We are new to the area and we're happy to find this place. Nice comfortable pub with a neighborhood vibe. Our waitress was excellent and very friendly. My friend enjoyed his cold bottled beers. I was driving so I had a few sodas that day. He really enjoyed his steak fajita wrap and fries (we both liked the fries). I ordered a pepperoni pizza which was really good and we split an order of the most delicious onion rings!! I'm going back for the onion rings alone for sure, they are my favorite now. We look forward to visiting again. Employees and people were very friendly, nice comfy atmosphere. Thanks! read more

Cute local pub and great service. I never order beef at a restaurant but for whatever reason, I was craving it and went with their CLUCK & CHUCK Lightly breaded crispy chicken tenders and char-grilled marinated Angus steak tips served with mashed and butternut squash! The steak was really tender and flavorful, tenders were just frozen tenders and the butternut squash was delish! Also had hand cut onion rings as an app and they were pretty yummy! Our waitress Kamara was really good! read more

We went to Almost There with a small group and thought that it was a fun place. The rustic bar look was pretty cool. Our waitress, Kamara, was super friendly and amazing!! A solid extra star or two for her! The food was okay, but certainly not great. We started with onion rings, which were hand cut, and not bad, but nothing to write home about. I had the fish and chips. I found the fish to be a tad rubbery with a not so great flavor in some bites, but the batter was okay. The fries were the best thing hands down! There was a lot to choose from on the menu, so if I went back, which would be because of the awesome service, I would definitely order something different. read more

After traversing the 35 miles of the Kankamagus scenic byway we ended up thirsty and hungry in Albany NH when we spotted the Almost There. We were treated to friendly service, big juicy bacon cheeseburgers and COLD beer dining outside on a mild October afternoon.

Good Service and food came out very fast. Sat outside and it was nice and clean. Did was typical pub fare.

The food was mediocre at best. We sat outside which was lovely but you are only offered plastic silverware. Not even quality plastic silverware! Cheap plastic silverware. Our appetizer came out lukewarm. The pizza was probably the best of the entire shared meal and it wasn't great pizza. The salad was served with huge pieces of lettuce that we had to use a useless plastic knife to cut ourselves. Overall it was a fine place to eat and our waitress was excellent. read more

good food and good service. reasonable pricing and I like the place. It's worth going there.

Another delicious meal today. Had the special of Thai Chicken Stir Fry , which was boneless chicken sautés in a sweet Thai sauce served with mixed vegetables and rice. Amazing and the portion was enough for a second meal. The broiled haddock was light and flaky and cooked to perfection. Love this place. read more

Stopped in here for dinner, drinks, and keno. The drinks and keno were good. They should rename this place Not Even Close. I ordered the steak tip dinner. $29 for 3 steak tips. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and barely room temperature and the "fresh" vegetables were tasteless frozen string beans and carrots. My friend got a medium well burger that came out mooing! If you can't tell how a burger is done please use a thermometer! The staff were very nice. I'd recommend for drinks and keno but the food left a lot to be desired. read more

A typical sports bar in a convenient location. The service is nice and the food good. I don't think their burgers are as amazing as advertised though; I'm happier with some of their other sandwich options. read more

Went here with the fam tonight. Asked for a burger medium rare it came well done. I have never sent things back however I hoped that ordering medium rare I at least would get medium but not this time. It was so over cooked I didn't even bite into it. My father in law asked for a side salad to replace of his Fries and we were told it's not allowed. He ordered a side salad instead and it never ended up coming and had them take it off the check. He also ordered a double gin and tonic in a short glass on the rocks. They brought a tall glass and he informed them he asked for a short glass. They took it away and came back and told us that it's not allowed to be served in a short glass....what ? We saw them take it away and the waitress rolled her eyes. We won't be back. I'm kind of shocked this place has over 4 stars. I will say the prices are excellent and my burger the 2nd time around came back medium and not medium rare was tasty but that does not make up for the poor service and " we aren't allowed" and eye rolls. read more

This places food is tasty and priced right. I have enjoyed this place many times and will always come back. Tonight my waitress slightly screwed up my order and then took care or it however she dodged the blame. She proceeded to systematically check with all her other tables except ours until it was time to pay. I am still waiting on a drink refill. I hope she comes before my dinner is cold. So, she left with my drink to refill it and never returned with the drink. However, I got served my check. Appropriately adjusted just like the stars in the review. read more

This is a lively and cozy sport bar and restaurant. I stopped by the bar here for some drinks and to catch the Patriots play. Drinks are cheap and their seasonal pumpkin spice martini was super delicious. The truffle chips are great and come in a very generous portion. read more

In a place where there are multiple chain restaurants, it was nice to find a small, just off the beaten path place, where obviously the locals go. Small bar with two main rooms. We sat in the bar area and had a really nice waitress, who was attentive but not overbearing. The menu was huge and it had some good sandwich, salads, burgers and main courses. They had a full bar and a local beer, Tuckermans Ravine on tap and a 603 seltzer. I just went with the burger. Blue cheese, bacon and swiss on a buttered bun with crispy fries. If your in the area of the cog railway, stop in and give this place a try read more

A good spot for diner food in Conway at the end of Kancamagus Highway. Got the chicken tenders and fries, and the service was very quick. The chicken tenders were alright. The highlight were the fries. I absolutely loved the fries - they were so fluff and crispy. They have outdoor seating and spaced out indooor seating as well. read more

My hiking companions and I like to try a different place every time we are in the white mountain area. This was our pick this week, and boy were we not let down at all. It's a sports tavern and defiantly caters to that demographic. The inside is done up in New England sports memorabilia and fun tokens. There are badges of fire, police, rescue and more along the back bar wall. The inside furniture is very nice, there's a lot of nice wood pieces and a center bar with stools for a large group of friends. We started with drinks from the bar that were to be honest a bit weak. A bit more booze for the price wouldn't hurt. We then had a special of cream cheese poppers. Nothing too special or original but they were very good. Then we each had the chicken supreme because it just sounded so delicious. I'm happy to report that we were both pleased beyond belief. Some of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of eating... I can't say enough good things about their fried foods. Even their French fries were delicious. Their onion rings had the most heavenly batter wrapped around thing string onions. Kiss to the chef ! Kiss the person who orders their batter !! I wish I'd taken more photos but to be honest I was starved and just couldn't bare to put my food down long enough to snap any photos! If you're in the area, I swear you won't be disappointed. Yes the food is typical American pub style fair but they're very very good at it! You won't be sorry! read more

Definitely could be rougher with a devil may care kitchen. But Almost There takes the high road. Looks, acts and smells like a biker bar lite, and subsequently attracts that crowd - weekend warriors, warm and welcoming locals and passers-through. Get lucky and you'll catch live music (no cover), which will get your hip slapping in high gear despite the fact your pool playing abilities are stricken for the set. Menu is fry heavy, with pizzas and burgers. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich and the wife and kid split chicken fingers and fries. Mozzarella moons for the bonus dish! Pleased as punch with mine - double battered, carnie style fries and a solid hunk o' breast under melted blue cheese crumbles and a major buffalo sauce (allegedly XXHot but totally manageable). Quality produce and bun rounded out the $11 meal. Skip the mozz moons - two of the three pillows were burst and cheeseless. Le sob. 20oz drafts run $5.25 and the servers are seasoned charmers who keep the peace. Place packs so expect a wait, especially with a large crowd. How busy? They have a parking lot attendant, directing choppers and Kias alike. read more

Do not recommend the chicken temders or the buffalo sauce. Tenders are frozen and sauce was ice cold. Speaking of cold, the lava cake wasn't heated and had none of that satisfying chocolate ooze. Won't return. read more

Food good but don't expect them to appreciate your business. Was there 5 out of six days while on vacation because the only place that had Keno. Staff, including bartender, treat you like they have never seen you before. Even when trying to be nice it was just shut down with rudeness. I said to one waitress in an uplifting way. " I have been here all week and I haven't seen you smile once." She replied "They don't pay me enough to smile". Most of the staff are like robots with the "friendly button" on off. read more

This was a hole in the wall that you don't want to miss. It doesn't look very kid friendly but the staff is welcoming. The food was amazing.

i hate writing three star reviews in general, especially during COVID but it took a lot to bring me to three vs. two. everything seems frozen, the bathrooms weren't very clean, the service was subpar and overall just get the ickys. the pros? the portions? i mean the server finally brought us our drinks with our meal, the table was sticky as were the menus, she didn't bring my son a set up or plate and we waited 15 minutes for a high chair and by that time, he'd already gone full boar so how would we get him in there... keep going, there's far better around. read more

My wife and I stopped here while visiting North Conway. The place is more or less a bar that serves food. Pretty good food for bar food. We ate outside on the picnic tables and enjoyed the warm September evening. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. We were attended to but not rushed. We ordered the onion rings and we both had the fish and shrimp with fries. We were pleasantly surprised with the portions. The fish was done perfectly and the shrimp were plump, battered and fried to a golden brown. They were nice and juicy and not overcooked. The fries were crispy and plentiful. The onion rings order was huge. I'm glad we only ordered one to share. We were well attended to and enjoyed our meal. If we head up to New Hampshire again we will return for a quick, friendly and ample bite. read more

Fish & chips after such a long time! That perfectly fried haddock with crispy fries, tartar sauce and coleslaw!

I hate to leave a 2 star review but the food was only so-so and similar to another reviewer found the restaurant to be sticky (everything from the seats, table and menus). My husband liked his patty melt and onion rings but my steak and cheese was chargrilled but the fries were yummy. I ordered a drink that was very watered down. The server was nice but overall would not recommend or return. read more
