Great place for live lobsters!…read more we stopped by from Portsmouth heading back to NJ and service was great and friendly! small spot but very accommodating and had good selection of good sized lobsters and other seafood. Price was reasonable too. Cooked them when we got home and it was fresh and delicious!

I've been here twice now both times with my Mom. She chose this place a while ago for lunch. I got…read morethe chicken tenders dinner. It was OK but I wasn't a big fan of the brand of dipping sauce that they carry. Onion rings are delicious & I believe that they are homemade. It's an easy process as you go up to the counter to place your food & drink order. Visible menu on display with prices. You pay, get a number and can go inside & seat yourself. They will call out your number & bring your food to your table. On my first visit here staff was attentive and someone had come by to check on how we were doing & asked us if we needed anything. Not on this trip and it was busier on my 1st visit this year. My mom was craving whole belly clams & wanted to come here. We came around 4pm on a Tuesday. I decided I was going to get a lobster roll as I haven't had one on my visit while here in NH and I was ok with paying the crazy price of $29.99 and boy was I disappointed!! The texture of the lobster was odd.....it was soft, smooth & slippery. I've never had a lobster roll where the meat tasted like this before. Maybe it was super fresh? IDK but the lobster was lacking in the taste department. I got it with mayo. There was absolutely no spices/seasonings in it, no celery for that crunch, nothing. It was the worst lobster roll that I've ever had even the mayo didn't have any taste & I had asked for extra mayo. Oh & the bun, what was that?? One side looked like a hot dog roll & the other side looked like the butt end of a loaf of bread. It was barely even toasted on one side if that. Thank God for the onion rings as they were delicious & I knew that as I had them on my first visit. I told my mom how disappointed I was in their lobster roll and only ate 1/2 of it but due to the cost of it I had asked for a container to take the uneaten 1/2 home. I planned on adding some flavor to it with spices & some more mayo. Well the next day I decided I wasn't interested in it and offered it to my mom who gladly accepted. I asked her if she wanted me to put some seasoning in it & she said "no" well she agreed with me that it had NO flavor to it & was just as disappointed as I was. So unfortunately I don't recommend the lobster roll with mayo unless you like it to lack flavor. This last visit no one came to check on us & I saw 4 different girls in the eating area that worked there. My reasons for the 3 stars: 1. Prices 2. No flavor in the lobster roll, no hot dog bun, nor a toasted bun 3. Gross dipping sauce for your chicken tenders 4. Service in the inside seating area is a hit or miss I don't see myself coming back here unless I'm giving my mom a ride for her to get something to eat. She did enjoy her whole belly clams but even those were expensive. I know seafood can be pricey but I feel like their prices are not competitive with other places that serve seafood. This definitely isn't a fancy place so don't expect it to be. Food is served on paper, you get a little package with plastic silverware & a napkin. Staff aren't waiting on you. You get your own drink up at the soda fountain. These things I don't mind. I just expect my food to taste good & be satisfying which my most recent trip it wasn't.

BUT luckily for us they had more lobsters around back. We bought hard shell live lobsters for $9-something per pound and they were roughly 1.4 - 1.6lbs. New shell lobsters are $1/lb less. I saw on their menu that they do meals too with a 24hr notice. Anyway took them home and made some garlic lobster and everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

The shrimp cocktail was amazing and if I was so full was going to order more. The prices were great. Now that they are located right in Hampton and I don't have to wait for festival.

damn good oysters!…read more we've been wanting to have oysters lately and im so glad i was able to find this shack! its a small place with limited seating but the oysters are the freshest you can find! we got a dozen and got 4 of each for: Canada, Swell, Massachusetts and Maine. Maine and Swell would be my favorites - like the taste of clean ocean with some sweetness and texture of creamy butter..aaah so good! I think we couldve finished another dozen more lol anyway, had a really delicious "meal" and hope we can drive by this area someday again soon!

The ambiance is clean, spacious and beautiful. The food-- I can't say enough! The burrata is delicious, tomato mix especially, and the shrimp tacos were the best I've ever had, hands down!!! The crowning achievement was the peaches and cream dessert, which again, was next level. Incredible little gem on Hampton beach, I'm sure to be back again and again!

We experienced a very drawn out and un appetizing lunch Saturday the 29th . Mara served us at the…read morebar and did not anticipate our needs or serve the food timely. We ordered chowder to start then crab dip and fish tacos. My friend asked How long have we been waiting for the chowder? and looked at the kitchen to see the chowder and dip dying under the heat lamp. At some point a server brought all four items at once, nothing was coursed. We had no share plates utensils napkins salt pepper no spoon in the crab dip. The crab dip obviously burnt on the edges and lumps of cream cheese. No crab no crab flavor. We had the dip removed from the bill. The chowder luke warm temperature. 2 drinks 2 chowder and 3 small breaded fish tacos 75$. Also over an hour for what should have been a quick lunch. Don't waste the effort to walk down to PB stay on the main boardwalk and get a proper lunch at SeaKetch!

I visited Markey's Lobster Pool on Sunday after not being there for a couple of years, and I have…read moreto say I was pretty disappointed. This used to be one of my favorite spots. The steamers were actually very good and probably the highlight of the meal, and overall the food quality itself was still decent. The biggest issue was the fried plates. I always remembered Markey's being known for generous portions, but this time the portions were extremely skimpy and honestly pretty surprising for the price point. When you're paying seafood prices, you expect to leave feeling like you actually got a meal. The atmosphere and quality were still good, but for the money there are much better options out there now. Hoping this was just an off day because I remember this place being much better.
