Set in the historic Newmark building in the heart of downtown Salem, Counter is our modern take on a lunch counter with a dining experience rooted in fresh, simple, modern food.

Our Salem restaurant features an open-concept kitchen and dining for 50 on the first floor of The Hotel Salem. Serving breakfast, lunch and simple dinners, the menu reflects focuses on creative seasonal items, including  Counter’s signature Industry Burger, and will offer items to-go, Wednesday-Sunday until 9 PM.

Executive Chef Justin Perdue has created a menu celebrating regional New England flavors, featuring clever starters, breads, and main dishes, as well as handmade pasta dishes crafted with our traditional pasta-making machine.
