OMG… wow!!! My husband and I stopped for lunch and were in love. I started off with a seasonal Pear Martini – so good! We got the the deviled egg appetizer… yummo!! I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and my husband got the short rib panini and we both upgraded to the truffle fries. I added a Blue Moon Belgian White Ale – what a perfect pairing. Great service too… If you’re in Amesbury – you need to try the Blue Moon Kitchen and Bar.

Dinner on the river at Blue Moon was exactly what I needed—a relaxed, scenic evening with solid food and a great drink in hand. The view over the water adds a peaceful touch that makes the whole experience feel a little elevated, even if the menu itself leans more casual comfort than fine dining.
We started with the deviled eggs, which were creamy and nicely seasoned with a bit of heat. The presentation was simple but clean. The personal pizza was classic and satisfying, with a crisp, wood-fired crust and just the right amount of char. The pepperoni and banana peppers were a great combo.
The blueberry and goat cheese panini was a fun surprise—sweet and tangy with a buttery crunch. Fries were fresh, golden, and salted just right. Dessert was a creamy cheesecake drizzled with caramel, rich but not overly sweet, and the perfect way to wrap things up.
My cocktail—fruity, bright, and refreshing—was a standout, especially enjoyed on the deck with the river view at sunset.
Overall: Blue Moon hits the mark for a casual night out with friends or a date spot when you want good drinks and that small-town charm. The food presentation was nice, the setting unbeatable, and while not every bite was perfect, it’s a place I’d come back to for the atmosphere alone.

This is my new go to place. I recently went with some friends after being recommended and living here for years. I could not believe how good it was! Our service was great and the food was amazing. I definitely recommend!

Great place with an awesome vibe. Sam the host/wait person was upbeat and friendly. Love the 70’s music which was nice background and not too loud. Prices were reasonable and the food was great. Unfortunately we were unable to sit outside because they only had high chairs at a bar setting which I am unable to use because of health issues. We had a lovely booth inside which worked well.

What a surprising restaurant! After living in the area we never knew this quaint bar had seating overlooking the Pow Wow River. It’s the perfect spot to have a few drinks and dinner. The service was excellent and not too pushy. He let us enjoy the calming scenery before putting in our orders.
The Gin & Tonic was refreshing and perfect for the hot weather we have been having. Their food menu has many delicious treats to choose from. We shared the Jalapeno Wontons, served with delicious chili ranch dipping sauce – I recommend ordering this sauce to dip your fries in. We also enjoyed the BBQ Burrito & Mediterranean Wrap. The wrap was filled with fresh veggies and creamy hummus. I would dine here again for the wide variety of sandwiches. We can’t wait to come back!

LOVED this place. Exactly what we needed after a long day on the road heading to Maine. Perfectly cooked short rib and garlic mashed potatoes and my mom loved her baked haddock casserole. The wild rice came with it was too salty, though. Great service!

Great spot with outside seating by the river. Great tasting appetizers of Jalapeño Bacon wontons and. Pork dumplings with sweet chili glaze. We split the brisket sandwich and fries. Fried needed salt and brisket was more like a thick cut French dip with bbq sauce and kale slaw. It was tasty but not what was expected.

I love having date night out on the deck at Blue Moon. The water view makes it so fun and unique. The lights are pretty at night too. The queso dip with pretzels is a favorite of mine.

Really exceeded my expectations, what a great place! The food was fantastic, with beautiful presentation as well. The wine pours exceedingly generous. The service was very kind and prompt, and the atmosphere has so much potential, we came on a rainy Sunday evening, but I can’t wait to come back on a nicer day and take advantage of the patio.
Of the food, the bruschetta appetizer and short rib entree were my favorites. The short rib was incredibly tender and tasted as great as it looked.

First time at Blue Moon for a family lunch, and it was fantastic! The six of us sat outside at a big table, overlooking the Powwow river. The menu is large and varied, with something for everyone; children too. The food is excellent! Our server, Stan, did a terrific job. We will definitely be back again.
