The Galley Hatch: A Delectable Blend of Bakery, Coffee, and Seafood in Hampton, NH

We randomly stopped in here for lunch on our drive from Portland, ME to Boston and we’re so delighted with our decision. Delicious food and very attentive and friendly staff (Donna is the best!). We had lobster, scallops, salad and veggies. The lobster was so meaty and had a great flavor.

What an extraordinary restaurant!! I was here last night and by far one of the best restaurants in the area. They have incredible indoor space. Nice outdoor space. Large bar area where I was sitting. The food is wonderful! The drinks are amazing. Our server Salina was wonderful and has been there for many years. This is a must if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. I didn't get many photos because I did not want to disturb the other parties enjoying their time.

This was a surprise for us to find for lunch. It was quite pleasant. The staff here were very friendly and professional. There was a large dedicated parking lot right outside. The food was delicious. The interior of the restaurant was nice but we chose to eat outside because of how nice it was. I was happy to not see any bugs bothering us while we ate. I am looking forward to going back again soon!

Atmosphere here was so good. Not too crowded, clean restaurant. The foods were delicious, specially the stuffed lobster was soooo good! The waiter was super friendly and proactive in serving. Also, parking was easy. I’m so glad that we checked this place while visiting Hampton beach. The only minor thing was with the optional sides (there are 6/7 options). We chose fries and onion rings, which were good but the rings were a bit soft not crunchy.

We had a great experience at the Galley Hatch! My dad ordered the prime rib special and said it was very good. I had the chicken pasta, customized with tomatoes, spinach, and onions—highly recommend adding the veggies! The service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. I only wish I had saved room for dessert because the bakery case looked amazing. I’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend this spot to others.

Food was good, service was fast and amazing, and I would recommend the Galley Hatch rum punch and the strawberry cheesecake. Emma was our server and she was amazing!

This place completely exceeded my expectations. I had the Fisherman Platter, and it was fantastic. Everything was cooked just right, and the seafood was so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. Our server was wonderful: friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful with the menu. Her positive attitude made our meal even better. Honestly, I’m so glad I stumbled across this restaurant on my way back from vacation. It really feels like a hidden gem.

We recently hosted my daughter’s baby shower at The Galley Hatch Restaurant, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The food and desserts were delicious. LB and the entire team were amazing to work with. They made the planning process so easy and stress-free, and the room looked beautiful. They paid attention to every detail and made sure everything ran smoothly. We truly can’t thank them enough for helping make such a special day so memorable. Highly recommend!
