10 Best American Restaurants in Portsmouth

“We had a great birthday experience aboard the train & plan on returning many times. We chose The Spruce Car, (as opposed to the murder mystery) which is aptly named, as it's filled with rich, warm woods. The cozy lighting & up-scale, but not pretentious, decor created the perfect ambiance for a romantic birthday. Dinner service was nothing short of wonderful. Our server, Maddie, was friendly, beautiful, and attentive. Both of our dinners were delicious and the cocktails were perfect. More locals should enjoy the Bellevue Grand. It's worth every penny.“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“Great food and the wait staff very friendly.“

“Best burger I’ve had in a long time,I got the Schuitzy’s burger one patty delicious“

“I really enjoyed my experience here. It has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a relaxed breakfast or lunch. The food is consistently good and comes in generous portions, which I always appreciate. It is definitely the kind of place where you can count on friendly service and a hearty meal to start your day.“

“excellent wings fast service and great prices.“

“Love to hangout on the top deck over looking the Sakonnet River. Please do crank up your coolers beers are not very cold.“

“I can only speak for the clam cakes which I found to be very good. They were a little small so they gave me extra. I have gone twice recently and both times they were out of stuffies. This is just after noon both times so you wouldn't expect that. The wait for the clam cakes was rather long too considering it takes five minutes to fry them. I will give them another try though.“

“This place is a solid go-to for classic American food done right. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. Fridays are an absolute win because of the $1 raw bar—great quality oysters at that price are hard to beat, and they were super fresh. What really made the experience stand out, though, was our server Mercy. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. You can tell she genuinely cares about great service. Between the food, the Friday raw bar deal, and Mercy’s top-notch service, this spot is definitely worth coming back to.“

“Great dog friendly restaurant!“
