Clams and Scallops weren't that great. Oysters weren't fresh. Burger was passable but really needed a sauce. Good fries, though.

If you're looking for fine dining, this is not the place. If you're looking for a great bar with fabulous people and spectacular bartenders, this is absolutely the place! I found myself hanging around at the beach alone for a few days. Stumbled into this place to just check it out cuz it looks like a bunch of happy people. It actually was a bunch of happy people. This place is fun. It's warm. And it's extremely welcoming. I can highly recommend a visit to JB's. read more

I had an incredible experience on hampton beach today the bartender knew sign language and was just the best the food was priced well but the service was over the top thank u jennifah read more

Actually 3.5 stars. Seafood was very fresh: we had the fried full belly clams, shrimp, and scallop plates. Too many fries and cold slaw not great. Place is noisy and a bit greasy. Can recommend the seafood if you have a hankering for fried. read more

Only place in Hampton that we went to twice. First time, for the cleanest steamers I ever had. Second time for twin Lobsters, about a pound apiece, with corn on the cob, for $ 22-. read more

Stopped by earlier tonight and ordered some food to go. I was amazed by how affordable all of the prices were for seafood that was right along the beach. It was basically half the price of going to Markey's or Brown's. I got a lobster roll with some fries and a box of fried whole clams. The lobster roll was on a toasted hot dog bun and barely filled with any lobster... it was a pretty dry lobster roll. Basically plain shredded lobster on bread with no mayo or anything mixed into it. It was then tossed into a container half filled with fries. It didn't even fill the whole container. Same thing with my "box" of fried clams. It came in one of those little hamburger-sized containers and the box was only HALF filled with fried clams... it maybe had like 7-8 pieces? When eating the fried clams, the whole clam (with belly and all) basically disintegrated in my mouth immediately-- there was no chew or anything to it. A clear sign that the clams had been frozen prior and just reheated. As if I could have bought a package of frozen fried clams at the store and made them myself in the microwave. Nothing here was fresh and the portions were tiny. Maybe good if you're looking for a quick, cheap fix for seafood, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. read more

Went to the seafood festival today and walked over to JB's. The outside bar was crazy busy and Allie and Chris were outstanding. They went above and beyond. Didn't eat there but the service and music were fantastic. Will certainly be back read more

Unfortunately this place has gone down the drain. I originally gave it five reviews because the seafood was fresh and delicious! But went back recently and ordered the lobster with clams and the lobster was rotten in the middle. Such a disappointment. read more

Decent place with decent prices. Very average in a good way. Simple place to pop in and grab a quick meal. Clean and staff looked like they were having fun. FYI Calamari only served in rings. read more

Great experience at JB's. Met one of the owners, very friendly and helpful - wishing them the best of luck! Menu prices can't be beat for fresh seadood and happy hour deals on drinks are awseome!! read more

Jb's Seafood - Good selection of local beers!! - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

I only need 1 word to justify my one star. And that word is Margarine. Yes, that nasty oily fake butter substance. That is what the served me with my lobster. WTF?!?! Who does that? That's not a thing. It's like giving a Vermonter table syrup with their pancakes. I took one nasty bite and spit it out. I knew immediately it wasn't butter. When I went up to the counter I asked what it was and the worker said butter. I asked again, they said butter. Then I said it tastes like oil, WHAT is it? Then they said oh, sorry it's margarine. They offered to give me real butter, brought it out when my lobster was basically cold and then I broke the tail off and a huge amount of purple black gel came pouring out of it and unpacked it up and left. Nasty. read more

Giving this place 2 stars solely on how cheap the drinks are. But this place is the definition of beach trash. The food is so sad and sure it's cheap but you're still paying way too much for nasty seafood that taste like someone went dumpster diving for it. Not only is it way more worth it to head to browns but there's still even better seafood on the boardwalk itself. Skip this place read more

Delicious lobster rolls and burgers. The French fries are really good compared to other restaurants. It was easy to order at the counter to go. Would definitely recommend. read more

Food was fast, hot and delicious! Priced well. I got a scallop roll that was bursting with plenty of hot, golden fried, huge scallops.

Claim bellies had brown liquid oozing out of one of the whole belly claim just disgusting

Cute place and nice people. But boy oh boy is this food BLAND. Did I order cardboard? Maybe, we'll never know. Cheers!

Enjoyed our dinner here, the clam strip roll was great and the grilled cheese one of the better ones for the kids. Has a fast food feel to it but prices were reasonable for good food. read more

Site of the former McDonald's serves good seafood at beach prices. Order the scallops and clams combo with fries and a drink at the counter and Sat in the side bar area and the food only took a few minutes. Scallops were big and fresh and the clams tasty as well. Nice casual place where you can get a drink off at the side bar as well. read more

Wide selection of seafood with reasonable pricing right on the beach. Casual diner atmosphere, friendly and efficient counter service. Fried clams (whole and strips), creamy New England chowder, gorgeous lobster roll along with TRIPLE lobster special. Small bar but loads of fun, again with reasonable prices and $2 beers! Best in the area - don't miss this one. read more

Great prices for a quick basket of seafood and fries!!! Friendly and knowledgeable ladies at the counter !! I recommend JB's for a great lunch on the strip!! read more

They gave a lot but quality wise was not good. I ordered a lobster roll and the lobster was very dry.

Leslie at the bar is great. She customized your drink based on what you like. She added watermelon picker to my spike seltzer. They have $3 beers. Their lobster is delicious. Go to JBs and sit at the bar - drink and eat their lobster. We will come back. . I might be a little bit drunk, but it's all true. Do me a favor and Ignore the other reviews. It's supposed to be a shack. Get beignets read more

So I had shared a lobster roll from this place (I only ate 1/2) & fries. The lobster meat seemed off. Not the high quality you would expect from a $20 lobster roll. I wasn't sure if it was all 100% lobster or imitation that's sometimes used since lobster is so pricey. I had severe food poisoning from this meal that lasted 8 days. I was out of work for many days. read more

New place but Great prices for seafood and the food is pretty good. The staff are lovely and the food comes out fast. Overall nice place.

Went there last night for the first time. Two of us got the fish and chips while another had the lobster roll. The lobster roll had 2 sizes, small and large, he opted for the large, 1lb for $19. It was just lobster on a hotdog roll, no mayonnaise and fries. It was ok, nothing outstanding. The fish and chips were $10, it came with small chunks of white fish and fries. I'd say they had about 6 pcs of fish, about half the size of a golf ball and a handful of fries. I've definitely had bigger portions and better fish. Would I go back? Maybe, but maybe it's still a learning curve because they're still new. read more

Stopped and had supper there on 07/17/17. The Restaurant was originally a McDonald's that turned into JB' Seafood. We had a 15% coupon from the place we were staying. The seafood was fair but the portions were small. There is no atmosphere and lacked service that is noted at other places in the area. read more

Awful on so many levels. My hot lobster roll was so dry I am not sure when it was cooked or how long it was in a holding pan. When the soda did not work (no co2) I asked if they could change it the attitude I got was off the charts. I think Hampton Beach would have been served by keeping the Golden Arches. High hopes ... dashed. read more

Actually this place is actually better than it looks. Had a variety of seafood and burgers. You could order at the window or from the bar on the side. Food was fresh good and hot. The prices were reasonable. Compared to the other restaurants a at the beach it was cheap. The bar offers $3.00 beers all day every day and they had a good selection to choose from. The mixed drinks were also probably the cheapest as well and they were good size and not skimpy. The bartenders were welcoming and friendly and treated you like you were a regular. This place will definitely be a stop every time we go to Hampton. read more

Place is the cleaniest looking joint on ocean boulevard. I like the scalops and haddock. Theres a bar on the side. You order it fast food style with the screens on top with te prices and the 3 registers ready to take your order. I just wish they were somewhere else on the beach. This was a McDonalds. First of its kind on the whole UNITED STATES EAST COAST. they closed it down in 2017. the 50 year old restaurant opened in 1977 and it was on the books as the oldest mcds on a boardwalk. Not anymore. That makes me sad. Historic things should be kept. Also dont know why mcds corp would put it up for sale since it sould thousands of orders daily on summer time. I wish people would stop their hate on mcdonalds and walmart and etc, hardworking people need those places to eat you know. Sorry JB youre my new favorite place but you couldnt have picked a worst location. should have went to that little jacks old location, prime spot down the beach with plenty of parking just sitting there rotting around. read more

Due to limited reviews, I was skeptical about trying it but, I did. You can still feel the old McDonald's when you walk inside. Still set up pretty much the same as Micky D's was. Ordered the Haddock sandwich with fries and a salad topped with lobster. The salad was huge and the fish was twice the size of the bun. Overall it was a positive experience. I will definitely be trying it again before summer is over... read more

See all

Had dinner there7-2 .. 3 meals fries were cold and hard.. fish nuggets cold burger ok but cold and hard .... hot dog for child cold and hard. Very disappointed... will not return!!! read more

Bartenders Anne and erin are so kind!! Definitely recommend. Will be back and the $3 beers are dope!

Very pleased with my experience at JBs. Food was ready quickly and very tasty. Reasonable pricing and staff was friendly. My girlfriend and I both got the lobster roll, definitely recommend the heated up lobster roll. read more

First time going and will definitely go back! Very neat to have a "fast food" style seafood restaurant. Very polite staff and clean area to eat. Ordered the clam chowder and fried clam strips which were very good! Also have non-seafood items. read more

Price are ok. It's fried food. Do not expect more or less. I think this is a ok place. The waitress was not really patient. I had to explain the menu in French for some people with me and she seems a bit impatient. Well tho nothing to make me regrets my time there. Ok food ok price if you want a fast reasonable price for a nice seafood shack. read more

Excellent seafood offerings at a reasonable price. The whole fried clams were perfect with no grit and excellent flavor. Food came quickly and there was more than enough. The Haddock nuggets were nicely cooked. Firm and flaky. Girls at the counter were pleasant. read more

The inexpensive beer ($3 each, all day) tempted me at lunchtime July 2. I stayed for lunch and ordered the whole-belly fried clam plate. Was served quite quick and was pleased with the amount of clams, their large size, no grit, and cooked just right. The french fries were freshly fried, hot, and filled the plate. (I would have preferred fewer fries and some coleslaw, my only criticism.) Will definitely go back for another meal! read more

Very good fried scallops, fish and calmari! Prices reasonable for a tourist area, with decent portions. Coleslaw is also surprisingly good.

Lobster roll on buttered toasted roll was outrageous. Top item on the menu bar none. Easy to grab and go and eat on the beach

Not impressed. Waitstaff couldn't have been any ruder. When my daughter asked for no tomatoes on her sandwich she was asked by the waitress, "can't you just pick them off". The only positive side of this is the location. Right across from the water and in front of the water slide. Otherwise, i would say, never again read more
