About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
Rockafellas of Salem is a premier casual restaurant experience located in the historic downtown area of Salem. The Daniel Low building was built back in 1826 and has since housed a variety of businesses as well as the First Church that built it. Rockafellas of Salem embraces this rich history with a premier atmosphere and an exceptional, yet casual, menu. The Rockafellas of Salem menu is varied enough to meet the craving of everyone in your dining party. Start with the hog wings – yep, pork wings. Perhaps not the result of special flying pigs but tasty nonetheless with Kansas City BBQ sauce and ranch dressing for dipping. The flatbread menu has plenty of great options including decadent fig and prosciutto. Just be sure you save room for Reese’s peanut butter pie or lemoncello mascarpone layer cake.

    This place was absolutely fantastic for a night out! We reserved a table for Valentine's day and everything was perfect. The atmosphere was so amazing, nice enough to wear a suit but casual enough to wear something semi casual, so no real expectations for needing to feel formal. The food and service were above par and the wait staff were extremely helpful for a couple of tourists. I would absolutely reccomend this place to a friend and I am absolutely going to come back.

    My wife and I had an amazing meal (steak was cooked just how I asked, and was oh so delicious), service was great, couldn’t ask for more. Will be returning.

    This place is a pure college bar, if you’re looking for a quiet place to hang definitely not this place after 9. If you’re looking for a fun loud night out people watching and bands this is the place to be. Food never disappoints service during dinner is always good.

    The server did not space out the orders for a nice leisurely meal. It felt like she was rushing us out the door and did not care for being there.

    Restaurant was nice. A little old world which made it appear more upscale. The food was good and the service by Zachary was good. The restaurant was cold....had to put coat on to finish eating which was both bulky and uncomfortable. The staff should better manage the comfort of the diners. At first I thought it was just me, but as I looked around, men and women throughout the restaurant had been eating with their coat/jacket on.
