First time trying this spot as it was chosen for a group social. The event was held in the…read morebasement, so I did not get a good chance to see what the main dining room looked like. Pretty nice beer menu with lots of local options, as well as some that are brewed in house. The menu was pub/comfort food, with some interesting large plates as well. Whenever I see a pretzel on the menu, I have to order. While it was good, it was not at all what I typically get in a bar. I was served 3 smallish, pale and crunchy pretzels with a trio of sauces. The sauces were all interesting, but I would have preferred a standard large brown soft pretzel. I did try the fish tacos which were tasty, albeit a bit small for the $7.50 cost per taco. They are served a la carte. The waitress at the bar handled the crowd very efficiently and food came from the kitchen promptly. This spot is a bit off my radar, but I likely will return to explore the menu further.

Vibe was great with decent crowd keeping it lovely, staff very attentive quickly given a high top to order the steak and cheese eggs rolls Which were delicious as I awaited the deep dish.

The nachos were melted on the top but that was it. The cheese bellow the top layer was just shredded so nothing stuck to the tortilla chips. Nothing to put them on our list of great nachos. The calzone was mediocre at best the sauce was bland. The Epping location has not disappointed us. My mocktail was yummy and my husband's Arnold Palmer was great! Service was ok...the table was not clean despite having placesettings on it. We watched other tables empty and never get wiped but were reset for the next customer.

Located in an historic storefront and waterfront building, the Sea Dog has a classic seacoast vibe. Part of a New England chain I would love to further explore, this location is considered a "go to" for lunch or drinks. I am told the outside dining area is awesome. It was cold and snow-covered, so I could only look out the windows. Naturally, I got a burger and fries, which was phenomenal. The service was quick and friendly. Since it was my sister's treat, I didn't notice the prices. I MUST return when the weather is nice, so we can dine outside!

The menu is standard pub fare, and about what we expected. Friends enjoyed their meal, sandwiches and burgers were nice. I tried a french onion soup which was really average, as well as the bar pretzel (which turned out to be pretzel bites). I felt nothing exceeded my expectations. That said, overall a good choice when in Exeter.

I have only one complaint. Our waitress was nice but she brought the wrong ice cream flavor and when I told her straight-up "he won't eat chocolate ice cream," she gave us dead eyes and walked away. I think she just didn't have training. But she brought the wrong flavor and didn't make it right. So a point off for lack of basic wait-staff training. Other than that, a great casual place.

I have a lot of food allergies and they give me so many options. Most things can be made gluten free! The gf buns are delicious. They recently had a menu change and I was sad to lose the gf pizza because it was darn tasty, but the burgers, gyros sandwich and black bean burger is exceptional. I may eat the black bean burger forever. For allergy and celiac people, note that everything fried is cooked in the same fryer so it is contaminated but they have other options for sides such as cole slaw, potato salad and a side salad.

This is probably the worst review I've ever had to write, so I'll start with the positives…read more My mother-in-law and I had the scallops on a brioche bun, and my wife had the Cobb salad. The food was very good and fairly priced. Unfortunately, that's where the good experience ended. Upon arrival, our server, Joe, brought over three glasses of water without any greeting or acknowledgment - just dropped them on the table and walked away. No "hello," no "welcome." When he returned to take our order, he seemed rushed and walked away before we could even finish giving our drink order. He only took my mother-in-law's drink order. When I asked about wine options, he handed me a cocktail menu and walked off again without asking my wife what she wanted. She had to call after him just to place her order. Things didn't improve. After waiting 10-15 minutes with no follow-up, my wife had to go to the bar herself to order my drink. It took multiple attempts to get his attention, and when she finally did, he barely acknowledged her - no eye contact, just a dismissive "yeah, OK." Our food was eventually delivered by someone else, who was pleasant. However, Joe never once returned to check on us. No follow-up on the meal, no offer for refills, nothing. We had to track him down just to get the check. I ultimately went up myself to ask for the bill and even asked if we had done something to upset him. He blamed it on being busy and a shift change, which didn't make sense. The restaurant was only about a quarter full, with plenty of open seating. Shift change also doesn't explain being completely absent for nearly an hour. To make matters worse, he didn't even bring the receipt back rather another server did. This was our first visit, and it will likely be our last. There are far too many great dining options in Portsmouth to accept this level of service. In 63 years, this is the first time I've ever chosen not to leave a tip.
