Restaurants near Hollis

“The sandwiches, pizza, deserts, beverages, everything is tasty.”

“There are a lot of wonderful things to say about Buckley’s Cafe, but this is a recommendation and plug for their heat and eat meals. We’ve been picking up a couple most every week for those nights when we can’t face cooking, but don’t want to go out. Our favorite is the Chicken Parmesan - the chicken is moist and tender, and the breading and sauce are well seasoned. We also enjoy the short rib ravioli, tenderloin tips, and lasagna. We’ve also grabbed a sandwich and salad for those times we want to eat light.”

“My family has been here twice and each visit we felt like regulars. When you walk in it seems like everyone says hello from the staff to other folks dining. Each visit they've gotten the same meal Oreo Pancakes for the kids, a cheese omelette for the wife with a pancake on the side and I've gotten an omelette special. The kids preferred the Oreos crumbled on top as they were this visit vs mixed in. Everything is always delicious and consistent, keep up the good work! Pictured are the Pancakes and the Jalapeno Cheedar Sausage Omelette.”

“The best ice cream for more than 30 years of traveling throughout the world and living in various states…I come back to Portsmouth for the salted caramel chip❤️”

“Perfect place to grab a quick bite while visiting the nearby farms. The Poutine lived up to the hype and we loved the indoor seating on the upper level. We will certainly be coming back again.”

“They have awesome food and a great staff. It is always a great place to be. Especially now with DJ Trivia on Mondays at 7pm!”

“The early morning weekday duo of Karen and Bev is nothing short of a very well-ouled (and plesant!) machine! They work steadily and quietly until a customer arrives and on a or both of them greets them often by name (and knowing their order!) Simultaneously, on line orders are being sent non-stop and they're filling those too! Steadily, orderly calmly. At about 7:00, Taylor and Justin arrive, take their places in the "dance" and things continue in the same steady, orderly and very pleasant manner. They make their Dunkins a very nice place to start my morning and I'm most grateful, for their early morning hours, their hard work and for simply being pleasant and kind. There's nothing more important than that! Thank you!”

“Highly recommend this place. The owner is amazing. It wants to make sure your order is perfect. The cheeseburger pizza is amazing in my opinion definitely get it with the lettuce tomato pickles onions and bacon with a Ketchup and mustard sauce. Was highly skeptical when I first ordered it but it was amazing Definitely check this place out the prices are great the staff is amazingly friendly and I enjoy coming here every time”

“Papa Joes catered our wedding last night and I think all we heard all night was how amazing our custom taco bar was! Travis and his team didn’t hesitate when we asked them to be our caterer and what our vision was, they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our night so special. 💜”

“Excellent breads, croissants, and pastries. I wish it was closer but I always stop there when I'm heading in that direction.”

“First time trying Kava. The young lady behind the bar was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the drink. I really enjoyed it. I will return .”

“Love this place my go to for sure!”

“So good! They have delicious roasted meats on the spit and a fabulous buffet!”

“I tried a Wednesday Night Dinner for the first time and they hit it out of the park. Stuffed pork tenderloin, butternut squash, spinach salad and Parker House rolls. Dessert was their delicious cookies. Generous portions. Reminded me of Mom's Sunday dinners.”

“Very accommodating and kind even when I forgot to mention an allergy and had to get the bowl remade, so special shoutout to staff working on 02/01/2026! Bowels are always amazing and service is always fast. Also always has the best music playing!”

“I ordered through uber eats a couple times. The spring rolls are amazing and so was the BBQ chicken vermicelli dish with peanut sauce. Absolutely loved it!!!”

“I've always loved the beer & the new food menu is insanely good!”

“I finally made my way down to Surf after years of hearing amazing things about this place and being a frequent regular to all of the other Michael Timothy Group’s establishments. Exceeded my expectations. I usually only eat seafood at the seacoast (New England snob) but that is forever changed. Their clam chowder is top notch!🙌🏻 Buckleys cafe for my espresso, Buckleys Steakhouse for my steak, Lost Cowboy for my BBQ, Mike’s Italian Kitchen for my Italian, and Surf for my seafood. No need to eat elsewhere!🤭”

“They make the best bagel I have ever had. So good and super happy to have a place like this in our town!”

“I can't even begin to express my gratitude that this space exists. It's an incredible hub of local music, art, and fun, always looking to expand on how it can best serve the community. I always feel welcome, it attracts the best people, I love not being around drunks, I drastically prefer how kava makes me feel over alcohol, and I have a blast playing with some of the kids who have clued me in on the location of their secret treasure trove of toys. It's also great to be able to dance AND kick back on a couch to watch the talented musicians who play there. The open jams are amazing. The fundraising events are powerful. Mike is the man. This is, without a doubt, my favorite venue/bar, and I'd be a constant fixture if I lived closer.”

“I've always loved their food and wine selection; but today I also got my employee luncheon catered. Here's what I got for feedback: Thank you for the party, food was great! Thank you so much. Everything was delicious. Thank you, Kathleen for organizing a wonderful Luncheon!!!! Thank you, Kathleen, you did a great job! Food was delicious! The lunch was delicious! Thank you for putting on such a beautiful spread. Thanks so much for organizing the luncheon. A bunch of us came and enjoyed the food very much. THANK YOU, Johnny and staff for a hot, delicious and bountiful lunch party!”

“I think the soul of great food is in the flavor. And today i had the best, most soulful taco experience in my whole, long life. The Tacos De Choripollo Plate. Honestly an 11 on a scale of 1-10. Complex and masterfull plate of 3 packed servings of slow-cooked pollo and chorizo tacos. Juicy, meaty, tangy, aromatic, and bountiful flavor That and the corn chowder with a touch of heat, a bit of lime and jalapeño. Combined with an amazing and friendly staff. A beautiful family. This establishment is the rarest of the rare. What an experience!”

“We got married at The Herb Lyceum in November 2025, and it was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. The property is absolutely beautiful — romantic, warm, and full of character — with gardens, historic charm, and such a unique atmosphere that made the entire day feel magical and deeply personal.

What made the experience even more exceptional was the staff. Ariel and Elisa were wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and wedding weekend itself: organized, responsive, calming, and genuinely invested in making the day seamless. Our guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was and the TASTY FOOD . If you’re looking for a venue that feels intimate, curated, and unforgettable, The Herb Lyceum is incredibly special.”

“The croffle is a must try. Absolutely amazing.”

“I Absolutley love this place! The staff are so friendly and they clearly love what they do. The space gives you old farmhouse vibes. The food is incredible! My go to is the California chicken sandwich. Never disappoints. My kids love the Fajita melt and the waffles. The Flatbread pizza is awesome too! Farmhouse Cafe is an amazing hidden little gem. ♥️”

“Thank you for being exstremly kind and making the community better!!!! Everyone that works there do an amazing job and make everyone feel completely. I highly recommend this place to anybody! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Thank you.🙏”
