5 Wildly Famous Restaurants In New Hampshire That Are Totally Worth The Hullabaloo
New Hampshire has a long tradition of taking care of hungry travelers, starting with the early innkeepers of the mountains. That tradition still continues today and many of the state’s restaurants have earned a longstanding reputation for both their fine food and dedication to making customers happy. Here are five of them that you’ll want to return to after your first visit.
Hart's was the Lakes Region's original farm-to-table restaurant when it opened in 1954. Still owned by the Hart family, the restaurant serves up delicious delicious turkey dinners, sandwiches, prime rib, steaks, and seafood. What began as a 12-seat establishment has now grown to welcome 500 guests. For more information, visit the Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant website.
Try to visit this one on a weekday if you can, as the weekends can involve a wait. But Polly's is worth it! Family-owned and operated since 1938, Polly's is the place to be for fresh, homemade pancakes and waffles slathered with genuine New Hampshire maple syrup. The views of the White Mountains from Polly's aren't too bad either. For more information, visit the Polly’s Pancake Parlor website.
Parker's Maple Barn began as a family-owned sugar house in the 1960s. Over the decades, it has evolved into a popular country restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. If you're visiting from south of the border in Massachusetts, Parker's is a quick hop over the state line in Mason. For more information, visit the Parker`s Maple Barn website.
The Red Arrow has been a staple of the Manchester community since opening its doors in 1922. Aside from the great comfort food on the menu, the diner is an established gathering spot that is adored by the locals. Celebrities have also been drawn to the Red Arrow as well, and if you visit, you might just bump into a famous face! For more information, visit the Red Arrow Diner website.
Aldworth Manor, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has an interesting origin. It was originally built in the 1800s in Worcester, Massachusetts but was later taken apart and rebuilt in Harrisville. While primarily an inn and event space, Aldworth Manor's historic main dining rooms, bar, and seasonal patio are open to the public on Thursdays (and Fridays in November through May). For more information, visit the Aldworth Manor website.
