Thirsty Moose Restaurant Review

The Thirsty Moose Restaurant just opened in Dover N.H. so for all of my local readers you have a lot to look forward to with this new restaurant!  We  meaning (Jim, Robby and Robby’s girlfriend, Emily). Don’t worry the kids had plenty of time for their own date night! Went on Friday night. It was only the second day they were open and  they have not even had the official grand opening yet! We were greeted by a few adorable staff members, Katie and Sophia. The location is great and has large windows that open all way to have open air seating.  Lots of large screen televisions to view your favorite game. We arrived at about 4 p.m. and there were already plenty of people there!

Our server’s name was Steffi and she was just terrific welcoming us and not afraid to help us with our dinner choices and answering many menu item questions!  Steffi was also kind enough to give us a ton of great information about the Thirsty Moose! Did you know they make ALL of their sauces fresh in house?  YUP! They sure do!  Did you know they have a pizza oven? YUP! they do! They also make all of their own pizza dough!

Steffi also told us that they have something called the Antler Rack.  I bet you wonder what that is ? Well it is basically beer tasting. You can get up to six samples (Steffi says they are good size samples) of various different beers and you and the restaurant can even keep track of the beers you have tried and the ones you like! Pretty cool huh?

Speaking of all that beer they have 160 tap lines and 116 brews, that’s a lot of beer!

We ordered the Poutine fries ($5.99) to start and those were great .  We all enjoyed them…they are made with hand cut fries with fresh mozzarella cheese and a rich gravy. The cheese at the bottom got all nice and gooey… oh so good!

Jim got the Hangover Burger ($10.99) and he really enjoyed that it was a burger with American cheese , egg and hollandaise sauce. The burger was cooked just right!

Emily had the Grown up Mac and Cheese ($12.99). This had broccoli, bacon and four cheeses! This was so creamy and so rich… not too mention a huge portion!

Robby had the California Club ($10.99).  This had turkey, applewood bacon, lettuce, avocado and buttermilk ranch dressing. This was good and a large portion,  but it was the least favorite for all of us.

I had the Thai chicken pizza ($13.99 for a small ).  This pizza was amazing if you like sweet with heat!  It packs a huge flavor punch. It has chicken , red onions, bell pepper, pineapple and a sweet and spicy Thai sauce. This has a thin delicious crispy, but not too crispy, crust.  I think a shrimp version of this would be an awesome special during the Summer months!                                                                                                             Just sayin……

Sadly, we could not try a dessert as they did not have any left as it was just a soft opening and they had ALREADY run out!  I think that speaks volumes of the kind of food you will be getting at this location, don’t you?!

The Thirsty Moose has a location in Portsmouth N.H. that is located on 21 Congress Street.  They do have a website as well.

We are already looking forward to going back!  Take some time out and enjoy Dover’s newest restaurant!
