It is the kind of dish that easily stands out on the menu, and I would confidently order it on every visit. The beer selection on tap was also impressive, with Maine Lunch being a particular highlight. It was a great complement to the food and reflected a well-curated draft list that beer enthusiasts will appreciate. Equally notable was the welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, contributing to an overall experience that felt relaxed and enjoyable. Combined with the inviting vibe of the space, Hen House leaves a strong impression. I look forward to returning again soon.

I had a hard time finding out how to get through the bookcase at first (it was actually pretty pathetic watching me try lol) but finally found the handle.

I love this place and will absolutely be back.

Yooooooo!!!!! This place is LEGENDARY!!!!!…read moreI have been going here for sooooooo long! Funny story about tonight.....Someone bumped into me, and I spilled some beer on some Dude's pants. He must have been very upset because he called me a "faggot", and his lady said "I remember my 1st beer". However, she may have forgotten about every other beer that she has had. lol. I wanted to tell her "Man" to grow some balls, but he waited until I was out-of-range to call me a "faggot", so I already knew that he was a coward. I fucking love this place though! The fact that I feel comfortable with someone having a "problem" with me, and calling me a "faggot", and being able to giggle about it, means that I will be back at this place for the rest of my life! Love y'all!!!!!

Poorly executed food and service overshadow a spectacular venue. It's clear that there's a…read moremanagement and training problem at this Newburyport waterfront restaurant. It took way too long to receive our burger and chicken tenders. It's because they were sitting for so long and the burger was not even warm. It had absolutely no flavor. It was advertised as caramelized, onions, Swiss cheese and grilled mushrooms. I only realized now that I received red onions. It was such a disappointment, but I was hungry. It was only remarkable in how remarkably tasteless it was. The service was just abysmal. It was Sunday afternoon around 1pm - 8/16. We had to flag our server down and she was not even friendly. She never said thank you when she handed our receipt. We received our cold meal and we had no utensils or napkins. It took us some time to flag down someone. We had to ask for ketchup and there were no other condiments. It was just terrible. I could not believe the 2.6 rating. It is very believable now. This is just poor management. The location and the restaurant are simply beautiful. It's a large bar with TVs that have the Red Sox on. A very good live singer entertained. The views of the harbor are wonderful. It did not make up for the gaps. I hope someone invests the time and leadership to elevate this experience.

Fantastic selection of alcohol complete with an always evolving cocktail menu worthy of some the world's greatest bars. (And yes, I've been to plenty!) Service always friendly. Locals appreciated.

Cocktail Lovers, this must be the place!…read more Calling all cocktail lovers, make Exeter Apothecary your next place to visit. Located right above the beautiful Vino E Vivo restaurant (see prior review), it's the new HIT spot in Exeter. Only about 20 minutes or so from Portsmouth but a fun spot for cocktails, wine and dessert. Ambiance is chill with comfy bar seats, side tables and bartenders that can shake, sitr and whip up almost any cocktail to your liking. We did share their Amaro Flip which was fabulous. I know we will be back for sure since they offer small plates and decadent desserts too. Cheers~

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!

Ribs had a nice smoke ring, a bit salty for my tastes, but still an excellent cook on the ribs Mac and cheese was great, I wanted a multi cheese taste... add a parm cheese to it... still excellent cook on the Mac and cheese Beans very good, I like a bit more molasses, with few chunks briskets ... excellent however Corn bread on dry side...needs improvement Only one option for bbq ...
