Great food, service and drinks. Live entertainment outside. Always enjoyable and fun at Smuttynose.

Service is great. So much fun loved the band. Friends and family are also dog friendly. Food is good

This evening was my 2nd time here after coming last week for the first time. The food was great, the atmosphere was spot on. We were excited to try out for our first time as a family during Covid. We enjoyed it so much, we came back. We joined the waitlist at 5:30 and the wait time was 1:55. After last week, waiting an additional 1/2 so we anticipated doing the same this evening. When we arrived we were 6th in the list. We still anticipated sitting down by at least 8:15. At 8:25 we were concerned that we he kitchen would close. We asked the hostess, and she indicated that the kitchen closed at 8:30..... Here are my concerns: The website nor yelp (I looked and looked) and did not see anywhere that the kitchen closed at 8:30. My daughter is an asst manager for an well known restaurant in Waltham, and she said that the kitchen closes after the last party seated has ordered. If that is the case, then it should be indicated or a warning given when your estimated seating time approaches the kitchen closing time. The other issue is that the GM (as indicated by hostess) "doesn't believe in time restrictions". In this challenge time, people are excited to be out of the house and enjoying some time out, totally understandable. It is not inappropriate to indicate to your patrons that you need to adhere to time limits - even 2 hours is more than acceptable. We finally decided to leave at 8:30 knowing that we would not be able to order. read more

The food here was excellent, bar staff was friendly. I was slightly disappointed to have a reservation which told me I had no one in line in front of me, get notified our table was ready, to come in and be told we had to wait as no table was open. We waited 5-10 mins and were asked if we wanted to sit at the bar. Overall a great experience and I would recommend. read more

If you haven't been here in the last year - IT'S TIME FOR A TRIP BACK. This place has grown into it's true potential with new ownership and management! Best new place to spend fun summer nights on one of the coolest brew pub set ups since San Diego. Menu: EXTREMELY creative with something for quite literally everyone with the most delicious, fresh taste and presentation. Some of my absolute favorites - garlic parm naked chicken wings, BRUSSELS SPROUTS!!, and the Smash Burgers - the best thing to hit gastropub fare and Smuttynose Restaurant patrons for years to come. Atmosphere: laid back, relaxed New Hampshire-brewed perfection with high tops downstairs at the bar level and a dining room up. The outdoor area is a New England summer paradise with an architecturally-scaped rock stage for fantastic live entertainment and complete with Smuttynose' iconic silver trailer on-site adding retro charm and great service to the broad outdoor seating area. Misc. Awesome Facts: Pups are welcome in the brew house and gift shop area. While not permitted inside the actual restaurant, pets [and their thirsty, hungry humans] are treated to "Snouts Out Sunday's" out on the expansive patio and yard. Every Sunday, four-legged friends can enjoy the band (and an occasional treat!) alongside their two-legged fam. Water bowls and great pints provided. Must check out? The reggae nights and the new seasonal summer - or the Chupa Mexican stout for the adventurous beer lover! I'm gonna reiterate: just about anything on that crafty, fresh menu but. SMASH BURGERS ARE WHERE IT'S AT. And The Poke Tuna Bowl. Or perhaps bourbon soaked fried pickle backs. Yeah, that's a thing. And you should try it. Can't wait to visit again! Great restaurant, vibe, and all-around community-elevator right here! read more

amazing , absolutely love the atmosphere, the food and drinks. incredible band was playing outside. just the whole vibe was amazing

I came here after work during the trivia Wednesday evening. It was really fun!! The food was good. My favorite is shrimp cocktail. I love the atmosphere here and koko's trivia night. read more

I was with my wife on Sunday night and the chicken tenders were the best food we have ever had , highly recommended

Had the pleasure of eating here two times this fall. Food was great. Beer was outstanding. Loved being able to sit outdoors. read more

Restaurant at Smuttynose - Enjoying a flight of beer - New American Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Wow wow wow! I couldn't wait to write this review so it was being drafted while I was still here. I didn't know what to expect from a restaurant owned by a beer brewing company but they did not miss a beat. The menu is small but packs a punch. After careful review of the menu I opted for an item on the specials menu (puerto rican roast pork) and I made the right choice. The pork was flavored and cooked to perfection, and the beans were just as tatsy. I could have easily eaten the large portion but I wanted to save room for dessert. After getting the rest of my meal to go I opted for the stout cake for dessert. Yuuuuumy!!! It was so moist and the frosting was to die for!! The service received from the staff was outstanding and our waitress Elizabeth made perfect recommendations. She advised us to download the Adored app for a half off discount for the beer flight. From the service to the food this place is outstanding and I can't wait to return to try everything else on the menu! read more

Awesome outdoor beer garden. Great food better beer. Atmosphere is fun for all. Good time

We did not get food - just drinks and dessert as we got here late. Lovely atmosphere with live music and kids having fun, dancing. Would fully recommend for parents with young kids looking to have a stress free place to eat/drink. We need more kid dog and adult inclusive places like this! read more

Looking forward to going back to the Hayseed Restaurant! Food and ambiance were outstanding! Beautiful remodel job done inside this old farmhouse that once stood on the lot where the new Smuttynose brewery is now situated. No big deal, merely lift and shift across the parking lot. Not a huge space, though there's a nice long bar and there was a big group in the center of the room, with smaller tables along the outer wall. There is an upper level. Not sure if it will become additional restaurant space, but with the expansion plans the brewery has in mind, the restaurant will need more room to accommodate larger numbers of patrons coming in future. And as one other reviewer mentioned, they will need more than the two single person restrooms. But for our day, it wasn't too busy. Helped that it was a Monday afternoon. Menu is changed seasonally and is based on a farm-to-table philosophy, working with local suppliers as much as possible. We opted to start with the beer battered onion rings. Batter was light, as was the beer flavor. House made condiments were yummy. I loved the chili aioli (more sweet than spicy). My friend was gaga for the Old Brown Dog Ale mustard. We asked our server if it was available for sale. Not yet, but they're looking at doing that. Hopefully by Christmas. He loved the Sturdy Burger with beef from a farm in Maine and beer-soaked cheese. My Portobello Dip was lovely. Lots of meaty mushrooms. No room for dessert because portions were pretty substantial. Service was great, though had a bit of a wait for coffee and the check. Not worth deducting any points. We received vouchers for a free beer on our next visit as we left. I don't need that for enticement, since I don't drink, but I'm sure I can find someone to come with me who will make good use of them! read more

Honestly just really poorly managed and staffed. I love their beer but I've had two experiences coming up from DC to visit where I waited 3.5 hours (putting my name well in advance on a waitlist) to not be seated. System should be more transparent and better managed, and unfortunately had an incredibly snarky hostess who made comments about us never getting g seated when we tried to wait for our table so we ended up leaving. read more

Unfortunately Smuttynose Brewery is not allowed to serve pints at the physical brewery, just the tasting. SO, if you're looking to actually have a pint while visiting, this is your only option. We walked in after our tasting and sat at the bar. Great service and a truly spectacular selection. They DON'T have all the beers on draft at the brewery, but they have a LOT more then the brewery has (including their own brews and a couple of guests as well). Try to snag a free small pour at the brewery next door. Can't vouch for the food, but it's an inviting space! read more

Great food, awesome drinks, AMAZING service. Live music was so fun, food was really tasty, and the selection of beers, wines, and sangrias way diverse. Great for large parties or couples looking for a casual date. The waitlist feature was flawless!! We only waited for 5 minutes read more

We were really impressed by everything we ordered! Loved the beer cheese spread which came with very thick hearty homemade sesame crackers (appetizer). I got the soup special - chilled Korean cucumber, refreshing and quite spicy. My wife got the chicken sandwich and chose the beer cheese option. Chicken sandwiches can often be bland but this was quite tasty, maybe due to the cheese, garlic aioli, guacamole, or the tasty potato roll. Instead of fries she chose the 5 bean salad, and even that was something out of the ordinary! Not only that but the iced tea was great! And the server didn't complain when we requested to change our app selection after she'd already given it to the kitchen. We plan to come back within the week and bring friends! And that's even without mentioning the great beer from the Smuttynose Brewery. read more

How many nice things can I say about this place? We came in at a slow time and we sat and waited about 10 mins at our table for a waitress. She arrived, apologized profusely and bought us a round of drinks. That my friends is customer service!!!! Food was fabulous! Then my daughter decided to leave her purse behind, when we noticed it an HOUR down the road, we called, they had found it and locked it up. We retrieved it just as we had left it. If Yelp had six stars I'd award them! GREAT PLACE ALL AROUND!! read more

Originally my friend and I just went for the $3 pint of beer after our tour, but decided to get an appetizer of onion rings. The bartender was very friendly and nice who helped us with our order, the full appetizer for the onion rings came in a very large quantity and recommended we have the side instead because it's smaller but still enough for my friend and I to share. He was so right! We had the perfect amount and it was inexpensive for what we ordered, I had such a great experience I will definitely recommend to a friend and return! read more

Restaurant at Smuttynose - New American Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Delicious. Happy hour was great! Had the Nachos , chicken tenders and IPA beer ! All great.

I love the food at this restaurant! The flavors were amazing and everything was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend it!

This is the first meal I've had outside my kitchen in lord knows how long, and I'm so happy it was here. The patio, check in, bathroom (COVID procedures) were flawless in my opinion. It was easy to social distance and also enjoy a night out. I felt safer here than at Market Basket for what it's worth. Best of all Smuttynose is extremely dog friendly. All the staff made our dog feel super welcome and comfortable. There were several other well behaved dogs too. The vibe is incredible with fire pits and really good live music. The food hit the spot with a great selection of classics and unique items. Since we've been quarantined we went with buffalo tenders, fish n chips and a burger. I don't regret that decision at all. Everything came out perfectly and I didn't have to do a single dish. Their beer is clearly delicious, and there are tons of choices that you can't get anywhere else. I especially enjoyed their hazy New England IPA's. If you like beer, food, music and dogs you'll love Smuttynose read more

Food was fantastic , huge portions, and drink options are awesome. Nice easy stop from the highway for a quick lunch break. Highly recommend. read more

Great food and patio is awesome with 3 fires outside and a stage for a band. Many tables with umbrellas and the trailer bar was so cool. Reggae music playing on the speakers and they make a great Moscow Mule! read more

Fun atmosphere and the food is great. Great waitstaff too and decent prices. Very good beer. I had a Wheat Wine Ale and one of their new releases, which were great. My wide and I ordered burgers, both great. I have to knock a star off for running out of barbecue by 7pm. We got the last plate of nachos with brisket instead of pulled pork and I can see why they sell out. (This should seriously be a menu option, btw) If it's this popular I hope they can find a way to increase capacity. Definitely going to go back in a few months. read more

Went for the first time on Sunday. My fiance actually works on their vehicles. Not sure why we waited so long to go. The atmosphere was great, awesome service, the staff was pleasurable, and accommodating. Food was quick, and delicious. I got the Common Man micro beer, it was fabulous. I think this is my new local favorite restaurant. read more

First let me say, it is SO GREAT to get out of the house to enjoy a meal and feel a little bit of normalcy. We've been to the restaurant twice now during the new coronavirus restrictions & have been so impressed with their ability to make all the patrons feel comfortable and their set up is great. The patio is perfect for social distancing, the food and beer was awesome & the staff is amazing. Masks are worn by all staff, patrons have to wear them when away from their table, menus are single use, and all tables and chairs are sanitized between guests. Great people, awesome food, excellent beer & super dog friendly - the perfect recipe for a fun afternoon. Shout out to Liz for always bringing our pup a water bowl & giving him some love. read more

This place looked so great for a sit-down outdoor dining experience. Thank you to the handsome take out guy. Took home a 12 pack of their variety beers such a bargain. The brunch burger was amazing, I'd say skip the buffalo chicken sandwich it wasn't all that. Tater tots were amazing just a tad salty. read more

Came up today 6/6 and joined the wait list at 530 to get a table, I know in our "new covid world" things can become a bit tricky, but at 830 we were still not sat and the kitchen had closed for food. Terrible service, the idiotic general manager should begin to put wait times on the tables to accommodate everyone. Susan is really sweet and the general manager should be the one out there turning people away not making her look like the bad one. Very disappointed. read more

The beer is superb. The food is excellent. The staff is fantastic. The location can not be beat ! read more

Great experience! We sat outside and there was live music. Food was delicious and had a cute bar area for wait staff to get drinks, that looked like a retro camper. read more

Bri is the best! Always great food and the atmosphere is incredible. Meg was our server and was absolutely delightful. As always the beer is fantastic! read more

The food and beer were great. The service was certainly acceptable when considering that a family reunion dumped a whole lot of people into their upper facility and then even more than expected showed up. As usual, I found fault with the acoustics. Too many people, all surfaces were wood and there was absolutely no fabric or panels to dampen the cacophony. If operators only knew how much a simple cloth tablecloth improves the sound levels and the tendency for people to hang around and order more desserts--a super high-profit item, they would probably be more willing to spend the money. It appeared that the customers downstairs were having a better environment. With less people, less noise. read more

Pros: Good and friendly service, a diverse beer list (although they are going through a transition in ownership and beers are average to above average), the bison burger I got was really good. Although I ordered it medium and received it well done it was definitely tasty. Cons: Only meat they had for dinner was pork. No brisket or anything else. Wasn't a big deal for us but they may run out by dinner time which is odd. Salad was literally lettuce on a plate. Well dressed but not visually appealing. Wouldn't hurt to add tomatoes or some other vegetable. Although the name is "green salad." Black bean burger was pretty dry. Kids ordered pulled pork and the pork was more like chopped than pulled. Huge chunks of pork with charred ends that tasted like the charcoal soaked in lighter fluid that cooked it. read more

My boyfriend and I went in for a bite to eat and a few drinks and left with a great experience. Thank you!

Great outdoor area. Beers are amazing. The food was amazing. Burgers are so fresh and juicy and steak tips, delicious

The food and atmosphere was great! Everything was served hot and was delicious! We were disappointed in the wait time and the confusion about how long wait times would be. Totally understandable under the COVID-19 circumstances around social distancing, but still some confusion and a long wait. Disappointed that the disc golf wasn't up and running to help with the wait times. Live music was great and the beer is always delicious! read more

Went yesterday for drinks for my friends birthday. Lots of outside seating, great vibes. Was outdoor live music which was nice. We sat in the woods and enjoyed. Staff polite and followed covid protocols read more

Delicious and looks like a fun place to relax with friends. We got pick up. It was delicious and quick turnaround. I'm excited to try eating out on the patio when they have live music. read more

The general manager reached out to me offering to compensate for my bad experience, and to come back and try again, which I thought was super admirable and kind. I came back a week ago and had a MUCH better time. My boyfriend ordered the Truffalo Mac n Cheese with pulled pork and a beer, and I had the fish and chips with a strawberry lime mule (so so so so much better, the flavors make so much sense). We were able to sit downstairs, and the ambiance was 100% better. The waiter was really funny and super attentive, I don't remember his name but he gets like 20 gold stars. We had a lovely evening this time! read more
