Locals swear by this no-frills roadside spot, which has been serving the best lobster rolls and fried fish in the area since 1962. Others come only for the homemade ice cream, made right here. Like many New England snack shacks, there's no interior seating, just some picnic tables sheltered by a makeshift roof. Hours may vary during the season.
It's a satisfying pit stop conveniently located in Rochester (21 miles north of Portsmouth), just off the Spaulding Turnpike, the major thoroughfare running north from Portsmouth.
