12 Ocean Grill

What an excellent place to eat! We all had different meals and all were cooked exceptionally well. I tried Veal Parm for the first time and was very pleased at the portion size and the timeliness of the dinner. I had is with red sauce which I normally can't have unless very fresh. We will be adding this place to our list of places to eat up the beach.

Skip this restaurant and go somewhere else if you'd like to enjoy your food. I got the medium lobster roll, and while it LOOKED delicious, there was zero flavor (the same goes for the coleslaw it came with). My sister got the lobster mac and cheese and had to send it back because with this dish, not only did it lack in taste, but it was poorly cooked and seemed to have Ritz crackers crumbled on top (which makes the 20 dollar price a bit insane!) She got the philly cheesesteak as a replacement, and they did that well. The saving grace is how nice the waiters were and how quickly the food came out. Otherwise, even the drinks were gross. Harsh, but the truth.

This is a decent establishment in a typically busy area, best to visit during slow season. Close to the ocean, easy access to major beaches, and a cozy environment. The crowd inside is nice, plenty to watch on the TVs, the food is delicious and the refreshments are cold. Known for the best deal on a lobster roll.

Came for lunch on a Saturday. Not me first time coming here though the food experience today was not what it was on my last visit. Did it change ownership? The Chowder was disgusting. It was like water with fish in it.... It had pin bones from the enormous pieces of fish that were dominating the whole thing no potatoes, not buttery, plenty of salad shrimps in it. I sent it back and they still made me pay for it! The Buffalo chicken pizza was served barely warmed and cheese not melted and the fish tacos were nothing special. Overall not the place it was.... what happened? Plenty of bar flies at the bar so maybe the drinks are worth it? Hope they improve for the summer season because Browns or Markeys is right around the corner and both are better for seafood!

Pretty solid place all around. Fun to have right on the MA-NH border. The people who got clams in our party said they were "good, not great", and the waitress briefly forgot to bring out my root beer, but those are the only real complaints. Offering tater tots as a side is quite inventive - wish I could give 4.5 stars to not drag down the average, but I can't quite give 5.

Visiting from a landlocked state, I came for some cheaper decent seafood. I ordered an old fashioned, and 2 seafood combo. Scallops and haddock. The food was ok, it’s fried seafood. But my old fashioned came out to me with the smallest crushed ice, soda water and half an orange slice in it. Confused, I went to search for my waitress who was swamped, so I went straight to the bar. Asked the bartender if she put soda water in my old fashioned and she said “yes, how would you like me to make it for you” with an attitude, like it was bothering her for no reason. Confused again, I said trying not to be rude. “Like an old fashioned, bourbon, bitters, and a sweetener.” Well that’s what I got, bourbon, bitters, the last orange slice in the bin w/ some juice to go with it. Oh and a packet of sugar so I can “make it how I like it”. That and the crushed ice again. It made something resembling an old fashioned. That bartender needs to read a drink book. Or just look it up on the spot if you don’t know. It was just an Old Fashioned
