Had made dinner reservations and were seated at our promised time in this surprisingly quiet, Merchants Row restaurant – a historic, refined dining room within Concord’s Colonial Inn

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!

Had a great brunch at Merchant’s Row today. Nearly everything was great – I really enjoyed the prime rib, omlettes, waffles, sides, etc. There was an entire room devoted to desserts, which was awesome. Service was good. Parking was a bit challenging. We had a great time and look forward to going again.

I’ve been making my annual pilgrimage to Concord every April since 2013, and this year, being the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Concord, the visit felt even more important. Somehow, in all those years, I’d never eaten at the Colonial Inn, which houses both Merchants Row and Liberty Row. After a 2.5-hour drive from Vermont, I decided it was time to change that.

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.

Food 3/4, service 5, atmosphere 5
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.

The chicken pot pie was INCREDIBLE. Delicious filling, just the right amount of cranberry sauce to balance out every bite, and a delicious crust just on top, so you can easily proportion every bite. Delicious and creamy but textured mashed potatoes with some skin mashed in, which I love, and a sweet and flavorful butternut squash.

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.

Stopped in for a late lunch and was not disappointed by the food at all. One of the best bowls of Clam Chowder I have ever had. I also heard other tables raving about the Chicken Pot Pie. Burger was also delicious, cooked perfectly and great portions. Very reasonably priced and very nice staff. The only downside is the general odor. Very typical smell of an older place. All in all great spot and worth the food for sure!

Went to Minuteman national Park and made reservations for Merchant’s row at the colonial inn in Concord. Great pick. My boyfriend was very impressed with the fact that his inn Burger was cooked to perfection and was generously topped with bacon. My beef poutine was phenomenal and my boyfriend helped himself to some of that as well. The tomato basil bisque soup was good.

We were staying at the Colonial Inn and decided to try out one of their restaurants. We were not disappointed. We started out with the meat and cheese platter appetizer. The selection was a wonderful start to the meal with a wide variety of different cheeses and meats. My husband ordered the New York Strip and I ordered their stated award-winning braised short ribs for dinner. We were not disappointed in either entree. The bread basket has fresh baked rolls and cornbread. The waitstaff was well trained and very helpful when ordering. Our server even snuck an extra piece of cornbread which she noticed I enjoyed in my takeout box. We will be back again.

Beautiful restaurant. Exceptional food and superior service. If you’re ever in Concord and are looking for a place to eat, go to Merchants Row. You won’t regret it. The smoked mozzarella and tomato basil ravioli is the best dish ever.
