Saturday night is date night for us. We live an hour from here and had eaten here a long time ago…read more As we live in a smaller town, most of our dinner dates are local places where we seldom even have to look at the menu to know what we want. Tonight, I was in the mood to try somewhere else and suggested we eat here. We are both so grateful we decided to drive to Lincoln. The drive across the Kancamagus makes it an enjoyable drive to get there and home.. Now onto dinner. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs, and even helped when we had questions, as they know their dishes well. My wife chose the Burrata Chicken dish , and was very happy with her choice. For me, I chose The Sweet Corn, Bacon Ravioli ..This meal was so flavorful and was beyond what I was expecting. As we took 1/2 our meals home and a load of their bread, this meal was one of the better meals we've had and yet, the price for this dinner was about the same as we'd spend most anywhere else.

This was the best meal of our trip! Baked scallops were excellent. Served with basmati rice and a…read morenice mixed seasonal vegetable of yellow and green squash and carrots. A complementary bread basket that included garlic dusted dinner rolls, and a couple slices of blueberry lemon bread, which were delicious. I overheard the waitress telling another patron that the blueberry lemon bread was available for purchase, so I made sure to take one to go. I was very disappointed when I went to eat it a few days later, that the bread I received was not the same as the one that was in the bread basket. It had no lemon flavor and it was crumbling apart. My husband ordered chicken tenders, which were fine. Dessert was so yummy. It was a brownie sundae with incredible hot fudge. I would definitely return or visit another of their locations.

You shouldn't have to beat for service. Maybe just bad luck but be warned they don't seem happy to have business.

This place had the most random things on the menu; how good could it possibly be? But,…read moresurprisingly, our favorite meal during our New England trip was here. Cashew asparagus stir fry - My fave! Fresh and flavorful, this is exactly what I needed. Grilled cheese fondue - Sounds rather fancy, right? But it was just grilled cheese cut into squares with a savory-sweet dipping sauce. My family loved it. Pulled duck grilled cheese - Husband's fave, another win. This is the kind of place you go to after a long day hiking or just being outdoors. The kind of place that serves comfort food and just the right amount too (not too much where you just want to crawl in bed and rot right after). Will definitely save this cute spot for future travels.

The owner, chef, and staff are personable and passionate which shows in their food and service. We tried the specials--Mary's Chili, and Brisket sandwich. WOW!! They just opened on May 31, 2025 and hit the ground (slopes?) running! The chili was loaded with corn, beans, peppers, and tons of meat. Just the right amount of heat! The brisket sandwich special was tender, hot, and juicy and slathered with your choice of cheese--again, lots of toppings. Food was served hot and quickly. We brought our dog and sat on the outside patio with great views of Loon Mountain. I rarely award 5 stars, but this place has earned it for food, service, and music. Oh, and speaking of music, check their facebook, instagram or website for their live music schedule. There's a great area off the bar to see live performances and listen to great music.

We finally got to try the Lincoln Diner! Nice location and…read morebeautiful, historical train wagon restaurant that has moved towns and locations a few times throughout the years, and has now been in Lincoln since 2025. There weren't many people lined up, but we still ended up waiting about 30 min for a table. This seems to be caused by a lack of staff - we noticed tables weren't being cleaned up for a good 10-15 min after people left, and waitresses were rushing around. Honestly from what we observed - they could slash their waiting time by half by being more efficient and/or hiring busboys. But moving on. Food was definitely worth the wait! Boyfriend and I both had the "Cadillac" breakfast (because, well, our car) and we both loved it. He had pancakes with it and I had French toast - I *loved* the French toast. Delicious. Boyfriend also had a side of corned beef hash and I had a bite - it was my first time trying corned beef and I liked it a lot! He liked it too, and says he's usually picky with that dish, so... Overall we would return! Food was great and service was super friendly.

There was a line of people and the hostess takes each group in order so our wait was about 15 minutes. The food remains diner material. My chowder was quite good and my tuna melt was good.

The theme is MOON! Came on a Tuesday morning to get some…read morebreakfast on a snowy day~ glad it was open because of the current off-season Spring time. Staff took our order and once it was ready, were called up to pick up. Plenty of seats since there aren't much people around, but again, on-season might be a different story. It first come, first serve for tables~ all food is given in to-go bags and packaging which is convenient if your off to another spot for some NH nature adventure. I ordered a wrapped that had egg, bacon and veggies. It was good, but very simple. My partner and I ordered the same drink, and what made it funny was how both came out in different colors and had different flavors. My drink tasted like it had more strawberry while his tasted like it had more banana. Overall a good experience with standard solid food for a touristic area. Clean and chill.

This was our 2nd…read morevisit to this restaurant; we had eaten here a year ago and liked it, which is why we chose to come back. Great service. I had requested a window table when booking and we got one! The restaurant seemed full, with mostly resort guests. Very lively bar area, great atmosphere and lighting. No children in sight while we were there. Our waitress was very polite and efficient as well. We had the Caesar salad and fried calamari as appetizers; that's what we had last year and we loved it - still great this year. Boyfriend *loved* the calamari, it did have a "kick" to it - watch out for those jalapeños! He gives me that big parmesan chip from his salad and I love it! He had the 14oz striploin steak as main dish and unfortunately, wasn't too impressed. He found it a bit overcooked (had asked for medium rare) and it was kind of bland (that's probably his fault though because he had asked them to remove the garlic aioli usually served with it). Also - this cut wasn't a bone-in so the steak was bigger than he expected, and he couldn't finish it. He loved the asparagus and other veggies however, which were prepared perfectly. I had the napoleatan Ragu which I thought (from seeing pictures on social media) would be a MUCH smaller portion than what was served. It was tasty but I couldn't finish half. If you are boxing up leftovers it would probably reheat really well the next day (we couldn't as we are on a road trip. I mean, maybe I could have anyway. But it's a bit late to think of that now, Amelie). Overall it was another great evening... ambiance is most important to me when eating out and this place has it right. We liked our main dishes better on our 2025 visit though (pizza and shrimp scampi) - and would keep that in mind if/when we return...

I ordered the veggie burger with a gluten-free bun, and the bun was toasted perfectly. The waitress also proactively mentioned that while the fries are not made with gluten ingredients, they are cross contaminated, which I really appreciated. Because of that, I switched to a side salad with balsamic dressing instead. All the salad dressings are all gluten free, and there were several other gluten-free options on the menu. For dessert, I got a gluten-free and vegan carrot cake slice. The atmosphere inside was cozy and had a brewery-like, outdoorsy feel. Overall, it was a really comfortable and stress free dining experience, especially as someone who is gluten-free and vegetarian.
