Saltbox Kitchen

Saltbox Kitchen is a beloved New American restaurant and craft brewery located at 84 Commonwealth Avenue in the heart of historic Concord, Massachusetts. Founded by Chef Ben Elliott, this family-owned establishment sources the majority of its ingredients from Saltbox Farm, a working farm established by his grandparents in the 1940s. The restaurant is celebrated for its commitment to seasonal, farm-to-table dining that honors New England culinary traditions while embracing contemporary flavors. Beyond its exceptional dining room, Saltbox Kitchen houses Saltbox Brewery, Concord's only craft brewery, offering house-made beers including lagers, ales, and seasonal brews that pair perfectly with the menu. The venue features regular themed dining events such as Oyster Night with Cuttyhunk Shellfish Farm, Friday BBQ nights under the tent, Irish Night, Italian Red Sauce Night, and the popular Burger Night. Private event catering is available, and the restaurant has earned recognition as a Best of Boston-winning caterer. Guests can enjoy takeout, prepared dishes, sandwiches, fresh salads, baked pastries, and locally roasted coffee alongside Saltbox Brewery beers to-go or for dine-in. The warm, rustic atmosphere reflects the agricultural heritage of the farm while providing a welcoming space for community gatherings, family dinners, and special celebrations throughout the year.
