    Lobster chowder
    Jay B.

    Alright. I think not having been here since 3 years ago calls for an update. Don't worry, this one will be short (sort of). No need to change my original rating because this place is still great! Which is really impressive, considering some of the staffing challenges they've had in the past. Of course, I only know that because my best friend used to work here. Still, every business has its ups and downs, so we'll move on. Last time I just had breakfast. But one thing I didn't talk about more was the lobster chowder. Or as they pronounce it in Massachusetts, "lobstah chowda". ;) Note: this is not part of the regular menu. It's a special that the owner makes on occasion. And if you ever get the chance to try it, lemme tell ya....this will knock your f**king socks off! Easily the best damn thing in soup form I have ever tasted! A solid 10 out of 10, would recommend for sure. You may even wanna call the owners up ahead of time to see when they're featuring it next. Also decided to try the Angus burger since it was technically an early dinner for me. It was alright. Not really cooked to order temp wise, since they automatically seem to cook all their beef mid-well. Despite it looking suspiciously similar to the meatloaf sandwich and also lacking a bit of seasoning, I kinda liked it irregardless. There's a certain subtlety to the flavoring. They serve theirs on a ciabatta roll. This one's a 7 out of 10 for me. It's always satisfying to see the local businesses thriving after all these years, especially on the back end of a major economic downshift. Sufficed to say, The Windham Junction is STILL worthy of 5 creamy, savory bowls of piping hot lobstah chowda out of 5.

    Never had a bad meal here. It's been a while since we've gone to Windham Junction, probably a year or so but the quality has not dropped. I grabbed a meatball sub while my clone got the kids chicken fingers. Both were excellent. He was more excited for chips, but the chicken fingers were good too. Word of advice, if the weather is nice, make sure you have someone reserving a table with some shade because those go at a premium. You can sit inside, but why would you when it's better outside? I don't really stray from my usual so I can't say if the other sandwiches are better, but the meatball is a must.

    Service was super slow but the food tasted very good. They have breakfast and lunch items and it's only about a 2 min walk from the windham rail trail. I wish the seating wasn't right on the corner of a busy road but overall I really did like this place!

Walking in 7 minutes after opening, this place was already packed. Full of Patriots fans hooping and hollering to the end of the fourth quarter. Every appeared in a merry mood, and everyone knew each other it seems. Service here was great. Our waitress whipped around the room with finesse and speed, working the bar and tables all by herself. She was to the point but pleasant. The beers are ok, but they aren't anything spectacular. An average selection of nearby beers of all varieties. Going to other breweries in New Hampshire, I know that this state can produce good beers. Perhaps they just had a mediocre selection the week I was there. We ordered a medley of items and most of it was hit and miss. In the sampler, the pork cracklings were decent, although dinner pieces were hard to chew since they turned into a dense fried bit. The fries were ok, but standard. The tator tot was actual pretty good, but there's this sweetness and texture that makes me think of pumpkin? That could be upsetting to some. The chicken tenders are ok, but the breading isn't seasoned or exciting in texture. It felt like how I would fry chicken at home with only one coat of breading. The pickle chips were good, even though they were not spicy at all. If they called these paprika coated chips, then I would agree. But texture wise, they were actually crisp and not super watery. The pulled pork tacos are ok, but they rely more on sweet barbeque sauce more than anything else. The tortillas are subpar in flavor, but sturdy enough to hold everything together. The veggies slaw did add some nice acidity though. The wedge salad here is terrible. I should have looked up what others posted before I ordered it. It was a literal wedge of plain iceberg, with all the other ingredients and fixings dumped in the middle. The stuff in the middle was ok, but nothing felt harmonious. Just a bunch of salad ingredients added to a giant paper tray. It felt like a waste of 9 dollars for what was lazy preparation.

I like the casual comfortable ambiance there. We were ignored by the elderly bar staff as they were busy cleaning up to close. Oh, they close at 9:30, more than an hour from when we arrived but clearly that was their priority. They finally took our drink and food orders. I asked if I could get a side salad instead of fries and she said no, just green beans or asparagus. The drink took awhile although it was NOT busy. My martini was about 2/3 full, so in reality not a full drink. My dates burger was shoe leather and mine was raw. Literally red and cold in the center. I showed the waitress and she said "I'm not sure what to do about that". She asked if I wanted a new one and I said yes. (I think she wanted me to give her permission to just microwave it.) She never asked my date how his was until he was done and when he told her it was overcooked she said nothing. When she returned with my new burger he was already done eating. The ramekin of ketchup on the plate was spilled all over the fries and part of the burger. I hate ketchup so this was a problem and I told her so. She just laughed and said "really?!" I ate about half my burger (the half without ketchup on it) and no fries. She asked if I wanted a box and I said absolutely not. She offered a free dessert but we were really done at that point. Service is everything. I should have waited an hour at copper door where you always get amazing service and food. If anything at all is wrong they take care of it. They don't make you feel like you are bothering them and they can't wait for you to leave so they can go home! Zero stars tonight common man.
