The fries tasted like potatoes. The fried clams tasted like fried clams and were predominantly plump. There was no taste of grease/fry oil.

Came here a few weeks back for drinks/lunch while spending the day in Hampton beach…read more Let's break it down: The view: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Drinks: 4-5 stars Food: ehh 3 stars at best Outdoor drinking/dining is always a plus when you're on vacation or in a beach town. This place has a fantastic upstairs patio with tables and a bar style tables which overlook directly onto the boardwalk/beach. The view accompanied by some fruity beach cocktails is all I need to give 4 stars. The food on the other hand is so-so. BF and I opted to share spinach artichoke dip and a lobster salad wrap. The spin-art dip was definitely microwaved and was really thick (like a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream only). The lobster wrap was ok- the lobster was fresh which is the most important thing, but it will set you back $20something dollars. Also our waiter was super nice and efficient, so points for that too. So if you're looking to enjoy some drinks and enjoy the view with a few snacks then this is a good place for you. If your ravenously hungry and want to have a great lunch then I would look elsewhere.

So good and look at those claws! So good and it's as good as it gets!! Great Gift Idea: Although we did not make the purchase, I can't comment on customer service etc. There are simple cooking instructions included. I can say that it is a great gift to receive. Quite a surprise and a great exotic gift for those who don't live on the east coast. The fact that they can make it all the way to Hawaii means that they are shipped quickly and efficiently.

The shrimp cocktail was amazing and if I was so full was going to order more. The prices were great. Now that they are located right in Hampton and I don't have to wait for festival.

damn good oysters!…read more we've been wanting to have oysters lately and im so glad i was able to find this shack! its a small place with limited seating but the oysters are the freshest you can find! we got a dozen and got 4 of each for: Canada, Swell, Massachusetts and Maine. Maine and Swell would be my favorites - like the taste of clean ocean with some sweetness and texture of creamy butter..aaah so good! I think we couldve finished another dozen more lol anyway, had a really delicious "meal" and hope we can drive by this area someday again soon!

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.

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 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.
