While vacationing at Hampton Beach, our family always has to have dinner at Little Jack's at least once. The order process moved quickly and our food was ready ina reasonable amount of time. We found a table on the upper deck to accommodate our party of 8, which was nice since it was a busy weekend night. 6 of us... More

The place is unique - you order outside and eat inside. They do serve alcohol which is a plus although the selection is quite limited. My wife and I ate "turf" there and the food seemed over cooked but she did commet that the clams she had the night before were great.

The food was simple amazing, we got two lobsters, one combo dish of fried calamari, sole fish and onion rings, one fish and chips and two beers and we payed 60 dollars. There is a very nice terrace on the roof overlooking the ocean (from faraway). Just be aware that there is no service, you have to make a queue... More

very large portions, very, very fair prices, like the idea of placing order and being able to sit where you like when you're number was called. Definitely a great place to have dinner, would definitely return!

We live locally and ate at this north beach area Little Jacks because it was reopened by new owners just this summer after it had been closed down for years. We simply thought that it would be a nice change of pace. We regretted that decision. Maybe it was because the new owner is going through his first summer of... More

The food is pretty good, prices not bad, the service however could be better. Not all of the staff, but some, are rude and a bit incompetent. Also, check your to go order before you leave.. I have gotten home twice with food and they had made a mistake on my order. It's convenient being close to my neighborhood for... More

This restaurant is very casual - perfect after a day on the beach. They have the freshest seafood I've had in a very long time. There were four of us and we ordered the "largest seafood platter in New England". You bet it is! It fed all four of us adults and everyone was quite satisfied. It was a very... More

Little Jacks is cramped, boisterous, busy, crowded and offers the same fried seafood as every other place on the 'coast. So - why is it so special? It just IS! As a native we wait for the official start to summer - the opening day at LJ's.

Three fully grown yummy lobsters for $29.95 - NEED I SAY MORE? Prawns and scallops also terrific. Not a fancy place, but great food at very user friendly prices. Lobsters must hate this place, as they do not last very long in thze pool.
