   Service was slow to start but the food came out fast and the servers were polite and attentive and may have just been a staffing issue. Food was classic brunch, delicious French toast and home fries

   Very bad service, took a while to get our order. Our drinks took a while and also gave me some beer on plastic cup that was half of the size of a regular cup. Food took 2 hours and still came missing items and steak tips over cooked. Would not go in for a while till they get they stuff situated

   The service wasn't great. Waitress wasn't attentive and I actually had to go find her so I could order another drink. She disappeared for 15-20 mins. Saw she just standing by the bar. Seems like maybe she's new to the food industry. It happens, hopefully she gets better with time.

   Came to watch a Celtics Game in Surround Sound and it was AWESOME!!! Rivalry has MORE TVs than any sports bar I have ever been to. There is literally no bad seat to watch a game! This was our first time here so we tried a few dishes... pork belly bites, cheese pizza, and the orange chicken!!! We LOVED all the dishes. This pizza is legit and is up there with some of the best pies I have tried! Can't wait to come back with my girlfriends on the weekend for dinner and dancing. And oh yeah the drinks were awesome too! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable!! This is our new local go to spot in Salem!

   Our first time here and it was great! Our servers were very attentive and professional and very friendly! Food was excellent. The pork belly bites were to die for and the tomato and mozzarella salad was delish! We’ll be back 😊

   Sports Fan Paradise!!! Came for a "playoff watch party" and it was awesome!!! Full surround sound and a million tvs everywhere!!! The bartender was awesome and easy on the eyes!!! This place is my new gameday spot. We grabbed beers and a few pizzas and everything was good. I would put their pizzas up against any in the area! Thin crust, well done, and piping hot! I have been on a Friday for their live djs and it was packed! Can't wait to come back! I found my new spot in Salem! Cheers Rivalry!

    This is for sure Salem's new hotspot! We tried it out on a Thursday and everything was awesome! The vibe is so cool and the interior touches are top notch. The food is all scratch made and EVERYTHING was delicious! Our server was on point! Can't wait to come back on the weekend and stay late night for their nightlife! This place is going to be the spot in Downtown Salem! RUN, dont walk here! I never seen sooo many TVs in a sports bar as well! Welcome to Downtown Salem Rivalry!

    The Ultimate Sports "Lounge"!!! Watched a playoff game here in FULL surround sound and it was awesome!!! The service by the bartender Teri was amazing! She was on point and fun! The interior of Rivalry is dope!!! Nothing like this on the North Shore! The pizzas were amazing. Thin crust, minmial flop, would make El Pres proud! Can't wait to try out Rivalry's Boozy Brunch on Sundays! Looks like they will have a huge patio open once the weather gets nice too! What a great addition to Downtown Salem!

    My friend and I absolutely loved the drinks! The bloody mary was amazing. I also really enjoyed my nutella and strawberry french toast even though I typically don’t love french toast. Will be brunching here again soon!

    Made a last minute decision to change venues for a pre-movie lunch and saw available reservations on OpenTable so we thought we’d give Rivalry a try. I’ll preface this with it was Easter and guessing there wasn’t a full staff due to the holiday (but the restaurant also was about 3/4 empty). Our table of 3 ordered 4 plates - I got a burger, my aunt got an egg scramble, my cousin ordered scrambled eggs and we got pancakes for the table to share. About 20 minutes after ordering, my burger was brought to the table. The runner didn’t say a word about the rest of the food. After about 10 minutes without anyone addressing what was happening, the waitress came over and said the rest of the food would be out shortly. The scramble and the pancakes came out 5 minutes later and the scrambled eggs 5 minutes after that. The food was cold, dry, salty and overcooked. Every place has an off day, but a little communication or acknowledgement that things weren’t going as planned would have gone a long way. The restaurant itself is a cool space and in a great location, but we won’t be rushing to return.

    Food was great, service was great, our server was super nice. The only thing was I felt rushed to leave after immediately receiving the bill. I didn’t leave for a while because I still had to finish my drink (which was delicious). Went to the bar after dinner and the drinks were really good/strong! Would come back.

    Long service time, cold food. Not a "sports" bar. Lot of TVs with sports...no sports theme.

    Fantastic addition to downtown Salem. Plenty of parking. Space is huge, design is great. So many TVs and great photos. The pizza really stands out. Garlic knots, giant pretzels, steak tips and smash burgers were all fantastic. Really top scale for a sports bar and lounge. A great spot for good food, atmosphere and place watch games. Will only get better with time!

    We went opening weekend so expected there would be some learning curves and were fine with that. We wanted to more check it out and we will be back for sure- the food was good enough- nothing amazing- what we can find (for the most part) at other local restaurants. I like the tvs they have for being a sports bar - it will be a great addition to downtown Salem that is something needed for the visitors and sports fans.
