“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!“

“We arrive last night for drinks. A beautiful place. Very professional and organized. We had the meatballs as a starter. They were great. The music and atmosphere was above and beyond. Will definitely be back. Thank you.“

“The “sea-cuterie” was a great value and one of the most memorable seafood platters I've ever had - because of the unique pineapple mignonette! Erin was very attentive and walked us through menu hits. The rest of the staff was great, too. Highly recommend for a nice dinner at Hampton Beach. Our family has been coming here to the Ashworth, and the Breakers, for over 40 years and it never misses!“

“We just had a family dinner at STREETexeter and it was fantastic! The food, service, overall chill vibe was perfect especially as a family with a deployed middle son (need to keep it upbeat). We had the meal we hoped to have and we appreciate what Kevin has created. Recommendations: KAA the therapist, BIBIMBAP (both chicken and beef), Cemita, and dumplings con pow.“

“My daughter and I dined here and enjoyed it very much. The server was great, fun, polite and fast. Food was fab. We had the poutine, a unique and delicious take, and the beet salad. Drinks were strong. Very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be back and recommend.“

His food will leave you satisfied and looking to book the next reservation on your car ride home.“

“I only give five stars after the experience on Saturday. The night before I dined in, I already was having lousy service through out my stay, started with no napkin wrapped utensils (this came _after_the entree) water had to be asked explicitly after ordering a White Russian, the meal came out OK. I ordered a desert to go and walked back to my hotel to only realize i didn’t ask for them resulting me in already a difficult couple days to be worse to the point I’m breaking down in public the hysteria bounced off the buildings. By the time I turned to the alley corner by the 110, I automatically regained composure I walk back in - hostess wasn’t to be seen, but a waitress named Lydia answered me at the door remembering me from my visit almost a year ago. I explain what happened and after addressing it I told her “you made my day” she told me she’d be in all day on Saturday so I go to the bar and expierence was literally night vs day. She earned the twenty-five-pct extra on the check. Keep Lydia there at all costs she’s a special person in customer service when many places in the port city seemed to be lacking that of late.“

“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“

“Delicious breakfast! Everything cooked perfectly!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Friendly staff, great desserts, awesome location.“

“Good service good food and good drinks❗️“

“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.“

“Delish !! From start to finish everything was fabulous! From the amazing door that you walked through to the woodwork and the brick and the old Portsmouth feel The food was fabulous. It actually made my taste buds dance! If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Staff is top-notch.“

“This was our first time here. We loved it!!! The cowboy fried chicken sandwich was awesome! I unfortunately have a dairy allergy and my Texas Loan star burger came out with cheese. They comped my burger and the replacement came out so fast!!! We were so pleased with the service and the food we plan to visit the next time we are in Exeter!“

“So good! You can tell they put love into everything the make ❤️“

“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!“

“Great place. Holy taps! Food & service was top notch. Family friendly- our kids loved it too 🙂“

“great food and service, plenty of packing“

“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!“

“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.“

“Always love the pulled pork sliders and amazing seasoned house fries…always fast great service with a smile!“

“Made our way to Portsmouth NH last night, decided to Google restaurants near my current location- to find a spot to eat and ended up at Mojo's West End Tavern. Our experience was a 10/10. Every item we ordered was perfect, waiter was wonderful, atmosphere and music were inviting and they have a great menu! Do yourself a favor and just go and make sure you order some wings! You will not regret it!“

“I was just there tonight which is Boxing Day 2022. I am giving black cow a a 3 because I was shocked at the prices. We had 1 sushi roll,1 shrimp app and 3 drinks ..90 bucks. (Don’t forget a Jim bean rocks with 1 good cherry 14 dollars) and about 1 1/2 fingers of amaretto straight)for 11 dollars) You’re better off spending your money somewhere else.. honestly. I’m a chef and understand rising costs however this is crazy however the service was pretty solid.“

“Extraordinary! Restaurant Week menu in Nport is superior to any other places. My first time and I will be back for sure.“

“like a pub atmosphere good service and good drinks. Then you have to go . you won't be disappointed.“

“A friend and I enjoyed a wonderful brunch there today. Linda, our server, was personable, friendly, helpful, and fabulous. Not only did she do a wonderful job, but she promotes the restaurant in such a way that makes us want to come back. The food was great and the atmosphere is, too.“
