39 Best American Restaurants near Atkinson

“Stopped in last night with a large group of family and friends after attending a wake. It was getting late and we were all hungry and tired, so everyone was looking forward to sitting down, having a good meal, and unwinding with a cocktail.

Our server was wonderful, the food came out quickly, and the portions were generous enough that many of us brought home leftovers for another meal. There was also acoustic music playing, which added a really nice touch—it was enjoyable without being too loud, and we could still easily hear each other across the table.

Overall, it was a comfortable and welcoming place to spend the evening without feeling rushed or like we were inconveniencing anyone. Five stars for sure!“

“My in-laws often stay at ACC when they are in town which brings us to the restaurant often. Service and food can be hit or miss.

Recently, however, we had Gina as our server. She was AMAZING. She was attentive, accommodating, and friendly. She catered promptly and appropriately to the needs of all adults and children. Her service changed our entire experience at ACC. Thanks Gina!“

“Great service! Great food! Great atmosphere! Definitely worth the trip!“

“We stopped at Copper Door for a family dinner after a long day at Canobie, and I have to give a HUGE shoutout to our server, Jenny, and the manager, Sherry.

Jenny was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We had our two little girls with us after a very full day, and she was incredibly patient, kind, attentive, and genuinely sweet with them. Anyone who has taken tired kids out to dinner knows how much a server like that can completely change the experience for a family. She never made us feel rushed or like the kids were a bother. She was fantastic.

My mother ordered her steak medium rare and unfortunately it came out well done. Things happen, and honestly, it wasn’t something we were terribly upset about. But Jenny immediately apologized and handled it so professionally.

Then Sherry, the manager, came over and absolutely went above and beyond. She was warm, gracious, and immediately made sure everything was taken care of. She removed the steak from our bill and even gave us a gift card for the inconvenience, which we absolutely were not expecting.

Mistakes happen at every restaurant. What really says something about a place is how the staff responds when they do, and both Jenny and Sherry turned a small issue into an incredibly positive experience. Their level of hospitality and customer service was exceptional.

Copper Door is lucky to have them both. We will absolutely be back! ❤“

The flavor in this Omelet was unbelievable and there service was definitely top notch... I definitely have a new breakfast spot..... Jimmy K's EVERYTHING about your establishment is top tier... Kudos to you all. Terri Noyes“

“First time going here. Definitely will not be my last, The Common Man will be my new go to for dining out. The atmosphere was excellent and the food 👌. Best meal I've had in a very long time. Thank you everything about the experience was fantastic!“

“I’ve been to Parlay about a handful of times already & it keeps getting better each time. I am in awe of the patio view. The food and drinks are great as well as the customer service. If I had to recommend anything on the menu I would suggest the crab cakes & the lobster ravioli!“

“My husband took me here last night for our Aniversary. He knows I love duck. We were greeted at the door and sat us right away. Our waiter Andrew kept us content with making sure everything was fine with the appetizers drinks entrees and the dessert. The food was amazing. The duck was excellent and my husband's short ribs were delicious. I would definitely go back again. We went early and still made reservations which I suggest you make as I heard this place gets packed on the weekends.“

“We loves Tbones and food always good. We typically go to Salem NH location and service always good. We have been to Hudson location 4 times recently and i wont go back. 3 of the 4 times service has been HORRIBLE!“

“Had work lunch catered with a couple day notice. They helped me plan my menu, gave me ideas. It was so easy. Food was ready and hot when I picked it up. What a hit, there was barely anything left and people kept coming up to me saying how wonderful it was. The fried chicken is always delish but boy was the chicken parm and other foods amazing!!! Love it there!“

“Second time back... Adam was our bartender and Nicki our server was awesome..nice atmosphere and tasty food and beyond generous portions....so good....highly recommend“

“My wife and I were in the area. Stopped for a late breakfast. Spacious, clean and friendly. Decor was local, natural and fun. Loved the light covers that appeared to be blue sky with occasional puffy clouds. Nice touch. Our server was amazing. Im not sure how her name is spelled but I think it was close to Ava (ah-va). Super friendly, good humor, very attentive. I did not have to ask for any of my 3 coffee refills. :) but not overly aggressive. I love dipping my toast in over easy eggs. First bite was noticeably good. I know you think eggs are eggs but my wife got scrambled and had the same reaction. Yum. Toast was hot and crispy. Bacon thick cut and crispy not burned. Average sausage patty. Thin ham with crispy edge was a nice difference. French toast was thick buttery with a healthy cinnamon taste. Home fries crispy with a light seasoning. And hollandaise was thick not oily. Prices were competitive not the cheapest but certainly not to expensive. GREAT breakfast :)“

“Great staff, with a warm welcome atmosphere. Veteran friendly, with pools tables. The owner especially takes pride and care into business. Well worth going to and spending time.“

“Such a great family place for breakfast and lunch. We love celebrating as a family and having business lunches here! Kind, efficient staff!“

“Visually arresting restaurant for breakfast. Had an English Muffin sandwich with egg and sausage with was tasty. The home frieds seemed to dry. The service was friendly and welcoming. Just a nice place. Plenty of parking. Right off the highway on exit one.“

“Always great food and service. Friendly owners oversee the operation hands on. Would recommend to you“

“Great beer and food. Staff was amazing. We cant wait to go back!“

“Had a fantastic birthday celebration for a family member at Dreo! We had an amazing night from the moment we walked in the door to finishing desert. Lisa, our server greeted us promptly, and reviewed the drink and dinner specials with us. The drinks were amazing and we ordered the charcuterie plate for the table. So good! Everyone loved their meals, especially the shrimp linguini dinner special. Everything was cooked perfect. Desert was great including a decadent chocolate cake for the birthday celebration. Service by Lisa was impeccable and we can't wait to go back!“

“So good, my husband and I have been here a few times. The food and drinks are good, the staff is friendly, and you get a beautiful view of the lake.“

“Pica’s is our go-to spot!! We cannot say enough good things about Pica’s!! The staff is top tier, they are all super friendly, they make us feel welcome the moment we walk through the door! We attend Music Bingo every Tuesday night, some of our favorite waitresses Rae, Kallie and Ella provide great service, a great atmosphere and create an exciting experience that keeps us coming back each week. The food is always delicious no matter what we order but we do love the burgers, chicken barb sandwiches and especially those cinnamon maple donuts!! We love Pica’s and Music Bingo nights so much that my daughter even comes home from college to attend them with us!! We have noticed that employees even come in on there days off to enjoy a meal at Pica’s because that is just the kind of community feel that Pica’s has!! We love Pica’s!!“

“almost perfect.large menu.“

“disgusting stuff ! the guy at the entrance under the influence and smelling like a 🐖.Not allowing with out of state ID to get in because he is suspicious . I don't recommend the place 👎👎👎👎“

“Very scrumptious and busin busin. Lovely place to eat and have great pickles for the side. 10/10 would recommend“

“The food was so good loved the gyros and falafel with tahini sauce ?? Staff are extremely helpful and friendly I recommend it to everyone ??“

“We had a great time. We did the little stroll through the lights which was perfect for our family. Then we had dinner inside and it was amazing.“

“I came here for Valentine's day with my boyfriend. They had a special menu for two for the night. We each got different dishes to try a variety of food. The lambchop lollipops were delicious! The entrees were also very good. I got chicken that was wrapped in prosciutto with a cream sauce on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes: delightful! The only thing that put a damper on the evening was our waitress. When we arrived, there were still many open tables, though they were mostly full by the end of the evening. We were sat immediately, as we made a prior reservation. However, nobody took our drink order or got us bread, nobody even spoke to us for a full fifteen minutes. Now during this time, four other tables were sat. Two of those tables had the same waitress, and both tables had water, bread, and their drinks, before anyone even spoke to us. Similarly, the other two tables sat also had water and bread immediately. We had no clue who our waitress was. When our waitress finally greeted us, we realized it was one who had passed us MANY times since we were sat. She seemed overwhelmed, even though the restaurant wasn't full yet, and was forgetful and incompetent the entire night.“

“Classic Diner that’s far above average on all accounts! You will not be disappointed 🤠“

“I took 2 of my sale reps to Haverhill Applebees for dinner and it was bustling but we got a table with no problem The waitress was fast with the drinks and everyone said the food was awesome. First time we went there with employees and now it will be a regular stop.“

“Always a good meal reasonably priced 😊“

“We were celebrating my husband’s recent successful cancer operation and we ran into Caesar, one of the owners, at the Amherst venue. He took the time to show us around and sit with us a bit! The staff was setting up for a wedding too. Caesar and his staff throughout the whole venue were so warm and friendly. Just such a beautiful and unique venue♥️Thank you Caesar and your amazing staff…truly memorable.“

“Friendly staff. Great service. Fun atmosphere.“
