“love this place. it's super warm and cozy. The tables are perfect not too close together. great food, great service and great coffee. please open a branch in Rollinsford next time you expand♥️”
“Our first time eating at Gallivant was yesterday. It was fantastic. The place is beautiful with open brick everywhere and completely decorated for the holidays… Everyone from the chef to our server were very attentive and welcoming. The food was outstanding! We will be back for sure and all of Dover & beyond should get over to this great establishment!”
“My boyfriend and I tried Sara Thai for the first time after passing through the area on a recommendation. We would give it a 10/10. Mai Tais were delicious. Pan fried dumplings were to die for. My boyfriend enjoyed the spring rolls. Pho was also delicious. They also proved to be very mindful of allergies. I have a shellfish allergy and after letting them know and placing our order; they realized the base of what I ordered had a ground up shellfish paste in it, they instantly came out to ask me if it was allergy or dislike. When I told them severe allergy they told me what on the menu I could get as they were out of the base of the vegetarian paste they could use in place of the shellfish one was. Not many chefs or restaurants would think of small ingredients like this being a contamination , so I really appreciated the awareness. Didn’t get pictures of everything, but attached is two great choices!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“First visit and not the last Great culinary and wine pairing experience. Everything was right and delicious. I loved the kindness and humility of the chef and his team, as well as their real love for the products and willingness to share their passion. Bravo encore”
“We wanted Italian tonight and was pleased to find Cartellis North End right in Dover. Service was great. You can actually see the kitchen from anywhere you sit. Even though the place is small and noisy, the atmosphere was quaint and the food was delicious. I heard they give large portions, so we ended up each ordering appetizer and splitting an entree but still brought some home. Loved the spinach/artichoke dip. The chicken wings looked delicious but the penne vodka with shrimp dish was wonderful. Thanks for being so close to home and bedtime wishes to expand some day soon.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!”

“My husband and I visited as part of our anniversary road trip. I highly recommend this place! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the selection of cider was just off the charts! If you happen to be in this part of New Hampshire, stop in, you won’t regret it.”
“The food and drinks were excellent, it’s a fun atmosphere and our waitress Cassie was wonderful.”
“It was great! My husband and I went for our anniversary last night and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was outstanding. I got the ribeye and my husband got the steak tips and they were both delicious. Highly recommend, and we are already planning our next trip in!”

“Easily one of my favorite breweries (in NH and beyond) and the place I always recommend to people for killer beer and awesome tacos. I have never had a beer here that isn't a straight 10, and their environment is low-key and so welcoming. Their staff is also awesome! Also lots of seating inside and a dog friendly patio. If you are in the Dover area stop in- you won't be disappointed!”

“We have been searching for a decent local restaurant that has great service & amazing food. We have been so dissatisfied in the past with other local places & stumbled across The Brick this afternoon. We decided to give it a try & we’re so glad that we did! From the moment you walk in it’s incredibly inviting & the staff is very friendly. The food was outstanding & the bartender that waited on us was top notch! We highly recommend The Brick! We will definitely be back!”
“My best friend and I are phô fanatics and had been pretty let down by the quality of our once favorite Thai place. We went searching for a new place to try and stumbled across Thai Taste. When I tell you this is absolutely our new favorite restaurant, I am not exaggerating. The meat in the phô was so tender it fell apart. The noodles had the right amount of bite, the veggies were fresh and the broth was to DIE for. Our crab Rangoon and dumplings were also amazing. That’s not even what really made this experience amazing though! The customers there seemed to be regulars and were so kind and easy to talk to. Topping it off with ridiculously perfect service and an owner who was clearly passionate, talented, and kind - it was clear this was a rare gem. Do yourself a favor and go. I live in Manchester and I will gladly drive the hour just to go here. They have a customer for life.”
“14 members of my family were in on Wednesday September 10th to celebrate my last chemo treatment and 3 family birthdays….our waitperson was Samantha, she was wonderful, very friendly, never missed a step when serving this loud talkative group. We want to make sure she is given a nice job….she’s an asset to your team….food was delicious….4 of us came back on Saturday for salmon….excellent again… Thanks to the staff, cooks and food we will be in many times again.”
“The three of us out of the family of four that ate the pork (either from the bottom of the pupu platter or chopped up in our fried rice) spent several days feeling like we were on death’s door thanks to food poisoning. I’ve never evacuated my bowels that much in my life without effort. This used to be our favorite place but sadly we will never do it again.”
“Great food great service and wonderful decor will definitely go again”
“The food was amazing the wait staff was attentive the only thing I was disappointed in was we had reservations and after we finished our dinner we were told that someone was coming in so we had to leave after only an hour and 15 minutes.”

“Three Sisters Cake Shop was an absolute dream to work with and exceeded every expectation we had. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, stress-free, and incredibly well organized — exactly what you hope for when planning a wedding.
They went above and beyond by offering excellent gluten-free options for my now husband, who has celiac disease. Knowing that his needs were not only accommodated but treated with such care and attention meant so much to us and gave us complete peace of mind on our wedding day.
And the desserts — truly unforgettable. Three Sisters created the most delicious and beautifully curated array of desserts we could have ever asked for. Every single item was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely loved by our guests. We received countless compliments on how incredible everything tasted, with many people going back for seconds (and thirds).
If you are looking for a bakery that combines professionalism, thoughtfulness, and exceptional quality, Three Sisters Cake Shop is it. We couldn’t recommend them more and are so grateful they were part of our celebration.”
“We were visiting our family this past Thanksgiving in Somersworth. Stopped by Tendercrop Farm Market and saw your coffee. Smelled delicious so we purchased a bag of Morning Blend. Gave it a try when we returned home to SC. Was not disappointed and very impressed by the great flavor and smooth finish. We normally drink 1/2 caff coffee but didn’t see options for that on your website. We are ordering both the Morning Blend and Morning Blend Decaf and will mix these to make or own version of 1/2 caff coffee.
12/24/25: Follow-up to original post. Our version of Morning Blend half caff turned out great. However, when I received my first order, the staffed responded to my note and informed me that Evening Blend is their half caff. So just ordered my next batch of Morning Blend and also giving Evening Blend a try. Thank you for the help and looking forward to more great coffee. Merry Christmas.”
““Bubby’s Bagels at the Dover Amtrak Station proves you don’t need a ticket to ride—you just need caffeine and a muffin. I tried a peppermint iced coffee that tasted like Christmas clocked in early, followed by a salted caramel so smooth it could sweet-talk a parking meter. Greg (pretty sure that’s his name, but if not, he deserves the title anyway) was outrageously pleasant—basically customer service with a personality. The atmosphere? Comfortable enough that you forget you’re next to a train station. The staff? Friendly enough that you’ll want to come back even if you’re not hungry. The muffins? Absolutely dangerous—I meant to take a bite and accidentally auditioned for ‘Disappearing Act: Bakery Edition.’ They also serve sandwiches, which I didn’t get a chance to try this time, but if they’re anything like the coffee and muffins, I may need a season pass. If you’re in Dover and skip Bubby’s, you didn’t just miss a train—you missed joy in edible form.””
“price of a custom burrito is 28$ same price of a extra large pizza. I create my own. their original burrito is 9.85$ location dover nh hi fi burritos price depend 10- 20$ pleasant people. I get treated awesome food, is always fresh. I recommend try their tofu. It is something you can't get from another place. Portion are the same however price went up. As everywhere else but worth it. I love their menu. As I rather not have that complicated. I've been going for almost a year now. I really enjoy seeing them. Everytime I went they are really nice to everyone. Including me. Some take the tike to understand me. They take the extra mile. When I first time going there 2024, I got a regular burrito. Then one day I had a thought. Why not get a big burrito kinda as a food challenge. I still remember, was her first time doing a big burrito. She put eye of the tiger for me from eating that. They have skills in mastering the burrito. Trust me on this. I always leave a 14% tip when they creat my food challenge the big burrito takes 3 wraps 5 tofu 2 brown rice, 2 Mexican rice 2 back bean 2 refried bean hand full of cheese 4 of each addons”

“First visit, three regulars chatted up with me, one explaining the Nobility Club option. Second visit just as friendly. During my third visit I joined the Nobility Club. I am 🇩🇰 “Danish Royal Cousin”. 🇩🇰 I return several times each month. The food options are playful and individually prepared, each exceptional. The beer quality and variety excellent and equally playful. Do put this venue on your ‘to visit list’‼️”

“We got our first loaf of this bread yesterday from tender crop farm. The man who was advertising this bread was very informative and helpful when we picked our perfect loaf. He was very proud of this company and his wife! He spoke so highly of her and was excited to show off her picture on the top of the bread shelf. Today we grilled the bread, my daughter had hers with Nutella and i had mine with eggs over easy. DELICIOUS. 10/10 recommend. We will try sour dough next!”

“Visited Fury’s for a private event. The food was put together wonderfully and deliciously and everyone was very attentive to our needs. My cocktail as perfect. I remember these old mills (Clarostat) when I was a young girl and I was pleasantly surprised to see how they’ve been transformed! There’s an outdoor deck with picnic tables on the water. If I ever cruise back thru Dover again I would definitely make it a stop to eat and enjoy a cocktail.”

“I came to this Aroma Joe's to get a 32 ounce blue Hawaiian rush. And when we left, I put it in my cupholder and we took a corner and across the car and it did not crack. It's an odd drip and it did not spill. It's the Roma Joe's is great. They make their cups struct and their 30 ounces will never spill.”
“The Dunkin's on Portland Ave. in Dover, NH, located in Mike's Mobile, had the nicest, sweetest, very professional ladies working this afternoon, September 2nd, around 3pm. I think they both should be commended and given a bonus for going above and beyond. Rare to find employees like them.”
“went there for lunch and my server kelly was on point and sweet as pie.”
“Best burger I've eaten in awhile cooked to a perfect medium liked fries too My bar tender was very personable and attentive”
“I met with Nancy today at Fiddleheads Somersworth. I originally wanted to buy Terra Cotta gnocchi for my chicken and gnocchi soup, but we ended up talking from both of our vehicles all the way to cooking, she mentioned so many tips and tricks mixing some of the sauces and in the end I bought myself some alfredo sauce and pesto basil that I cannot wait try tonight for my family. Thank you Nancy for your cooking advices I will definitely stop by the place at the Mills soon!”
“My 10-year-old wanted to go for dinner and he asked the host if we could sit by the window. We were told no even though there were several tables open. Asked for a manager and the manager told us no that's not how they do it. We left”
“Great Location and atmosphere... Don't forget the SEVENTY FIVE beer choices!! AND, one of the best Burgers I've ever had. can't miss...and the staff is awesome to boot!! Be there!!”

“Service was great. Several times I've been there and had to send something back. Once was a riblets plate with honey barbecue sauce. A side salad was ordered. Instead got a riblet plate with spicy hot barbecue sauce and fries. I ordered steak and had to send it back repeatedly because it was rare instead of medium, then well done. I gave up sending it back that night and smothered my steak with mashed potatoes... Either someone was new to the job or learned to cook properly.”

“Living in Dover the coupons are sent directly, so me and a friend went and I enjoyed BOGO chicken strips, excellent value since one was free and my friend always likes the 4 for $4, we ate in and the new remodeled dining room was very pleasing and inviting, busy. Food was hot, prepared as ordered satisfying, I took home the second order, and wonder why the other 2 big chains cannot duplicate this experience- not even close. First tried Wendys in Columbus 1976 and hooked since then. Africa is a nice lady but she was off that day. Well worth going every day and if they came to work (kittery) would have this choice. Nice job-thanks Dave Thomas, your work lives on in these restaurants. Like Portsmouth too. Still my go to even with other choices nearby-between heavy discounts with mailed coupons and superior product-the BOGO for a $1 more-still around $8.00 for both-no one else comes close-hot, fresh, filling. The $1 Honey chicken biscuit a real bargain, and with coffee $3. total. My friend had the 4 for 4 and I brought a coupon for a free Single.”

“The bagel with lox is incredible every time and the crulers are soooo worth the hype. The coffee is always super yummy and everyone working there is very kind and efficient even in really busy rushes. It’s one of my boyfriend and I’s favorite spots for a weekend coffee and breakfast run!”
“Staff was great. Asked if I was a reward member, which I am, then liked up my number, and told me that I have $5 in reward points, that will expire in two weeks. He didn't have to do that, but he did. Love the Thanksgiving sub and Steak Bomb subs. Loaded every time.”
