Acme Cafe

Acme Cafe is known for their chicken and waffles and so I needed to try! I wasn’t disappointed! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Delicious! They also have a delicious eggs Benedict and traditional breakfast dishes. The service was great and very friendly staff. We will come again! They could use a little updating:)

Very nice, cozy eatery with a nice menu and even nicer staff. Service was very good with servers being super friendly and just nice. Food was delicious, I had the special, meatball sandwich which was made with very good care. Bread was buttered and toasted to show how much they put into every dish. Great breakfast, lunch spot in salem.

The food was very good. You will enjoy it and I think have no complaints on the food. We were there for breakfast. This restaurant is a breakfast/lunch I rated this place 4 stars as the owner need to put some money into the upkeep of the building. Bare minimum a paint job and some extra cleaning. You will see in the pictures the bathroom wall has some caked on dirt on it and that was taken to show you my reader an example. Also their is no friendliness from the staff on my visit. The staff had an whatever attitude towards us. DONT get me wrong they were not unfriendly I was treated with tolerance. Overall good good food!! Tolerable staff.

Been meaning to try this place for a while as it was just down the street from my daughter's house when we went to visit. Finally got the chance for dinner and we had a great meal. We were too full for dessert but they looked amazing as well. Wish they served breakfast all day as those look awesome, too.

This is a cozy cafe that I would like to return to. The meals looked really good, but we were just there for ice cream. The staff could do much better. We were asked to wait, then about 20 minutes later, they offered to seat us at the bar, which was available when we walked in. They did the same thing to a family who was waiting when we arrived. We actually watched servers play not it, when it came to waiting on customers. There was one staff member who was really efficient and took care of guests while the other two screwed around. All this happened a few feet from us. So other than needing some staff who care about providing good service, I'd say this is a great place for a hot lunch on a rainy day.

There was once a time this was a great breakfast spot. Unfortunately the last few years have been not so great and I would not recommend this place. Sorry they can’t blame the pandemic when so many breakfast spots in Salem continued to operate with pleasant service and food. Such a shame Acme was once highly recommended and now it is being known for bad service and food. How did they go so wrong so fast?
