Great! I am soooo glad Jonathans is back. They were greatly missed. I love their food and their charm. Their Cajun popcorn shimp is the best in town!

Very Very Good Good Food – This establishment has been around since about 1980..It changed owership several years ago. The new owners made sure that all the good things didn't change. You will find a very good selection on the menue. I like having dinner in the Bar Area . Excellent service all the time.

One of our favorite Restaurants in the city of Salem! Johathans is great in every way. They have a wonderful chef. The atmosphere is perfect. The service is also top-notch. We have been Jonathan's regulars for over a decade now. We have never had a bad experience there. I wish all restaurants were this good!

Great food, atmoshphere Jonathan's has great food and a great atmosphere. You can eat on the restaurant side or the long bar side. Their speciality is cajun and so they offer a wide range of delicious cajun food. They also have seafood, steak, chicken, etc but I go for the cajun specials.
