I had a chili dog and a Chicago dog today, and they were good. But that's not really why I keep coming back. What makes this place special is Owen and his husband. They run it with real care. They know the people who come in. They know their families, their stories, where they've been. When I walked in today, Owen said "Hey, it's been a long time. Welcome back." This is the kind of place that holds a community together. People show up regularly because they belong there. They see the same faces. Someone knows them. We need more places like this. Places where people aren't alone. If you're in the area, support it. Thank Owen and his husband for showing up and keeping the doors open.

Good service. Friendly local bar with a twist. ...............................................read more

There is no place in the Upper Valley that has seen more of a revitalization than downtown White…read moreRiver Junction. What used to be a sketchy area is now filled with boutique shops, bustling businesses of tech and industry, arts, culture, and restaurants. One such upscale craft cocktail bar is Wolf Tree. If you didn't know it, you might feel as if you'd stepped into a hipster cocktail lounge in Brooklyn as you walk into Wolf Tree. They offer a variety of playful and inventive drinks. My friend was able to get a virgin cocktail but I just wish they had more than one single cocktail on the menu with vodka. With my choices somewhat limited, I went with a drink called "Friday I'm In Love": vodka, citrus, strawberry, mint, and bubbles. It looked beautiful when it arrived to the table and was a palate pleaser with sour, sweet, and minty flavors. They have weekly specials, classic-type cocktails, and what they call "happy meals" - a beer and shot combination. Don't fear, though, they still have Budweiser, Bud Lite, Miller High Life, and other draft beers for those feeling more traditional Upper Valley. We also ordered one of their charcuterie boards that featured local selections of cheese and meats, olives, pickled vegetables, cured mustards, and a baguette. A great selection but like most of Wolf Tree, a little on the expensive side. Overall I enjoyed my first trip to Wolf Tree and I'm glad hip places like this exist in the Upper Valley.

The warm and friendly staff rounds out the experience, and you won't want to leave.

Quick summary: Amazing burgers - and this claim from someone who is not a huge burger fan…read more I ate here for the first time last week - while on vacation. My wife is a big burger fan (FYI: she raved about her burger, too), so I decided to try the place out, since we were in the area. Bit hard to locate, but parking was fine. Since the weather was good, we ate outside. There is both open air & tent-covered seating options. Speaking of seating - you must memorize your table # BEFORE going inside to order as meals are delivered to your table. I ordered the "Big Daddy M": 6oz beef, medium-cooked, with Bayley Hazen blue cheese, caramelized onions, bacon bits, garlic aioli, bibb lettuce and red onions. What a heavenly, savory combination. Each bite was full of flavor. And the French Fries? Well, super tasty as well - I ate every potato fried crumb. At other places, fries are usually bland, but not here. The order service inside was pleasant and quick; be sure to note the chalk board with a list of food options (e.g. my Wife ordered a custom burger, just the way she wanted). After ordering we went back outside to our #'d table - wait for the food was relatively quick. When done eating, just leave your baskets, etc. on the table (there is a sign stating this practice). Note: while I did not have kids here, there were plenty of families with young kids & toddlers. I definitely want to try this place a 2nd time.

The town is also a bucket list destination for fans of Gilmore Girls. We were hungry and looking for a late lunch. There are a handful options in town, and we chose Worthy Burger! It was a crazy hot day (90+) so we decided to eat inside. There was a hostess station outside, but we assumed it was for the outside seating area so by-passed it. Oops - apparently we should have started there. Sorry, we now know for next time. The indoor space is rustic and quaint. The food and drink menus are chalkboards. I like the vibe here. You order at the register, and when your food is ready they bring it to you. I had the Mushroom Swiss Burger and my wife had the signature Worthy Burger. Both burgers were tasty. I washed mine down with 85 Bears by Big Tree Brewing. Coach Ditka would agree - this beer is worthy of the greatest football team ever! Service is hard-working and friendly. If you are in the area and looking for a burger worthy of your time and money ... you might want to give Worthy Burger a try.
