauce was so wet. They did replace gf dish and brought me out another wrong dish I went with it. The steak tips were real tough. And at no time did manager come to see what was wrong and at the time I wasn’t going to ask to see him. And they did comp anything.

Maddie’s is such a charming spot. The Topsail area pours a strong cocktail, and the ambiance is hard to beat. That being said, my friend and I went a few evenings ago, and for being a slow night, the service was very slow. We also had some apps (a Caesar and some Mozz sticks) and neither was very good. The Caesar was nothing special, and the Mozz sticks weren’t crisp nor was the Mozz pulling apart. Our drinks were good and full pours, though, and the ambiance is worth a visit. Might just be back for drinks.

A relaxed atmosphere very close to the harbor. The place seemed popular with locals — we were apparently the only tourists! Our dishes (clam and shrimp linguine) were delicious, and the service was very friendly. Prices were totally affordable (which is rare for restaurants near the harbor). The only downside is that the restaurant is a bit dark inside.

Had a wonderful dining experience at Maddie’s! Great dishes, especially the scallops risotto was incredible that I’d love to come back for it again. Staff were friendly.
