Main Street Station Diner on Main Street in Plymouth and North Station Diner on Route 25 in Rumney are good.

Main Street in Plymouth - totally agreed.

Polly's in Sugar Hill - touristy but awesome.

Janie's in Londonderry is excellent as well. The Purple Finch in Bedford is very similar and is a good option. Both get very crowded.

Black Forest in Amherst does lunch but serves excellent breakfast all day.

Big Bean Café in Newmarket -- they just opened a "spin-off" Big Bean in Durham but it's not as good.

Bristol diner is an AMAZING time capsule and should be more famous than it is. Great building, absolutely amazing location (right on a river) great prices. They could charge double and get away with it. The Bristol Diner is the best gem in the state

Great answer, the Big Bean is an “A”, but it’s not even the best in tiny little Newmarket! The Great Hill Maples is the best in NH. Very small, literally a shack warmed with a potbelly stove, they only serve pancakes with real maple syrup they themselves make, and only open a few months a year. But it’s absolutely perfect

I agree that the staff is awesome. But after everything opened back up and we tried again, it just wasn't very good. We went back the first time and it was terrible. We thought it was just a bad day, so we gave them another chance. Another fail, and I promise, we aren't Karens,I'm in the service industry and very forgiving. We really were sad about it, didn't go back for a while. We gave it one last chance, and said never again. Banners is the way to go for sure, give it a try if you haven't already.

This is what always fascinates me about restaurants and impressions. I'm not a fan of Banner's lol. I'm not saying you're wrong - I mean why would I tell a redditor their preferences are wrong? Haha.

I think part of what I enjoy about Bea's is that it's not touristy like all the spots up in NoCo. (Not saying that's Banner's)

Colby's in Portsmouth is far and away the best breakfast joint in town.

I have always found it shocking how few breakfast joints there are in Portsmouth and of the few there are that Colby's is essentially the only decent one.

Heritage Farm pancake house in Sanbornton has the best pancakes in the state.

For overall breakfast Purple Finch is Bedford is good.

Tuckers is extremely popular, but is very overrated, IMO. If there's no wait, it's worth it, but their wait times can be upwards of an hour.

The Foundry in Manchester has a Sunday brunch that is really good. I believe it's by reservation only.

The Windham Junction! For years I've been coming and going to NH and it has always been this special mom-and-pop kinda place. Never too busy.

Fantastic food and good coffee. Also a marvelous lunch menu.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet so I'll do the honors, Francouers Cafe in Manchester.

MojoMischief t1_j5i84m1 wrote

Depends. Wanna go somewhere similar to places you can find in other states? That’s how we view Tucker’s. Very overrated and tend to drop the ball on orders of more than a couple things. Want a unique and/or interesting experience? Polly’s Pancake Parlor, Bristol Diner, etc are exactly what I’d recommend.

In the south, riverside cafe in Milford. Try the CB stack or the pig pile.

In the north, Polly's. I am a pancake hater and theirs are great. Their other food is good, too.

Tucker's is fine but I think it looks a bit better than it tastes. It also has a more... corporate feel.

Depends on what kind of breakfast atmosphere you want. I prefer a local greasy spoon, and my favorite is Northwood Diner. The owner is there every Sunday morning, talks to everyone, and hangs at the counter with the regulars. I take my kids regularly to expose them to real people.

I didn't want to out Leno's, but because it already was, hard agree. I don't know if Sr. is still operating it, but friendliest guy in the world, you absolutely get what you pay for in fill and quality, and the atmosphere feels like a timewarp to simpler and better times. To this day, I've never found a place as good as Leno's.

Feels like the toast gets by on old reputation still. I don't like to be a big complainer when it comes to the service industry but the Bedford location gave me the worst breakfast experience of my life. I'll never go back, and I used to love going to the toast.

Omelettedufromage14 t1_j5kxntd wrote

elephantine in portsmouth is my number one - i adore the owners and the pastries are killer. rise + grind in durham has the best bagel sandwiches imo. someone already said it, but colby’s in portsmouth is always a winner. la mulita in rye has great coffee and they serve bagels from rose foods in portland, which are some of the best in northern new england. roots in dover has very good vegan breakfast on the weekends. 7north in exeter makes great muffins.

Went to the one in Portsmouth and swore never to return. It literally took 1.5 hours to be served eggs and get my check on a weekday when the place was barely busy. I went for a quick lunch, and was late returning to work because of it and was pissed. And, they were completely Unapologetic about it. Worst service I've ever experienced anywhere.

Yeah, sounds about right. I also couldn't believe how expensive it was and the portions weren't exactly big. Wr had a group of 4 adults and a 1 year old. One person had a hot plate, the others were room temperature. $120 with tip for breakfast and coffee, no booze. Think I'll dtick out the wait at Tuckers next time

Big Bean uses real syrup too, and all their breads are made on-site, from scratch.

Anyplace that's open only a few months a year may be fantastic, but I wouldn't bother telling people about it. Raising hopes only to find CLOSED on the door is disheartening. Big Bean is open year-round and is consistently excellent.

Their menu is extensive and every single thing is delicious. Most places with huge menus are just re-heating frozen food. The Bean makes everything with whole fresh foods, daily.

Disclosure: a member of my family supported herself during college by working there.
