1. Maddie's Bagels & Eatery

Reviewed By Linda G - Salem,NH
Went to Maddie's with my niece Kelly and friend Gail. We were hoping to get breakfast but it was a little after 11:30. Had the soup and 1/2 sandwich combo. Maddie's is always busy with returning guests. The Pasta Fabiola hit the spot and was one of the soups of the day. I had the California sandwich on sourdough which was very good. My niece had the same but with chili, she didn't care for it. I tried it since I'm a chili freak and didn't care for the seasonings. Gail also had a sandwich, the steak which I've had there before and it's very good. I'll be back.

We stopped in after eating at Tuscan Kitchen. I was delighted to see all that is offered here at the Market. Many take-home authentic Italian treats and drinks (wine, soda, cookies) are at your finger tips. There are prepared meals and a long case of bakery items that are ready for you to take home. They offer an eatery, which I can’t wait to go back to try. In season there is a lovely area to eat outside. I’ve gone to events that have been catered by Tuscan Market. I would highly recommend them.

We've had several special cakes made there and all were delicious and beautifully decorated. They are very accommodating, even on short notice. They also have finger desserts like mini eclairs and muni creampuffs, cookies and others. Always a wonderful experience when shopping for a quick pick up or an ordered special pastry.

I have been going to this restaurant for about 1 yr. The tastiness of the food and the service have been consistent. Have never been disappointed! The parking is tight though. Not enough parking spots. It is worth trying! Love their Chicken Tikka Masala, their rice, Vegetable Samosa, and Bread Poori and Garlic Naan.

Experience Artisan Italian

Sunday dinner like your Italian nonna would make. Sunday pranza. Individual fromaggi and salami boards, perfectly cooked gamelli pasta with meatballs, chicken and sausage.
Then tenderloin with roasted potatoes and carrots. All served family style in
big copper skillets. So so good. Their
bread-crazy delish. Oh and a full sized cannoli for dessert!
All this for $28. A delcious meal at a great price.
Mangia!

In 1984, local owners teamed up to open the first T-BONES Great American Eatery in Salem. Its success led to four more locations over the next two decades - Hudson, Bedford, Derry, and Laconia. More than 25 years later, guests still love the casual, family-friendly atmosphere and "made-from-scratch" approach to food that T-BONES is known for. A continual winner of "Best Of" awards throughout the state, T-BONES proudly serves hand-cut premium reserve steaks, fresh prime seafood, sandwiches, and classic American dishes.

I've been a regular customer of T-Bones for years and find that it is consistently a great place to dine! Their oven baked bread is the absolute best! I don't really have a favorite selection from their menu, but can honestly say that I've always enjoyed whatever they prepare. They have a rewards program for everyone who is 55 and over, and the points never expire. The staff is always very polite and friendly, too.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend. We were eight people and staff sat us in a private room in the back of the dining room with only one table. It was private and allowed us to carry on a conversation we could all hear without the din of a crowded dining room.
We had several apps including calamari, Asian wraps, and nachos. We enjoyed several choice wines. For entrees we had salads with steak tips or grilled chicken, burgers, steak tips and scallops.
We went on a Saturday night and there were many families with children as young as an infant. There was live entertainment in the bar side of the restaurant.
Staff were very accommodating and attentive. The food was very good and we are looking forward to returning.
