“This restaurant came highly recommended. So on the way home on our last day of vacation we decided to treat ourselves with a nice sitdown dinner. The place was practically empty so we're figuring everything is going to be great! Food came cold and my beer was warm. The server did remedy the situation but how hard is it to make sure food is hot when you have a nearly empty restaurant? I'm going to chalk this up as an off day. I may give them another try next year.“

“Visiting the area and wanted something a little different but comforting at the same time. So we found tailgaters and My husband and I both got burgers. I had the au jus which was outstanding. Give you a half a small cup of onion soup to dip your hamburger in that had the caramelized onions from the soup on it. So good. My husband had an overstacked burger that had sweet bacon and honest. I can't remember what else but I had a bite. It was delicious. Presentation of the food was outstanding. The burger was semi-open so you could see it and the fries came in a cute little fryer basket and they were crunchy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. We went in after 3:00 and I hit the happy hour time and got a half off appetizer and had their garlic parmesan wings. They were delicious. Extra meaty. We had a very attentive waitress and enjoyed ourselves in the atmosphere with all the tailgates of trucks. It was very clever. We will drive back an hour to come and have another experience at this restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, plenty of parking located in a strip mall. Large single bathrooms.“

“Went for dinner while in the area. Did not have to wait long before being seated. Waitress was very attentive and food was served quickly. My husband and I split a combo meal and we each had plenty. We ordered 3 mini desserts which was just enough to end the meal.

Parking: Large lot with plenty of parking spots“

“We had lunch there on 06/28/21. We had an appointment at Anna Jacques and let the waitress know that we were in a hurry. She put a rush on our meals. The food was great, especially the fries! The waitress gave excellent, friendly service. We will be back!“

“Shout out to Joe tonight for the best grilled chicken ceaser salad ever!! It was delicious!!“

“OMG- the BEST whole belly clams. Even the small plate was HUGE. Great service and delicious food.“

“I cannot say enough about this place. I’m only disappointed that we slacked on visiting for as long as we did. Since our first visit, Rick’s has been a top choice for date night, family dinner or a casual night out. Their menu is amazing, specials are always top notch, cocktails are perfect every.single.time. And the staff is absolutely top notch. Every visit is better than the next. The inside is charming and cozy, the specials are exciting, well planned and perfectly executed. We are so incredibly lucky to have this place near by. Keep crushing it Rick’s! We love you!“

“We came to the restaurant after our elopement. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing. My children are extremely picky eaters and they each found something they loved. My 14-year-old said the wagyu beef meatballs were the best thing she's ever had. All of the food was absolutely delicious! We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you to all the staff for such an exceptional experience on such a special day.“

“A very pleasant choice for simple breakfast. Family run diner with lots of charm and personality. We had the pancakes and the Korean bbq Benedict. I wouldn’t have thought bulgolgi beef would go well with hollandaise - but I was wrong. Not fancy, but plenty friendly and worth the visit for breakfast!“

“Great food at a great price. Theresa & the staff are great. The entertainment has come a long way. Not too loud - just right for the size of the restaurant. Tonight (8/24) the music was exceptional. Thanks for having us.“

“Had lunch on Tuesday Prime rib taco !!!Can’t be beat my companion had the Taco bowl salad said it was amazing and of course the bartender’s are the best… shout out to Heather who was working that day !!!!“

“The food is fresh and deliciously prepared. There are a lot of “diners” in the north shore with good reviews, and the food usually tastes heavy, overly salted, and sometimes out of a can. Despite all of the other good reviews, I expected that from this place as well, partially because of the unassuming storefront in a plaza off rte 1. I was very pleasantly surprised! So many freshly baked breakfast goods, and the egg dishes we ordered were great. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will be back!“

“Delicious breakfast! Everything cooked perfectly!“

“Delicious food, great cosmos cocktails and music. But the best is Mike, the owner/bartender. Great guy and chef!“

“Look this is an old school bar with fair prices and probably the only true bar left in town. It's not fancy but it's a lot fancier than it used to be. The food was alway ok but this new guy knows how to select and fry a piece of fish you will be hard pressed to find a better piece of fried fish in town. Sorry I lready had a bite“

“Local’s has become one of my favorite places to eat on the seacoast! Wings are amazing, drinks are excellent, beer is cold and the pizza is out of this world. Don’t sleep on the salad because they have some real gems. Philly egg rolls are my favorite app too. The best quality is how friendly they are and it truly is a local vibe. I had my mother’s mercy meal there and everything was done with care and to perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate her life. Definitely check them out sometime, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Local’s for being a wonderful business in so many ways!“

“We enjoyed another great evening at the Epoch last night. The chicken sandwich was delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Sean was our server and he was awesome! Had us laughing, was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. Can't wait to go back again.“

“The man at the desk was very very kind. Great customer service! Food is also great. 10/10 recommend!!“

“My hat's off to the wait staff there. While my wife and I were trying to leave there today there was a tremendous rain downpour. A couple of young staff scrambled to find an umbrella. One of the help came over to us as we stood just outside the entry door and handed us the umbrella and said that someone left it behind probably months ago and asked us to take it. This is just a sample of the attentiveness of the staff at Angie's. We always have a great dining experience there.“

“Delicious! Glad to have a full breakfast place right in downtown!“
