What kind of place closes for the season September 4th? Labor Day weekend! What a joke there is no way they can't stay open until October 1st! Food is also over priced especially the seafood. read more

Obscenely over priced for the quality and portion size. Up charges for everything, under cooked onion rings for 11.18 seriuosly! read more

Hamburger was OK. Onion rings were awful mealie not crisp like they had been cooked the day before. Won't go back there again.

The service is extremely slow. The food is okay but you'll be waiting in line a long time.

went two weeks ago and the clams were great. just came back from there and half of the plate was clam strips. we had ordered whole clams and he even repeated the order. we will not be going back. read more

The food was not like it was a couple of years ago We had hadddock boat with sweet potato fries--not cooked crispy--I don't think this was fresh fish--being a Friday, I thought the fish would be FRESH.'The fries were floppy and not tasty. The boxes we were given did not hold up with the "hot" food...very disappointed..will not be returning Oh yes -the tarter sauce was very thin and tasteless. read more

The hamburger I ordered was devoid of flavor and taste, rendering it an unsatisfactory experience.

The food is way better under new ownership. Only one complaint. I cook baked scallops frequently at home. Most of the time I purchase frozen wild sea scallops at Whole Foods and vacuum seal into portions and sometimes fresh. They are always large ranging from 1 1/2-2" in dia and 1" thick. I usually cut in half or thirds. I ordered a 2-way fish dinner at Brick House, haddock and scallops, two different times. Both times they were cut in half or thirds as I do. I do not expect that at a restaurant. They should be whole scallops not cut. It's very obvious they were cut. I took the breading off three of them and I just said Hmmm. This is called foodflation. This will not happen a third time. The other thing I look for in reviews is some sort of reply from the owner or manager of the business and there are none. I know all customers cannot be made to be satisfied but there should be some sort of reply. Take a look at Shooters Outpost comment section. You don't post there unless it a absolute fact and you know what your talking about. The haddock was fine. The breading on the seafood is excellent except for the scallops as the pcs were very small and the breading fell off easily. And no they were not bay scallops they were cut sea scallops. The onion rings are second to none the best I've ever eaten. This scallop issue should get resolved. I didn't order 1/2 and 1/3 scallop pcs I ordered scallops meaning whole. All food was cooked perfect. read more

Good food, friendly staff. Seasonal place. Prices okay. Portions are a good size! I liked their seafood platter. Burgers are good as well!

Grabbed a late lunch here on the way to the white mountains during Labor Day weekend. I got the scallop roll and was very satisfied. Fried scallops were tender & juicy. They tasted fresh and the scallop flavor was very prominent. They were a good size (about a 2 inch diameter and 3/4 inch thick), not the tiny bay scallops. Batter was thin and crisp. Portion size was generous for this particular dish. Scallops were overflowing in a toasted and buttered New England style hot dog bun. Onion rings were the type with real onions in them, but the rings were cut much thinner than most other places. They were coated with the same crisp thin batter from the scallops. They were a bit plain, but were a good vehicle for tartar sauce and ketchup. Both scallops and onion rings were not oily. Lobster rolls were ok, but understuffed. The Texas Burger was lacking as the party was very thin and most of the width of the sandwich was made up with lettuce. Flounder was used for the fish and chips. The breading again was thin and crisp. Flounder tasted fresh and was light and delicate. It was a contrast to the thicker cod that is usually used in fish and chips. Chips were crinkle fries that were plain tasting. Soft serve has several options for flavor swirl-ins including some unusual ones like blue goo and green apple. I went with a more mainstream butterscotch. The butterscotch ratio to vanilla was on point. Seating was outdoors, but there is a small enclosure if the bugs are too much. Since it was the last weekend of the season they ran out of their popular items such as the fried clams. I even got the last of the soft serve. Would stop by here if passing by here again in the summer. read more

I really, really like this place. Just one problem. They open late in the season and close early. I had people visiting over the Labor Day weekend, and they had already shut down. My neighbor says the family that runs it goes south for the winter. Well, it's not just the winter..it's the fall and much of the springtime. Too bad...really good food and very nice people (when they're there :\ Order the fried seafood. You won't be disappointed. Good value and decent portions, also. read more

I always love a good drive-in like this one. I tried the lobster roll, the fried scallops, a cherry slush, and a pup cup sundae for my dog. The lobster roll tasted fresh and was very tasty-- it was on the small side but also definitely on the less expensive side, so I was happy with it. The fried scallops were absolutely delicious. My partner had a gardenburger and fries-- we were happy to see a decent vegetarian option. The pup cup was massive and my GSD puppy devoured it so no complaints there! The only slight issue I would say is that the pup cup was served in a styrofoam cup and she ate it so fast that she destroyed the cup completely and definitely ate some styrofoam while she was going ham on it. She's fine and was totally happy though-- one of the biggest and nicest looking pup cups she's had in her short life. read more

I recently met some friends at The Brick House for dinner. We each got fried clams. I loved how fresh the clams were and the fact that they weren't overly greasy. The seating outside was cute and ideal to sit at and enjoy our meals. Afterwards we each got an ice cream which was equally yummy. Their prices are very reasonable. I plan to return. read more

I stopped here for a late lunch on a hot & sunny afternoon. The Brick House Drive-In offers burgers, hot dogs, grinders, fries, onion rings, fried seafood items, chicken tenders, Coke products, slushes, and ice cream treats (shakes, frappes, floats, sundaes, waffle cones) featuring several flavors of Gifford's Ice Cream. You order and pay at the right window and pick up your food at the left window. Picnic table seating located on the north side of the building. I ordered the Fish & Chips Plate ($5.95) and a large Thick Coffee Shake ($2.35). The 3 pieces of fish were hot & tasty, but very greasy on the outside. The fries were fried golden brown to perfection. The crispy cole slaw was good & sweet. The Thick Shake was very good, refreshing and hit the spot. The service here was friendly. read more

Usually they have great food but recently went and we had order a regular cheese burger , chicken tenders and hot dog. I don't feel the food is cooked properly. It tasted unfinished and left all of us who had eaten the items feeling sick. We've never had this issue until now. The ice cream/deserts were delicious as always. Just wish they would properly make their burgers and chicken tenders and hot dogs. They are simple foods and usually are good just not so much anymore. read more

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Welp, my sources informed me that meant "visiting a clam shack during the summah" so of course I had to! Sure they have hotdogs and hamburgers, but I figured that 1) those are so prevalent and 2) I'm not even sure how much longer I'll be living here that I shouldn't even bother unless they are highly-touted. No. It's either the lobster or some sort of friend clam/seafood if you're an out-of-towner. Hence, I opted for the fried clam roll. Fried clams for most of the US refers to slices of large surfer clams, however, this restaurant also sells whole clams (aka clam bellies). For around $8, you get a rather small sandwich so I recommend spending an extra $3.40 to upgrade to a plate with fries and slaw if you are actually hungry. Plot twist, this new england clam shack served honey sriracha fries! I was a bit surprised. You don't get too much honey or sriracha flavor but the fries were crispy and light. I feel like it's common for restaurants to just half-ass fries so this was nice. As for the clams, I enjoyed that light/crispy fried exterior and the bread was soft - perfect for a clam roll. They have local ice cream here and also offer frappes (milkshakes) on the menu. Service was friendly enough. There is a seating area outside as well as a covered shed to keep some flies away. Though I'm not blown away (or even really impressed by their food), I still pleased with their food. Sounds like an A-ok place to me! read more

Tried this place for the first time was impressed by the style and food on the menu. We ordered the lobster roll and to a large disappointment it was very very small for the price we paid. For them to recharging what they give us seems ridiculous the bread was plain Texas toast and maybe a teaspoon of lobster. For those that want to try it due to their immense reputation please be aware what you see and what you get are completely different with that said the prices are incredibly inflated you can get better quality food somewhere else I hope the management read this information done about it read more

Well if you time it right it's very good fried food. Clean, polite and prompt. If you get there 30 Minutes before closing you won't get served food. Haven't had anything bad there all is average or slightly better. Wish they worked longer in the year but hey everyone deserves time in FL. read more

Best Chicken Tender Sandwich in the State? I've been going here for years and love the place. It's your classic New England mom and pop summer clam shack. Food is terrific, service is fast, and nice people working there. The hot dogs are grilled - not steamed, as are the rolls. The onion rings are the best around - made there, not frozen and cooked. Clam strips are great - I'm too cheap to get the whole clams! Haddock is superb. The chicken tender sandwich at only $4.25, is off the charts. Nice fresh, perfectly cooked white meat, on a burger roll with a little mayo - love it. Super deal! I keep telling the owners, Rosanne and Gary, to open year round, but they like going to Key West for the winter. Key West over Hooksett - you kiddin' me??? read more

Not the best grub but still above average. The fries are crinkle cut. Buffalo tender plate was good but lil pricy for the size. They sell slush puppies which i enjoy too. Lg are $2. Ice cream flavors rotate regularly so if you see an odd flavor you might like then try it ASAP. read more

This place is absolutely amazing!! One of the best places I've eaten in quite some time. Super friendly people, super fresh food, and all around chill environment. The food was so good I came back 2 hours after lunch to order more food! If you skip this place you'll surely regret it. Buffalo chicken sandwich and the lobster roll are very inexpensive and absolutely delicious! read more

Fries didn't have salt, burger was tasty but tiny, lobster rolls didn't have enough meat and were overpriced

Ode to the Brick House, how do I count the ways.... Can you tell I love this place? The chicken tenders are exquisite. They manage to be tender, moist, AND crispy. The lobster roll is not overly creamy, has the right amount seasoning, and a nice warm roll to go with it (I just wish it was bigger). Their ice creams and frappes make us New Englanders proud too. The two things that aren't so great are: there's no restroom (hello porta-potties!); and they're closed in the fall and winter. The staff are uber friendly and courteous. Worth the trip, if you don't live nearby. read more

This location is not following guidelines for employees to wear masks. I didn't feel safe hear.

Great little drive in. Super fresh seafood and great onion rings. Super thin and a light breading. The frappe was outstanding as well. We had friend shrimp, clams and fish and chips. The chicken tenders were great too. Fresh chicken not the ground up frozen kind most places have. read more

Been coming here for a very long time. The staff is great and polite. We love supporting local businesses. The lines can tend to get long. Having 1 person taking orders doesn't help the situation. The wait to get your food is even longer. We ordered a steak bomb sub, a small fry (very small) and a small side of clam strips which was as small as the small fry container. It came out to $44!!!! Needless to say, unfortunately we've cut back on going here. read more

Today was out first time trying this place out and the ice cream was great. We want to try the food next time cause all the people around us were eating food and said the seafood is delicious. Everything looked good. read more

Great seafood. Wonderful quality and prepared just right. My wife is a fried clam aficionado and she swears by theirs. Enough said.

I was on my way home from camping and I was starving! I asked my hubby to just find a place on the way back to pop in and grab a quick bite. He saw this place and pulled in. I was NOT expecting anything great, the prices were low so I guess maybe that's where my expectations were at. I got the scallop roll and it was top notch! It was only 7.80 (super cheap!) and it was filled with huge and perfectly fried scallops. They were probably some of the best I've had truth be told. And now I'm bummed that they're closing soon (seasonal). If I had known about this place earlier in the summer I can assure you I would have frequented often. We have two seafood joints less that 5-10 minutes away from where I live and I would still drive the extra 20 to go here instead. read more

Good ice cream, decent servings, nice out door seating spots. I like the screen room.

I thought I'd try a place unique to the area and saw this had great reviews. I asked a couple questions about the burgers since I wasn't from here and it felt a little like I annoyed them for asking. The onion rings were listed as a favorite so I ordered them. The food was ok, I guess I expected grand given the reviews. read more

Always an issue. Whether it's the soft serve Ice cream machine being down or the multiple places where their hours are listed until being open until 9 pm and driving there only to find out they're open until 8 pm. Beyond frustrated and sick of giving chances. read more

Delicious food and great service, wish it was open all year round! Dog friendly also :)

Clam plate with full belly clams and lots of fries for hubby. Scallop plate with fries for me. The scallops were very sweet and perfectly cooked. We were both full and happy! The food came out fairly quickly, nice and hot and the batter was perfect! There was no salt on the fries but used ketchup so not a problem. No room for the ice cream that we were looking forward to, looks like we will have to come back! :) read more

I grew up knowing that The Brick House was the place to eat when summer hit! Weather you have lived in or around NH for a long time or are just passing through, if you have not had a meal or ice cream from here then you ARE MISSING OUT on an American Legend!!! My recommendation? The Clam Plate with Fries and Slaw, with a refreshing ice cold beverage! This summer we will be traveling from our home near Washington DC to Laconia NH and we will be making a stop at The Brick House! This place never disappoints! read more

I was traveling with my family and wanted to check out the brick house drive in due to the reviews.. I wasn't impressed to be honest. The food portion was on the small side though I honestly though I was getting more from the carton box used to hold the food for take out. Quality of food wasn't really spectacular as well. The fries was meh though I must say the onion rings was actually quite good. Otherwise I felt kind of ripped off overall. read more

The onion rings are my favorite! thin, crispy and don't fall apart when you take a bite. I always get a BLT but my boyfriend loves to try the specials. His pastrami sandwich was amazing. By far our favorite summer spot! read more
