This place used to be such a gem in Hampton. They had the best chicken tenders and dipping sauces I’d ever had. Amazingly friendly staff, great beer, super happening events. Ever since this place sold it’s gone downhill in every way. Flat beers, dry food, disinterested staff.
And now I hear that the Hot Sauce Festival is moving from smuttynose to Strawberry Banke (not dog friendly)? This is the kind of stuff that gives PE firms such a bad wrap, especially in the food and beverage industry. They come in to “create value” and within a year the result is the same: higher prices, gutted product mix, and destruction of any sense of community. Sad story.

I had the Braised Short Rib, and it was excellent. A couple of weeks ago I ordered it and it was also excellent, so we went back so I could have it again. Both times it was very tasty, moist and quite tender. The whipped potato was also really good. The place is very relaxed and the service was very good with a smile. I plan to go back again soon so I can enjoy the Braised Short Rib, the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service again.

So sad what the management has done to this place. What was once a gem of a restaurant (HOW could you discontinue the best chicken tenders in the region and the Finest Kind dipping sauce) and beer destination on the Seacoast is a now another no-identity menu with tasteless food and flat forgetful beer. Drink: Our beer and seltzer flight tasted like every tap had gone off and syrups had expired. No carbonation and disgusting frat beer in a cup. I remember old Smuttynose as fun sours and flavorful IPAs :-( Food: can’t recommend anything. Cuban sandwich was the worst we’ve ever had. Short rib bolognese tasted like nursing home slop in desperate need of salt and seasoning. Brussel sprouts were tossed in watered down syrup. Kids mac and cheese “meal” came with nothing else despite the menu saying it came with side, drink, and ice cream. Despite the place being dead on a Saturday night, the service was terrible. Really hope more investment goes into better ingredients, flavor profiles and culinary staff. I miss the old Smuttynose!

We love Smuttynose. Every time we visit the Hampton area we make sure to stop by for delicious wings, burgers, and cold beer. Today we were served by Monique, she was so friendly and helpful. Awesome service! They have a great beer selection from the brewery. I love all the IPA options.

Food was delicious! Staff was so kind, it’s so refreshing to go somewhere that has great customer service. Especially being in a family with a little one. Monique served us and was so compassionate and genuinely was invested in our experience. Normally don’t write reviews but this was a must. Please check it out!!

2 of us went Saturday at around 7:30. Brussels app was mediocre. Risotto was terrible and the grilled chicken I asked to be added was under cooked. Server cleared the plate without ever asking how it was or why I had eaten none. Asked for desert at around 8:15 and was told the kitchen had closed and they could no longer do dessert. Google says they’re open until 9. Had a lovely view of actual outhouses from the patio. Would not recommend.

We were told at the beginning of our visit that the servers were very understaffed, but our server, Sidney, did a fantastic job! She brought our food and drinks in a timely manner, and advocated for us when there was a kitchen mix-up. They have wonderful and caring staff there, even on the tough days!
Fantastic experience at Smuttynose Brewery in Hampton, NH! The food and beer were both excellent, and Monique behind the bar made the visit even better with her friendly and attentive service. Can’t wait to come back!

Good venue and music, and food decent. Passing off 20 oz beers in 16 oz cups? Maybe wait staff error. I took one home and filled from measuring cup.

Saturday October 4, 2025 I had the pleasure of having Lucy as our waitress. We were a party of 6, ordered dinner and drinks. I am not a beer drinker(sorry) so Lucy took the time to explain your Island District drinks to me. I left with a four pack after an amazing night of music, family, and good friends. Lucy and the team that were short staffed and super busy. She didn’t miss a beat. Amazing testament to your establishment . Looking for to our next visit!
