I crunched on at least five of them. It's very disconcerting. The latest trend in New Hampshire lately is charging you to use your credit card well, I use my credit card all the time and I'm not gonna pay you extra for any inconvenience. That's ridiculous. What an incentive !wont be back to your place. I don't carry cash so you won't see me there . you are the loser now somebody somewhere will take my credit card and not charge me extra as I already pay finance charge. I don't need an extra charge from you. Thanks though. Good luck. not bad overall .

Cynthia's opened recently in East Hampstead in the former Commodore Grill space at the Commodore…read morePlaza off NH 121A near NH 111. This casual family owned and operated restaurant cafe serves up breakfast all day and lunch. The place was redone with a brighter and an inviting atmosphere with booths along the walls and in front, table seating in the center and counter seating in the dining area. There are patriotic prints on the walls and checkered floors remain. I've picked up Lebanese and Italian food from the previous restaurant in this space and it's bittersweet seeing a small town breakfast and lunch spot open up in its place. There are a few other options in this area, but spread out. I decided to stop by here for breakfast before work. I got here just before 6:30 and sat myself in a booth which had menus to look at. The breakfast menu offerings include breakfast platters, 3 egg omelettes, pancakes, French toast, Belgian waffles, breakfast burritos, Tony The Tiger (frosted flakes French toast), hash (canned and homemade (soon)) and breakfast sides. The lunch menu offerings include fried appetizers, hand cut fries, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, soup, chili, salads, comfort dishes, and daily specials. The prices seem fair, most meals $8 to $15 range (in 2024). After I was seated, the server came over and offered a drink and I requested an ice water since I already had coffee beforehand. They did not have homemade hash yet, so I eventually decided to go with the Steak Bomb Omelette ($13.50 plus tax) with choice of toast (I chose sourdough) and one side (I got home fries). My food was served in about 8 minutes after ordering. There was a good amount of hot food on my plate. The omelette was filled with grilled shaved steak, green peppers, onions, mushrooms & cheese (I chose cheddar) with a folded thin egg sheet. This omelette was pretty good. The home fries were fresh cut potatoes (cube cut) lightly grilled and seasoned, which were potatoey and with the skins. The sour dough toast was firm and had minimal butter. The server dropped off the check as I was almost done eating, no rush. The check was $14.65 with tax and before tip. Overall, this is a good place stop for food and I plan to stop by for lunch next time since I saw they had chicken tenders, reubens, monte cristos, mac & cheese, and spaghetti & meatballs (Wednesdays). The friendly staff knew people by name as they stopped in for breakfast. The service for weekday breakfast was prompt and I was able to make to work on time. It is noted they are closed on Sundays (at the time of this posting).

As some of you probably already know, I'm a sucker for a good cozy local breakfast place. Apropos,…read moreI happened upon this place via Yelp through a fluke, really. Meaning to click on someone's check-in or something, I ended up clicking on this diner instead. I read the menu, saw they had one of my all time favorites (the hash & eggs), then I was instantly sold! Naturally, the hash & eggs lived up to their rep. Cookies offers both canned and house made hash (though I almost always choose the former for personal reasons) and the homefries were well seasoned and crispy on the outside. Unfortunately, as with most breakfast places, they can't seem to butter toast very well. A minor inconvenience, at worst. My recommendation would be to maybe sub this for a bagel with cream cheese (note to self), unless you're one of those jam on toast types. In which case, have at you. The coffee was decent. Obviously a breakfast blend that's not too bold. But at least it didn't taste like tea. Now, I gotta talk about the layout real quick, because it's rather unique. You may have noticed in the outside photo that there's two entrances. That's because the one on the right is meant for handicapped accessibility (hence the ramp). I have to say...that's rather thoughtful of them. Of course, given the inordinately high volume of senior citizens residing in NH, why am I even surprised? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, the interior is interesting because it has these two sections; the main dining area where the restrooms are also located, and a smaller back area with a mini bar and a few other tables. If you manage to be seated at one of the tables along the middle of both areas, there's this open window where you can view the mini bar and kitchen. This is also where the servers operate from if you're sitting at said tables. I hope I described that accurately, since taking photos of the interior without accidentally capturing a few faces was next to impossible. So, would I return? Certainly, if I ever manage to convince the wifey to join me (she's not what you'd call an early riser). The food here is very diner-esque (IYKYK) and I dare say rivals that of The Good Place on Lowell road. I'm giving Cookies Diner 4 plates of savory hash & eggs out of 5.

Good local diner…read more When you think of a "diner" you usually think of a chain like Denny's or a greasy spoon. This place is closer to the greasy spoon that you know and love. They are cash only and the staff (Betsy and Dave) have quite the personality, filling the small dining area. There is no ATM if you are short on cash! It's fairly small, but it doesn't feel crowded. I had one of their 4-egg omelettes and we shared it between the two of us. It tasted good and was a lot better than I had expected. Prices are a little high when compared to the Airport Diner, but I'd rather fund my super-local diner rather than the Common Man. (Nothing against them though!) Hopefully I'm never short on cash when dining there, I don't want to become an unwilling employee, paying off my debt!

Delicious food. Good Portions. Amazing Service…read more It's a small restaurant, as expected of "Mom and Pop" diners, and it has a very friendly atmosphere. There were locals eating at the counter who knew each other's names as well as other travelers passing through. They are a Cash Only diner even though it says "accepts credit cards" on yelp. They have a sign on the door as you enter as well as a friendly reminder by the waitress. If ever we're passing through New Hampshire again, we will definitely stop by. Thank You

The restaurant itself is small but I liked that they had a mix of seating and we didn't have trouble grabbing a table on a Saturday. They have multiple pairings you can buy hung up. However, I will say they need to wash the walls once in a while- a little dirty. Our waitress was Elisa and she was fantastic. She made us all feel comfortable and made sure to give plenty of attention to the baby. Thanks for making your restaurant so homey! As for the menu there are a ton of options and they were all reasonably priced. For a table of four we all totaled $71. That's a steal! The food was also very good. I had the hash omelet and grilled home fries. Quality was excellent and I liked how the hash was almost melted into the eggs (as you can see in the photo). They had many quality options for sides and cheese as well. I highly recommend a visit!
