Maddie's Sail Loft

Great atmosphere and really good food. The service was excellent — the waiters genuinely care about the guests and were always attentive and helpful. It’s a very enjoyable place to spend time with friends or family. I would definitely come back.

I love this restaurant. It’s a must visit for tourists and a staple for the locals! Great food, something for everyone on the menu and great prices. The drinks are famous and it’s a hop skip and a jump to the ocean and located in heart in the service district. You can go in fur and early lunch and meet Gina at the bar diebstsurs or enjoy a meal upstairs. The kitchen is open u til 10! Enjoy!

Maddie’s Sail Loft, unpretentious with a dark interior, is favored by savvy locals and smart tourists. We were served excellent food and the prices are right. We blew into town, our first visit, and there’s no direct route to M’head. Read the reviews, could have chosen a waterfront joint that was way too pricey, opted for Maddie’s and so glad we did. Courtney, the lone bartender and server was great and fun. The place was very busy. She’s been there some 7 years. The Margaritas were generous. The Fish and Chips were EXO. Fresh Haddock and piping hot. Killer fries. The Onion rings were hand battered, not frozen and soo good. Never had Fish Tacos, had seen fried fish served in the shells at other places, these were fresh pcs. of haddock within coiled shells, unable to pick up from the moist

Stayed in Marblehead 5 nights, ate here 3 times! Obviously extremely popular with locals as it was busy every time, we just put our names down and went for a walk by the habour to pass the time - their reservation system tells you how long and how many tables in front of you but it was never more than about 30 mins. Popular for a reason too - great food, good sized portions, but be warned as the drinks are served strong! Not complaining as it was only a short walk from the hotel. Just a comment on the welcome - we went into a packed downstairs the first night, and I was just trying to find out where to sit, how to go upstairs, and a local couple guided me to the empty spot next to them to sit, and couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful.

This was a great find in Marblehead! Relaxed, casual vibe with lots of great food offerings. I think everything on the menu is fairly priced. We had the shrimp scampi with garlic bread - the shrimp were huge! The special was a stuffed lobster and it was amaaazing. The server was very attentive and funny. They also have a great selection of drinks. If you're in the area, I would make time to visit for lunch or dinner!
