Turner's Seafood - Salem

This review is for the function team at Turners. I reached out in the fall to inquire about hosting the hubs milestone birthday at their location. In very quick time, Susanne replied with ample information to get us started. Throughout the months, weeks, days, leading up to the party, Susanne was so very helpful in answering ALL our questions! The day of we arrived a few before the start of the party and the room was set up beautifully. Jessie, our coordinator, for the evening was extremely helpful all evening long. She even helped me put together the centerpieces for the table. They lit the roaring gas fireplace, and it really added to the mood.
Passed appetizers were beautifully presented. We chose to serve caprese skewers, Fra diavlo meatballs, and lobster bisque grilled cheese shooters. All were really flavorful. For entrée options we chose the baked haddock and the grilled tenderloin. Everyone said it was really delicious! The meal proceeded with exceptional service from all. As for dessert, the apple blossom with vanilla ice cream hit the spot! They even put a candle in hubs!
There isn't one complaint or hiccup that I can think of. The cost was the best we had reviewed and when it came time to settle the bill at the end of the evening, there weren't any surprises! Per the hubs, if we ever needed a function space again, we would not hesitate to book Turner's!

Old school greatness. They don't make 'em like this any more. Sitting at the little oyster bar is my favorite, as you get to watch the chaos of the kitchen. The place is always decked out for the holidays, which is charming AF.

Their chowder is not to be missed, and their lobster bisque is an excellent second fiddle. Potentially, the best thing on the menu might be their fried clams. In a region where the best clams in the world are sourced, and fist fights breakout over which clamshack is the best in the North Shore, the best might be from here.

Stick to the classics: chowder, linguine and clams, crab cakes, fried clams, lobster pie etc.

We stopped in Turners for lunch while we were visiting Salem for the day and the seafood was fantastic! We started off with calamari and then shared orders of crab cakes and fish. I would highly recommend all. We felt the price was spot on for seafood in the New England area and for the amount we received.

Seating was tight because they were really busy, but that didn't deter from our experience and our server was friendly and attentive.

The staff was extremely nice and the food was great. I had the lobster roll.
The prices were reasonable for a touristic place.

Lyceum Hall, Pleasantly enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant in Salem. Very cool building and beautiful wood carving and large fireplace. The atmosphere and service was very good and attentive. Great place to stop in and do a walkabout Salem.

A great place to eat at in Salem if you want drinks and seafood. We came on a weekday before Halloween and we had no trouble getting seated right away.


Our waitress was lovely girl... she was sweet , helpful friendly and efficient.

Drinks were good. I love the seasonal ones. Had a Manhattan that had rim drenched in caramel and a pumpkin espresso martini was a hit with us.

Food - my friend had a the baked seafood medley which was delicious since I sampled it. I had the fish and chips- which was good but damn it I wish I had the medley too . lol

Would definitely come back when I'm in town again

Rate 3.5 Walking around Salem and found this restaurant to try out. It was crowded but we didn't have to wait too long as we sat outside with no shade. I believe Chris was our server.He was truly nice and accommodating . We appreciate that. I was also excited about the great ratings on Yelp so I had high expectations. I don't know, the meals were cold when it arrived , especially the fries and the food was ok. Maybe I ordered something that wasn't their specialty.

Some of the best seafood in Salem hands down!! We popped in for lunch on a friday afternoon and sat at the bar. The bartender was so fun and nice and helped us with our food and drink selections. We had a fish cake, and the buffalo fried scallops to start and they were fantastic, and so plump and juicy. I had a lobster roll for the main course and it absolutely did not disappoint. Ive never had a meal at Turner's that I didnt like!

I was visiting a friend in Boston and they brought me to Turner's Seafood for dinner. It was excellent. One of the best crab cake sandwiches I have ever had. The servers were very nice and we were seated right away. It was a great evening.

I spent the day in Salem and had late lunch so coming inside away from the cold and having something to eat was finally nice.

I had the lobster bisque and a drink. When I received my lobster bisque it was a cup, but I assumed it was a bowl. Since it was much later in the day I ordered an additional bowl of clam chowder soup. The soup was creamy and very delicious. I enjoyed both a lot.
