    I've stopped in with new ownership and it's not worth the $6+ I spent on less than a scoop of soft serve ice cream. The service was OK -- unfriendly and not welcoming. Never spent over $6 for a few inches of soft serve ice cream in my life... next time Dairy Queen will be it for my treat!

    The total paid (with a extra side and a tip) and the "refund" for their error.

    I looked up items on the menu. What we wanted was $30 for the "Pladda for Two" featuring three double-sized meat options, two sides, and cornbread. When I got there to order, the price was $8 more. Okay, prices rise. I ordered and was quoted a price. But, it was higher than quoted because of the 4% markup for credit. Okay.... Then, when I got home with the order, it seemed the portion of pulled chicken was small and we were missing the pulled pork completely! So I called. I was told I could drive back to get the missing portions. I said that was not acceptable. I was offered a refund. I thought that was better. I was told it would be $6, which seemed low considering the $38 pricetag (the large size of the side we ordered is $4, so $8 for double, let's say $2 for the cornbread, that leaves $28, split 3 ways should be $9+). But, I accepted. The resulting refund was $4.52 and not what was offered. It may seem like much "to do" about $1.48, but it is about all of it, each little thing piled on to the final, lowball outcome.

    Pulled Chicken on top of Ribs
    BB Q.

    Review is only based on their BBQ food. Got the 2 meat combo with Ribs and pulled chicken, they had pulled pork and hot sausage too. At first look the chicken was all multicolored with the white and dark meat but also the amount of seasoning on each piece was different. I would say it was more "chopped" than pulled. Juicy meat, like it was stewing all day like some pulled meat dishes are made. A bit chewy for my taste but not terrible. Flavor was like a bad lemon flavor to me, not a fan. Rib came wrapped up in the tin foil that the chicken was in, I completely understand why they do that but its weird cause the steam and juice from the chicken make it seem like it was all cooked in the same foil. I couldn't grab the bones because they didn't stick out like St. Louis Style does. What I would call oven baked style more than smoked. A bit more tender than the chicken, but I just wasn't getting great flavor from the meat or the spices. The rub had a lot of very "dry" style spices, stuff that's neither hot, sweet, or powerful. So it really didn't make an impact. They told me the potato salad was one of their favorites. This potato salad is that store bought, sweet onion, miracle whip, red bliss potato salad. I myself really like this style but I know most people don't. Beans were Drowning in Gravy sauce. Some bacon or pork, some bell peppers, pinto beans. Bean didn't really hit me with flavor as much as the gravy did, but even the gravy wasn't much. Traditional New England style though, not bad. Cornbread came it it's own container and it was still hot! I don't think that is a regular thing but it was a good piece. It tasted like they have a generic store bought mix but then they doctored it a little bit to make it a bit better. Sauces were pretty thick, smokey was my favorite, but the meats were so juicy I would never put sauce on them.

    Adam burger with pulled pork
    Stephen D.

    I understand they just opened from winter break, but you shouldn't forget how to make a burger. I ordered the Adam burger which features their pulled pork. First off the bun was a bit charred, nothing I couldn't over look. The burger nice charbroiled taste, but lacking any form of seasoning. Veggies were a nice treat, but a bit heavy on the tomato slices. Wife ordered the Arnie burger which is just their bacon cheeseburger. Nothing too spectacular, under seasoned patty as well, and no bacon to be found anywhere. As for the Chili Cheese fries, or lack of, tastes like canned Hormel chili and some tasteless cheese sauce on about a handful size amount of fries. I understand it's not a large order, maybe put it in a small container so it looks like your getting more? Overall not a great first impression for the summer season.

    This is the sort of local joint every town needs...drive up and get an ice cream cone or a burger and run into your friends while you're there. Sadly, most of these "American Graffiti" or "Happy Days" places are long gone. Not so in Concord--Arnie's has been there for years and is still going strong, with a wall of "Best in NH" type plaques on the wall to prove it The menu features all the standard food made fast, plus some surprises, like Southern pulled pork bbq along with hot dogs and hamburgers of every description. French fries that are really good! Ice cream in about 30 flavors also on tap. Friendly service, and you can eat at a counter or take your food outdoors to a picnic table. The lines sometimes get long in summer, but don't be put off by them. Arnie's slings good food and the lines prove it.

    Cheeseburgers, fries and a couple of shakes.

    Always try to get to Arnie's when we fly into Boston. It's a drive to get there (about an hour and a half north into Concord, but we'll worth it. The best burgers and shakes. The place is cute and the staff great. I would definitely go miles out of my way for a burger and fries at Arnie's!!!!!!

    At our request they encrusted this cake with our recipients favorite candy- Nerds!

    Friday Night: we were driving up to the lake and decided to stop to get something to eat in…read moreConcord. My son looked on his phone and came across Barley House. 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? Sure...we enjoyed ourselves and the food and service was excellent

    Nice enough place for families with young kids or 20-somethings looking to get drunk, but forget…read moreabout the food! 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.

    I'm so glad there's a place in Concord to stop in for authentic African cuisine. Maddy's Food Hub…read moreopened on Fort Eddy Road near Planet Fitness recently. The space has a homey atmosphere with seating in the dining area and a takeout counter. After seeing their small grocery Mart next to Man Yee Express in the Heights, I decided to head to their small restaurant for takeout. I ordered the Banku & Fried Fish ($17 plus tax) and the owner asked me how spicy, referring to the sauce that comes with it. I was given the spicy sauce and the non spicy tomato sauce on the side. My food was ready to go in about 15 minutes. The boxed dinner had a dense balled cornmeal (slight salt flavor) served with fried croaker fish with bones with shredded onion, and pepper on the side and hot & mild sauces on the side. The hot flaky fish needed to be carefully deboned before enjoying. The sauces were great with my food and with the Banku, the dinner was filling to eat. I will keep Maddy's Food Hub on my list of places to stop for a fresh cooked African meal.

    Let me start by saying the food is delightful. While I am far from an expert consumer of this…read morecuisine, I have consistently enjoyed the Jollof rice, the fried plantains, the chicken gizzards, and their goat dishes. The portions are generous and the food is wonderfully spicy. The restaurant is very loud as they play music on a sizable PA system in a relatively small space. I would not recommend eating in for anyone with auditory sensory processing differences. That said, if you're going to eat here, pay cash or go somewhere else. In our last visit (October 2024), my credit card was triple billed for our meal. The staff told us that it was a problem with Square. Cool. I've dealt with Square. Square can be a pain, I get it. Sadly, that was the start of the problem, not its resolution. The receipt they sent me was a completely different order (literally nothing we ordered was on the receipt, the the receipt was for almost twice the cost of our meal). The staff said they'd fix it. Cool. We'll wait. However, after waiting 20 minutes or so for this to be resolved, the staff told us that they were unwilling to wait on hold any longer and that they would follow up the next day. I never got a call. Two days later, I called to follow up as the charges had only been partially reversed. When I called the number staff gave me for follow up, they told me my refund was processed. Looking at my credit card statement, it most definitely was not. They refunded a partial and seemingly random amount, leaving them still having overcharged me by more than $60. The staff person I spoke to, who assured me that they would be available on Monday, said they were too busy to talk and would call me back. They did not call me back. The staff person I have been in contact with has been consistently argumentative. I have consistently been made to feel that I am the problem and am an inconvenience for insisting on accurate, timely correction of the charges. I don't care how good the fried plantains are (and they're really good), they're not worth this much headache. I'll not be going back.
