Not sure why we didn't try this place sooner. We come to the area about twice a year and we actually came to eat here twice in the same week. The food was great, exactly what you would expect for an Irish pub. The service was great and he informed us of Thai-rish Thursdays...So they offer a Thai style menu on Thursdays so we had to come back and try that. Again, an awesome meal, fresh and perfect! We will make this part of our visits each time. read more

I don't know how I forgot to review this spot. But one year after boarding at Sullivans and we are planning another trip. The host/owner was great, we stayed in the apartment upstairs and went down to the bar for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was awesome, with ballads playing in the background, and the food was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got tipsy at the bar and then just walked upstairs! What could be better. 10/10 read more

This pub is a year old our waitress said. The bar was packed with hikers/campers and they seemed to be having fun! Very Irish Pub in decor and they played great Celtic music to listen too over the sound system. There is a special menu for this Columbus Day weekend of many items they do not normally make. The lamb shepherd's pie is a special for the weekend. The dining room is large so do not skip stopping just because the parking lot is busy. Most patrons were in the bar. The restaurant had a constant flow of people and stayed about 2/3 full while we were there. The tables are spaced nicely apart. We arrived on a Sunday around 3:30 PM. The seafood chowder was rich, thick and very flavorful. Just as good as Legal Seafood. A cup was $5.50 but it was loaded with seafood. Unfortunately they don't have cracked black pepper to add on top. My husband got the New England boiled dinner and he is Puerto Rican and never seated it before but the menu said HOMEMADE CORNED BEEF which he loves. He ate the entire huge plate her was served-except the cabbage which I happily ate instead. I ordered the lamb shepherd's pie. It does come in the stoneware bowl it was served in. The pie was very delicious and the only thing I would change is reducing the amount of potatoes and adding a bit more lamb. Lamb is rich so it may be too greasy. The grilled bread should have been served with butter or something. The table next to us loved their Irish nachos. I saw someone near us order a huge spring salad and it looked very fresh and good. The waitress was very personable and helpful. There is no WiFi available. read more

Wanted something different so tried on Labor Day to no avail. Tried again and succeeded- Monday night. Very friendly waitstaff who greets you upon entering and maintains interest thereafter. Food is basic but good. Blarney Stone apps are round reuben deep fried; tasty. Chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli covered in sun-dried tomato sauce was above average. Blueberry cheesecake was very good. Personally, I see this establishment as a very good appre ski stop to refuel. For those who remember, it's the old William Tell restaurant. read more

Driven past this place many times, finally stopped. Glad we did! The bar has a cool old school vibe, that is a high compliment. It reminded me of a place I would go with my grand pop. We got the nachos with chili, my son got the Quiet Man burger and mine was the Smokin Joe. Both were well cooked and tasty. Cannot wait to try some more of their offerings. Callie the bartender was awesome; friendly, proper amount of check ins, and cute. She alone would make a trip back and settle in at the bar for a bit. Really enjoyed our visit and cannot wait to go back. read more

AVOID! SANITATION NIGHTMARE! Stopped by this place after reading reviews thinking it might be a nice place to grab a beer after a hike. Unfortunately, we were extremely incorrect. Upon arrival these are the few things that happened. 1. Staff not wearing masks. The staff had masks down around their chin. From the wait staff to the individuals rolling the silverware. 2. Dirty table. Our table was dirty when they took us to sit down, instead of cleaning it properly the host cleaned it with her hand and a dry napkin. 3. Dirty menus. They gave us paper menus covered with food. Those three strikes from the moment we walked in were a sign to leave. This restaurant not only does not have proper sanitation for normal times, its' sanitation during COVID is the most unacceptable I've seen. read more

Also, I have a lot of respect and admiration for the owner. He checked in on us to see how everything was going and we learned a lot about his amazing restaurant and the history. We went back again the next day for burgers and mixed drinks. No complaints. Super clean and consistent all around. read more

It's hard to find an Irish restaurant with vegetarian and vegan options because vegetarians and vegans tend to be soft, yellow-bellied wimps, and as we know, the Irish have zero time and patience for cowards. But me and my girl, we're from the Reveeeahhh School of Haaahhd Knocks, and this Irish restaurant has plenty of options for vegetarians who don't take no guff. Inside, you're greeted to plentiful Irish decor and Irish pub music that makes a lassie want to hop out of her seat and dance a jig. The food is impeccable, with authentic Irish items to pick from the menu. This establishment is truly a hidden gem, just off Route 93, tucked away in the southeastern quarter of the White Mountains. You'll be glad you went; it's the best Irish restaurant I've ever been to, begorra! read more

Fantastic food, people and great atmosphere. Wonderful staff and gracious funny owner. We started with the BBQ chicken wings which were tender and wonderful. Can't complain about the Guinness either! My wife loved her sandwich, one son had the bacon cheeseburger which he loved. The other had the kids Mac N Cheese. I had an amazing lobster roll...fries really fresh tasting as well, followed by 2 massive brownie sundaes for desert. The owner, who had a prior career in boxing even brought out a belt when he heard my younger son wanted to box. Photo attached. Don't pass this place up when in the Waterville Valley area! read more

This place fell short where it matters most. We were staying in New Hampshire to see the ice castles for a few days. We decided on JL Sullivan's for dinner on presidents weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building is located in the national forest which is kinda cool and the building is old which in my experience can mean it has some serious history of making great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had to wait because we were part of 3 parties waiting. The hostess staff was very communicative how long the wait was going to be. The wait in the entrance was not too bad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were sat right by a propane fire place on a picnic table which we chose willingly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We just wanted food. We ordered an appetizer of a pretzel. Then the wheels fell off the train. We waited and waited. Food came out for another table and they put it on our picnic table to server to the other table. I was basically hovering over another tables food. It looks good as I was within ear shot of the food. My wife was too embarrassed to look at the tray. Time started crawling and my kids were slowly powering down due to the long wait. My kids drew all over the place mats they were given as we were waiting with our own pens. The waitress gave us some markers to draw. She tried to pacify us. The markers were chalk / whiteboard markers. The kind where you shake them with a ball inside and press down on the tip and a bunch of ink comes out. This proved to me a bit problematic for my 5 and 8 year olds. They got it all over the place, the paper their faces, the table. But it was a valiant effort of the waitress. So we're waiting for our food for what seems like forever. The wait staff seems to be missing in action at this point. I checked the time and we've been there for about 1 hour 10 min. We get the food. My daughter wasn't liking her mac and cheese too much as a bunch were clumped together. My first bite was fries; cold. My burger bottom bun is soaked the grease. I bit in and it's a little too rare for my liking. The bacon was barely cooked. At which point my wife and I were faced with our first decision at a restaurant we've ever made. I've been with my wife for 12 years and we've never sent food back until this night. Send the food back. We sent it back. It came back out a about 10 min later. Charred on the bottom burger. The fries were warm. But I was not playing this game, the ship had sailed and I was done. We told the waitress it was not her fault and we understood the circumstances. We got the bill and the burger was still on the bill. we had ask for it to be removed. We got out of there with some memories for sure. Needless to say we won't be back. All in all we were there for 1 hour and 40 ish minutes. We left and I went to one of my favorite chain establishments to quench my hunger. read more

The inside of this place is kinda cool. We sat near this big fireplace and there are so many knick-knacks on the walls, which gives that place a unique vibe. Overall, the food here was pretty good. I got a Reuben which came with a lot of fries--so that was a nice surprise. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it was what I was expecting. The service was good as well. My biggest knock would be the table we were sitting at and the menus. The table didn't seem to be screwed together correctly; my friend would lean on the table and the whole top would almost fall off! Also, the paper, wrinkly printout menus were a little underwhelming. read more

Cute spot almost in the "middle of nowhere". First impression was skeptical when our pretzel appetizer was $9 and was definitely a frozen pretzel with a 2 oz ramekin of cheese fondue (wish we had gotten more for the price) and the seafood chowder was slightly cold (but still tasty). Our impressions quickly turned around when the sandwiches were brought out. Very tasty Ruben and perfectly hot. Fries also crispy and delicious. Guinness marinated chicken sandwich was to die for! Loved how it was sweet and savory at the same time. Quick service and food also was also timely. Overall I would definitely return! read more

They were nice enough to make a small pizza for my wife, but they caked on a large portion of parmesan cheese after cooking, which my wife can't stand. Since I like parmesan, we brought it home, but, I thought there was too much also. By default, parmesan should be excluded from pizza when it is served, and then offered at the table after. I had eggplant parm sandwich, which was delicious, but overtoasted making the bread very hard. We still love this place. Beer selection is good.

Live music most nights which was nice, the guy didn't take a break the entire time we were there! Well poured Guinness. I got the pizza which was New England cracker pub style pizza, I believe - it was pretty damn good pizza and ranch for your crust. Tried the beef stew soup as well which was really good, better than any clam chowders we'd had on the trip!!! Nice place.

The atmosphere in this pub was so very welcoming and fun. It was a busy dinner service but besides the full tables you never know it because the servers were spot on with providing drinks and attention! We sat near the little stage and enjoyed some good ole Irish singing with our delicious meals. We sat next to a younger couple out on their date night who were originally from Massachusetts and said this was their go to place and I can totally see why. My burger was perfectly cooked and the fries were yummy. I saw some good looking pizzas go by too. Maybe next time I'm in town I'll try them. Definitely will be getting back

The staff seemed frantic but they were working very promptly to make sure customers could be seated. I was told that our party of 2 would be about 15-20 mins. They took my phone # to add to the waitlist. The wait was more like 6 or 7 mins. We were seated in the bar area at the booths. The bar is somewhat loud but it was still average. It's nice that they can accommodate parties of 2 so easily. There were several large groups, primarily families so it's certainly kid-friendly. They serve up some of the BEST fries! I suggest the O'Crabby Patty. It is on the heavy side with caramelized onions but wow is it packed with flavor. I will be getting that again for sure!

Show him some love! Our server was pretty great. Friendly, answered all our questions, and gave good recommendations. Overall, a pleasant local Irish place with many different food options.

I worked with Tiffany, who helped us put together a fantastic menu--and the BBQ was truly some of the best we've ever had. There were 10 of us renting a house in the mountains, and everything was delivered hot, ready to eat, and perfectly timed. Despite an icy driveway and a parked car blocking access, the delivery person walked up and down the driveway three times carrying boxes of food, all with a smile and great attitude. That kind of service really stood out. The amount of food was enormous, the price was very affordable, and every single person loved the meal. Delicious food, wonderful service, and an all-around positive experience. I would absolutely recommend Sunset Grill for any event.

If you like a relaxed atmosphere and good eats, I don't think you can go wrong here.

The birthday boy was thrilled with his BBQ dinner catered by Sunset Grill!

From the moment you walk in, the experience is different. If there's a wait, you can help yourself to a complimentary cheese and dip tray while you wait for your table. Even if you're seated right away, you can still grab a plate for your table. It's such a nice touch that you don't see very often anymore. Their beer and cocktail selection is fantastic and changes with the seasons, so there's always something new to try. Then the famous homemade dinner rolls arrive and they're so good they put Texas Roadhouse rolls to shame! For an appetizer, we ordered the Mexican street corn dip. It had just the right amount of spice and was absolutely delicious. My wife had the blackened fish tacos, I ordered the Asian tuna bowl, and my daughter got the same bowl with salmon. Every dish was cooked perfectly, fresh, and full of flavor. Just when you think the meal is over, they come around after you pay with a heaping scoop of homemade white chocolate. It's another thoughtful touch that makes the experience memorable. The prices were more than fair, the portions were just right, and the service was excellent. Restaurants like this where you truly feel welcomed and can enjoy a genuine family dining experience are becoming harder and harder to find. 5/5 stars. The Common Man is an absolute must-try if you're visiting Lincoln or the White Mountains. We'll definitely be back!
