“I've been going here for years. The food, service, and atmosphere are always great. This particular night, the "homemade Mac & cheese" was not very flavourful. It was extremely cheesy but flavorless, as if water was added to make the cream sauce spread further. Service is always superb, and the atmosphere is always welcoming.“

“Came in crowded every waitress was smiling. Very upbeat lunch and breakfast only though. Ordered the "Let's hash it out" choice of house made hash or canned. Who would order that is beyond me. But when it came out amazing. It was a dream in my mouth. It was as good as any deli in New York. This is a must eat place.“

“We went for lunch. Our server was Paul. The nicest man. He ran to give me my jacket I left on the back of my chair. He also ran outside but we had gone because my friend left her credit card on the table. We turned around went back and Paul was so professional and sweet. He was so happy we came back to pick up the credit card. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was amazing. Nice and bright and clean.“

“A must for breakfast! I swear they knew we were coming and what we were having as the food came out minutes after we ordered! Hot & delicious. Irish omelette for me and my bride had the "Award Winning Monte Christo" buckets of coffee and we were a happy couple! About 4mi out of downtown N.Conway but worth the drive“

“Visited Winter 2024-hard working people in that shop. Came in 20 minutes before closing. The crew seemed ready for a well deserved nap but were still smiling and very helpful.-great place to stop for a quick breakfast or lunch-no public bathrooms“

“I wish there were 100 stars to give out! The Onion Rings are wonderful, not overly breaded like so many and they use giant Vadalia onions too. Every thing we tried was great - so great that out of the 4 days we were in town we ate there twice....we never do that while on vacation. Thank you Brian, Tim and Lyndsey for an awesome time each and every time.“

“Wow! What a place, what an experience! If you're cruising the North Country and you get hungry and you don't mind waiting a bit (35 minutes), head over to Intervale. Very cool vibe, awesome staff, great food. It was well worth the wait, a great time was had by all!“

“We love this restaurant, for the service, the staff, the ownership and the overall honest vibe of the restaurant. They serve both breakfast and lunch, all year round. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Have not been disappointed with any food or drink we have ordered. We have a larger family, seven in total. In addition to breakfast and lunch foods, they have an expansive coffee and espresso menu, including macchiatos, americanos, cappuccinos and espresso. All hot or over ice. They have different syrup and sauces flavors. They also offer milk alternatives including but not limited to oat milk, almond milk and soy milk. They also serve various flavored smoothies. Our favorites are mango, strawberry banana and piña colada. Staff and owner are very conscientious to allergies and accommodating when need be. Whether it be as simple as egg whites only, or to use oat or almond milk in a hot chocolate or so everyone can have milk. We have been eating at this restaurant for years now. We have seen a lot of staff and training over the years and it is wonderful to see the care and the patience the owner has towards her staff and customers alike. There have been times when they are short staffed but it doesn't matter because of how they all respond and respect the needs of the customers. It always feels good to go back to a place and they know exactly who you are. Just an amazing feeling. I will always recommend this restaurant to family and friends alike. P.S. our dog loves the dog bones thank you“

“We stopped here on a whim on our way back to our home state and it definitely didn't disappoint. The decor is 100% cabin everywhere you look think if L.L. Bean had to fit into a restaurant. The food was so good we had burgers and they were both cooked to order and came out on metal meal trays which was cute and unique. Our 5yo son was with us and our waitress who we later found out was the owner was super sweet and made sure to speak directly to him which is a nice touch alot of people over look. We will go out of our way next time we are in NH to eat here again.“

“Went with energetic 2 year old and felt welcome by staff and other diners. We all shared the ramen- excellent! Though recommend leaving off jalapeño which was not authentic or contributing anything to the dish, a chili oil on the side would have been an awesome alternative.The beef lettuce wraps were also delicious, the mustard was a bit overpowering to the point it was more of a hamburger lettuce wrap, I couldn’t notice the Korean marinade as much, which was what I’d really been looking forward to. Finally, we had the salmon with Brussels sprouts and rice, absolutely perfect, and served so hot we could still see the steam coming off till the last bite.The menu overall is so appetizing, I’d love to keep going back and try everything, great selection, quality ingredients, timely and polite service, comfortable atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: I was nervous to being a toddler in what seemed a bit fancier place from the outside (though she’s dined all over Europe and is quite used to the experience) but it was comfortable and welcoming, though I wouldn’t say aimed at families and kids.“

“Max's Restaurant is the perfect combination of cozy and elegant, tucked away off the beaten path in the charming town of Eaton. As guests who typically stay right at Snowvillage Inn, it's so nice to be able to just walk downstairs to dinner, especially on those colder New Hampshire winter nights. From the servers to Darlene (the bartender) to owners Jennifer and Kevin, everyone at Max's is so hospitable and make you feel right at home. On my most recent stay at Snowvillage, we made a reservation at Max's on Friday night and planned on going out and exploring somewhere else in town for Saturday but we loved our meal so much, we ended up staying in both nights! On both nights we started with the ahi tuna nachos which were the perfect shareable appetizer. Night 1, I ordered the seared scallops which were perfectly cooked and were served over a parsnip puree and finished with a pomegranate molasses. So delicious, I could have licked the plate! And the salmon roe on top added a nice salty touch. Probably my favorite dish of the weekend! Night 2, I opted for the catch of the day, a delicious Asian-style halibut topped with seaweed and roasted garlicky mushrooms served over a bed of japonica rice. So flavorful! Don't skip out on dessert too! The flourless chocolate torte and New York style cheesecake were both the perfect sweet endings to a wonderful meal. We can't wait to return again very soon!“

“Writing from the office of North Conway Incinerator Service where no request is out of the ordinary from our peanut butter burgers to pizza in a bowl without the dough. Mason Brook Market is ready to take your order with no request to small, everyone is friendly, and the food is wonderful! Yes, you read that right, peanut butter on a burger, don't knock it, 'til you try it! Thank you for your great customer service, much love, from the staff at North Conway Incinerator Service!“

“Visited after the recent storm and was able to get delicious food (ramen was fantastic) and drinks, and was super appreciative of the free wifi since the cell towers were down from the storm. Great place to stop if you're headed through North Conway! Also looking forward to seeing the chef on Guys Grocery Games!“

“The pictures are correct, this place is kitschy as hell.. in the best way! We enjoyed looking at all the knick knacks along every wall and in every corner. So much personality!There was one server for the whole room (yes, it's a room, with a hand full of tables. Quite cozy. You'll get to know your neighbor ?) She did a phenomenal job! My only complaint is that the food had next to zero flavor. Presentation was nice though!“

“Wir haben hier am 24.09.2023 super urig gesessen und sehr typisch und original amerikanisch gegessen. Ich hatte den Smokey Burger und ein 14 Pigs Ear. Nadine hatte den Caesar Salad und ein Blue Moon. Alles mega lecker und klasse serviert. Das Restaurant ist sehr gemütlich und wir hatten einen tollen Abend nach einem langen Tag auf der Straße.“

“The service is quick and pleasant. Two small issues - the website photos show beautiful rare roast beef sandwiches but the rarest I've seen (even after asking pointedly for rare) was medium - tasty but way overcooked for my taste. My second issue is the very large amount of fried bits of breading included with the fried clams. The fried clams were excellent but it hurts to pay fried clam prices for fried breading. I still eat there but avoid the roast beef.“

“My go to spot in Bartlett. I had the chicken finger basket for lunch it was great. The fish and chips I had for dinner was perfect, thick golden crunchy beer batter. The fries and pizzas are great too. You can't go wrong with any of the burgers either! Great view of the mountain, good selection of beers. Great bartenders.“

“Counter ordered, and it takes quite a while to get your order even when it's not busy. The food is worth the wait. I'm not sure why it takes so long. It could be just like everyone else, short staffed. The market and shop are very unique ?. It's a must visit.“

“Party of 3 w a picky teen and 2 gluten free diners. GF pastrami w/o the marble rye, DELISH! Teen got chicken Caesar wedge, she liked it. High top table was a little wobbly, service was excellent our waitress was very personable and shared that her daughter worked there also, love this, the drinks were tasty (orange martini, and a mule) the price was a little on the high side but we left satisfied and would return! The waitress gave us some local tips and must sees to fill our empty day (snowmobiling got cancelled womp womp) and we went to the places she suggested, we were not disappointed! Thanks for a great experience!“
