23 Best American Restaurants near Center Harbor

“The bartender Lily is always great she's very personable and friendly and always remembers our drink order. I tried the wagyu meatloaf last night with macaroni and cheese and spinach and it was honestly the best meal I have had in a long time. I also like the little added touches like packing up leftovers for the customer, which most places don't do any longer. My husband and I always look forward to our nights out at the Canoe!“

“Tavern 27 is such a cosy, inviting tapas spot the Lakes Region and the community is fortunate to be invited back inside following the pandemic and Ray and Leslie’s other life adventures. We recently held an intimate employee appreciation event there, and it could not have been a more perfect experience. The atmosphere was perfect, Leslie curated an excellent menu of from scratch bites, and some members of our team had never been there before but I suspect are already making plans for their next visit. You have to be super patient and not in a rush because Leslie prepares every dish made to order, and they’re also rebuilding staff so things will take time, but if you’re seeking a memorable evening out, and are looking for a rustic casual destination, please go visit them. Support local.“

The stuffing was savory and well-seasoned, complementing the turkey beautifully. Side dishes like mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce were classic and comforting, rounding out the meal perfectly. The balance of flavors and textures made this dinner truly satisfying. Overall, it was a hearty and comforting meal that left me fully satisfied.“

“Hands down the best food in New Hampshire. We always make a point to treat ourselves to a dinner at the Van Horn dining room whenever we are in NH. I live in NYC, so the bar is high for food. This place knocks it out of the park EVERY TIME!
Cocktails are solid, wine selection fantastic, and the menu has delicious options for everyone.
The atmosphere feels transportive — cozy, cinematic, and straight out of a 1920s dream, like dining inside a softly lit period film. If you are in the area, DO NOT MISS this GEM!“

“Took some time to visit Camp in Meredith during vacation. My partner and I have never been and made the decision to have dinner there on a Friday night. First impression, we loved the atmosphere. It’s cozy and comfortable. We ordered drinks and each one was phenomenal. We ordered cabin dip for our appetizer and we fought over the last bite. My partner ordered the steak and I had the meatloaf. Both dishes were delicious and decent sized portions as well. I wish we had room for dessert. The best part of dinner though was our amazing server, Landon! He was attentive, welcomed us warmly, we shared laughs and he just was a wonderful smiling face. I would 100% recommend trying Camp out and will definitely be visiting again.“
