My friend and I tried here for lunch and were pleased with the food and cheerful service. My chicken croquets were delicious, it came with butternut squash, which was a nice choice, and our french fries were hot and tasty. She said her meatloaf sandwich could have had a bit more flavor, but she still liked it. We will be back. read more

Came in for breakfast on 7/25/2025. Place was busy but we were quickly seated at the bar (had the option to wait for a booth or table, would have been about ten minutes, very reasonable). Our server was Ronda, she did a decent job, especially considering how busy she was. I ordered 3 buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and a side of sausages. The Pancakes were large, fairly fluffy and the real maple syrup was good (2.95 up charge, but worth it.). The downside was 3 sausage links for $4.25 if I had to guess the Jones frozen ones, not good. My wife ordered a breakfast sandwich which came with home fries. She ordered some corned beef hash (but it never came). She said both were good. Price was very reasonable, Food was average when all things factored in. If you're looking for breakfast it's a decent local choice. read more

If you've ever wanted to eat soggy diner food while shouting at your loved ones across a cramped table, congratulations -- you've found your paradise. The place is so overcrowded it feels like they're hosting a fire code violation convention. The waitstaff scurry around with all the warmth of an IRS audit, clearly too busy to offer a single pleasantry. Fine, I can handle efficient service -- but I draw the line at biohazard levels of hygiene. After enduring a mediocre meal, I made the mistake of using the restroom. There, I witnessed a horror scene: a woman left the stall and marched right out without washing her hands. Moments later, I saw her again -- serving food to unsuspecting diners. Disgusting doesn't even begin to cover it. As a final insult, it's cash only. I can only assume that's so they can dodge taxes and squirrel away enough hush money for the inevitable lawsuits once the health department gets wind of their bacterial buffet. Save yourself the ear damage, the stomach risk, and the existential despair. Eat literally anywhere else. read more

I have had breakfasts at 4 and 5 star hotels. Village Kitchen has them beat. The Village Kitchen is the greatest place in the world for breakfast. Its just a fact. Rhonda and the team there are all great; fast, quick, knowledgeable, friendly. Unreal! Their eggs, toast, those home fries done right ( little onion, wedge-cut potato's-top shelf.) Their pancakes..amazing! Plus, a really great view outside of the mountains. Lots of nice locals there. Beware; esp on weekends, there will be a long line. It moves as fast as it can, but you will still more than likely wait in line for a darn good breakfast. Cash Only. read more

Sorry we are regular customers but the prime rib we had was tougher than a shoe tongue.

We like to eat out early before a restaurant gets too busy. It was not crowded at all from 4:30 to 5:30 on a Friday. Our server was very competent and friendly. I had the Friday night special: broiled haddock with the sweet potato fries and salad. This was the best haddock EVER. The fries were perfect and the salad was OK. I can't wait to go again! read more

We've been here twice over the last couple of weeks. The food is good. It comes out quickly. Waitresses are good but seem stressed. We will come back. The vibe is small town NH. read more

This restaurant was very clean , Amazing down home Country cooking. Our server Chelsea was friendly, very attentive and gave us great recommendations. The food was outstanding. We would definitely come back! We had the Chicken Croquettes, which is like a deep fried Turkey and stuffing dinner in a ball. The chopped Sirloin was incredible. With butternut squash, Mash potatoes and the best Onion rings I have ever had. The homemade Blueberry pie makes your mouth water it was so good. Was very nice to have some real home cooking this far away from our home which is Texas. read more

Have eaten both breakfast and dinner here. Good food and great value for the money. Cash only.

I've got to say no matter how busy the VK is they manage to move a crowd right along with swift service, fast and accurate. The waitstaff very friendly and the food is yummy. We celebrated my husband's surprise birthday there and I couldn't have been happier with everything!!! Thanks to all. read more

A local favorite, this place is fantastic for breakfast but be sure arrive by 11:30 to partake. They often have daily specials but the most common and popular dish is the Farmer's Breakfast which will surely satisfy your appetite! You can order either French Toast or Pancakes but opted for the recommendation. Service was lightning quick, even with the late morning rush. Thank you Cassandra for making our first experience so enjoyable! Bon appétit! read more

Well when you walk in the don't take cards so if you want to eat you have to take money out of atm. The owner of the atm machine who is the restaurant gets $2.50 then your bank will charge you. So for my I paid $5.50 just to sit down while I just give the restaurant $2.50 already. Most times when I place does this I leave however no other close places to eat and thought this place was going to be amazing. Let's just say it's very far from it. McDonald's would have been better. I ordered the hungry man breakfast. Toast was burnt, French toast was a thin slice of bread and zero flavor. What happened to Texas toast and cinnamon for French toast. It was pretty thin. The home fries good part real potatoes (that's the one star) however the flavor was just pepper. Nothing else. They were awful. I would have just left but I'm stuck working up here so I forced myself to eat some of it. The bacon did not taste like real bacon. Really tastes like turkey bacon. It was not good bacon at all. The plate was also 13.95 but then add the $5.50 I had to pay just to sit it's a very expensive breakfast especially when it was awful and I mean awful. I will not ever step foot in this place. My vision of comfor food home cooked meal has vanished. And the bacon I think that's the worst the bacon w read more

I would say that this place is absolutely amazing. My family (mother and brother) and I were visiting the lakes region in New Hampshire and were on a short weekend trip. It was the morning of our return, we planned on arriving back home pretty late so we took our time searching for a spot to eat that was open on Sunday. We luckily found your beautiful breakfast place and it was pretty spectacular to say the least. I usually don't write lengthy reviews on regular looking breakfast diners but this is an exception. The first thing that we are welcomed to is the option to sit wherever we want which is a great option for me. I got a hot chocolate, my mother got a hot coffee and my brother got a root beer. The hot chocolate was very clearly high quality and the root beer of my brother was much, much higher quality than any root beer I've tried. I haven't even started on how amazing the pancakes were. To sum it all up, I think me and my mothers outlook on life has been changed forever due to these pancakes. I got a chocolate chip one and dearest mother got a blueberry one. The frequency and the abundance of the ingredients was absolutely perfect. There were so many chocolate chips and so many blueberries in each pancake. The dough had a perfect density and didn't make me feel sick if i ate too much, like other pancakes did. Not to mention the very generous scoop of butter that was served on top of it that melted perfectly, AND the very cute little glass bottle the syrup was served in (the syrup was SO GOOD by the way. it was perfect as well). My brother got a breakfast sandwich served on a bagel that I didn't try because i'm not a huge fan of breakfast bagels, but he really seemed to enjoy it so thats good . What I did try, though, were the potato wedges that were served to accompany it. I loved those a LOT and the seasoning it was served with and how it was fried was perfect. To wrap things up, I'd say that this place is ABSOLUTELY worth going to, including the nice view of a couple of mountains you can see if you sit to the back side of the restaurant. 10/10, changed my outlook on life. read more

Cash only! Step back in time a bit. Staff super nice and good and coffee good. Had eggs Benedict and a meatloaf omlette. Homemade bread, fresh ground coffee, cinnamon bun with awesome view of the mountain. The cinnamon bun is a 'must get one to go' menu item. Even a bear to greet you. read more

Love this little spot, located in an older building and they only take cash (or personal check?). I don't have a problem with either. We had the soup (lobster bisque) perfect temperature chunks of lobster meat and just the right amount of sherry. Hubby had special fried haddock. It was crisp and flavorful. I had a grilled cheese. Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Wait staff was attentive and pleasant. Don't look for gourmet meals or fancy digs, but go for a down home cooked meal. Great menu. Patrons were mostly senior citizens and we all know they like value and quality. They don't just give their money to anyone. Oh! And do yourself a favor and have a piece of homemade pie. To the reviewer who complained about the dip in the floor, we felt it too but thankfully we didn't have to eat on the floor. read more

Popular with the locals but not a great choice. The building has severe setting issues. The floor has a valley in it. The food is basic Sysco served on school plastic plates. Prices are ok , which is the draw, but have increased . No credit cards , and help seem to new to the business. You can find better. read more

Stopped by here starving and excited for our first meal from backcountry camping. We decided to go for the tuna melt and the seafood salad roll with sweet potato fries. Although fresh, both sandwiches tasted quite bland. Hopefully, the fried seafood platters they offer are much better. Our server was darling though - very nice. read more

I arrived to Village Kitchen with a large group of my associates, all very hungry and expecting a pleasant experience. Upon looking over their menu I was surprised to see a " Fried Chicken Burger " option. This place was very diner-esque, so seeing this on the menu definitely caught my attention. I decided to go for it, after all life is all about trying new things. I paired my food order with a diet coke, which came in a very cool cup, I was excited about that. When the food started to come out I prepared my palate accordingly by taking a few sips of water. Upon receiving my " Fried Chicken Burger " I was appalled to see a chicken patty that looked like it had come from an elementary school cafeteria, sitting atop a bun that was severely over-toasted. I was beside myself to say the least. Offering a Fried Chicken Burger on the menu, and being delivered something that is clearly not fried is upsetting to say the least. I really like fried food. My acquaintance, Matthew, who was sitting directly in front of me giggled upon seeing my food. I felt as if i was wearing a dunce cap, a complete and utter fool, feeling sad and impotent. I mustered up the courage to try my food, and to no surprise it disappointed me. I ended up only eating the bun with some mayonnaise spread lightly on it. This was a complete and utter failure of a lunch. I can confidently say I will not be returning to Village Kitchen. read more

Decent breakfast and lunch place with some dinner on some evenings. Great meatloaf. Service is good

Excellent steak tips! Melt in your mouth! The chicken fingers are homemade and also delicious. My husband chose the BLT and it was top notch, and the meatloaf was good!! Very cozy, homemade food! Our waitress was friendly, and very attentive. read more

Many people love this place, but I'm not sure why. It's about the only place people can get breakfast near my house, so I've taken a bunch or friends there (you know, folks who like to go out to breakfast because they're used to living near Denny's or similar) Seating area is awkward. Service is not so good. This place makes a bad breakfast by my cooking standards, which is saying something. I can abuse an egg or make limp hash browns as well as anyone. Services is abrupt and cranky and food is just so-so if I'm being extra kind. (There's a restaurant in Boston that specializes in this and I knew a bunch of people who went there for the fun of it. Guess what, service here is not fun. ) I don't ask for a lot, so long as the waitress listens to what I say, brings me the right thing and doesn't appear to want to spit on me I'm cool. Not so here folks. No matter how polite and minimal you are you still feel like they hate you and your friends. And I'm from here, which makes it all the more confusing. I have nothing about me that makes people cranky. I'm so polite I'm talking to a therapist about my inability to stand up for myself , and I have no baggage with the owners or the employees (local thing everyone knows everything about everyone, but seriously these people don't know me. And I was outrageously polite to all of them and left big tips that weren't deserved 4x) 2nd worst hash browns I ever saw. Coffee is okay. Their remarks about grits are offensive. I was born in NH and I think you're being small minded and possibly racist when I see that kind of junk on your menu. I generally don't like eating anywhere I have to look at taxidermy... but at least the dead things aren't in the seating area. Anyway, they've been in business for a long time. My best guess is it's all tourist traffic. But even if you're a tourist and you're super hungry please don't take this place as an example of NH personalities, because that would make me and many locals really sad read more

Our family loves coming here for a hearty country meal that doesn't cost a lot of money. We normally come for breakfast - pancakes, waffles, french toast, omlettes, corned beef hash, etc. The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is prompt and friendly. It's not very fancy - paper napkins, plastic plates and plain flatware, but it's clean and a nice homey atmosphere. Note: They do NOT take credit or debit cards! Cash or checks only. They DO have an ATM machine in the foyer though. Like I mentioned above, it's not expensive. It's in the ballpark of $7 per person for breakfast. They have a small kids section on the menu. They do not offer any sort of coloring sheets or activities for kids, so you might bring a coloring book in with you if your kids need something like that. On the bright side, the food comes quick so you won't be waiting long. This morning when we had breakfast there, it was pretty busy, and as a result pretty noisy inside. My family had all just rolled out of bed, so we had bed-head and my wife made me wipe the dried druel off the side of my face after we sat down at the table in the restaurant. We at least put on clothes before we went though. There were other people in the restaurant still wearing their pajamas - no joke! My mother-in-law tells me that they have really good home-cooked meals for dinner, too - things like pot roast or meat loaf, etc. I have not been there for dinner, but I suspect it would be good stuff based on my experiences there at breakfast. Location Note: The map that shows up on Yelp is WAY off. Village Kitchen is right on Route 25, on the right hand side as you drive northbound away from Center Harbor. If you get to the school at Blake Road in Moultonborough, then you went too far. It's about 0.9 miles south of Blake Road (where the school is). read more

Village kitchen is one of our favorite breakfast spots in the area. Portions are great and the food always comes out very quick.

Small portions/overpriced Poor food quality. Fish chowder tasteless. Cole slaw was rancid. Chicken cordon bleu sandwich was a chicken tender, a cold piece of ham on it and an un-melted slice of cheese. Ordered clam boat. Got 9 clam pieces. Told we only give 2 ounces for any of the seafood boats and 4 ounces for the dinners. At that rate, they sell their seafood for $48 a pound. Quadruple market price. Cooks did not have any type of hair retention nor did they wear gloves while preparing food. The State Health Department would have a field day. Waitress refilled sodas pouring out of glasses from the dispenser. My granddaughter had root beer, the waitress shoved the glass into her face and said does this smell like root beer. Very Unprofessional. The waitress also decided she would be smart and hit me on the head with a menu on her way by our able uttering, "You got any other questions?" This wasn't our first time at this establishment, but it will certainly be our l read more

The food was great..BUT.. the service was terrible. The girl at the front counter said "how many?" We replied 4. Two of our party were still walking in from the parking lot. She said "where's the rest of you?" Then proceeded to hand us menus and said there's a table in the back. There were 2- one in each separate corner. We didn't know which one to pick. Never been to a restaurant where there's a hostess but handed menus and then left to seat ourselves. The waitress waited on everyone else around us that arrived after us before finally taking our order after 15 minutes of waiting. We realized those parties knew the waitress because at one point she sat down and chatted with them for awhile. When we went to pay the same young girl that handed us menus didn't say a word as I handed her the check. She said the total. I handed her the money and she handed me the change and didn't say one word. Not "how was your meal?" Or "thank you".. nothing. She was the rudest restaurant employee I've ever encountered. My family has been vacationing in the lakes area for over 50 years and I'm disappointed when we encounter service like this. Fortunately wait staff in other places are somewhat friendly. read more

This place is conveniently located and has reasonable business hours. If you like plain, unsophisticated food in a cafeteria atmosphere, you'll love it here. There must be lots of people who like bland food - it's usually crowded and sometimes the wait line runs out the door. In general the food is just average. Breakfast bacon and eggs are frequently exceedingly greasy. Usually the waitresses are moody, at best, and surly at worst. After three different meals gave me an upset stomach, I stopped patronizing the place... read more

I went here for my birthday with a friend. We walked in and, Holy Mother, what was that heavenly smell? Fresh Cinnamon Rolls, My Friends. We ordered one as a breakfast appetizer (it was my bday, no judging) and it was huge and light and amazing. I ordered the 2 egg bkfst and it was cheap and tasty. My buddy's omelet looked to die for. it was huge and full of super veggies. All fresh and perfectly cooked. Sprawled out over this big plate. If I lived closer I would consider going here over Sunshine and Pa's (and THAT is saying a lot). The service was super fast and friendly. Also important, they only take cash or check (probably only local checks). Worth the minor inconvenience. read more

Village Kitchen - Farmers breakfast!!! W / Beans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Moultonborough, New Hampshire

Pros: Fast service, great prices (Can't beat a large omelette, home fries, 4 slices of toast, and unlimited coffee for under $8) Cons: Our waitress wasn't the most friendly, seemed agitated that I asked her to repeat the bread selection...and had no patience for waiting while people decided what they wanted to order. Also, omelette was a bit too salty, but still ok. Make sure to bring cash, they don't accept card. There is an ATM machine inside the restaurant. read more

Helloooooooooo Village Kitchen! Why's it been so long? I've been here 3 times- twice for breakfast and once for dinner. Breakfasts have been in the summer and the one dinner was either early winter-early spring. Right off the bat, I can tell you I docked 1 star for no cards. That's the only bad thing I've seen with this place. First of all, excellent menu selection! All the breakfast staples are covered there. The pancakes I had a while back were really good, and the poached eggs on corned beef hash I had recently were excellent. Eggs were perfectly poached! Hooray! My friend had an omelette, which she enjoyed. The menu said their bread was home-baked, but I think it was just the white bread (friend had white, I had wheat). No problem! Toast was not the main affair here. To be honest, I can only remember a few things about my dinner because it was like a year ago. BUT- their clam chowder is excellent. No idea why my palate picked the Village Kitchen's chowder to enjoy the most, but here we are. I am PRO-VK chowder. The ambiance was really nice inside for winter. Prices were as good as the meals. We do LOL about their prime rib special cause they seem to have it all the time and my mom doesn't really like this place because "the inside reminds me of a cafeteria." but I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good, cheap meal in a really cozy atmosphere. read more
