My bestie came up from Woburn, MA to hang out with me & our other friend & the plan was on Saturday…read morenight to head to The Brook for some drinking & gambling. We had decided since there are a few restaurants here that we were going to have dinner here first. We got greeted right away by the hostess who was busy but acknowledge us & told us "I'll be right with you." (5 stars for this action) which she did. We got seated right away (great job!) This is a small restaurant with a bar inside. It has a nice, classy decor. It was clean & organizer nicely. We were greeted right away by our server Ryan (5 stars) & we shortly placed our drink order. I got a Truly on draft (a favorite of mine), Tammy got an espresso martini that she said was really good (she ended up having a 2nd, me too) & Janet got a Tito's and soda. Drinks came out quickly (kuddos) We placed our food order. I went with the fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and everything was delicious, so delicious that I cleared my plate which is a rare occasion for me because I'm a picky eater & I don't usually finish all of my meals (5 stars for this dish). The girls got the steak tips and they looked horrible. They looked burnt on the outside & not appetizing @ all. Tammy's was way over cooked & too hard to eat so she informed Ryan of this & he offered to have new ones made but she didn't want to wait & was fine eating what came with it. Janet liked her's & didn't' have the same issue. I thought they both looked the same. Burnt, over cooked & not appealing @ all. Janet was jealous of my fried chicken sandwich & wished she had gotten that instead. Ryan was an excellent server & did everything right. (I was a waitress in my 20's). 5 stars for his service & personality. They don't have a bathroom in here but they have a short cut to the one outside of the restaurant. On our way out Tammy & I saw their salt & pepper shakers and found them to be gorgeous. I actually snapped a picture of them & did a Google search & found them on Amazon & already own a pair...thank you! I will defiantly be back here probably for the fried chicken sandwich again. I really wanted a side of Mac & Cheese (they have it as a meal) but unfortunately they don't do sides of it.....bummer! So maybe next trip I will try it. Thanks for a great dinning experience (for myself) & a delicious, just right dinner!

I went on a family visit to Hampton Beach and our dinner out for the trip was The Old Salt. I went…read morewith a party of 7. We had a reservation and we were greeted and seated promptly. Our drink orders were taken right away but after the drink orders service was a little slow. The waitress explained they were short staffed. I take no stars off for this. Short staff is a common issue including my place of business. Our waitress was very friendly and really good with the children in our party. I really liked the variety on the menu. There were affordable options with some higher priced dinners. There was an option for everyone in our party. I had the stuffed haddock covered with a seafood stew. I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to seafood stuffing so I was a little hesitant to try it but OH BOY am I glad I did. The stuffing and stew were amazing! No leftovers for me. The rest of our party had various options off the menu and all of us were please with our meals. I highly recommend The Old Salt. A nice ambience. Friendly service. Great food. We'll be back on our next Hampton Beach vacation.

I crunched on at least five of them. It's very disconcerting. The latest trend in New Hampshire lately is charging you to use your credit card well, I use my credit card all the time and I'm not gonna pay you extra for any inconvenience. That's ridiculous. What an incentive !wont be back to your place. I don't carry cash so you won't see me there . you are the loser now somebody somewhere will take my credit card and not charge me extra as I already pay finance charge. I don't need an extra charge from you. Thanks though. Good luck. not bad overall .

Cynthia's opened recently in East Hampstead in the former Commodore Grill space at the Commodore…read morePlaza off NH 121A near NH 111. This casual family owned and operated restaurant cafe serves up breakfast all day and lunch. The place was redone with a brighter and an inviting atmosphere with booths along the walls and in front, table seating in the center and counter seating in the dining area. There are patriotic prints on the walls and checkered floors remain. I've picked up Lebanese and Italian food from the previous restaurant in this space and it's bittersweet seeing a small town breakfast and lunch spot open up in its place. There are a few other options in this area, but spread out. I decided to stop by here for breakfast before work. I got here just before 6:30 and sat myself in a booth which had menus to look at. The breakfast menu offerings include breakfast platters, 3 egg omelettes, pancakes, French toast, Belgian waffles, breakfast burritos, Tony The Tiger (frosted flakes French toast), hash (canned and homemade (soon)) and breakfast sides. The lunch menu offerings include fried appetizers, hand cut fries, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, soup, chili, salads, comfort dishes, and daily specials. The prices seem fair, most meals $8 to $15 range (in 2024). After I was seated, the server came over and offered a drink and I requested an ice water since I already had coffee beforehand. They did not have homemade hash yet, so I eventually decided to go with the Steak Bomb Omelette ($13.50 plus tax) with choice of toast (I chose sourdough) and one side (I got home fries). My food was served in about 8 minutes after ordering. There was a good amount of hot food on my plate. The omelette was filled with grilled shaved steak, green peppers, onions, mushrooms & cheese (I chose cheddar) with a folded thin egg sheet. This omelette was pretty good. The home fries were fresh cut potatoes (cube cut) lightly grilled and seasoned, which were potatoey and with the skins. The sour dough toast was firm and had minimal butter. The server dropped off the check as I was almost done eating, no rush. The check was $14.65 with tax and before tip. Overall, this is a good place stop for food and I plan to stop by for lunch next time since I saw they had chicken tenders, reubens, monte cristos, mac & cheese, and spaghetti & meatballs (Wednesdays). The friendly staff knew people by name as they stopped in for breakfast. The service for weekday breakfast was prompt and I was able to make to work on time. It is noted they are closed on Sundays (at the time of this posting).

Th roll was so hard I couldn't…read moreeven bite into it ,even tried cutting with a steak knife..My guess on how the roll could get that hard is perhaps they micro waved the roll to soften and when it cooled it got hard.

From the check. ...lesson learned ! send it back next time..no manager came to check and no real concern from waiter..I'll not go back I don't like being put in such an awkward position..no excuse for serving that stale roll.

About a two minute walk from the main strip... It's very small on the inside. We came mid-April for…read morelunch on a Saturday and was surprised how busy it was. I can only imagine how packed this place gets during the summer. Anyways, service was great. Both bartenders were friendly and one offered a marker + tape so we could hang our dollar bill on the ceiling. As for the food... IMO it wasn't up to par with the Manchester location but still good. The nacho appetizer was disappointing as the pulled pork on top was lukewarm and there was hardly cheese/toppings under the top layer. My BLT and fiancés burger were both good. Fries perfectly crispy. This is probably one of the better (if not the best) place to have a meal at Hampton Beach.
