Park Lunch — Restaurant in Newburyport

A ten minute walk from the bridge 🌉 at the edge of downtown Newburyport. It was a nice 👍 neighborhood to walk through and smell the flowers 🌼. We dined outside. I had a burger 🍔 with lettuce 🥬, tomato 🍅, onion 🧅 and mayo and a side of pasta salad. My friend, she had the special, a grilled chicken 🍗 wrap with balsamic vinaigrette, feta cheese, red onion 🧅 and spinach with fries. Both of us had unsweetened ice tea for drinks. All of the food was good, though I 🤔 thought 💭 the pasta salad could have had a little more mayo. The macaroni was perfectly cooked, no undercooked noodles. Prices are reasonable. I compared online to downtown Newburyport restaurant's prices and Park Lunch is competitive. Burger 🍔 goes up in price the more you want with it. Portion to price, especially the macaroni salad, is good. The chicken 🐔 wrap was a daily special, not a menu item. Wifi available. Facemasks are not required. Bathrooms were in good shape. AC was on inside. Service was good! Light rock played on the speaker 🔊, 🦅 Eagles, Mac, Queen 👑, Petty, ECT. If you dine outside, be careful of the tables. The breeze started to tilt the table a little. I kept my foot 👣 on a table leg to keep it steady. I recommend a visit. Update: Sunday afternoon, July 2021; We ate inside. We ordered a pizza 🍕 and the kids really liked it. My finicky daughter asked for more. The inside was crowded, not much space to move. Sports memorabilia covered the...

👉 First timers! Visiting the area from 📍 South Florida. Stopped in for an impromptu lunch driving from Salisbury Boardbord to our campground in South Hampton, NH. 🫶Best Decision Ever.🫶

We were pleasantly surprised walking in and seeing the vibe and atmosphere. Loved all the college/ university flags. Bummed we didn't see Amherst, but we forgive you.

We started with the soup of the day, stuffed mushroom soup. Just wow. So much flavor, so thick and creamy, and loaded with mushrooms. Each spoonful had not "a" mushroom but multiple, Yum!

Spouse had the meatball sub and couldn't finish it. It was packed with flavor, and the meatballs were the size of golf balls.

I had the roast beef sandwich. They sure weren't skimpy with the meat. It was thickly stacked.

We shared the sour cream & chive fries. At first, I got bummed 'cause I thought it would have those ingredients on top, but later, I learned the fries were infused with it. After my first fry, I became addicted. They were total perfection!

Our server was Lori, and she was so friendly and attentive and welcoming. We can totally imagine being a local, and in no time, being known by name and our favorite dishes, because these...

Old school sports bar serving the true 'Porters! Friendly foods and really great food! Inside it has a wooden bar and dining area for about 50 folks! You're surrounded by sports memorabilia, mostly Newburyport High and college teams. Service was fast and very friendly. Very clean place throughout. I came because I'd heard that have excellent fried clams. Verdict: AWESOME! Huge portion of super sweet clans, fried just to crispy. (Now right at the moment clams are in short supply and great demand, so prices are through the roof! This serving was $36.95). Note: Please see the picture of the clam plate after I finished the clams. Sir places cover a giant mound of fries with a few clams. This was almost all clams! (Disclaimer...my wife ate about 5 fries before I took the pic!) My wife got a meatball sub, which was good and a nice sauce as well. A couple beers and it was an awesome lunch at a reasonable cost, if not for the current markup on clams. I would highly recommend a stop here when in Newburyport to avoid the touristy places on...
