50 Best American Restaurants near Newmarket

“Imagine walking into a gas station to pick up a drink, opening the door and smelling your grandmother's kitchen? I just had to try the hand battered tenders and bone in fried chicken and potato wedges! While waiting for my lunch regulars came in for sandwiches, roll-ups and cheesesteaks, the special for the day. There were some picnic tables outside but we grabbed our bucket of chicken and took it to go! The chicken was crunchy and crisp while remaining moist on the inside. Such a treat! While the atmosphere is not fancy it's friendly!“

“one of the loveliest places I have ever seen. the owner is absolutely beyond gorgeous and the whole place is wonderful vibes and cute.“

“An awesome, cozy little spot in Newmarket to grab a bite or see a show. My wife and I have been going there for years now since they started doing Bar Trivia on Wednesday nights. We always looked forward to coming in and getting one of the chicken sandwiches and a beer and doing some triv. It’s always pretty bumping in there at night and the staff are always quick and friendly. We’ve seen a couple of shows there as well and it’s a blast. The upstairs is decked out with couches and chairs to make it a little more intimate. This is one of the coolest spots in the Seacoast area and I’d recommend it to anyone!“

“My family recently booked a private function in the Eisenhower room at Lamies. Everything was truly exceptional. Michelle and her team went out of their way to guarantee that our extra large party was perfectly cared for. I highly recommend considering the Old Salt for your private functions. You won’t find better service.“

“The location in Stratham, NH, has been my “go to” several times a week since their opening. I live nearby, and can’t help but indulge in the convenience of the location, not only for the great food (top-notch menu and preparation), friendly atmosphere (regular patrons who easily come to feel like family), and a staff that has made me feel like this is my “home away from home”. Special shout out to John, the best, most efficient and attentive bartender that I’ve known in all my years of dining out. And, without a doubt, I must add that Jess is also most delightful in every way. The management, host staff, and endearing wait staff (you know who you are) have made every moment I’ve enjoyed at the 110 Grill in Stratham the best of times. What more can I say? Drop in, often! I recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I get food from Franz every day. Soooooo F 'in goood“

“It was great! My husband and I went for our anniversary last night and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was outstanding. I got the ribeye and my husband got the steak tips and they were both delicious. Highly recommend, and we are already planning our next trip in!“

“Man lemme tell you, this what a diner is meant to be. Family owned and full of personality, with a short menu of inspired twists on diner classics, all fantastic and none overwrought. Standouts were the stuffed French toast, hoaty’s favorite combo and the pork eggs Benedict. Oops that’s everything I had. Perfect scores across the board.“

“Delicious food here; highly recommend stopping in for food. I was referred by a friend who suggested and I am glad to have stopped in today for a roast beef meal. It was delicious and plenty of food to eat. Staff were very helpful land the shop was very busy which means they are a popular business.“

“Excellent taco stand. The hot dogs are good, but the tacos are the reason to stop! Homemade relishes, homemade salsas, rotating/changing menu based on what she has fresh. Don’t sleep on the garlic chicken! The owner is sweet and happy to make things just how you want them. Prices are very reasonable in today’s inflationary environment. Nice little outside eating area, considering the location.“

“First time at Paddy's. We went for lunch and ate on the patio. Great service from our server Erica. On her recommendation, I had the roasted chicken BLT. Chicken salad was delicious. The cole slaw was also good. Not too much mayo. Husband had the hot n spicy burger with fries. Both great. Will definitey be back.“

“Been enjoying Rogers Restaurant for over 40 years. Nothing like the House Special Pizza and the atmosphere where you feel like family.“

“Have dined here a couple times and the food was delicious, great service and cozy atmosphere. When it came time to need to host a private event here I couldn't be happier with how Kate and her team handled everything. Kate cares and it showed from our first conversation, during the meeting to plan, communication in between and wrapping things up after the event. Her staff working the event were also very friendly, efficient and kept things running smoothly. You can absolutely trust her and her team to handle your event. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the Railpenny Tavern that day and wanted to come back. We couldn't be happier with how our everything turned out. Thank you Kate and team! We'll definitely be seeing you again:)“

“First visit and not the last Great culinary and wine pairing experience. Everything was right and delicious. I loved the kindness and humility of the chef and his team, as well as their real love for the products and willingness to share their passion. Bravo encore“

“Saturday October 4, 2025 I had the pleasure of having Lucy as our waitress. We were a party of 6, ordered dinner and drinks. I am not a beer drinker(sorry) so Lucy took the time to explain your Island District drinks to me. I left with a four pack after an amazing night of music, family, and good friends. Lucy and the team that were short staffed and super busy. She didn’t miss a beat. Amazing testament to your establishment . Looking for to our next visit!“

“Local’s has become one of my favorite places to eat on the seacoast! Wings are amazing, drinks are excellent, beer is cold and the pizza is out of this world. Don’t sleep on the salad because they have some real gems. Philly egg rolls are my favorite app too. The best quality is how friendly they are and it truly is a local vibe. I had my mother’s mercy meal there and everything was done with care and to perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate her life. Definitely check them out sometime, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Local’s for being a wonderful business in so many ways!“

“Awesome dinners and cocktails for Pink Day!“

“My favorite haunt owners and bartenders are wonderful food and drinks are always fabulous 🥰“

“We recently had our wedding at the Inn and it was absolutely perfect from the ceremony, accommodations, cocktail hour on the patio, and inside reception space. Kelsey the coordinator was very helpful with the flow of the day and helping us at rehearsal. We gave the inn many tubs of decorations and the staff out together our dream wedding. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding.“

“Overall, a nice dining experience! My only notes are that the pappardelle for the bolognese was overcooked and oddly shaped. I understand its homemade, but the presentation of it looked sloppy and unappetizing. Uneven, and wonky cuts made it look messy. Was over cooked as well so a bit mushy.

Sophie was great and attentive without hovering.

Would try again and get something else on the menu“

“Food was amazing. But the staff was not really the greatest. This guy came walking over to me and my friends table told us we cant order at the table because he only wanted us to order our food and drinks at the bar he was wearing sleep short red tshirt and look like he just got out of bed face was very scruffy. We got no drink specials I asked for a greatful dead watched him make it was made very poorly he kept asking my friend over and over what she wanted and didn't know what she wanted she was try to talk because we never been there so we didn't know any drink specials so he kept cutting her off shoves a menu at us we ordered and went back where we wanted to sit. I watched and noticed how customers were going behind the bar putting bottles in the bin the guy left the bar unattended twice. The place ok it was just dark and sad. At lease it was clean nothing like on there website but the food was the only thing great. I would go back if I knew who was a employee and they were nicer and cleaner dressed“

“A+ experience! First time coming here and was completely blown away by the atmosphere, staff, and delicious food (especially the bruschetta bites). Sea Dog Brewing had it all - including a comedy night and seats overlooking the river. Will come again.“

“outstanding food and atmosphere“

“We ordered the ribeye and some fried shrimp
Both were amazing and super flavorful and the ribeye was cooked perfectly!

Our server was such a sweet lady — super cute, polite, cheerful and honestly made us want to invite her to sit with us and chat haha“

“Service was great. Several times I've been there and had to send something back. Once was a riblets plate with honey barbecue sauce. A side salad was ordered. Instead got a riblet plate with spicy hot barbecue sauce and fries. I ordered steak and had to send it back repeatedly because it was rare instead of medium, then well done. I gave up sending it back that night and smothered my steak with mashed potatoes... Either someone was new to the job or learned to cook properly.“

“They have the best food and very generous portions. Chicken parmigiana is the very very best. Can’t wait to go again and have the steak and cheese“

“We recently had a banquet for little warriors football, and asked local businesses for food donations. I reached out to the owner of wing-itz to ask if he would be able to donate chicken tenders, and he was happy to donate a very large amount. I did not realize that he had just hosted a team dinner for the high school team the week before. What Derek is always willing to contribute to the youth of our community is incredible.“

“The food was good service was great Madison was a great server very polite and friendly we had her 2 times very happy with her service very pleased with her“

“I am a very picky eater and this place is absolutely amazing! I had the bbq chicken bacon sandwich and it was amazing. The guys said the beer was good. Will visit again when I come back to the area! Our waitress was super sweet and helpful!“

“This place is fantastic. Best breakfast I’ve had since I moved to New England.“

“The Applebee's here in Newington New Hampshire is a very nice place to go The atmosphere is always great and your waiter or waitress will be very prompt in asking you if you would like anything to drink and ask if you already to order or do you need some more time in their very understandable. There's several people that I know at the one in Newington for servers in their amazing thank you to the crew at the Applebee's in Newington New Hampshire for making the experience there awesome every time“
