Just had Christmas Eve dinner after skiing. Everything was delicious. The drinks were great and the spice maple wings were excellent. Wait staff was great.

If you’re a fan of a truly exceptional Caesar salad, this place should be at the top of your list. I’ve honestly never had a better one — crisp, perfectly dressed, and bursting with flavor. The service here is warm and attentive, making you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you walk in. It’s a comfortable, inviting spot that’s perfect whether you’re winding down after a long day or grabbing a bite with friends.

The atmosphere has a relaxed, easygoing vibe that makes it especially great for a pre-ski meal. One small suggestion that could elevate the experience even more would be a slightly livelier soundtrack — just a bit more music would add to the overall energy without changing what makes this place so enjoyable.

Overall, a fantastic meal and a great time. I’ll definitely be back

The folks here are very nice. The atmosphere is good! The food was mediocre. We ordered the house made onion rings to share. The quantity was meager but that worked out because they were very greasy and the three of us did not finish them. My sisters ordered burgers and I ordered the linguine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. I ended up with a terrible stomach ache and breath from the garlic that would knock you over. The burgers were ok and the hand cut/house made fries were also greasy.

One of the best cheeseburgers I have ever had. The burger was super super fresh and high quality beef, cooked to perfection. The bun was buttered and toasted perfectly. The hand cut fries are amazing and the pricing is super fair. Highly recommend.

Tried this place out while working in the area for the weekend. I ended up with the alfredo and it was very good! The waitress was great and the food came out fast. I will come back here the next time I'm in the area.

We had an awesome dinner 10/25/25. The bartender was awesome. She was so attentive and welcoming. We had a martini & a beer. Both were so good. We shared a very large Caesar salad. Delicious. We then shared fish and chips with onion rings instead of fries. Everything was so HOT. Perfect. Fish was so tender. Best visit ever. Can’t wait to get back.

I’m giving this place 5 stars because it was definitely a perfect burger! I ate half and ate the rest 2 hours later…cold and it was still delicious. I love hand cut fries, but I would have liked them a little crispier and more of them. My husband was being a little crotchety bc he was tired, but the waiter was very thoughtful and courteous. I will be dreaming about that burger for a long time.

We were in Waterville Valley for a hockey tournament and made reservations for a team dinner a month in advance. When we arrived for our reservation, they intended to have the children in one room and adults in another. While they had enough chairs, they did not have enough seating for their intended schematic, leading them to need to bring in another table. My family and another mom were at a table in the corner of the kids' room, which was fine, but left us forgotten about when drink orders were taken and needed to chase the waitress down for our food order. Knowing there was going to be a large party, as i mentioned a MONTH in advance, they only had one waitress on to serve it, and I am unsure if how many cooks. While the reservation was for 6pm, members of my family did not have meals placed in front of them until 7:42. The food was average american fare food, nothing special- my friend ordered medium steak on her salad and received medium rare to to rare. The food for the rest of us was pretty standard. On the plus side, they did separate the bills by jersey number so each family could pay separately. Since it was a large party as a whole however, gratuity was included on the check and it was 20%, not even the usual 18, which is what is generally used for large parties, which we still didn't even feel the service was worth. The fact the restaurant was pretty empty otherwise on a Saturday night should have been an indicator for us when we walked in to begin with. I cannot speak for the rest of the team, but my family will not be rushing to make a return.

Awful experience. We were in town for a hockey tournament and booked a month in advance and confirmed a week prior. There were about 30-40 parents and kids in total which was the number we gave them. They shoved us and another friend in a corner like a woman in an 80s movie. They had 1 server for all of us, and our waitress forgot about us because of said corner and it took over an hour and a half to get our food. Once served it was poor to mediocre at best and I'm fairly certain I heard the waitress yell at a few of the kids and they were no more rambunctious than standard 14yr olds when they get together. I'd rather eat fish right from the actual mad river before I go to this restaurant again.
