“I enjoy this place a lot. Old school. Wish they would open the dining soon. They had a hard winter with the flooding this January. This venue is right on the water. Real cool watching the boats come by. Best salad bar in the area. Pumpkin bread rocks!“
“Had a great time tonight which included amazing cocktails(Spicy Margherita), dinner(Nam Jam Haddock) and dessert(chocolate flourless cake)!!I need to eat gluten free and there were many options. Service was great, they didn’t rush us and we enjoyed a three hour dinner, where we could relax in an open atmosphere.“
“We went to Bob's the other day for lunch and was surprised when we went to pay for the our clams and scallops basket 69.75. It was good but it's not worth going for lunch at that price. Last year for the same basket we paid 50.00. a lot of French fries in both baskets and scallops and calms scattered on top. For some reason I cannot add photos.“
“We drove a very long way to have Maine lobster for my son’s birthday and we’re NOT disappointed. The portions were not huge and it was quite pricey however, our waitress (I think her name was Lacy??) was so sweet! She made sure to make my son’s evening special.She was knowledgeable, diligent and kind. The food was delicious ESPECIALLY the desserts (in my opinion).My son INHALED the lobster and said this has been his favorite birthday so far!Kid-friendliness: Yummy sundae for the birthday boy!!“
“Loved this experience! The ambiance upstairs was perfect and the cocktails were unique and delicious. The food was fantastic and I highly recommend the scallops. A dessert drink finished my night and I would highly recommend this for a date night dinner!“
“Not terrible. I had the surf and turf with filet and lobster tail. It was not terrible lobster, but it was a little tough which was surprising given the location and the about $80 that the plate costed. The steak was a little better but could have used more flavor. Over-all not bad, but the plate should have been more at a $45 price point relative to its quality. I would say keep the higher price and improve the plate.“
“The Puddle Dock was pretty much exactly as I expected, considering how much I had looked into it ahead of time. The entire reason for going was for the rarebit my boss had informed me of during a discussion about foods I had grown up with.The food was all incredible and was interesting to see the inside of the building since I had grown up going to Strawberry Bank as a child and getting pickles from a pickle barrel when it was a store. The post and beam structure still looks incredible and the layout of the bar is extremely well done. The atmosphere that is given was extremely laid back. The one thing that took away, for me, was a few of the wait staff that had come by have an arrogance when speaking to you that is a bit off putting. It is clear that it is not all of them but enough to discourage.I had an old fashioned, the rarebit which came with bits of duck, brussel sprouts and a fried egg on top as an appetizer and the Shepard's pie as a meal. The Shepard's pie came out with a crust making it look more like pot pie but added a wonderful texture to it. The flavor was incredible though be warned of how hot that dish is and how long it will need to cool. Definitely worth the visit and experience.“
“A great find! Everyone was very friendly, the food was delicious, and beautiful ocean views from the restaurant windows. Our waitress, Melissa, was super friendly and very attentive. The prices were very reasonable as well. We will definitely be back!“
“From the minute you walk into The Franklin you feel the warmth of the space. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. We ate everything and it was flippin amazing - I took my sister and her husband here and his eyes lit up when he caught site of the selection of oysters! He still talks about The Franklin and makes me take him there every time they are in town.“
“This by far is the best place to go in the area for a meal they in my view are top rank because of how clean they keep the restaurant it is never short staffed and they are friendly I love the burger and fries here I don't eat any seafood but I do love what I've tried from here never one thing has gone wrong for my here“
“I haven't had a full 5 star experience at a place in a while. This is a restaurant but honestly it felt like so much more than a simple place to sit and be served food. John and Susan, the owners, were great to chat with. The space was decorated with a great vibe. The food was absolutely spectacular with unexpected flavors that were delicious. It's not cheap but it's a great value in my opinion. Highly recommend.“
“My husband and I sat at the bar- enjoyed impeccable service as we watched oysters being shucked in front of us. I had Welfleet oysters fresh and delish, and we both enjoyed bowls of perfect NE clam chowder! All of this paired with a Maine Lunch it was the perfect supper in a fun and chic atmosphere!“
“Great restaurant! First thing I noticed is the happiness of the employees o thing but smiles. Everyone working helped each other and they seemed to be a team who enjoys working with each other because of that our service was impeccable. From drinks to the food everything was delicious. We started with fried calamari cooked perfectly, we had warm rolls served with soft butter ,roasted garlic and olives. We ordered the salmon and monk fish both cooked with so much flavor and the presentation was beautiful. Then for dessert we ordered the banana cake new on the menu I’m not a sweet eater but this was perfect not too sweet…..definitely everyone should visit this restaurant.“
“We have been to the restaurant many times, but this was our first time at the hotel. We did a one night couples get away and could not have been happier. The rooms are lovely, clean, and have wonderful personal touches. The location can not be beat, sound of ocean waves all night. We were able to just walk downstairs and have an amazing meal! We will definitely be back!“
“We eat here frequently because of the team, food quality and price. Besides the amazing roast beef you must try: crab salad wrap or get the crab salad roll that comes with fries - the crab salad is great, BLT wrap, coleslaw, any of the seafood but the plate portions are huge and feeds 2, chicken wings, salad, onion rings!You can't go wrong here, we have never had a meal that wasn't great.“
“It is truly some of the best seafood in the area. Consistent quality, fair pricing, & always prepared great. Staff has always been great. My wife and I enjoy the atmosphere.Parking: Parking can be a little tight at peak times, but when it's really busy, there is usually someone to help direct and keep things moving. Off peak parking is no problem, plenty of room.“
“The food was solidly good, however nothing compelling enough to crave. The staff was very attentive and nice. Unfortunately, it was really loud. I would not go if you want a romantic or high-end feel. There are many better restaurants around the seacoast, but it wasn't bad by any stretch.“
“What a great find! Wonderful selection of classic breakfast choices and darn tasty to boot. Homemade biscuits covered in cream beef, homemade corn beef hash and the waffles! Oh my. I wish the place was closer to my house.I strongly recommend Hebert'“
“We are locals and look forward to Rays opening up in the spring. We went for a late lunch a week after their seasonal opening on an unexpectedly nice day. We were fortunate to not have to deal with a busy place at the time that we went and we got a booth overlooking the ocean. It's a gorgeous view where we watched early spring surfers and the waves roll in. Rays is very clean and has a pretty extensive menu with both delicious fried seafood and yummy baked dishes. We split an order of steamers which were some of the better ones we've had in the area. My husband had a medium order of haddock bites and he really enjoyed them while I had one of my favs, a tuna melt which was not greasy and was very tasty, with fries that were cooked just right. Our waitperson was friendly and appropriately attentive. Rays is not fancy, with paper plates and menus for placemats but if you're hankering for fresh seafood (they catch their own) you should definitely try Rays.“
“Oh ALICE,She and her husband own this restaurant and it shows the love.Young is the bartender and they yell your name when you enter. You feel amazing and as you notice, others do too. The person touch happens fast here and the food is fantastic. I have about everything on the menu but we have our go to items now. Join the family and this super clean and inviting place ☺️Vegetarian options: I have loved the tofu dishes and they do what you ask with what you need. I have tamari instead of soy sauce. Very helpful.Parking: The location is hard to find for new people but once you find it, you're in! The parking is easy and lots of it.Wheelchair accessibility: I was in a wheelchair after a stroke and it's one level from entrance to table. There is a ramp to avoid the curb but cars aren't always thoughtful about that.“
“Had an awesome experience at the oar house this weekend. Got to sit at the bar and taste some new creations from the bartender. Was really cool watching the experimentation and getting a first glance at the upcoming drinks. Snagged a couple of photos ??“
“Went here for the first time last weekend. Was very busy but, we showed up right in time and sat right down. Really good food. We had the Big Mac quesadilla, awesome! Mac and cheese with shaved steak. And my wife had a Caesar salad with steak tips. We loved everything. We'll go back. Looks like a great place to watch a game too.“
“We moved to NC several years ago and have never found pizza to compare with the Bratskellar. Perfect crust, high grade cheeses, many optional toppings including Greek sausage. Very active pizza kitchen and ovens surrounded by the bar. Many other items on the menu as well and they are all well prepared and portioned. We've bee customers for 25 years.“
“I waa starving and had read good reviews, so I decided to give it a try. Upon entering, the owner? was cleaning and the place was empty. It smelled overwhelming of horrible air freshener, it was cold (temperature) and deathly quiet. I ordered their lunch special and chose Chicken Panang and Crispy Spring Rolls, with a Thai Iced Tea. While waiting, I heard them use the microwave, which was disappointing and then heard them use it over and over for take out orders. That's a deal breaker for me.The food was very good, but the smell and atmosphere was off-putting. It's probably best to use this as a Take Out option only.Vegetarian options: Everything they have can be made vegetarianParking: Tons of free parking, as it's in a strip mall“
“This is the first restaurant I've visited while being back in the US, and I wasn't disappointed.The fish in the sandwich was twice as big as the bun!Great people, great location, and great food.I think the only thing I would change would be to add some made in hause sauces for the food.Overall great experience.Parking: There is plenty of parking on site.“
“We had a fabulous dinner at Shearwater! The service was fantastic, especially for a party of six. All of the food was delicious, we especially enjoyed the appetizers and the drinks were all tasty. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.“
“I thought it was a little pricey. We went at a busy time. They really packed them in. I got baked stuff lobster and it was delicious with whole shrimp and scallops in the stuffing. Not much "stuffing".The dining room overlooks the water but we couldn't see it because of the other tables.“
