New American Restaurants near Newmarket, NH

“I finally had the chance to go to The Riverworks since the new owners and I'm so glad I did! I was greeted with a smile and sat with a friend at a great little table for two. We both had a strong and tasty drink and a beer with the absolutely delicious beer-battered chicken tenders and a charcuterie board. It's a really cozy, intimate place to hang out and I would go back in a heartbeat!“

“Let me tell you EVERYTHING was perfect! Our server Morgan made a killer cocktail and had a refreshing personality. Every single bite from appetizers - mains was absolutely superb! The scallops were cooked a perfect medium rare absolutely melt in your mouth, hands down the best I’ve ever had at an establishment. I left very full and very very happy! Absolutely cannot wait to return and am recommending to everyone.“

“10 out of 10! Fantastic craft beers, creative and delicious comfort foods, cozy ambiance, and fabulous service! We are former Dover dwellers and C&M is one more reason to keep coming back to our favorite NH city! We loved the chicken nuggets, Rueben croquettes, fish & chips, pork sandwich, and tomato soup. Stomp Box was the beer of choice and we liked it so much, we took cans to go. Perfect hazy IPA! (We live 3 miles from a Tree House brewery so this is saying a lot!)“

“Late Post: I always enjoy a unique and fun dinning experience and found this restaurant when I visited NH in early March. I tried a few unique dining experiences in the past and this was one of the memorable dinning experiences I had.Each meal is very creative and deliciously crafted.The dinning room (kitchen) with 6 guest seating. It’s truly fun watching the chef cooking. It feels more like you having a private chef in your house.First, when you come into the restaurant (but it doesn’t feel like a restaurant in a good way) you sit in “the living room”with other guests and enjoy a drink and appetizers, then, when the dinner is ready you finally walk into the chef’s kitchen.At the end of the course meal they provided each guest a giveaway bag. There were the tonight’s menu, honey and chocolate truffles in the bag. The chocolate truffles were amazing as well.I only wish chef had a little more time for interaction with us after dinner. He was already preparing meals for next guests while we were still sitting at the table.Overall, I highly recommend if you look for a unique and amazing dinning experience in NH.“

“A local hole in the wall tucked away in downtown Hampton. The menu is simple fairly priced and everything is made to order. Staff are friendly service was quick and we did not wait long for the food to arrive. Great selection of toast and pastries. No frills but worth a visit. Off street parking makes it easy to access.“

“We had a fantastic dinner. An extra bonus was watching the chefs cook, they were like an orchestra so coordinated. The sitting had 26 diners. The menu changes every week. We had bean soup, a choice of smoked salmon salad w potato or polenta with pork ragu, chicken with spinach or cod with carrots, beef with potato and red cabbage or pork and lentils, toffee pudding or funnel cake ( fried dough). Everything was delicious, there was not a single dish that we did not love. Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back!“

“Decided on a date night with my husband and as usual, Diverge didn’t disappoint!!! I’ve never had a bad meal here and usually recommend it as one of my favorites in Dover. I had the salmon and risotto, which were cooked to perfection! The salmon was slammin! The dessert was decadent!Nick was an outstanding server and the hospitality was off the hook!!!“

“Sawbelly burger, get it!! It's as good as any burger at Tuckaway. In fact it is a Tuckaway burger! Great brewery with delicious food. Not all beers are great but you can sample them and find something suitable. Beer flights are $13 and the pours are generous.I love the ambiance and the coziness of the booths against the wall.They often have live music which, most recently, was quite awful. Fortunately, the volume was low enough on the restaurant side to make it bearable.I love the service and, in summer, they have a huge outdoor seating area that is dog friendly.“

“First time visit and well worth it. Many beers on tap including several of their own, all which were very good. No flights offered however 4oz half pours serves the same purpose. The food was excellent as was our server. We were a party of 6 and were well taken care of in every way. We will certainly be back.“

“FURY's Public House: creates and gently cooks my favorite burger: BLUE CHEESE! I LOVE BLUE CHEESE. MAYTAG BLUE, ROQUEFORT, DANISH BLUE, SWEDISH BLUE, WISCONSIN BLUE, CASHEL BLUE, FRENCH BLUES, ALL OF THEM. ENGLISH STILTON. Have any of my readers out there ever enjoyed MAYTAG BLUE? This particular blue cheese is like eating silk - the fabric. Creamy, non-salty, not dry. But soft and lovely. So, easy to use. Very expensive, but so worth it. MAYTAG BLUE is hard to come by in New England, but oh my gosh. So, the Blue Cheese that Fury's used on my burger was NOT Maytag Blue, however the Blue they used was delightful. My burger was cooked to order. Not dry and overdone or RAW! But, just perfect, this is hard to come by these days! And then, they added the blue cheese. oh my goodness. So wonderful. They serve alcohol as well.“

“I love this place! My 3 visits so far have all been great. The nachos were huge and they use real good cheese but I wish i asked for jalapenos on them. The herradurra reposado was flowing and so was the allagash white. The buffalo cobb salads are the best. Please dont change them! They are huge and in my opinion the best salad in Hampton/Seacoast area. Tv's on everywhere for entertainment. Friendly staff.“

“Overall a great experience!! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, the staff were fantastic and friendly! Plenty of parking and easy to get to! Highly recommend this place!Parking: Plenty of off street parking!Kid-friendliness: Have a good kids menu!“

“We took my mother in law here for her 91st birthday and the wait staff and food were wonderful! We did not feel rushed in any way, and our food came out within a reasonable time and everyone enjoyed whatever dish they had ordered. Although I did not order the French Onion Soup, a few in our party did, and it looked delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Locals is a classic example of a sports bar. They have improved over the years but still stick to their roots. On this particular visit, we noticed how they hustled to keep everyone happy on Saint Patrick's Day. They are great at what they do.This restaurant has a massive bar, multiple TVs to watch sports, and games such as dart boards. Perfect place to catch up with friends. The drinks are STRONG! Each time I visit I can only handle one. As for the food, it is decent. If you stick to the apps and comfort food you will be satisfied. If you're looking for a drink and to watch a game, I recommend Locals.“

“One of the nicest places to eat in Exeter. We got a great table on the patio in the back overlooking the Squamscott river. I started with an excellent margarita, and then had the blackened haddock tacos -- tender flaky fish, fresh avocado, really tasty! It came with a side of cole slaw, which was also good -- not too creamy. Overall atmosphere of the place is charming, with indoor dining just as nice as outdoor. Waitstaff was great. Will definitely come here again!“

“This place is such a sweet place for drinks and some food. We sat at the bar and loved their wine selections. We ordered the brussel sprouts and a burger to share and it was delicious. Would definitely return for a table experience! Nice atmosphere to enjoy it all.“

“We stopped by on a whim and was surprised there was live music and no wait. The food was delicious and they were very accommodating. The wait staff was on the ball, we got seated quickly and checked on often even though they were busy. Will definitely be going back.“

“We lived in town for over 2 years and went for the first time and it was amazing. The place is way bigger than I thought and they have a big coffee/dessert selection. We were told the wait was 15min and it ended up longer and they comped an app for us which was so cool we didn't expect it. We had a popover, the ahi app (my fav), the autumn flatbread And the Monte Cristo. All delish. The service was the best part everyone was so kind definitely going back.“

“We definately will visit again.The server/bartender was prompt and cheerful. Everything looked clean and in its place.We decided to have omelets from their NEW Sunday brunch menu. Hit the spot with a couple Bloody Maria's and a Tequila Sunrise.Love us a local bar/restaurant and it is located inside an old Train Depot, check it out!“

“I really enjoyed my first visit to Street. My brother and I sat at the bar and enjoyed a salad and the noodle bowl along with a nice glass of white wine. The server was pleasant and there was a nice unrushed peaceful atmosphere about the place. I would definitely go back.“

“We’ve tried Sonny’s a few times now for both dinner and drinks and we always have a pleasant experience here. So far, we’ve really enjoyed any and all food we’ve ordered between apps and dinner, absolutely no complaints there. They have a ton of fun and unique drinks that are always delicious and easy to sip. It can get a little loud when they’re busy (which is quite often during dinner time) but the atmosphere is perfectly moody and somewhat hipster feeling which we really enjoy. Sonny’s is one of our go to’s if we’re looking for some good drinks and good American food.“

“The nook is just a wonderful place to have breakfast or lunch. My daughter's and I have been going for years and even though we always order the same meal (eggs benny) it gas always tasted good. They fo many things for tue community and the same staff has been employed tlfor a long time. Always friendly and “

“This place is an amazing restaurant. Our server Alex was outstanding. He had such a positive attitude & really made our date more enjoyable with a couple of laughs. The drinks & food arrived in a timely manner. Everything was delicious, I highly recommend coming here for your next dinner out. Thank you to The Farm staff for a wonderful experience.“

“Went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was phenomenal. We've been there many times and while we've had many good meals, this past week was a cut above. All meals were beautifully presented, cooked perfectly and delicious. AP many interesting and unique flavors. We went deep on the appetizers. The fried artichokes, and the wagyu meatballs were both a wonderful start, but it was the Tater tots took 1st prize on the apps. Dinner entries were great. Steak, salmon and fish special were all fabulous. And the pear cobbler was a perfect finish. We will be back sooner rather than later.“

“My husband and I frequent this restaurant for dinner and have never received anything but good food and great service. They have seemed understaffed occasionally (like many restaurants currently), but the staff work their tails off to make up for it. Great family friendly place for a casual lunch or dinner“

“A pleasant surprise. The calamari tempura was delicious and the "Chimichurri Steak" and "Cuban Swordfish" were impeccable. At a booth, it was easy to have a conversation without straining. The server (Laurent) was efficient, attentive, and responsive without being intrusive. Unpretentiously excellent. A memorable tasty and relaxed dinner in no more than an hour.“

“I enjoyed a lovely evening at Epoch last night. I just love this place every time we go. I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. The sauce was the perfect complement to the steak potatoes and broccolini. I would have liked a few more options on the menu. The cocktails were great. The server, Sean recommended a perfect wine pairing with my steak. Sean was an excellent server, personable, professional and very attentive. We will definitely be going back!“
