From the lively music scene to the wide variety of craft beers, and ciders this place is the perfect spot to unwind and listen to any of the rotating musical acts.

The owner Rob is also a wonderful host, and clearly very dedicated to making sure all his guests feel welcome and like a regular even if it's their first visit Additionally, as a vegetarian I was thrilled to see they have partnered up with Sleazy Vegan and there's a variety of food options accessible to me, which is rare to find in NH!

In this not-quite Covid era, it was great to find an outdoor table at Allenstown Country Diner--and…read morethe menu is indeed country with biscuit offerings, grits, and eggs of all kind. For being inside and out, our coffee mugs were kept full. Country or not, ACD offers adult breakfast beverages including iced mimosas , though the ice was a bit of more fill than chill. Nonetheless the eggs and toast were spot on, and the eggs Benedict were gooey as can be with Hollandaise sauce. Whether you're camping in Bear Brook or passing through Manchester or Concord, this was a great in between. We were relieved to find parking in the sides/back, and left stuffed. For the friendly service and substantial breakfast, we'd come back again.

When we walked in none of the staff saw us but there is a sign posted to seat your self. I was interested to see how long it would take to be noticed, I expected it to be a bit. I was very pleasantly surprised that our waitress came over almost immediately! We ordered and our food came out quickly and nice and hot. I had the biscuits and gravy with a side of Texas toast. The biscuits were amazing so light and fluffy, honestly they were perfect! I liked the gravy but I felt like it needed a boost of flavor and salt. The home fries were good but lacked seasoning. The toast was perfectly buttered and exactly what I wanted. My husband had the French toast and corned beef hash both of which he throughly enjoyed. The biggest highlight for us was our waitress and the rest of the staff. It is very clear they love the diner and all work seamlessly together. We will definitely be back!

We both had the Haddock Basket - they really know how to fry! It was a generous filet, and my wife got onion rings, while I had the French fries. Their onion rings are very good, as are their fries. The waitress was very nice - friendly and attentive, but not pushy. We'll be back!

Wonderful little lunch stop!…read more It was full of locals and regulars and on a wait for lunch. At that moment I knew I had picked a good spot! We chilled with the folks up front for a good bit before getting a table. It seemed we were the only people that had not been here 30-40 times before. Most people didn't even want menus and the sweet server ladies just brought them food without conversation at all. It's kind of old school feeling inside. It's an open kitchen and you can see all of the action. Inside is all wooden and rustic. It reminds me of my grandmas house in Camden TN. Not sure why. It's just really comfortable in here to me. The tile and fireplaces make super cozy. This place has some of the best chili that I have had in a long time. I dig the fact they give tortilla shops automatically with the chili. Win!! Thick and meaty and oh so filled with spice and love!! Cheese on top was a nice touch too. Really liked it! My French dip was fucking killer!! So damn big too! I could only eat half of it because of the the fire ass chili I had already eaten. French fries were battered type. Nothing wrong with that!! I drove around with this sandwich for two days of travel and ate it on the road later. Stupendous French dip!! C had an open faced roast beef sandwich. FIRE!! The green beans were so pretty and fresh too. She could barely get 1/3 down, lol. It was a ton of food. Economical! Hometown feel! Good people working and eating here! I love it!! I'm not even sure I could find the place again. I sure am glad I did the first time! '26 -39

We were able to park close by and get in before the big crowd. Barley seems like a happening place. An upscale Irish Pub, for sure! The set up is a bar with a decent amount of restaurant booth seating. Of course, there were tables of different sizes available, as well. We were given a 10 minute wait after meeting with the Hostess. There was alot of activity around the bar and lots of drinks coming out of the bar well....always a good sign! When our time was up, we were quickly escorted to our table. We were each given a menu and a drink menu. Lots to choose from on both menus (see the pic below) I ordered the chicken sandwich with caramelized onions and my son ordered a Chicken Pot Pie. He had a beer and we both had water with a lemon. The food came rather quickly. I was immediately taken back when the caramelized onion was not on my sandwich. I was going to ask the waittress to fix it but it was far to busy and it was not a big deal. Of course, I would have enjoyed the onion but "no big deal". My son's Chicken Pot Pie was a good size and was thrilled with it. We both ate everything on our plates. Our waitress checked in with us a few times to refill, which was nice and came to take the plates away after we were finished. We did not get any dessert. To be honest, we did not see a lot of dessert plates coming to other tables, either. We were thinking maybe people leave to get ice cream at one of the nearby establishments. 5-Stars Price: Fair Parking: plenty near by Vibe: perfect...I would like to watch a game, someday, at the bar Pepsi/Coke: Coke Would I come again?

Everything our party of four ordered was a disappointment, starting with an ice-tea cocktail that was undrinkable-- our nice waitress took it off the bill. My grilled salmon on a bed of rice arrived as dry as the Sahara, surrounded by burnt roasted carrots -- at least I think that's what they were. My husband's steak he ordered medium rare was also way overdone, served a block of with cold mashed potatoes. The overly sweet Apple Pumpkin Bisque (for $9) went uneaten after each of us tried a spoonful -- it was more like a bowl of pie filling than soup. Even the dessert, bread pudding with some whipped cream, was gloppy and unappetizing. This is a great place to go if you are fasting.

Little did I know that it is a local chain and much loved by locals. And I can see why! We arrived at 12:30 pm on a Monday and the place was packed. By the time we left at 1:30 there were plenty of tables available, we just happened to arrive at the peak. They took our name and mobile number, and texted us when the table was ready. Smooth, no problem! Server (Michelle) was wonderful, good menu, and the food was good. I had a Tex Mex egg-potato-vegetable dish, spouse had a similar bowl, and we loved it. Super efficient, friendly, well-run. Highly recommended!

I got their veggie wrap and my dad got their grilled cheese with hot honey. We also got a side of fries to share. The fries were perfectly crispy and delicious. The wrap was warm and flavorful and perfect. The service was so kind and the food came out quickly! This is located inside a rest stop space and its food court style seating with a handful of gift shops/food places around it. Our only complaint was that the space didn't seem to have a working air conditioning. Maybe they were just trying to get folks in and out and not to linger long? There was a huge fan in the lobby but we couldn't feel any breeze from it while eating. When we left and walked outside, it was the same temperature as inside.

Two of us had the coconut curry soup and literally had to lick the bowl to make sure we du DMP t miss one drop of this. The other in our party had the salad And enjoyed it completely. The two others had the scallops and were very impressed. One of our party has a tomato allergy and they were careful not to have it on the dish. Then came dessert time. I called ahead to make sure they had carrot cake because i had read great reviews on it. It certainly lived up to those reviews. One of our guests was too full for dessert, but managed to get a spoonful of both of ours. My friend had the Boston Crean tart, and we all declared this a winner also. They were very accommodating as I had booked for four and had to call them before we came in person's plane was delayed. When I asked, because of the reviews I had read, if they would have carrot cake that evening, and the gentleman said as long as I'm here we will always have carrot cake. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a delicious, well prepared and well presented meal that is as fresh as can be. The service is wonderful and we will be back.
