In the NH welcome center portion of the rest stop the woman at the desk was the least welcoming person you could have there as an ambassador for your state. She could barely communicate and practically ripped a map out of my hand after I had picked it out of the display on the counter. Her explanation on why that was not the map I wanted was incomprehensible. Weird. The other oddity that I had not experienced before were the dozen or so unhoused individuals who were living in their vehicles in this rest stop parking lot. Many appear to have been here for a very long time. I understand that for them it may be a safe place with facilities but I am not sure it provides a safe or inviting environment for the general traveling public especially at night.

Two water fountains are in this area but no bottle filling station. The outside and inside are designed to resemble a small town. A covered bridge looms overhead by a back entrance. Inside are a few small metal tables and chairs plus a couple 'stand up' to eat tables. Outside is a raised area in front with several metal picnic tables plus two more by outdoor vending machines. Three small parking areas seem to provide just enough space during our lunch time stop. A dog walking area was alongside the highway across from the gas pumps. There are eight pull thru pumps but not really a good stop is you have a long trailer. Cars are parked on the other side of the pumps and a sharp left (u-turn) followed by a right are needed to exit this area from what I can see. I did not see an electric car charge station although there is a air vac machine near the pumps. The inside is absolute chaos. We entered midway in to the building into a maze of free standing displays of things to buy next to tables and chairs. At this entrance, on the left, is a cotton candy making machine where a group was standing watching the fun. A tween was standing between some of the displays blocking traffic. The market is directly to the right. Everyone in the area was trying to find a way around all these obsticles. Loud 70's rock is playing both inside and out which added to the feeling of chaos. You can literally see the stress level go up as people try to navigate the interior. It's probably fine during a less busy time of day. The convenience store 'market' inside includes 'grab & go' foods like premade sandwiches and pizza slices plus sodas, snack foods and souveniers. The aisles are too narrow to pass creating back-ups. The self-serve pizza slice area has no counter to place your box while you get yourself a slice so customers were putting items on top of inventory to free up their hand. Nothing is clearly signed. Half the people were 'just looking' while the other half were trying to find a way around the slow pokes. The only restaurant food here is fast food provided by The Common man. Order and pay at a digital kiosk or stand in line on the right for the cashier. Pick up on the left. They have a seperate bakery/coffee shop and you order for both areas at the kiosks. Food and price are just OK. We received a 'steak bomb' which includes onions & peppers when we ordered a plain steak & cheese which is a different menu item. The brie on my turkey and brie sandwich is cheese sauce, same as used on the steak and cheese. The cold cuts are not quality imho but the honey mustard and bread were good and the lettuce was fresh and plentiful. Everything is packed to eat on site. There are plenty of trash and recycle containers inside and out. Bus your own table/picnic table. Vending machines are available outside in a covered area at the side entrance near the pumps. Handicapped parking is there as well. This entrance is closest to the restrooms. A seperate building near this entrance makes apple cider donuts and smells delicious. The state liquor store is at the opposite end of the building and has it's own entrance.

Come to find out, 3 workers were sitting maybe 6-8 feet away from us, talking amongst themselves. They were having a "meeting" and couldn't be bothered, I guess? When they saw how long the line was getting, they finally got up to take some orders, and rolled their eyes like we were inconveniencing them. This happened on Monday, 10/31/22. Oh, and the restrooms were trashed. Unacceptable, all around!
