“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!“

“My husband and I had the best experience tonight! The food was amazing. We started with the tuna appetizer and the cure wedge salad - so good! He had the filet and I had the short ribs - both were so tasty and cooked to perfection. Our server was super attentive and so personable! We’ll definitely be returning when we’re back in the area!“

“I work at the Moffatt-Ladd House across the street and have been meaning to come over and experience their menu, as we often have overlapping customers. Our host sat us right away, drinks were fabulous, and all the meals were absolutely amazing! (I had the caribbean grilled swordfish.) My mom had been here with her parents in college in the early 80s and clearly Casey is carrying the mantle well. Thank you especially to our server, Rachel!“

“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!“

“Imagine walking into a gas station to pick up a drink, opening the door and smelling your grandmother's kitchen? I just had to try the hand battered tenders and bone in fried chicken and potato wedges! While waiting for my lunch regulars came in for sandwiches, roll-ups and cheesesteaks, the special for the day. There were some picnic tables outside but we grabbed our bucket of chicken and took it to go! The chicken was crunchy and crisp while remaining moist on the inside. Such a treat! While the atmosphere is not fancy it's friendly!“

From Kevin to Carlos to Dylan and all the beautiful staff here, it’s an experience to remember. We think they put crack cocaine in the chicken fingers they are so good! I am craving the clam chowda as I write this. Oh, and did I mention my favorite singer of all time? @lewisgoodwinmusic plays here night and day?The ocean view and breeze are not to shabby either. Please don’t take my word for it, come check it out!“

“Gas Light in Portsmouth, NH, offers a lively and inviting atmosphere perfect for enjoying a casual meal or drinks with friends. The exposed brick and wood-fired stone oven create a cozy yet energetic vibe that captures the essence of downtown Portsmouth. I was impressed by the attentive and friendly service, with bartenders who were attentive without being intrusive. The menu features crowd-pleasers like wood-fired pizzas, including their specialty Gaslight pizza, which had a pleasantly crispy crust and flavorful toppings. The chicken wings were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned, making them an excellent starter. I enjoyed the warmth and vibrant feel of the pub setting, which also offers live entertainment and a dog-friendly patio—a great spot if you're visiting with pets. Prices felt fair given the generous portions and quality. While some reviews mention occasional kitchen delays or food inconsistencies, my experience was smooth and satisfying. It’s a nice spot to unwind after a day exploring Portsmouth, with good drink options and a welcoming ambiance. I would recommend Gas Light if you’re looking for a lively, local dining experience with solid pub fare and good company. The one downside might be the busier times when service can slow, but overall it’s a dependable choice for casual dining in the neighborhood.“

“all I can say you out did yourselves today!! what a great lunch,amazing service and the coldest beer!! the wings,wow just wow they were hotter then I remember but I couldn't stop eating them!! BRAVO to an amazing staff!“

“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!“

“great food and friendly owner and bartender's a fun place!“

“We just discovered this spot! Former big lots haha way better then that by far! We didn’t know what to expect for some reason Verizon phone service didn’t work for us so while in the truck couldn’t see the menu etc. so we just went in on a Tuesday around 4pm got menus and then was handed happy hour menus my 9 year old got the taco salad, was missing the taco bowl but made it up with fried tortillas. My son got kids Mac he was disappointed it was Kraft and dry as a box Mac would be! Still he smashed it out. We got 4 happy hour apps and some drinks then we did the all in passes needless to say $200 later with tip our short trip turned into like 5 hours of memories and we have to come back! Worth it and the bartender she was great and on point. We will go back with the kids and without we’ll worth our 45 minute drive and the money!! So much to do for kids and adults being kids again! Thanks“
