Longboards Restaurant & Bar
About
Longboards Restaurant & Bar is a Salem waterfront spot where locals and visitors gather for sandwiches, award-winning lobster, steak tips and flatbread pizzas served on long boards. It has an oceanfront deck and bar, and the restaurant promotes what it calls the best sunset in Salem. The menu aims to have something for everyone, and the space is described as lively and casual, a neighborhood joint for locals and a must-stop for visitors.
Brothers Justin and Matthew Mattera started the business in 2011 by buying The Hungry Whale, a small variety store they turned into a sandwich shop where they perfected the classic New England lobster roll. They added a dining room and full bar in 2013, and in 2023 the team moved into a bigger building just across the courtyard. Games include shuffleboard, darts and arcade games.
