This place is the real deal...excellent slow cooked smoked BBQ!!!…read more I researched a ton of restaurants within 1.5 hours of Lincoln, NH (we are here for a week in May 2025) and this place made the list of "hopefully we can work in" and gladly we did!!! Jackson was a great and upbeat server, so good I would ask for him by name! The vibe of the joint is very comfortable and inviting... They had good music on and it's got an outside porch although we ate inside because it was on the warm side. I've had a lot of barbecue and I know it's good bye any standards... But for New England, it might be the very best I've had... The brisket, the pulled pork, and the ribs were all outstanding! I consider the Mac very good. The slaw was good, not exceptional like the other stuff, but that's probably a taste preference. And while I'm not gonna say that this place is cheap, but barbecue can be very very expensive in 2025, this seemed fairly priced. I never say that anymore. In my opinion, it is worthy of a multiple hour drive. We will be back!!!

These guys know what they are doing! Decided to go with the…read moremeat buffet and started off with some wicked Mac and cheese. This was later followed by TEN different types of meat(they have a brick oven in the back and can see they grill everything) and it was amazing!

Service was impeccable with a gregarious and friendly waiter making superb recommendations. I had the chicken burrito with rice and black beans, a little of Brazilian fejioada, Cuban "moros y cristianos" and Mexican flavored chicken. Oh yummy. My spouse had the pulled pork and fries.

Gluten free options are very welcomed and my daughter really enjoyed the GF brisket.

And because of that, needed me some food. Was torn between Schilling (drank there, but didnt want pizza) and here, and ended up coming here. Food: -wings- got the garlic parm, they were pretty good, right amount of time in the fryer, maybe a smidge more of the garlic parm would have been nice, and good bleu cheese. would order again -nachos - meh, the people a few seats down from me had them and were raving about them, to me, they were just, nachos. Nothing special, nothing stood out. Beer: -Had a nice draft list when I was here, but I had to drive in an hour, so just got a small pour of a Maine Beer Co beer i've had before, and it was priced right. Service: -Great, the hostess was friendly, the bartender was nice, and the runners were nice too. Overall, i'd come back here if I was in town.

Cold Mountain Cafe is a perfect stop to turn a long drive into a nice date!…read more We definitely recommend this place, it's a solid 4 that comes off like a 5! We've passed through Bethlehem, NH a few of times as we've traveled between Maine and New Hampshire. A couple weeks ago I noticed a glowing little eatery as we hurried west on Route 2 en route to UMass Amherst. I didn't catch the name of the restaurant I'd noticed, but our return l timing worked to stop for dinner in Bethlehem, so as we headed back, Cary scoured Google and Yelp ...and based upon the menus and ambiance, we settled on Cold Mountain Cafe. Turns out this was the spot. Inside was just as welcoming as I'd anticipated. Nothing against small New England towns, ...but IMO you can't EXPECT a well-rounded professional restaurant package when you're in "two-hours-from-anywhere, New Hampshire". And IMHO, sometimes these fresh-movement country places are presented like funky hippy brightly lit hardscaped cafe's with busy chalkboard menus that look like 60's concert posters. Not Cold Mountain Cafe -the music, lighting and decor was perfectly contemporary ...relaxing ...inviting comfortable conversation. The menu and pricing were well thought out, offering an assortment of cultural fare with asian, french, American, East Indian entrees that ranged from smash-burger, pot pie comfort food, to bistro steak and seared scallops. Unexpected additions like bean cake and Indian lamb stew entrees offered a pleasant, funky twist. Entrees ranged from $19 to $38. The two drinks we tried were really great! I had the Brooklyn and Cary had the Espresso Lovers Martini. I think Cary put it perfectly when she said that the Brooklyn was like desert! The espresso martini was notable because it was made with rum, instead of vodka and it used fresh espresso, giving it a luscious Tia Maria feel. Both drinks had a wonderful silky smooth mouth feel. The waitstaff was not uniformed, but in semi-formal server attire with all black garments and waist aprons. The service was friendly, professional and attentive... our waitress brought us some warm crispy tender dinner rolls with garlicky seasoned oil dipping sauce, took our orders at our pace and checked in on us throughout the meal. The mushroom polenta app was great... smooth, creamy and fresh with balanced earthy woodsy and smoky notes. The pea soup was a bit brighter and fresher than I'm used to (growing up in Boston, my mom made the best pea soup ...a more hearty version with pork meat always made in the days following a smoked shoulder meal), but in the New England small town country, farm-fresh motif, we liked the bright, fresh pea flavors... Cary was concerned about what she would order because she was put off by the steak entree's smoked Gouda sauce. So she had the lamb stew, which was a compromise. Me? I'd spent the previous couple of days at a hotel hanging around UMass, which means a lot more carbs than I want... smash burgers, burritos, eggs Bennies... oof! So I definitely was feeling like something light... and decided to be crazy and try the bean cake. Cary's stew was nice. It didn't hit you over the head, but it had balanced signature Indian flavors, and was nicely presented. We're not volume-conscious but both thought it could have had a couple more pieces of lamb. I enjoyed my bean cake -although I don't really have anything to compare it to. The waitress said it was hearty, so I rolled the dice. I'd probably try it again... it flavorful and satisfying. The chèvre and ginger dressing supplied a good level of moisture and flavor notes to the breaded spiced bean and rice patty. I'd add that the plating on a bed of fresh spinach presented a little bit of a challenge as I had to pierce a few baby fresh spinach leafs at a time, then add the bean cake... but it was manageable... The menu changes seasonally, so we're looking forward to checking in on our next pan New England journey.

We had a reservation at 5:45 - they told us they couldn't seat us at 5:15 or 5:30 even though more than 1/2 of the dining room was empty when we got there. Sure sign that they are short on staff - but it must be in the kitchen because there were definitely enough waitstaff around. And although there were waitstaff around we barely saw our very friendly waitress. The owner was around and was very nice and accommodating with the kids and offered to make anything they wanted. I had the prime rib - which was cooked to a perfect medium rare and tender but it had no flavor at all. The sweet carrots were the star of the plate. My husband had the rib eye and said it was just OK but again no flavor. My daughter had the bacon burger but it was a hockey puck and all she ate was the mashed potato side. My son had grilled chicken and their "famous" fries (as the owner said) - the fries were the pre battered kind and nothing fancy and the chicken was just that a slab of grilled chicken breast. The fried green beans were good and the pretzels were perfect although the cheese sauce with them had no flavor. We took desserts to go and I am not sure why they called it bread pudding but it was just a hunk of hard bread. We like to support local but not sure we will make an effort to come back here.

Wow is not the right adjective, but pretty damn close…read more I am in town for a couple days. Found a nice air bnb up the road which gives me one hour drive access to Bolton, Jay, and Cannon. Anyways, came back from Jay tonight and needed dinner and even though I stopped at the gas station/mart down the road and grabbed a sandwich I still felt I needed dinner (saving the sandwich for tomorrow.) Popped in and knew this was the right decision. Missed the special menu but the pesto flatbread sounded good. I went with the pot roast dinner which was phenomenal. Fell apart with a fork, vegetables were cooked spot on, and think they were deep fried mashed potatoes? That or panko covered. Ether way they were like cheese balls that were yummy. Service was excellent. The cashier had the best cheerful smile and attitude. She also served and bused the tables so she was always asking everyone one everything was. Place is inviting, I can only imagine what the vibe is in the morning when they serve breakfast. Probably will pop in when I head out of town to fuel up for the ride home. This place is definitely worth the stop not only because of what I wrote but because it's a local business and you should avoid the quick fast meal spots.

It is a nice-sized dining room with comfortable tables, benches, and chairs. On our next visit, we will sit in the upper dining room or at the bar located at the upper dining room for no other reason than personal preference. The bar is not super large but very old school, dark and comfortable. Our server was excellent. He did a great job walking us through the menu, the day's specials, and all of the various drinks that they offered. We began with drinks. The Cosmopolitan that I had was a slightly different formulation with a float of Prosecco which was amazing. My wife had a gin-based drink with rosemary that was also excellent. We began with appetizers including crispy broccoli with Gorgonzola and buffalo sauce and a green tomato topped with a stuffed ravioli with cheese and a wonderful sauce. They were fantastic. My wife had mushroom ravioli and I had the special rib eye steak with fresh green beans and an amazing sauce. The steak was perfectly prepared and the beans had excellent snap and color. We split a dessert and settled on the Olive Oil cake with ice cream. The cake was moist and super flavorful. The price was not crazy considering what we received. We will eat here again on our next visit.
