    Bavarian style pretzel, mozzarella sticks
    Jackson W.

    Went here after a long day of riding in Stratford. The service was terrible, 10 mins to even bring us drinks. we were starved and it took forever for appetizers to come out. I will say the appetizers were great. Bavarian style pretzel and mozzarella sticks were both very good. Then the main course finally came out. We all just got a large order of chicken tenders. They were mediocre at best. Then finally we got our check and left. we spent almost 2 hours there. never going back.

    we stayed here and ate dinner here twice - it was pretty good! i really enjoyed the tavern and bar area themselves, it's a nice place for sure. our waitress the first night was awesome, super sweet and attentive. the second night, i couldn't say the same but it was okay. i ordered their special maple burger and found it to be just okay, nothing too special. their carrot cake was yummy as well as their version of a mudslide. the tips were incredible - very tender and seasoned very well. they ran out of mashed potatoes :( but the loaded baked potato was a delicious substitute and i really enjoyed the broccoli. overall, i would definitely recommend.

    Bison burger and smoked honey maple fries

    Loved the food, especially the smoked honey maple fries and the whisky burger and bison burger! Thanks to Tracey for the wonderful service and making this a perfect lunch spot after a big hike! (Just did Table Rock - recommend that too)!

    Fantastic food, excellent service and tasty beers. We loved the bison and whiskey burgers, and the maple fries are unbeatable!

    Server was very sweet but the food was awful. Steak tips were way over cooked and the chicken was as dry as it could possibly be.

    Ever since I first heard about Super Secret Ice Cream, it's been on my must-try list. The concept…read moresounded so unique, and a flight of ice cream is basically my dream way to eat ice cream--I always struggle to choose just one flavor. The shop makes tiny-batch ice cream from scratch up in the White Mountains, and it shows in the quality. I went for the egg-carton flight, which came with six flavors: Slopeside Mint Chip, Trillium Coffee, Single Origin Chocolate, Honeycomb, Mount Cabot Maple, and one more I can't quite remember. Each scoop had its own personality--bright mint, bold coffee, rich chocolate, and the maple and honeycomb were especially standout. The space itself is a fun little spot, perfect for a hot day. Portions aren't huge, which I actually liked because it felt more like a treat or snack rather than an overload. My only gripe is that the flavors aren't labeled on the carton, so it can be a bit of a guessing game figuring out what you're tasting. Overall though, between the creativity, the locally inspired flavors, and the chance to try a bunch at once, it's absolutely worth the stop if you're in the area.

    You know how some places are overhyped? This place is definitely NOT one of them! Super Secret…read morelives up to every bit of its hype. It has won various awards, and after just one taste of their ice cream, you'll think to yourself: "Ah, okay - now it all makes sense." I'm finding it hard to accurately describe the flavor explosion when I took a bite of the strawberry shortcake ice cream. It was sweet and tangy, with a crumbly crunch in every bite from the graham cracker. It's as if the strawberry shortcake pops you got from the ice cream truck as a kid were somehow 10 times more delicious and folded into creamy, strawberry ice cream. The place itself is adorable, with plenty of options for outdoor seating both in the front and back. There's even a board where you can spell out words with magnetic letters and a giant checkers game. They've somehow nailed incredible ice cream with a super cool vibe. Service is always fast, friendly, and happy to help you find the right flavor by letting you sample different options. This place is a MUST visit in the Western White Mountains!
