Paige was a wonderfully personable server, attentive service and fast deliver of our pizzas. Salad seemed expensive at $7.75. Pizza crust is thin and chewy. Just delicious. Thanks for your visit! We're glad to hear that your service was great while you were here. Our salads are made from scratch and feature local head lettuce, spring mix, and kelp (with local carrots and celery coming later in the season). We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Walking around Portsmouth, we came across Earth Eagle Brewings and stopped by for a beer. We originally sat outside, but since it started raining (and their covering apparently allows water through), we moved inside where it was hot and humid. We asked the bartender and server if they could turn up the fans, but even with that, air wasn't moving. I hope that Earth Eagle Brewings considers investing in some central air or something.Other than that, we really enjoyed the beers that are made right there. Our friends mentioned that Earth Eagle Brewings' beer menu had changed from when they were there 2 weeks ago, so it is good to see a brewery updating and rotating their beers.Finding the entrance to Earth Eagle Brewings may be tough since they are located on a side street. We wouldn't mind going back, but we hope that there is good weather.

What a disappointment. Went here after reading all of the positive reviews and honestly wish we would have gone to a McDonaldâs instead. The dining room was so bright it felt like a cafeteria instead of a restaurant. We started off by ordering an appetizer of fried clams which was a small portion that came out in a red and white paper container. They were listed at market price and we were appalled to see that they had the audacity to charge $28 when the bill came. I ordered an El Poloma off of the cocktail menu and received an oversized glass of soda water with a splash of grapefruit juice. Entrees were bland and lackluster. An hour and a half and $135 that I can never get back. Please donât waste your time. Hello shannonjb52,Weâre sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent experience with us. Weâre taking the feedback youâve given us seriously. Of course we try to keep our prices as reasonable as possible while being committed to the high-quality products we use, employing talented chefs and bartenders, and donât forget those ocean views! While an apology will not alter the outcome of your experience, I do extend it with sincerity and empathize regarding the points you made in your review.

I was visiting the area and some local friends suggested we head up to Jumpinâ Jayâs for a dinner get together. I had heard of JJâs but hadnât been yet. The atmosphere is fun and seafood chic, and in no way pretentious. The service (Bridgette) was knowledgeable, totally fun and engaging. She was terrific!We started with the fried calamari. Itâs was excellent! It consisted of calamari, some potatoes, a few shishito peppers and a nice aioli dipping sauce. We also tried the classic Caesar salad. And yes, it comes with white anchovies if you want them (gotta have âem!). The salad was classically tasty. For entrees we tried the yellowfin tuna special (there is also yellowfin on the regular menu) and the special served up some different sides than the regular preparation. The tuna was cooked rare per the chefs suggestion. The sushi grade tuna was melt in your mouth good. We also went with the lemon pepper linguini served with shrimp, scallops and mussels. The sauce was a basil pesto and there was just the right amount on the plate to provide great flavor and color. Over-saucers will want to get a small side of pesto. The seafood was cooked to perfection and the made in-house pasta was al-dente and flavorful! There is an ample wine list but they arenât giving it away. We went with a nice Oregon Pinot Gris (Brooks) that paired well with the food and was just easy drinking. There are also a menu of interesting mixed drinks for those that feel like mixing it up. We looked at the dessert menu but had absolutely no room left. the blueberry shortcake sounded so good (changes in season). We promised we would try them another time as there will certainly be another time during a venture to Portsmouth. Put Jumpinâ Jays on your list for a fun outing with terrific food and service!

Colby's is a very small restaurant but the offerings are enormous! We ordered a Reuban Omelette and Eggs Benedict. Both were generous portions! I was really intrigued by the cinnamon swirl french toast offered on the menu so I ordered one slice. It was HUGE! The best french toast I have ever had! We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and can understand why there is always a wait for a table. But the wait is so worth it.

I'm not a fan of chain steakhouses, but Longhorns impressed me. 3 of us sat at the bar for a late dinner. The bartender was the worst part of the meal. He was unfriendly and slightly rude. Despite him, we really enjoyed our meal. Craft beer selection was limited, but they did offer a full bar. Ordered my steak (14 oz) rib-eye Med-Rare, and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Bread and loaded baked potato was nothing to write home about, but the side order of onions and mushrooms was fantastic.

While the Roundabout has Bloody Marys and Flights of Mimosas, their food is "average" at best. Plentiful but greasy. With so much competition in Portsmouth and Hampton, one would think the food at the Roundabout would be better!

My family and I were driving from NJ to Maine and stopped here for lunch. Well worth the extra few minutes off the highway. WAY better than fast food. Outstanding hamburgers. Stairway to heaven specialty burger was delicious. My wife had a cluck burger on grilled cheese with bacon. WOW!!! Burgers do not come with fries but they are served perfectly neat with no frills. A burger that wonât make an enormous mess when you eat it. Cucumber Mint lemonade may sound gross but my wife and I thought it tasted amazing. My daughter had strawberry lemonade which was awesome as well. We each had a milkshake which was a perfect size. They were a little thin but we enjoyed that. Servers/owners were super nice and you could tell they were proud of their place. Small dining area so you may have to wait or you might get lucky. They have bar seating so if itâs just two of you itâll be easier to get a seat. Cool vibe in the joint overall! â®ï¸ â¤ï¸ And we even got mini chocolate chip cookies on our check!

My husband and I happened to be traveling in New Hampshire when we decided to stop for an early dinner. We used Google to find out what was around and decided to check out Newick's. We couldn't have been happier we did. My husband really likes lobster so we found ourselves in a great place. The service, value and quality were all good. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, we would come back to this restaurant. We both enjoyed our meals.
