19 Best American Restaurants near Ashland

“A very cool casual atmosphere as most have. This one is a bit more rustic. It was not very busy when we went but it was snowing. The food was good. I enjoyed it. Some of my party thought it was just okay. The only problem I had is we had to wait a long time for everything even though the place was not busy. Otherwise, it's always a good experience at the common man. At this particular place I found a lot of interesting sounding dishes on the menu. I would go back to try some.Kid-friendliness: Place maps with jokes crayons etc. Kids menu.free Cheese and crackers if they are hungry...food can take a while.“

“This was my best meal to date in our whirlwind skiing trip in New Hampshire. Had the most amazing burger, aptly named the Tommy Burger, and cheeky red onion rings, ordered fries as well but couldn't eat them. In fact, I couldn't even sample the world-renowned key line pie as I was too full.The staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating.and the place just oozed character. And to top it all off, all for under $20. Happy days.“

“Just a classic local diner with delicious food! We stopped in for breakfast and just loved the entire feel of the place. Our server was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. The portions were very large and we left full. I think one of our favorite little things around it was the slight slant of the building that just gave it this "eclectic" vibe. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“After driving by Walter's Basin so many times, I finally stopped in for a meal today. I did not realize how large the inside of this restaurant was! The waitress suggested the Watermelon Margarita and that was super tasty! The menu had a wide variety of options. I really enjoyed the Rainbow Trout dish. Great view overlooking Little Squam!“

“We love coming to George's, always a treat! Although we live in Meredith yr round, we don't always take advantage of George's offerings as often as we should. The wait staff is amazing, fast and efficient! The food's always delicious and fresh. We're so spoiled to have the best of everything here in the Lakes Region and George's always reminds us how lucky we are!“

“Dunstan knocks it out of the park every time! I’m always happy to stop by his food truck on weekend climbing trips when he’s open for the season. Ask nicely and he’ll add chili crisp to most anything on the menu — I could eat spoonfuls of the stuff.“

“My wife and I number one stop for cocktails and appetizers seated at the bar, while enjoying the comfort and atmosphere of a rustic inn located in the vibrant college town of Plymouth NH. Like all of the Common Man family of restaurants, server’s, bartenders, hostesses, and of course FOOD, is exceptional. Looking forward to our next visit while staying at Waterville Valley.“

“Went here for the second time with my girlfriend for her birthday dinner. Our server, Shannon, was wonderful, and the atmosphere/aesthetic of this cozy little restaurant was perfect, as always. My only problem was I ordered the schnitzel, which was changed since the last time I had ordered it a couple of years ago. With the addition of the bleu cheese now, it completely overwhelms the other flavors of the dish. It was cooked perfectly and still an okay dish, but I had to knock one star off for that. There was also too much garlic in the feta dip appetizer. My girlfriend enjoyed her duck, however, and her sangria. Whatever IPA I had on draught was also delicious, and desserts were good as well.“

“The Panther Burger, best burger I've eaten anywhere at any price, though the Jalama Burger in CA is a very close second. The Panther Burger is deliciously chard and stacked with all sorts of delicious sauces and extras. The only thing I eat at Panther Pub, a treat every time!“

“Food was excellent (Caesar salad with steak tips, baked haddock), service was very good (Josh), but the attitude at the reception desk could use an adjustment. Indifferent, not welcoming, certainly not flexible. Other than that, we had a very good meal!“

“Just had a lovely dinner with my wife and baby here tonight. We sat outside on the porch. The evening lakeside view was beautiful, and our table was tucked away to the side, where it was quieter and more peaceful. This was perfect for our 2-month-old, and he managed to sleep through all of dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout, and the food arrived very quickly. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, steak tips and shrimp scampi and really enjoyed everything. Portions were also generous. We had a great experience!“

“We just had a very busy day and stopped over here to unwind after work. What a great relaxing place. Such a nice variety of interesting drinks and while the menu is limited, it is limited to things. They do extremely well. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you so much. The sandwiches come on waffles. The waffles are so light and fluffy, almost like poofy crepes. My friend and I shared one that was fried chicken, bacon, tomato and peppers and it was so good. My other friend had the lobster roll, just wonderful.“

“We took my Aunt here for lunch right before Easter and it was just as she remembered it. Good home cooking and we appreciated that we could order smaller plates. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We would go back again for sureParking: Parking was not an issueKid-friendliness: Very family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and access with assistance from the host“

“This place is great for lunch or dinner! Awesome view of the lake. The food is always good, and it's really cute inside, like a cabin. We had Jake as our server recently, he was great! Very attentive, our drinks were always full (including waters) and he came back to check in on us just the right number of times. 10/10 we recommend anytime someone asks us where to go!“

“Holy crap what took me so long to come here??!! First, I love beer.. HATE IPA. The lookout Red was awesome. Little bitter in that good beer way, amazing color and aroma, if I was not driving I would have put down 6 easy. The beer cheese for the pretzels, I would buy it by the quart and make it part of naughty time with my girl. The meal was the double smash burger. Best burger in the area. Our waitress was AWESOME. I'll be back!“

“Great BreakfastOrdered The Veggie Omelet w/Homefries, Wheat Toast, Side of Sausage.Great Prices For the Amount of Food You Recieve.The Place Could Use a Major Interior Upgrade/Revamp, All the Booth Seating Pads are All Worn & Torn Up, Same With the Table Tops, Otherwise Had a Great Breakfast Overall?“

“I got an order of the steak and cheese sub with waffle fries, and let me tell you, the waffle fries were so good. I had great young blonde waitresses. She was polite but a bit rushed. (It was not busy) My husband got a burger and some fries. He says it was good.“

“Friendly staff, food was amazing and not pricy. The atmosphere was perfect and had a cute diner feel that is hard to come by. Serving size was amazing and appreciated. The green lighting was the only thing that took away from an otherwise perfect experience.“

“Great food and beautiful location. Cozy atmosphere. The host and waiter were kind. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars for the service was because we realized afterwards that they never applied our gift cards, so we had to call and sort it out later, but the manager was kind and helpful.“
