★★★★☆ 4.0 Todd Susuphaus · Nov 2025

I don’t have much time during the trip. I decided to make a quick stop here. The lobster roll was tasty but it was a little bit too pricey. The scenery was incredible I am really enjoying while waiting for my food. Don’t forget to say hello to “Brownie” she is very naughty dog

Nice little restaurant on the Piscataqua River with a nice view. Plenty of outside seating. The server was friendly. The food was very good. The lobster roll was tasty but I think was pricey at $55. The potato chips had a nice crisp. I would recommend for a nice lunch on the water.

Really great spot to enjoy fresh seafood and the ambiance of Portsmouth Harbor. Buoy Shack blends great food, friendly staff, and the added advantage of an incredible location. If you’re looking for a spot on your travels that offers a nostalgic experience, this is it. **Heaters on the open deck area were very comfortable

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Latasha Leming · Oct 2025

The food was just okay but the service was great. Our waiter was super nice. Four of us ate. We got a 6oz lobster roll with a side of bisque, a small bowl of lobster bisque (they had bread bowls on the menu but said they were out) so a small pack of crackers was served with it, a lobster BLT with fries, a lobster grilled cheese with fries, 3 ice waters with lemon and 1 coke. Our total was $155. We were traveling and stopped to grab lunch. It was okay but definitely wouldn't go again.

Its was excellent! And loved the house made chips and caramelized onion dip. And the French fries were great too! We got to see the bridge rise for boats to go under which was a bonus.
