Went to dinner on a Friday night with my wife and our 2 BBFs and I was surprised the place was practically empty. Â Most people that were there were seated at the bar. Â We preferred the dining room which was pretty empty so we got a nice private corner booth. The waitress was extremely pleasant, and we were VERY grateful she recommended the parmesan cheese chips. Â They were a special that day, but you can order them anytime. Â I HIGHLY recommend them - delicious! Â Homemade potato chips and lots of cheese...can't go wrong! Â I had the classic burger with cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Â It was cooked perfectly "medium" as I ordered. Â This in itself I was very happy with, because most places I've been to lately have a tendency to overcook meat. Â I was excited to get a perfectly cooked, juicy, thick hamburger. Â My dining mates had a burger too, the mac & cheese, and roast beef sandwich. Â They all loved their dishes as well. Â I opted to have onion rings instead of fries. Â (fries were good too!) And they were the TASTY beer battered kind, not the frozen breaded kind - yuck! Â I also had a peach sangria which was pretty refreshing. Â We all were too full for dessert and walked away satisfied. Â Will be back next time for beer and those Parm Chips!!!
Review Source:Went to Locals on Saturday night with a party of 20. Â They had a table all set for us and were so accomodating. It was a special occasion, an 80th Birthday party. Â They allowed us to bring our own cake, order off the menu gave us separate checks and took a family photo for us!! Â The food was excellent. Try the parmesean chips, you won't be disappointed! Â This will definately be a family go to place...... Â what a great addition to the area restaurants.
Review Source:We happened to drive by and decided to stop and have dinner last night. Â We were not disappointed by the restaurant at all.
We walked in and were immediately seated, the general atmosphere of the restaurant side is populated by pictures of portsmouth, hampton, rye and many more local spots. Â Our waitress Alysha was very quick to get to us and get our drinks going. Â We asked a lot of questions and took a bit of a time to finally order and Alysha gave us the patience we needed. Â We started the meal with french onion soup, great tasting and perfectly cooked cheese. Â The cooks and Alysha allowed us to order the poppers that were part of the appetizer sampler special even though they were not on the menu. Â The poppers were not the normal poppers and had cheese, black beans and corn in them, excellent. Â I had a cajun burger for my entree that came out perfectly medium rare and had a good spice to it. Â My wife had teriyaki steak kabobs, they were medium and the veggies on them were excellent. Â Overall great experience and we will be back. Â Good to see more local places showing up instead of the crappy chains.
Went last night for the first time with 2 other couples and 5 toddlers for dinner. The staff was extremely accommodating for the size and rambunctiousness of our group.
We ordered the kids' meals first, which there was a decent selection. As a bonus they came with ice cream cups which made my daughter very happy! There was a nice selection of local brews on tap and the menu had a good selection of options for both the meat, sea and veggie lovers. Among our group we tried it all: wings, burgers, fish, steak, salads and pasta. No one was disappointed!
The atmosphere was family friendly and the separate bar on the other side was nice for those who prefer more of a "pub" feel.
The owner happened to be onsite that night and made a point to come by our table and introduce himself. It's nice to see more independent restaurants to choose from vs. the typical chain.
We will definitely be back to help support a great establishment!
Decided to check this place out shortly after it opened. I was excited to finally see something come into the Wings Your Way building.
I hate to say it, but I wasn't impressed. Our service wasn't very good, and the meal was just okay.
When we got there, we ordered beers, and an appetizer of wings. After 20 minutes, we still did not get our beers. Our waitress felt horrible, and rushed to get them for us, but then we waited again for them. Finally, the owner came to our table and said that the beer we ordered was "pouring bad" so he was going to get us something else, on him. That was certainly nice, but I think I would have liked to know that sooner. Also? They have a HUGE list of beers on draft, but they did not have a list on the table for us to reference.
The wings were actually quite tasty, the Chipolte BBQ sauce was great. However, We got our appetizer,but no plates. We flagged down a staff member and asked for plates, and by the time we were done with our food, the plates arrived.
My boyfriend ordered a chicken and shrimp dish, and I ordered a panini sandwich. My sandwich was a glorified grilled cheese sandwich with chicken in it. And the boyfriend's meal failed to impress him as well. We don't consider ourselves "foodies", but we left that night just feeling unimpressed by the place.
We've been looking to eat here but wanted to give them a chance to work out the bugs of a new restaurant. Last Friday we gave them a shot. First we wanted to check out the menu. We had trouble finding information about them on line. When we tried to look at Locals in North Hampton we got listings for either local restaurants or links for local singles. We finally had to locate them on Facebook to be about to see their menu.
We got to the restaurant around 7:30. There was three girls waiting to seat us. My wife and I found the place to be a bit bland in appearance. All the walls were a light Gray. Not a very warm and welcoming appearance. There also wasn't any background music so if felt like we were dining in a library. Like if we spoke with normal speaking voices we would disturb someone.
While we were waiting for our waitress my wife pointed out and we both watched a waitress pull off a hair band, fix her ponytail and then pour drinks for a customer without washing her hands. Kind of gross. We both said, "Don't be our waitress. Please don't be ours!" She wasn't
Our server came by and we ordered a couple of diet cokes and an order of onion rings. She brought us our sodas which they put lemons on the rim. I'm sure there are those out there that see this as a nice touch but it's a pet peeve of mine. I like my soda straight up and if I want citrus I'll ask for it. .
Then we got our onion rings and they were disappointing. I thought they'd be home made but by the looks of the batter and the texture of the onion suggests they were frozen rings. Also they were over cooked. We sent them back and a manger stopped by and delivered us a new order. My wife also asked for vinegar for them. Usually here on the seacoast at a place that has fried fish on the menu they serve malt vinegar, but here they gave us red vinegar,
About the time we got our onion rings the rest of our food arrived. We did keep it simple on this visit and just got appetizers. Pretzel sticks, potato wedges and chicken tenders. The pretzel sticks we just OK. I wasn't impressed. I thought they were going to be more like a pretzel and there were more like bread sticks. The chicken was pretty good. and I enjoyed the potato wedges. What I liked was they were cooked to a point of being crunchy. Where I liked them they were too overdone for my wife.
Another thing was when we were finished and the waitress ran our credit card she kind of hung around the table and grabbed the singed check as soon as I was done. Kind of made us feel super rushed. Like "Thank you. Go Home".
Stopped in today to get out of the 98 degree heat. Â Thank goodness the AC was working well. Â We were promptly greeted by Kay and offered a beverage and a menu. Â Got the Angus burger with fries which was to die for and an order of chicken tenders. Â The tenders are breaded on site which is a pleasant change, they were very juicy and tasty! Â Can't say enough about the attentiveness of the staff. Â Kay came by several times to check on us to see if there was anything she could do and just general chit chat. Â She's a great asset!! Â Now if they'll only open for lunch!!!! (hint hint) Â Overall great experience and great people!!!!!!!!!
Review Source:I went in here on their opening day. Â The bar was packed so I sat at a table. Â I like the menu a lot. Â It is simple but has a good selection. Â Burgers, paninis, pasta dishes and some fish. Â Lots if good apps too. Â Deserts look aweome but I didn't have time to try one. Â Bread to start was soft and delicious. Â French martini was very good too. Â I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with fries for dinner. Â It was really good and the BBQ sauce on it was great. Â I would come back for the BBQ sauce alone.
Friendly staff and nice decor. Â Much nicer than when it was wings your way. Â I will be back for sure.
