Was Anonym at Three Cod Tavern a mag?
I dined here twice during my trip to Marmorhead—once for lunch and once for dinner. After a long drive, we just needed a place to grab a bite, and from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere was friendly with fast and energetic service, and the seafood was excellent. Both meals were fresh and hot, and our drinks were cold and strong, which was the perfect combination for weary travelers like us. This... View all feedback.
What kaitlyn weiss dislikes about Three Cod Tavern:
We stopped in the “spirits” side to have a couple drinks and the unwelcoming feeling was pretty embarrassing. I wouldn't even give this place one star.. It was very apparent they did not want to serve us. We were finally given food menus, never even asked us if we wanted a drink. Which is odd because if we were wanting to eat we would have sat on the dining side. Don’t go here unless you feel like getting stared down... View all feedback.

Always great food and friendly service.
Great cozy little place to get away with friends ?
Love this traditional New England restaurant, been two or three times now. The prices are better than the restaurants on the waterfront and the dishes are good without being pretentious.
Generous portions and friendly staff. Service is excellent.
The food at Three Cod Tavern was great. I enjoyed the bacon-wrapped scallops and surf and turf. The baked potato could have used a bit more salt, but the scallops were fantastic. The atmosphere was pleasant. This was my first time visiting Marblehead.

The food was very good. I had the haddock. Wife had fried pickles that were also terrific! The best however, is the staff!! I can?t stress this enough. EVERYONE we spoke to was over the top helpful and friendly!! Do not miss this while in the area.Thanks!!
This restaurant is incredible! We go at least once a week. The fried haddock is simply delicious, and the steak tips are some of our favorites. The shrimp scampi is consistently excellent too. The restaurant is clean, and the service is exceptional. We always leave feeling satisfied and have never had a bad experience!
This charming little place is located in a lovely town. While I found there to be a bit too much fried food for my taste, the cornbread more than makes up for it. The staff is friendly and welcoming.
I visited this restaurant twice—once for lunch and once for dinner—during our trip to Marblehead. After a long drive, we were just looking for a place to eat, and as soon as we walked in, we felt immediately at home. The atmosphere was warm and lively, with quick and attentive service, and the seafood was outstanding. Both times, our meals were fresh and served hot, while our drinks were cold and refreshing—just what we needed after a tiring journey. It's a local gem, and I highly recommend checking it out.

Fabulous find..atmoshere a historic tavern, dining side for families, larger parties. Bar side bar, tvs, high tops tables.. very happy fun area. Table for 2 in corner was perfect to watch staff interactions customers. Our waitress Carolyne was gracious and welcoming. In Marblehead..wanted fish order Fish Chips..busy dining room got our food fast. Haddock was fresh, coating was perfect. Large portion with fries. Coleslaw tangy and good. There was no leftovers. This was a wonderful lunch and a must try. Owner chatted with everyone as she sat them. She loves what she does and proud of what she and her husband have done for last 15 years. WE WILL BE BACK.
Ate here twice (lunch, then dinner) during our visit to Marblehead. First stop was after driving for hours and just needed a place to eat. Upon walking in we immediately felt welcome. Townie atmosphere with quick, lively service and really good seafood. Both visits our food was fresh and hot, while our drinks were cold and strong. Perfect combo for us weary travelers. Owned by locals and well worth the visit.
Awesome place we go there at least once a week. The fried haddock is delicious the steak tips are also one of our favorite dishes. the shrimp scampi is always good. the restaurant is clean and the service is amazing. we always leave with a full belly and are never disappointed!!
They have the best clam chowder and fish tacos in the state. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Marblehead!
This restaurant has a delightful ambiance, friendly staff, and outstanding food. Finding parking was simple, and despite arriving on a busy Saturday night without a reservation, we were seated promptly. We sampled several specials, including the Cajun calamari and a baked crab and scallop dish, and everything was delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked! The cocktails we ordered were also extremely flavorful.

A beloved spot in the area! The food, drinks, and service are all exceptional. We come here every week. The chowder is the best I've ever had. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
I enjoyed lunch on Monday afternoon with my daughter, who recently relocated to Marmorhead. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and was quite quiet, which made it a bit lonely for the waitress.

Fish chowder was full of chunks of fish and it was served hot! Great for a snowy winter night!
I tried the lobster and clam chowder, and they were absolutely fantastic! The service was wonderful and friendly, thanks to Marcy and the rest of the staff. Plus, we enjoyed deliciously warm, fresh maize bread and rolls. I highly recommend this restaurant!
The food is excellent, the bartenders are friendly, and there’s a great selection of craft beers on tap. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
I always have a great experience at this restaurant. The food is delicious, and it has a genuine local vibe. I'm looking forward to having lunch there on Friday—I can't wait!
