Newick's Lobster House - Dover

Newicks is always worth the two hour drive for fresh seafood. A NH tradition where the food and portions haven't changed. They now have Hershey's Icecream. Personally, I think they should feature homemade or a local brand.

It's been a very long time since I enjoyed a nice bite to eat at Newick's Lobster House. I remember late afternoons dining in with my family for special occasions. My great-grandmother would consistently rave about how phenomenal their clam chowder is... That being said, Newick's still holds up to its name! Food is as phenomenal as it always has been, and the new renevations made to the building bring a new life to this loving family restaurant. I absolutely recommend the onion rings as they are cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully.

Maybe it was just a fluke, but I won't be spending another $21 to find out. We got their original clam chowder (I love thin chowder, usually more flavorful), and it was bland. Good clam flavor but no fat or salt or seasoning that is necessary to take it from clam milk to chowder. We will make the drive to Billy's next time.I posted a photo as well to show what I mean. I've never had chowder that was so plain in my life, restaurant or not. I'm not trying to be a jerk or exaggerate which is why I posted the photo as well. It looks and tastes like just milk with some potatoes and clams thrown in. So close, yet so far from what we wanted ?

Large seafood place. Good food, good prices and great service.

We've been going to Newick's forever and you can always count on great service and great seafood. Fried clams and scallops are my go to meal but I've never had any bad food.
