Former known as Cabin Fever Restaurant, the original owners have returned to this location and opened Northern Bites, a casual seafood/pizza restaurant located on US 302 in Bartlett Village. They also operate the Northern BItes food truck in the North Country. This restaurant also should be a popular place for snowmobilers to stop since it is located adjacent to the snowmobile trail (a small section of the Conway Scenic Railroad) behind Northern Bites.
Northern Bites offers fried seafood (haddock, fish bites, whole belly clams, shrimp, sea scallops), lobster rolls, hot dogs, chicken tenders, fried foods, nachos, chili, clam chowder, a variety of 10" pizzas, Gifford's Ice Cream, cinnamon rolls, and cookies. The prices seem fair.
The dining areas have that rustic cabin atmosphere with table seating & booths, a collection of old license plates mounted on the wood walls, painted mural of winter scenery & mountains, flatscreen TVs, wooden bear statue, old snowshoes, and a Tuckerman Brewing Co snowboard.
I stopped by Northern Bites recently for takeout. I ordered the Haddock Filet Platter ($19.95 plus tax) served with fries and slaw. My food order was all set in about 10 minutes, packed in a cardboard box. The platter had 2 good sized pieces of fried breaded haddock filets, golden fries with skins, a cup of shredded cole slaw, and a tartar sauce cup on the side. Before leaving, I applied some malt vinegar to the haddock and dispensed some ketchup for the fries.
The fried haddock and fries were very hot and pretty good. The cole slaw had a slight sour taste, decent. I will have to stop by again to try out their pizza. read more
