Oh yes. This place rocks. I haven't had a New England lobstaah roll this year. Until today. Busy summer. We took the family to the Flume to enjoy the hike and on the way back, we were famished. So looked for places and this had banner reviews and we went for it. We weren't disappointed. Great food, superb ambiance, friendly service and excellent views. You go and order your food, wait a bit, pick it up and go sit down at one of four places in the property. Their lobster rolls are yummy. We also had burgers galore in our party. The seating areas are everywhere. One outside parallel to the parking lot. One cozy area next to the souvenir shop. One large one inside. And a terrace. Choices for everyone. read more

Stopped by on my way home Memorial Day Weekend and I was blown away with how beautiful this location is. The lobster roll I got was perfect and so loaded up that a claw fell out of the bun as soon as I picked it up. This place was so generous and kind they gave me a little more lobster since part of mine fell off the plate. Maybe I shouldn't be posting the review so I can enjoy the peaceful surroundings to myself more :) read more

Such a cute place! The food and service are outstanding with the counter servers going out of their way to be helpful. We had the hot lobster rolls, onion rings and coleslaw and all were excellent. Have had the cold lobster rolls on a previouse visit and those a great too. Parking can be tricky but well worth it! read more

This is a unique seafood spot with a nice view of the trees. The staff was nice and there's seating inside, upstairs, and picnic tables by the parking lot. The A+ lobster roll (lightly dressed with mayo) was pretty good and decently priced. However, the fries that came with it were pretty overdone and I ended up only eating a couple, unfortunately. read more

Stopped by here on our way to the air bnb , kinda stumbled across last minute. The location was incredible , it was like 2 levels on the cliff side of the creek in the trees. It was a vibe and it's literally in an old school house! So cool! Apparently it is seasonal so I'm glad we caught it! The hot lobster roll was delicious sooooo much lobster! The fries were good but soggy by the time I got them read more

Little Red Schoolhouse - Hot lobster roll - Seafood Near Me - West Campton, New Hampshire

Returned after a couple of years absence; hankering for fried seafood called. The Little Red Schoolhouse looks unassuming on the outside but is cool once you enter. Go to the counter, order, pay and find a table either downstairs, upstairs or outside if you have a pet. My belly clam plate was lightly breaded, tasty although the fries were a bit soggy. I loved the tartar sauce and they gave us plenty. Dining in the woods. Staff is pleasant. read more

Dining here feels like eating in a giant treehouse. On a busy night, parking and finding a place to sit can be a bit tricky, but once you're settled in, the food and views make it worth it. The lobster roll was excellent--stuffed with meat and full of flavor. The crabcake sandwich, on the other hand, was just okay--the bun and toppings overpowered the crabcake itself. Same with the shoe string onion rings. They were mostly fried batter. I'd go with the fries next time. One big plus: the lobster rolls are set at a flat price of $28.50, making them one of the more affordable options around. The Southwest lobster roll with chipotle-lime crema was a standout--especially if, like me, you prefer aioli-style rolls over traditional mayo. Most people will head straight for the upstairs deck, but my pro tip: the best table is actually on the main floor, far left corner--great view, less crowded. Overall, a fun and unique spot worth the stop. read more

Little Red Schoolhouse - Cold lobster roll and hot buttered with onion rings - Seafood Near Me - West Campton, New Hampshire

On a road trip in New Hampshire we stumbled upon this cute restaurant. The deck and inside are so cute, it's like you are eating in a treehouse. The view is also really pretty. I got the surf and turf grilled cheese which was steak and lobster. It was amazing. The portions are huge, I got onion rings instead of fries and they were really great too. You order at the front and you get a buzzer then take a seat and go up and get your food. Cute spot with some great food options! read more

Such a cute little seafood shack. The clam roll was fantastic... crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

I came to this spot on my way back from the White Mountains, heading to Boston. We sat in this back area that was enclosed, but didn't exactly stay very warm. It looks like it's temporarily closed now, so maybe it's more of a seasonal spot. I enjoyed the chill vibes and kind of woodsy decor. Great place to grab a quick meal. I got the Freshman Fish Sandwich with French fries and my friend got the Gen Ed Burger with onion rings. Both were absolutely delicious! Since the restaurant was about to close, they sent us home with some leftovers - huge bonus points (I think that pushed them up an extra star)! I'm not sure if I'd ever really be in the area again, but I'd certainly be happy to go back if the opportunity came up. read more

Our son plays hockey in Hooksett and we found this gem. About an hour drive north, but well worth it. The lobster rolls are great, same with the chowder. The belly clams were overdone and also just not a good value for what they cost ($31) vs what was on a huge mountain of fresh cut fries. Have ice cream and baked goods as well I believe. read more

Delicious food!! Beautiful location. Lobster roll was on par with some of the best I've had!

If you go, make sure you go on the second floor deck! Food is great and the selections are fine, the one complaint my group had were the fries we're NOT hot! Go for the food but stay for the view and the unique experience....4 stars straight.... read more

Awesome little place with big taste food. Very casual but quality food especially seafood. Who would have thought!!

Found this place after hiking Flume Gorge trail. The lobster roll and clam chowder are fantastic! And the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend read more

Great fried seafood in a lovely screened porch with rough hewn timber tables overlooking a forested ravine and stream (the Pemigewasset River) and the mountains beyond (and there is a second screened porch above with more tables). We had clams & onion rings, scallops & onion rings, and fish & chips (cod). Each came with coleslaw, and the onion rings were a substitution for fries at small up-charge. All were good. The French fries appeared to be fresh cut, but were a little on the greasy side (not bad, just not perfect). The onion rings were wonderful - thin and not too-heavily battered. The cod was good and cooked well without too much batter. The clams were really good - you can tell they use a good supplier. The scallops were divine - tender and flavorful, fried to perfection - the best fried scallops I've ever had (and that's saying something). The sodas were standard bottled sodas - nothing special - we didn't try their beer and wine, homemade lemonade, or other drinks, nor their ice-cream, so no comment on those offerings. The service was prompt, the staff friendly, though it was a rainy day and not too busy, so I'm sure things slow down on sunny days in prime time. The atmosphere was lovely and serene -- looking down on the Pemigewasset River from a sheltered and screened in porch, surrounded by trees - despite the other guests and activity, it was just relaxing. I live in Seattle, and we have lots of really good seafood - if you want fried seafood, Little Red Schoolhouse is worth a visit - and so unexpected in a New Hampshire forest, out a ways from anything else. Strongly recommended! read more

Food is great. It's a pricey place however and value is okay. Go there periodically but not often due to cost.

Absolutely delicious cold lobster roll! I usually get a warm roll because I'm afraid the cold one will be overdressed and filled with other stuff. The cold roll here was lightly dressed but had a delicious flavor and was all lobster meat. The price was equally as great! $28.50 and that came with fries! read more

Ordered fisherman's plater with fries and added whole belly clams and fried calamari . The portions were very small for the price and you could barely see or taste the clams or the calamari it was mainly the batter. We were very disappointed considering the place had 4.7 rating. read more

Best Fried Clams in New England, Great views and great staff. Worth the drive up north.

As soon as I entered the restaurant I was greeted and was taught this is counter service place (which is fine by me I just want food ) all the workers were really nice and seemed close which really added to the nice vibe. I got the Spanish burger, it wasn't super spicy so don't worry if you have a medium spice tolerance. It came with fries that were really yummy. The place itself felt like a treehouse and was really cool. (Like exposed wood bark and fairy lights) In the corner they had a little gift shop so I bought a little keychain plush bear (5$) read more

Unfortunately, our visit was not a good one. We noticed a mouse running along the window sill, and when we mentioned it to our waitress, she didn't acknowledge it or offer any solution. My salad never came, the soda was flat, and the margaritas were so unpleasant we couldn't finish them. Even with a party of seven, she wouldn't split the check into two bills. I wanted to like this place, but the service, cleanliness, and drink quality made it hard to enjoy our meal. read more

I absolutely loved this place and I could see why it is getting all of the hype recently. The highlight is the treehouse vibes, and the views of the mountains are stunning. Although, they are known for their seafood, specifically their lobster rolls. I tried both the cold and hot roll and they were both great. The buns were buttery and soft, and the lobster was fresh. I was not a huge fan of the fries, they were too crunchy for my liking and a bit over cooked. But the onion rings were one of my favorite, they were thin and perfectly crispy. The service was good - those working were kind and attentive. Definently suggest going early because they get BUSY - the wait for food was about an hour and they were sold out of about half of their menu after two hours of being open on a Sunday. Again be patient, because their seating is first come, first serve. Their 2023 season ends October 10th and they reopen in Mid June. read more

Apparently a rainy weekday in the mountains means minimal wait at the window! We made this part of our destination today and it was great! Staff was all fantastic. We got a table at the top clean and ready to go. I got the Mexican burger which was the perfect size with lots of delicious candied jalapeños and yummy bacon. He got the lobster Mac and cheese which was very tasty with lots of lobster chunks on top. Nice casual atmosphere, great food and great staff! read more

What a great experience today visiting a little red schoolhouse for the first time. Located approximately one and a half hours from our home in Vermont in the little town of Campton, New Hampshire. More than worthy of the drive and I will be back. it is located in an old red schoolhouse and has a spectacular view overlooking a river and gorge that I would guess is at least 100 feet deep with spectacular view of the white mountains. For entrées, two of the party had excellent lobster rolls which were stuffed with succulent meat. Enjoyed with onion rings and homemade fries. The dressing on the lobster was excellent and they do offer several versions of lobster rolls. I went with the fish and chip option and have to say it was probably the best I've ever had. The fish was lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. I often order fish and chips and come away disappointed because it's too greasy or heavy, but this was made perfectly. I will also give a shout out to the team of employees working the kitchen and counter as they all had smiles and seem to be enjoying their work. Can't wait to return read more

After seeing all the reviews and videos over social media I decided to give this place a try for my birthday. We ordered the hot buttered lobster roll, scallop plate, and chicken finger plate. The lobster roll was okay. I wish I had known it was going to be cold lobster placed in a garlic bread like hot dog roll, but it was still edible. The scallop plate was horrendous. First off before you sell fried seafood to the public I would ensure the batter doesn't completely slip off the seafood when you go to grab it and ESPECIALLY make sure you know when the seafood is COOKED!! Our scallops were translucent and gray. We brought them back and hoped the next batch would fix the visit and unfortunately they were the same wet and raw batch. Pretty bad too considering the woman who brought them back to us said they've been having problems in the kitchen so glad we said something.. Seems like you guys need to resolve this issue before serving to the public. Onion rings were okay but the fries were a cold soggy mess. Chicken fingers were the best thing we ate here. I wouldn't return again. read more

The place is very quaint and inviting. The view is very relaxing and enjoyable. The food was ok. Service was mid at best. People who ordered last were getting their food first and the people who ordered first were just waiting. The scallops were over cooked and the fries were soggy. read more

A friend heard of this place and asked if we had tried it... we hadn't, and was going to be up the white Mtn area. We stopped in at the place just before 12pm, small parking lot, rustic or woodsy look & feel and over the counter service. It's dining room is built in the tree, similar to a treehouse, rooftop picnic tables. Nice views. The food was good, we got the clam chowder & shared a fisherman's platter. Good size scallops and shrimp, fried perfectly. Haddock was good size and fresh.We noticed many got the lobster rolls and burgers or a seafood dish. Don't bother getting extra tarter sauces, they charge extra for it. read more

What a lovely place! The staff was so warm and welcoming. I was wondering how the seafood would be compared to being right on the ocean, but I was blown away! Get the shrimp. Get the onion rings. Soooooo good! read more

Little Red Schoolhouse - Shrimp plate with onion rings - Seafood Near Me - West Campton, New Hampshire

Over Columbus Day weekend, we like to take a trip north to see the changing leaves in Vermont or New Hampshire. This year, we decided we would head to Campton, NH to try out The Little Red Schoolhouse. We weren't alone. It was their last day of service for the season, and the line snaked around the building. Parking was an additional challenge, and that was only the beginning. We waited in line for about a half hour watching and listening as they declared certain menu items gone, no bacon, no fried shrimp or scallops, no clam chowder. But when we got to the head of the line we got the worst news: the wait once we ordered would be two hours! I don't like waiting in line for things. I really didn't like the idea of waiting around for two hours once I ordered. The couple in front of us bailed altogether. I had noticed other people quitting the line as we got closer. But I didn't have a plan B, so we decided to wait. We were going to go for a drive, but instead just decided to sit in the car for a bit. It's a good thing we did because the two hour wait was only about forty minutes, still long, but much more manageable. From the time we started looking for parking to the time I took a bite was about an hour and a half. The food was good, but nothing worth a ninety minute wait or a two hour drive. I got the A+ Lobster Roll which was more of a B+, but generous with lots of claw meat. The bun was very good, points for that. The garlic fries were good but cold. I'm not sure if that had to do with the air temperature or the crowds. The fish in the fish sandwich nice and my son's grilled cheese was excellent. Their tartar sauce wins points too. The view is pretty, particularly from the upper deck, but we had a table a little farther back so we were looking past people to see the mountains and the valley. And the leaves aren't far along in their annual transformation this year so it was less impressive than I had hoped for. In the end, I'm glad I gave it a try but given the distance and the wait, it isn't something I'd go back to. Bottom line the food is decent (3 stars) and the view bumps it up to a 4, but the wait drags it back down to a 3. read more
