Windjammers - Salem

I visited WindJammer's last week with three friends. We were going to have a bite to eat and play their Golden Tee machine. The place itself is clean, rather dark atmosphere, cozy. I am a disabled person, suffering from a neurological disorder. I was greeted by a very snarky server who's name is Stephine. She instantly commented on why in the world was I wearing a light sweatshirt and gloves. Even though it may be a warm day I get cold easy especially going into a new environment that may have AC running cold. I ignored these initially comments and ordered a drink. My friends ordered their meals with one of them ordering a special to go. Stephine tells him, not nicely, that you cannot order a special to go but she will place the order and bring him a box. At this point she notices me sitting at the table but I don't have my shoes on. This is a result of my condition that it causes estreem pain. Stephine rudely and loudly says I have to have shoes on. I explain to her I'm disabled and confining myself to the table. She asks, do you have a permit? At this point I'm assuming she means a disable permit, which of course I do, however, I have no interest in doing anything at this point but leaving this very mean server. My friends embarrassed for me, pay up and we are getting ready to leave. Obviously this wasn't enough for Stephine who as I'm leaving says, again loudly, next time you come in here you better bring that permit, I'll not allow this to happen again. The food my friends had said was good. Nicely priced. Still the service cannot be forgiven by me. In all my dealings with Salem and may it be, bar, restaurant, or any establishment I have never been or seen a disabled person treated so poorly. If you are Disabled bypass WindJammer's or at least bypass Stephine.

This bar is better on nights it lets me down than most bars are on the best night ever. It's like Cheers had a baby with a minivan and you got to spend your time with that baby always feeling drunk attractive. It's cozy, loud, dark (but not scary dark). I came here after the first time I got scared by a gif set on /nosleep, and one time after a spider crawled over the back of my hand, just to feel safe. that's the kind of bar it is. I have been drinking here for damn near 10 years. This struck me tonight, I want to point out that it's really been the service for me from the very beginning the week I turned 21 I left a pair of heels here (ladies, you feel me) the bartender remembered my name when I came back for them the next evening. I still feel that cared for today, and every time I come here.

I am newly back to tow, and have had nothing but great experiences here. I 1st came here on a recommendation from my boyfriend. He comes different hours than I do, but had good things to say. I have come on mult days/times so far. Ben, Kim, Kelly, Stephanie, and Beth do a good job. They each have their quirks, but I have never found myself without drink or without good companionship. Great job guys!

This is a pretty quiet place on a Thursday at 7 or 8. There were people on the patio so, maybe it's more lively on less warm nights. From the clientele tonight, this appears to be a favorite of the 50+ set. The food seems decent. The nightly specials run from 4 9 PM. On this night, Thursday, I had the steak fettuccini which had good flavor. Monday it's tacos; Tuesday, tostadas; Wednesday, spaghetti; Friday, prime rib; Saturday, sirloin steak; Sunday, prime rib burgers. Overall, reasonable food for a reasonable price. Drinks vary on price in other words, the prices seem high for some things and low for others. Worth a shot.

I am afraid standards have slipped at Windjammers Restaurant Neighborhood Bar. Pizza has been taken off the menu. Our server, Jennifer (a real sweetheart , was insistent that pizza has been off the menu for more than 19 months. Too bad, the pizza was something Windjammers did right. I've stopped ordering the Beef Stroganoff because the last two times I had it, the dish was a disaster gluey pasta and tough chewy beef. Very disappointing. Tonight, four of us met for dinner at Windjammers. Two of us had the Thursday Night Special: Pork Ribs, Fries, Coleslaw and Garlic Bread $7.95. It was just OK, both of us agreed we wouldn't order the ribs again. One of us ordered the Pork Sliders, Tater Tots and Coleslaw $6.95. The cook forgot the Coleslaw, (no big loss , but she said the Sliders and the Tater Tots (a substitution were good. The last person ordered the Fish and Chips, Fries and Coleslaw $10.95. He said the Fries were the worst he had ever had. They were cold, and he left most of them on the plate. All in all, disappointing. Two Star Food and Four Star Service (Thank You, Jennifer!
