We were in Meredith for Laconia Bike Week for 13 days. During that time, we ate at Hart's Turkey Farm 4 times, hands-down our favorite place here. It was the first dinner stop we made, and the last before we left. During that time, I ordered the Turkey Leg Dinner, the Turkey Parmesan, Sautéed Turkey Livers, and the Small Turkey Dinner with dark meat. My dining partner ordered the Medium Turkey Dinner with dark meat, Turkey Meatloaf, and a couple other things I don't remember. All of our dinners were excellent. Stuffing was delicious, cranberry sauce, and old-school baked potatoes. Yum! He absolutely loved the meatloaf, I guess his favorite. I loved everything, but the turkey livers were probably my favorite, only because it's something you never find on a menu anywhere. It's a lot of food. The portions are generous, and by the time you have the carrot relish they serve first and the maple cornbread (both complimentary), which is absolutely delicious, I know I was full every time. He had dessert twice, a cobbler and the chocolate mousse, and loved both. The theme of this restaurant is turkey. Turkey everything! I love love love the fact you can get a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings, without having to cook it! read more

Absoloutley awful....i went last week for lunch hoping my previous review was a one off. Sadly I was wrong, started with turkey soup....it was microwaved and had an off tasting "fattiness" to it. I wonder what the dinner rolls and cornbread were served in a white paper bag.....microwaved..... I ordered a turkey dinner; gravy, Mashed, pickled beats, stuffing and cranberry sauce. The pickled beets were Absoloutley disgusting, you can can see in the photo they were discolored. Everything was microwaved, oddly hot, and tasted Like crap. I'd rather go to Subway for a turkey sub and will never go to hearts turkey farm again. They've lost me: their carrot relish didn't suck but everything else did. read more

Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant - American Near Me - Meredith, New Hampshire

We all thought the prices were outrageous for a turkey dinner and don't understand why this place is popular. Turkey is pretty hard to screw up so l will say it was pretty good ( not the best or worst we've had). The problem was that the service was exceptionally slow and after waiting 30+minutes for our food they told us they were out of turkey and 2 people needed to order something else from the menu. Our food finally arrived...except for the 2 dinners we ordered because they ran out of turkey. Those dinners came out 15 minutes after ours.No apologies, nothing. Not a good experience for us at all. read more

Absolutely kindred! What a homely destination. Love a family owned place serving up comfort food. Friendly staff and abundant menu options with tons of turkey inspired dishes as well as other things. Food was overall decent and I enjoyed it but was not blown away by anything in particular. I will say it was nice to begging with a Parker house roll, cornbread, and homemade carrot relish and crackers--interesting! Similar to an Amish pepper slaw. Turkey was good. Really dug the butternut squash side recommended by the waitress. So buttery and sweet, but not in a yucky way I promise! They have trivia night and music in the bar area for certain nights and a gift shop with to-go food items as well. read more

Great food and a friendly, welcoming bar atmosphere. There were plenty of options on the menu aside from turkey, although we both ended up with turkey and it was delicious! Tina,, our bartender/server, was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

Had a craving for turkey before turkey season thought this place was great. Service was awesome and the ambience was just as you expected. Kind of Cracker Barrel but still kind of fun. read more

Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant - Menu - American Near Me - Meredith, New Hampshire

Today we visited Harts Turkey Farm Restaurant in Meredith, NH, and was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu. They offered a wide variety of appetizers, seafood, steak, and pasta dishes, but of course, as a turkey restaurant that has been open for 71 years, their specialty is turkey. The menu featured many unique dish options, so I decided to go with the classic turkey dinner, served with a side of butternut squash and coleslaw. My daughter ordered the turkey leg with squash and rice pilaf. The cornbread, homemade carrot pickled dip, and saltine crackers were very tasty. Our waitress seemed a bit confused and asked for my daughter's ID when we ordered a mocktail, even though we explained that mocktails don't contain any liquor. We ordered a blueberry and fruit punch mocktail, which was great! Our waitress mentioned she was new and had to look at the menu to write down our order, which made me glad I asked her to repeat it. I specifically requested all white meat turkey and if you don't ask for it, they'll serve a mixed portion. There's a $2 upcharge for white meat only, which seemed a bit odd given the abundance of turkey options. While the prices are on the steeper side, the portions were just right, which means no leftovers and we left full. We didn't order dessert, but they have at least six different types of pies, along with cheesecake and ice cream. There's also a quaint gift shop filled with jewelry, sweatshirts, homemade jams, jellies, honey, maple syrup, toys for kids, and more. Overall, it was a great experience, and I might stop by again for dinner next time. read more

I stopped going for a few years as quality had seem to go down hill. Decided to give it a try this year and went twice this weekend was very happy. Mashed still seams to be different than it was years ago but meals were enjoyable. Both servers were very present and attentive. Main dinning area is a bit dated but that is par of their charm trying to stay as close as they can to what they have always been. read more

My wife and I stopped in after going to Wier's beach. We had a wonderful experience. The service was polite and funny. The seating area had a large collection of platters and plates decorating the walls giving no a very nice home feel. The food was superb! I ordered the char grilled prime rib and it was fabulous and enough to feed me twice. My wife got the turkey dinner and it will feed her again as well. For desert we had the apple pie and we both agreed it was perhaps the best we have ever had. We will definitely come again! read more

This was my 1st time coming here. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Our waiter Seth was very personable and immediately offered drinks and brought snacks We got Shepherds turkey pie and Turkey pot pie. The onion rings were 100% on point. I've never had Carrot relish it was a nice change for an appetizer. We sat by the window and people watched as the motorcycles drove by for Bike Week. We wanted to take our leftovers to go. Seth asked if we were on a motorcycle and offered us smaller containers so we could take it with us more easily. We will definitely come back again Plenty of parking and a large bar area and dining room Don't assume you can't get service it's just the tourist traffic !! I'm so glad we stopped !! read more

I stopped for dinner on my way home from work as my husband was out for the evening. I sat at the bar, and ordered the marinated turkey tips with mushrooms, with green beans and cole slaw. The dinner came with a roll and a piece of cornbread. It was absolutely delicious. The turkey was cooked perfectly, and everything was really tasty. Loved the vinegar style coleslaw. I will stop by more often. read more

Turkey for me, turkey for you, one of my wife's favorite things is TURKEY! So I have lived in NH for 40+ years, driven past here can't even count how many times always wondering how it was with never actually stopping. Wow I have been missing out!!! If you live anywhere around here and like turkey and also have not gone you are missing out as well! It is so homey and the service was amazing as well. We will be coming back again 1000000%! read more

Hart's Turkey Farm has been a family tradition for generations. We visited as kids, brought our kids, and now we're bringing the next generation with us. We even remember the live turkeys from way back when! The atmosphere still has that nostalgic charm. A large print of Norman Rockwell's "Freedom from Want" greets you before the dining room, and the walls inside are lined with turkey platters--classic and cozy. We've appreciated menu updates over the years, like more fish and vegetarian options, though it now feels a bit too extensive, which may affect consistency. Service began with Hart's traditional carrot relish and saltines, plus their famous maple cornbread, soft rolls, and butter--just as we remembered. As for the meals: The broiled haddock (served on spring mix) was a bit dry, and the greens didn't quite work, but the whipped potatoes and butternut squash were tasty. The turkey croquettes were unexpectedly bland. The NY sirloin smothered in mushrooms and onions looked great and was well-received. The turkey Parmesan was an interesting twist. Fish and chips on the kids' menu was a surprise but unfortunately underwhelming. The star was the Turkey Gobbler sandwich--stuffed with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, lettuce, and mayo. It was flavorful and satisfying, and almost everyone wanted a bite! Bottom line: when you're at a turkey farm restaurant, order the turkey--unless you're a pescatarian or vegetarian, of course read more

Holy cow, talk about an abysmal experience. We were taken right away, they weren't too busy for dinner table if 4 two adults two kids. It took 15 minutes to be greeted by a waiter which is never a good sign. We ordered drinks and water which took 30 minutes to arrive. We weren't getting the warm and fuzzies considering we were already 45 minutes in and hadn't had a beverage. We then ordered the Turkey buffalo dip and two bowls of French onion soup. This took an additional 30 minutes. In fairness I will say both were very good. We then ordered dinner. It took about 45 minutes to arrive. In the meantime we had ordered another round of drinks that never came. When we asked several times in between the waiter going MIA he just kept smiling and chuckling as though it's funny. Finally our food arrived, no drinks. Turkey tips were hard and chewy only half edible. My wife got the turkey dinner she liked it, gravy on the mashed potatoes definitely not made from scratch it looked and tasted like a packet of McCormack. The kids meals were okay. I had to take our youngest to the car because 3 hours in the restaurant was way too much. I never got that second drink. And it had to be 80 degrees in there, no air conditioning or ventilation. Needless to say, this place is a tourist trap that is covered by a long tradition and local status that keeps the doors opened. I would not recommend unless you have three + hours and are looking for mediocre food. Sorry to the locals that worship this place, but I've had much better! read more

Depending on your perspective, walking into Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant, you will either be discouraged by the dated interior, or like me, absolutely delighted at walking into the past and perhaps reliving some amazing memories of what we consider simpler times. Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant is an amazing place. While the menu might be full of standard American fare, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and I have to say that the food is pretty much spot on. The service here is friendly and outgoing and the place is well-kept. Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant is about as much the experience as it is about the food. In a lot of ways, it is like stepping into a scene set in a country restaurant in an old movie. I mean this as a supreme compliment. If you find yourself in the general area, this is a must visit place. read more

We went to Harts over the weekend. The food was good. The service was also very good. Since it was winter, it was a much smaller menu than what you get in the summer. We ended up getting seated near the bar. It's definitely a different experience than being there during the summer. But it was still good. read more

It was my first time at Hart's Turkey Farm, despite living in New Hampshire for 20+ years. This is the restaurant where every day is Thanksgiving! I knew I would be passing through Meredith so I was pleased to see they have online ordering for takeout, including Apple Pay which makes it so easy from your phone. My order was ready in about 20 minutes, and I picked it up at the gift shop desk right inside the front door. My experience inside the restaurant was brief, because I only went in to use the restroom and to grab my order. My impression of the interior is that it's old school and very much a place one's elderly parents would like, homey and cozy and probably unchanged in many years. But I will tell you: this place is immaculately clean. The restroom was shining and spotless. The front door was gleaming and had no fingerprints. (I ALWAYS take notice of the front door of any place I go to, whether the handle is sticky or there's grubby fingerprints all over it) Even the massive parking lot was freshly paved and looked bright and beautiful. A lot of care goes into to this place. The food? It was fine: a nice box of cozy beige food, although a bit bland. The stuffing was kinda mushy and wet, and I needed to add a good sprinkling of salt over the whole thing. But the cleanliness of the restaurant is a marvel. read more

Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant - Small Turkey Plate - American Near Me - Meredith, New Hampshire

We saw the sign on the interstate while traveling through and made a detour to check this place out. We were glad we did, the food was really good. A lot of turkey meal options for the turkey lover. It was great to have all of the comfort of a full Thanksgiving meal gravy boat and cranberry sauce included without the mess and clean up. The traditional corned beef reuben sandwich was good as well with slow roasted corned beef, the accompanying fries were hot and flavorable. They offered a variety of dessert options for a sweet tooth fix that all looked good. Service was fast with a carrot relish privided at greeting and friendly making it an enjoyable experience. read more

Perhaps the most famous of all of the good restaurants in Meredith, Hart's has been here for close to 70 years. We seated in the bar area which is huge with lots of seating choices. Yes the place feels a bit dated, but is cozy. The turkey Caesar Salad wrap was fresh and tasty. The Turkey Salad sandwich was over-sized. Yes they know how to make delicious turkey.. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Went for the first time in 22 years- one of those destination restaurants- Turkey 1000 ways. I liked the hummus appetizer plus the cornbread and cheese/pretzels they offer. I ordered a Reuben sandwich which was outstanding. The seasoned fries and coleslaw accompanying the sandwich were both tasty as well. Worth a return trip. read more

Had high hopes that this was going to be delicious! Too bad the food was very bland and the flaky crust was so tough. Not to mention the rice pilaf was crunchy. Very expensive for the lack of quality. Sad to say I left very disappointed and very hungry. Will not return. read more

I used to come here as a kid with my family but couldn't remember much about the restaurant but was able to recognize the turkey platters on the wall. It's been over 30 years-maybe 40? That's how long this place has been in business! They recently had an accident where a car drove into the restaurant so they are under construction but don't let that stop you! Despite the construction and minimal noise the dining room was spotless as was the bar area. We were a group of 5, some getting meals or a sandwich with me only having an appetizer. Everything came together and was piping hot and delicious! Don't skip the carrot relish, corn bread and rolls. Our server was friendly, quick and attentive! Want a great turkey meal (well turkey anything)? This is your place! read more

First, the system and employees for Thanksgiving curbside pickups were outstanding. But that's the only good thing I can say. We were very disappointed in the individual dinners. The potatoes were incredibly dry, and the turkey was overcooked, like rubber. Very skimpy with the cranberry sauce and gravy, which didn't help with the dry potatoes and rubber turkey. I wouldn't do it again. For the price, I certainly expected better. read more

A group of us had dinner at Hart's Turkey Farm. I am not a big fan of turkey, so I got the baked stuffed sea scallops. They were really great! I upgraded one of my sides to the loaded baked potato. It was more of a twice-baked potato than a loaded baked potato and was not great. The fresh butternut squash was outstanding. Our server was great. read more

Ambiance was very nice, great location! service was good, very attentive waitress! food was less than desired and was very very bland! I purchased 2 frozen pot pies and when we cooked them up, they tasted chemically! We could not eat them! We thought it was the dough, but determined it was the turkey! Not good at all! After that experience, I would not recommend. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and the only time it's disappointed me was when I was here in the dead of winter. Most of the time I come here is summertime and it's always spot on in the summer. I love the wood decor and turkey plates on the walls. The service is always fast and efficient and friendly, no matter the season. My go to is always the same- the small turkey plate, all white meat, with whipped potato and butternut squash. I request no gravy on my potato because there is enough on the plate without it on the potato too. Pre-meal you get carrot relish and saltines, and they sell jars of it in their attached gift shop. I almost always grab a jar on my way out. They also give you homemade dinner rolls and cornbread- yum! These can also be purchased in their gift shop if you want more to take home. The small turkey plate along with the carrot relish and crackers and the roll and cornbread is enough to make me borderline uncomfortably full, but it's so worth it because side it's so good and a rare treat just a few times in the summer. read more

Best turkey dinner EVER!!! Cute atmosphere, friendly staff, and delish food! All set in downtown Meredith - take a roadtrip and make this your must stop! read more

First of all, the service was very good and all staff we encountered were very nice. The carrot relish they bring to the table with some saltines was excellent. The French fries were tasty but, unfortunately, that's where the good review ends. We were excited about having turkey and since we were at a turkey restaurant, we were expecting greatness. Sadly, the turkey was tasteless and rubbery. The gravy was also lacking. The powder packet gravy is actually better. The presentation was good and the amounts were generous, but the food was just lacking. We travel full time and usually find some of the best food each area has to offer. This one just didn't make the cut. read more

Great food! Great service! You're almost full before your dinner arrives. Our favorite restaurant in the area.

The food was pretty tasty. Portions are small. Prices are high. They have another area where they sell frozen foods: soups, cheese etc. They wanted $13 for an 8 ounce block of cheese. That's crazy. read more

We are die-hard fans of Hart's Turkey Farm's trivia night on Thursdays. Last night we were seated in a room behind the host, and found it extremely difficult to hear the questions because the speaker he was using was placed in another room. We were not alone here, as everyone in our room, who was playing, had the same problem. Anyway a better audio system can be used on trivia night? Otherwise, we love this place! read more

This NH icon gets a bad rap. Of course, they have the best turkey dinner anywhere, but it doesn't stop there. The sandwiches & burgers are top notch. Highly recommend the "turkey sampler" thingy too. The bar is friendly & inviting. The lounge fills up for trivia night on Thursdays (we have been going for this for over 10 years; best quiz in the lakes region for sure). read more
