they've closed the restaurant they closed the retail shops. It sold the brewery. You can still come and hang out in the Brickyard get a beer sometimes on the weekends they have food trucks, but there's no restaurant here anymore and they're not brewing beer here anymore. read more

Restaurant at Smuttynose - this is what's left... You can come have a beer sometimes they have food trucks on the weekend. - New American Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

This visit wasn't as good as past visits. No music, $250 charge (new) to sit at a firepit. They were both going full speed with no one sitting at them the entire time we were there except the family members of one of the workers. It was a holiday weekend and dead both inside and out. Also, the menu has been reduced by a lot. Servers were really nice but one could tell it was an off night for everyone. Hope this doesn't continue. We were told there's new ownership so hoping this is not a bad sign. read more

Restaurant at Smuttynose - No Music!! - New American Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Have you ever wanted to wait several hours for your food to be fried into oblivion while sampling a selection of the world's most generic beers? No? I feel a little bad here, the staff was very nice and clearly overworked (see: one waitress for a large patio). But this place was almost hilariously bad. From the Velveeta Beer cheese to the pretzels that were literally waterlogged with butter, it was like a comedy of errors. Less funny when the jokes on you. read more

This is a joke. Will not be back here. Much much better and a destination the way it was with wait service and a full menu

Great place to dine. The food was delicious and hit the spot. Monique was attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back in the future. read more

Great food, service, and beer. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good variety of drafts. Food was upscale pub fare with serious flavors.

What a great place to stop over when on the seacoast. We have long been a fan of their beers. We went deep sea fishing and popped in here on the way to a job in Maine. They have a great happy hour too. We arrived wind burned, cold, and hungry. Ordered each a big IPA, and then the large size chicken fingers, and the pretzel bites. The chicken fingers are some of the best I have ever eaten. The pretzel bites with beer cheese were just okay, but boy were those chicken fingers the best. The large portion of chicken finger is massive (they aint lying) We ended up eating the last couple the next day in the hotel room for breakfast, and they were still delicious cold. Staff was friendly and attentive, and caught that the pretzel bites hadn't come out with the chicken tenders. Nice location, it has outdoor seating too. The only real criticism is there only being two bathrooms on the ground floor, there was one more upstairs and that was also occupied. It can be really annoying when people in a group all decide to use the facilities at the same time, it can really back up the flow of things. read more

Came from an hour away because my roommate said it was great and there was reggae music and we ordered drinks that we had to wait for half and hour. Female bartender avoided taking orders and gave us dirty looks and had to ask the other bartender if she could even serve us inside when we were only getting drinks and waiting for our table. We arrived at 4:30pm and was sat at 6pm and is currently 8pm and still no food. We ordered at 6:20pm.... Why have an event if you don't have the staff to run it. staff did not explain what the wait was for and tried to avoid us and is just hanging out at chatting at tables. read more

We have been coming to Smuttynose for years. Every single time we came, everything was perfect. We'd sit and enjoy the music and take our time with a few drinks and no one rushed us. Since March-ish things have changed. The staff walked out and only a handful of the staff stayed. We we're told a new chief was hired and things should start getting back to normal. We just went back this past Saturday and now all the staff walked. The service was not good, no one knew what they were doing. Took forever to get our food and drinks and they had just one guy severing the entire restaurant. It's a shame that a great place to hang out has turned into this. I hope things turn around. read more

A significant disappointment, it seemed as though it would be a fun place to eat, but it really was not. The music was way too loud to have a conversation at our table. The service was slow, and the food was subpar not someplace we will ever return read more

What an incredible place! The outdoor patio is fantastic, the food is great, and the live music absolutely amazing! Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or family, especially great if you have kids or dogs, there's something for everyone here. I love that there are lawn games and a beautiful forest setting. Such great vibes, I'll be here every warm weekend! read more

Have gone her many times and it has always been A+ service and food. Bad experience today. We were sitting at our table for 25 minutes and nobody came by to give us water and take our order. The hostess walked by and we told her that other tables are being served, but we were not. She did not seem to care and said she would tell the server. The server came by 5 minutes later and said he was not notified that we were his table. He tried to make up for the mishap and was good. Menu has also changed significantly. Many items like fish &chips are off the menu. The items we got were OK, but they used to be really good. I will give them another try to see if they improve or if this downward trend is the new normal for Smuttynose. read more

They don't take reservations but have call ahead seating. We had a large group so planned to eat earlier than normal. They were able to seat us, hosts were friendly and accommodating of our large group. Waiter was friendly and attentive, coming back to the table multiple times to check on us. The live music was an added bonus. Beer flights and mixed drinks were great, some creative options. Food was better than expected from a a brew pub. Wings were great along with the tortillas chip dip. We had the chicken sandwich, beef tips, and hot chicken sandwich. All very good. Especially the brussell sprouts in hit sauce side. Solid meal, would definitely recommend and come back. read more

Everything it was a great place to go but when it got sold it has gone down hill fast

ATTENTION NEW MANAGEMENT SINCE NEW OWNERSHIP OF BREWERY!! Servers are nice but managers are rude! Undercooked food and managers Molly say "well she ate it right?" Are you kidding me?? Wish I knew the owner because I bet he would not be pleased We love smuttynose and bring our dog and kids but we brought a huge group and it was a disaster.slow service which we were patient but our friends daughter didn't get hers and.we waited and qaited.and finally waitress says I'm sorry and brought it out. It was not even cooked so young girl who was starving started eating..we looked over and told her not to because it.was.cold.and not cooked. Waitress says I'll fix it.and.said I'll speak to manager and take it off the bill which was fair. Then she comes back apologizing that assistant manager said she had to charge us. Several new staff said that managers are mean and rude and we saw it ourselves read more

They recently fired all of their great staff in the waves and were not prepared. Since then, the management has been horrible. The new staff are mostly nice but just ill-prepared as you can imagine. They run out of food regularly, close early and food quality is hit or miss. Ownership doesn't seem to have a clue about the business as they had a great menu and employees that made you want to go in, now just the opposite. It's the definition of not trying to fix something that isn't broken. read more

We came from out of state to visit this area, specially for the beer. We got some of their beer in Rhode Island (some pineapple sour), and it was delicious, so we were looking forward to this visit. The restaurant is nice, and so is the service. They have daily specials, and today (Sunday) was a "buy an adult menu item for $9.99+ and get a kids meal for free". We took advantage of this and paired it with a poutine. Not super impressed by the poutine since it didn't have cheese curds and instead just had a bunch of cheese melted on the bottom of the dish, but it was still okay. The beer was delicious. You can get flights in here too. Next time we come, we will probably stick to just the tasting room, but nice location either way! read more

These aren't tenders, there are chicken tenders on steroid! Huge filets of chicken breast or cut in half to create delicious tenders coated in a crunchy, well seasoned coating. And if you like heat, they have some of the spiciest buffalo tenders this side of Buffalo. The drinks are good, food is well portioned and good priced, and the outdoor area is perfect for kids. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch. We tried the fish sandwich and the bang bang chicken. Both were well made and fresh. The fries were crispy and hot. We also enjoyed their hazy IPA and porter. Their outdoor patio space was abundant and likely gets filled up quickly on warm evenings. read more

Great family restaurant, something for everybody. The chicken sandwiches are bussin no cap. Bonus we get ice cream at the end that got me hyped. Dad loves the beer flights. The outside seating has a lot of rizz. My mom loved the special sauce you can add on to the chicken sandwich. It lived up to the hype and was affordable. 10/10 would recommend. -My 11 year old son read more

We were in town for a concert and stopped by the restaurant after drinking at the tasting room. We ordered nachos and they were missing at least 2 of the toppings listed which was a disappointment. There were barely toppings on the chips and the cheese was half melted and half cold shredded cheese. The tacos were delicious though and redeeming and the waitress was kind and gave good service. I would come back. read more

Not sure this place makes it through the summer. This place was fantastic for years but for some reason they decided to totally redo their menu in May of 2025. It's a Massive downgrade. Beer is still good but the food has went from A to C and the service is now an F. I've been twice in the last 3 weeks to give them a second chance but it's unlikely I will eat here again. The servers are trying but they just have no staff and it's clear the kitchen is massively understaffed as well. On a sunny day in June they had three servers for the whole restaurant! Which explains why we had to wait 90 minutes for a table after they quoted us 45 minutes. This place just seems "off". The whole vibe has totally changed. (But still a great place to grab a beer!!) read more

The food is tasty. The staff are very friendly . I'm not a beer person, but the Beer they create tastes great. I like the pineapple orange coconut sour! read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, yummy drinks, friendly service! Their "Finestkind" sauce NEEDS to be sold by the GALLON!! It is AH-MAY-ZING!!! Their "small" order of house made chicken fingers was incredibly fresh, juicy & perfectly seasoned/battered & fried - it was the most delectable "shovel" for their Finestkind sauce!! The Blueberry Key cocktail was yummy as well. I was with a large party & everyone seemed to enjoy their food & drinks. read more

Really disappointed in the changes at Smuttynose since Harpoon took them over. Gone was the live bands we used to listen to while enjoying dinner. Events during the week outdoors with music have been cut back also. Bar outside by the restaurant was closed. Food was OK, wait staff were good no crowds like in years past. Harpoon is clearly cutting costs. Won't be back there again. Really too bad because I chose to go there for my 70th birthday with all my family and we had a blast. No more. Sad. read more

Smuttynose may have usurped a few other breweries in the New England area as my favorite. The wide variety of brews, the gorgeous views, and comfort food offered just pulls at my heartstrings and brings my soul nothing but joy. The location has beers to go (in cans), with drafts consisting of their standard offerings as well as a few from the SmuttLabs experimental brewery/initiative. You will not be able to get through all of the offerings, which is a shame because there are so many good options to choose from. I guess that is just a reason to make the trip back to visit, but keep in mind that the rotations will change pretty frequently (especially the labs brews). The overall space and grounds are amazingly spacious, clean, and most importantly - gorgeous. There are views everywhere and you can even play With the current state of things, the patio almost always has a wait in order to get a table and it is equipped with heat lamps and gas fireplaces in order to keep everyone cozy regardless of the weather and temperature. The menu has a fantastic blend of typical New England fare that features seafood and other menu staples as well as a number of brewpub favorites that almost every brewery features on their menus. We split a number of dishes including the fried clams, the fried pickle chips, and a black bean burger. From a side perspective we got the mac n' cheese and the tater tots, rounding out a meal that while not healthy definitely was needed after a day of outdoor activities and very little sustenance throughout the day. The mac n' cheese for me was the absolute star here, boasting an absolutely perfect and creamy three-cheese blend with a Ritz cracker crumb on top. The pickle chips were perfectly crisp and has zero soggy chips in the entire basket, then served with homemade ranch dressing which is obviously significantly better than the "tub-o-ranch" typically served with such dishes. After having the meal we did I have full confidence that you can order anything on the menu and not have a bad experience. While Smutty is looked at as a "lesser" brewery these days with all the new-age breweries popping up, sometimes these keystones of the region remain strong and around for a reason. Smutty is the kind of place that should not be overlooked because it's not the "new hotness" on all the beer boards or "up and coming" breweries. It's was a truly great experience that based off the reviews really exceeded all expectations I had. Highly recommended, this place takes it up to "11" ;) read more

It was a nice Monday night when we drive down to Smuttynose. We wanted to try another Brewery and thought why not go to New Hampshire to do it! besides, my old Army nickname was smutty sooo... It was a short jaunt from where we were staying. We made it in time to check out the store first. They had some things, but like more company stores they were short on the popular sizes sadly. We then went across to the outdoor seating place. Its a great spot with lots of tables and fire pits socially distanced out. there was enough servers that we were helped right away. We tried a couple beers each. They were all pretty solid. A couple were sold out so we may have missed the best of them. Before we left I put in an order to go. I got the Lobster club and added tater tots. when I got home and dug in I was happy to see I made a good call. The tots done perfectly. A little greasy and yet crispy. The lobster Roll, wow, so good. The bread was toasted just perfect and the lobster was of course really good. Not to mention, the price was very good too. it was well worth the drive. Grab yourself a Smutty. read more

Restaurants at breweries are always the best and Smuttynose is no exception. I haven't been here in years and I guess it's been so long that now there is a new name. It's just Smuttynose Restaurant now, and it used to be Hayseed. There is a TON of outdoor seating and they do a great job of spacing out tables. There was a bit of a wait for a table, so we were able to sit out on some Adirondack chairs and start our food and drink order while we waited. The patio area is also beautiful with so many hanging string lights and a bar set up inside of an airstream. Right now they have a summery tangerine IPA on tap and it's so refreshing and delish. For eats my hubs and I shared chicken tenders and fries and a big soft pretzel with cheese sauce. The chicken tenders were thin and crispy and came with so many tenders and fries (and this was the small portion). The pretzel was also huge. Our server was so sweet and friendly and overall it was a great experience. read more

We had a party of 20 with reservations for two fire pits for a 70th birthday party. We were greeted warmly and had Cassie as a server. The food was excellent, something for everyone! Wings and Chicken tenders got high marks! Even though the weather was iffy, we stayed warm by the fire, and cuddled in blankets that I brought along...highly recommend! We didn't need the umbrellas I thought might be needed. We would go back again, for another function. Only good things to say! read more

We were visiting family in NH and stopped here one night for dinner. It was very crowded and took longer than promised to get seated. Once seated, we were greeted quickly by our server Joe.

Warning to everyone who hasn't been here since the changes were made. It is absolutely atrocious. We haven't been here since the fall and almost every good beer they had is gone, they have maybe 5 total bottles of liquor, every food good menu item they had is gone and replaced by subpar items, completely flat beer. We ordered the nachos since every other item we loved was scrapped from the menu, and we might as well have made them at home since they don't actually put toppings on for you and were basically mush.. Will not give them another chance it was that bad. They took what was a great thing and ruined it. read more

Food was great, beer is great, music is great, outside is great, staff was great -- nuff said.

I'll start by saying I love it here, great spot and great people. They recently upped the prices of all of their beers to $9/10. I'm aware of inflation but there are no other breweries in the area that I know of that charge that much for a beer. They also add$1 if a band happens to be playing so now you're paying 10/11 for a beer. Meh read more

The music was great, the outdoor trailer bar was efficient. Stupid me, im not a beer connoisseur and somehow ordered 2 non alcoholic beers. Haha whoops. I saw a guy nearby order chicken tenders. What a massive looking plate, kitchen was closed by my arrival so i was jealous. Haha. I'll def return. read more
