Sooo happy to find a spot that has tomato sauce as an option, everything came out real quick and real hot and the sauce was well seasoned. read more

Blink's Fry Doe - Bakeries Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

I was really looking forward for some classic boardwalk fry dough, but unfortunately the experience was not great. The fry dough itself was ok, not bad but nothing special. What really left a bad taste was the price. It was surprisingly expensive for something so simple , just a fry dough with a little bit of sugar. I was expecting a good treat not a sticker shock. Definitely not worth what they are charging. Service was fine and the ambiance was kind of quiet. read more

Blink's Fry Doe - This is $7.00. Can you believe it? FRY DOUGH WITH SUGAR & CINNAMON - Bakeries Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Loved their fried dough. I'm from CT, so our fried dough is round and huge. This one was perfect and filling without feeling gross after. My friend and I shared a savory one with tomato sauce, garlic, and cheese and a sweet one with chocolate and powdered sugar. We also got two frozen lemonades. Even after taking it to go, the fried dough remained crunchy and delicious. The pricing is a bit expensive though.... read more

Unfortunately this is the third time I've been here and they've gotten so skimpy with the dough that every time they make it is thin and crispy. I even asked this last time for them to make it undercooked because it's nasty the owner needs to take charge and add more dough or teach these people how to cook fried dough read more

Blink's Fry Doe - Crispy fried !? Not soft and chewy - Bakeries Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Closed at12:20 instead of 1 because "business was slow" even though they turned away 4 groups of customers. Ridiculous.

Fry doe. Did they capture Bambi and she's in terrible danger? I guess the name is a little like "shave ice" though both make me want to scramble up a ladder, stretch out my arm and grammatically fix the signage with a sharpie. Well, Blink's Fry Doe is a flat oval of fried dough dusted with your choice of sprinkled flavors. Melts in your mouth with the sugar raining onto your lips and shirt. I could have a fleeting summer romance with this stuff. *Cash only* read more

Hampton Beach institution. Fantastic fried dough, love the Works, but there so many other topping options. Gotta change up every time I visit. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. There were about 5-7 employees behind the counter and not a single one of them were welcoming. The cashier was rude and impatient. We ordered the cinnamon and sugar fried dough and their vanilla "shake." The cinnamon and sugar was very basic and not to mention really thin. The vanilla shake wasn't even a shake. After I ordered and saw how they made it I didn't even want it anymore. The employees were all not only unwelcoming but also unsanitary as well. Not a single one of them were wearing gloves. Touching cash, hair, and their face while serving food.. We took one bit of the fried dough and threw it right in the trash. We had no more than 3 sips of the shake and also threw it out at the next trash can we saw. This place was a waste of money. Also, cash only! read more

Cash only! They only have fried dough and some drinks. We ordered the butter and sugar fried dough and one walnut honey. My husband was indifferent about the walnut honey. The honey is thin and the walnuts wasn't covered in any honey so it was dry, unseasoned nuts on top of thinned out honey and fried dough. The dough itself is more flat and long - no air bubbles which is the parts I love. The butter and sugared one is the same way. Not a lot of butter or sugar. The additional powdered sugar helped make it sweet but overall, light on the topping. I'm a fan of anything fried so for me it hit the spot but I've had better at carnivals and other places. read more

When I'm strolling along Ocean Blvd in Hampton Beach each summer, I always look for the bright orange sign to get my fried dough fix at Blink's Fry Doe, which is so awesome!!!! Blink's Fry Doe is offered in 20 different toppings including: sugar, cinnamon & sugar, powdered sugar, butter & sugar, tomato sauce & cheese, apple cinnamon, chocolate w jimmies, pb & j, garlic & butter, cheese, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, honey & walnuts, pure maple sugar, whip creme, coconut, sauce, apple, and chocolate. Can't decide?? You can even choose your own combination such as apple & chocolate and sauce & garlic. My favorites are the traditional cinnamon sugar, blueberry and honey & walnuts. The dough is made to order and comes out hot, crispy on the outside, soft & chewy inside and goes very well with a fresh squeezed lemonade or slush. The other night, I skipped dessert after having dinner at a nearby restaurant so I could have some Blink's Fry Doe before leaving town. What a great summertime treat! read more

Blink's Fry Doe - Bakeries Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

I wish I could give this a 5 star but unfortunately this place grosses me out. I visited this establishment Sat evening. The service was fast. Maybe because most people we're still choosing to quarantine at home. With the coronavirus, I would assume ALL food establishments would take precautions by maintaining cleanliness. This place, the lemonade stand next door as well as the Italian food next door all utilized their gloves wrong. Poorly trained staff. They do wear a mask. They ask their customers to practice social distancing but they touch everything with the same gloves! I watch them collect CASH, touch their computer screen, open up the register and then HANDLED FOOD all with the same gloves. Then did it again for the next customer. I am not sure if these people understand cross contamination but once you touch money or anything else you must change your gloves. Disgusting. I got my fried dough and ate around the part the cashier did not touch. It was absolutely delicious. The texture, cinnamon, butter and sugar combo was delightful. I just wish this place knew better. People are watching you guys!!! Learn how to use gloves properly and be cleaner especially during a time like this! read more

Haven't had fried dough in years and this definitely hit the spot! Hot and sugary, I just got the standard powdered sugar but would try a lot of the different kinds they have. read more

Blink's Fry Doe - Powdered sugar fried dough - Bakeries Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

The best friend dough anywhere. Hands, coated in powdered sugar, down. Yes I know "it's just fried dough" but Blinks does it right with a quality dough and good toppings. Sadly they are closed for the season now so you'll have to wait for spring. read more

Great place with friendly service and historic charm. We love the dough. You can't go wrong here read more

The BEST fried dough I have EVER had! It's not cheap junk. The dough is quality and tastes delicious. It's very reasonable too - $3.95 for one and it's big. You do have to wait a short time because they prepare each one individually and it's SOO worth the wait. They give you a ticket (like at a deli counter) and they have it hot and ready in about 2 minutes. I got the standard powdered sugar. It comes with one side powdered, other side granulated sugar. It was SO good. They have a lot of toppings and prepare them to taste. I wish I lived closer bc I would want to go there all the time. Definitely check this place out. Forget the cheap stands and go there! read more

The best fried dough. Variety of toppings is incredible. Variety of things available. A must visit at Hampton beach.

Not what is once was. Kids and I were bummed. And it wasnt even hot! How did that happen? Did they pull a switch-a-roo and give us some cold stuff on stand bye? Went all the way to Hampton Beach for fried dough and a walk on the beach. We got half of it anyway. Will never buy fried dough there again. read more

Best fried dough on the boulevard at Hampton Beach. Get it with sugar and cinnamon and trust me you won't be disappointed. read more

Walking along the beach and saw the store and tried out their fried dough. Got the 'works' for $4.55... honey, powder and cinnamon. The fried dough came out quickly and was the shape of a flattened small sub roll as it was stretched. Flavor wise, it was good. The issue I had with it was that it took less than 2 minutes to come out. Not just mine, but the next order after me. That tells you that it was NOT Freshly made but Reheated! It was warm, good and stretchy but wasn't hot or crispy after coming out of the deep fryer. If the company is going to charge money for fried 'doe', at least make it FRESH! Good but Disappointed! read more

Blink's Fry Doe - Bakeries Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

I was pretty stoked to try this place. We tried the Buttery Garlic with added cheese and a Buttery Sugar. Honestly didn't taste like fried dough at all. Dough was far too dense, flavorless and not buttery at all like regular fried dough. The staff was super friendly but won't return. Go next door and get a real fried dough! read more

I haven't been to Blinks in years......we went as kids. Always good times. We would chow down on some fried dough and then get stoned to the bejesus. Gotta luv Hampton.....what a mess. read more

Is it a funnelcake? No. Is it an elephant ear? No. Is it a donut? Noooo. Its fry doe! Well what the hell is a fry doe, tho?? In case you are not from the area and see these fried dough stands all over the place, its scent penetrating your nostrils begging you to come in.. Just do. We had no idea what this even was, but it smelled like heaven and all 15 or so people in line couldnt possibly be wrong. I still dont know exactly what it is, except for the obvious; fried dough. It sorta reminds me of bread dough, perhaps slightly sweetened and deepfried til the edges are crisp and the center is still soft. The list of toppings are admirable and range from sweet and fairly traditional (chocolate, fruit, powdered sugar) to savory such as garlic. We stuck with cinnamon sugar, and found these puppies eerily addictive. We came back throughout our trip several times and may or may not have eaten two each. Funny concept, it is super basic but it works. And it's damn delicious to boot! read more

Like Def Leppard? If speeding along the highway on a gorgeous summer day on the way to the beach singing along to "I'm hot, sticky sweet, from my head to my feet..." sounds like fun, you'll probably like Blink's too. It's exactly that: a hot, sticky and sweet guilty pleasure. And after a day at Hampton Beach and a stop at Blink's, you will be too. No, it's not the greatest fried dough in the world, but again, at the beach, washed down with a cup of freshly squeezed lemonade "Oh, I can't get enough..." read more

Fried Dough is fried dough is fried dough... I've had it in SO many forms (Italian zeppoles,Filipino bicho-bicho, Chinese donuts, Greek loukoumades, those sickly sweet Indian balls floating in sugar water, the tried and true carnival funnel cake)! However, I can confidently say that Fry Doe is ONE OF MY FAVORITES. It's so simple.. flat! Like a pizza! No mess from having to dig your hand into and around a greasy bag of powdered sugar like zeppoles. No sticky syrupy mess on your hands like the honey loukoumades, no disastrous and inevitable dusting of powdered sugar all over your shirt from the wind gently blowing over your funnel cake! It's clean and tasty and what's best... you can put like, ANYTHING on it. It's fried dough, not rocket science... and even the bad stuff is good... But the GOOD stuff, is REALLY good. Definitely coming back- probably this weekend lol read more

Hampton Beach. A trip to Hampton Beach isn't a trip to Hampton Beach unless you've hit Blinks for some Fried Dough. Now, understand, there are two locations on the strip. And unusually, they're really not that far from each other. A friend and I had visited the one further away from the Hampton Ballroom and Casino...which is rumored to be the original. The dough is well fried...comes with about two dozen different choices of toppings...ranging from sweet to savory...and will cost you approx $3.75 a piece. I know at most carnivals and amusement parks, the fried dough comes out round...well, this one is more long...like a hotdog bun, but really, it's plenty of fried dough for one person, maybe even split if you're not feeling up for the task. We both happen to have chosen the butter/sugar combo...with some cinnamon on top of that. Was a bit windy that day, so sugar and cinnamon was all over the place, but the butter kept much of it still on the dough. Regardless...it's really good. Have to stop... read more

Fried dough is okay, however not worth price. Drinks are very overpriced as well. Questionable effort on the staffs part.

My love of fried dough, is probably disgustingly unhealthy, but you know what, we'll just shake it off as part of the "beach experience" how does that sound for rationalization? It works like a charm almost every other time I go up here. I've been to both locations, and can't really say that there is a difference that I can tell. The prices have gone up, not an incredible amount, since I first went there, but that is a trend I've noticed at most places I've been to over the past few years. DO IT! GO GET YERSELF SOME SWEET WARM FRIED DOUGH. Just watch out for the wind. You will end up covered in confectioners sugar if you don't play your cards right. read more

4.5 stars... I first saw Blinks when they were featured on the Phantom Gourmet and I knew I had to check them out on my next trip to Hampton Beach. They're a tiny operation (just a walk-up window) right on the beach alongside all of the other shops. All they have here is fried dough but they do it differently than anyone else. They make a long skinny fried dough and you've got a couple dozen different toppings you can get. Forget about cinnamon and sugar, butter, or powdered sugar (which are also very good here), it's definitely worth going for something more interesting like the PB&J or Butter and Garlic. Blinks should be on everyone's go-to list if you're in the Hampton Beach area (depending on how much you like fried dough it's probably even worth a drive out to Hampton Beach just for these babies). read more

Blink's has the greatest fried dough on earth. Hands down. I grew up in New Hampshire and remember having Blink's as a treat when we made the trip to the beach. We return to New Hampshire every summer for our family vacation and this year, my husband and I introduced our daughters to Blink's. First of all, the fried dough and lemonade were as yummy as we remembered them. Second, our daughters LOVED the fried dough - so much so that we had to make a second trip to Hampton from Rye later in the week. So delicious! read more

Had to try it. Pretty damn good dough! Not enough to earn 4 stars but if I'm ever on Hampton Beach again, I may succumb to this wicked fried treat. Note to set expectations: Blinks dough is narrower, firmer, and less greasy than many fried doughs I've tried and they offer a plethora of toppings. While easier to eat, some may find that it somehow loses some of the decadent goodness that is fried dough and its pricier than the competition. read more

My boyfriend and I love Blinks! Any time we are in Hampton Beach we go here first. Don't listen to any of these 1 star reviews.. Yes, their fried dough is narrow but it is a decent size. Also to mention when you are on a boardwalk it is easier to eat a non round fried dough. I highly recommend the peanut butter fried dough! Yum! read more

I said. "Fried Dough! What is that?" I was told "It is the best!" I can agree very tasty treat-made fresh to order, hot and yummy. Many flavors to choose from. I tried the Garlic and Butter. Many people seem to get the Powdered Sugar. Blink's I will definitely revisit when in the area again. read more

Fried dough...we know we shouldn't eat it. We know it's just a lump of bread dough deep-fat fried in oil and then topped with grams and grams of sugar. But...if you are going to treat yourself, this is the place to go. Most beach and local fair food stalls serve fried dough. However, to do this consistently well is an achievement. Blinks is often rated #1 in New Hampshire magazine for having the best fried dough; and, there's a reason for this: they do. It starts with the clever shape. Theirs is long and thin making it amazingly easy to eat while walking. It's also the right size. Most fried dough is really two portions which most of us will gladly eat. Blinks is just the right size for one and you don't feel like a blimp when you've finished. The dough is crispy and super chewy in the middle. Eating this you just get happy, real happy. While they offer a dozen or so toppings, I prefer to stick to plain sugar. It's not the most healthful thing you'll eat all summer; but, if you spent the winter getting yourself in shape, a fried dough or two won't kill you. read more

Fresh dough made to order. Lots of variety. Recommend the PBJ with a lemonade. Great quick stop on the boardwalk for breakfast or a snack. read more

Blink's Fry Doe - PBJ on top. Cinnamon sugar on bottom. - Bakeries Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

blink's fry doe is the best thing about hampton beach. if, for some reason, you're not a fan of teenagers, tramp stamps/tribal bands, hair grease or baby phat, that statement probably doesn't mean much to you. let me rephrase by saying that blink's fry doe serves up the best fried dough you will ever eat- that greasy stale stuff you get at the fair doesn't even come close. blink's "doe" comes out piping hot and as fresh as fried dough can possibly get. the dough is soft and chewy with just the right of crispness. it's like your favorite pizza crust, and that's basically what it is- sweet pizza dough. prices start at about 3 dollars and change and you can choose from about 20 sweet or savory toppings. i'm a fan of the buttah and sugah (forgeddabout the diet for a minute!). they have two busy locations on the boardwalk and it's definitely worth standing in line for...even behind that pair of sixteen year olds sucking face. read more

I'm writing this review as I stare out my window at a snowy day in April :( I'm looking forward to the summer when I can enjoy the beach and Blink's again! Blink's makes the best fried dough and yeah it's not your average fried dough... but that's what makes it awesome. I love the thinness, crispiness and shape that allows you to it very easily. They have many toppings but I always go for the classic sugar + cinnamon. Their fried dough makes any beach day perfect! read more

Blinks Fried Doe is the best fried dough, not just at Hampton Beach but anywhere. A trip to Hampton Beach is just not complete without at least 2 or more (there are sooo many different flavors) one chocolate with jimmies and one with the "works"... then there is sauce and cheese, maple sugar and honey and walnuts and .... this could go on forever :) Do yourself a favor and take the trip to get some next time you are in the area of Hampton Beach, NH. read more

Many on the boardwalk claim to have the biggest fried dough, but what does size matter if the flavors are not there? This is the best fried dough. I keep it simple and get fried dough with the works ( butter, cinnamon and powdered sugar). It is delish. It is our family tradition to stop here first thing in the morning, yes we eat fried dough for breakfast!!!! So stop in and enjoy!!! read more

I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Busy place but the line moves quickly. Cinnamon and powder is off the charts. Looking forward to Summer '17 when I can revisit. read more

I love me some blinkys.. I get a large fried dough.. soda... and sit... best 15 mins of my day..
