I never expect great things from Applebee's, but for a quick late dinner that isn't from a burger drive thru, this can suffice. Not busy on a Tuesday evening so easy to get a table. Why they put us so close to the kitchen when other booths or regular tables were open I don't know. Hubby just had chicken tender platter. Nothing special. I usually like to try something a little less fried, so opted for shrimp broccoli cavatappi, in the new lower calorie category. Our server, Drew, was very nice. When he brought our meals he apologized for the delay. We didn't think it had been that long, but apparently it was. While DH's food was fine, mine had apparently sat for a bit. Minimal sauce to keep the calorie count down so dries out quickly, and sloppy presentation with bits of crusted broccoli scattered around the rim. Guess the microwave wasn't working and not stirred well because some parts were cold and others warm. I only ate half and brought the rest home. Other than being a bit too peppery, it tasted fine, broccoli was nice and crisp. Decent serving of shrimp. No complaints about the extra garlic.

My son and Louisa.

We went here for drinks and really enjoyed our time. Our bartender was great and very attentive. The bar area and bathrooms were very clean.

Stopped in with my 7 year old grandson for a quick dinner. All of the staff were very friendly…read more Lots of seating at the bar or high & low tables. Very family friendly. Teddy had a hot dog & fries off the kids menu with a lemonade. He ate it all. There are about 12 beers on tap. I was happy to have a Maine Beer Co. Lunch. The quesadilla I chose was delicious-it came with sour cream & salsa on the side. No complaints. Plenty of parking in the shared lot. So glad my daughter recommended Tailgate Tavern. Would not hesitate to return.

Honestly, Tailgate Tavern is nothing crazy special, but the food is pretty good in the area. The…read morepretzel bites with the cheese sauce were amazing and definitely the best thing we got. The nachos were alright, not the best I've eaten, but they were fine. Not pictured is the fried chicken salad and that was also fine! Again, everything tasted good, but just wasn't overly special! It's bar food and if you want good bar food, then here you go! They do have a happy hour, but I don't know what's on the menu. Though it's 3-5 pm every day and 3-6 on Thursdays. I think that's pretty good and I'd be interested in coming back to try some more appetizers with a drink! The server was attentive and the food came out quickly. The decor is fun and definitely reminds me of a tailgate! Again, if you want bar food, this is a pretty good option in the Exeter/Stratham area (though I personally don't eat a lot of bar food!).

So friends and I went to Saddle Up Saloon and had no trouble finding parking. Decent sized lot, and…read morethe place sits right next to a pond with a manmade spraying in the middle. Really pretty view, especially if you're looking to sit outside. We ended up at the bar, which was fine since we wanted the full bar experience. The vibe inside leans biker themed with an energetic but laid back atmosphere. TVs at the bar were showing sports and game shows, and even though it was mid afternoon and not super busy, there was a fun mix of people chatting and hanging out. Beer selection was decent, and the bartender recommended the buffalo chicken pizza. It took a little longer than expected to come out, but we didn't mind since we were enjoying our drinks. When it arrived, it was piping hot, cheesy, and flavorful. The buffalo sauce had just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming. My only wish: a bit more chicken on top. We also ordered a basket of fries, which looked like steak fries but were actually nicely crispy and had great texture. Perfect for snacking with drinks. Overall, this is a great casual spot for grabbing a beer and some solid bar food. Next time, I definitely want to sit out on the patio and enjoy that water view. I'll be back!

Went for dinner on a Sunday afternoon. Simply stated TERRIBLE. Probably 8 people in the…read morerestaurant, all at the bar watching the Patriots lose. Ordered the 14oz rib eye. No way it way 14 oz it was about 3/8" thick. More like 8-10 oz. Part of it was red rare (ordered med/well) . Also had an order of chicken parm...chicken was fine, BUT the sauce was like tomatoe paste...which is exatly what it looked and tasted like. The pasta looked like it had ben re-heated. Will NOT go back...recommend you find another good local restaurant...total waste of money for the food. PS: The glasses they served water in were NOT clean...

A great little downtown tavern. It seems like a locals hang out but close to hotels and tourist…read moreattractions. I stopped in on a Friday night for a drink before returning my hotel. The bartender was fast and friendly. The drinks were average prices and they have a late night kitchen. The best part was they had an acoustic duo singing and playing guitar. They sounded great and played fun songs you know but don't typically hear (Pretenders, Don Henley, The Cars, etc). If ever I'm in Portsmouth again, I'll return.

This is still a spot my friend's & I stop in when I'm in town visiting. We came by on 12/26/2025…read more We were hungry!! One friend got the chicken tacos & didn't care for them. I had a small fried chicken finger from another friend's meal & their chicken still isn't the best cut of chicken. It still has a rubbery texture to it & isn't that great. They definitely look better than they taste. I got something new....BBQ pork nachos & even though they don't look very appealing they were sooooo good!! Even my friend's were stealing some from me. Our waitress was new but friendly & good. I didn't catch her name. FINALLY they fixed the ghetto toilet in one of the unisex bathrooms!!! That took many years to do!! No more having to hold the handle down to make it flush & no more electrical gray tape on the tank.....good job guys!!! That took way tooooooo long. It looks much nicer & no longer ghetto looking. We will be back & I will definitely get the BBQ pork nachos again & I LOVE their CC ice cream sandwich!! Soooooo good!
