I had the fish and chips. Haddock was perfect. Melt in your mouth good. Rice/carrots (fish,also) were in abundant and tasty.

First timer here. I heard a lot of good things about this place and we decided to take the plunge, and we were thrilled with our decision! 5 stars all the way. All 4 meals were delicious and all 4 of us agreed to the 5 star rating! The service was also 5 star! Barb was a gem! She was fast, friendly and professional! She answered all our questions and knew her menu. We loved the ambiance as it felt cozy even when full and busy. And I'm betting a dime to a donut it's always busy here! The portions are huge and the quality for the money is well worth the visit. We will definitely be back! This place is a must visit so put it on your bucket list! We came from Manchester, an hours drive and it is worth every gallon of gas! read more

Windjammers Seafood Restaurant - Sea scallops mmmm good! - Seafood Near Me - Rochester, New Hampshire

Looks like things have changed at Windjammers - for the better. We had been eating at other seafood restaurants the past few years because prices and portion sizes here went out of whack here after Covid. But we gave it another try recently and we were pleasantly surprised. We both had the haddock nuggets dinner. The haddock pieces were nice, plump chunks with a great tasting thin batter. The price was $13.99 .... that's $4 less than we had paid at Weathervane for a much smaller portion with a lot of tail pieces. Plus, you get a nice small loaf of honey wheat bread. Overall, a great experience. read more

Food was cooked to perfection service was fantastic ambience was as you would get with good seafood. Mostly elderly but worth trying.

They do a great job with fried seafood. It's fresh and well-prepared, and they don't skimp on the portions. Head and shoulders better than Newick's, as a comparison. Dine in or takeout, the dining room isn't a feast for the eyes but hey, you're here for the fried clams anyway. read more

We really liked it here. We met at 11:30 on a Friday for lunch, and I think it was just in time. The parking lot started filling up very quickly after that, they really get a good crowd. Our server was very friendly and on top of things. We weren't even seated for a minute before she was over asking about drinks, and not long after that she brought us a small load of yummy bread. We wished the butter was softer, and the cutting board it came on needs to be replaced, it's plastic and the paint is coming off where it gets cut (honestly we didn't think these were actually meant for serving food and cutting on but that's neither here nor there). The menu is extensive, lots of comfort foods - Mac n cheese, American chop suey and old fashioned stuff like liver & onions. They had stuff like beef pot pie and beef stew on the specials that day. And of course, all the seafood. The 1/2 & 1/2 was $22.99 for most seafood items, but market price for a few others, my mom got the whole clams & sea scallops market price for $33.99. There was SO much food. This lady can eat, and this time she needed help and still took some home. We didn't love the coleslaw, but the serving of mashed potatoes was big and yummy. I got the coconut shrimp salad. Not as impressive, but it was my own fault trying to be healthy-ish. It was just too boring - iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, mandarin oranges and chow mein noodles, with a decent amount of coconut shrimp on top. I think they were likely frozen, so I was a little bit feeling like I could have made the same thing at home, but they were good, and there was a side of orange marmalade for dipping. The dressing was directly on the shrimp though, which I thought was weird, I had to pick up the shrimp and let the dressing drizzle into the salad.. The ambience was just like you'd expect at a busy seafood joint on a busy day. Even the 6 top tables had 2 people sitting there, it was that busy. But everything happened efficiently and we thought the prices were very reasonable compared to other seafood places we've been. I'm looking forward to going back with my husband soon, where I will be sure to indulge. read more

I ordered the Baked Stuffed Haddock. and it was terrible. The worst I have ever tried to eat. Fist of all it was not "stuffed" as it should have been. They placed a piece of fish in a baking dish and places the unseasoned bland cracker crumbs on top. It was so disappointing as I have been to this restaurant many many times and have ordered the Baked stuffed haddock and loved it. Well maybe the cooks should not have been watching the horrible Patriots' game in the kitchen and paid more attention to what they were cooking. My meal and my husbands fatty steak tips were certainly not worth the money spent. We will not be returning any time soon. I was so angry that we quickly left without taking a photo. Very disappointed. read more

See all

Large portions. Flakey haddock. Two filets w traditional batter. Exceptional. Beats the weathervane and all others. I've been here before a d I'll be back. Instead of cole slaw and fries I tried beets and mashed potatoes. Maybe it's thee aftermath of the solar eclipse but on a blustery rainy otherwise insipid day, it was just right. Packed w ppl we were still seated right away and food arrived shortly after bread and butters. Darcy remembered everything and kept our drinks topped up. Portions, prep. and price were all good. Tastiest beets too. I'm guessing the kitchen staff was trained especially. I almost left because of the crowd but the Mâtre-d handled everyone expertly. Quelle experience! read more

This used to be our go-to restaurant for seafood and chowder. Yesterday, we ordered 3 bowls of fish chowder, and Lemon Meringue Pie. Every bowl of chowder was totally turned to dust, and the milk they used was sour giving us an instant stomach cramp. The pie was frozen and not fresh. To their credit, they have great service. I will have to think very hard before we return. read more

I love this place! Great quality food and great service. I wish they didn't have the same specials. It would be nice if they came up with some new ones. Other than that I would recommend. read more

Windjammers Seafood Restaurant - Clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - Rochester, New Hampshire

We came in tonight, we were seated quickly our waitress was good, but the kitchen was slow. Almost 90 minutes to turn the table. Most of our party had no issues with their food and enjoyed their meals. My clam chowder was good, not bad, and not life changing but it was just "good." The broth was thick and creamy and seasoned pretty well. I had the old salt combination plate which had scallops, shrimp, clam strips, and haddock. Scallops were huge and there were 4 of them, but they were water logged and mushy. Clam strips and shrimp were good. The batter is tasty and they tasted good. Now we get to the "haddock" filet. It was a good size piece of fish in a batter, but it was not fresh haddock at all. It was fishy, firm and not flaky as haddock should be. It was unappetizing at best. Since this is a seafood place I'd expect more out of them. I am a haddock snob and very particular about my haddock. This was not satisfactory or even passable. read more

Food is delicious! Fast service and pleasant waitstaff. Very clean inside with 2 huge restrooms.
