Our seasonal menus feature fresh ingredients from Saltbox Farm, Chef Ben Elliott’s family farm built by his grandparents in the 1940s. Stop in to pick up prepared dishes, sandwiches and salads, freshly baked pastries, tea & coffee, and Saltbox Brewery beer to-go or stay and dine in with us! In all that we do, we are committed to continuing the traditions of delicious food, agriculture, family and community that have always been a part of Ben's family and of Saltbox Farm.

Saltbox Kitchen is also home to Saltbox Brewery, Concord’s only craft brewery, and Catering By Saltbox, a Best of Boston-winning caterer.

A note to our guests~

In early 2021, we made the decision to include a 4.25% Kitchen Appreciation Fee on all checks in an effort to more fairly compensate our cooks and dishwashers who, by law, are not eligible to receive a portion of tips.

We joined our colleagues in Boston, Cambridge, and the surrounding areas who had adopted this practice in an attempt to close the historic wage gap inequality between servers (“front of the house” or FOH) and cooks & dishwashers (“back of the house” or BOH)  without raising prices on the menus. By adding a fee, the BOH is able to directly benefit from revenue, something not possible if we simply increase the prices on the menu.

The rising costs of doing business over the past few years have made it challenging for a small business and have required us to think creatively about how to make this business model work - for our team, for you, our guests, and for the future of Saltbox. We remain committed to continuing the agricultural traditions of the farm, creating delicious farm to table dishes, and being a part of this incredible community.

We very much hope this modest fee is agreeable to you and that you understand what we are trying to achieve. Thank you for your continued support!

Ben Elliott, Chef/Owner
