NH Foodie Thread (Rochester, Milford, Epping: best, burgers, visit)

As Seacoast and primarily Dover is all I am familiar with, I recommend Kelly's and Blue Latitudes both in downtown.

The wife and I lived in Sunapee, so our suggestions are for the Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee Region:
Graze in New London for excellent meals from a sustainable restaurant.
Gusanoz in Lebanon for Mexican food.
Bubba's in Newbury for excellent pub food at regular prices with a million dollar view.
Blackwater Junction in Andover for amazing diner food, especially breakfast.
Foothills in Warner for amazing breakfast, and the cinnamon rolls.....oh wow, those cinnamon rolls.
Ramunto's in Claremont for very good pizza and pasta, as well as excellent gluten free choices. Including gluten free beer.

As we rarely go out for supper I'll limit the comments to breakfast and lunch places.

Manchester - Che Vichon
Londonderry/Derry - How's Your Onion
Monadnock - Peterborough Diner
Portsmouth - Bob's Lobster Shack in Kittery
Littleton - Littleton Diner
Greenfield - Greatview (?) restaurant on the north side of Rt. 33

Hubby and I don't go out to eat all that much, but here goes:

Dartmouth/Sunapee region:
Three Tomatoes in Lebanon for a nice dinner out
C&S Pizza across the border in WRJ for the night in watching movies
The Fort truckstop in Lebanon for an awesome breakfast, plus it's open all night for those who can't sleep
Mike was right, Blackwater Junction in Andover is really good.

Lakes Region:
Not quite the Lakes Region, but I really liked Al's Village Pizza in Franklin and found the prices quite reasonable
If it's still open, The Downtown Tavern in Bristol generally has great food and the fish and chips can't be beat

Merrimack Valley:
Bradford Junction in Bradford serves a great breakfast and I doubt you'll find cheaper fare
Charlie Mac's in Warner is some of the best pizza I've had. I recommend the cheese lovers. The baklava is pretty good, but rich.

North Country:
We discovered Wayne's Market in Lincoln (or is it Woodstock?) when we were up that way. Stop there every time we are up north. Pies are amazing and he makes a great meatball sub. Didn't see a need to go to a sit down restaurant after that.

Now I feel like I need to get out more!

The best meal I ever ate was a filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes at the Birchwood Inn in Temple back in 1998. The inn is still in operation, but under new management.

The roast beef sandwich with BBQ sauce and pickles at Beefside in Concord places a close second. I don't know what I'll do if that place ever closes.

#3 was lamb chops and garlic potatoes at another NH restaurant that no longer exists: the Moxy Grill in Concord, circa 2000.

The Crystal Quail in Barnstead is supposedly the best restaurant north of Boston, but I've never been. It's miles off of any state highway, $75 prix fixe, sits 12 people per meal (if that), and it's BYOB, so the clientele tends to be self-selecting. If anyone else here has eaten there, I'd like to hear about it. (Ditto the new Birchwood Inn ~ I've been meaning to see what the new owners have done, but am hesitant to blemish the memory of perfection).

Not that I want this place to get more crowded and the wait to be longer, but the Tuckaway Tavern in Raymond is quickly becoming one of my new favorite places.

The buy one get one free lobster rolls on Monday and Tuesday is a hard deal to beat!

Hooked Seafood in Manchester. Fabulous!

Along the foodie thread....
Anyone know of a good place to get Southern style food? Not Cajun, but the likes of pulled pork, fried okra, and grits?

[MJ5150]

Bubba's in Newbury has some great pulled pork. I don't think they have grits or okra though.
