The Windmill Restaurant in Concord NH could teach the world a lesson in Community, Grace and Brotherly Love. Traveling on Thanksgiving Day and needed a meal! I called them and they said Free Thanksgiving is served from 11-2. Completely stunned, I asked, "Is this for a special demographic, are reservations required?" No, they replied.When we arrived, the parking lot was full with a long line of cars to pickup their free, turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, stuffing cranberry sauce, and pie! Inside, we sat down and were offered coffee, tea or soda. They were making deliveries to folks in the community! What a blessing it was to us this day! Every single family member of this operation had a smile on their face, busy bees, willing to serve and love. We tried to offer a tip, and they declined. They did take it and put it in the charity contribution. God bless this wonderful family, these core values I'm sure are the reason for their fantastic success. I will look forward to coming here again my next time through New Hampshire! And, the food was marvelous! God Bless The Windmill Restaurant!! read more

Extremely satisfied with the food here. Good portions and great pricing, this will be my GOTO every time I'm down here. Doesn't look like much from the outside but your opinion will change once you've eaten there. Trust me is Jersey people know what good food is so I'm telling you this place rocks! read more

The worst breakfast place I've ever been to so far. I ordered OL eggs and they wasn't even cooked right. Ordered a side of bacon and I got half of the bacon crisp and half bacon soft ‍ There were no bussers so we had to wait for the server to clean their tables for so long,and the server forgot about us sitting there. Service is not friendly. Didn't like food either. Never going back there. Would not recommend this place. read more

Quick consistent food - nothing particularly special about the menu, but a good place to grab breakfast. Service / meal prep has always been fast on repeat visits. read more

why would you put hash browns on the menu if you barely give any for breakfast ? i'm hungover and hungry like feed me thank you

The Windmill is the best! It has now become our goto restaurant when we travel to Concord! If you're a fish lover you will find that they really know how to fry fish, their portions are huge, and it's real fish, not the chopped up fish meal you get in many "fillets". And their French fries are wonderful! Seats are comfortable, service is excellent, and all at a fair price! We just wish we'd found it sooner! read more

First time dining at the Windmill. The service was great as was the food. We ordered a BLT and French Toast. The food cane out really fast and everything was prepared fresh. read more

The windmill is generally a solid performer. One of the waitresses is really squirrelly but harmless if you hold her at arms lenght. Overall the staff is very decent. The food is generally very good and service is very good. Always leave a nice tip as they work hard for the money. They seem a bit slow lately. I hope they survive Comrade Biden's second great recession, as I really like this place. read more

Always an excellent experience at The Windmill. Great service by an always friendly staff. Food is generous in portion at a very wallet friendly price. One of our local go to breakfast spots, should be yours too! read more

See all

Friendly and welcoming staff. The place truly understands and values customer service. Food was exactly what one would expect at a family run restaurant. Well prepared and homey. A nice experience all around. read more

Good place. Great and unique omelets, good coffee. Lunch and dinner is usually good. Quick and friendly service. Reasonably priced.

This place is outstanding. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. Better than I hoped. I had blueberry pancakes tasty and fluffy with the blueberries inside and ham which was not salty and not thick and chewy. The eggs were perfect and the potatoes we well made. Not greasy, burnt or hard. Perfect way to start a day on the slopes. read more

Went there for lunch today, had a tuna sandwich with lettuce and onion, got charged $1.50 extra for the lettuce and onion, they said there'd be an upcharge for the onion rings, got charged for a full order of onion rings, not an upcharge, so it cost $14.50 for my minimal meal, my bf's roast beef club, with an extra .75 for the onion, was cheaper. Absolutely ludicrous for a sandwich meal to be over $30! read more

I visited this place once for breakfast. typical american (omelettes, potatoes, pancakes). the restaurant was clean, with tasty food, friendly stuff and quiet. I would certainly go again! read more

Stopped for dinner. Pizza crust was ok way too much sauce. Well done patty melt came out raw had to send back. Grilled chicken sandwich dry French fries and chicken fingers blah. I have heard their breakfast is great but I probably won't go back to try it. read more

First thing breakfast ends at 2 at least on the weekend. I found nothing on the website that started this, so you'll be prepared. I've driven by & noticed several times they were busy so the husband & I decided to try it Sunday. We arrived just after 2:00. My first impression was that the carpet REALLY needed replacing, but just a good cleaning would help. Although we were in the mood for brunch we decided to give lunch a try. I ordered a "parmesan style" sausage pepper & onion sub with fries & hubby ordered a Steak pepper & onion sub. He asked for tomato & mayo. The coffee is very good here. When our bill came I noticed a .75 charge. We asked about it & the server said it was for tomato! Under the "parmesan style grinders" the menu stared "Other Grinders Served w/Lettuce, Onion, Tomato, Pickles, Green Pepper & Provolone". The Steak & Cheese was listed under this announcement. The subs were very good. The sausage was very flavorful & the peppers & onions were cooked perfectly- nice & well done! The Steak was also great but was a little under seasoned with salt. Both subs were covered with a generous pile of cheese. Our server was not very attentive. I asked for mustard twice & then hubby ended up having to get up & get it. She was very delayed in taking our order- but we did have coffee & water at least. read more

Came here for a family dinner, and had a great time! The food was a great value with giant selection, and the place is run by a family for twenty years. George was our server, and he was probably the most enjoyable waiter I've had in awhile! He also gave us free chocolate cake, so that was a plus :) read more

This is the best breakfast location on Loudon Rd. I stopped in for a late breakfast. I ordered a waffle with bacon and eggs. The bacon was a perfect medium. The waffle was a nice full size serving. Only comment here is that the waffle was a little over cooked. I ordered the eggs over medium and they were spot on. I was waited on by Jackie. She has a nice smile and pleasant voice. She made sure my coffee cup was never empty. read more

We went here this past Sunday. We were seated and waited 30-40 minutes. No one came to even take our drink order. New groups came and were taken care of right away all around us. We finally left without ordering. We have been here before several times, but have stopped coming because the service is not great - they always seem very overwhelmed. read more

I have been dragged here many times with friends who absolutely adore the place. I can say out of my 4 or 5 visits here, always for breakfast, i have never been impressed. I have gotten cold or underprepared food on pretty much each occasion, the service wasn't always bad though. With that being said, if your food comes underprepared that will typically fall on the kitchen but when the food is cold but cooked well that falls on the service. I can say i would never choose to go here for breakfast and maybe one of these days i will return here to check out the lunch but i certainly have no desire to do it any time soon. read more

Restaurant was clean, and the staff were all friendly. We were seated right away at 11AM on a Sunday. Ordered standard breakfast items (blueberry pancakes, home fries, omelettes) and our bill was only $27. Someone was even walking around just to fill up coffee cups, which was much appreciated during Daylight Savings! New to the area, and I'll definitely be back. read more

The food was great and the burgers were cooked perfectly! The fries were fantastic. And our waiter George was the best waiter to ever exist bar none. If he had a brother who was a waiter there could be no comparison. George is the best. read more

My husband and I had breakfast here today and it was delicious. They actually know how to cook eggs over medium, which a lot of places don't. The corned beef hash was crispy and very flavorful. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star review was due to our less than pleasant server. While she wasn't downright rude, I felt our presence was an inconvenience to her. I would come back here again when visiting family in Concord, I just hope to get a different server. read more

The place we go for breakfast when we go to concord. Service is friendly and prompt even on weekends when they are very busy. They have a senior menu that is generous and filling. The coffee is wonderful and worth going just for that. Sausage and bacon are cooked right for me. The family owners are very present and work along side the wait staff. Strong recommendation from us. read more

Phenom breakfast...phenom service. Went to that "NEW" place last week. The Windmill by far is the place to go.

After years of driving by we finally decided to give this place a try. It's American food, diner style, seat yourself restaurant. Our waitress was friendly, and brought us drinks quickly along with a basket of free bread. The food came out very quickly and the portion sizes were pretty large. I got the chicken fingers and French fries. Overall I liked it, and would go here again. Only downside is that you only get one free refill on soda. read more

The Windmill Restaurant - You can't go wrong with chicken tenders! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

A great breakfast this morning, and even though they were super busy we got our food quickly and the waitstaff was friendly and efficient!

Slowwwww Service. Below par food. Wasn't to happy with the quality of the food. Cooks were horsing around in he back which might be the reason everyone In the the place had to wait forever for heir food. read more

I had a great experience at the Windmill and learned my lesson first hand about judging a book by it's cover. I was reluctant to try this place, but I'm glad I did. The closest to diner fare around Concord that this native NYer has found - I can't wait to go back. I can only remark upon their breakfast. The food came out quickly and everything tasted great! The portions were perfect and the service was good, also. I really have no complaints. read more

Yeah, this is a go-to place for Saturday and Sunday mornings... They offer the (what I now know as) standard new england fare or eggs/meat/deep fried taters for breakfast. I'm sorry but on the west coast, they serve taters like these slightly pan-fried after being blanched and with onions and peppers and sometimes tomatoes or they serve hash browns like any _respectable_ breakfast joint should imnsho. At the very least the servers are pretty efficient. Omelettes are decent and the standard fare is done well. Solid to above-average breakfasts. read more

This is a great breakfast spot. I ate here in mid-August while traveling the country. They are friendly, attentive, and the food is excellent. Their prices are very reasonable; two can eat for under $20. I definitely recommend this place. read more

While the food is good, tonight's service was horrible!!! We walked around 5:30 and there were only 3 other customers already inside. Initially service was ok. Our server, Paul, did not know the specials and when we asked he went to read the board came halfway back to us then approached the other waitress who gave him a piece of paper. He hands it to me. It was on an order sheet, very small and very difficult to read, I gave up after trying to decipher the first 2 items. We order our dinner and requested Clam strips in stead of Clams. Our order comes and there are Clams not Clam strips. He takes the plate back and almost immediately comes back with the Clams removed and proceeds to say it will be a few minutes for the strips. Paul comes over to offer me more coffee to which I politely decline. He never asks if I wanted something else to drink. He then serves 3 other tables with rolls, which we were not offered. We finish our dinner and combine our dishes in preparation for take home and sit patiently... 10 minutes go by and he has not approached us. I catch his eye as he goes by to ask for a box, he acknowledges. Another 15 minutes goes by and still no box!! I catch his eye again and he throws his hands up and nods. Box finally appears and we pack up the leftovers, 8 minutes later he still has not approached us to see if we wanted anything else or to offer dessert. I catch his eye yet again and ask for the check.. he nods and goes to get it. Check is on the table with my card on top very visibly. He proceeds to walk by us another 3 times, the last time I ask if I bring it up or does he take it, he takes it and comes back. As a result I left less than a 10% tip. As we left I asked the other server if he was new, she said no... after explaining the situation she suggested talking to the manager. I shared with the "manager" our experience, to which he responded with "I'm very sorry to hear that" multiple times. And that he would talk with him later tonight. He also said "Hope you'll come back". I said we'd think about it. No offer to rectify the situation.... Now I wasn't looking for anything however an offer to come back with an appetizer or dessert on the house would have been a nice gesture!! I felt as though the tone from the manager was fake as he didn't come across sincere. We will most likely go back however it may be sometime before that happens and you can bet we will be sure to get a different server!!! We were not looking for all of the servers attention nor would we expect that from any restaurant!! And yes we are aware that they service several tables at once however basic check ins were not done and having to wait 15 minutes and then reminding the server for a box after he walked by us several times once with another tables box was very frustrating! read more

The windmill reminded me of a friendlies, without the ice cream, wide selection of food on the menu, all of which is average tasting for a cheap price. not sure if I will be making a return trip read more

Great lunch spot, the waitress was very friendly, the food was great. Recommend this family restaurant if your visiting the Concord area.

We really enjoy this place for breakfast. Good food, friendly staff and a nice family runs it. I enjoy coming here with our family because the menu has something for everyone. Nice sized portions good prices. Coffee is good, pancakes and omlettes are awesome. The kids enjoy the French toast too. read more

My wife and I had eaten breakfast a few times at The Windmill and it was usually good, so we figured we would give them a try for dinner. BIG MISTAKE. The waitress suggested prime rib, so my wife and I both ordered medium-rare prime rib. It came with a meatball minestrone soup, which was salty and contained no meatballs, but was still okay. Then the prime rib came out. My wife's prime rib was grey and dry, definitely cooked well-done, almost past well-done. Mine was a bit better, but not by much. When the waitress came back over, we showed her the steaks and she agreed that they seemed to be overcooked. She took them back and offered to bring us cuts cooked more to the specifications we had ordered. When she took the steaks back I could hear the cook - I can only assume he was also the owner or manager since he wasn't fired on the spot - yelling at the waitress that there was nothing wrong with the steaks. His voice was raised enough so that we could hear him out in the middle of the restaurant. He was shouting at the waitress, saying that we didn't know what medium rare was, that he was running a business, and he wasn't taking the steaks back. After about a half a minute of hearing him argue with the waitress, I went to the counter and offered to just pay for our drinks and soup and leave. Another cook came out and offered to get us prime rib that was actually medium-rare. He apologized for the other cook and said that he sometimes had trouble reading the tickets. I told him that I have eaten a lot of prime rib and the ones they sent out were definitely not medium-rare. He agreed and offered again to bring us out new steaks. When the new steaks came out, they were medium at best, but at least not grey and dry like the first two. If I owned a restaurant, I would have been embarrassed to serve them as a $17 cut of prime rib. I've probably had worse prime rib at a buffet or cafeteria, but The Windmill's prime rib was close to the worst I've ever had. At this point, my wife and I just wanted to get out of that restaurant as soon as possible. We could still hear the other cook/owner complaining as we ate. The other cook offered us dessert on the house, but we politely declined, paid, and left. In conclusion: bad food and terrible service (except our waitress, who was very nice). If you really need someplace to have breakfast, I'd try them if everywhere else was too busy, but definitely steer clear of The Windmill for dinner. read more

enjoyed this place. I had some time to kill while waiting for a friend to get out of work and stopped by this place. It was pretty good. I really enjoyed the chocolate chip pancakes. service here was good read more

Tried this place recently for breakfast. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Food came out quickly and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely go back. read more

The food for dinner was not good. The chicken appears to be frozen then cooked by how chewy it is. When told to the waitress nothing was done she just said I am not the cook. Would not recommend and I would not go back read more

I've been to this restaurant twice. The service has been excellent with friendly waitstaff and quick wait times. The food is just ok...at least for the dishes I tried (spaghetti dinner and egg benedict ). The spaghetti sauce was pretty salty to me. It may have been because sauce was sitting in heated unit all day. Maybe the chef likes a lot of salt- I don't know. It was acceptable but would I order again?...probably not. The egg benedict was not authentic because it was composed of grilled toast, fried eggs, what looked like grilled deli ham, and a hollandaise sauce that seemed like it was made from a mix. The authentic version has English muffin, Canadian bacon, poached eggs, and a sauce made from scratch. It tasted ok but I wouldn't order it again either. My food was delivered piping hot and my waitress was very attentive. The place was clean and comfortable to be in. I might try again and just get basic stuff like fried eggs with bacon or just a burger. A lot of people are very loyal customers and many people have said the breakfast is good. Maybe you just have to know what to order there. Wish I could give better rating. Sorry. read more
