35 Best American Restaurants near Sanbornton

“I’ve been coming to the “Pancake House” for years and watching it evolve has been incredible. The owner clearly listens to feedback and has dialed in the entire experience from start to finish.

The space: Clean with a rustic cabin feel and a massive evaporator for making syrup. If you go during spring boiling season, standing in the steam room above the boiler is amazing for your skin and easily the warmest spot in the building.

The service: They used to struggle a bit on busy days, but they’ve built a system that works. We walked in during a rush and food still came out fast. I’ve run into yellow jackets here years ago, but saw no trace this time.

The values: Everything comes on fully compostable plates and flatware with plastic-type cups. They’re fully green, and you can tell it’s a true reflection of the owners’ values.

The food: Best I’ve ever had there. They nailed every egg — scrambled, over hard, over medium, over easy — plus perfect home fries. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The gluten-free/vegan/dairy-free blueberry pancakes deserve their own shoutout: completely different recipe from the regular, sweetened with maple syrup from trees around the farm. About as good as a pancake gets. Kids loved the chocolate chip — cooked to perfection, didn’t even need syrup. The French toast was light, fluffy, and flawless.
Exceptional experience and worth every penny.“

“we love this place, best part is Sarah our server she was outstanding! <3“

“I visited UNOs in Tilton, NH and had a wonderful experience! My server was named Karissa, and she was incredible. Friendly, helpful, and was reliable. She was able to address my dietary restriction and help me find a menu item that was safe for me. I am gluten-free so sometimes eating at restaurants makes me nervous because I can’t always be sure my meal will not be contaminated. Karissa was able to guide me through the menu to find an option that wouldn’t make me sick, let me know how the kitchen would handle my order and eased my worries before eating. She even remembered my side of ranch! My gluten-free pizza was delicious and service was top-tier. Be smart and stop by Tilton UNOs for lunch this summer while shopping or heading north, and be sure to ask for Karissa!“

“Great food for a quick stop and great drinks“

“The staff were great, the service was great given how busy they were. However a situation arose with another customer, a regular apparently whom appeared to have been drinking and thought it was acceptable to create an altercation (in front of his grandchildren) between himself and 4 older lady’s, make a scene and yell at other guests including myself for stepping in and asking him to keep it down and take his problem outdoors. They were very busy and I get it he was frustrated, but this created an uncomfortable environment and he continued to do so to the point where we had to leave before our food arrived. I felt bad for the staff.“

“We recently hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner and Welcome Party at Dox and could not have been more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, the entire evening was absolutely perfect, and it truly set a magical tone for our wedding weekend. Michele and the entire Dox staff deserve immense credit for their professionalism and impeccable service. A special shout out to Taylor who did a fantastic job and was able to manage such a large group, flawlessly, ensuring every one of our guests was taken care of and had a wonderful time. The food was spectacular. All our guests were incredibly impressed with the menu selections, the high quality of the ingredients, and how perfectly each dish was prepared. We couldn’t imagine having a better meal in the lakes region. The setting was just perfect. We were able to sit outside which matched the vibe we wanted for our lake wedding. We even enjoyed some live music, which added to the fantastic atmosphere without being too loud. Thank you, Dox, for providing such a memorable and stress-free event. Our family and friends are still raving about the beautiful evening. We are so grateful we chose you to start our celebration!“

“Best restaurant around! Great atmosphere, food and staff!!“

“We have always loved going to Kettlehead, ordered the pretzel bites they came out extremely dark with the inside completely raw. The waitress was kinda and agreed they weren't right and returned them. we had 4 beers (all delicious) and two burgers. the smash burgers seemed skimpy on the patties but flavors were excellent. Over all was an exspensive 4 beers and two burgers flavors were excellent. would be delighted to see the quest beer back on the menu. has always been a favorite of ours and the waitress said people have been asking her about it all summer long“

“I will never go to T Bones again. I ordered takeout for a sick friend. All he wanted was a hamburger with sautéed onions on top No ff, lettuce, tomato . It cost $17.53 When he opened the order it didn't even have the onions. Pathetic service“

“Been coming back here for many years for good reasons. Lots of fun and food in the sun. Good selection on the menu of sandwiches and entrees. Entertainment and great views, of people and scenery. If you don't see something odd then maybe it's you.
Try it, you'll like it!“

“Steak & cheese sub and cheeseburger sub so good! All the food we have had for take out is amazing“

“Came with my kids and the food and service were excellent. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops which were amazingly delicious. We had the Irish nachos which were yummy. I had the filet mignon which was one of the best that I’ve had. I’m looking forward to returning soon.“

“My boyfriend and I went into the Derry location on Wednesday night. We mentioned to our waiter Andrew, that a few weeks ago we were in. We didn’t think that our double points were applied to the paybacks program. He looked into it for us. Turns out, the double points were not applied. He mentioned it to the restaurant manager and had the points promptly adjusted to our account. Thank you Andrew. We appreciate you“

“We absolutely love Dox! We are here every weekend and highly recommend it. The ghost pepper margaritas are my personal favorite and our go to appetizer is the cheeseburger nachos. We have yet to have a bad experience here! The service is great!!“

“They have become our "date night" Go- To. I went off on a limb and ordered the chicken parm dinner. Love the way the breading is so crispy and the meat is tender and perfectly seasoned. I just wish there was some good bread offered with the meal. Bacon wrapped scallops were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the middle. My husbands seafood plate was good. 3 sea scallops, 3 large shrimp and a nice size piece of cod or haddock. Our server was so pleasant and attentive. Thank you so.much for a great evening!“

“Melissa our waitress was great, food and drinks were awesome, the whole management team is great.“

“Alex DeLuca sent us! Top notch!“

“24 dollars for a scallop basket that only had 8 fried scallops is a disappointing thing to get after waiting for 20 minutes. being my fist time at I have to say it will be my last. don't disappoint yourself.“
