As the weather turns cooler, my body starts to crave rich, hearty foods. I’m talking about meals like Yankee pot roast, lobster pie, and chicken, broccoli & ziti. Comfort foods like these have a special way of warming my heart as well as my soul. Fortunately, I do not need to drive far out to the country to find a great homestyle restaurant. The Century House in Peabody is forever my go-to for delicious homemade meals.

The iconic Century House restaurant is located on Route 114 on the Danvers/Peabody line.
