We went to the top level and sat in the outdoor roof patio. The server was so nice. She came by regularly to check on us and was great with the two kids with us. We got a ton of fried food (clams, haddock, scallops), Mac and cheese, calamari & coconut shrimp, mango blended margaritas. All of the food and drinks were delish! Highly recommend this place. read more

Visited on a beautiful beach day and was seated upon arrival on the third floor patio. The seating offered great views. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We had smoothies and lunch. We enjoyed our smoothies--I had mango and my friend said the pina colada one exceeded her expectations. For lunch we had wraps. I had the chicken salad wrap, which was tasty and had just the right amount of mayo on it (i.e., was not dripping!). read more

I got the Caprese Salad which was perfection just the right amount of everything but the Ahi tuna salad was a bit skimpy and boring as there was just the dressing, lettuce, cherry tomatoes and the tuna but it was delicious regardless but more toppings would have made it even better. Would definately go again read more

We just came from the Sea Ketch, and I want to give a shout out to our waitress, Jamie. She was very upbeat and friendly. It is our favorite place on the beach and Jamie made that much better read more

We had a wonderful experience at Sea Ketch tonight. The drinks were tasty and the bacon wrapped chicken app exceeded expectations. Crispy and delicious. My choice of scallops, shrimp and lobster Alfredo was the best meal I've ever had while visiting Hampton every year with an amazing amount of seafood. Tender, large scallops, big chunks of lobster and lobster claws, along with many large shrimp mixed into a delicious creamy Alfredo. Other dinners of Whole clams and fish and chips were big hits too. I am only sorry that I didn't take pictures for you! Yum! read more

Really good food and fast service! Was really nice sitting near the beach at night, waitress was friendly! We got there past 9 and told us no dinner menu only appetizers but it was still good! read more

Have been coming to the sea ketch for over 10 years. Tonight My wife was served a rum runner that the juice was spoiled. She sent it back and ordered a basic margarita instead . Imagine our surprise when the bill arrived and the charged me $14 for a basic margarita. When We challenged the waiter he said welcome to the beach. read more

Great music tonight, and the chicken tenders are also delicious. I don't recommend the caprese appetizer because there was too much olive oil. Service wasn't the best. Our stuff was brought quickly but grabbing the attention of our server was a little tricky. Over all pretty good. read more

Almost ended up paying for our table and another tables food because of an error on the waiters. The food was meh, it was typical bar food. Don't think I will be back in the future read more

Took our daughter and two grandchildren here today. Had lunch on the roof. View was amazing as was the food. Clam chowder, Buffalo chicken tenders. Rangoons, Mozzarella sticks. Olivia was our amazing server. What a great job! The host was so kind. Definitely worth going here 5 stars because Olivia was right on the ball bringing drinks, water ,napkins etc. Also the boy who brought our food! We really appreciate great service! Thank you Donna read more

Just finished up my dinner at the sea ketchup on the deck. Great atmosphere and even better food! Ben was our server and he was amazing, was such a chatty, down to earth guy and he was there when we needed him. The live music was great and the drinks were tasty too! 10/10 read more

Looked for a place that had a happy hour, great view, and live music. Found it. Check the place out. Did not get a chance to eat, but the one man band was good And the service was excellent. Their happy hour is on select drinks and not everything on the beverage list. read more

16.00 for a frozen burger patty that I had to pay 1.00 to add. Cheese. Fried seafood was bland with no seasoning. The only thing that saved the experience was the service. I am not aware if management changed. Years prior my family and I have dined here. Never had a bad experience up until this year. I was shocked that a burger had a cheese add on fee. Very strange! Especially a frozen dried out patty.The ambiance and music was great. Food no so. read more

One of the better options on the boardwalk! I've been here a few times over the years while visiting Hampton Beach and have always enjoyed my fresh seafood meal. On my most recent visit, I came here for dinner with my girlfriends. We ordered the lobster rangoon to start. The rangoons themselves were probably the smallest rangoons I've ever seen. I didn't care for them as there was an ingredient in them (maybe an herb of some kind) that I didn't like but my friends enjoyed them. For my meal, I ordered the fish & chips. It came with plenty of large pieces of fish, fried perfectly. The tartar sauce really stood out to me. Very tangy and more flavorful than your average tartar sauce - I loved it! Even the fries were the "good kind" that are crispy out the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. This place is always packed but I'd say it's worth the wait in comparison to other places on the boardwalk. read more

Lobster was good. Shrimp scampi was good. Went on Saturday night of Labor Day weekend so there was a long wait. Waiter was very good.

We came here for "a snack" and ended up splitting a colossal lobster roll with 10oz of lobster meat and sweet potato fries. If you want a meaty roll, this is it. When I think of lobster rolls, this is what comes to mind. I must say that although I appreciate the roll's natural lobster taste, I wish they dressed the meat a little more. Not a lot, just add a bit of salt and lemon juice. Honorable mention to the fries though. Extra crispy and thick, almost steak fries-like. Excellent staff though. Everyone that worked at the bar looked like they truly loved their jobs and were incredibly friendly. read more

We ordered the clam platter the clams were made fresh to order and fries were crispy. Staff nice and clean place. Will definitely be back

I have had many good meals at the Sea Ketch, but the Steamers today were the worst I have ever had. I am not sure what happened, but they smelled bad and tasted terrible. Perhaps it is early in the season, and they are not yet on their A game, but was a really disappointing experience. read more

I've eaten here a few times. Views are great. Food is Meh at best. Prices high, paying for the view.

Sea Ketch Take Out is located at street level under the popular Sea Ketch Restaurant. It's a great quick place to stop for fry dough and ice cream treats plus subs, grinders, hot dogs, steak & cheese, fries, pizza, cold drinks, and smoothies. The prices (in 2009) here are fair including fry dough($3.33-$3.62), subs/grinders ($5.95-$7.50), cheese/pepperoni slices ($2.32-$2.55), before tax. 14 toppings for the Fry Dough are offered here including powdered sugar, cinnamon & sugar, sauce & cheese, chocolate, maple syrup & walnut, apple cinnamon, honey, strawberries & cream, and lemon. I like my dough with cinnamon & sugar and butter, a nice hot sweet treat to enjoy while taking a break from the beach or strolling through the crowds along Ocean Blvd. NOTE: No credit or debit cards read more

This is a review for takeout. We went on a Saturday and there was a huge line for the restaurant, so we decided to get takeout instead and eat at the tables on the street level. I got the $8.99 haddock sandwich that came with nothing else. No fries, no tarter sauce. Just the bun, fish, a little bit of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Such a disappointment. We also got the $16.99 fried haddock bites platter which was the same cost as the 10 ounce haddock bites on the board. The fish had no seasoning and was bland, but the fries were good. I don't plan on returning and will try another place on the boardwalk the next time we return to Hampton Beach. read more

We had dinner last night on the 4th floor with Amy as our server. She delivers my drink and notices about 8 fruit flies in it. She tells me that's too many bugs and she'll get me a new one. Great! Before she leaves the table my son commented that his drink too had several bugs floating in it. She told him his was FINE. 2-3 bugs is perfectly acceptable!! She would not replace it because it didn't have too many with just three. Never have I ever heard such absurdity in my life! Never! Bugs ok, so long as they are under Amy's threshold for them. Mind blown. If this is how your restaurant operates, the board of health should take notice. Yuck! read more

Unfortunately, I was forced to leave a one star instead of zero. I will say that the live music was nice, but that's about it. I ordered the fried clam basket and it was the start of my nights downfall. About 45 minutes after eating I was feeling nauseas. About 2 hours later I was full on throwing up which lasted well into the night. I will spare the readers from my horrific take on the drive home which took 50% longer than anticipated. This is by far the worst case of food poisoning that I've had in my lifetime, I'm 34. Management, please clean out your kitchen and educate your staff to not cook or serve spoiled food. I was close to being admitted into the hospital. Do not make the same mistake again; spare your patrons from the hell I endured last night. read more

Food is fresh and hot. Service is friendly and professional. Prices are reasonable for the area. We came once in the off season and had the same experience. Fried fish is lightly coated and crispy. Fries are great . Chicken tenders are also delicious. I highly recommend this place when you are at the beach. read more

I had a great time here on my visit to Hampton Beach. The food was excellent, and drinks were good. We had friendly service. It's a very fun atmosphere with multiple floors of places to sit, both inside and outside. read more

My boyfriend and I went here on our first night at Hampton Beach. We had an early lunch elsewhere but still got a little hungry later on, the Sea Ketch was right on the way back to our hotel. We ordered a burger, fries and mozzarella sticks and everything was extremely good! Fries were super crunchy, the burger was delicious and had red onions which was great; the mozzie sticks were good too. We loved getting it to go and being able to eat dinner on our balcony together. Definitely your basics with burgers fries and chicken, but if you like that this is a great place read more

The second day the waitress/bartender recommended so many different ways to try the food with dipping sauces etc. the calamari, chowder, buffalo tenders, and lobster roll were amazing! Definitely would recommend 10/10! Thank you sea ketch!!!! We will be back read more

The view on any of the 4 floors is worth the higher cost of what you'll pay for the food. I've never had to wait to be seated here (not even during the pandemic). For starters, I suggest the half order of nachos as they are huge!!! I ordered the clam strips and fries. I felt as if I was ripped off on the clams a little bit, as I wouldn't call it a healthy portion for $30. Fries are good and crispy on the outside. Drinks are also strong. I will always be back as this is one of the better places on the beach. read more

I've been here several times... But it had been way over a year since my last visit. If you are looking for a view and able to climb the 2 stairways this is a great place for it. I suppose it's a trade off because the drinks are pricey and quite weak. The food in my opinion is, " take bag out of freezer - open bag- dump in fryer" Heat and serve. That's about it. The first table a group of us tried to sit at had obviously not been properly cleaned -it had an odiferous sticky top. So we moved .. by our 3rd table we gave up and broke out our own wipes to clean it. It was semi busy and we just wanted to start off with drinks. Our server seemed like he didn't want to be there and we were bothering him. I ordered a gin lime Rickey with splash of raspberry .. others Mai Tais and sangria. Actually my drink wasn't bad but loaded with way too much ice and if there was any alcohol absolutely no taste of it. 2 dining companions had seafood chowder, another some sort of fried basket ..due to my allergy I refrained from anything but fries and that was pushing it. What can I say : it's after Labor Day at Hampton Beach... a later of the day. No entertainment at that time and our server for whatever reason didn't want to be there and made it obvious, the food was terrible ( nothing new) . But then there's the panoramic view with the sun going down read more

Ordered a 5oz lobster roll from their take-out counter. It was solid - I've had better, but it was a good lobster roll. Good mix of claw and tail meat. Service was timely too, great for a quick bite on the beach. read more

We went there before Joe Perry and had a wonderful meal . I had the swordfish and my wife had scallops.Service and the food were perfect ..

I never had a chance with the service in this place. The waiters made so many mistakes and caused delays in every time we visit. The view of the Atlantic Ocean is great and it is a wonderful place to enjoy the sunset time if the weather is permitting. The food is mediocre, but acceptable. read more

Beautiful view and great service. Went after a show at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. Had about a 20 minute wait for the bar on the third floor and wound up getting a seat right next to the window. So the ocean view was beautiful with some random fireworks as a bonus. Most of the apps weren't available, but we we able to snag the seafood spring rolls. The dipping sauce was very good! I had the ahi tuna salad-the tuna was very good and an ample portion-but I wouldn't call it a salad because it was just on top of greens with 4 cherry tomatoes. My husband had the lobster roll and upgraded to the sweet potato fries upon our server, Kevin's recommendation and we were glad we upgraded because they were very good! Crunchy outside-whereas often sweet potato fries tend to be soggy. The lobster roll was a good amount as well. We each had a mojito, I had classic and my husband had pineapple. Both were fresh and tasty-and nice to know they aren't made with a mix. Did not like all the plastic that was used-from the drinkware, to the utensils to the plates. So much plastic. I had to think about the plastic pollution problem we are having as I'm staring into the ocean. Basic fare, but over the top service-Kevin alone was five star. read more
