Wish I could give 0 stars…read more Ordered a combo plate with clam strips and popcorn chicken. Clam strips must've been baby clams left at the bottom of the frozen bag. I had maybe 5 total that were over an inch long- the rest were tiny pieces. The popcorn chicken had no flavor besides the salt they added. "Market price" for this was $38! Kids grilled cheese was literally melted cheese between the two lightest toasted pieces of bread. No butter, no golden color at all. $70 for these meals, two sodas, and top. I will never go back.

We dined at Epoch many years ago, and found the experience to be unremarkable. We noticed that it…read morewas relaunched as Epoch Gastropub in the last year or so, and decided to give it a shot. Overall we had an enjoyable meal. They have a really nice outdoor patio which we hoped to enjoy, but it seems to be raining every weekend this summer, and so we had to sit inside. It was a Friday night, and the dining room was not very busy. Hostess and our server were incredibly friendly and made sure we were comfortable (there were some very cold AC vents near our table). We started with a fried cauliflower appetizer, which was good. Certainly not the best I've enjoyed, but tasty. Portion size was enough for a party of 4 or more! The cauliflower was a tempura batter style with a general gao's like sweet/sour sauce. It was served piping hot! Lobster roll was massive, cold mayo style and served with fried shallots, rather than onion rings. A nice twist and something I've never had before. Unfortunately, the fries served with this dish were limp. I'm pretty fussy about my fries and I just don't understand why some restaurants don't fry them to order. If you don't, you end up with luke warm, soggy fries that honestly are not worth eating. For me, that ruins the entire dish and I have to wonder what the kitchen is thinking sending out coldish limp fries. Another entree we tried were the Gnocchi with wild mushrooms. This was a nice dish and the gnocchi were light and fluffy, with plenty of mushrooms. A nice plate overall. We finished dinner with an orange granita dessert which came with plenty of carmelized orange peels on top, one of my favorites! In fact, I enjoyed the candied orange more than the Granita itself! Exeter is really having a moment with a number of great dining options. With just a tad more attention to the dishes, I think in time Epoch could be among those option restaurants. Give them a try

Sadly seems to have gone down over the years and just did absolutely nothing for us when we went this time. We got the poutine against our better judgment and against the advice of other yelpers, absolutely should have listened. It was white cheddar cheese and white gravy over fries with two onion rings on top. I understand wanting to do a twist on a classic poutine but the twist is usually supposed to elevate the classic - not the case here. It was just okay and absolutely wouldn't get it again. It was salted well but it just looked unappetizing and was bland otherwise This next thing is my fault because why would I expect anything more after the extremely weird appetizer? I ordered a $11 garden salad and did the steak tips add on for $10. It was truly not bigger than side salad and came with three very tough steak tips. My husband got the chicken fried chicken for $19 which was nothing to write home about but wasn't as offensive as the salad. The most annoying thing was the plates! The mains were served on dessert sized melamine plates One bright spot was that our server Lindsay was excellent

I've tried so many lobster rolls on my trips to the Northeast and Petey's jumbo cold roll wins…read morehands down. They use super fresh, long buns. I highly recommend getting the jumbo, as the normal roll comes on a round roll which is much smaller. The cold roll has the crunchiest, juiciest, freshest lobster mixed with a bit of mayo and thinly sliced shallots. The lobster to bread ratio is HIGH and you can really taste the fresh lobster. The bottom of the roll is also coated with shredded lettuce. The lettuce is an awesome touch, as it keeps the roll from getting soggy and also adds an additional fresh crunch. The location of Petey's is awesome as well. It's located right on a little stream that leads to the beach. My favorite thing to do is bring a cold Petey's roll to the beach on a hot summer day. The service is also excellent, making this my #1 lobster roll spot when I'm visiting the Northeast.

We only come here once a year for our fried Seafood fix and this time we got here right after they opened at 11:30a, otherwise, you may not get a parking spot! Parking is very limited, and if you can, go during the week when it's less crowded! We started out with a Blue Moon and Sam Summer on Draft! Reasonably priced at $6.50 ea. My Partner was graving some Onion Rings and I a cup of Clam Chowder! Our Waitress brought the Rings and Chowder first! When it comes to the Onion Rings there were a few good ones that were on top and hanging of the edge, see pic, but the rest of them were just to thin and a greasy stringy fried mess, way to thin to pick up, enjoy, and dip in Ketchup! Certainly not worth the $10 price! I saved a picture, that I found online, of what a properly fried order of Onion Rings should look like, see below, compared to the Petey's Onion Rings! Now, my first impression of the Clam Chowder! I've never ordered the Clam Chowder at Petey's but it ended up being disappointment number two! After the first plastic spoon full it was more like Clam Soup, thin and not a thick a creamy chowder with succulent pieces of Clams as expected, instead there were just a few shredded tiny pieces of clams and mostly potatoes! Yuk! One of the worst Clam Chowder's I've ever had and I've had a lot of Clam Chowder's in my 60 years of living in New England! The person who makes this Chowder definitely needs a lesson in making a good Clam Chowder! How can they even serve this? They have 2 sizes a small for $8.60 and a medium for $9, only a .40 cent difference, which I found odd! Ok, it wasn't all bad! My Partner enjoyed her Fish (Haddock) and Chips and I my usual Combo of Scallops and Haddock! Most of everything that we've ordered, in the past, at Petey's, has always been good but if you go, do yourself a favor and skip the the disappointing Onion Rings and Clam Chowder and you'll save $19 bucks off your Tab! It'll probably be our last visit to Petey's ! Not the same as in past years! Time to find another favorite Seafood Spot! Would've given Petey's 4 Stars had it not been for the disappointing Onion Rings and Clam Chowder!...

It's been years since I've been in this place. I can remember coming in here in my 20's to hang out…read morewith friends, drink & play some pool. I was in NH visiting my Mom this past week & wanted to take her out to lunch & she told me she's never been here before. I was shocked! So Paddy's is where I took my Mom to lunch. It wasn't any ordinary lunch date, it was a "surprise we're going on a cruise to Alaska" kinda lunch!! LOL The dining room staff were all FABULOUS in helping me surprise my Mom with this. I had a cake made that told my Mom the plan & it had a cruise ship on it. See my photos. Once we were seated I went back up to the hostess stand & spoke to a young man & told him one of my friend's was going to be dropping off a cake for me & asked if my waitress could bring it out after we ate. I didn't know who my waitress was yet & he told me "no problem." I told him the key phrase to let her know when to bring it out was going to be "can I see a dessert menu." My bestie soon dropped the cake off & there was actually a different person @ the hostess stand when she arrived & they took the cake out back. My guess is the wait staff takes turns greeting & seating customers when not busy?? Our waitress was Marley. She gave excellent service to us. I even gave her way over 20% tip for helping with the cake surprise & her excellent service. We started with the spinach & artichoke dip with chips which came out fast & was hot & very tasty. I was surprised when my Mom told me she has never had this dip before. I'd say she liked it since she was cleaning the last of it out of the bowl....lol Mom had the patty melt which was just a hamburger on bread. She said it was good. I had the grilled BBQ chicken sandwich which was good, chicken was a little dry so thank God I got some mayo & BBQ sauce on the side. We both thought the fries were amazing!!! Seasoned just right. I'd like to hit this place up on a Friday or Saturday night next time I'm in town for some drinks & play some pool. Of course I'd eat here again. Thanks Marley & the dining room staff for helping me with surprising my Mom with a dream trip come true!!!

I lived 7 1/2 years in Louisiana and even worked for 2 1/2 years at the legendary Ralph & Kacoo's, so I have been searching for years for Cajun food as good as I enjoyed back then. I have eaten at every so called Cajun Restaurant in NH, ME, MA, and RI. North of NOLA and Big Mamou in Springfield MA are the only two that could be served in Louisiana . I started if with an Abita Purple Haze (beer). I was worried it might be a little stale, but it was fresh and tasty. My wife had a hard Southern Peach Tea. It was delicious as well. On to the food: We started with a bowl of seafood gumbo. It was very thick, not watery, and had lots of shrimp, crab, crawfish, and okra. 10 of 10 and the hit of the night. I will return just for the gumbo. My wife got the Zydeco Pasta for her meal. Not too spicy and full of flavor. Maybe a tad to much andouille, but 7 of 10. I got the Crawfish Etouffe. A little mild for my taste but delicious. 8 of 10. We also got a Blackened Fish Bites appetizer with our meals. I wish it was catfish, but they used Haddock. It was perfectly spiced and delicious. 8 of 10. Would be 10 of 10 if they used wild caught catfish. For dessert we got Beignets and coffee. The beignets were dreamy. 9 of 10. All in all it was an amazing experience and we will make the drive again soon.
