This rest stop that I stopped at on the way to New Hampshire has a lot to offer. There is a gas station, a convenience store, clean restrooms, a gift shop plus some fast foods such as pizza and sandwiches. My primary reason for stopping here in the first place was to use the restroom but while I was there I couldn't pass up taking a look around the place to see what was there. The gift shop was really nice and it sells things like hoodies, t-shirts, stuffed animals for the kiddos and a lot of other great gift items. They had hot and cold sandwiches for sale as well as a variety of beverages. I wanted a drink and a snack for the road so I stopped into the convenience store part and I grabbed a bottled water and a couple of small candy bars to have for the rest of my car ride. The prices there were maybe slightly up compared to a typical convenience store but still affordable. The service could have been a bit friendlier but it was a busy place and I think they were just trying to get all of the customers taken care of as quickly as they could. There were some brochures near the exit doors just to take if you want to get some information on the various tourist attractions and services in the area. The restrooms were clean, I liked the set-up of the store and I would definitely stop there again the next time I am out that way. read more

Maybe the Cleanest public bathrooms I've been in- Northbound & Southbound. Easy access from highway and quick service always. Nice people working too. read more

Unlike anything I've experienced before at a roadside rest stop... Endless choices, homemade, sweet and savory. Plenty of seating lots to choose from something to satisfy everyone. Reasonable prices as well. Delicious breakfast sandwiches!!!! Gluten free - vegetarian and vegan options available read more

Huge menu to choose from, they offered breakfast all day and even though it was 10am you can order a Reuben sandwich and that's what I ordered. I was listed as homemade corn beef so I had to try it out. So the Reuben was tasty, the corn beef was very flavorful. But it was really tough to buttery the slices of the corn beef. It was a combination of needing another 40 mins of cooking or they need to pay attention to how to slice across the grain on brisket meat, read more

Just tried the apple cider donuts and they are amazing!!!!! They were hot and fresh and yummy! The service was excellent and the place felt welcoming and friendly! I'll be back for more donuts on my way back through read more

I don't have a picture but i was so tired when we arrived here and I hadn't had coffee. I seriously doubted I would make it through the day, lol. However, the cashier recommended the shaken bees knees and I substituted almond for oak milk. This iced potion had 5 shots of espresso!! Yes, it woke me up! Was it delicious? I don't know, but it worked! Will definitely be back to this nice little spot off the highway the next time I'm droopy. read more

$12 for a cup of soup and a water, WTH! That's more than a ski resort charges for soup and it's small and not that great! service wasn't very good either! read more

Definitely a quick, safe place to stretch your legs, fuel up and grab a bite. Absolutely massive alcohol store adjoining to stock up for the weekend. I truly loved the grand piano outside the main food court as someone played for my whole time there. The food will do but don't expect too much on that front. High stars for cleanliness and variety. Service was expeditious and cleaning staff was bustling. read more

Our favorite stop! Love the cranberry muffins and cider donuts here! They're always fresh and tasty! Good coffee and hot chocolate especially when it's cold outside and the ground glistens with ice (they kept the sidewalks salted and safe to walk on). The seating area is brightly lit and clean. Friendly staff! read more

The apple cider donuts were great. The poor girl working was all by herself and people were lined up waiting on her to show up. Way too much to handle for just one person. The sandwich was fresh and good but way too expensive for a normal sandwich you can make at home. read more

. Reasonable prices. friendly staff. Real food. It's a fun vibe. Busy as to be expected. Nice to not have a run down gas station in the area read more

Came for a rest stop. My wife grabbed some sovereigns. Decent local beers. Friendly staff read more

After too many bad experience at common man restaurants i no longer go to any common man places. Mostly service people giving bad service, too many times i couldn't get the food i wanted even though others in the party would get it. 3 requests to a barkeep for an ice tea. Food delivered 1/2 hour and still no tea so i sent the meal back and walked out and will never visit lago again. read more

I like how they have 3 different categories split inside this rest station. You have fast food like burgers, hot dog and fries/onion rings. Then the coffee/bakery side as well as food already packed to go. My eyes got greedy and ended up ordering the bleu cheese burger, fries and onion rings. Everything's pretty average, but on the plus side, it's bigger and more packed than a certain chain I went to recently. I also got a strawberry smoothie from the coffee shop. It was lightly thick, but also a tasted a little watered down. If you're traveling to Vermont, I'd recommend stopping here for a bite before heading out (unless you want to get off an exit later on). read more

My absolute favorite rest stop ever! The people are nice and the food is amazing! I added photos of the seating for the food area and you can bring dogs in! I recommend trying the onion rings, steak and cheese, the potato chips and definitely try the coffee shop!!! read more

Best customer service I've had in a while, if ever!! The staff at the counter were so amazing and personable. The gluten free options were a surprise and allowed me to be accommodated in a place I hadn't even expected. The caprese sandwich, even in gluten free bread, was one of the best I have ever had, including before and after my celiac diagnosis. Thanks so much, keep up the great work read more

I wasn't happy with the changes. There use to be a diner style eating area with hot dogs and burgers and such, and now there's a giant candy store. With only one place to eat at, there's a big line now....and it wasn't even busy. read more

Stopped here on my way back from Vermont. Lots of options ranging from sandwiches to pizzas and chicken salads and the facilities are clean. I ordered the Turkey, Bacon, and swiss and was pleasantly surprised at how hot and flavorsome it was. The bread was toasted well, and the melted swiss mixed in with the turkey and bacon was delicious. What took me by surprise was the poutine. The fries were crispy and hot but the brown gravy on top coupled with cheese curds, fantastic. I'll be back someday. read more

Just off the highway we stopped in for breakfast three times at this place while in town. Service was always friendly and food was made to order. Always fresh, hot and pretty tasty. Portions are big. The omelette came with hash brown potatoes and toast. The fried eggs and bacon came with a bowl of beans and some toast. The French toast was pretty good it had a dusting of powdered sugar on top. There was no maple syrup just those little packages of flavored syrup. Coffee and drinks are self serve and refills are free. There is plenty of room to sit and enjoy your meal. There is a gas station and charging station at this location. So you can charge your car while you have a coffee or a bit to eat. There are other places inside this highway stop to grab some food or groceries. Washrooms are clean. Would totally recommend this place. read more

This is a good stop rest to go to. I order a sandwich from the common man. The BTL was nothing special. It was a very thin sandwich and the bread was a little burnt. They have clean bathroom facilities and a liquor store next door. read more

Nice stop for lunch on highway. It is not an average place for common fast food. Instead, they offer good variety of food, cold and hot sandwiches, pizza, etc. We had cheesesteak, Buffalo chicken wrap and Mediterranean wrap. All tasted good. I would also strongly recommend their matcha latte at the coffee shop. It is not a common choice in most cafes. read more

Easy on and easy off. Typical average food. Nothing special. Chicken Caesar Salad wrap was on a plain wrap, crisp cold lettuce, chilled chicken chunks and bland dressing. Not bad, but nothing to brag about either. Smoothies are made with frozen fruit and yogurt. Refreshing and decent, but 7.50 each! read more

A wonderful highway stop! So good that I'd come here if it wasn't on a highway. Got some fresh squeezed orange juice, a good coffee, and a delicious baked good. On the premium end but everything seemed delicious. The one odd thing was the fresh orange juice machine was broken and it seemed like the employees knew and it had been that way for awhile. read more

this is nice for being a rest stop off the highway. it's kept pretty clean overall and the employees are efficient & friendly. they had a fun prickly pear drink & a nice variety of other snacks. the blueberry muffin was yummy too! feels boujee and cozy for being a rest stop. read more

The 'uncommon iced' coffee is nice and strong. It's a great coffee for when your getting a little sleepy on the road. I was able to get back home to Boston with my eyes wide open after drinking half of my large iced coffee. I also loved the fact that the ice was made of coffee instead of water and it was a huge chunk rather than small ice chips. I wish all coffee places did that so the coffee wouldn't get diluted. The flavor of the coffee was strong without being overly bitter. The flavor of the coffee is better than Starbucks in my opinion and the prices are around the same as going to a Starbucks. They also had dairy free options (almond milk) which is always great for my lactose intolerant husband. The service was quick and friendly. I wish this little coffee shop was in my area. Next time I travel back from New Hampshire I'll be sure to make a stop at Common Man for a cup of joe. ;) read more

I stop here all the time on my way north. The fries are just the right amount of salty, the lemonade is good (and if you don't like it they have name brands), and they have good food overall. Stop here instead of stopping to get fast food. Also they have a piano you can play while you eat. read more

Lots of options for hungry travelers.

Fast service, great selection of sandwiches, burgers and lots of other stuff too. read more

The Hi-Way Diner opened very recently inside of the Common Man Welcome Center North in Hooksett, located along I-93 Northbound north of the Hooksett Tolls (Exit 11). This fast casual diner serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner offering streamlined diner menu offerings at reasonable prices. Unlike a traditional full service diner, this diner has no waitstaff, which is "order & pay at the counter" and you pick up your food when your name is called. There is limited self-serve 1950s style vinyl booth seating inside of the diner, but there is ample seating in the food court area in front of the diner. When you are finished eating, you bus your own dishes in nearby bins. Breakfast (served all day) offerings include egg dishes, bennies, omelets, hot cakes, French toast, hash, roadies (breakfast sandwiches), oatmeal, and sides. The lunch/dinner offerings include burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, soups, chili, fries, fried pickles, poutines, comfort foods (shepherd's pie, pot roast, meatloaf, American chop suey, mac & cheese, spaghetti, chicken parm, steak), kids meals, and desserts (pies, ice cream, frappes, floats). The prices here are pretty reasonable, most meals priced $4.50-$8.50. Self serve Pepsi fountain drinks and Café Monte Alto Coffee served here. I stopped for dinner at the Hi-Way Diner very recently. The place was moderately busy on a Friday night. I ordered a Basket of Fried Pickles ($4) and Spaghetti & Meatballs ($8.50) and a cup of ice water. The food was all set for pick-up in about 5 minutes after ordering. Fried pickles were nice and crispy breaded dill pickle chips (not too greasy) which came with a cool ranch dipping sauce. A few hand cut fries were mixed in the basket as a bonus. The Spaghetti & Meatballs consisted of 3 big moist & soft homemade meatballs, soft spaghetti, and a thick tomato sauce, sprinkled with parmesan cheese, soft roll on the side. This is the same Spaghetti & Meatballs dish I've enjoyed at the Airport Diner in Manchester, except the portions there are bigger. Overall, the food I had was pretty good and I was eating at a rest area too! After dinner, I headed over to the Country Store and picked up a glazed donut stick from Brothers Donut for my dessert. ALTERNATE ACCESS: This Welcome Center can also be accessed from NH Route 3A (toll free) from the back with a separate parking area (no access to the gas station). read more

Go to place when I head to Concord. I stop to charge my car and grab a bite. This morning I had breakfast for the first time. 3 egg omelet with broccoli, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Came with homefries and toast. Absolutely delicious. I stop here at least twice a week and would definitely get breakfast again. I've had their sandwiches at the deli, also great. read more

I told my wife I was stopping for coffee. But I was hungry. And I've eaten at the Common Man restaurant before, so the food should be good. Food was pretty good. Service was fairly quick. It was a little confusing with the menu's because they seemed to be the whole length of the café. Opted for a chicken parm sandwich, my wife I ordered a grilled cheese. I knew she would at least eat that, and she liked it. The fries were good. As far as food options on the road, this is better than fast food joints. I liked the take out boxes that they use, they were interesting. read more

First, I would like to say that I've always been impressed with the food and staff at the Common Man Restaurants and Stores. The North bound l-93/Route 3-A restaurant however was not a good experience. Although pricing was a bit high (but acceptable, since we didn't have to get off the highway) the food was not up to par. For instance, I ordered a Uncommon Man Salad - which according to the sign was made with walnuts & Gorgonzola. Not a walnut on the plate; the dressing was a "frozen" balsamic ice that had either chic peas or hazelnuts, not sure though... it was frozen! Definitely not to par. read more

Not the best layout would be a cluster if busy .. Folks are entering from 3 entrances. Very long board across the full galley with many good options from eggs and muffins for breakfast to burgers and pizzas. A little overwhelming to most that were in line. All employees were very friendly and patient with many who couldn't decide from the many options. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich. Included red cabbage and melted cheese, on a very fresh bun. Also had a side of their home made potato chips, a perfect compliment to the awesome sandwich. I'm on 93 quite often and will definitely be stopping by again! read more

Better than many highway rest stop food options, but this isn't up to the level of the Common Man in Ashland NH (a good restaurant) or the Common Man Express in Ashland NH (a fast food outlet of the same). Because the volume is high, and speed of the utmost, the menu is both limited and modified for fast preparation. The sandwiches are well above what you'd get from other sandwich shops, just don't expect this to be up to the usual standard for The Common Man. read more

Today I stopped in for a sandwich and a bag of homemade chips which I often do. But, today the sandwich was good but the sea salt chips were definitely stale!! I know what they should taste like but by the time I ate the chips I was all ready back on the road. I looked at my he date on the bag and there was a handwritten number that said 1/3 maybe that was the date for expiration but these chips never made it!! We frequent all the common man restaurants and this is the first time in all these years that I was surprised at the quality of a food item!! It won't stop me from continuing to go to the restaurants but I thought you may want to know!! The other visits have been top notch!! read more

I was able to order immediately upon entering the diner. About 5 minutes later, it was packed! The menu is exactly what you would expect....diner food. It's cooked fresh to order which is a good touch. I ordered a grill cheese and fries. The grilled cheese was on bread toasted, and the cheese was nice and thick. The fries were horrible. They were soft....like you pick one up and it folded in half in my hand. I know they were fresh cooked because I watch them cook them. Oh well, it must just be the oil or something. It wasn't a big deal because after eating that large grilled cheese, I wasn't really hungry anymore anyway! read more
