“The Puddle Dock was pretty much exactly as I expected, considering how much I had looked into it ahead of time. The entire reason for going was for the rarebit my boss had informed me of during a discussion about foods I had grown up with.The food was all incredible and was interesting to see the inside of the building since I had grown up going to Strawberry Bank as a child and getting pickles from a pickle barrel when it was a store. The post and beam structure still looks incredible and the layout of the bar is extremely well done. The atmosphere that is given was extremely laid back. The one thing that took away, for me, was a few of the wait staff that had come by have an arrogance when speaking to you that is a bit off putting. It is clear that it is not all of them but enough to discourage.I had an old fashioned, the rarebit which came with bits of duck, brussel sprouts and a fried egg on top as an appetizer and the Shepard's pie as a meal. The Shepard's pie came out with a crust making it look more like pot pie but added a wonderful texture to it. The flavor was incredible though be warned of how hot that dish is and how long it will need to cool. Definitely worth the visit and experience.“
“Not terrible. I had the surf and turf with filet and lobster tail. It was not terrible lobster, but it was a little tough which was surprising given the location and the about $80 that the plate costed. The steak was a little better but could have used more flavor. Over-all not bad, but the plate should have been more at a $45 price point relative to its quality. I would say keep the higher price and improve the plate.“
“Ate lunch with friends on drive home from Logan on our way back home from London. Our first meal back from London is a tough one. The food was fantastic. Had a nice window table with a view of the sparkly water. There was a vent blowing cold air underneath our table, but fortunately the server provided a small mat to cover it up. The cocktails were en pointe and well balanced - not too sweet which we appreciated. Even though we are all seafood lovers, two of the stars of the meal were the buffalo cauliflower ( great sauces and nicely fried- not greasy or soggy) and believe it or not, my daughter’s grilled chicken caesar was also really nicely done on all fronts. We all loved the haddock reuben ( again many nice touches- great cook on the fish, delicious sauces). I already mentioned the drinks. Cocktails were awesome ( we tried 3 different ones from the menu). My chief and probably only complaint would have to be the wine pours. I am spending top dollar on quality food at a respected restaurant- please give me a glass of wine. We spent over 300$ at your establishment, don’t serve me a splash of wine. Rather insulting. Everything else was wonderful. Kitchen staff are doing it right and our server Sierra was great. Bar program - don’t serve skimpy wine pours.“
“From the minute you walk into The Franklin you feel the warmth of the space. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. We ate everything and it was flippin amazing - I took my sister and her husband here and his eyes lit up when he caught site of the selection of oysters! He still talks about The Franklin and makes me take him there every time they are in town.“
“My husband and I sat at the bar- enjoyed impeccable service as we watched oysters being shucked in front of us. I had Welfleet oysters fresh and delish, and we both enjoyed bowls of perfect NE clam chowder! All of this paired with a Maine Lunch it was the perfect supper in a fun and chic atmosphere!“
“Came here for the first time for an early dinner this Sunday with my family. I wish I had found this place sooner, I will absolutely be back! Sarah, our server, is a pro. Food and drinks were amazing and everything came out promptly. If I could give more stars I would!“
“Great restaurant! First thing I noticed is the happiness of the employees o thing but smiles. Everyone working helped each other and they seemed to be a team who enjoys working with each other because of that our service was impeccable. From drinks to the food everything was delicious. We started with fried calamari cooked perfectly, we had warm rolls served with soft butter ,roasted garlic and olives. We ordered the salmon and monk fish both cooked with so much flavor and the presentation was beautiful. Then for dessert we ordered the banana cake new on the menu I’m not a sweet eater but this was perfect not too sweet…..definitely everyone should visit this restaurant.“
“We eat here frequently because of the team, food quality and price. Besides the amazing roast beef you must try: crab salad wrap or get the crab salad roll that comes with fries - the crab salad is great, BLT wrap, coleslaw, any of the seafood but the plate portions are huge and feeds 2, chicken wings, salad, onion rings!You can't go wrong here, we have never had a meal that wasn't great.“
“I enjoy this place a lot. Old school. Wish they would open the dining soon. They had a hard winter with the flooding this January. This venue is right on the water. Real cool watching the boats come by. Best salad bar in the area. Pumpkin bread rocks!“
“The food was solidly good, however nothing compelling enough to crave. The staff was very attentive and nice. Unfortunately, it was really loud. I would not go if you want a romantic or high-end feel. There are many better restaurants around the seacoast, but it wasn't bad by any stretch.“
“It is truly some of the best seafood in the area. Consistent quality, fair pricing, & always prepared great. Staff has always been great. My wife and I enjoy the atmosphere.Parking: Parking can be a little tight at peak times, but when it's really busy, there is usually someone to help direct and keep things moving. Off peak parking is no problem, plenty of room.“
“We went to Bob's the other day for lunch and was surprised when we went to pay for the our clams and scallops basket 69.75. It was good but it's not worth going for lunch at that price. Last year for the same basket we paid 50.00. a lot of French fries in both baskets and scallops and calms scattered on top. For some reason I cannot add photos.“
“What a great find! Wonderful selection of classic breakfast choices and darn tasty to boot. Homemade biscuits covered in cream beef, homemade corn beef hash and the waffles! Oh my. I wish the place was closer to my house.I strongly recommend Hebert'“
“We are locals and look forward to Rays opening up in the spring. We went for a late lunch a week after their seasonal opening on an unexpectedly nice day. We were fortunate to not have to deal with a busy place at the time that we went and we got a booth overlooking the ocean. It's a gorgeous view where we watched early spring surfers and the waves roll in. Rays is very clean and has a pretty extensive menu with both delicious fried seafood and yummy baked dishes. We split an order of steamers which were some of the better ones we've had in the area. My husband had a medium order of haddock bites and he really enjoyed them while I had one of my favs, a tuna melt which was not greasy and was very tasty, with fries that were cooked just right. Our waitperson was friendly and appropriately attentive. Rays is not fancy, with paper plates and menus for placemats but if you're hankering for fresh seafood (they catch their own) you should definitely try Rays.“
“Had an awesome experience at the oar house this weekend. Got to sit at the bar and taste some new creations from the bartender. Was really cool watching the experimentation and getting a first glance at the upcoming drinks. Snagged a couple of photos ??“
“Went here for the first time last weekend. Was very busy but, we showed up right in time and sat right down. Really good food. We had the Big Mac quesadilla, awesome! Mac and cheese with shaved steak. And my wife had a Caesar salad with steak tips. We loved everything. We'll go back. Looks like a great place to watch a game too.“
“We moved to NC several years ago and have never found pizza to compare with the Bratskellar. Perfect crust, high grade cheeses, many optional toppings including Greek sausage. Very active pizza kitchen and ovens surrounded by the bar. Many other items on the menu as well and they are all well prepared and portioned. We've bee customers for 25 years.“
“Family Owned East Java eatery. Authentic Indonesian spiced menu and service with a smile. If you’re missing Java or Bali cooking this is what you have been looking for. Also small grocery off to side so you can pick up some local flavors to cook with at home.“
“This is the first restaurant I've visited while being back in the US, and I wasn't disappointed.The fish in the sandwich was twice as big as the bun!Great people, great location, and great food.I think the only thing I would change would be to add some made in hause sauces for the food.Overall great experience.Parking: There is plenty of parking on site.“
“The waitress flips with cotscoVegetarian options: They have a symbol with vegetarian symbolDietary restrictions: Just have everythingParking: Just good parkingKid-friendliness: Were kids we are allowed to eat here with no adultsWheelchair accessibility: They allow handicap parking“
“Went for my birthday with my husband, and it did not disappoint. Everything about this place is top notch, from the service to the atmosphere to the food. Cocktails are incredible. There is nothing that we ordered that we wouldn't highly recommend, abd this is the sort if place where I'd order something different even if I'm not sure about it because I know it would still probably be good. The scallops and my husband's steak were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were on point.“
“Very cozy feel inside! Food was delicious! We were there for lunch. I had the seafood chowder, it was excellent & very filling. My friends had salads & said they were delicious! They looked great!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.Parking: There’s metored street parkin across from The restaurant & a parking garage close by“
““Wow! My recent dining experience was absolutely fantastic! Despite there being an event happening, I was pleasantly surprised that the noise level decreased significantly as we passed by the bar. The food quality was top-notch. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing and enjoyable meal. Highly recommend this place!“
“I dont live in the area and it sucks i wont be coming back anytime soon. The food here was amazing. I found this place after searching a bunch of different restaurants in the area. What a find. Highly recommend. Seemed like a local favorite with the crowd and i can see why.“
“I rarely write a review about hotdogs. This dog is exceptional. I don't know how they figured how to encapsulate summer in a glinted dog on a random February evening but they did. The crunch, the snap, the delivery of toothsome bun with ever buttered bite. Yeah. hot dog. here in NH. at an unsurprising place. I have been told to eat hot dogs elsewhere and I am fiercely protective over red snappies in Maine. This is the dog that might make you wonder.It's fantastic. thank you jittos and all of your staff. I appreciate it.Parking: Parking is always fine!“
“Was late night Friday and not many places were open but we knew they were till 12 midnight so we stopped in and got dinner. If remember correctly they had about 10 beers on tap including local brewers beers which was nice they also had speciality drinks as well after ordering drinks we ordered a Bacon burger,Buffalo fingers and mozzarella sticks. The burger was great and the appetizers came out in minutes and were awesome! The menu didn't have any desert listed but we asked and they said they had a strawberry shortcake desert with ice cream and a brownie desert as well so we happily ordered both and they came out looking delicious and were not small in size. Both were great! It was a cold late night so it was quite in there but it looks as if there's normally a band and there's a bar and tables out on the back deck which is directly on the river and there's boats docked all along the back of restaurants. Definitely a cool place to eat on a summer night. I've heard it's really busy in summer time and on weekends and I could see why. There's tons of tvs, and lottery to play while you wait!“
“I would like to rate the Rollinsford business. They are amazing they have catered to us for the last 14ish Sundays at 8 pm ish. Bringing 8 to 12 people give or take every week they handled us amazingly. Corbin was our last waiter and crushed it. The crew from NEPFL will be back soon. Thank you you all crushed our Sunday “
“The food is fantastic here! It's a nice vibe and location. I'm always greeted with kind and wonderful customer service. The Super Beef on the onion roll is my go to, but I'm a big sucker for the fried oreos too. The owner has done an incredible job transforming this place since they took over!“
“Dover IKKO Sushi & Japanese Steak House is a great and fun place for everyone, including the kids. The chef will put on a show sure to entertain all. The sake flows freely and good times are had. Sticking to the hibachi menu I went with the filet mignon and scallops. The chef will even throw in a few shrimp as well. Rice (with egg, etc.) and vegetables are cooked to perfection. More sake. Enjoy the onion volcano. Great for large parties. Very much recommended.“
“We drove a very long way to have Maine lobster for my son’s birthday and we’re NOT disappointed. The portions were not huge and it was quite pricey however, our waitress (I think her name was Lacy??) was so sweet! She made sure to make my son’s evening special.She was knowledgeable, diligent and kind. The food was delicious ESPECIALLY the desserts (in my opinion).My son INHALED the lobster and said this has been his favorite birthday so far!Kid-friendliness: Yummy sundae for the birthday boy!!“
“Founded in 1948 by a lobster fisherman, it has survived a major fire and been rebuilt into a large restaurant and bar. We started going to Newicks in 1967, and while the surroundings have changed, the quality of its food has not. This is a classic New England seafood restaurant, with a large selection from oysters to lobsters to ‘steamers’ (soft shell clams). The menu has been recently updated, but hasn’t changed that much. We started with oysters on the half shell, fresh and delicious; Newick’s traditional thick clam chowder, always good; and anew item, puffed crab Rangoon, as good as it gets according to my son. For mains, my wife had coconut shrimp, excellent. My son had Fish & Chips with a side of Calamari, done to perfection. I had the Fish & Chips as well, but with a side of clam strips. Again, excellent and the clam strips surprised me with tenderness. More than enough to take home what we didn’t eat. Good drink menu, good selection of draft beers. Excellent service. Always a great place to eat. We haven’t been disappointed in 57 years!“
“Loved this experience! The ambiance upstairs was perfect and the cocktails were unique and delicious. The food was fantastic and I highly recommend the scallops. A dessert drink finished my night and I would highly recommend this for a date night dinner!“
