Wow, Vic's is fast becoming my favorite breakfast place. Too bad I live 2 1/2 hours away!…read moreThey are, friendly, efficient, the food is fresh. What can I say?? My Waitress, Tracy, gave me all the details on the difference between the steak tips and the grilled steak. I had the tips yesterday and the grilled today. They were both excellent at reasonable prices! I will be here every time I am in the area!!

I know this review would be an outlier here but I can only speak of my experience…read more We were looking forward to checking this local diner out after just having moved in to the neighborhood. The exterior looked unassuming but was pleasantly surprised on the inside. Really old school vibe, handwritten receipts and used mic/speakers to call the next customers to be served. They have freshly squeezed orange juice which was nice. The hostesses were prompt and attentive. Our order however, arrived later than everyone else around us, waited ~30min for our orders. I made the mistake of ordering steak & eggs here. I thought I said steak tips, my husband confirmed that I said steak tips but the server insisted I said just steak. All of this would've been fine IF the steak hadn't been so bad. I asked for medium steak, hash browns and sunny eggs. I got served a greasy well done steak, this was a bad cut as well with plenty of rubbery connective tissue, the hash browns ended up soaking a lot of the grease, they were all poorly seasoned and honestly lost my appetite after seeing my meal. I had a really bad experience in this place and won't be returning. Not pictured: avocado toast on sour dough. The sour dough was a sandwich-style bread, rectangular loaf. Avocado mash was cold. Just to level your expectations. Pancakes were not note-worthy either. Do not bother. I think maybe their waffles are the best sellers so best stick to that when ordering. Did not feel good tipping at this joint but did so anyway. Certainly won't be returning.

I'll give it 4 stars for now until I get to try more things from the menu.

Here's a fresh new spot hot off the press! Debuting only a few months before writing this review,…read moreFirst Watch is immediately kicking ass and taking names in the food industry. Why are they called First Watch? Don't know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But if I had to guess.. I think it's because they put *you* first. They look out for your comfort as you dine amidst their cozy decor, enjoying some of the most refined breakfast, brunch, and lunch items this part of NH has seen in a while. At least....that's what the "You first" section of their homepage told me. Now, of course, wifey was the one to first mention this place to me as a breakfast date possibility. Apropos that, I took a gander at their Yelp page. And despite them having only 15 photos of their menu items, I was immediately intrigued. I even knew what I wanted to try first. The Tri-Fecta®: The image alone sold me. Their waffles look golden crisp, yet light and airy. Accompanied only with the very best REAL maple syrup, it's the best damn waffle I've had in ages! This also comes with 2 eggs and choice of breakfast meats. Ya know I had to get the bacon extra crispy, of course. In keeping of plebeian fashion, I opted for the scrambled eggs this time. To say they were as velvety as crème fraiche would be underselling them. All they needed was a touch of seasoning and they were near perfect scrambled eggs. All in all, a 9 out of 10 for me. Highly recommended to all. Wifey got the same thing, only with a pancake and eggs over-hard. Sufficed to say, it was quite the delectation. I added a side of the seasoned home fries to mine because I was curious. They tasted great, but were also big enough to feed at least 2.5 persons. Needless to say, I took the rest home to accompany another homemade breakfast for a different day. Yeah...they were THAT good! Oh, quick side note: I asked about the "Million Dollar Bacon" since there isn't really a description on the menu. The server told us it was, like...Maple bacon with some sort of candy sprinkled on top? I don't really get it, but I'm sure there's some 7 year-old out there ordering this and having the time of their life at their parents' expense and dismay. XD Service was naturally sublime, as was the decor. It really has a classic, woodland New England vibe. That's the best way I can describe it, but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say. Also on full display here is their contemporary nature. You can scan-to-pay tableside via QR code which invariably means Apple and Google Pay are alive and well here; always a huge plus in my book! Public Wi-Fi is available, but also unsecured so....highly recommend using a VPN if you're doing personal transactions and whatnot. Overall, an experience most divine that's worth repeating many times over. I have my eyes set on an omelet situation next visit, though....I'm not seeing any options for customizing. Not to worry though. I'm sure they can accommodate revision. I'm giving First Watch 5 golden crisp Belgian Waffles doused in REAL maple syrup out of 5.

He became obsessed with taking me back for eggs Benedict so we went early for breakfast to beat the weekend crowd, only to order one of today's specials! Which means we have to go back for the Benny.

Coffee is self serve and once you order you can sit where you'd like. Everything is brought out to you piping hot! Our food was delicious-the Belgian waffle was huge and the stuffed French toast was really stuffed! We look forward to returning soon!

In the end I'm the one feeling quilt y about a small tip. Personality didn't show up until time to pay and tip... what a surprise.

Good burger. Nice char, juicy, plenty of fresh toppings…read more Breakfast is served until closing (2pm). Menus are on the table along with napkins, salt and pepper, sweeteners and creamer. Ketchup and their in-house made sauce were brought to the table after ordering. Lots of Elvis and Coke decor. Booth or counter seating. Two single restrooms at the back are clean. Parking in their private lot behind the building (near the gas station), on the side streets for free, or pay for street parking in front. Definitly a neighborhood favorite spot. Friendly staff.

The food was horrible. I went with the breakfast burrito special that they were offering. It was a PUDDLE of a mess and soggy. It lacked flavor, color, and showed no hint of seasoning. My wife ordered the pollo pennine with pesto. It was underwhelming and lack luster as well. Between the cheese and pesto it was OVER salted, and soggy due to the oversized tomato wedges being smashed in it with RAW onions. Against our better judgement, with the disappointment of both meals, we ordered a follow on side of French toast; and that was horrible as well. Undercooked, soggy, and flavorless toppled with a pile of powdered sugar and a gob of butter that would had left Paula Dean sayin 'Good LORD... that's a lot of BUTTER" the presentation was sloppy at best. This location might be a local staple, but as a stop through patron, we would NEVER go here again. Don't do it.... Keep driving or look for better quality at a Dunkin!
