17 Best American Restaurants near Hanover

“I visited Lou’s Restaurant & Bakery that morning in Hanover, and it lived up to its reputation! I ordered a blueberry pancake and a cup of coffee, and it was incredibly authentic, with fluffy, fruity flavors. The atmosphere was retro and had a small-town feel. The wait staff was incredibly friendly, making it feel like dining at an old friend’s house.“

“It was recommend by locals. The food was wonderful. The wood burning spinach artichoke dip was great. A great local restaurant.“

“Pine is the restaurant for The Hanover Inn, Dartmouth’s charming hotel located in the heart of downtown Hanover and overlooking The Green. Pine’s location, elegant atmosphere, and service were excellent; the food was just alright. I enjoyed my salmon dinner, but my dad was disappointed by the size of his scallop dinner, given the high price. There are not many options here for kids, either, so beware. Overall, I would recommend this place for an elegant meal out, but be prepared for a high bill and small portions.“

“Very friendly, staff pleasant

Parking: Hard to find parking, have to park, pay and walk, restraunts took up parking spots to add outside tables, it maybe a college but it's still our town, at night have to deal with the drunk college kids that treat people like crap

Kid-friendliness: Wouldn't take kids in that environment in the evening“

“Was in town for a wedding and stopped by Murphy’s. Everything you want out of a dining experience. Fish and Chips were some of the best I’ve ever had. If I am ever in town again will 100% swing by!“

“I have been to Dunks twice, both times with my 6 and 8 year old sons. Both times the service has been exceptional. Tonight a gentleman named Ramsey was our server. Top notch. The food is always great. Eddie and Tim are great at their craft. I can’t recommend Dunks enough!“

“My dear friend stopped in today and surprised me with your tres leches cake (one of my favorite desserts!) It was delicious! One of the best cakes I have I have ever had! It was packaged perfectly and it made the 2 hour trip back! I can’t wait to visit your shop in person! 🤗“

“Last night we went to Jesses o celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary! I had called for some special accommodations I wanted. They did a fabulous job with our booth (which I requested for privacy and low noise level. It was a perfect booth! I had requested champaign be on the table in ice and chilled glasses. Candles were another request. The table was perfect and beautiful. Very romantic! My Huband's gift was delivered to the restaurant. It was sitting on the shelf behind the table. Perfect! The Managers and staff were excellent! A shout out to Tiffany and Abbey(manager). So very pleasant and accommodating. We have never had such excellent service. We have to many 4/5 star restaurants in our 50 years together (actually 52 if you count our courtship) LOL! So, congratulations on a job well done. Everyone (seemed to know about it) Even other patrons came by our table and congratulated us! e were truly made to feel special. I highly recommend Jesses for celebrations, or just a fabulous meal. They usually have live music in the bar area on the weekend nights. Which is where we usually sit for the comradery. . Always someone interesting to strike up a conversation with, sitting right next to you. Jesses is the place to be!“

“Title: Festive Breakfast at Pine Restaurant☕️ Review:During our quick tour of Dartmouth College, we found ourselves at Pine Restaurant, conveniently located right in front of the university's main park. Visiting on Christmas Day at 7 in the morning, it was a relief to find it open when most places were closed. The atmosphere inside was absolutely amazing, adorned with festive decorations that added to our holiday experience. However, it's worth noting that the food prices are on the higher side. I ordered toast with cheesecake and a latte, which was so generous in portion that I couldn't finish it and had to take the rest with me. My daughter opted for the Dartmouth breakfast, and my husband enjoyed pancakes with regular coffee. Each dish was well-prepared and delicious, making our Christmas morning breakfast a memorable one. Pine Restaurant is a great spot for a special breakfast, especially if you're visiting the college.“

“We followed Google map reviews and booked for dinner. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent- tasty and generous. And the wine which was recommended by the waitress was a perfect match for the food. The best dish for us was the braised short rib. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Although the menu is not too different from what it has been for the longest time, the dinner was exceptionally well prepared and presented. The bread was to die for, the bourbon glazed salmon was wonderful and the mouse desert was a perfect way to end the meal.“

“Had a great lunch here today. I got the blackened chicken salad which was filled with fresh greens and veggies and a piece of fresh pineapple! The maple vinegarette was perfect. My partner got the falafel tacos and he loved them! Definitely stop by!“

“I had the pleasure of dining here while on a work trip. I sat outside to enjoy the amazing weather but the inside looked very welcoming. Welcomed with a smile from all of the staff. Gary was great at telling me about the dishes and a little Thyme history. Food was delightful, perfectly seasoned and fresh. Make sure you save room for dessert and if you didn’t like me and they have bread pudding grab one to go. You won’t be disappointed! Hope to see you next Thyme!!!“

“This was definitely a good choice for us! The food was absolutely amazing and the chocolate lava cake was wayyyy to good. Our server, Ilena B. was so sweet and nice, very friendly and was right on top of things without being in our faces all the time. We enjoyed talking to a Buckeye fan! O-H… she knows what’s next! 5 stars for everyone and the food and service. Everyone was pleasant! Thank you for making our trip from Ohio great. Deana and Melony“

“I always appreciate 110 Grill. We have a family full of allergies and they are fabulously accommodating. Tonight we had service by Mira in West Lebanon,NH and she was the best waitress I have had in so long! Constantly clearing wrappers from the kids, brought drinks before we asked and was so sweet.“

“I was there 07-17-2024. Wednesday and they was serving Burgers. It was a Wednesday burger at Fort. The Burger was great nice people I love it. Thank you Fort“

“My friend and I came up for a girl’s weekend and we loved it here! Comfy and cozy, and quiet too. The fireplace in the room was the icing on the cake! And they hand a wonderful breakfast buffet. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming here!“
