37 Best Seafood Restaurants near Merrimack

“Absolutely AMAZING. We were a party of 8 for dinner. The next day went back for 15 TO GO cooked lobsters to bring back to VA. The staff and service..... GREAT!“

“Los Primos is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant. The best atmosphere and hospitality around!“

“I’ve been going to Axel’s for several years now, always happy with their ice cream selections.

Once I saw they were selling shaved ice, I had to try it out. It is FANTASTIC! We tried Tiger’s Blood and Watermelon. Both were great. The consistency was great, and the flavor was throughout the entire dish. Some places have their ice melt due to the flavorings. That’s not the case here. Definitely try it out!“

“I finally made my way down to Surf after years of hearing amazing things about this place and being a frequent regular to all of the other Michael Timothy Group’s establishments. Exceeded my expectations. I usually only eat seafood at the seacoast (New England snob) but that is forever changed. Their clam chowder is top notch!🙌🏻 Buckleys cafe for my espresso, Buckleys Steakhouse for my steak, Lost Cowboy for my BBQ, Mike’s Italian Kitchen for my Italian, and Surf for my seafood. No need to eat elsewhere!🤭“

“best seafood ever top notch better than Chicago“

“some of the best seafood we've had in New England. deliciously fresh flavors in the ceviche, the octopus in particular was amazing and practically melted in your mouth. molcajete mariscos was amazing! seasoned well and everything in it was cooked perfectly. staff was very friendly and attentive.“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“Food is great. But, I had another experience, that I want talk about - I was there recently and apparently dropped some money on the floor as I was leaving. To me - it was a substantial amount. Another customer found it and turned the whole amount in to staff. We called the next day and told the staff what happened and the exact amount. They had been holding it for us. Staff was kind and great when we went back. So - not only do they have great food - but their customers and staff rae top-notch - kind, fair and charitable.“

“First time there for my daughters birthday they staff where all very friendly and food was amazing. I would highly recommend going there for any occasion,Or just want good food.“

“Cannot Thank the amazing staff Nikia, Matthew, Chef Ben enough for such an incredible dinner. We were celebrating our son leaving for boot camp and your staff were just amazing. The made our dining experience a night we will cherish. Oh yeah the food chef’s kiss. We will be customers for life!“

“Better than Vintage and Nadeaus! Tried a few subs now, the steak and cheese, chicken and cheese, and Meatball sub, and I can say they are a tad bit better for sure than anyone around the city. Only downside is they charge fees for online orders and Vintage/others don't. Get that for free option and I'll bump you up to 5 stars. Why charge a fee? Makes no sense. Fees turn me off and I look elsewhere.“

“Great food and great atmosphere“

The staff was top-notch too—super friendly, attentive, and clearly took pride in making sure everyone had a great time. The atmosphere was lively without being loud, and the whole evening just felt easy and fun. Highly recommend Evolution for group events or just a great night out in downtown Manchester!“

“My Husband and I have been wanting to try this resturaunt since they opened. We Yesterday about 1.5 hr after they opened. It was not busy but the waiter and waitress was great and the service was timely.

Our food was wonderful! It came out fresh and hot. We ordered a margarita flight, peach, mango, strawberry, and tamarind which all were delicious and the flight is certainly affordable!

We will be visiting again. ❤️🥰“

“My husband and I stopped in for a light meal on Sunday 7/6/25 and enjoyed our lunch and when we were ready to pay, our server told us that our bill was already paid. It was so very nice and unexpected. Maybe they saw my husbands navy hat. We wish we were able to thank them in person so I hope that maybe they will see this comment and know how pleased we were.“

“We went for dinner last night and had a great meal. Our server Edgar was fantastic as was the food and the prices.. I will definitely be back and will recommend it.“

“Great good, great value & great staff.“

“I really love this place. They still do dinner meals which is great when I'm just looking to get something for myself. Food tastes fantastic and the ladies at the front are always friendly. Definitely a take out plane, wouldn't recommend as a family sit down.“

“Beautiful ambiance. Great customer service and attention to sensitivities. Thank you for your table side recommendations.“

“On a trip to Venice, I ate the best pizza I’ve ever had. Gianni’s family pizza tasted just like it!!!! Strikes the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and bread, with strengths that outshine even my dream pizza. This one is very filling, thanks to the generous amount of cheese. Quality ingredients seem to be the shared secret.

I also tried a few other things:

- Chicken fingers: Leagues ahead of any other pizza place. Beautifully seasoned and juicy. Better than it has any right to be. This is a pizza place right? Highly suggest. Must order.

-Subs: Good. The bread was fluffy with a great crisp to it. A slight increase of meat would push it up a tier. But fresh vegetables fill and overflow.

Clean sitting areas, lots of space, and friendly staff. The owner even greeted us on our way out. This place is heavenly and the pizza is next level. My brother has placed Gianni’s in his top 5 pizza places after one visit. When you know, you know.“

“We just ordered two of the fish dinner specials and very impressed, Loved the fish and french fries & onion rings all cooked very well. Didn't care for coleslaw as it was red cabbage and more vinegry then we are used to, but overall I would gladly recommend and YES we will be coming back again! 10/10“

“The pizza is the best! Great salads and pasta…really every thing we had has been solid. Service at the bar for takeout was really good too!“

“The food is great mai tais delicious. Great service“

“I have lived around the area for a long time. I am always looking for the Seafood that I desire just like the Bostonians. Well I just found my Jewel. This family lives in this local comumity and is hard at work for you all.
Their Seafood is brought in from Boston every other day and OMG.. So Fresh.... The baked seafood haddock and scallops and Fried Shrimp was beyond the BEST I have tasted. Not even the seacoast or Boston can match what they have done with there lightly butter bread crumb mixture. It has an herb I can't put my taste bud on but it is bye far something that should be hosted on TV.
My grandkids loved the New Style thin crust cheese pizza that was amazingly different than other thick chewy stuff around here. Again the freshest ingredients!!
And to think you don't even have to travel and pay the ourtragous fees for parking, surcharges and all that jaz.
The owners will go out their way to make you feel part of the family!! Enjoy!!!
P.S. Dont forget to ask about the pistachio layered ricotta pie...“

“Love it super friendly environment. Fast food restaurant is never been better than USA chicken and biscuits“

“I went in for a slice of pizza a few minutes before they closed. They had some pepperoni left. Man was that a good slice of pizza, even for a piece that was not as fresh as a whole pie. I am excited to try a whole pizza, nice and fresh. Secondly they make cookie oreo brownies, inhouse from scratch. I had to grab one and let me tell you just how worth it it was. Chocolatey and thick and delicious. The staff is very sweet and the owner is an incredible lady.“

“Great Bartender and Good Chow!“
