    Clam strip plate

    Stopped for the first time and got the clam strip plate as a throw back to my favorite snack at the ice cream stop I worked at when I was 14. They were- salty, briny, yummy - perfectly crisp and the breading wasn't too heavy. The fries were on point as well, crispy and hot. The basket was overflowing so much so that when I sat them on the passenger seat the car recognized the weight and wanted a seatbelt to be put on... I don't do coleslaw, tartar, or ketchup so I'll have to ask them to hold those next time so they're not wasted but definitely great quality and quantity for the price. Cute, old school spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Food was done quickly, staff was friendly, no complaints. Will be back!

    Menu as of 10.12.25

    10.12.25 Had the half and half plate with belly clams and scallops for $29.42. Definitely some of the best clams and scallops around. Golden brown and not overcooked like I've experienced at other area restaurants. The clam bellies were medium to large and quite good. The scallops were about an inch and a half in diameter. Kind of pricey but seems to be the going rate in New Hampshire.

    Half and half clam belly and scallops 33 bucks. Not to bad

    Back again only had to wait about 10 15 mins the food was absolutely fresh delicious and you can definitely share this. I would recommend sharing the seafood platter that comes with a big piece of haddock, french fries full belly, clams, scallops and five shrimp. I did eat a lot of it, and I took the rest back to my hotel the service is always hot a lot better than most places, the place that make sure tables are clean and it's always busy, but the portion sizes are excellent as well as you can see from some of the pictures of the fisherman's combo I paid $46 market price with a drink so that's not bad. Definitely will come back again

    Lobster roll with clam chowder
    Kathy L.

    We would definitely come back. Prices are fair for the quality and if you're having a craving for lobster rolls but don't wanna break the bank, they know what they're doing up here. Service is fine. You order, sit down, and come pick it up when they call your number. A lot of outside seating as well but it's always packed every time we go. Usually pretty loud, family friendly, and seems that some ppl will stop and order outside just to get some ice cream.

    Clams are excellent, but there are very few in comparison to Cremeland for the same price..and not a big fan of their French fries... service is fine.

    Scallops and whole belly clams

    Another trip to NH and another trip for fried seafood. Straight from the airport to here. The full belly clams hit the spot. Had 8 people in our party for lunch. No waiting, place was empty. Everyone's food was awesome. The ice cream was a big hit. The "small cone" will satisfy all.

    Counter to order food outside

    Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon around 4 pm for a late lunch/super early dinner. To my surprise, the parking lot was very full. I think a lot of people were there to get ice cream at that time. Ordered a plate of clam bellies from the counter outside. It took about thirty minutes for the order to be ready. Indoor dining was open, but there were probably like ten tables. No outdoor seating is available. I waited around in the super hot parking lot for the food to be ready. After grabbing my food, I drove down to massabesic lake (2 min away) to enjoy my food. I did notice that my food didn't feel piping hot when I got it. The meal came with my clam bellies fries, Cole slaw and tartar sauce. These were some of the largest clam bellies I've had so far!! Fries were crispy, the cole slaw was a strangely watery. Overall, good value for the price you pay. Maybe I just got a cold batch, but I did wish that my food was hotter when I got it. Worth a stop in Manchester if you have some time to wait for your food and if you're craving fried clam bellies.

    The food was delicious I had a cheese burger and Oreo ice cream. The ice cream was pretty big so I recommend getting a kid size.

That's service! And I won't forget it. All the staff was very kind and she checked in with me several times during my meal to make sure it was going well. The ambiance is a little noisy but it's a raw bar that has sports on. The food is delicious. I could have eaten the Cippino forever! The broth was a complex delicious and perfectly spiced tomato base. The seafood was plentiful and large sized. I have never seen shrimp so big! I also ate oysters and had an amazing home made peaches and cream cheese cake. Listen I don't really like cheese cake but I could eat that cake everyday for the rest of my life. Everything from start to finish once I sat down. Was delicious and the staff was very kind. This food was fired fresh in the kitchen. I could see if from my bar seat. So if it took a little bit it was worth it! I'd eat here the next time I'm in Manchester 10/10

Staff appeared uninterested and inattentive, and we had to repeatedly ask for basic items. The food did not justify the prices at all. The seafood was overcooked, lacked flavor, and did not taste fresh. Portions were small for what you pay, and the presentation was careless. Overall, this restaurant is overrated and did not live up to expectations. I won't be returning and would not recommend it unless there are serious improvements in both service and food quality.

Honestly do not know much about the area, but it was easy to find off 93 and plenty of parking. Stairs and a full ramp to access the front. Not huge, set up more for take out and maybe delivery. But they do have some tables and we were able to put two together and all sit. They had a large tv playing cartoons, so the kids were entertained while we waited. Great menu options for adults and kids. Sandwiches, wraps and salads were our focus, but they did share they offer an incredible seafood menu. Maybe next time. The food was fantastic. Perfect for our group. The onion rings were a huge hit and the fries were crispy and not mushy. My Italian was loaded with everything and worth every penny. A family business it seems and they all were so pleasant and nice to talk to. They even gave me a recommendation for a park to take the kids. Not to go into the details, but this meeting was a bit emotional for me and the mom but worked here and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you and see you soon

The pricing here is pretty reasonable. I stopped by East Side Grill after work for takeout. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan Dinner ($13.95 plus tax) with side salad and roll & butter and Fried Calamari ($17.95 plus tax) with spicy fries, side salad and roll & butter. I also used a $3 off $30 purchase coupon (covered the meals tax). My order was all set to go in about 12 minutes and I headed home to enjoy. The portions of food were pretty good sizes. The side salads had fresh romaine lettuce, green peppers, carrot, cucumber, tomato, red cabbage and Ken's salad dressing packets on the side. The soft rolls were chewy. The Eggplant Parmesan had thick breaded slices of eggplant topped with melted cheese & parsley over soft spaghetti with a zesty marinara sauce in a rectangular foil container. The firm calamari (rings & tentacles) had a golden breading and the golden fries were coated with Cajun seasoning, tartar sauce on the side. I saved some leftover food for some of my lunch and dinner the next day. I would definitely stop in again soon since this place is literally on my way home.

    Wonderful little lunch stop!…read more It was full of locals and regulars and on a wait for lunch. At that moment I knew I had picked a good spot! We chilled with the folks up front for a good bit before getting a table. It seemed we were the only people that had not been here 30-40 times before. Most people didn't even want menus and the sweet server ladies just brought them food without conversation at all. It's kind of old school feeling inside. It's an open kitchen and you can see all of the action. Inside is all wooden and rustic. It reminds me of my grandmas house in Camden TN. Not sure why. It's just really comfortable in here to me. The tile and fireplaces make super cozy. This place has some of the best chili that I have had in a long time. I dig the fact they give tortilla shops automatically with the chili. Win!! Thick and meaty and oh so filled with spice and love!! Cheese on top was a nice touch too. Really liked it! My French dip was fucking killer!! So damn big too! I could only eat half of it because of the the fire ass chili I had already eaten. French fries were battered type. Nothing wrong with that!! I drove around with this sandwich for two days of travel and ate it on the road later. Stupendous French dip!! C had an open faced roast beef sandwich. FIRE!! The green beans were so pretty and fresh too. She could barely get 1/3 down, lol. It was a ton of food. Economical! Hometown feel! Good people working and eating here! I love it!! I'm not even sure I could find the place again. I sure am glad I did the first time! '26 -39
