    Grilled chicken sandwich with tots
    R. M.

    2.5 stars this last visit... We have been eating here for a number of years being that it is down the road from our home. The new management initially was a good thing, and the food was stellar for a while, but this visit was just not that great. My wife's Chicken sandwich was ok, her main complaint was the red peppers which were on it were not drained and were sloppy wet and made the bottom bun disintegrate as she was eating. My Liver and Onions was again just ok. The Liver was overcooked and like cutting leather at times... the mashed potatoes were cold, not even a hint of warmth in them and as far as a "vegetable" I was not asked, nor do I know if there was a choice, and corn is a starch, a grain, technically not a veg, but to serve it with another starch was unappealing, should have come with a green vegetable... broccoli or green beans which are in season now... I really want them to be great, but I am more disappointed each time I visit... Overall, the staff is generally very pleasant and helpful, but the food quality is slipping from when they initially re-opened back up...

    Great spot! Staff is great, food is great. They have a huge breakfast and lunch menu with plenty for everyone. My guy got the southern breakfast bowl which he gobbled up but wanted a little more flavor in the gravy. I had a grilled corn muffin to start and honestly I could've made my meal out of 6 of these but....I got the little spoon which had a bit of everything and hit the spot. Pancake was a little thick. All in all, it was yummy!

    What a wonderful North Country restaurant for breakfast & lunch. To the point: The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable & simple. The servers are prompt & polite. The food is wholesome, tasty & very affordable. I'll be coming back!

    Second time in a month because they have Absolutely delicious food with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Glad to see that this restaurant is doing great as it's just 25 minutes from home

    Overwhelming Reuben sauerkraut & dressing was going to get poor rating but waitress nice enough to swap out for alternative. I picked meatloaf & mash potato-- fool proof, right? And free wifi! Yay! Great local alternative to McDonalds. Meatloaf & mash excellent choice for $15.

    I first had wicked fresh at the fryeburg fair in 2025- they were selling their chicken nuggets and…read morethey were probably my favorite dish at the fair this year. We were back in the fryeburg area and decided to try their actual fast casual restaurant and got burgers. It was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. I got their signature wicked burger and the layering of veggies is SUPERB. Such a good amount of pickle slices! My partner was reminded of in and out burgers when eating his. I think they were better than in and out! The quality is amazing for the price. We go upta camp in east fryeburg and usually I am not motivated to go into North Conway in the summer for lunch. That is going to change now that I know about this place!

    Longtime fan let down by a weird excuse and missing ingredients…read more.. I've always been a fan of Wicked Fresh Craft Burgers, but my recent experience with the Wicked Steak Salad was a major letdown. I specifically chose this dish for the blue cheese pairing, but it arrived with almost no cheese at all. * Missing Ingredients: I found maybe two tiny crumbles in the entire container. If it were just sold as a "Wicked Steak Salad" without the blue cheese in the name, it would be accurate--but I ordered it specifically for the combo. * Lack of Evidence: As you can see in the photo I've attached, there is zero sign of blue cheese throughout the greens or on the steak. * Poor Service Response: When I called to let them know, I was told the cheese "must have melted into the steak." Looking at the picture, the steak clearly isn't hot enough to have vaporized the cheese. I'm disappointed that instead of acknowledging a simple kitchen error, the staff treated me like I was seeing things. I hate leaving negative reviews for places I previously liked, but being treated like you're crazy when you're just trying to provide helpful feedback is not cool. I hope they take more accountability in the future.

Then the burgers came out and what great flavor! I had the House burger with Caramelized onions, withheld the jalapeños, and thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Husband had the Cheeseburger, no onion!

Located in the Old Port they offer outdoor seating to expand seating. This restaurant is SMALL! Be aware that they only have stool seating, no low tables or chairs. We walked in and started looking for the rest of the restaurant and what you see, is it. Thankful for the seats at the bar. Menu is unique with various spins on the staple burger. We decided to share the Bacon bacon burger with some fries. Beers on tap, various signage with cows, chickens, and a pig to symbolize the variety offered. Bartender/server was social with all and happy to answer any questions. Gentleman I sat next to is a construction worker who's here for an extended stay while building says he's here twice a week the burgers are so good. We shall see. Burger and fries a short time after ordering. Burger was very good, bacon bacon bacon YUM!! Fries were crispy outside and tender inside. Billing is a first, NOTHING comes with your $20 burger, nothing! Fries are an additional charge. Unusual and costly. $30 total for a burger and fries is steep. It was very good, but not sure we will return.

The chili dog is SO good and the chili itself deserves its own fan club honestly. Everything tastes fresh, messy in the best way, and exactly what you want from a retro burger spot. The vibe is half the fun too -- I swear they added even more games since the last time I came. It feels like a hidden little retro hangout where you can eat comfort food and actually have fun while you're there. Definitely one of those places that becomes a regular spot fast. Total hit every single time.

I'm only giving it two…read morestarts because our kids like the little arcade.. but the food is SO overpriced and underwhelming. A friggin milkshake is over 10 dollars BEFORE tax. What??? Burger patties are wicked thin, fries are just some plain, frozen crap and the shake had a bizarre cookie coating around the top. Not the edge/rim, the whole like, 1/4 top of the cup was coated in crumbs.. which got everywhere and made it inedible and impossible to put in a cup holder if you wanted to bring it home with you. Just so weird. It's also just gross in there in general. To be honest, all of that would be forgivable if the staff were at least the slightest bit nice. They are all so incredibly rude. They are young and I get that Covid ruined their formidable socialization years, but it's actually crazy how awful they are. Can't even get them to crack a smile or a "thank you". Sorry, not to be a boomer, but if I'm spending 55 bucks on two burgers some fries and a shake, I'd like some good customer service. Definitely save your money. There are lots of other options in the area.

    We were really looking forward to The Patty Shack, we came all the way from Vermont. The experience…read morestarted strong with a deceptively nuanced waiting area that greets you upon your arrival with a no nonsense ordering system, devoid of any human interaction. The prices are great but the star of the show is the entertainment programmer who has provided avant garde TikTok reaction videos, edited over an endless loop of ragtime music, which pushes the medium of burger entertainment to new heights. However, this surreal experiential burger installation has a decidedly unsatisfactory burger (which in hindsight may be the message the artist is trying to convey with their piece). The burger forces the patron into a self reflective spiral upon first bite. So potently wet and swampy, the bun begins to disintegrate immediately as all of the toppings slide into the palm of your hand. Leaving you with a fistful of slop. 10/10 would recommend for any patron of the arts looking for a one of kind burger exhibition. 1/10 would not recommend if you're hungry.

The Kiosk they said to use was dead, we had already ordered on line fortunately. The information said the food would be left in a window, the only window there said "Do Not Enter"and had no place to leave food. I get it, it's supposed to be cheap but I had the feeling at first that I had ordered and the place was closed. Then it asks for tip. Left a 20% tip when I ordered using my card, all the service was, they brought food out to sit in a very cold unheated area. Next time, if there is a next time, I won't leave a tip since service is nonexistent.
