Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro was very enjoyable as was the Shed Mountain Ale. The Crab Cake Tater tots are homemade by hand are beyond ridiculously good. The remoulade sauce very evenly blended and is a great accent to the tots. The Southwestern Pork Twin Tacos were amazing as well, just loaded with well cooked and shredded pulled pork. While not a complaint in my opinion it could have had a touch less pork and more of everything else for a greater balance. And yes I would order everything over again, again and again!!

It was Blues Jam on Sunday and an older crowd of locals. Great music from several bands each playing a set. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful with drink orders and food choices. If you like cider, go for the Downeast Cider on draft - delicious and not overly sweet. Special on Sunday of $9 Bud Light pitchers. We mainly came in for lunch more so than for drinks. Another Sunday special is $.95 apiece wings. We got 8 extra crispy with the sweet chili sauce. Highly recommend! Main entree was a cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms, and peppers with side of onion rings, and hubby had a Reuben with sweet potato fries. The burger was small but really good. Onion rings were crispy and not greasy. The Reuben was crisp on outside with good flavor. Although the portions weren't huge, you couldn't beat the price at $9.95 per meal. Everything is made to order by Ron in the back. If you are in a hurry for your meal and not planning to sit around and drink for the afternoon, just tell your waitress and I'm sure things will come out faster for you. Would come back again!

The lady asked what we wanted to drink. My boyfriends friend and his girlfriend order and they didn't get carded, she asks what me and my boyfriend want and we tell her and she didn't even ask me for my ID and I look younger than 21, she asks my boyfriend for his ID only because his skin is brown. He tells her he doesn't have it. She said then you can't get that drink and he's like okay that's fine. She comes back with his friends drink and his girlfriends drink and says that me and my boyfriend need to leave if we don't have our ID. She could've said that before bringing their drinks out so we could just leave. But instead she was disrespectful about it. I hope she looses her job immediately!

So i thought at first well this is ok if its busy it must be a ok place. Then i noticed they dont sell any booze. No license it seems. ok new owners so they must not be approved yet. no biggie. I bought my wife a cue stick for league match when we join in a few weeks. It was a decent used condition. Figured i would get it at 60 percent of retail. Sadly my cell phone was dead and i didnt have a way to check the retail. I was not familair with the cue. seems i paid over retail for a used cue. Not happy about that. but it is what it is. BUT iif there was one complaint and why i will never return. This room was probably 20k square feet. and they had 1 single wall unit ac and it wasn't doing crap. it was 90 degrees outside. and 95 inside. I was covered in sweat after a single game. we waited for a table to open about 15 minutes. when the league play started. and i heard people left and right complaining. when i sat and drank a soda it was warm inside. but when we started to shoot the ball. i couldn't even see the ball half the time due to the sweat falling into my eyes. everyone was complaining about the heat. An why it was so packed. it was a league match and they had to be there or loose. They where not happy about the heat. if the owners cant afford ac. I dont see busters being here in 2026

I used to shoot a lot of pool here in 1995 and 1996 in my younger years, when it was owned by a…read moredifferent owner, Frank. I used to take advantage of the six hour special, which was all-you-can-play pool for $5 from noon to 6 PM on weekdays, except in the summer, when they closed most weekdays in the daytime. I was in training to become a professional pool player and needed the table time to up my game. I started out in their showroom, which doubled as their non-smoking room, since I didn't like smoke. After a few weeks, I just sucked it up and moved to their main room since it was very lonely in the enclosed showroom, since no one ever went there. Plus they had the better Simonis (tournament) cloth on the front tables outside. In my time there, I played on a number of local tours and in Busters' own in-house tournaments, which were weighted. There were weighted 9-ball and 8-ball tournaments, a few of which I won or placed in the money. Frank had just joined in a the "Four Tour" league with pool halls in Portland, Sanford, and Waterville, and I played in that too. The most exciting time was when they hosted the New Hampshire State 8-Ball Championships, and I got to watch some extremely talented players. At the time, there was a small snack bar up front, as well as a small pro shop. One of the employees also did work on cue sticks on his lathe. They always had the TV on up front. I liked it when they had ESPN's 9-ball matches on, usually with Allison Fisher. Most others there didn't want the channel on that though. I am not sure why, since it was a pool hall after all. Frank actually started giving me free lessons after a while, which I appreciated. All in all, I had a good time and learned a lot. No complaints from me. By the way, I see the new owners have put a lot of their games on their Facebook page, including live videos (https://www.facebook.com/pg/BustersBilliards/videos/). Very nice! These are fun to watch.

It's an older building that's been brought back to life, and you can really feel the charm. They've kept the classic look and style of the original bowling alley, which gives it a nostalgic feel--even though the old scoring machines no longer work, they provide pencils and paper so you still get that authentic experience. The food is great, and the staff is always super friendly and welcoming. We're so grateful to have a place like this locally--it's fun, laid-back, and a perfect spot to spend time with family. Highly recommend

We were concerned because of the holiday weekend; we would have to wait, but there was no waiting today. Just walked in. My friends who grew up here were surprised by the small crowd, as this was a popular hangout for them. Turns out the Red Parka has new owners, and it appears the neighbors /locals are not happy. My friend was hoping for a steak. Apparently, that was a hot ticket item in the past. The staff was very professional and attentive. And the menu was above average. Though there was not a crowd, the food did take a bit of time, but we were catching up with our friends and it was fine. When the food came out, most of our dishes arrived on silver trays, which seemed odd. My friend was a bit taken aback by the changes. I guess Red Parka was more of a nice dinner option for people with plates and napkins. One of our party had salmon, so it was served a bit more formally, and overall they enjoyed it. My drink was actually quite good, but I was not sure about the margherita chicken tacos. They have a lot of seating indoors and a patio outdoors. They also have a bar area and provide live music. So, worth a visit.
