The Roadside Hamburger Hut In New Hampshire That Shouldn’t Be Passed Up
The weather is warmer, the trails are waiting, and the road trips are about to get epic! That means more time in the car and it also means more time exploring what New Hampshire has to offer. Combine the best of everything by making sure you stop through Portsmouth to visit this spot for one of the best burgers in the state. It’s convenient, fast, and offers some wonderful state history.
With beginnings as a humble food cart back in 1940, Gilley's Diner is a Portsmouth institution.
They also serve variations on the burgers in the form of this grilled cheesey steak. It comes on crispy buttered bread with melted cheese, grilled onions and tender steak.
Or better yet, make sure to get a side of Gilley's poutine made with potatoes from Fryeburg, Maine, Pineland Farm fresh cheese curds and homemade savory beef gravy.
Gilley’s Diner is located at 175 Fleet St., Portsmouth, New Hampshire. They’re open Monday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Friday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Check them out online, visit them on Facebook or give them a call on 603-431-6343.
If you like hamburgers, you might also like sausages. Lucky for us we’ve got some of the best of both right here in New Hampshire. Check out this sausage cart to make sure you’re never without tasty meal options.
