Lunch at Petey's

Except for a couple previously taken shots (the first one below, and a couple others) the rest are from my lunch with my Texas friend, Nancy, last Monday afternoon.

Several of the images are pretty poor quality but taking great photos wasn't really my aim. Enjoying my brief time with Nancy was all that was really on my mind. That said, let's go to Petey's!!

Blurry, but as you can see it's a pretty basic interior with booths all around.

When we arrived the restaurant had just opened so it was still very quiet. By the time we left the parking lot and most of the seats were filled. And it was a Monday. In October.


Walking through the door to be seated you go right past this boat. The first booth on the right after the boat is where Nancy and I sat. I just realized something, in all the times I've eaten at Petey's I've never had a view looking out over the marsh. What's up with that?




We didn't order lobster but one placemat fits all



The view from our table ... the parking lot. Across the street and behind the houses is the beach/ocean



Looking up and out our window




An overhead view



The reason we came ... the food! Both of us had the fresh Haddock sandwich with fries and a pickle. I believe it was $7.99. The fish fillets were large, fresh, and delicious! For an appetizer Nancy ordered fried Zucchini strips. They were quite good but a bit too much for us to finish. It was a Texas sized portion!



There we are! Nancy ate like a bird. Me, I was hungry!

Stairs and lobster buoys going up to the outside deck, which is now closed until next summer



Walking past the side of the building heading outback towards this . . .




We really had such a nice, relaxing day. First we went to New Castle, then Petey's, and finally Target (for an emergency curling iron), before it was off to the train station. Since the Boston bound Downeaster came through at 2:06 we didn't have much time to waste, and for a moment I thought she actually might miss it! No such luck.

Hopefully I'll get to see you again next year Nancy!

Open For Business : )


When I was working at the beach I had to drive by this little spot every morning. On this particular day there happened to be 2 ships waiting to come into Portsmouth and dock. If the tide is low or another ship is already docked they will have to sit and wait. In this case, it was low tide.



Much of Rye beach either has houses or rock walls to block your view but there are a few exceptions and this is one. Wish it were my house blocking the view. ha haa!






The ducks seem to find this a wonderful place to languish and find a quick meal.





For a long time after 9/11 there were Coast Guard boats milling around these tankers 24/7 to be sure they were kept safe. As you can see it doesn't appear to be a big issue anymore.




This is the view looking inland on the other side of the bridge (sorry about the dumpster, it couldn't be helped).

And to our right we have . . .


PETEYS!

When Petey's opens (which they hadn't yet when I took these pictures) it's like another one of those small signs of Spring. Being that it's their first week-end open culminating with the fact we are having gorgeous weather you can best believe it will be busy!

One day I promise to take you there for lunch. It's just a small place but boy can they pack 'em in. The cars line the road and even the take out wait can be an hour or more! I guess that tells you something. Love their Seafood Chowdah!

Is it lunch time yet?
