“Loved this experience! The ambiance upstairs was perfect and the cocktails were unique and delicious. The food was fantastic and I highly recommend the scallops. A dessert drink finished my night and I would highly recommend this for a date night dinner!“

“I have been here several times. And the ambiance is always great. The staff is great. I have had the duck, land, and steak, they were all delicious. The French onion soup is really good. Everything I have ordered here has not disappointed in taste. You can spend $100 on one person with food and drinks. But you should come here for the food and experience not the price if that matters to you.“

“The Puddle Dock was pretty much exactly as I expected, considering how much I had looked into it ahead of time. The entire reason for going was for the rarebit my boss had informed me of during a discussion about foods I had grown up with.The food was all incredible and was interesting to see the inside of the building since I had grown up going to Strawberry Bank as a child and getting pickles from a pickle barrel when it was a store. The post and beam structure still looks incredible and the layout of the bar is extremely well done. The atmosphere that is given was extremely laid back. The one thing that took away, for me, was a few of the wait staff that had come by have an arrogance when speaking to you that is a bit off putting. It is clear that it is not all of them but enough to discourage.I had an old fashioned, the rarebit which came with bits of duck, brussel sprouts and a fried egg on top as an appetizer and the Shepard's pie as a meal. The Shepard's pie came out with a crust making it look more like pot pie but added a wonderful texture to it. The flavor was incredible though be warned of how hot that dish is and how long it will need to cool. Definitely worth the visit and experience.“

“Ate lunch with friends on drive home from Logan on our way back home from London. Our first meal back from London is a tough one. The food was fantastic. Had a nice window table with a view of the sparkly water. There was a vent blowing cold air underneath our table, but fortunately the server provided a small mat to cover it up. The cocktails were en pointe and well balanced - not too sweet which we appreciated. Even though we are all seafood lovers, two of the stars of the meal were the buffalo cauliflower ( great sauces and nicely fried- not greasy or soggy) and believe it or not, my daughter’s grilled chicken caesar was also really nicely done on all fronts. We all loved the haddock reuben ( again many nice touches- great cook on the fish, delicious sauces). I already mentioned the drinks. Cocktails were awesome ( we tried 3 different ones from the menu). My chief and probably only complaint would have to be the wine pours. I am spending top dollar on quality food at a respected restaurant- please give me a glass of wine. We spent over 300$ at your establishment, don’t serve me a splash of wine. Rather insulting. Everything else was wonderful. Kitchen staff are doing it right and our server Sierra was great. Bar program - don’t serve skimpy wine pours.“

“Great place for a fancy night out! The duck was very good and falling off the bone (one piece was a little drier than the other) and the rice with the sauce was definitely top notch. I would highly recommend the brioche donuts for dessert. I still crave more of the donuts “

“This place is pretty rad. My gf and I were looking for a cool spot for lunch (she's vegetarian, I'm not) and we found this joint. Sat at the bar, our server Lindsey was present but not looming, helpful but not pushy and kinda funny. Cocktail menu seemed new w names like "almost summer" and a solid beer list. The menu is broad enough that there were MANY options for each of us, and the portions were average to large. Whoever said the portions were small needs to stop ordering off the kids menu. Good music that you can recognize but always in the background. Just a cool, funky joint w great food. Eat here.“

“From the minute you walk into The Franklin you feel the warmth of the space. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. We ate everything and it was flippin amazing - I took my sister and her husband here and his eyes lit up when he caught site of the selection of oysters! He still talks about The Franklin and makes me take him there every time they are in town.“

“We eat at Betty's Kitchen at least once each time we come to Rye. We love this place for the comfort food breakfast. The menu has plenty of choices for egg omelettes, pancakes, French Toast, meats, and sides without the menu being too long. Absolutely have to try it.Parking: Parking is plentiful.“

“Great food and some unique combinations of ingredients. Spinach salad was excellent. Very tasty roasted garlic dressing. Had the stuffed sole special. Sauce was a lemon caper which over powered the delicate fish although my friend loved it. Tight seating so not much privacy between tables. We got there just before 5pm on a Thursday in March and place was almost full. They don't take reservations so go early.Parking: Small parking lot for restaurant. Street parking available“

“A local hole in the wall tucked away in downtown Hampton. The menu is simple fairly priced and everything is made to order. Staff are friendly service was quick and we did not wait long for the food to arrive. Great selection of toast and pastries. No frills but worth a visit. Off street parking makes it easy to access.“

“I personally did not eat here but my wife and daughter, who has a severe dairy allergy ate here last night. My wife was overwhelmed with how accommodating they were and the level of seriousness that they took her allergy. I can't begin to tell you how amazing it is for us to go out to eat "like normal families do" and for it to not be a STRICTLY vegan restaurant. My wife told me she was close to tears. I just wanted to thank the staff at this great restaurant for giving them this experience. My wife and daughter are in town for a tour of UNH and I am very happy to know she will have a safe place to hang with friends and get a bite to eat without worry. It will definitely make the 5 and a half hour drive a little easier.Dietary restrictions: Severe dairy allergy“

“I haven't had a full 5 star experience at a place in a while. This is a restaurant but honestly it felt like so much more than a simple place to sit and be served food. John and Susan, the owners, were great to chat with. The space was decorated with a great vibe. The food was absolutely spectacular with unexpected flavors that were delicious. It's not cheap but it's a great value in my opinion. Highly recommend.“

“Listen, I'm a corned beef Hash in a can type of girl. Many times I've had "home-made" CBH in a restaurant and been disappointed. I made the decision to try the home-made CBH at Rick's... and it was magical. The corned beef was just the right toughness and the potatoes and peppers were cooked perfectly. The staff here were so happy and upbeat even on a cold Maine day in March. Thank you all for a great experience, I will definitely be back!“

“I've been visiting on and off occasionally for a few decades. Every time I drive by, the restaurant is busy!I've never had a bad meal or experience.My recent breakfast ? was good ?! I had the Californian Benedict with hash browns and a side of sourdough toast. Coffee ☕ to start. Enjoyable!Service was good ?! I was greeted at the door ? with a smile ?. My server at first seemed grumpy but became more friendly when I said my meal was good ?. Free ? refill on the coffee!The music ? was what is now considered "classic" light rock and country. It was at a pleasant volume and threw my mind back ? in time.If you go for breakfast ??, go early!! Portions to the price are good.I recommend a visit.Vegetarian options: Lunch would be a better chance for something vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Let your server know about your dietary limitations ahead of time before ordering.Parking: The restaurant has its own parking ?️ lot.Kid-friendliness: Families are welcomed but call ahead for available seating.Wheelchair accessibility: Space is tight but they can accommodate a wheelchair ♿.“

“I've been to Tour on several occasions - dinner with my daughter, date night with my husband and a larger event/bday party. The simulators are a lot of fun, and if you are not into golf, it is also just a great restaurant to enjoy in town. They also have a nice bar and several screens for watching any type of sporting event. Definitely a great place to check out!“

“I'll be honest with all of you... This place is a small breakfast and early lunch location... the Woman who work here are very attentive to your needs... the real reason for anyone to go there is for there homemade Bread and Muffins plus Donuts... there out of this world... if you want Raisin Bread you have to order that ahead of time... Trust me Vrry Very GOODKid-friendliness: It's a place for mothers not to worry about“

“Finally placed a takeout order at Bob's having passed by it many times, and glad we tried it. Our order was ready on time as promised and was accurately put together. I tried a broiled quarter chicken with two sides (mac & cheese, sausage stuffing) and some corn bread. Everything seemed home made, hot and quite tasty. The stuffing really seemed home made, but the mac and cheese was a tad dry for my liking. The chicken was tender, moist and delicious. Like most food these days at any restaurant/supermarket, prices seemed a tad high. Portion sizes were generous however. I'll be back to try the chicken pot pie, which is one of my favorite comfort food dishes. Give Bob's a try! Sorry no photos as I dug in so quickly I forgot to snap first!“

“Hands down the best restaurant in the Ogunquit, York Cape Neddick, York area. I have had the Seafood Scampi and the Chicken Piccata. Both were completely delicious. Reasonable proces. The side salad is unbelievable. Homemade pasta. The chef is truly a chef. Huge portions. Highly recommend“

“Pretty busy at 630am on a Monday. But for good reason. Food was really good, had the hash house Benedict and it was cooked to perfection, including the potatoes. Only thing that stops the dish from being perfect was the hollandaise, it wasn’t bad but if it was better it would just make it flawless. The service was great even considering how busy it was. Would definitely recommend.“

“This was a fantastic surprise. I happened to be in the area, and found this restaurant on Yelp. Glad I did!My dinner guest and I loved the place before we were seated. Great decor, terrific lighting, and the kind of casual and relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. Our server, Niki, was super-friendly and helpful throughout our meal.We ordered several sides and split a burger. First out were the meatballs. Three giant meatballs covered in delicious sauce, cheese, and pesto. Tender, savory, perfect. Next up was whipped feta with honey and dates. Pita triangles were used to scoop up the feta, and the combination was amazing. Like savory Greek yogurt, but better! The fried Louisiana fried shrimp were fantastic, served with a mango chili dip. The truffle fries were hot and crispy, perfectly seasoned (generously) with intense truffle flavor, and served with a fabulous garlic aioli.We chose to split the pastrami burger, which was incredible - familiar flavors all pulled together into one delicious burger.I have a feeling this is a gem for locals around York. If I lived here, this would be a regular go-to place for me. When the check came, I thought they made a mistake; for the quantity and quality of the food, this was an absolute bargain.Truly one of the best meals I've had in a long time, and you can't beat the ambiance and service!If you're near York, Maine, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't be disappointed!“

“A delicious and memorable dining experience. The charm factor of this beautiful old space is off the charts and the staff were warm and friendly. Chef Evan Mallet is a wizard at sourcing the best local and seasonal ingredients. You can taste the passion and culinary skill in each dish. Reservations are not required but are highly suggested on busy nights. Pro tip: ask for the window tables upstairs to enjoy a romantic sunset!“

The owners are wonderful also and you feel so welcomed all the time .We both got a fish dish which was so well seasoned and delicious . They also have amazing vegetarian option which we have tried many times .It’s our favorite place for Birthdays , Anniversary or any other reason .

“UPDATE 2/27/24- After a few good experiences we brought some out-of-town guests. Several of the food items were cold or barely heated and had to be sent back. It was kind of embarrassing after telling our guests what a great place it is, disappointing....PREVIOUS REVIEW I expected tender, juicy, smokey, meat with a good bark from a barbecue restaurant. What I didn't expect was the surprise of smoked maple sugar granules in the oysters, a delicious fiddlehead relish with the coffee rubbed smoked pork belly, and the grilled pound cake, probably the best dessert I have had in years! Very attentive service as well. Wow!“

“Ordered delivery via one of the apps. I meant to order from a closer location but got Portsmouth. Delivery time was extended 3 times. My fault for living more than 5 miles from the place. The tenders were fantastic. Absolutely delicious. Could use more sauce but were fine just as they were. When I Airfried the leftovers they were also great. I got onion rings. Very greasy. Thick. Very greasy. Probably wouldn't get them again. I got fries. Cold by the time I got them. Looked under cooked. Basically cold raw limp potatoes Order the tenders-you won't go wrong.“

“First time visit and well worth it. Many beers on tap including several of their own, all which were very good. No flights offered however 4oz half pours serves the same purpose. The food was excellent as was our server. We were a party of 6 and were well taken care of in every way. We will certainly be back.“

“The staff is beyond caring. Drove up from NY. It had been awhile since I had seen my parents because I had broken both my elbows and ulnas and couldn’t move for many months. Took my mom and dad here for lunch per my mom’s request as she said it’s really her favorite. The staff quickly ran to clean off tables that people had just left. They were so understanding about my mom and dad’s walkers. They were incredible with all our different food requests and changes. Extremely patient with our complex order. They described the beer tastes and varieties for my partner. My mom is in the Cedar nursing home and she doesn’t get out much. So what they did next to make this special occasion even more special brought me to tears. My mom asked us for a popover with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. It wasn’t on the menu. They made it and brought it over to my mom. The joy on my mom’s face I will cherish forever. I can’t thank you all for creating such a special afternoon for our family. It meant the world. Big hugs!“

“I was informed the ownership of this establishment is fairly new. That said, the food is very good, (albeit the portions slightly smaller than in the past). The prices are reasonable and the restaurant definitely has a local feel despite tourists waiting to get in...“

“We went for breakfast on a rainy Friday. It was a cozy little place. Good food. Good service. Good prices. I believe it's cash only. I took off a star for staff yelling at each other, the phone had been ringing and no one was answering it. I would return.“

“Food was pretty good... always is. Service not so great. I don't need a mom telling me when I need a water. Honestly it was rude. Didn't offer me a drink but water after 2 beers. Then left us alone for an hour... Will I return? Yes probably. Because it's local and has great food. Will that waitress be there? 9/10 says no. The service switches over every 3-4 months you never get the same people and that's weird to me... but the food is solid.“
“Went to a Christmas party here, it's beautiful. The staff is very nice and the food was great. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, my only complaint, we were supposed to have dinner starting at 7, it was 830 before the salad came out and a little after 9 when dinner came.“
“We had our "wedding eve" dinner here with friends and family and it was absolutely amazing. Steve and Mike have the best energy and created such an amazing space. The outdoor space is absolutely beautiful and the food was so delicious. They were also very accommodating with all food restrictions. They made our night so special. I would highly recommend!“
“Next to the water park on Lafayette Street. It has a very good Cinemagic movie theater, McKinnon's meat market, and Petco shop. There is also a convenient and very good Starbucks.Food can be had at the 99 Restaurant, Ollie's and Me, Subway's Restaurant, and Dough Craft Pizza. Cross the street for Taco Bell and Burger King. Across the street from Starbucks is Cantina Vida.The parking lot is currently under repair and building of a new structure.“

“State Street Saloon is one of those places that make you feel welcomed. Good food at reasonable prices. Going strong forever in good times and hard times . It defines the true Portsmouth, old school, hard working town that has seen a lot of changes since my parents moved here in 1979.“

“Locals is a classic example of a sports bar. They have improved over the years but still stick to their roots. On this particular visit, we noticed how they hustled to keep everyone happy on Saint Patrick's Day. They are great at what they do.This restaurant has a massive bar, multiple TVs to watch sports, and games such as dart boards. Perfect place to catch up with friends. The drinks are STRONG! Each time I visit I can only handle one. As for the food, it is decent. If you stick to the apps and comfort food you will be satisfied. If you're looking for a drink and to watch a game, I recommend Locals.“

“Best Jamaican patty with coco bread I have found around here. One of the most authentic tasting places around. My husband ordered Ox tail which he said was very good. Could give a tad more Ox tail portions. Definitely visit here again. The owners were so nice. Mac and cheese had a kick to it. So my daughter didn't like it.“

“My only real critique is that the steaks tend to be cut a little thinner than at competition's strak houses. My medium rare steak was more on the rare side which to me is more acceptable than less rare. Service is stellar and the food is good , with a lot of gluten free options.Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten-free menuWheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair could easily be accommodated“

“Great breakfast/lunch diner...Joe if your listening...I bet this place would be great for late night breakfast dinning on Weekends. It is understandable for restaurants were to shy away from the late night intoxicated crowds it would draw, not to mention overcoming staffing issues. It just seem like Portsmouth has no late night options other than Gilly's and the Canolli place on Congress St, and neither offer sitdown service“

Having worked in the industry for awhile, I can usually tell a good establishment when I see it. This place seems consistently decent. Worth checking out for both visitors and locals.Matt, maybe? The server with the cool and plentiful tattoos, was all around an amazing server and deserves a special shout out.“

“Nice dining experience! My cousin and his girl took David and I out to eat here while visiting us at the beach. We enjoyed the food and experience. David had a burger, my cousin had a haddock sandwich, his girlfriend had lobster Mac and cheese while I enjoyed a flatbread pizza. The food is definitely on par for a beach establishment catering to a huge crowd. I liked the rustic tavern atmosphere and the prices are what you’d expect for York. Definitely check it out when at Short Sands.“

“Our second dinner proved as lovely as our first. We shared a cheese board equal to the price, loaded with various cheeses (one hard, one very soft and a bleu), pickled veggies, sweet, cruncy nuts and plenty of crostini. I enjoyed a stuffed (spinach), baked haddock, perfectly done while my husband relished his seared scallops, rice and bok choi. Given it was Valentine's Day, we shared the special flourless choclate cake--a bit overpriced, but good. I loved that I was able to try the two wines I was debating between (a Pino Grigio and a Sauvignon Blanc) which allowed me, surprisingly, to chose the latter. The bar tender even made a perfect keoke coffee-- a recipe that seems to stump many! Bistro 1828 remains our 'go-to' for a special occasion--one of the few local seacoast restaurants whose food, service, atmosphere lives up to the its prices! (Our table was in front of a drafty door--the only reason for the 4 star--get a back or side table!)Parking: We lucked out on a cold night to sang a spot right next to the resturant, but there is also a bog lot across the street.“
