The location can't be beat. Seating ourselves, there were plenty of open tables. We grabbed one right on the water and had a great view of the tugs and the birds dive-bombing their dinner (bait fish).
The booths, while colorful and festive, were wobbly and evidently not fastened too securely to the floor. And, the table tops were very sticky. Not sure that they were wiped down prior to our seating.
Service was ok. While we only ordered one round of drinks, at no point were we offered water.
The drinks were so so, a bit on the weaker side.

Waterfront bar/restaurant. Relaxed vibe. Went on a Friday, early dinner time. Seated quickly. Lots of menu choices. Food is delicious! Had a fried clam appetizer. Was a little expensive, but totally understandable since the restaurant is on the water. Nice views. Our waitress, Ellie, was very nice! We even got a free show for a drunken young fellow who had reached his limit of the punch buckets. He was being a little silly, but not causing too much trouble. Him and his friends left happily and peacefully, which doesn’t always happen with too much alcohol! :) I would definitely recommend this location and return in the future!

Managed to snag a table on the water during a scorching August day. The atmosphere at Lazy Jacks is bar none in Portsmouth. It is directly on the water, and perfect for bird-watching. The service is good, and we were able to be seated immediately. I recommend coming earlier in the day to get prime seating on the water.
The menus are a decent size and have a variety of options for any taste buds. We shared a couple of appetizers and some SunCruisers during this trip. Between the Bang Bang Shrimp and Lobster Quesadilla, we both preferred the quesadilla. While they were both good, the Bang Bang Shrimp needed a sauce to accompany the flavors. Overall, Lazy Jack's is a good option if you don't want to spend a fortune in downtown Portsmouth.

So disappointed. In the midst of potty training my 3 year old and they would not let her use the bathroom there. I've been going to LJ for years. Shame on you guys - always been a fan and I get no public bathrooms but for a three year old!?!?!?!??!?!
Get a grip.

This was such a wonderful experience. Georgina is the hostess with the most kind and gentle smile and sweet personality When you go in, ask Georgina to see you and Stephanie‘s section. Stephanie was an exceptional waitress, prompt on time ask great questions and interacted. Well, very professional upbeat personality and such an engaging person!!!!

Ryan, our server, was excellent! Very attentive and graciously helpful with anything that came up. Pretty standard bar menu as far as food options go, but it was just what we were looking for that evening. Casual atmosphere sitting right on the water. Would recommend for a quick bite and/or some drinks!
Always good! People always find something to be upset about in these previous reviews

I had the pizza tonight... I was horrible. The restaurant needs to take a class in how to make a good pizza. The service was good.

There is a sign which says seat yourselves which was not a problem. The problem was we had to find a server to bring us menus because all the servers were sitting on their phones in the corner talking. We got our menus and ordered. My mom had ordered a drink and had asked for Tito’s instead of well. We had saw them making the drink and she had used well. We thought no big deal we can just remind them that she had wanted Tito’s. The server had sworn it was Tito’s (once again, we saw the pour). We got our food, which was amazing. But then we had finished eating and our server was no where to be found. All of the servers were in the corner room on their phones and talking. We had to ask another server for our check which was not too big of a deal but frustrating. We then got the check and we were charged for the premium drink since my mom had wanted Tito’s but didn’t receive it. Once again we had been promised it was Tito’s. This typically wouldn’t have been too frustrating if it wasn’t for the fact that we watched it all happen. As you see on my review the food and the location was amazing but the service truly could use some work.
Stopped in on a Monday early evening for a drink.
