Just had an outstanding time at the Village in Essex! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was top-notch. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I will definitely be returning soon!

Spectacular- been here at least two dozen times – just the best. You kinda like onion rings? Just get them as an appetizer – just do it – a small order is generous – it’ll knock your socks off.

Ordered drinks. Ordered dinner right away. Waitress was excellent. She came and apologized once as it was extremely delayed. Waited longer while watching many others who came in afterwards get their appetizers while we were still waiting for our meals. Meals were nothing special that would cause delays. We waited longer then waitress came over and what we we thought maybe manager although she did not say who she was, but told us it would another 10 minutes. We asked for the bill for drinks and paid. This is certainly not the village of old or the quality and customer service that had in past. Normally would always rave about the food and send people who were looking for great seafood and atmosphere. Will no longer recommend..

We pulled off looking for a place to eat as we drove through Essex, looked up from our phones and saw this gem sitting in front of us. Straight in, ordered quick, food came fast. We had a large bowl of clam chowder which we shared. Plenty of meat and potatoes along with good flavor. Then we each had the Haddock Sandwich with fries. Very good and fresh! Will return!

This was my first time at the Village and it certainly won’t be my last. We made reservations because it was a Friday night and we didn’t want to have to wait.

Took my family here for Mother’s Day. I ordered the Grilled Salmon and we shared the Onion Rings, Clam Chowder and Corn Bread.

This restaurant is known as an ‘old peoples place’, and it has not been updated in ages, but I’ve never eaten here when the food hasn’t been excellent. Outstanding fried seafood including clams. Excellent onion rings. Delicious baked fish and seafood casserole with signature crumb topping. My favorite is surf and surf…fried clams with baked haddock. Good dessert menu. Plenty of parking. It may not be hip but its good!

Love Essex, the seafood restaurants and the area! We’ve gone to other places in the same area and have never been disappointed.
