20 Best American Restaurants near Holderness

“After driving by Walter's Basin so many times, I finally stopped in for a meal today. I did not realize how large the inside of this restaurant was! The waitress suggested the Watermelon Margarita and that was super tasty! The menu had a wide variety of options. I really enjoyed the Rainbow Trout dish. Great view overlooking Little Squam!“

“This diner is awesome as well as the staff!!! Annie is the owner and knows how to run a successful restaurant! Her specials are always so good and the regular menu is terrific! It is open until 2 pm, so no dinner here, but you cm get breakfast anytime!!! The wait staff always get order correct, even with special requests. Coffee is the best around!!! If you want good quality food, come here consistency is always!!!“

“This was my best meal to date in our whirlwind skiing trip in New Hampshire. Had the most amazing burger, aptly named the Tommy Burger, and cheeky red onion rings, ordered fries as well but couldn't eat them. In fact, I couldn't even sample the world-renowned key line pie as I was too full.The staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating.and the place just oozed character. And to top it all off, all for under $20. Happy days.“

“A very cool casual atmosphere as most have. This one is a bit more rustic. It was not very busy when we went but it was snowing. The food was good. I enjoyed it. Some of my party thought it was just okay. The only problem I had is we had to wait a long time for everything even though the place was not busy. Otherwise, it's always a good experience at the common man. At this particular place I found a lot of interesting sounding dishes on the menu. I would go back to try some.Kid-friendliness: Place maps with jokes crayons etc. Kids menu.free Cheese and crackers if they are hungry...food can take a while.“

“We love coming to George's, always a treat! Although we live in Meredith yr round, we don't always take advantage of George's offerings as often as we should. The wait staff is amazing, fast and efficient! The food's always delicious and fresh. We're so spoiled to have the best of everything here in the Lakes Region and George's always reminds us how lucky we are!“

“Absolutely the most amazing smoked meat I've had and this is coming from a person who doesn't eat or like a lot of meat. it's juicy and don't even get me started on the cornbread and beans best I've had. All around the best food I've had. The service is friendly and the music was decent. Will keep coming back!“

“My wife and I number one stop for cocktails and appetizers seated at the bar, while enjoying the comfort and atmosphere of a rustic inn located in the vibrant college town of Plymouth NH. Like all of the Common Man family of restaurants, server’s, bartenders, hostesses, and of course FOOD, is exceptional. Looking forward to our next visit while staying at Waterville Valley.“

“Went here for the second time with my girlfriend for her birthday dinner. Our server, Shannon, was wonderful, and the atmosphere/aesthetic of this cozy little restaurant was perfect, as always. My only problem was I ordered the schnitzel, which was changed since the last time I had ordered it a couple of years ago. With the addition of the bleu cheese now, it completely overwhelms the other flavors of the dish. It was cooked perfectly and still an okay dish, but I had to knock one star off for that. There was also too much garlic in the feta dip appetizer. My girlfriend enjoyed her duck, however, and her sangria. Whatever IPA I had on draught was also delicious, and desserts were good as well.“

“Our first visit!Our experience started with Online reservations and Quick seating when we arrived!Roberta was friendly and attentive. Good food and it was delicious. And perfect portions. Lots of choices and the specials made it hard to choose!We will be back with friends!!“

“Was a fun place! Until I walked out looking for a garbage pail to through out my beer and some girl working there ripped the can out of my hand and lost her mind! Yelled in my face "no drinks outside!" Dude as hell! I said it's empty! I was throwing it away! WOW! POWER TRIP!“

“Food was excellent (Caesar salad with steak tips, baked haddock), service was very good (Josh), but the attitude at the reception desk could use an adjustment. Indifferent, not welcoming, certainly not flexible. Other than that, we had a very good meal!“

“The Panther Burger, best burger I've eaten anywhere at any price, though the Jalama Burger in CA is a very close second. The Panther Burger is deliciously chard and stacked with all sorts of delicious sauces and extras. The only thing I eat at Panther Pub, a treat every time!“

“We took my Aunt here for lunch right before Easter and it was just as she remembered it. Good home cooking and we appreciated that we could order smaller plates. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We would go back again for sureParking: Parking was not an issueKid-friendliness: Very family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and access with assistance from the host“

“This place is great for lunch or dinner! Awesome view of the lake. The food is always good, and it's really cute inside, like a cabin. We had Jake as our server recently, he was great! Very attentive, our drinks were always full (including waters) and he came back to check in on us just the right number of times. 10/10 we recommend anytime someone asks us where to go!“

“Staying at Loon during school vacation week means huge wait times for super busy restaurants. We decided we should take a 25 min drive and avoid the mess in Lincoln/ woodstock area. Boy were we glad we did. We got right in a 6:30 for dinner. Food was fantastic. And service was top notch. Well worth the short drive even if the restaurants in Lincoln were not busy. I would come back here again in a heartbeat.“

“This was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Oysters with a variety of dipping sauces was unbelievable. Then also had a fantastic Seared Tuna app. The special for the night was a Filet wrapped in bacon with crab on top... delicious. The service was wonderful and the cocktails were great and different.“

“Great BreakfastOrdered The Veggie Omelet w/Homefries, Wheat Toast, Side of Sausage.Great Prices For the Amount of Food You Recieve.The Place Could Use a Major Interior Upgrade/Revamp, All the Booth Seating Pads are All Worn & Torn Up, Same With the Table Tops, Otherwise Had a Great Breakfast Overall?“

“I got an order of the steak and cheese sub with waffle fries, and let me tell you, the waffle fries were so good. I had great young blonde waitresses. She was polite but a bit rushed. (It was not busy) My husband got a burger and some fries. He says it was good.“

“Great food and beautiful location. Cozy atmosphere. The host and waiter were kind. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars for the service was because we realized afterwards that they never applied our gift cards, so we had to call and sort it out later, but the manager was kind and helpful.“

“Friendly staff, food was amazing and not pricy. The atmosphere was perfect and had a cute diner feel that is hard to come by. Serving size was amazing and appreciated. The green lighting was the only thing that took away from an otherwise perfect experience.“
