We eat here frequently, usually enjoy our visits. Last night however was an experience that was unfortunately very poor. I don't usually review, but this was so bad I need to Hope someone reads this and takes it to heart. We were a table of six. We're seated at the correct time, waited 15 minutes for our waitress to show. When she showed it took another 15 to get drinks. She disappeared for quite awhile, came to take our orders . We asked for water. It never arrived. Our food came out, one order was room temp , it had been sitting for awhile. One stew was watery and bland. My steak sandwich and onion rings were Also cold. She showed after the food was delivered , again asked for water, was told it would right over. Took cocktail orders, and started to eat. 20 minutes went by, still no beverages. So I got up, took a pitcher of water And poured for our table. 10 minutes later cocktails showed up. Still no water or even mention of it. Bill showed right up after cocktails, so we assumed our time was up, we downed the drinks and left. Did not feel like any previous visit, and had left a very disappointed feeling with us. It will take a while for us to come back, if we do. I hope this helps management correct an issue of staff training. read more

Stopped at Kayes Bakery and Cafe. All of the pastries and cakes looked delicious so we'll be back for those and to try the restaurant. Unfortunately we were not happy with the bagels we got toasted and to go. The bagels were ok however they didn't put the butter or cream cheese in them and didn't give us a knife in the bag to do it ourselves.... We wished someone, anyone had told us so we didn't have to do it by hand while driving south. The cafe itself was put together well, gifts you can buy and lots of seating inside and out. read more

Saturday prime rib is amazing $27 "small" (huge) covers entire plate. Au jus for sides. Love their mashed potatoes and butternut squash with a nice Cabernet. Great service by Marianne. Make reservations! Lucky to live near by. read more

Was in for lunch recently. Ordered the steak tips and each piece was cooked to drastically different temperatures. Service was slow and unimpressive. read more

Ordered the filet mignon and a stir fry. The filet must have been a reheat to come out as dry as it was. The stir fry was passable but the chicken could have easily been used to re-sole a shoe. Service was OK but unremarkable. The restaurant is showing its age with perhaps the most uncomfortable chairs since plastic garden torture chairs. Used to be a favorite but needs a re-boot. read more

We waited forever. I ordered the swordfish, my wife ordered the Salmon. Both dishes came ice cold and overcooked. This was our first and last time coming here. read more

First of all, our server Patrick did a lovely job taking care of us. My son ordered the Mac and Cheese (Smoked Gouda, Fontina, and Romano, for the record) and it was the best Mac either of us have eaten, and a very large portion. I had the daily special for which was Swordfish prepared with a Cajun seasoning which was well prepared. Daughter recommended her ravioli, and my husbands Haddock sandwich was also great. Definitely check out their dessert selection, we tried the chocolate mousse cake to take home and it was fantastic! read more

If you see chicken and shrimp Marsala as the ravioli special, please trust me, get it!!!

We hadn't been to The Galley Hatch in a decade. We were glad to see it as we remembered it. There were igloos set up outside, but I don't think they were an option the day we went due to rain. But we were fine with takeout. I had a wonderful California sandwich with a side of very nice potato salad. It was more than I could eat at once and delicious. My husband had a very generous Fried Haddock sandwich and nice, crispy French Fries. He also had leftovers. Service was quick and the order was just as we asked. We will go back when in the area again. read more

The lobster rav special was really tasty. Worth the price. 6 raviolis and a lot of scallops and shrimp with it. Filet was good quality and sides decent. Also got the seafood Newburg which is a go to for my friend, loves it. I previously got the chicken sandwich was not a fan. Too hard to eat, made a mess with the roasted red peppers and aioli and pesto. Service is consistently pretty slow, but fairly friendly. read more

I brought 19 people to this restaurant last Saturday and they were very impressive with service, food, waiter and waitress with great attitudes and always there for what we needed. I usually ask the group if they like the place and all 19 people loved it. That's magic, wouldn't you say? I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and I visit often. There should be more restaurants around that have great service, food and wait staff like this. Kudo's to the staff. I give this an A+ on everything. Keep up the good work. Mary read more

Loved their boiled lobster! Glad to find a local place with fresh seafood. The front desk lady was very nice to introduce the food options and added her own comments read more

I just ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an English muffin and this is what I got. An overcooked mess, to go. I don't know who is doing the cooking here but they really need to figure out how to make breakfast sandwiches. I seriously could have gone to Dunks for something better, sadly. Whatever there was for cheese was melted off almost completely and burnt. The muffin is hard as a rock. Not sure what happened, but I can say the quality is no longer there...AND it's more money ‍‍ read more

I'm at a loss for words. I've been dining here since my wife and I got married 49 years ago. We had our first meal as husband and wife at The Galley Hatch. Needless to say, today's meal will probably be our last. Our server was very pleasant. She promptly took our order, and away she went. We ordered a poutine for an appetizer, my wife ordered a salad and a salmon dinner. I ordered fried scallops, and our friend ordered haddock casserole. After a reasonable amount of time our food came out, all of our food, all at once. The poutine was virtually untouched because it was just some fries, with a huge melted mass of cheese with gravy on top. It was pretty disgusting, compared to all of the poutines I have eaten. My wife couldn't enjoy her salad because she had to concentrate on eating her meal before it got cold. The other two entrees were okay, nothing special. I don't feel like writing anything else, as I'm saddened that one of our favorite seacoast restaurants seems to be in decline. Based on today's visit, three stars seems rather generous. read more

Ordered Thanksgiving dinners and sides .. if I wanted institutional Turkey roll , I would have purchased high quality Turkey at the local deli which is better. The pies were great. This is a hard pass for next year. read more

Food service and ambiance all very good. A bit on the pricey side but definitely the best restaurant in the Hampton area

Fantastic food!? The baked haddock is to die for. They have the best rice pilaf ever. No matter if you sit in the dining area or the bar the atmosphere is great and the service is always excellent. read more

Finally got around to trying this place and it did not disappoint! This place is huge with its own cafe and separate bar! We came here on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy so there was a bit of a wait. We got seated in a filthy part of the restaurant. It was extremely dirty despite the hostess trying to sweep up the floor. Oddly enough directly across from us was a beautiful, clean redone part of the restaurant. Perhaps they are redoing the whole place..? Anyways the food was delicious! My boyfriend got the smaller of the two prime ribs (which was huge) and a seafood pie. I got the chicken romano pasta dish. Everything was delicious and dinner was served with a basket of mixed breads! I do wish the portion of pasta was a bit bigger for the price point but it was still so good. The menu here is huge and I can't wait to try other items! read more

this mac and cheese was incredibly delicious, the bacon bits added a great touch to it as well. the cheese was stringy and delicious. the reason why the mac and cheese is not 5 stars is because of the portion of bread crumbs to pasta, there was a boat load of bread crumbs on the pasta which took away a bit of the taste. also, the ideal pasta shape of mac and cheese for me is shells, since it gets all the toppings without needing to do extra work and the pasta shape here was difficult to get all the toppings with. overall, this mac and cheese is definitely up on my top ten as of now and i recommend trying it. read more

Amazing customer service. Nice and quaint environment. Freshly made Sangria was delish although heavy on the cranberry, it was still delish. I ordered a fish sandwich, it had no seasoning, but it was great quality and it was filling. I would definitely go back and suggest that you my friends, try it if you're ever near Hampton Beach in NH! read more

My daughter and I went recently to celebrate my birthday. Have not been there in years. In the 80's it was a go to place for seafood. It has been in business for over 50 years...time to freshen up the space, in my opinion. Upon entering we were greeted by the hostess, who took us to a booth right in front of door to kitchen...a bit smelly..we then asked for a table. She brought us to a teeney table ( we are not petite woman), stating to us that the larger tables to the right were reserved. mmmm12:30 pm. We were there at least an hour and a half and those tables were never occupied. Hmmmm? The server came over, a very pleasant young lady. We ordered fish and chips to begin with, and a lobster 2lb. $58 stuffed for our entree. We expressly told her in that order. After waiting about 20 minutes for the fish and chips, I asked her to check on it. About 10 minutes later, she came with the fish and said the lobster would be right out. The fish fries onion rings all cold obviously sitting under a light for a while. Grabbed her attention immediately , she stated she brought them right out but she would replace them. Within in a few minutes she bought the lobster, and the redone fish. Unbelievable! The lobster stuffing cold...we told her it was cold but leave it because now it was becoming a problem. We told her make the manager aware! The vegetables.. string bean and carrots ..COLD AND RAW We picked at the lobster decided to take it home to reheat, ate the fries, the fish was gross but no more complaining from us until...we paid the bill $85 cash plus a $20 Tip ( the server simply had no training, not her fault)...and I asked "Did you speak with your manager?". Yes, was the response and I said "Well what did she/he say?" The server said "Oh she apologized." REALLY Please go get her! Well, over to the table, she struts, and proceeded to argue with me that she personally saw the first fish dinner come out hot...REALLY, "Are you accusing us of lying I said?" "WELL I was watching it being cooked." she said...REALLY from the front desk to the kitchen she monitors every meal...WOW.....I did not bother going into the lobster stuffing ( needed more time under the broiler) being cold because obviously she had made her mind up that we were irresponsible customers. Needless to say, we will never be back, not so much about the food preparation issues, but more about a manager who obviously is not interested in training staff and who certainly has NO PEOPLE SKILLS. read more

We had no reservations. The wait was very short. Food was excellent. Service was mediocre. They had an amazing looking bakery we would have loved to try but, we were so full from dinner. If in the area again we would definitely go back! read more

It's not easy to do, but try to leave room for the yummy deserts. From seafood to pasta, it's all delicious!

We made reservations with Open Table. We mentioned that this reservation was to celebrate a birthday. Our food came, but barely warm. I would have had the waitress, Grace, heat the food up a bit, but she never came back to check on us or to see if we wanted more drinks. We finished our meal and saw her several times, but she never came over to our table. We waited a good 20 minutes after finishing our meal before we started waving her down. By the time she came by, we didn't want to have cake anymore to celebrate a 73rd birthday. We feel the food here is overpriced. The inside is very nicely decorated, but the food and service were a disappointment! read more

I went here for Mother's Day with my wife and Mother In Law. We had the clam chowder and crab cakes as appetizers, both were very good. For our entrees, we had the Fishermen's and Seafood platter. These were ok, I thought the clams were a little overcooked. My wife had the fried Haddock sandwich which was very good. All and all, not to bad. Waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

We dined here last night! I called ahead to get a reservation for a party of 10, we were accommodated for 730pm. We got to our table at 745pm due to a group that was there just before us. This was fine as I wouldn't want to be hurried if it was our group (and we weren't, we left at 9:15 and they close at 9). Our waitress was incredibly accommodating, came back multiple times to check on us. Our appetizers were good, the Asian bbq chicken did come a little cooler than expected. The kids meals were good, our meals were good despite one mishap but myself and my mother have worked in restaurants, things happen. I did the custom pasta and I did enjoy the Alfredo, the penne was cooked to my liking and the grilled chicken was tasty. We do come here, or try to come, every time we're in town! All in all, it was another great experience, and will be back again! read more

Ordered two pizza's to go last Friday. Both terrible. The dough did not rise, very hard to chew. Wanted pizza well done not burned. One pizza was missing one of the toppings ordered, other pizza toppings all to one side. No quality control. Brought pizza back to Galley Hatch and spoke to Mgr. Said she would speak to chef and gave me gift card for $30. Guess what? It does not take a great chef to make a decent pizza, just a little effort. Not the first time for bad experience at Galley Hatch. Go somewhere else. It's hit or miss. read more

We usually love the food & the service . It is normally consistently every time . Unfortunately, I have to bring up a recent visit . Angela, a bartender working must have been having a bad night . She was not friendly , nor nice the entire visit . She never smoked once , was never pleasant & acted as if --- she'd rather be any where than working that night . I sure hope this was a fluke night , because I hated to leave a small tip . I used to be in the industry & I tip very well 99% of the time . This service was so poor, it was upsetting at this fine establishment. read more

Love the fried baby shrimp and chowder ! This has been our family restaurant for years !!! The service is always fantastic. It's a great New England theme / experience ! read more

We are all about supporting our local establishments, and can give them the benefit of the doubt for not getting the order right, but not 3 times in a row. The food was not the same as experienced as dining in, which we have done numerous times. Add to this that their prices are not the lowest, unfortunately we will not go back. Go to Hagan's right up the road. Very impressed with our experience with them. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Got the fisherman's platter and marinated steak tips . Drinks were good and service was good. We will be back :)
