Cool little diner in the heart of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The double hamburger and fries were off the charts!!! Credit/debit cards are accepted.

Very mediocre American food. Noticed that the two workers in there treated my friend and I (POC) very differently compared to the other customers. And not in a good way. Cashier was in a bad mood and it resulted in poor service. She might’ve been tired but came off very rude. Some reviews were saying similar ratings about the workers coming off as racist and I wouldn’t be surprised. Maybe consider retraining employees for customer service because it really does have a big impact on a business.

This small 8 stool diner is absolutely amazing! My husband and I ate late night (our first time ever) and was greeted by Arlene with a smile who then took our order and then cooked it! We had double cheese burgers add bacon with “everything” , Poutine (was super cheesy and delicious without being soggy) and the chili cheese fries (full of flavor!). Really enjoyed the history and overall vibe of the place. Will definitely be back to check out with our kids 🙂 Picnic Table’s are set outside when the weather gets nice adding more room for service. Take out available but can not call ahead and no delivery services which is understandable for place this size.

Arlene and Jean are a pleasure to see and interact with. Never had a problem with service or food. Arlene has been cooking food for me for well over a decade and I can say almost with complete certainty that any of the negative reviews are from people with a BAC higher than their IQ. Will always come back for Gilley’s late nights.

Nice little historic diner in downtown Portsmouth. By little, I mean there’s 8 small stools inside. Don’t let the outside fool you though.. it looks like it’s spacious, but it’s all kitchen. (No bathroom)

I remember this diner growing up as a kid. It sat next to JJ Newbury’s. I wasn’t into burgers or hot dogs as a kid. Yes, weird kid! I would go past and watch the tires slowly deflate. A friend of mine wanted to eat there decades ago, the diner has been in business since 1912, and ordered a hot dog. He was treated rudely and got sick from the food.

We have been eating here since we were children. This is a home town classic for us.
