“A+ experience! First time coming here and was completely blown away by the atmosphere, staff, and delicious food (especially the bruschetta bites). Sea Dog Brewing had it all - including a comedy night and seats overlooking the river. Will come again.“

“thanks for being so helpful and friendly“

“Always excellent! Have been coming for 10+ years !“

“Autumn Chicken is amazing and the staff was great!“

“Easily some of the best food north of Boston! The best way to describe it is as elevated Latin-inspired comfort food. The head chef and owner, Elvis, is amazing! He always makes a point of spending time with all of his customers, sharing stories about his incredible food and making sure everyone feels welcome. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for good food, good vibes, and good company!“

“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!“

“I love the Wild Garlic. The food is fantastic. Fast and great service along with a wonderful atmosphere. I can’t wait to see what is on the menu day to day. The owner and staff are the best. This is Amesbury must try and see for yourself. Highly recommend.“

“The best breakfast I’ve had in a long time hands down. highly recommended. Waitress was awesome prices well affordable. a nice diner. One of the last ones left around. will definitely be going back. Lunch is next.“

“I moved here 11 years ago and my first of many wonderful meals at the Riverworks. I especially liked the beer battered chicken fingers. But something has changed in the batter and I had them last night, 3/17/25 and they're not as good. Please return to the other recipe. But you are a favorite restaurant. Suellen Leugers“

“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!“

“great food and service, plenty of packing“

“The location in Stratham, NH, has been my “go to” several times a week since their opening. I live nearby, and can’t help but indulge in the convenience of the location, not only for the great food (top-notch menu and preparation), friendly atmosphere (regular patrons who easily come to feel like family), and a staff that has made me feel like this is my “home away from home”. Special shout out to John, the best, most efficient and attentive bartender that I’ve known in all my years of dining out. And, without a doubt, I must add that Jess is also most delightful in every way. The management, host staff, and endearing wait staff (you know who you are) have made every moment I’ve enjoyed at the 110 Grill in Stratham the best of times. What more can I say? Drop in, often! I recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Awesome experience tonight! Patio was packed and still the service was fantastic! Even better food!! They changed the menu to include Sheppards pie and meatloaf. Absolutely incredible! Can’t say enough about the service and new quality of the food!!! Please don’t go back to the old food!!! This is amazing! Will be back with friends . Beer was also incredible and server was so knowledgeable in the beer selection … made it so easy for me to find my favorite! Love this place!!!!“

“Stopped here on a recent Sunday afternoon for lunch. I was expecting average quality, but I was so wrong! The food was far better than my expectations. The French onion soup was outstanding. Everything we ordered - buffalo chicken wrap, burger, and Mac n cheese were so good! We will definitely be back!“

“Crispy tomato appetizer has to be my favorite dish by far. Servers are awesome and drinks are great!“

“Awesome dinners and cocktails for Pink Day!“

“Wonderful Easter celebration dinner. I've been to CR's before but this was my best meal there ever. I started with Green Goddess salad - all ingredients were treated so perfectly; peas, asparagus, greens. My entree was the he Scottish salmon — just great! Served with a sweet base of squash and corn. Finished with chocolate lava cake and a lovely port wine. Lava cake was light yet very chocolatey. Exceeded expectations!“
