    Captains platter
    Erin S.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this lovely establishment, we have tried to eat here in the height of their season and decided to wait for the right moment where it wasn't as busy. Today was a gloomy Saturday evening still early in the season and we were able to walk in and sit at the bar immediately. We really enjoyed our bartender whose name I didn't catch but she was lovely and attentive. The new bar back staff was also super accommodating and kind. The food was delicious, we ordered the steamers and captains platter. My only request would be a tad more seasoning on the captains platter but it was nothing a little lemon salt and pepper couldn't fix. Our bartender had a couple of beautiful French braids in her hair it's the only way I could identify her to you, but she was amazing. We will back again when the season winds down as locals.

    Ok. Ok so...it's not easy to find, and that is ok. Here is why the seafood is top notch. Living in AZ isn't great for seafood and those trips to San Diego can help. But this is local style seafood and it's excellent. The lobster is fresh (obviously) the clams here are different than I've had but the wait staff helped show this whole lobster rookie the how to. Kids meals are great priced ($6-7) if you got a non seafood eater my wife had the burger it was great. The bang bang shrimp was done really well. But the lobster stole the show. So good. Last but not least the waitstaff was fantastic!

    Fish n chips

    If I could only eat at one place for the rest of my life, it would probably be this place. At least today it would be. Those bleu cheese mussels are crazy good and the fish and chips and fish tacos are fantastic too. The server staff are great and super friendly. Perfect water views while you eat, and it's right by the beach. It's a must if you're in the area. New Hampshire's got it going on, and this is a hidden gem. To me at least.

    Clam chowder

    The clam chowder was very thin, not much to it. Service and atmosphere were good being right on the water but the manager was a bit rude about my age and being there alone on a Wednesday afternoon.

    Amazing!!! Arrived on a Saturday around 4:40om. Went tonthe bar while we waited on for a table. Table was ready jast as our beera were served. Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale with a cinnamon sugar rim was refreshing!! Claim chowder was creamy and just... delicious! First time eating lobster pie! There was a nice portion of chunks of lobster meat! If you do not eat it fast enough the crackers taste more mushy than crunchy ... a matter of preference. Husband ordered a steamed lobster.. yummy! Zucchini Squash veggies were cooked perfectly! Tasty seasoning and not mushy! Baked potato was a little small but at the end of the meal I was glad as the meal filled me up! Loved the food, the beer, the price and the service!

    two glasses of drink on a bar

    Stopped in June 28 for lunch after a morning at Hampton Beach. Sat at the bar and got 2 Caesar salads 1 with lobster and the other with salmon. The head of romaine is cut in half and laid on the plate in a V drizzled with dressing and Parmesan cheese. Really nice presentation and absolutely delicious we both said it was the best we've ever had. Also served with garlic bread like you've never The bartender who was fantastic puréed fresh watermelon, my wife had hers with grey goose mine with hornitos silver. Incredible and refreshing on a 93 degree day.

    Blueberry lemonade.

    They've got two of the best bartenders in New Hampshire, hands down. The vibe here is casual,…read morefriendly, and perfect for catching a game--there are TVs everywhere, so you won't miss a thing. The food is seriously impressive. The fish tacos are fantastic, and somehow they're offering a $9.99 lobster roll, which is hard to beat. Everything I've tried has been delicious. Drinks are just as good--$2 draft beers are always on special, which makes it even better. And yes--free popcorn! It's always a nice touch and makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. What really stands out, though, is the service. The staff checks in often without being overbearing, making sure you have everything you need. It genuinely feels like one of those places "where everybody knows your name." If you're looking for great food, solid drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere (plus free popcorn!), this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Bobby and Paula

    Holy crap! This place is not such a gem. I ordered fried scallops and haddock and thought where it…read morewas at the beach it would somewhat decent. NO...............What I got was frozen fish and wet scallops. Disgusting. They really should disclose they serve frozen food. The baked potato tasted like it was baked yesterday. Daughters steak tips tasted OK...at least they had some flavor. This is the kind of place that I had high hopes for but were let down and I would never return. I can do better going to Market Basket and buying some of the frozen seafood dinners and making them at home.

    We've been going to Browns since my dad decided he liked to BHOB 10 years ago. I'm nostalgic for…read moreMarkey's but Browns does have good food, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the cafeteria-style seating is very casual and inviting. I will say their clam chowder is frankly bad... but they do most everything else really well.

    Brown's Lobster Pound looks exactly like the classic roadside New England lobster shack you…read morepictured planning your vacation: rustic building, nautical décor, open picnic tables, friendly locals manning the order windows. That visual is the high point. Sadly, it appears what was once a local favorite has become a tourist trap. My wife and I ordered lobster bisque, the haddock-and-shrimp plate, a fried clam plate, and two drinks. I was a little surprised when the total came back just over $80, but figured good food and an authentic lobster-shack experience would make it worthwhile. The moment they called our number and I picked up the tray, it was immediately clear that average would be a stretch goal for this meal. The onion rings were poorly breaded and undercooked. The fried clams were overbreaded and barely adequate. The lobster bisque tasted more like boiled shells than lobster, which may explain the complete absence of actual meat in the bisque. The coleslaw tasted straight out of a Sysco bag--ironically the least disappointing part of the meal. If you're a tourist just trying to check "roadside lobster shack" off the list, Brown's might scrape by. If you want real New England seafood, keep driving.
