Scallop roll and Onion Rings
Kelly D.

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.

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.

Clam roll plate

"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!

Classic wrap job for the chicken tender sandwich
David B.

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???

Banana split with nuts. Just under $8. Very good but i get larger splits at other spots.
King B.

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.

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.

Ventured in and was immediately greeted and pointed towards the menu. Although multiple items caught my interest, I settled on the Slaw-Py Pulled Pork Sammy! The person taking my order at the counter verified I want it as-is including the Spicy Sauce. That's a resounding "Yes please!". I grabbed a seat at the little bar and enjoyed the ambiance and decorations of the place. The food came out and I was struck by the serving vehicle chosen, a small fry pan. The cornbread was neatly wrapped up in plastic wrap and handed to me separately. The first bite was all I needed to know why the small frying pan was used! The juices dripping down my hands and the mouthful of delicious slaw, pulled pork and egg and sauces confirmed I made the right lunch choice. The pan caught all the juices nicely as I devoured the Sammy! The crunch of the slaw, hints of sweetness from the BBQ sauce, richness from the egg, saltiness from the bacon, and the juicy pulled pork with the Caribbean flavor and spice just all balanced so well and makes you forget the river of juices flowing all over your hand. The cornbread was equally moist and had some cornmeal on top for a bit of a crunchy texture. Can't wait to come back, although in a little puzzled why they have breakfast items on the menu but don't open until 11:00 AM.
