Great food, fast service, and reasonable prices based on the area…read more It does not look like much when walking up and seeing a couple of young people at the counter, but I am glad that I did not "judge a book by the cover." The staff were polite, helpful, and attentive to my needs and questions. The whole belly clams were excellent, as wads the haddock. The fries were some of the best I have eaten in years. Great for a couple. May be pricy for a large family.

We brought our families here hoping to get some quick seafood after a day at the beach. It has a…read morelaid back vibe, exactly what you would expect from a casual seafood joint. We were seated quickly and our server was very friendly. We ordered drinks and appetizers while I sent my allergy card back to the kitchen to see if they could accommodate me. The appetizers were delicious and the frozen daiquiri I got was decent enough, though not terribly strong. But then our server came back and said that the kitchen couldn't make me *anything.* They claimed they were worried about cross contamination issues. Which I completely understand, but seriously? Nothing at all? I have been served bland chicken and water poached fish at other restaurants but this is only the second time in my life that I have been told that the kitchen couldn't make me anything at all. It's hard to imagine the state of their kitchen where they are concerned about cross contamination of literally all of their ingredients. The other alternative is that they were simply unwilling to accommodate my allergies, neither of which bodes well for other people with allergies or food restrictions. (My husband would like to apologize again to our waitress for his outburst. We recognize that she was merely the messenger.)

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 want to preface with the fact that I love Rays in Rye. I had never been to this location but…read moreassumed it would be of the same caliber and it was. Curiosity killed the cat and I got the chowder with lobster which was severely underwhelming but the real reason I came was for their amazing popcorn shrimp. I have been all over and I don't know if it's nostalgia or they're actually 100% amazing but THEY ARE 100% amazing. I will never not love Ray's popcorn shrimp. Thank you for being you.

Ray's Seafood and Chowder Shack was such an unassuming spot to offer such well prepared dishes…read more I've always associated seafood shacks with quick service and fried foods with simple flavors. Never would I have thought that such a spot could win me over so completely in just one visit. The place was clean, decor simple, colors bright and happy, and the staff bubbly at the counter and actually excited as people entered the establishment. A few locals were ahead of me and were greeted fondly as they ordered their mainstays. While I browsed the menu, the cook/chef actually came to the front and chatted me up, answering just about all the questions I had about the menu. He genuinely displayed excitement about the ingredients and explained his methods in great detail, which as someone in the culinary world can truly appreciate. After starting my order in the kitchen, he actually came back out to my table to double check if I wanted my food to come out together as well as if I had any other preferences to spice levels. He really showed me true hospitality that I have once again never associated with a seafood shack. But the best part? The food itself tasted sublime...blew my mind in the moment at how something this simple when prepared with care could be this good. First, the oil wasn't old and overused like most shacks I've been too. The fried fish and clams basket tasted clean and highlighted the ingredient as a result, which further showcased just how fresh it was. The lobster topped clam chowder (the "fluffy" being warmed lobster in butter) was tonguegasmic. The onion rings were perfectly moist and crispy. And the shrimp? Perfectly seasoned. Even the side sauces were done so well. There were no shortcuts made here today and that was obvious. I'm salivating as I finish writing this review and can't wait to drive back up again soon to visit them again! Definitely recommend this spot any day!

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.

But I was disappointed in my hopes. The menu was fine but also not terribly interesting. Just regular American. And I'd come for something more than that. So ... 3/5 experience for me. When I try it in the evening perhaps my take will alter. Service was a bit slow but it was also quite busy so perhaps understandable.
