Samuel Slater's

“Great day to celebrate! Had a moment to go here & had a perfect old fashion, T-bone Steak & the misses tried the UDON noodle bowl with Kim-chee. Nice view, good foods & company. Reasonable prices too!(note Sunday closes at 3pm).”

“I have been a few times and am always happy. If it's nice you might eat on the deck, the view is lovely. The food is always good and the service is impeccable. This time I got the brisket. It was so flavorful and comes with many sides. The mac and cheese was awesome! I opted for a caesar salad instead of corn on the cob. Everything was delicious. On a side note, my nephew is going to get married here. I had no idea it was also a wedding venue. The event space is gorgeous! Spread the word.”

“Surprised ourselves with how beautiful it is to dine on the water, amazing atmosphere. The service is top-notch, staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the food and drinks. The bartender is very good; chef beyond compare. The food was fantastic. We had oysters on the half shell, fried green tomato caprese salad, pulled pork, tacos, haddock and the Meyer lemon ricotta ravioli. Tiramisu was dessert. Not a bad bite in the bunch.”

“The fish and chips looked attractive but proved to be a large, thin filet perhaps a bit overcooked. The service and view were fine, however, this is a very large, open interior with lots of glass. With only 2 other parties present you could hear conversations across the room and when loud laughter broke out it was disruptive to normal conversation. To be fair, with doors open to the deck, maybe the noise factor would be lessened and eating outside seems like it could be pleasant. I'll give it another try in better weather.”

“📍 Location & Atmosphere Nestled by the water, Samuel Slater’s gives off cozy lodge vibes with a spacious interior that’s both rustic and refined. The indoor space feels open and airy, with woodsy, natural tones that scream “weekend getaway.” There’s also a beautiful outdoor patio and a stadium setup—clearly made for live music nights and good vibes. Too bad it was rainy when we went, but you can tell it’d be a whole scene on a nice day. 🍽️ Food & Drinks We kicked things off with the mussels (yes, we had the muscles AND the mussels 💪)—and they were solid. Flavorful garlic broth, meaty bites, and a soup base that had us nearly sipping from the bowl. Only thing missing? More bread! Don’t tease us with great broth and not give enough to soak it up. For mains, I tried the Fun Guy Burger—a mushroom-forward twist on a classic. It was good, not mind-blowing, but satisfying for a casual bite. The menu leans heavy on American classics, so there’s something for every picky eater in the group. 👨‍🍳 Service & Hospitality Service was quick, efficient, and to-the-point—no fluff. Not super warm or chatty, but got the job done. Think of it like: “Hi, what can I get you?” instead of “Welcome! So glad you’re here.” Nothing bad, just not overly memorable either. 💡 Unique Selling Point The space itself is the star here. Between the large indoor dining room, waterfront views, and a full-on outdoor music setup, this place clearly knows how to host a good time. Come for a chill meal, then stay for the live music (when New England weather cooperates).”
