50 Best American Restaurants near Stratham

“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!“

Our waiter Andrew kept us content with making sure everything was fine with the appetizers drinks entrees and the dessert. The food was amazing. The duck was excellent and my husband's short ribs were delicious. I would definitely go back again.

“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.“

“Went this evening with a group of friends on our travels back to Canada from vacation! What a hidden gem. Staff super friendly, service fast and food outstanding. Large portions, delicious desserts! Well worth it! Would highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Always great food and service. Friendly owners oversee the operation hands on. Would recommend to you“

“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!“

“Shout out to Joe tonight for the best grilled chicken ceaser salad ever!! It was delicious!!“

“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!“

“Amazing food, but even better service. Everyone was so happy there. What a nice change of pace!“

“almost perfect.large menu.“

“We can’t get enough of the amazing excellence of this establishment. I honestly can’t think of anything I don’t love about this place! I feel like VIP every time I dine here! From Kevin to Carlos to Dylan and all the beautiful staff here, it’s an experience to remember. We think they put crack cocaine in the chicken fingers they are so good! I am craving the clam chowda as I write this. Oh, and did I mention my favorite singer of all time? @lewisgoodwinmusic plays here night and day?The ocean view and breeze are not to shabby either. Please don’t take my word for it, come check it out!“

“Great food time and time again!“

“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!“

“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 husband I have been going every Friday for dinner for over a year. We could see changes that we did not like after they changed managers,but still, we enjoyed the fact that one particular Server knew my husband's food allergy and was careful to check with the kitchen. After a year of being good customers who tip generously, we had one last discouraging experience with Red's . They have little regard for good customers.“

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

“Last night we had dinner at the Purple Urchin and had a great experience. We were seated by a very nice young lady in a window seat, which was awesome.

Then we were greeted by Noah, who was very pleasant. He took our order, smiled, and so friendly. THANK YOU!!

We ordered a beer, Coconut shrimp, lobster Rangoon's, and pretzel bites. Everything was PERFECT!! We cleaned the plates for sure.

Overall environment and experience was outstanding and would highly recommend it to friends!!“

“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.“

“Great grocery store, restaurants, Movie theater and exercise facilities all walkable from Veridian Residences!“

“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“

“Found a gem of a breakfast place yesterday! The Golden Egg Diner! We had the omletts, with home fries and grilled english muffins. It's been a long time since we've enjoyed a breakfast out like we did. We even had a great cup of coffee!! Food was delish, hot and plentiful! Awsome service! Restaurant very clean as well as restrooms ! We will definitely be back!“

“The fried dough it's the best on the beach“

“Visited here our last trip to main and it's one of the places we're excited to visit again soon! The atmosphere was fun, the mug club shows they have a lot of regulars. We would join if we lived near by. The food was great, and the drinks were made to perfection! Especially that coconut cosmo (not sure what it was called), My girl loved it. The fish and chips and nachos“

“Great choice for daily dining! Reasonable prices, good size portions and great flavor!“
