New American Restaurants near Derry, NH

“Last night, we visited the Foundation Tavern in Derry, NH. The parking lot was small and tight, which may make alternative parking options preferable. Upon entering, the music volume was high; as a hearing aid user, I found the sound sensitivity increased. The hostess confirmed there was live music and accommodated our request to be seated away from it, so we sat in the main dining room.
Our server introduced herself and promptly took our drink order, despite the dining room being busy and her serving alone. Having dined at many restaurants over the years, we were understanding of any minor mistakes. I requested a different bottle of wine after initially ordering the wrong one, and the change was handled without issue.
When she inquired about appetizers, we declined and ordered dinner. My wife chose the burger, while I selected the Bolognese. Our meals arrived quickly; however, my wife's burger was served without a bun. This was due to the assumption that her side salad indicated a low-carb preference instead of fries. Morgan, our server, checked in and corrected the plating promptly. My wife noted that the burger was especially well-prepared, and I found the Bolognese comparable to those of high-end Italian restaurants.
The evening was enjoyable overall. Other customers contributed to a positive atmosphere, including a nearby birthday celebration and a guest complimenting my wife's outfit.
Pricing was about 20% higher than average local restaurants, which we considered justified based on the quality provided.
We will visit again. Probably on a Wednesday night because they offer half price bottle of wine with dinner and we are wind drinkers.“

“My friends and I ordered a special, the Ribeye., w/asparus and mine had their specialty mashed potato. We all agreed how amazingly tender and cooked to perfection they were. Asparagus was the best I've had in a long time and the Mashed so yummy I kept wanting more.“

“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.“

“Wish I had discovered this restaurant a year ago when i first came to Derry, I'm going to miss it when I go.“

“Dinner was fresh and delicious!“

“I’ve been meaning to get here for years and FINALLY did today! My husband had a NE Hazy IPA that was great! (forget what it’s called) He said his appetizer, cheese dip with tortilla chips, was very good. My garden salad with tri tip steak was so delicious! The salad veggies were fresh and balsamic vinegrette was tangy and tasty, the steak marinade was really yummy, and the steak was cooked as I requested. Met the owner and chatted with him for a bit. A great addition to the downtown Nashua scene!“

“Great expanse at the Rambling house! Food and drinks, were great. We were able to spend a beautiful afternoon on the outside terrace overlooking the river. Our waiter Andrew was great always very attentive, polite. Andrew spent some time with us talking about the origins of the restaurant, wonderful September afternoon. Thank you, Andrew.“

“Food was great and the staff was so friendly!!! We had Natasha as a server and she was amazing. If I wasn’t traveling from Florida I’d be back for sure. Thanks again yall!“

“The first two times I was here was for lunch. Enjoy the food and the service. This time, my wife and I were staying close and decided to go for dinner. We sat and ordered, and it all seemed rushed as if it were timed. The food came really fast and wasn't as good as the lunches. We decided to split a dessert, and we sat and waited, which made it more bizarre. They did take the dessert off the bill on their own, and it was appreciated. I will be going back probably for lunch.“

“excellent, grilled chicken Cesar salad“

“I was just here today, among many other times, but I have so much respect for the owner and her staff. The food is quick, the drinks are good, but due to the location, there is an influx of hungry folks. A gentleman came in asking for French fries, although I offered to pay for his fries but was asked not to, the way this woman handled the situation was impeccable. She treated him like an actual human when most do not. She packed up his fries, got him anything he needed, and even threw in some extra fries for him to have. I have NEVER had a bad experience here and this just solidified for me the integrity and honor this owner has. Love being here!!!!“

“Gluten free pancakes…. My fav!!!!“

“Delicious food and great service! My kids love going here for breakfast or brunch. This location isn't open for dinner. Well priced, too! Awesome atmosphere with nostalgic booths and decorations. No shellfish fried here so allergy safe for me!
Do yourself a favor and try one of their yummy frappes!“

“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!“

“Hands down favorite bar in Nashua! Bartenders are the best, and the food is delicious!“

“Amazing pizza from their wood-fired oven. Great drinks!! Highly recommend!“

“The good is always great and hot! The pizza and wings are the best. The best thing about Rocco's besides the delicious food is the service. We always ask for Patrick the waiter. Never had a waiter that is as awesome as he is. He truly loves his guests and is a pleasure to talk with. Rocco's has a gem with Patrick working there.“
