Fountain place restaurant 232 Essex Street, Salem, MA 01970

"I got the Maryland Eggs Benedict. I would say it was pretty good, but I also have nothing to compare it to. It felt a little cramped in there due to how busy it was, however, we overall had a good experience."

"Very good breakfast. The eggs Benedict with home fries was a great way to start the day. Our waitress Holly was very nice and attentive."

"Just keep walking. We stopped here for breakfast this morning and wish we hadn't. The service was slow and not friendly at all, the coffee was weak and the food subpar. We were a party of 4 and 2 meals were brought out first, followed by the 3rd 5-10 mins later and after another 10 mins my waffle and home fries were brought out. The side of bacon was last to arrive at the table and it had a weird yellow and greenish grey tint to it. So take our advice and keep walking!"

"This is such a cute diner and I understand why it is so popular. The server was really kind, the portions are ginormous, and the coffee will definitely wake you up. I was able to try corned beef here for the first time and it was an... interesting experience lol. Looking out the big windows early in the morning is definitely a great way to start your day in Salem!"

"A group of friends and I went to Salem for a long weekend recently and saw this place had great reviews so we figured we would give it a try. The food was excellent, service was a little bit slow but it was extremely busy so that is to be expected. Overall great atmosphere (we sat outside for breakfast) and would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Salem. I saw another review about decaf coffee not having free refills like regular coffee and we decided to try to ask. That was correct, no free refills on decaf coffee which I thought was weird."
