We recently visited the magical village of Seabrook and stopped in for an early dinner. The chicken sandwich was our fav and we should have ordered three of them. The Bahn mi is a very good pulled pork sandwich. The fries are good krinkle cut fries. The clam chowder was delicious. I was glad we got in early as many people came in after we got seated (just before 5pm on labor day weekend). Our server was very attentive and shared with us that they will be doing some renovations and adding a food cart that will be selling Hawaiian food. I would definitely make time to go back in the future and I hope that they still offer that chicken sandwich. read more

Food and cocktails were good but it's clear the staff are under tremendous pressure and there aren't enough of them. So hurried that they brought my wife the wrong order. The order was close to what she requested, though, so she gave it a go. One problem. No fork. When we asked for one, the waiter didn't return (again, likely overwhelmed by the number of visitors) so I had to go to the Tavern section of the establishment and reach behind the bar to get a fork. That was fun... Lastly, the wait time between ordering and receiving the order is quite long. Here's the thing: It's not like Seabrook has a wealth of wait staff candidates in the surrounding towns just jonzin' to work at Rising Tide. It's probably hard to find good people. Cut 'em a break and be nice to them. read more

My book club full of ladies was staying in Seabrook for the weekend and came here for a late lunch. Even though the bar was full, they sat us in the restaurant that hadn't opened yet. A great menu with something for everyone--they have cocktails, wine, beer and cider. All kinds of good menu food options. I split the special halibut fish and chips with a friend. Girl, this was fantastic fish and chips! Three huge pieces of halibut--way too much for the two of us--cooked to perfection. The fries weren't my favorite, kind of steak fries if you curled them. My friends got the poke bowl (may have been a special) and the clam chowder. Service wasn't amazing, but it might have been because they accommodated us. read more

My first time in seabrook and I stopped in for brussel sprouts and fish & chips. Everything was delicious, the brussel sprouts were crispy without being burnt and had a slight sweetness to them. Fish and chips came with 3 pieces and weren't too oily. The twisted sideways fries were delicious and crispy too. Service was great and the decor is nice. read more

Definitely a mix of pros and cons. A pro was that the burger was really good. I really enjoyed the burger with the abundance of veggies. The fries were crisp and hot. They had a pomegranate grenadine which was super tasty. A con was that when you first enter the restaurant there is a strong odor of fish. Not the most pleasant. Another was that the service was not that attentive and a bit slow. read more

The location is beautiful in Seabrook city center, and the ambiance was quite nice. Average noise level sitting in the 'Tavern' section of the restaurant. The server was fantastic (didn't get her name, but female redhead with glasses). I always appreciate excellence. It was lunchtime, so I went with the fish and chips, but exchanged the chips with onion rings. That made me feel pretty smart as the onion rings were perfectly crispy on the outside, and firm but juicy onion on the inside. The fish was a little over cooked as it came out super hot and super crispy. The taste of the fish was ok, but the consistency was a little mash potatoe'ish. Never had that happen before with fish and chips. All-in-all, great experience, but at $43 total (before tip), a little pricey for lunch. I'd still come back. The pluses far outweigh the minuses! read more

The food was delicious. My friend had the classic hamburger and I had the Bahn Mi sandwich. The hamburger was big and she was only able to eat half. The fries were unusual, plentiful and tasty. I managed to eat all of my sandwich, great food. Prices reasonable, service excellent and had a good meal. read more

Go here for the clam chowder you will not be disappointed. After the first bite I knew I would be thinking about it FOREVER. Its been months and I still dream about it. So buttery and rich and so so so good. It was so flavorful and just different than your classic clam chowder. The steak sando also was so good, all the flavors and that chipotle mayo! We sat outside and were the only ones so we kind of felt forgotten. There were also so many bugs and it felt kind of dirty. But maybe when it's peak summer they keep up with the patio better. read more

I wanted to try everything on their brunch menu but ended up sharing a Tavern Omelet with my mom. Their serving sizes are perfect. We were surprised when they brought out a plate that looked reasonable enough to finish! I wouldn't say flavors were out of this world, but everything was cooked & seasoned well and filled us for the morning. We also got the fan favorite clam chowder which was sooo good and unique.. It didn't have the typical sea salty taste of a clam chowder but I still liked it a lot :D Also worth adding they're pet friendly! We got to eat at the tables outside with our dog :) Parking - No lot directly tied to this place, but there's free street parking around the area and walkable once you've found a spot. read more

My take is pretty consistent with others. The service is just not there. I liked what I ate but my wife did not like the fish and chips at all. Very bland and would not recommend like others have. I feel like this place is poorly managed and there is a young staff left to fend for themselves. Often allowing too many customers to come in while they don't have enough staff to accommodate customers in a timely manner. They'll get to you, but boy will you have to be patient. From what we observed, it was an odd place and experience overall. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner while in town for a weekend getaway. Service was efficient, food was excellent! The clam chowder was the best I've ever had. I thought about it so much that the next day I ended up begging them to fill some tubaware containers to take home (i purchased them)... the owner was kind enough to oblige and let me tell you- it made my week! I know that messed up their prep work so next time I'll call ahead. But that made me appreciated it that much more! read more

Staying the night in nearby Moclips and were recommended this spot. The menu is definitely not thrifty with $25 burgers and sandwiches. We were seated in the bar area and promptly served our burgers which came with a good amount of twisted shaped fries. They also have a selection of around 8 local draft beers and ciders. Mushroom swiss burger was very good, without mayo, added bbq sauce. Ice cream available across the street for dessert as well! read more

We ate (and drank) at Rising Tide 3 times during our trip. There aren't many eateries in Seabrook so we were fortunate that the margaritas and food were stellar. Their clam chowder is a unique recipe and very good. Our favorite meals were the fish tacos and fish & chips. My friend thinks the margaritas were the best she had ever had. The only food we were disappointed in was the onion rings. They looked and tasted like the packaged, frozen ones you can buy at a grocery store. We were surprised they weren't homemade. The servers and bartender made us feel like we were among friends. They have a happy hour menu. The ambiance comfortable. They offer brunch on Saturday and Sunday. We unfortunately missed that. Definitely recommend Rising Tide. read more

Wow-don't miss this gem. Food is fantastic-may be in my top 3 taverns -menu is well thought out and has something for everyone in your group. Don't miss those fish and chips. Check out the steak salad pic I've posted -more like a steak with salad. Beer menu is spot on and service is above and beyond. A destination restaurant for sure. read more

Food is really good, service just isn't great, sat probably for an extra hour in the restaurant because seemed like there's only one waiter for the whole restaurant. Really bizarre to only have one waiter especially on a weekend. read more

Sad because the good and drinks were delicious! The customer service was terrible. We never got greeted at the front door. No one ever came by to take our order. There was zero communication between FOH. They also forgot my nieces lemonades the easiest drink of all multiple times. read more

Beautiful nautical ambience! We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Staff was welcoming and friendly. We both ordered the fish and chips and we were sure glad we did. The portions were generous and the fish was perfectly cooked and piping hot!! A nice crispy batter finish and very good tartar sauce. If you're not real hungry, you could probably split this meal. I also had a gin drink that was made with Odessa and it was so unique and delicious tasted like a whiskey and very very good and supremely chilled. read more

Arrived on a Friday night and expected to wait. Front of house staff person took our phone number and did not have any idea how long of a wait and gave us no estimate. They ended up forgetting about us and there were 2 tables ready for us to have been seated at a while ago. The Hot Honey Chicken was good, but the New Standard double hamburger patty was not smash style like detailed and was too thick and dry. Pricing does not coincide with meal. read more

One of the few restaurant options that Seabrook has to offer and if you don't mind your limited options, Rising Tide works just fine. Not really a place to get brunch, but we wanted food within the town and liked what Rising Tide had to offer us. They had a pretty diverse and cultural menu from what we ended up ordering. We got some clam chowder, Korean chicken wings, and pork schnitzel. Clam chowder was really nice with the cold rainy weather that Seabrook was having. The Korean wings were honestly only considered Korean because of the gochujang sauce that it was covered in. Can't expect it to be real Korean fried chicken wings with a crispy, crunchy, and light batter. I think they should try working on that to be more legit. The schnitzel was alright. I mean, I enjoyed what I ate. Hard to mess that up I think, but it's definitely incomparable to what Leavenworth would have to offer. It's just a nice taste of it. I like that they had a Chinese pop-up menu special going on during our stay. I was not expecting much from it, but thought it would be fun to try out still. We decided to pickup the order instead of eating there because it felt a bit weird to eat at the same restaurant twice on the same day. Honestly, this was more like a snack. So we got the honey walnut shrimp and ended up with both the chow mein and white rice as our side because they ran out of the fried rice. We lucked out especially since the portions for everything was extremely small! I mean, for a pop-up menu, I guess it makes sense, but for the price it went for, it did not seem like I was getting a bang for my buck at all. Felt kind of ripped off. Came with fortune cookies if that means anything. I'll definitely come here for the regular menu moving forward. Still, not a bad option to eat at while being a guest in this lovely town. Close and convenient. Got to love that. read more

Went on 8/1/26, very bad customer service. Other than getting seated immediately, bartender took our drink order and that was it. Our drinks sat on the bar for over 10 minutes and the restaurant was not packed. We were simply ignored. Perhaps as a brown skinned people we simply were not a priority. There's no explanation in being ignored. We knew the staff was talking about it as I complained about our drinks just sitting there while each staff just walked past it again and again. It was clearly a sign of poor management. A simple acknowledgment would have been appreciated and would have gone a long way. It's 2026, I'm a paying customer and normally give generous tips as I was in the restaurant business. I just have brown skin. Get over it Rising Tide Tavern read more

came here for a weekend getaway with my partner. We tried this tavern and I can 100% can say - go somewhere else. anywhere else! The staff (wait staff) were rude, and racist against lesbians. As we were eating our meals, not even half way through the meals, a young brunette waitress came by the table and asked if we were done and tried to offer the check - you can see our food was barley eaten, along with our drinks. I told her that we are clearly not done and how rude of her to rush US but no one else at the tavern was rushed. some time passed and well we didn't finish the food and paid - no tip. then left disappointed. Do better Rising Tide Tavern. read more

We got there on a Friday night when the Mariners were playing in the playoffs. The place wasn't that packed. The staff was not overworked took us a while to order drinks. They put a carafe of water at our table and didn't realize that we didn't have glasses for the water. This place is going through growing pains if you're coming to Seabrook and you want a good experience, I would maybe skip this place for a while. read more

If you find yourself exploring Seabrook and you're craving some proper coastal comfort food, make a beeline for Rising Tide Tavern. I have high standards for seafood, but their beer-battered fish and chips absolutely blew me away. The execution on the fish is flawless. The beer batter is light, incredibly crispy, and perfectly golden without being heavy or greasy. It traps all the moisture inside, so the fish stays piping hot, tender, and beautifully flaky with every single bite. You can actually taste the quality of the seafood, perfectly complemented by that satisfying crunch of the batter. Even the "chips" hold their own--perfectly cooked, seasoned just right, and ideal for dipping in tartar sauce. Paired with a cold sparkling water and the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the tavern, it is the ultimate beach town meal. Whether you're staying in Seabrook for the weekend or just passing through the Pacific Beach area, this dish alone makes Rising Tide a must-visit. I'll absolutely be back! read more

We were in Seabrook on a Sunday right at lunch time so figured we'd wait awhile for a table for eight of us. We were surprised to be seated immediately at Rising Tavern and were skeptical since the place was basically empty. It's super modern and clean with nice upscale beach decor, not a tavern at all!! Our server was wonderful, super friendly and attentive but also very young and relatively new to the restaurant so wasn't super knowledgeable about the menu. He definitely made up for it with genuine kindness and impeccable service. The food was outstanding! We had everything from brunch to sandwiches and burgers, it was all amazing. The Corned Beef Hash stole the show with it's perfectly poached eggs and tender corned beef and the fries were a huge hit with the entire table! The biscuits and gravy were a bit spicy for our grandson that ordered them but a couple of switches around the table and everyone was happy! Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Trust the reviews that say how terrible the service is. No one is exaggerating. In a positive note the bread pudding was delicious.

Friendly staff and grateful for the outside seating that is also dog friendly. We had a solid meal and would go back.

When we walked in the place was totally full. It would've been an hour wait. Hostess was able to accommodate us in the back bar area. There was 10 of us so they just split the tables which we had no problem because we were all hangry. We came here last year on our last girl trip, so we knew the food would be good. Last year some of the ladies were trying to eat lite so they asked if they could order off kids menu. They were told no. But this time our server Nolan said it wasn't a problem, and wondered why we were even told that last years. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the Korean wings, with the sauce in the side because I one it would be too spicy for me. But I'm glad I did it that way because I was able to taste the wings without sauce and it was crispy and delish. Great location in Seabrook right at the heart easy to find. Place is Always clean. We've been at this place every year for three years now. Nolan was exceptionally great with his service. He really took care of us. We are all pretty good tippers, so I'm pretty sure he was tipped pretty well for his amazing service. Plus the fact he was so busy it was only Nolan taking care of several tables inside and outside the back bar area. We will for sure be back on our next girls trip. read more

First off, the inside is beautiful and I love the vibe that it has. Like a Nantucket style theme. It's very clean on the inside, and they employees work hard to keep the tables cleared and clean quickly. It was getting busy and there was only one server, so getting the check afterward took a bit but honestly it's ok. It was gorgeous out there. The fish tacos were big! They may not look like it in the photo but they are great. The slaw, the sweet homemade pico, the gochugang crema was delicious. Also, get their fries, they do not disappoint! read more

Back this summer and the Tavern was as good as ever! The chowder again, silly good, comforting yet not too heavy. The clam meat really is the star, they don't skimp and the pieces aren't minced. If being at Seabrook, walking along Pacific Beach, with friends or family or just yourself taking it all in, had a smell; this chowder is it. It's a hearty yet light chowder. I'd do anything for the recipe to the soup base!!? Perfectly tender root veggies, crunchy celery and generous pieces of razor clam. We also had the southern style fried chicken. For a large chicken breast, fried, the chicken was suuuper juicy under the perfect crunch from the fry and not oily in the slightest! Anyways, we had a lovely dinner sitting at a two top in the back bar. We were well attended to, super friendly and accommodating staff. My only not even complaint is lack of a wine menu. The wine bar a few doors down is fantastic!! I was surprised to see a barely there wine by the glass list at the Tavern. They will however waive a corkage if you bring a bottle you purchased from the wine bar! (Stowaway Wine Bar) So, I cannot wait to come back to the Tavern. Don't change that chowder!! read more

Not cheap but very good. I had a cab, the Brussels Spouts appetizer & the child's fish and chip. Still waaay too much food for a senior citizen. I had come for fish tacos but they weren't serving them because they'd run out of red cabbage. That's why I still ordered a fish dish. Even the kid's size was too big. 2.5-3 filets. Lots of crunchy batter on both fish & potatoes. It's probably my french grandmother's fault but I use tartar on my fries. Never my fish (IMO-fish that need sauce isn't worth eating). However, the fish tasted differently from my usual preference. After removing the batter, which was fine on the potatoes, I decided it was the white fish used. I'm used to True Alaskan Cod. I have absolutely no idea what kind of fish is was. The Brussel spouts were very good, but way too much for 1, let alone 2. Loved their home made tartar sauce on my fries. Took home the remaining 2/3rds the spouts, 1 piece of fish and half my fries. Still curious about the tacos but I'm probably be otherwise occupied during the remaining time in the area. Thx. read more

My family and I have been visiting Seabrook since 2023. The first time we visited we tried to eat here and we stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for 20 minutes without acknowledgment by the wait staff. We left grumpy and went next door to Frontager's Pizza(where we were seated immediately). The next time we came to town, we tried again to dine here but we had our dog with us and the patio was full. The staff member stated they weren't sure how long it could be. She did not offer to take our number, but said we were welcome to wait outside by the door and as soon as a table was available she would seat us. There were no seats, nor shade from the sun by the door so again we went next door to Frontager's pizza. Yesterday (7/21)we gave Rising tide another shot. This time with our dog and baby. We were seated on the patio immediately! And that's the highlight of the meal. The tables were cheap and flimsy causing my ice water( that had no ice. Server delivered them stating that it was very hot in the restaurant) to spill on the table. The server who delivered the "ice" water also delivered the menus and stated she would be back shortly to take our drink order. A second server arrived a few moments later and asked us what food would we like to order, and (after realizing that we only had water on the table) what drinks would we like. We ordered a beer a piece and an appetizer. The drinks and appetizer arrived roughly at the same time with the first and now third server. I ask the first server about their cocktails( having missed the list on the back of the beer menu) she show me and I ordered one. We also ordered our entrees at this time. That was the last we saw of the first server. After what we perceived to be a little bit too long for a salad and fish and chips to be made. The third server delivered our meals, didn't stay long enough to ask if we needed anything additional, or if our empty glasses needed refills. In fact he was in such a hurry to leave our table he tripped over the wheel to our stroller. The fish and chips were small portioned, over battered, and over fried. My wife said the salad was ok. As we were nearing the end of our meal, with still empty beer and cocktail glasses at the end of the table and our water glasses nearing empty as well. The second server while walking by asked if we were doing ok. My wife managed to get out a yes before he made it back into the restaurant. What she wanted to say was "yes, and we would like the check.". After finishing our food and sitting for several minutes discussing if we should continue to wait or one of us walk in, to try and pay so we may leave. The second server, after taking orders from another table, stopped and asked if we wanted anything else. We said just the check. He gave us his hand held and said that he will leave it with us so we can pay and that it was ready for us to tap or swipe. I looked at the screen it had the total and it said ready for payment. I tapped the back button, it went back to the tip options screen which the 20% tip was selected. I corrected that immediately, to the correct amount of tip they deserved, and paid for the meal. All of that to say, I have given this place three attempts and three time disappointed. I will no longer waist my time on this place, you would be wise to do the same. read more

Bar is good. Like every other restaurant in Seabrook, service is slow and prices are high. Just a weird vibe in the restaurant. Servers move in slow motion. Simple orders take an hour. read more

We spent a couple hours on the patio. We didn't eat but service was great for our drinks. Nice little spot.

Food was ok but service was god awful. They legit forgot about our table for an hour.

My husband and I had delightful lunch here at Rising Tide Tavern; the clam chowder was amazing. My date had the fish and chips and I had the fish tacos, both were wonderful. Our server was so kind and attentive, it really made our meal special. Lots of great sea themed items and art made you feel like you were in olde tyme bar. read more

Rising Tide Tavern has an inviting and attractive atmosphere, and fits well with the Seabrook vibe. It seems to attract a good mix of groups of young adults, families with kids, and couples, and it appropriate for all. While the food and decor and vibe were fine (probably "4 star" on those fronts), I was disappointed with the service, most specifically it was literally (not exaggerating) over one hour from the time my companion and I placed our order until the food came to the table. One member of the restaurant staff stopped at two adjacent tables to explain that they were short staffed and food was taking longer, and added a strange addendum: that the kitchen staff was "dissatisfied with the buns" and needed to get a new supply of buns (an awkward circumstance which raises a number of questions). Curiously, that staff member did not stop at our table to make that same announcement, but then came to our table 10 minutes later to deliver the same message. When a restaurant is in a situation like this, I have seen the following remedies, all of which leave guests with a better feeling about their experience: 1. Upon arrival, guests are notified that service is taking longer than usual, and guests are given the option to either be seated or perhaps go elsewhere, with no hard feelings. 2. If this delay happens after ordering, the server (or any employee) explains to the table that there is a delay, and the restaurant provides complimentary drinks or appetizers, or offers a free dessert. 3. The restaurant takes a little off the bill (perhaps 10% or 15% or 20%). Anyway, I do not know if this experience was normal or atypical. But, regardless, it WAS my experience, and this review is meant to reflect that experience. If I were to return to Seabrook, I might be reticent to choose Rising Tide Tavern. read more
