8 Best American Restaurants near Keene

“Brussel sprouts were so delicious I will think about them for a long time. Actually lunch was great, too, but those sprouts. Wow!“

“I’m visiting from out of town and needed coffee; I was happy to find Cedar Run just a few minutes away from my cabin. The cashier was kind and didn’t mind checking out two orders - one for coffee and bagels, and another for grocery items (plus a tasty whoopie pie). The market reminds me of a farm store back home, and I’ll definitely come back before my trip is over. They don’t have a public bathroom, but there’s a gas station a little bit down the road; it’s worth planning ahead if you have kids or just want to spend some time hanging out and eating on their lawn. This place is a gem!“

“We had breakfast here for the first time today. What a hidden gem! The food was delicious, ample portions and great prices. Our server was so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back and want to try dinner next. Don’t hesitate trying it, you won’t be disappointed.“

“We had an amazing dinner! The food and desserts were so good! Our waitress Maddy was fabulous! Thanks Zach for a great night out! We highly recommend!“

“SO GOOD! My faves are the Rueben and hikers breakfast… and THAT PIE? Best I’ve ever had!“

“My husband and I took one of our besties out for her birthday. We all tried each other's food, and it was all excellent. The only issue was my husband's burger initially arrived with cold fries, but they were quickly replaced with fresh hot fries I couldn't stop stealing! Service and food both great. Can't wait to go try other things on the menu!“

“Castle Café — Whiteface Mountain

Reached the summit via the ASRC trail after a demanding winter ascent through heavily iced terrain, with sections requiring a ice axe on the final approach. The Castle Café was closed. The summit itself and the Castle building remain an interesting destination regardless, with sweeping views over the Adirondack High Peaks, Lake Champlain, and the Green Mountains of Vermont. The structure is worth a look from the outside, and the observation area is accessible even when the café is closed. That said, for hikers counting on a warm stop and some food after a winter ascent, it is worth checking operating hours before heading out.“

“Surprisingly good food! We were impressed. Prices comparable to other resorts. Our server was good and attentive although hurried. Hostesses were maybe more committed to their own conversation than to customers. Looking at other reviews, I think going off-peak might be key here.“
