Rave…read morereviews along with a menu that has classic dishes but also showcases unique dishes from around the world. They have repurposed an old railroad station building that brings a unique charm to your breakfast/lunch. My wife and I both appreciated the overall vibes! We had free range of selecting a table and service was friendly and quick with zero complaints. Like I said they have plenty of common dishes you'd expect like French toast, omelettes, Benedict's and more. Alongside their menu they include weekly specials and these were the dishes that really caught my eye for their uniqueness! During our stop they had Congee (think Chinese rice porridge), Hong Kong Waffle, and lastly Shanghai Omelette. I went with the omelette that had Chinese sausage, carrots, onions with a Chinese bbq sauce and some other finishing touches with a side of rice and wonton instead of toast. Was such a unique dish but tasted phenomenal, glad I got to try it! My wife then went with their Carnitas Omelette with a few substitutions to avoid any heat but was blown away by it. She had never really thought about having carnitas for breakfast but enjoyed every bite. The hollindaise sauce on top was the perfect touch! If you find yourself in this area I highly recommend checking out this spot! Fantastic vibes with friendly and quick staff with delicious and inventive dishes showcasing a variety of cuisines from all over the world. A great spot to open your mind to new food ideas!

The staff was friendly and the coffee was pretty good. I ordered coco loco french toast (french toast with toasted coconut and whipped cream) and i loved that it was the drier style rather than custard. It was very good and I didn't need syrup at all. I also ordered a side of bacon. For me it was 3 and a half stars. Hubs had pancakes with eggs and sausage. He said the pancakes had no flavor and I tasted them and had to agree. His eggs were fine and sausage ok. So for him it was three stars. We decided to go with 3 total stars on this one because if you're going to call yourself a breakfast place you need to nail the pancakes. Overall not bad and not great. Would give it another try if I was in the area.

We've been loyal customers of The Big Bean in Newmarket for a long time, but I felt it was finally…read moretime to share an honest review, because the place just isn't what it used to be. We've gone there for lunch almost every week, and lately, the experience has really declined. The staff rarely seem happy or welcoming anymore -- there's very little warmth or friendliness. Dishes are tossed into bins so loudly as if the waitstaff don't care about the guest experience! The sound is so jarring that it really takes away from enjoying the meal you work hard to pay for. Also, more than once I've overheard kitchen staff loudly telling each other grumpy things like to "shut up," which isn't exactly the vibe you want over breakfast. The only time the waitstaff really engage with a forced smile is when they drop off the check. On top of that, orders are often wrong, toast and home fries come out burnt, and the coffee on my last visit was barely lukewarm. Whatever happened to simple caring and kindness? Lately, it feels like customer experience isn't at the heart of things anymore at the Big Bean -- and when that slips, everything else eventually does too. The atmosphere has completely changed too. It used to feel fun, lively, and full of character -- now it just feels tired. The walls and beams are chipped, the floors sticky, the tables are wobbly, and the wonderful artwork of locals that gave the place charm is gone too. It's like the energy has been drained out of the building. I used to look forward to going there every week, but now it feels like we're inconveniencing the employees just by showing up. It's sad to see such a great local spot lose its spark.

The place has ample table seating, booths, and seating at the full service bar. There is also patio sidewalk seating in front of the restaurant. The place still resembles its predecessor with the same colors paint scheme. The bar offers a few draft beers, wine, mixed drinks, and cocktails. The TVs (not on) are still over the bar and there is a digital jukebox too. The limited dinner menu in July 2025 offers alfredo pasta primavera, roast chicken, baby back ribs, blackened salmon and prime rib and desserts (cheesecake & chocolate cake). While the weekend breakfast buffet is active, the late night breakfast buffet was on pause until the UNH school year resumes. The pricing is moderate. I stopped by the Blue Flame for dinner recently. The place was not busy on a Wednesday evening during the summer. I was seated at a table near the front window and requested an ice water. For dinner, I ordered the Blackened Salmon ($24.99 plus tax) served with garlic/basil mashed potatoes, green bean almondine, hot rolls, and a side salad. The side garden salad came out first with dressing on the side, served in a small bowl with a mixed leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots. The Blackened Salmon entree and hot dinner rolls came out next. The blackened salmon filet was a good size, served hot, tender & texture flaky, slightly spicy. The garlic/basil mashed potatoes were hot, soft and chunky. The fresh green beans with almond slivers and butter were a bit lukewarm though. The 2 dinner rolls were soft and chewy. After I finished and cleaned my plate, I was presented with the check which was $27.11 (cash)/$28.06 (card) with tax and before tip. Overall, a good filling dinner on a slow evening. I will have to come back for the late night breakfast buffet and hopefully their dinner menu would have more choices.

Keep in mind that this review is one week after opening…read more A traditional breakfast restaurant. Everything is pretty straightforward with a nice menu. We stopped in for a Sunday breakfast. While my wife and I are self proclaimed "foodies" and like a bit of flair where we normally dine, I'll give this a review based on what it is and what to expect based on what we enjoyed or saw at other tables. The coffee was enjoyable with a nice flavor and was definitely fresh. At this time they offer half and half and whole milk for cream options. Some of the staff are newer with some seasoned staff as well from other establishments. Everyone was pleasant but they are working out the kinks still. The interior decor is simple and straightforward. Prices we found to be reasonable. Portions were pretty much average, not too little or too much. We did see some very impressive and large pancakes being served to other tables. We ordered a side of corned beef hash, traditional eggs Benedict and a sausage Benedict. They make their own sausages and while it's very obvious they are fresh made I personally felt the sausage was under spiced. They serve their Benedict's with grilled English muffins (that's my personal favorite way to eat it). They use Yukon potatoes for their home fries. In my opinion Yukons lack flavor so they need spice of some sort with onions and peppers but they serve these rustically cut, grilled plain. Yukon potatoes are tricky, they usually are mushy or undercooked (we experienced both). Both our poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the hollandaise was very flavorful and smooth. For our overall experience we gave it a four star review based on a traditional style breakfast diner that is new.

As a new business at the time of this posting, they are starting out small offering a selection of homemade baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, French toast, pulled pork benedict, breakfast plates, pulled pork sandwiches, smashburgers, chopped salads, sides, organic coffee, tea, and bottled drinks. As you enter the restaurant through the Inn, grab a menu, grab a table, order @ the bar, pay first. I stopped by over the weekend for a late breakfast. They ran out of a few food selections and the day before they had to briefly close and reopen to restock. I quickly decided to order a Breakfast Sandwich ($5 plus tax) with Housemade Sausage ($4 plus tax), a Side French Toast ($3 plus tax) and they had self serve cucumber water. My breakfast was freshly prepared by Tyler in the kitchen and Sara brought out my food. The French Toast was thick and soft, smothered with orange custard brown butter and NH maple syrup on the side. The breakfast sandwich had a fried egg, white cheddar cheese, tomato onion jam, and a thick grilled housemade sausage patty on a soft brioche bun. Both breakfast items were great and filling. I will have to try one of their smash burgers next time!
