Went out with some friends for the first time to the Loft and we were all impressed with what we were walking in to. Great atmosphere and waitress was very pleasant. However, we all ordered meals and only two of us Got the correct meal, they took the incorrect meal back and by the time they delivered the right meal the rest of us were done eating and the scallops were not cooked all the way had to send them back to recook. We reached out to the waitress to check if they would comp in anyway for this inconvenience, she had to check with the manager, and to find out that all he offered us was a free small ice cream. After that, we asked to talk to the manager, explained to him our inconvenience we went through and he was very unprofessional and said accidents happened, after going round and around on this, he offered to remove a beverage from our bill. That's all we got. I am very disappointed with this. I have worked in this industry before and would never treat a customer that way. I would have offered to comp that meal for their inconvenience even if it came out of my own pocket. Not to mention because it was so late , we had to take the scallops to go to go, tried them when got home, and they were horrible. Very disappointed. And FYI this is my first Yelp.

It's been 5 years since we've been to The Loft. Friends and I always loved their pizza, rather pleased it was still as we remember, very good! Could've come out a bit sooner as it could've been hotter but still good. And not skimpy on the feta! Server was new, but did a good job especially as they got busy

Fantasic food, service, and spirits. The biscuits and gravy were sweet, which threw off the southerners we were hosting. However, they said it was really good, just different! The French toast was AMAZING, and their house maide lemonaid was delicious!

There didn’t appear to be much in the way of food options within walking distance from our hotel, so a couple of friends and I came here. The menu was extensive, but it took a little while for us to be served. Staff were nice enough, if not overly keen nor enthusiastic, and I don’t recall them smiling once. Our food was finally served — the veggie stir-fry looked and smelt good (but my friend said it was more like soup and she only ate half of it) and the other meal that was ordered — a fish sandwich — came with bread, though my friend had specifically asked for no bread. Worst part was that the floor under our table was suuuuuuper sticky — my shoes were sticky for days afterward. Gross.

New to the area so we actually thought that we were at the Stratford Family Farm restaurant. We ended up at the Back 40 Grille. The clam and scallop plates were mediocre and overpriced; $34.00 for each. The seafood chowder was milky with very little flavor to the chowder broth. We won’t be back.

Food is very good here. I ordered a sausage pizza for the first time. Pizza was full of sausage. Heather my waitress was quick, polite and funny. Chicken Fingers is a must to order. Homemade ice cream is very good. The dining room is updated in relaxing colors and red booths. Dianne and Toni are great for breakfast and lunch. All three are awesome and make sure to ask for them. Very clean and relaxing. Kim and Peter the owners are very friendly. Never had any problems.Ashley the manager helps out everyone and stop by every table. There is a function room that seats up to 40 people. A bar called the Loft upstairs. The Back 40 out back services home made ice cream and food. Great stop if you heading north to the mountains or south to Portsmouth.

Great bar tender. Very friendly and attentive. Good beer selection! And good food! Everyone that goes there is friendly. Great place for bar food and beer, meet up with friends after work. I'd definitely check it out if you are looking for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with good food and a pretty good beer selection. With a few local beers on draft.

HORRIBLE! This is my 1st ever review so that’s how you know I do t complain but I just got a dry double cheeseburger to share with my 2YO son & only a handful of dry fries for $12 then his father got baked haddock that was not even cooked & was only a few bites with 1 tiny scoop of watery potatoes for $18! I’ll NEVER be going back! WASTE OF MONEY!

This is my first time reviewing a restaurant simply to warn others not to spend their money here. My fiancé and I went for an early dinner. We ordered their bacon wrapped jalapeños for an app. We were informed that they might be out of stock, but when they were brought out they were very clearly not made the same day and seemed a day or two old. No big deal, let it slide, but I ordered a salad and all of the ingredients were not fresh. The dressing that was brought out was dusty and old and had a terrible smell. The waitress acknowledged these things and simply shrugged. They could care less about the garbage food and poor quality ingredients they sell to people. Terrible customer service, waste of a $60 dinner just to waste food.

Have been coming here since 1986. Warm, friendly atmosphere. "Where everybody knows your name" kind of place.Meal quality is erratic, often falling far short of the mark. Appetizers generally 3/5 stars.
