Restaurants near Rye

“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!”

“As a local surfing bum, it's essential to have a spot within walking distance of the beach at which I can grab some good coffee, hearty food, and strong WiFi. Common Roots has a surplus, boasting an inviting atmosphere which has helped to make it a local watering hole for the townsfolk of North Hampton and Rye. The owner is warm and focused on bringing the best experience possible to customers. His leadership cascades to other employees, so you feel the TLC with every interaction. Be sure to stop in next visit to Rye! Did I mention they sell beer too??”

“I had a great Rachael Rubin and sweet potato fries. Delicious flavors and the fries were cooked just right.My friend had the fish tacos that looked delicious and a very generous size.The service was great as was the atmosphere.”

“Awesome homemade ice cream...creamy and not too sweet! Lots of windows so no long lines and great prices! Try it!!! Will definitely go back! Lots of flavors to choose from! We all got different flavors and everyone was happy!”

“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”

“Loved this place! The food was fantastic. Known for their lobster rolls and they did not disappoint. The hand battered onion rings were also incredible and I am picky. The staff was super friendly and the view was also amazing.”

“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.”

“So happy we just popped it. After hearing great things we were driving by and stopped in . So glad we did. We were a day before our 10 yr anniversary and they made us feel so special. The food and drinks were great. I got sushi and Brussels.”

“What a gem! Although we are "regulars" of the Kittery food and drink scene we hadn't made it here until a wintery Friday night. Cozy vibe, extremely friendly, attentive, creative staff. The Bourbon lovers in our crowd praised "A fist in the mouth of time" and "Something for Timmy". The gin drinkers loved "Text me Ishmael" and the tequila lovers loved "Jupiter Jazz". We managed to sample a cocktail created by each of the mixologists working... we coverd a lot of the menu territory but there is still much more to explore. We're definitely coming back. Thanks to the team of talented folks behind the bar.”

“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.”

“One of the best ramen experiences I’ve ever had, the food was delicious, the chefs were amazing and social, will definitely be taking the trip up again from NY to visit!”

“I cannot say enough about how happy I was that Popovers was closed on Tuesday. My wife and I were originally intending on going there, and needed to find an alternative. We stumbled upon Elephantine. Wow! We walked into this charming little cafe and were transported to Paris. The products looked delicious, and we soon found out that they didn’t only look delicious. The young lady, who was serving us, was exceptionally friendly and added to our pleasure. We ordered a yogurt, with, as I can recall, a pistachio, brittle granola, sliced fruit, honey and so on. We also wanted to just try some of their bread in toast form so I asked if we could order something that wasn’t on the menu. We just ordered some sourdough bread and wanted to have it with butter and jelly. The server promptly made it happen. The food was delivered and all of it was prepared at a very high level. Everything was not only prepared well in terms of ingredients and quality of the food, but it was also cooked/displayed nicely. The medley of food, atmosphere, and music made for the nicest breakfast I have had in a long time. We would recommend this shining star to anyone! The Elephantine is top notch!”

“The absolute attention to detail is something you never knew that you needed in your dining experience until you have had the pleasure of dining at Massimos. The new chef is absolutely stellar. The sommelier is the best in Portsmouth.”

“I have been here several times. And the ambiance is always great. The staff is great. I have had the duck, land, and steak, they were all delicious. The French onion soup is really good. Everything I have ordered here has not disappointed in taste. You can spend $100 on one person with food and drinks. But you should come here for the food and experience not the price if that matters to you.”

“Delicious creative food; family friendly clean and fun. Loved everything. Cauliflower, bao, rice cakes delicious - and buttered pasta for kids was a huge hit. Love love love.”

“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.”

“This place was jumping!! Line wrapped fully around the counter and out the door! And their food explains why! From their pastries to their pizza everything was so tasty! We also got this sausage with jalapeño and cheddar cheese wrapped in a melt in your mouth croissant! It was so delicious! I ate all my food before thinking of taking a picture because it was that tasty! oh ya, and don’t forget to try one of their house made crullers!”

“This place is pretty rad. My gf and I were looking for a cool spot for lunch (she's vegetarian, I'm not) and we found this joint. Sat at the bar, our server Lindsey was present but not looming, helpful but not pushy and kinda funny. Cocktail menu seemed new w names like "almost summer" and a solid beer list. The menu is broad enough that there were MANY options for each of us, and the portions were average to large. Whoever said the portions were small needs to stop ordering off the kids menu. Good music that you can recognize but always in the background. Just a cool, funky joint w great food. Eat here.”

“Decided to try something new with my work crew, and got recommendations that Durbar was great. As soon as I walked in, everyone was super friendly and personable, and the atmosphere was calming and comfortable. The smells and decorations really put me in a good mood and ready to try the food. We ordered a little bit of everything, so we could try as much as possible, and that was without a doubt a great idea because everything (yes everything) was fantastic. Tried all the sides and desserts, and a good variety of the entrees, and my goodness...what a excellent experience, it was legitimately all so delicious, nobody tried anything they didn't like. 100% will be coming back and continuing to spread the word at work because this made our week.Kid-friendliness: While I was there, everyone was very kind and courteous. A younger child came in to pick up some food with her dad and was treated very nicely and respectfully, and engaged with at her level. She seemed super excited to get her rice pudding, and I know why now, it's amazing.”

“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.”

“Thanksgiving sub was delicious! My husband also enjoyed his 1 pound steak and cheese sub! The woman working behind the counter was nice and cheerful and made my experience very pleasant!”

“My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have traveled the world, and I can say with complete confidence that we had THE BEST breakfast of our lives at Friendly Toast in Portsmouth NH. I had The Irish Benedict, and my wife had The Hash Quiche. Oh my gosh! They were off-the-chain delicious. These aren't like a standard breakfast from IHOP or Denny's. These are breakfast choices I don't recall having had before. The food was so good that we went two mornings in a row. If you're ever in Portsmouth, eat here. Get there right at 8 am because it fills up in a hurry. Basil was our waiter the first morning, and Summer was our waitress the second morning, and they both did a great job.”

“We have just had the best breakfast here, the best since we landed in Boston last week! Very tasty food, I would highly recommend this lovely cafe! First day it opened too! I wish them luck for the future!”

“This absolutely phenomenal I had the bacon, egg and cheese croissant with avocado. Also, iced lavender latte splendidly delicious. I would definitely recommend and coming back AGAIN!”

“This is such a lovely family owned business. The staff were so kind and we loved chatting with the owner's son. The portions and freshness were both impeccable. Especially loved the salad dressings, the beautifully done medium rare lamb, the smooth hummus, and the lamb special with green beans. Really though, everything was delicious and very fairly priced, and we were happy to have such yummy leftovers. Wish we had one of these in my town!”

“Love this place. I'm a regular. A+ across the grid except folks, your tiny napkins are horrible. I have to use about 20 to eat a burger. Do yourselves a favor and profile a decent napkin. If not I'm gonna start bringing my own Viva. You're a burger joint...time to step it up! ?”

“I have been doing deliveries to the new fire next door, and Joe's happened to be next door and decided to check the place out and fell in love with place. Everything I have got has been amazing, especially a breakfast sandwich .”

“I went with two friends and we really enjoyed our full experience at Nichinan. This is a great place to share different plates. It was hard to choose what to order because everything on the food and drink menu is fun and enticing. Everything we tried was delicious! The service was perfect. There was never an empty cup, we had everything we needed, our server knew each dish really well and was excited to share about the chef's menu. The atmosphere is just about the best in town. Clean, well designed and gorgeous dining area. The same goes for the bathroom and waiting area. Looking forward to going back!Dietary restrictions: The server made sure to ask everyone at the table if there were allergies or diet restrictions in the group to be aware of.”

“Wow, this food tastes so good I just loved it so much. I love these fries they just warm my mouth and these two chick sandwiches man they just taste so freaking good.”

“After a long trip traveling from Long Island Bahamas, we were cold and hungry. Stopped in and Lola was so welcoming, made me and my daughter Isabella (9 years old) feel right at home. Isabella who is usually quiet, chatted with Lola the entire time she prepared our food. We had a lamb gyro, chicken shawarma and chicken nuggets.. everything was great. Will definitely be back. Thanks Lola?”
