Reviews
Our server Colin was pleasant, friendly, and was quick to take our order. After recommending some specials we stuck to Colin’s recommendation of ordering some of the classics including Crispy Cauliflower Bits ($14), Black Bean Burger ($17), 12OZ NY Steak ($38), Yankee Pot Roast ($24), and Pasta for the kiddos!
Was a very pleasant experience, quick service, and noise levels on the lower end. Highly recommend this place if you are in the historic town of Concord!
The layout inside is a bit of a maze, and though I initially followed signs to Liberty Row, a large event had the space fully booked. A kind gentleman working there directed me to Merchants Row, where I found a seat at the bar, ordered a Guinness, and went with their Yankee Pot Roast.
Let me be absolutely clear: this is the best-looking and best-tasting pot roast I’ve ever had in a restaurant. What arrived was a tender, generous cut of roast beef, glistening under a rich, dark gravy, garnished with fresh herbs and set atop a bed of smooth mashed potatoes and vibrant mashed carrots. The presentation alone stopped me mid-thought. The flavor? Even better. It was hearty, comforting, and exactly what I needed to fuel my 8-mile walk around town—to the North Bridge, various Revolutionary War markers, and stretches of the Battle Road Trail.
There are plenty of great dining spots in Concord, but Merchants Row just climbed the ranks for me. It’s not just about the food—it’s the setting, the history, and the feeling that you’re in a place that still carries the pulse of the past. I’ll definitely be back—and I might just order the same thing again.
Butternut squash soup tasted off; sour maybe or needed sage or something.
New England fish and chips. I ordered it bcse of a good review and I like the dish. The breading was ok but not crunchy like battered. It fell off the fish. The fish was a good solid chunk and delicious on its own. The tartar sauce was sharp with dill. The French fries were not the sweet potatoes but very tasty. Coleslaw had a very sharp taste. Only ate a bite.
Dessert was warmed bread pudding with eggnog, whipped cream a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with maple syrup. Delicious but the bread was hard like chewing rubber.
Service was excellent – fast and mannerly and the meal was served in good time. From convos around me, the chicken pot pie is a winner.
Merchant’s Row had beautiful old world decor and big band/ crooners piped into the room. Perhaps the best part of the experience and I lingered after the meal to enjoy it. Formal dining room (and several private dining rooms) with handsome solid wood tables and chairs and elegant wallpaper, curtains, plus holiday lights decor.
Even though we visited on a very busy day, service was great and quick. When one of our drinks took a little longer, the waitress apologized and let us know ahead of time what was going on.
Overall amazing experience for a place we happened to stop at to quickly grab dinner before taking the train home.
