They've got two of the best bartenders in New Hampshire, hands down. The vibe here is casual,…read morefriendly, and perfect for catching a game--there are TVs everywhere, so you won't miss a thing. The food is seriously impressive. The fish tacos are fantastic, and somehow they're offering a $9.99 lobster roll, which is hard to beat. Everything I've tried has been delicious. Drinks are just as good--$2 draft beers are always on special, which makes it even better. And yes--free popcorn! It's always a nice touch and makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. What really stands out, though, is the service. The staff checks in often without being overbearing, making sure you have everything you need. It genuinely feels like one of those places "where everybody knows your name." If you're looking for great food, solid drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere (plus free popcorn!), this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Bobby and Paula

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.

The bartender/waitress (Erin) was excellent and she thought of everything. It's a traditional pub with sports memorabilia and TVs. Wouldn't expect a GF restaurant to feel like a sports bar, it's really the best of both worlds. We will definitely be back.

We've gone by this spot for years and finally had a chance to stop by for lunch, and glad we did…read more While everybody raves about the fried clams, we were in the mood for fried lobster and ordered that plate. While some reviews complain about the lady who takes the order, we had a pleasant experience! The little slip of paper warns that it could take time for the order to arrive, and it did! A solid 20 minutes but it was worth the wait. The fried lobster was sweet and cooked perfectly. I see why others rave about the onion rings. Delicious, not greasy and right up there with some of the best I've ever had. While the fries were good, they were not exceptional. Cole slaw solid. Overall a darn good plate and as good, if not better than some of the other nearby spots. Short season for these folks, and hours subject to change. Always check before making a trip over.

I've tried a variety of food from apps to sandwiches to entrees and it was ALL delicious! Not to mention, the service was on point (I never like to have an empty beer).

It's always nice when there is live music to listen to as well and the fire pits are a nice touch. I'll definitely be back!

After eating a bit of both, I discovered three slimy and disintegrating, rotten cucumbers in my salad. I was so grossed out that I didn't feel I could eat the mediocre crab cakes (I had taken a couple bites). I sent the food back and shared the experience with the server. She cleared my food and alerted the manager. The manager came to the table, clearly angry and asked me what it was I wanted. She refused to comp the crab cakes, only removing the salad from our bill. I likely wouldn't have left this review if the situation was handled appropriately but rotten food plus poor customer service made it feel necessary. We would not go back.

We were pleasantly surprised with Point Break on a recent visit with friends. When I think dining…read moreon Hampton Beach, my mind turns to pizza and fried dough. This was a nice changeup with casual comfort food. Think pizza, burgers and the like. The dining room is nice, open air out front with outside tables, a big bar and a fun surfer/beach theme. The hostess first tried to bring us to the far back corner of the restaurant and I knew we would not like feeling so isolated from the rest of the diners, so we asked if we could sit elsewhere, and she was quite agreeable. I had my eye on their Mai Tai with a honey foam top, which brought me right back to Hawaii where MonkeyPod restaurant does a similar rendition with a lilikoi foam topping. Point Break served a tasty and potent version. We didn't order apps, but my Mac & Cheese was very good. Seemed that everybody was very happy with their food as well. Fried haddock, pulled pork and a nice salad. Our server was great, and quickly handled one mistake (a full dinner was served instead of a sandwich, and so he brought out the fries which came with the sandwich). Perhaps the only real negative is parking, which is tricky at the south end of Hampton Beach. There is plenty of resident parking nearby, but otherwise you might have to walk a bit to get to a paid parking spot or lot. Give them a try! We don't visit this part of the beach often and rarely for dinner, but we might make an exception to try this spot again.
