“Real hole in a wall vibe like bar. Also the toilet is a compost toilet where you dump saw dust after every poo FYI.
You definitely want to be careful driving to get there because of the long curvy driveway sort of so keep alert especially at night.”

“Hello Hungry Guy in a Wheelchair members and today’s review Trillium Farm to Table in Laconia, NH: If you’re rolling through Laconia and looking for a spot that delivers both on flavor and accessibility, Trillium Farm to Table on Canal Street is a serious win. Here’s my take on it from the lens of hungry guy in a wheelchair. Starting off with the parking and accessibly and right off the bat, Trillium scores high with plenty of public parking right across the street. No awkward hunt for a spot, and there are clearly marked accessible spaces close by. The entrance is easy to navigate—no steps, tight corners, or sketchy ramps—just a smooth glide right into the restaurant. Inside, Trillium has a well-designed layout with enough space to comfortably move between tables. No bumper-car action required (bummer for me cause I really enjoy that part 😂) They’ve clearly thought about flow, and it shows. Whether you’re using a manual or power chair, you won’t feel boxed in. Even the service here is great Even the service here is great. The staff is not only friendly but genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. Ask where your veggies came from, or how the fish is prepared—they’ll tell you and not miss a beat. That kind of attentiveness adds to the experience.. Farm-to-table is the name of the game here when it comes to food quality, and it shows. Everything on the plate is fresh and cooked with intent. You can taste that it came from local farms—not a freezer. ( you love too see it ) Whether it’s roasted vegetables, seared meats, or even their bread, the flavor is dialed in and well-balanced. Nothing feels generic or mass-produced like I ordered the Chicken Panini: now, This isn’t your average pressed sandwich. The Chicken Panini is packed with juicy, tender chicken that tastes like it was grilled within minutes of it hitting your plate—none of that dried-out stuff you find at chain spots. Add in some melted cheese, fresh greens, and a flavorful aioli or house-made sauce, and you’ve got a crispy, warm, flavor-packed bite in every mouthful. The bread has that perfect crunch from the grill without being too hard to bite through. Solid choice for lunch or a light dinner. Comfort food, but elevated. My friend Anna Costa-Turner ordered the Strawberry Basil Grilled Cheese This one’s a curveball—but it works. The sweet-tart strawberries and the aromatic basil create a surprisingly perfect contrast to the gooey, melted cheese. All of it’s pressed between buttery grilled bread, making it crispy on the outside and melty-sweet-savory on the inside. It’s a bold combo that absolutely lands, especially if you’re in the mood for something outside the usual. My mom ordered Beet Falafel Burger Now here’s where things get interesting. If you’re plant-based or just curious, the Beet Falafel Burger is surprisingly hearty. The patty is made from beets and chickpeas, giving it a bold color and earthy sweetness that pairs well with whatever fresh toppings they’re rotating in—think greens, pickled veggies, maybe a tangy yogurt sauce. It’s not trying to taste like meat—and that’s a good thing. It’s flavorful in its own right. Bonus points for being satisfying without feeling heavy. For dessert me and my friend got the Oreo Ball. Now, if you’re a chocolate lover like us, the Oreo Ball is a straight-up knockout. It’s rich, dense, and indulgent without being too heavy. You get that signature Oreo flavor—deep cocoa with a touch of creaminess—wrapped in what tastes like a chocolate shell, maybe with a drizzle or dusting on top for texture. The inside? A velvety mix of crushed Oreos and cream cheese that melts in your mouth. Think truffle meets cookie dough. It’s a small dessert, but it punches way above its weight in satisfaction.. my mom got the Magic Bar… The Magic Bar lives up to its name. It’s layered with chocolate chips, coconut flakes, graham cracker crust, and (I’m guessing) sweetened condensed milk that binds it all into one chewy, gooey, decadent square. The flavors and textures hit all the right notes: crunchy, chewy, sweet, nutty (if it has nuts—it ofte”

“Hands down, the best Mexican food in New Hampshire, possibly beyond. The street tacos (corn tortilla) and chimichangas are our go tos, and the margaritas are phenomenal. Waitstaff will make you feel like you’re family, and know their stuff, having helped me select food and drink options several times. If you’re in the area and in the mood for Mexican, definitely pay them a visit!”

“I’ve been a long time customer and patron to the beautiful over the moon farmstead. Every detail from the food, plating, greeting at the door, smiles from Lindsey, servers like Fiona, chefs like Allister, mixologists like Adam and the wonderful taproom girls Lola and Trish consistently have warm greetings and make it feel like a dear friend is getting you a drink from their bar. I’ve brought many friends to visit, have the delish pizzas and phenomenal craft brews. I’m grateful to know the folks who own and pour their soul into feeding yours. Well worth the jaunt off the beaten path! The view never disappoints and everything else follows the same tone. Please consider enjoying your next meal here and bring your friends!”

We recently brought eight Veterans from South Jersey & Connecticut to Gunstock Campground for a camping/rucking retreat.

Thank you Union Diner for the hospitality.”
