4 of us had brunch here this morning and were seated along the wall in a booth which was actually a…read moresuper cozy bench (with pillows!) across from two comfy chairs. The hostess brought out a large mason jar of ice water and poured it into these cute little mason jars already on the table (ya know a millennial girl lives her little jars!). Waiter was a delight and had us laughing the whole time. We had coffee, tea, two micheladas and a quite substantial and incredibly delicious pineapple mimosa. They just switched to a new menu so I can't remember the names of everything we ate but it was SO GOOD. I think my husband had island hash with eggs, my dad had frijoles, I had rice and bean tostadas and my mom had a delicious apple cinnamon French toast with bacon and potatoes. Everything was perfectly portioned and really tasty. Such a nice experience! We will definitely be back. Worth the hour drive from both parties for a "meet in the middle" brunch date!

Stumbling onto authentic Caribbean cuisine in coastal Maine wasn't exactly on my Bingo card, but it turned out to be a very welcome surprise. The restaurant is very spacious with a big bar, dark wood exposed ceiling beams, and blue and green accented décor. Their menu is multi-cultural with Asian, Mexican, Burgers and Jamaican influences. Our lunch choices were a cup of Lobster and roasted Corn Chowder ($13) for my wife and a Bowl of Ital Stew ($14) for me. I'm a fan of Jamaican food, and although I've often seen Ital Stew on Jamaican menus, I never tried it and really had no idea what it was. The Blue Mermaid's menu described it as "Lemongrass coconut broth, root vegetables, spinach, black beans, and chickpeas". So that was enough for me to order it. I enjoyed it a lot. The broth had a very distinctive flavor and was loaded with chunks of those vegetables. And I have to mention the very cute touch of fish shaped biscuits that came with our lunches - 1 for the cup of chowder and two for my bowl of stew. Our server, identified on our bill as "PM B" was friendly and very pleasant. The Blue Mermaid seems to be a bit of a social gathering venue, with live music on Bluegrass Sunday Brunch, and supporting charitable initiatives. And they got bonus points from me for hosting a Bob Dylan Appreciation Night on May 28.

This eatery is located at the Seabrook Crossing shopping center, next to Kume. This very popular Southern New Hampshire sandwich/wrap chain serves up a great variety of made to order wraps, subs, flatbreads, homemade potato chips, salads, cookies, brownies, and cold drinks. They also offer online ordering and DoorDash ordering and delivery. After doing some shopping in the area, I stopped in at the Seabrook Wrap City for takeout. I placed my order online via their website and Toast, ordering the Rachel ($12.49 plus tax). My order was boxed and ready to be picked up sitting on the counter when I arrived here, in and out quickly. The Rachel Wrap was filled and wrapped with grilled pastrami, plenty of creamy coleslaw, Russian dressing, Swiss cheese in a toasted wheat wrap. It came with a side of their homemade potato chips. which are crunchy, salted and slightly sweet. Like I have mentioned in my other past reviews of Wrap City, this is a great place for tasty sandwiches and wraps at a fair price.

I've sat @ the bar & have also sat @ a table inside the bar area. The service can be a hit or miss. I've found it to be a little slow the other night when my friend & I were @ the bar. The female bartender's were nice but could be a little more attentive. Last mth my SIL, Mom & I sat @ table in the bar area for lunch & the waitress never came back after serving our food to check on things. They have a room way in the back that my SIL & friend's were playing darts in that was kinda small with all the teams in there, it seemed like its a function room. I wish I had grabbed a piece of confetti cake to go as it looked amazing!! The sink in the ladies room seems to be uneven as the counter collects water from ladies washing their hands & collects on top so be careful not to lean into the counter or your shirt will get wet. The parking lot is kinda small so when its busy it may be hard to find a spot close by.

The service is always fantastic, sunny and quick.

This gas station keeps changing names but Moe's stays inside. It's much easier coming in here then going down town looking for parking & having to pay for parking too. There always seems to be a blonde lady working the counter here, I wonder if she ever gets a day off?? She's very friendly, gets my order right every time & has exceptional customer service skills. I can't say I've ever had to wait long for my sub to be made. They also have subs pre-made in the cooler for you. Usually it's in the open cooler when you first walk in but the beginning of this mth it was in the back. I personally like to order from the counter. They also sell whoopie pies here that are sooooo yummy! My favorite thing to do in the Summertime is grab me a Moe's & head to the beach. Last visit I grabbed one to take down to Logan with me. I had her wrap each 1/2 separately just in case I only wanted to eat one 1/2 @ a time. Well guess what?? It was so yummy & I didn't realize how hungry I was & ate the whole sub while waiting for my plane while it was delayed due to mechanical issues. Sub stayed good after almost 2hrs of being made, wasn't soggy @ all. I like to add Mayo to my original. They also have an awards program too & I will get texts messages randomly with some cool deals but it always seems to happen when I'm not in NH visiting....lol Great thing about this Moe's being located inside the gas station is you have access to a variety of sodas, water, beer, seltzers, chips, sweets & snacks that always pairs well with a Moe's!! Enjoy! Thank you to the blonde lady for always doing a great job!

I can only imagine how packed this place gets during the summer. Anyways, service was great. Both bartenders were friendly and one offered a marker + tape so we could hang our dollar bill on the ceiling. As for the food... IMO it wasn't up to par with the Manchester location but still good. The nacho appetizer was disappointing as the pulled pork on top was lukewarm and there was hardly cheese/toppings under the top layer. My BLT and fiancés burger were both good. Fries perfectly crispy. This is probably one of the better (if not the best) place to have a meal at Hampton Beach.

My friend asked How long have we been waiting for the chowder? and looked at the kitchen to see the chowder and dip dying under the heat lamp.

The crab dip obviously burnt on the edges and lumps of cream cheese. No crab no crab flavor. We had the dip removed from the bill.
