Very popular dining spot for the area. Seating was traditional diner style seating. Plenty of room in the front and back and of course counter service was available. I found it interesting that everything on the menu for breakfast was "scrambled eggs". The gentleman next to me asked for a dietary adjustment and they didn't want to do it. I thought that was very unusual. Food overall was extremely good. We're not mind going back to try a lunch or dinner menu item. read more

Its been awhile since i have been here but wanted to update my review. Looking at my previous pictures id say portion size (at least on fries-which sre mow crinkle cut) has gone down. In my newest picture I had started in on the fish but had not eaten a fry yet lol. I almost forgot to take a picture because it was delicious. I didn't quite finish all my fries but I ate all of the fish and all of the coleslaw. We ordered a side of onion rings which we also did a good job of finishing. This is a really cute diner with an old time atmosphere. We enjoyed it a lot and will definitely come again. read more

Hometown Diner - Diners Near Me - Rindge, New Hampshire

First of all, the waitress was very nice no problem there. When i ordered the "Big boy breakfast" it was horrible! Just about everything was overcooked (except bacon)and the eggs were filthy with grease and an unclean grille and the bacon was undercooked really bad. I left most of it on the plate. My son just got a cheese sandwich (way over priced at 11.99 PLUS fries extra! Most expensive breakfast i had in a while that was not worth it! There are better places to eat breakfast than this one. read more

Overdue for an update, good staff. Food is out quick and everything we ordered was great. I like to get a side of onion rings with my california benny. Depending on when you go on the weekend can be an hour wait to get in. Would recommend to anyone in the area or going through the area, table spaces are very limited for parties great than 4, there are only two tables that can seat 4 or more by the bathroom. read more

Hometown Diner - Diners Near Me - Rindge, New Hampshire

My wife and I went here for breakfast while on a weekend college visit for our oldest daughter. We were welcomed right away and were able to sit at the bar top directly across from the entrance. The place is pretty small - as it should be for a local hometown diner. It was well kept and clean, and everyone in there seemed comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We got drinks very soon after sitting down, and our food came out very fast as well. My wife got the Sugar Cookie French Toast (on special), while I got the Country Chicken Benedict. Both were very good and neither one of us could finish our plates. The pricing was very reasonable, and we were in and out of there in under 45 minutes. We weren't rushed either, it was just very efficient. We would welcome a visit back there for breakfast should we venture back up to the area! A great experience for sure. read more

When I go to a diner, I go there for the diner experience. I'm not expecting gourmet dining, elegant surroundings, or finely dressed servers.  I expect good food, cleanliness, comfortable seating, and efficient service. And that's precisely what you'll find at Hometown Diner.  We stopped here recently for lunch. My better half ordered a BLT wrap with sweet potato fries. I had a burger with sauteed onions and cheese. Both of us were very happy with our order. The servers were amiable and attentive to our needs. It's an excellent choice if you're looking for a classic diner in the Rindge area. read more

Definitely will be making the trip NW to come back here asap. The atmosphere was unbeatable, the server was a delight, the food was so fresh and of super high quality, and it was cooked and served exactly as it should have been. Their menu is traditional, and boasts some funky options as well. This is an awesome spot. My only small critiques would the following- 1. It's drafty- (it's a diner on a cold day- easily understandable) 2. They can not accommodate some requests (busy place, limited time, small footprint, prep has been done- all good reasons) and 3. The pancakes are basic. Good, but didn't blow me away. Highlights from our trip- Corned Beef Hash (& anything that contains corned beef) Reuben *not pictured below* Homefries (cut seasoned and cooked on the flat top PERFECTLY) Breakfast sausage Links All in all WELL worth a stop. read more

I came about a year ago to have breakfast while I was in the area. I had what I think was called the southern fried chicken eggs benedict?? I still think about this meal every couple of weeks. Amazing. I'm not sure if this is still on the menu since it's been a year but I really hope so. read more

Hometown Diner - Southern Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Rindge, New Hampshire

The server was great, very friendly. The southern chicken Benedict was really good. The food came out quickly and it was hot and fresh.

Typical Silk City Diner with standard counter and booth seating with additional table seating in the rear. Very limited but adequate breakfast and lunch menu which ensures your orders will leave the kitchen in record time. Excellent service, good prices and very good food. I didn't order from the breakfast menu but saw several items pass the table; it all appeared to be very creditable New England breakfast fare. Would recommend this breakfast and lunch stop if you find yourself in the area. You can be in, out and on your way in a flash, even if it is very busy. read more

Hometown Diner - Chili - Diners Near Me - Rindge, New Hampshire

Food is absolutely delicous and makes me drool even thinking about it. Truly is a hometown staple for rindge.

Food and service were amazing! The staff were kind also. The food came out quickly. My friends and I were all satisfied!

Fantastic breakfast, HUGE portions (We split the country fried steak breakfast, and were both stuffed!), friendly wait staff, except for Taylor. As guests were leaving, she made horribly rude comments about them. She was rude to us to our faces. We couldn't help wondering what she said about us after we left. The building and decor were absolutely 1950s and adorable. We enjoyed our visit very much, enough that not even Taylor's rude comments could spoil it or cost them a star. Eat here. You'll love it! read more

I don't know where they get their bacon but it is amazing, and it's cooked so perfectly. When I walked in and they were two women working and they were so cool and so nice. Why we sat there multiple people came in all of which they knew. Before the customer even comes in they start getting their order ready. It has multiple seating and of course the famous diner counter seats. It's kind of big it looks small but it's not it's huge, there's plenty of parking. I definitely recommend stopping here read more

Pretty good food. I was upset how small and busy it got. Also that they said they have WiFi online but they don't...unless they only give the password out to people they know... read more

great food great service easy to find great little diner yyyuuuummmmmmyy mmmmoooore great ambiance read more

We went in on Friday 12/6. The Server seated us and took our drink order. When she brought out our drinks she hastily "set" them on the table and threw the straws down without looking because someone she knew came in to eat. We were ready to place our order when the drinks came, but the server ran off and sat the people she knew took their drink order, brought their drinks and took their order. After that, she went and took another tables order who was seated after the people the server knew. Finally she came to take our order when we were about to get up and leave. The food was great but service was terrible. read more

Place is nice, well-kept, clean, good seating in and out. Service superb. Reasonable prices. Food good...I had chicken-fried steak. Ample portion. But compared to the best that I have had...just a notch under. read more

The food, service and atmosphere was very good all you would expect in a diner. Don't believe the hours on this site though they were only open until 3 PM. read more

Food is awesome, service is wonderful and ambience is super cute. I recommend the ultimate grilled cheese and shrimp basket.

Man, what a diner. I had been a couple times a while back, but came across it again last weekend while out for a drive. A classic diner. But that menu. Some classic basics, but an eye opener of other options. My boy had eggs florentine that were beautiful and were gone before I knew what was happening. I had the Irish omelette and it was amazing. Homemade corned beef hash? Yea, please. I always look at the coffee in a diner. Theirs was pretty good. Not sure what we paid, since my boy paid, but I estimate it was maybe ~$28. The service was great. We were greeted as we came through the door and seated quickly. The young man helping us was attentive and polite without being overbearing or saccharine. Great service. We got in maybe around 10AM and watched the place come alive and busy. All seemed happy except for some guy intent on talking loudly about what's wrong with the world these days, but it comes with the area. Highly recommend. Very highly. read more

Our first time visiting. My wife had the turkey club and I had the classic Reuben. Both were above average. Real turkey, perfect balance of elements with the Reuben. Homemade onion rings. Perfectly cooked. Great service in a retro diner atmosphere. This is the sort of comfortable restaurant that invites you to return time and again and enjoy the rest of the menu. Stay tuned for more. read more

Cute little diner with all the typical breakfast foods you'd want. The best part is being taken back in time once you walk through the doors. The eggs Benedict was delicious and the loaded hash browns....yum. read more

Love breakfast there, especially the loaded hashbrowns! Just wish they would remain open for dinner. Great friendly staff.

Our son goes to Franklin Pierce University. We found this diner on one of our first trips up. We now pretty much plan our trips around making sure we can get to "Hometown" at least twice per visit. AMAZING food, wonderful and friendly staff. read more

BBQ reviewer here, been going to Hometown for a longtime and they have been great. Don't listen to any of these people talking about how the place "Use to be and now it's not" they are completely wrong, it's exactly how it was. They now have a BBQ Smoker in the back with a big Tent and wood pallet bar and live rock music. Not entirely sure what the logistics are here cause it almost looks like the BBQ business and the Diner are kinda separated. We went the other night and it must have only been like 4:30 and the Diner was locked and lights off even though their hours are posted right on the door saying open till 9. If it wasn't for all the commotion behind the diner I would have just assumed they all left. Walked behind the diner, got a nice table under the tent, order some BBQ, live rock from Mosey Down, not a bad evening. I think the pit master and/or the manager of just the BBQ operation, which is called Phoenix Smokehouse ... further elaborating on why it feels like 2 different businesses, came from the Woodbound Inn up the street a bit. And in 2020 it seemed like the previous owners of the Hometown diner said they were shutting the doors for good, and the diner was closed for a long time. Suddenly it was open again and everything was pretty much the same except that they had a seasonal BBQ menu and Venue in the back. But anyways on to the food. Got the 3 meat combo. Ribs, Sliced Brisket, and 1/4 Chicken. 2 sides with it, Mac and Cheese and "Baracho" Beans and a Cornbread. Extra Side of Dirty Rice cause I love it for some reason. No iced tea beverages though ... kinda bummed about it. Ribs. Meat was most soft and tender. Some of the bark was a little rough as it usually is anywhere you go. Nice light basting of sauce. You don't get too much with a 3 meat combo, it was like 5 bones but the bones were like 3 inches long. Meat came off the bones almost like the meat was never on them to begin with. Made it easier to dip the meat in the sauces, which I never do but glad I did here. Sliced Brisket. Surprisingly good. My rule is usually eat the brisket as soon as it's in front of you because most of the time it dries up real fast. But my ribs and chicken were on top (I suspect a lot of BBQ joints do this on purpose to help maintain some moisture). Once I got to the Brisket though, it was still relatively juicy and tasted nice and smokey. Not too much in the way of a seasoning though (that I could taste anyway) but flavor of the beef was more powerful than I thought it would be. Texture was a tiny bit rough but nothing bad. 1/4 Chicken. They don't ask what 1/4 you would like so I'm assuming they either always give you a drum or it'll be a surprise. Extra Smokey Flavor though and super tender. So easy to eat, my brain didn't even realize I had devoured the thing instantly. Mac and Cheese was nothing special to me. Just a boiled spiral "Cavatappi" pasta with some standard cheese sauce, but I will say their was something pretty damn good about that cheese sauce. First look you would probably say Velveeta, but I think it had a couple good cheeses in there, maybe even a nice seasoning I couldn't really see. I'd get it again, but it wasn't the nice baked and grity 5 cheese blend with the hot oils and stuff like that. "Banacho" Beans. Pretty sure "Banacho" is just a Mexican name, no real translation. That being said, these are Definitely Mexican inspired so hats off to whoever thought up this one. These baked beans sit in a brothy type of bean gravy with onions and bit of brisket but the actual flavor you will always get is that actual bean flavor. Perfect on top of white rice if you ask me. It can practically be called a stew, and you might think it has a little kick or a black pepper vibe to it. Good stuff but pretty filling. Dirty Rice. Excellent! Some of the best dirty rice I've had, probably the best. Actually tasted like was dirty rice is supposed to be. Had some ground beef AND little minced pieces of brisket in there. Along with whatever pepper they use and the spices were authentic, not like some pouch of stuff from the market. Very good. Corn Bread. I usually hate these mini load portions but these minis have such a good Rise in the middle that it's almost like you're getting 2 corn breads. Great taste too. Not the most authentic, still close to more of a yellow cake or a standard mix. But the way they bake it is magical. Now ... if they severed it with they own honey butter ... People would be ordering cases of them. Sauces: They have 5 sauces! Impressive. And they are all made in house! Had to try them all. All of them were surprisingly good but I was very surprised to find a white sauce. Very rare to find an Alabama style up here, let alone a good one. This "White Lightning" sauce was excellent. Picture a mayo, vinegar, and south west seasoning mix, sounds weird but it's delicious. All in all a solid 4.5, great place. read more

This was my first time eating at Hometown Diner in Rindge, New Hampshire. I grew up in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, this restaurant opened after I had moved away from the area. Hometown Diner was recommended to me and my family from other old time friends who still live in Jaffrey. They expressed that the food was great, and despite how long the line may be to get a table / booth, you never had to wait more than 10 minutes. That statement turned out to be true. The atmosphere is your typical diner atmosphere, and the food is your typical diner food; but in NO WAY am I trying to put that down, because diners have some of the best food out there. I ordered hot chocolate with whipped cream, and their original eggs benedict with home fries. The only negative comment I can say about the food was that the hollandaise sauce was broken...it happens...I get it. The poached eggs were perfect! I would absolutely come back! If and when I return to Jaffrey I will definitely keep Hometown Diner in mind as a nice, reasonably priced, family owned restaurant that deserves the locals and the outta-towners to stop in and enjoy. read more

Simple but very good food, excellent staff, mimosas. That's all I need. Cute diner. I go literally every weekend I'm in town.

Food is average at best and servers should know when the meal doesn't look right. Not the first time I've been there, seems the be a systemic problem. read more

Love this little diner and their quick service, good food and the Irish eggs Benedit with homemade brisket is unbelievably yummy! Best of all they had GF bread for me to enjoy it!

If I could, I would give it 10 stars, the food is excellent, the staff is very personable at least in my experience. They were very accommodating, very timely with the service, the food was exactly right, and left there in a great mood. The staff was very nice, friendly, and sociable, and the environment was and always is in my experience very welcoming. Kaitlyn B., waited on our table, and was very good, she was very timely with food, took time to talk, but was very focused, would definitely come again! The food was delicious, cooked well, tasted great, and was very neat and clean, and well stocked. You could tell that Kaitlyn B took a lot of pride in her job, and she works/ worked very hard. She does very well. Whenever I go there, the food is always on par, and it's not very often as of late that I find places with great friendly people, good service, and food to match! If it were me, I would give Kaitlyn B., a raise, but everyone there is very hardworking. read more

Service was good and they accommodated our large group of 7 people in the outside seating no problem. My egg white omelet was goopy for lack of a better word. It seemed slightly undercooked and the tomatoes and spinach made it too moist inside. The potatoes were cooked but salty.

A diner I have visited many times. Very good diner food with specials mixed in. Right off of 119. Great onion rings, very large potions and many homemade pies etc. Plenty of parking. The only drawback is that the front room is very cramped and the booths uncomfortable. I try and wait for a regular table in the back room. Particularly liked the bbq when available also great patty melt. You have to try the onion rings. read more

food is still good but it used to be a ton better. pre-covid the portions were sizable enough that you might leave with a doggy-bag if you ordered a pancake or stuffed french toast off the specials. i went there again a few weeks again and left hungry and it costs more than it used to ... at this point i'll just go somewhere else cause i don't like to leave feeling like i haven't eaten. read more
