The Big Bean Exeter, Kitchen & Bar

In town to visit my sister, we went for a walk along the water and stopped for lunch at The Big Bean. The atmosohere/decorations are what i would call "artsy/eclectic." Very nicely done. I would have taken some photos but we were in mid-conversation and i didn't want to pause to fish out my ohone. The service was fast and friendly and our food was delivered fairly quickly. We both got different versions of their smash burger and they were delicious! Very flavorful! There was some sort of seasoning added pre-, mid-, or post-grilling that added flavor without being overpowering. The meals were served with nicely-seasoned home fries, that were also outstanding. Props to Ash, who was a knowledgeable and helpful server.

Our party of seven enjoyed our experience at the big Bean in Exeter. The staff was prompt courteous and kept us abreast of our situation with such a large party. When we were seated, we were able to get our food in a relatively quick manner. The menu has a wide variety of selections some of the highlights Were the scramble bowl, the make your own sandwich and the sweet potato hash. We definitely enjoyed our meal and would highly suggest you check out the spot when you’re in the Exeter area.

I love this place! I think all the food is probably good, but the breakfast items are exceptional. I had bagel breakfast sandwiches here twice, and they were delicious. The servers are nice and friendly, and there was plenty of seating when I visited at lunchtime.

Usually love the BB, and the atmosphere and service are always first-rate. But the coffee is terrible here! It's really good in Newmarket, don't understand why it's so poor in Exeter. Ours tasted like it had been stored in the Hazlenut coffee carafe; it had an odd smell and aftertaste. Also, for the love of Mike, give a spoon when serving tea! How is anyone supposed to squeeze the darned teabag with two little sticks?? And offer milk; most tea drinkers if they want dairy, want milk! Also, the bagel was godawful, tasted like it was out of a bag of Hannaford frozen bagels. Dry, virtually no seasoning on it. Just bad. I'm sorry to say this, but the breakfast was utterly disappointing, except for the eggs.

My mother and I came across this restaurant after having a relaxing time at the salt caves across the street. We truly enjoyed their breakfast menu and had there Sweet Potatoe Hash Scrambler/Skillet. It was amazing and we can't wait to go back. Great vibes along with a nice relaxing atmosphere.
