    Nothing fancy, decent food, really nice people.  The only bad thing is it is really hard to find.  (just over the bridge from Rollinsford Mill, NH.)
    Bon appetit mes amis.

    My general impression of this place is that it's a hometown staple.  The clientele is, in a nutshell, old small-town folk... a generation that developed their appetite for fried, large-portioned American/Italian-style dishes in the 50s. I would compare this place to Governor's, for those more familiar with Maine restaurants.  That said, I'm sure many customers leave more than satisfied.

    In my case, not.

    I ordered the haddock sandwich, and despite it being battered and fried I could tell the fish was old as I was eating it.  Needless to say I came down with a case of food poisoning the next day.  I won't be returning.

    This place isn't going to bowl anyone over with fancy reductions etc.  They are good at the basics.  

    Portions are large and the atmosphere is very small town New England.  Try the light portion of the chicken nuggets.

    Fogarty's is a staple of the south berwick community that has been around since nearly the beginning of time it seems (longer than I've been alive at least).

    The service is always good and the people very friendly. As a whole the food is decent, not outstanding but good and very reasonably priced. The deserts though are amazing. Cakes, pies, just about anything you could want, they have. I've worked across the river from this restaurant for 6 years and I swear you can smell the fresh baked pies with the windows open in the summer.

    If nothing else, stop by and take home a sampler pack of their deserts. That alone is nearly enough to warrant this place getting all 5 stars.

    Five stars because this places is so South Berwick.  I remember when it was a shack, that me and my sister used to go get soft serve ice cream.  Now its totally different and most everyone who eats there are return customers.  the food is not all that fancy, but it is good New England food; if that makes any sense.  my favorite is the fried clams, lightly fried.  i used to like the potato skins as well and the cheese fries.

    i will go there this January to see if it has changed anymore since last time i was there.

    This place is filthy in food prep areas.  Owner is demeaning to employees.  Go to spring hill instead!

    I lived up the street from Fogarty's 4 summers ago.  One thing I'll tell you is that every time I went there, I would strangely carry their smell with me for a few days.  Definitely a family friendly restaurant with great food and desserts.  As a vegetarian, my picks were always the veggie burger and peanut butter cup cheesecake.  Their cheesecakes are amazing and I'm pretty sure that they sell them to other businesses.  I know that UNH sold them for a while.  Oh summer memories.

    This place is AMAZING!!! I went here last night (8/21) There were six of us and we sat upstairs. The place is VERY clean and the service is wonderful! I wish I could remember the waitress's name, she was a little older and she wore glasses. She was extremely nice and accomodating. The food was so fresh!!!! We started with the fried vegetables and onion rings, which were recommended to us by our waitress. I've never tasted home made onion rings this fresh before! I got a cup of the butternut squash and cranberry bisque which was out of this world! It tasted like fall in a bowl! For dinner I had the buffalo chicken nuggets (they waitress said their chicken nuggets were one of the things they are known for) and now i know why, they really were tastey and different from the usual chicken fingers I have had. I got it with homemade sweet potato fries, again they didn't fail on those, I couldn't get enough! We got dessert togo, a blueberry pie. I'm not joking when I say this, it was the best blueberry pie I have ever had, and its taken me til now to find a blueberry pie i've enjoyed. Now that I've relived my entire experience there I'll leave it with great, fresh food, wonderful, friendly service and just an overall great experience. I will be back!
