“I was given the recommendation to come here and our expectations were exceeded! We were pleasantly surprised there was outdoor seating so our dog was allowed to join! Morgan provided the friendliest atmosphere and the best service. Bruce cooked such amazing meals, we finished everything! I wish I caught the bartenders name because he was exceptional as well!
Thank you for a great night out!”

“My friend and I came up for a girl’s weekend and we loved it here! Comfy and cozy, and quiet too. The fireplace in the room was the icing on the cake! And they hand a wonderful breakfast buffet. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming here!”

“The food was delicious. There was some confusion about being able to sit outside with our dog. It turned out that dogs are not allowed on the patio, but there is a take-out spot where you can sit outside with your dog.”

“One of my favorite places in the Upper Valley. We go probably every month.
There is plenty of parking and large outdoor area which is both kid and pet friendly.
Large selection of baked goods in the AM which dwindle by the afternoon due to the volume of customers. Would recommend getting here around 9 for largest selection. However, the flavor and overall quality fluctuates week by week. With some weeks being mind-blowing and others mid.
Breads also rotate on a 7 day cycle.”

“fresh homemade apple fritter this AM. My day is complete!”

“Wow, this was good! I highly recommend this place for their sandwiches. Fresh ingredients and to die for bread.”

“my first time here today and will definitely be back!!! the food was amazing and the service was exceptional!! Had the Japanese jalapeño poppers, pot stickers, crispy sweet and sour chicken and thay basil red snapper...fantastic food!!”

“had the best time there today celebrating my 80th birthday! 5 stars for sure”

“If you're in search of authentic Haitian and Jamaican cuisine, The Karibbean is a must-visit spot. I recently had the pleasure of dining there, and it was an experience worth sharing.

I ordered the Goat Curry, which was served with a side of rice and beans and their signature Karibbean slaw. The curry goat was flavorful and tender, truly a standout dish. The Karibbean slaw had a nice mild kick, which I enjoyed, but if you’re someone who isn’t keen on spicy food, I’d recommend letting them know when you order. For those who love a bit of heat, it’s perfect.

For my sides, I had the fried plantains and veggie patties. Both were delicious and well-prepared, complementing the main dish wonderfully. To wash it all down, I opted for mango juice, which was refreshing and sweet, exactly what I needed to balance the spices in the meal.

Dessert was the Haitian brittle, a coconut treat that was just the right amount of sweet to finish off the meal. Unfortunately, I was too full to try it right away and had to save it for later, along with the veggie patties. The portion sizes are generous, so you definitely get your money’s worth.

The ambiance at The Karibbean is warm and inviting, with a vibrant Caribbean feel that makes you want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was excellent—attentive and friendly, adding to the overall experience.

I had the chance to chat with the chef, a wonderful Haitian gentleman, and it was a highlight for me. Anytime I get to speak French, I’m thrilled, and it was a pleasure to hear about his passion for bringing authentic Caribbean flavors to the community.

Overall, The Karibbean is a gem for anyone looking to explore Caribbean cuisine. Whether you’re there for the food, the ambiance, or the friendly service, you won’t be disappointed. Just be prepared to leave with leftovers!”

“Four people with dramatically different ideas of what amazing food and drink is dined here for the first time recently and do not regret it. There is nothing we ordered that we didn’t absolutely love and it is a miracle that they are not closer to where we live or we would probably go broke eating there every meal…. I can’t say enough good things plus the staff was so warm and welcoming and friendly - we just can’t wait to go back. Five ⭐️”

“Best cookies of all time! And Katie is amazing.”

“my first time here today and will definitely be back!!! the food was amazing and the service was exceptional!! Had the Japanese jalapeño poppers, pot stickers, crispy sweet and sour chicken and thay basil red snapper...fantastic food!!”

“had lunch with you today after my VA hospital visit. Excellent food served by an Excellent Waitress, Anna! Thank You!”

“Service was excellent. We were a bit disappointed with our two favorite dishes. The Crispy Chicken with Noodles recipe must have changed as it wasn't as good as we have had over the past 4-5 years. It wasn't crispy and it had a weird sauce. The Maple Crème Brûlée did not have the rich maple flavor as in the past and it only seemed to have maple in the toasted sugar on top. Not the same delicious rich flavor as before. Simon Pearce's food has slipped in quality that we have come to expect over the years. The Cheddar Soup was Excellent and the special Black Bean Soup was good, but would have been elevated to excellent with either a slice of lime juice or topped with cilantro.”

“Food and the service are great!”

“My wife and I visited Shyrl's last week three mornings in a row. While the food was excellent, the service was fantastic. Shantel is one the most amazing people we have ever met. She remembered our names and other pertinent information about us after first meeting us. She is truly a gem!!”

“I visited Lou’s Restaurant & Bakery that morning in Hanover, and it lived up to its reputation! I ordered a blueberry pancake and a cup of coffee, and it was incredibly authentic, with fluffy, fruity flavors. The atmosphere was retro and had a small-town feel. The wait staff was incredibly friendly, making it feel like dining at an old friend’s house.”

“Great beer!! Great pub food!”

“Awesome staff food was amazing coffee did its job. Can’t go wrong here.”

“Simply amazing Thai food!! There were six of us so we ordered many of their selections and there wasn't a single item we ordered that wasn't wonderful.”

“We followed Google map reviews and booked for dinner. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent- tasty and generous. And the wine which was recommended by the waitress was a perfect match for the food. The best dish for us was the braised short rib. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.”

“The wolf tree is just the right amount of everything style, friendly atmosphere, awesome Playlist, fun staff, cleanliness and the drinks were on point. and I love your story behind the the name of your bar. Left with smiles and a little tipsy thanks to your Pina colada”

“Stopped here a couple years ago and have been craving it from Connecticut ever since. Just made it back and food is as delicious as I remember.”

“I love the new drive thru location, it is fast and super convenient!”

“My husband and I stopped by on a drive to Montreal. If we lived in the area, this would be a regular stop! The gundruk soup was absolutely outstanding - we've never had anything like it and are still talking about it weeks later! We also ordered the vegetable momo, sweet potato chhoila, jackfruit mushroom tarkari, and tofu and mushroom chili. We really appreciated having so many vegan options. All of the food was incredible, and the server and other staff we interacted with were super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!”

“Had a great lunch here today. I got the blackened chicken salad which was filled with fresh greens and veggies and a piece of fresh pineapple! The maple vinegarette was perfect. My partner got the falafel tacos and he loved them! Definitely stop by!”

“We were traveling through Vermont today and this gem came up on Google when I typed in “food near me”. So glad I inquired, their BBQ is some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Their Brisket Mac n Cheese and their Cuban was outstanding. Their signature BBQ sauce is amazing. If I’m ever in Vermont again I will be back for sure!”

“Everything is delicious and full of flavor. I haven’t had anything from there that I didn’t like.”

“This was definitely a good choice for us! The food was absolutely amazing and the chocolate lava cake was wayyyy to good. Our server, Ilena B. was so sweet and nice, very friendly and was right on top of things without being in our faces all the time. We enjoyed talking to a Buckeye fan! O-H… she knows what’s next! 5 stars for everyone and the food and service. Everyone was pleasant! Thank you for making our trip from Ohio great. Deana and Melony”

“I had the pleasure of dining here while on a work trip. I sat outside to enjoy the amazing weather but the inside looked very welcoming. Welcomed with a smile from all of the staff. Gary was great at telling me about the dishes and a little Thyme history. Food was delightful, perfectly seasoned and fresh. Make sure you save room for dessert and if you didn’t like me and they have bread pudding grab one to go. You won’t be disappointed! Hope to see you next Thyme!!!”
