Purple Urchin

Tried it here last night for the first time before a show at the Ballroom. Excellent calamari app. Expensive lobster roll at $20 for not much of bits and pieces of claws and legs. Cole slaw was good. My brother got the grilled chicken sandwich and liked it, but it came with a pitifully small amount of good tasting fries. I wanted the haddock sandwich but at $16 (the most expensive I have ever seen), I refused. Not sure how they demand and survive with city prices on Hampton Beach. Service was friendly but visits to the table were inconsistently spaced. I don't know if I would go back or not.

Wonderful!! I love the Purple Urchin, best local spot on Hampton Beach! Great food and lovely people, a classic vacation spot! You can see the amphitheatre across the way, the occasional fireworks, sand castles, and listen to the surf while you eat on the deck.

Love the pizza, the drinks and the spinach and artichoke dip!
