13 Best American Restaurants near New London

“An all-around wonderful dining experience at The Oak Room NH in New London, NH for my guys Birthday, from the kind greetings from Sam when we arrived to the absolute super attentive service from our waitress Emily, couldn't be any happier. Started with some warm foccacia and a charcuterie board. For the entree, we shared the bone in pork chop with truffle mashed, mushrooms, and caramelized parsnips. Everything was flavored, perfect, and the pork was cooked perfectly. We will absolutely visit again in the future for any of our special occasions.“

“I'm only a few hours into my experience at this inn and can't wait to come back! :) The staff is so incredibly friendly!!!! I am here for work, and am looking forward to the next time I can come here! :)“

“It's great food. But listen...for 3.29 cents per cup of coffee you can probably afford to give people a TO GO cup with some coffee in it when they leave. If someone burns themselves trying to pour their leftover coffee into a TO GO cup that could be a real nightmare. Don't be so cheap.“

“We have been going to Henry’s since mid summer. Some of the past reviews are not too favorable. However, a new chef arrived mid-late summer and his menu definitely changed offerings for the better. There are now two chefs working together and the meals have been delicious. The room is lovely with an old world updated feel with a large fireplace at the back of the main room. The burgers are amazing, the salads are fresh and the other menu choices are equally great. The best part is the public may dine here too. It gets busy so reservations are a good idea. Thank you.“

“My wife and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon during the fall color season of New England (2021) and we loved it. Nothing but good things to say about both the property and the owners who went above and beyond. Definitely want to go back there one day.“

“I went to PC’s to try out the new happy hour. A friend from work recommended it. The service was great. The drinks were poured in an amazing way. I think this is the best place in the area. Come on by if you want good food, drinks and service. It’s a super chill place and great bar atmosphere. The bartenders, servers, managers, everyone totally gets it. Be careful because the volume gets high because it’s the best place in the white mountains.“

“Hello Hungry Guy in a Wheelchair members and today’s review is Flying Goose Brew Pub & Grille on 40 Andover Rd in New London, NH … We drove into the Flying Goose with high hopes — and the handicap parking situation started us off right. Plenty of wide, accessible spot and a smooth path right up to the entrance. Thumbs-up there. Inside, though, we hit a bump. The accessible dining room is there, but their choice of tables makes it a challenge for wheelchair diners. Luckily, our waitress came in, saw the situation for what it was, and got us seated properly. Total save. Once seated, things picked up. Our waitress was warm, apologetic about the mix-up, and stayed attentive throughout the meal — a real bright spot. The vibe inside is homey and packed with quirky antiques and collectibles, which adds charm if you like a little visual adventure with your food. Now, the food… i order the Vegetable and Herb Soup.. you could tell it was Fresh, rustic, and comforting. You could taste the garden in every spoonful — not overly salted, which let the herbs and veggies shine. A nice warm-up for a chilly NH day, as well as New England Quahog which has that classic chowder vibe, thick and briny with big chunks of clam. It was hearty and satisfying, hit the spot just right if you’re craving a taste of the coast. My friend Anna Costa-Turner got the Emalie’s Wrap – A refreshing change-up. Grilled veggies, greens, and cheese wrapped tight and toasted just enough for a little crisp. Light, fresh, and satisfying. Would’ve liked a bit more sauce inside, but it still worked. And finally my mom order the Chicken Pot Pie Empanadas – This was a fun twist on comfort food. Flaky on the outside, creamy and savory inside. Think handheld pot pie with a little crunch. Tasty, though could’ve used a touch more seasoning for a bigger flavor pop. My mom also ordered the Vegetarian Chili – Rich, smoky, and packed with beans and veggies. No meat? No problem. This one held its own. Good spice level — warm, not overwhelming — and perfect for the cooler season. Tempting dessert menu, but we all passed. Maybe next time. Access into the restaurant is solid, but table accessibility needs work. Hosts should be trained to accommodate and listen — especially when a diner knows what works for them. Staff attentiveness helped recover the experience but Worth a stop, especially if you like a funky atmosphere, but go in ready to advocate for your seating needs. Overall, The Flying Goose for me gets a 6.6/10“

“The Millstone is a restaurant which has the earmarks of a fine Boston or NYCity restaurant! And right here in the heart of New London, NH. Years ago, it was the Players Tavern. And to this day, it continues to be a special place!“
