17 Best American Restaurants near Barrington

“Drove by this place and decided to circle back and give it a try for the first time. Walked in to place and order to go and was greeted by Maraina working the bar who offered me true insight into the menu, giving me the low down on what dishes were what and her recommendations. After ordering the food she offered me a drink and continued with please conversation to keep me company. The food ended up being slamming. The linguica fries were frieds cooked in animal fat not vegetable oil and hadnplenty of meat piled on. The piggy grits was mt wife's favorite of the order, while I enjoyed the pig pile. Our order included 2 types of cornbread muffins with this crazy delicious butter. Surprisingly the side of beans was the highlight of it all. I mean everything tasted great but the beans were so damn good. I will certainly coming back to dine in as the atmosphere is great, the drink selection compliments the food and the staff are wonderful. Go see Maraina and give this place a try. Well worth the money and a trip from out of town.Kid-friendliness: Despite there being a bar in the dining area, I was there on a saturday night and the place was relaxed, kids were eating their food and relaxing music was soft playing in the background as folks chatted it up.“

“Magnificent view from this restaurant - you can see Parker Mountain, Sanders Ledge, Blue Job, and even(I think) Rochester Hill. We had burgers for a early dinner(late lunch?), and they were excellent.Beer selection was great, the food was great, and the servers were attentive. Everything was top notch. We'll be going here again in the future.The south side of the restaurant has a gentle ramp to the front door - it should be handicapped accessible.“

“The Woods Grille hosted my book launch party in their upstairs space and I would recommend it to anyone! Their hospitality was incredible, the food was delicious, and everyone wished the space was their own because of how well designed and decorated it is. If you're looking to host an event, definitely head to the Woods Grille.“

“I was a little skeptical at first as this is a difficult part of NH to make a go of a smaller/independent, quality restaurant - however that is just what Heartwood is doing. They are truly invested in delivering a positive dining experience at a reasonable price. The menu is limited, but that's ok with us because the limit allows them to focus and do it correctly. The food was presented well, came out timely and was actually flavorful without being overly sauced or buried/lacking in spices. I felt like Goldilocks finally finding "just right". The restaurant is not large, but it is clean, well decorated, the paint choices are lovely, the mural is a nice reminder of the area's past and the old vibe to the place is charming instead of rundown, as it should be. The fireplace was going when we were there as we were finally having a cold February day, which was a very welcome ambience boost, as a natural fire always is. I think Omer and his staff at Heartwood have a good thing going- especially for the middle of winter during a traditionally non-tourist time of year, they were still busy and now I can see why. If you haven't tried them out yet, don't hesitate - it's worth it.“

“Great biscuits n gravy. Excellent portion. I asked for scrambled soft, on point. Really I'd give them a four and a half. But not available. Coffee really weak. Almost like mistakenly ran water through the same coffee grounds twice. I'll see next time.“

“Great spot that my partner and I stumbled upon for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Their local tap selection was incredible with something for everyone. We got the sprouts for an appetizer which was delivered quickly in a large portion (we dug in too fast to take pictures) and my only gripe is that they were browned and crispy on the outside but hard / slightly undercooked on the inside. My partner got the meatball sandwich and said it was easily the best meatball sandwich he's ever had. I got the Patrick Henry which was also delicious. The service was lightning fast, my pizza came literally 5 min after ordering. With so many interesting menu items, we will be certainly be returning on our future trips home from New Hampshire.“

“The first time here and the servings were right for the prices, and the food was above average, which was great to find. This will be a place to revisit another time. Going out has got to be so expensive nowadays. It is hard to hold prices against an establishment.“

“I know the food is really good and the peppers platter is the best meal for the price it fed me for 2 days. The employees are very nice but a little pushy to get you out , had a hard time to enjoy and relax. That's the only downside.other than that we loved the food.Parking: Lots of places to park.“

“We came over here for breakfast since it was the closest restaurant to our inn. My eastern omelette was great (veggies inside were perfectly done), as were the hash browns. My wife liked having baked beans as an option with her eggs. Coffee was very good and nicely replenished. Service was good and friendly.Karen and Julio were a great team and really take care of their customers.Call this one a hidden gem!“

“I received what was quite possible the warmest welcome in the history of Durham, NH when I stumbled upon here on a very rainy day moments before closing. The "thumbs" (the better version of chicken fingers) and fries were scrumptious and just what I needed. Franz helped me feel right at home and very welcome for my first time in NH. Furthermore, this place is adorable, and you can get some laundry done!“

“I'm American Chinese, living in Germany now. I have to say, the place is intimidating at first, but the bartenders are super friendly and open. I love the atmosphere and overall experience. Great place for drinks. Was there during the Christmas break 2023.“

“Spent the week in Durham for work. I came to Clarks twice during that stay and both times the food and drinks were excellent. Got a burger with Cajun fries the first time and came back on $10 pizza night and got the sausage pizza which was great. Will def come back here if I'm ever in this neck of the woods again“

“my husband and I stopped in for a late lunch, I had the special, Guinness beef stew pot pie (which was recommended by our waitress Trinity,who by the way is a sweetheart!!! And my hubby had a bacon cheeseburger. We have never had a bad meal food is always wonderful and portions are huge. I always have leftovers to bring home ?“

“Had the Reuben on rye, french onion soup, jalapeno poppers, chicken Parmesan bites. Chicken Parmesan bites were good, basically Italian bread crumbs coated bite size chicken pieces with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on them and Marina for dipping(a little more Parmesan cheese would've made them perfect). French onion soup was very strong and flavorful but it was a good flavor and well made. The Reuben on rye was perfect! The jalapeno poppers were basically what you expect with cream cheese filling. Overall very good meal. Wonderful waitress was fast, attentive and timed her table visits perfectly. Food was quick from the kitchen. Atmosphere was casual and friendly. My friends had diet Cokes with their meals and said they seamed a bit watery. We all agree we'd be going again.Parking: Plenty of flat, door adjacent parkingWheelchair accessibility: Flat parking lot with minimal door jamb interference but might not fit anything wider than standard. Plenty of seating options to move chairs and get right up to the table. Judging by the hospitality I'd be willing to bet they'd help in any way they could.“

“Came in about a week ago, visiting from Rhode Island, staying in Alton, breakfast was delicious, although my eggs Benny came with carrots, odd but still pretty good. I'd say 8/10 , eggs were a bit soft , the sauce was perfect, everything else was great. The ladies working the front were prompt and very nice and laid back. I'll probably come back“

“Was there yesterday around 4:30pm with kids. Place was expectedly empty at that hour. Ordered a Junior beef three way for me and juniors and super three way for the kids. Wasn't expecting anything beyond solid and thought that might be just a hope. Boy, was I wrong.My beef was spectacular. SPEC-TAC-ULAR.Fresh, pink and warm.The bun was crispy and crunchy.The ratios of beef to sauce were spot on and mixed throughout. This was the best a beef can be. My god, I am drooling 24 hrs later. This sort of beef isn't supposed to be possible in New Hampshire. I was looking to scratch an itch. What I was served was downright religious.“

“Great blend of bar and restaurant. Delicious food and good staff made everything a good experience. Depending on what time you go there will be a college aged Cronus but everyone is respectful. All in all great experience. Get the steak tip risotto and thank me later?“
