“Food was pretty good... always is. Service not so great. I don't need a mom telling me when I need a water. Honestly it was rude. Didn't offer me a drink but water after 2 beers. Then left us alone for an hour... Will I return? Yes probably. Because it's local and has great food. Will that waitress be there? 9/10 says no. The service switches over every 3-4 months you never get the same people and that's weird to me... but the food is solid.“
“State Street Saloon is one of those places that make you feel welcomed. Good food at reasonable prices. Going strong forever in good times and hard times . It defines the true Portsmouth, old school, hard working town that has seen a lot of changes since my parents moved here in 1979.“
“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 “
“Had the prime rib special, it was a great price and a great cut cooked just right. The asparagus was grilled with a nice slight char. The staff was great. My side salad was chilled perfectly with a good portion of dressing. My only "little" complaint, the little square bowl it was packed into, resulted in a lot of the salad falling out onto the table no matter what I did. Everything else was perfect for myself and the rest of my party. If in the area I would visit again but ask for a larger bowl to put my side salad in.Great food·Great value·Creative cocktails“
“Honestly, I love TJs. Many of the reviews for this establishment paint it out to be a college frat party, but that honestly has not been my experience. I will start out by stating that TJs does stay open late, so therefore there is a late-night crowd. As anyone knows, patrons that partake in late-night crowds can sometimes get rowdy, and therefore, there are negative reviews about the staff. For what it is worth, the staff at TJs have always been incredibly awesome whenever I go. They are attentive, fast, and nice. Can the establishment get packed during the late night hours? Absolutely, but the staff do a great job of navigating this kind of rush to provide a great experience for all patrons. That being said, my favorite time for going to TJs is during their pre-rush time, which is typically anytime before 8/9pm. The bar is expansive, but no matter where you sit, it feels like you are sitting at the bar. There are TVs everywhere to watch any game that might be on, and they always have drink specials when Boston/New England teams are playing. Drinks are your typical bar drinks (think vodka sodas, margaritas, etc.) but they also have a wide variety of draft and can offerings. My favorite thing about TJs? Their food. It's probably the most underrated food in the Portsmouth area. They have a wide variety of offerings, and they consistently change up their specials. Think elevated pub food...not your greasy gross pub food. And their portions are huge for the money that you end up spending. All in all, TJs will continue to be a frequent spot of mine. Know what you are getting into when you come late night, but if you get the chance to come pre-rush, you'll find the charm and allure of the food, staff, and venue.“
