Had the lobster roll along with fish chowder, it was so delicious! The amount of lobster in the roll was crazy, it was overflowing so much that I ended up with extra and got to just dunk it into the butter and enjoy! This is a must try if you are in the area for sure.

We had a late lunch here on an April weekday and it was very quiet. Had the lobster roll and BLT and both were scrumptious. Our server was very nice and the food came out quickly. Would love to go back on a nice day and eat outside on the deck.

They serve the best lobster i’ve ever had. I had a chance to taste a sample of the clam chowder. Even if I chose the lobster chowder on it, the clam chowder is far better than any I’ve ever had. This is absolutely a place not to miss when you crave for a bite around Portsmouth NH.

Nice little shop with a variety of foods. We had the BLT and House Special (lobster roll w/ chowdrer). Both were delicious. Prices are in line with the area. We sat outside with a grand view of the river. Very nice place!

Delicious and fresh food and warm, hospitable service. The blueberry pie was unbelievable and the lobster was the best we’ve had. Definitely a must stop when in Portsmouth!

Geno’s is a great local eatery with the best lobster stew! Bob, an Ohio native, was so personable and went above and beyond to package up some stew and chowder for us to bring back to Ohio. Definitely recommend this local spot!

Awesome waterfront venue in a deck created with lobstah pots. Clam Chowdah is made from scratch with no fillers and they even offer a sample for you to try. The lobstah is just raw meat with butter and mayo on the side for your to add to your taste. Great local beer selection plus my personal favourite Whales Tale Pale Ale from Nantucket.
