    It was very accommodating to a large group. The menu is pretty easy to understand and the staff was helpful and friendly. They even let us bring a cake.

    I have been going to this location for a few years. My initial impression was not great. Inconsistent service, slow to bring check or come back and check on the table. However I discovered the secret, I befriended one of the servers and started requesting them because of their excellent service! Since then it has been a pleasure to go on a weekly basis. The place is relaxed and provides all you need to make a mess whilst enjoying the delicious seafood boil. They even have an AYCE option, which is a bargain given the options of snow crab, scallops and clams are included. The spice options are great for those moments when you're looking for something spicy or just something classic like lemon pepper or plain old garlic butter. Food is consistently excellent and the AYCE option lets you keep ordering platters of food to try a bit of everything, including the fried rice and fried appetizers. This is my one of my favorite places and I will continue to visit for my weekly fix for the foreseeable future.

    They do 90 minutes of All-You-Can-Eat on Mondays through Thursdays for just $49 and you can basically order anything. The food was fresh and the house sauce is decent. Service was slow due to the lack of employees but our server was very kind and accommodating.

    The seafood was very fresh! And the sauce was delicious. You can tell it is definitely a popular place. YUM I just recommend they clean the inside of their restaurant. The windows and silverware was outdated / dirty

    Sunday Special

    I was really craving seafood boil and was excited to try this place - I believe it was called Happy Crab before - not sure if it just changed management or names. We got the Sunday special which had shrimp, lobster, snow crab, and mussels, and we added King Crab. We got the shaking special sauce and hot - it wasn't hot so if you want spicy go with the max spice value. The flavor itself was okay, I felt like it was under seasoned even though it looks very that. It came with potatoes, corn, and sausage. I also got it with a side of rice which was kind of dry, but at least the sauce made it better. I felt bad because there were only 2 waitresses for the entire packed restaurant, so the service was slow but understandable. What wasn't understandable was they didn't have tap water so I had to pay for a water bottle. I've never had this before, not sure what protocol is in NH, but I thought you always had to give free water. Overall, this place was okay, it does the trick when you're craving seafood boil in the Merrimack Valley, but I've definitely had better. I think their weekly specials are definitely a good deal though so try it out and see for yourself!

    Service is good. Food was pretty good. First time actually trying a seafood boil. Had the shrimp and crab legs with the potatoes and corn with all the seasonings and medium heat. Lots of flavor. Just found it a little difficult to crack through the crab legs and get all that crab meat but overall a good experience. Need to practice more on those crab legs lol.

    I got start with, I googled seafood near me, and this popped up. It was empty, unassuming. However it had hood reviews. Menu for non alcoholic beverages, states Fiji water as an option. However she brought Aquafina. I was a little irked, because I felt it was a bait/switch. I declined. After figuring out a beverage option, everything else went smoothly. I opted for shrimp and scallops. DELICIOUS is an understatement. I opted for the "shaking special" option of spices, the house way I think it was labeled. Level 3 spice. It was the most delicious meal I had in 15 days of visiting. Outside of the water glitch, I'd eat here again and again, when visiting.

    Thursday special!

    I have no idea why people are giving this place 1 star. We came by yesterday (3 kids 2 adults) and the food and service were great! Not only did they help us out the kids but they also added garlic butter to our order after the fact. We had the Thursday special with the happy crab or shaking special sauce. Super good and the seafood was perfectly fresh. I live in Boston so the prices and quality here really cannot be beat. The meal would easily cost double in the city. Well worth a visit and the current reviews are not doing this place any justice.

    Fantastic! The reviews are accurate. Small place with a small town vibe. I came late (6:30) on a…read moreMonday evening to avoid any potential local crowd. There was only one other couple in the place. Several orders were picked up for takeout in my time there. I naturally tried the clam chowder. Very good. Nice and thick. A very generous portion of fish and chips was served along with coleslaw. The fish was in bite sized nuggets which make them easy to eat. The fish was fresh and tasty with a great complement of tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Coleslaw was on point. Steak fries were decent. This was night 3 of my 12 night stay for work. I will definitely come back to try the lobster roll.

    Man, what a hole in the wall! I wanted some good old-fashioned New England clam chowder while I was…read morehere, and I searched and found this place. It wasn't much to look at, and the air conditioning was spotty on this exceptionally hot day, but I wanted a pint of New England clam chowder and by gosh. That's what I got! Not to mention a small shrimp cocktail - my only demerit was the shrimp cocktail was sitting in a bucket of ice. The bottom half was in the ice, which was good, but the top half was roasting away in the extraordinarily hot interior of the restaurant! I decided to take a chance and ordered that too. You know, it wasn't something special to look at. But? The taste? The clam chowder was epic! The shrimp cocktail wasn't too bad, but the shrimp were a little limp - the cocktail sauce was pretty good though. So was I impressed? Well, after having grown up in Seattle with great clam chowder? I think this clam chowder stood up very well to what I had as a child. But was it so special that I would come back? Maybe not - but damn it hit the right spot!

    Grassfields reminded me, in a nostalgic way, of a restaurant at which I worked in my college years…read more The decor, the ambiance, the wine list, the service, and the menu items, all contributed toward that. I suppose "rustic" would be a good term to describe the interior. The menu offers steaks at prices you'd have a difficult time finding elsewhere in the area, plus chicken, lamb, veal, and interesting specials. Our large group was seated over two tables, which worked well for us in terms of quality conversation among interested folks. Service was quick, friendly, and professional, and all our dinners came out at the same time. We ordered a few appetizers. They were good but a little inconsistent. The mozzarella sticks, homemade, were a little unconventional, with a panko-mozzarella crust. Better, in my opinion, were the buffalo chicken tenders. I mis-read the description of my Argentine Bowl, thinking it was more of a salad. It was steak tips, avocado, tomatoes, and black beans over rice, quite tasty. The person sitting next to me ordered a dinner special the lamb shank osso bucco. While the meat was delicious and tender, it could have had even more seasoning on it, and there was an unexpected amount of fat on the shank. Parking is a little awkward given the shape of the shopping center, and the location of the restaurant. It was nice to see signs designating spaces closest to the restaurant reserved for their customers. This restaurant was the go-to restaurant for the family hosting the dinner event. I can understand why, and I wholeheartedly agree.

    Food was good as always, we have eaten here many times in the past…read more The service was not good at all, the waitress seem distracted and slow, especially when we asked for the check, it took her like 10 minutes to bring it. Ambiance good as always.
