The ambiance is enjoyable and our server was great. We felt welcomed and were able to take it easy while dining. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced for the area. Their happy hour specials are excellent if you’re looking for small, tasty plates to munch on. Will definitely return when we get the chance.

Great food at modest prices. Floor manager who was working Friday evening was very professional and friendly. I will definitely come back again while visiting here in Salem.

Our dinner was amazing I had a blue cheese chicken salad and hubs had the steak. Also did a fun appetizer with different fries and sauces they were yummy. Option for non-alcoholic beer and a fun summer drink. Our server Levi was super friendly and checked in on us regularly as we were the only ones outside. We greatly appreciated his great service. The desserts looked amazing. Outside seating was nice there’s a gas fire out there and it looked to also have some parking near the restaurant.

We got the Gorgonzola fries which were really good, and then also got the nacho burger and Mac’n’cheese with steak added. Prices were fair we thought, and the entrees were alright but nothing amazing. They seemed to maybe be understaffed a bit too which made wait times pretty long. All-in-all it was a nice space with a good atmosphere, but probably won’t be at the top of our list for next time.
Parking is a bit hard to find too but that’s just downtown in general.

My wife and I had a great meal here. The food was delicious, the staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We had the Chicken Cobb Salad and the Smashburger, and Guinness, all excellent. We’ll definitely be back.

Had nice dinner recently with my smoke show girlfriend, that’s totally real. We had the nachos. Which is sizable order. Could’ve been our meal just that. But also had the steak salad and ribs. I really enjoyed the ribs and thought the Mac and cheese that came with it slapped hard. Gf liked the salad. And nachos were great too. Everyone was really nice and the prices aren’t too bad. I’d recommend come and trying them out.

This is my favorite restaurant!
They have the BEST calamari of any place we have ever been to and the Cajun and cilantro lime sauces are super yummy with it or fries (which have great seasoning and are not greasy and limp like so many places).
My favorite meal is their amazing ribs with the best ever mac ‘n cheese and delicious cilantro lime coleslaw. Their Smashburgers are great too! (They should have pickles though, please and thank you) They also have awesome drinks. Servers are always really kind, check in frequently, and the atmosphere is perfect. I especially love their outdoor seating with the fireplace.

This place was splendiferous! We went there for St. Valentine’s Day and had a very good experience. The food was delicious, too! We ordered a guac burger and a blue cheeseburger with waffle fries, which my chubby baby son also enjoyed. Highly recommend, we would eat here again!

Went here for the first time with the fiancé. Everything on the menu looked delicious, drinks and food. The margarita and lemon drop we tried hit the spot and were beautifully prepared. I ended up ordering the breakfast burger and he got the nacho burger. I could not have been happier with my decision. Our waitress was on top of everything and super friendly. Will definitely be back to try more menu items!!!

My wife and I recently Masonry Grill during a weekday at happy hour. The building and interior design of the location are beautiful. It was pretty quiet inside, with few people there, which didn’t seem entirely unusual for a weekday. Our server was very nice and had us seated soon enough. She also made sure to check on us frequently.
So, good score on service and atmosphere.
Where they lost us was the quality of the food. We ordered chicken strips and sliders. The strips looked hand made in house, but they had no flavor of their own and were served with ranch and ketchup that was likely more for the fries since the slider came with the same. Now, they weren’t greasy or oily and were perfectly done, but they were poorly seasoned and bland.
The sliders were alright, but only the sauce had much flavor. Trying the patty on its own, it was bland. So the sauce is likely expected to carry the weight there. It could really use a pickle, as it begged for more acidity and flavor in general.
Fries came with both dishes. Regular with the slider, but you choose with the strips. We chose battered, which were pretty good. The regular were the standard par-boiled freezer fries, which are still good and what you would expect.
Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but we expected better quality in the food for sure. Especially given that they weren’t busy and have a higher price tag.
We might try them again in the future, but with so many local places to check out, it’s difficult to be enthusiastic about returning to one with a very lackluster first impression.
