We walked into this old style diner and the people are so nice. We were welcomed right away and we ordered up the eggs. Benedict. I don't think we chose the right item as the sauce was broken. The eggs undercooked and The ham hard and not tasty. The the English muffin wasn't toasted or grilled. It seemed to be uncooked. I love supporting local diners and the people and we tipped heavily but I just wouldn't go back cuz the food which is the main draw of a diner wasn't up to par. They really should clean the place from top to bottom as well and as much as I hate to say it, we would pass. read more

Small town diners are something I truly miss, so when I was in New Hampshire visiting family I jumped at the offer to grab some breakfast at the Northwood Diner. I arrived at Logan on a Thursday morning and my family picked me up and brought me here around 8AM. It was the Fourth of July so it was pretty busy at the diner but the staff were very kind, very quick at providing drinks, and gave us time to look over the menu and place our order. This was my first time eating here so when I saw Country Fried steak on the menu I knew I needed to give it a try. The plate was practically on fire when it was served so after giving it 30 seconds I couldn't help but dig in and I absolutely loved this meal. The country fried steak tasted exactly how I thought a small town country fried steak would taste and the same goes for the toast, potatoes, and eggs I had on the side. Was it the absolute best I've ever eaten? No, but sometimes all you want is exactly what they give you and that's exactly what the case was here. On top of the food being good, this place was decorated in Northwood history while the front end sold bread and baked goods that were made locally, what else could you ask for? Overall, a big thumbs up for the Northwood Diner. The friendly staff, tasty food, and small town charm this diner offers is everything I sometimes miss about living in New England. read more

Went with some friends. A solid breakfast with great and quick service. Worth the drive for a local diner

While in the area we ate here two mornings. This is a very busy place but we were greeted right away by very friendly staff. We sat down and almost immediately our waitress was over asking if we wanted coffee. Yes. Please. The place was clean and comfortable. The menu is not overwhelming but quite adequate, with a good number of offerings. The first day my wife ordered an omelet with bacon, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. It arrived with home fries, sourdough toast, and no bacon. When this was pointed out our waitress immediately returned with a side of bacon at no charge. I ordered eggs over easy, sausage patties, rye toast and a side of grits. My breakfast was large and perfect. The coffee kept on coming. The second day my wife ordered the same omelet as the day before and this time it arrived perfectly. I ordered the "Diner Breakfast" the second day. It was huge. bacon, sausage, and a nice piece of ham. Home fries and this time I ordered the fresh made cinnamon raisin toast. I enjoyed this breakfast. We had the same waitress who remembered us from the day before. She was very friendly and attentive. The second day the place was packed, every one was very busy but we still all received personal attention and all the staff was still smiling. The whole place got to sing Happy Birthday to one of the waitresses. It was a nice, family friendly, morning. read more

A simple, old school diner serving very good food - my wife and I had breakfast - by a pleasant and efficient server. They offer their homemade bread for toast (at a small upcharge) which added a nice touch. Prices are reasonable. We'll be back! read more

great food and the waitress are about the most friendly around!! prices are online or cheaper than any others around and the owner is always greeting you and makes sure you are happy with the service! you might have to wait for a table on weekends , but it is worth it... don't forget all the homemade bread for sale too !!! read more

A cute diner! There aren't a ton of options in the area, but this is a welcome and solid option. They have a varied menu for breakfast and lunch and offer a lot of homemade baked goods. We went in for breakfast on a weekday and it was busy but not packed and were seated right away. The server was really friendly and attentive. We both opted for veggie omelets; they're only two-egg so they're on the smaller side than what you'd find at a lot of other restaurants. It was still good! And the sourdough bread was fantastic. My potatoes were either perfectly crispy or overly chewy, no in-between. We decided to take home a loaf of their sourdough bread, but when we cut into it later, it was definitely NOT sourdough. It tasted like a very weird challah. We're not sure if it was mislabeled, but it wasn't what I had with breakfast. read more

Killer pancakes bigger than your head. A good old fashioned diner established back in the 70's Good location, excellent service. Try the homemade bread, take a loaf home!!!! read more

The food is great, but the atmosphere is grungy and old and outdated and too bright. It's not welcoming it's kind of dreary and it's needs a good renovation for sure but the food is great. The service is friendly the menu is priced appropriately and they have a lot of homemade baked goods, so I'll go back again, but I probably won't eat in. they have a great takeout service, so we take advantage to that read more

On the road again, past by this dinner many times finally got to stop. The waitress was excellent, efficient, kind and seemed to genuinely like what she was doing. They make 12 kinds of homemade breads. We took home a loaf of orange cinnamon which was so good toasted. We ordered the special pastrami and Swiss omelet, home fries and Anadama toast 6.95 first time I had a pastrami/Swiss omelet it was very good, toast was delicious and home fries really crunchy. We also got blueberry pancakes with an egg over easy. Egg was cooked perfectly and pancake was delicious. Coffee was hot and good quality. Loved the red white and blue theme. Who would not love breakfast with Elvis, Marilyn and the old movie posters. Will definitely be back! read more

Meh. Came here because it was voted best diner in the Concord area for several years. I ordered the French toast using their homemade Dutch apple bread. What I got were 2 thin slices of bread that were pretty flavorless. My wife's omelette was about the smallest omelette I've ever seen served for breakfast. All-in-all...meh, just barely average. The server was very prompt and friendly. Otherwise it would have been a 2 star rating. No idea how this place got voted the best. read more

A qualified maybe. Food was good. I was offered homemade hash or hash from a can. Is that a choice? Regardless hash was good but poached eggs were overdone and home fries (potato cubes) were neither hot nor crispy. Interior/ambiance was poor. Did not try homemade bread or baked items which may be the best item at the diner. No other breakfast options between Concord and Durham. read more

What a hidden gem! Casual, friendly, and a perfectly-cooked cheeseburger. My partner concurred on her burger and added, "and best onion rings ever"! And home-made bread for the trip home. Seriously, add this to your list of favorite places. We will be back for sure. read more

Best diner around. Small town feel, food is always 20/10. Our go to breakfast place. Always booming and busy

Always a favorite of mine when I have the chance to go. The staff is great. Seating is diner tables. If you want fancy....that's not it.... If you want a fantastic breakfast. Head in and order. Get the homemade hash if it isn't gone already. They have some awesome breads you can buy to take with you too. Mmmm read more

There was a small waitlist but they went quickly. The staff was very friendly and they had all kinds of different homemade breads which was cool. The food was average sort of bland a little seasoning on home fries goes a long way. read more

Amazing options and food! It is a must try , visit. It does get busy on weekend mornings in summer, but highly recommend.

Great little diner! We had a wonderful breakfast .. Irish Benedict (the homemade hash browns were great). Our waitress was fantastic (has been there 32 years ) and we got food quickly and eggs cooked perfectly. The homemade breads looked wonderful but we only tried the anadama..yum. read more

Visited after dropping son off at camp. You would easily just drive by this non-descript building housing this homey little diner. Hoped it'd be a nice find. Service was pleasant and efficient and it was very clean and well-kept. Alas, the food was just so-so. I had two eggs scrambled with homefries and toast. Also had a side of corned beef hash as I'd seen on Yelp that it's homemade. Nice homefries, eggs OK, toast was soggy, and hash was bland and mushy. Wife had the Eggs Benedict which she asked for without the bacon. Despite that it ended up coming with bacon. The muffins were soggy and she felt it had too much Hollandaise (I thought it looked fine.) Overall, she did not like this dish at all. We might try again when up in that neck-of-the-woods, but we might not. read more

Great small town diner. Fresh baked breads. Food is very good. Friendly waitstaff.

If you're not a local, you won't get seated. We waited as they seated 2 other parties who came in after us then there were no more tables left. Basically were ignored. Went to Northwoods Brewing across the street for breakfast. Better choice if you're not a local! read more

Friendly staff, great food, relaxed dining environment, and a great bakery for very fair wages prices. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

You won't find a more down-home country diner with New England charm than Northwood Diner. You immediately feel like you walked in to your grandma's kitchen (the grandma you like who always give you cookies, not the one who made you clip her toenails or made you edge her lawn 5 seconds after arriving). The owner even comes to visit and chat with each customer-- just to get to know them. This little spot must be home to loads of regulars, since they bake all of their bread freshly every morning on site. They must sprinkle their cinnamon raisin toast with magic fairy dust, because I was dreaming about it for days afterward. read more

I love the food here breakfast is great but before you go you must get the sweets they have at the counter all of them are fantastic home-cooked sweets muffins and cookies everything you would want so if you are getting food here make sure to leave room for dessert read more

There is nothing like the Northwood diner! Always delicious with wonderful friendly service. I'd like that they have made it easy to do takeout or curbside during the pandemic. They have lovely outdoor picnic tables when weather permits. Everything I've ever had there is delicious in the homemade bread is a nice touch. read more

Now I am from the south and we LOVE food especially breakfast and I have to say this place HANDS DOWN was the best Hashbrowns as well as french toast I have ever had ever. The Hasbrowns were tender, crispy and perfectly seasoned with onions peppers and cheese adorning its top. And there were alot of them they could almost be a breakfast all in themselves. The French Toast, First off this place makes its own pastries, cakes, muffins, and breads so I naturally picked the Dutch Apple bread to make my French Toast.......omg it was so moist and packed with flavor I didn't even touch the syrup. read more

Great place to start your day in classic diner style. And they make incredible bread

Grabbed Breakfast here a while back, friendly and funny staff but the food wasn't great. My girlfriend got eggs which were undercooked and runny, I got Eggs and corn beef hash which were cold in the middle, I also got some pancakes which were ok. This place seems very popular but from the quality we got Im not sure why. read more

Great hot dog and bean lunch. Certainly homemade beans that I have yet to finish in one sitting. If you are a hot dog and bean guy, this is the place. read more

Our Father's Day breakfast was ruined at northwood diner... not because of the half hour wait...to be expected...not because of the coffee...which is all we got during the hour we waited at the table once seated...not even because of the food...after waiting almost an hour and hadn't even started cooking 2 breakfast sandwiches and a traditional 2 egg plate...but because after an hour of waiting, we had to leave and were forced to pay for coffee and juice with bad attitude and "can't you see how busy we are". We exercised profound patience and understanding during the hour and a half waiting, because it was Father's Day. Had it not been for my grandfather's service, we might have waited longer. We won't be back. read more

We stopping for breakfast and it took a half hour to be served. The waitress tossed cream and sugar down on the table and was just plain rude. The toast wasn't toasted. It was drowned in butter making it a mushy mess. The eggs were overcooked and the bacon was undercooked. Just terrible! Then we got the bill and tried to pay immediately and the waitress just walked away. We had to walk up front to pay. Needless to say, she didn't get a tip read more

We hadn't been here in a while so since it's close to the house I figured we would come back when our food came i realized why I had not been here in so long my omelette look like it was made with to pigeon eggs it was so small Connie's eggs were very over cooked the home fried potatoes were so crunchy there was no way they were freshly made this morning they also scraped the grill and gave us all the crust which was totally disgusting we decided not to complain and just make the best of it then comes the bill everything is itemized home fries and toast were charged extra cheese on my cheese omelette was extra it was about $8 in extra charges we just paid the bill and decided to never come back here then the funny part comes as a walking out the door I read the sign voted best restaurant 2018 come on what a laugh read more

This place looks like a totally dive kinda diner from the outside, and kinda from the inside. It's a basic big building with little character. They did try, they put up some old timey 50's posters, photos etc, but they happened to pick the cheesy iconic ones. Now I feel like I am bashing the place and I really don't mean to. The food was great! They have a big menu, with a lot to offer, and super super SUPER cheap prices! The waitstaff are on their tows and deal with the busy crowd well. I had the anidama french toast with eggs and bacon. YUM! The best thing about this place is that they make their own bread. and it's AWESOME! read more

When I'm in town visiting my family, I ALWAYS make a point to have breakfast at Northwood Diner. It's the best in town. The food is great, and the staff is focused, friendly, and fast. Sit at the counter and converse with the locals, or grab a table. They serve the most lip-smacking good Anadama french toast on the planet. Get it with a side of scrambled eggs and sausage links, wash it down with your perpetually-refilled cup of coffee and a big OJ, and you'll be very happy. Pick up a loaf of bread and a whoopie pie for the road -- it's all made fresh in-house every single day. read more

As others have mentioned: the breads are the best thing going at Northwood. I had an omlet with homefries which was passable, mediocre really, though average for diner quality. They did put a lot of vegetables in it. It was good but didn't leave a big impression. The bread was great though, particulalry the apple cinnimon which the waitress recommended by saying it was one of the most popular ones. They let you try two different types if you order it with a meal. The other slice that I had was jalapeno, onion, and cheddar I believe. The flavor on that one was actually very subtle. I wanted it to be a little more spicy with a kick to it, though it was still good. I just expected more oomph. We did purchase a loaf of apple cinnimon to go. The waitress even took a new loaf from the kitchen for us because there was none left up front, which was very nice. Service was good. Our waitress was friendly and took a minute to explain the bread selection to us. The coffee was decent and they kept refilling it, which I appreciated. I also tried a bite of my boyfriend's meal which was sausage gravy over toast. It was ok, definitely not as good as other bisquits and gravy recipes I've had while traveling in the south or out west. The gravy was a little thin and more bland than similar meals I've tried. Not bad though. Prices were inexpensive. Ambience was very cliche diner and a bit divey in a charming way, with old road signs and a huge Elvis poster on one wall. It's a good place to stop if you are passing through. It was one of the only diner style establishments we were able to find on this particular stretch of road, so stop in if you are in the area. read more

This diner might look like any other from NH, but they serve up some really tasty food. 7 different homemade breads on special, and loaves to-go for $4. Excellent service and friendly staff that works well with each other to get the job done. Most of all I like the A la carte style menu, add any item for only a few bucks. Load up on a huge plate of extras or just get some eggs. The coffee was great too. So if you are creeping through Rt 4 in NH, skip the fast food and hit up the Northwood Diner. You won't be disapointed. read more

Solid New Hampshire diner. I legit felt like I was in the Northwoods of New Hampshire eating here. Blue collar joint where everyone seems to know everyone. Nothing fancy but good hearty food. Had eggs/sausage/ham/bacon/home fries and blueberry pancake. All served warm, tasty with fast service. Coffee was kept topped off and 13 types of homemade bread to choose from. read more

Great local diner. Came for breakfast. Eggs were cooked to order. Amazes me how difficult it is to get over medium eggs in other places. Bacon was flavorful. Home fries were obviously made in-house and not from a bag or the freezer. Their homemade breads are worth the trip. read more
