Hi Everyone,

New restaurant in town. There is a new restaurant in Bedford, NH called Murphy's Taproom and has some impressive architecture both inside and out. Two weeks ago I had lunch there with my son and grandson we ate at the bar and ordered burgers which were very good. The full menu is not up yet as they are preparing the menu which should be ready very soon.

There is a very nice area for outside dining, which should be crowded during the warm weather. A lot of expense went into the construction of this fine restaurant, and should be very popular with ample parking.

Hi Folks,

I was in Concord, NH and decided to go to Cheers, which has very nice outside dining, my lunch was very good as was the service.

Cheers has been a regular stop for a long time in Concord, The outside dining is really very nice with plenty of tables and sun protection at each table.

Plenty of favorable comments on Yelp !!

Hello Everyone,

I was in Kittery, Maine and stopped in for lunch at Rudders Public House for lunch, I had a lobster roll with fries and everything was superb. This is a causal restaurant with some high tables and a large screen TV, plus there is ample outdoor dining and is right on the water.

When I am in the area I will stop in again, BTW there are many 4 and 5 star reviews on yelp

Hi Everyone,

I have another winner here for seafood, Bob's Clam Hut in Kittery, Maine, in the middle of the outlet stores on route 1, this is a wonderful place to eat seafood. Established in 1956 it has been welcoming visitors for over 60 years and customers keep coming back !

Downeast Magazine downeast.com called Bob's "The Best of Everything" for Fried Clams
and a write up in USA Today, also named one of the top ten Ice Cream Parlors by Trip Advisor in 2014 is Rococo Ice Cream, part of the same complex.

I really enjoyed my food ! Parking is limited, they recommend that you use the surrounding parking lots if they should be filled.

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday I was in Portsmouth, New Hampshire going to Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier in Kittery, Maine, I heard about this place on Boston's Channel 5 (Cronicle) and made it a point to go there. First of all the ride through Kittery was wonderful and the spot for Chauncey's is picture perfect, with ducks in the water etc.

In my estimation Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier is a hidden jewel, also they have a BOYB policy plus you can bring any food or drinks that they do not serve ! How about that.

Chauncey's has been over since 1948 and is a premier destination to enjoy fresh lobster along the seacoast. There are many 4 and 5 star reviews on Yelp.com

Hi Everyone,

Coming back from Maine I stopped in at The Holy Grail (finally) and had beer and a bowl of chicken vegetable soup, some of the best soup that I have had. I did not have a meal, ate too much in Maine.

The decor was very nice, felt like you were in Ireland, service was very good. A lot of 4 and 5 star reviews on Yelp, dinars like this place.

Anyone contemplating a wedding they have a separate building for that, actually a function hall which can be used for all sorts of celebrations !

Hi Everyone,

Last Friday I was in Portsmouth, NH and was looking for restaurants that I had not been to yet, and saw Surf Seafood Restaurant, not many hours earlier I had a delicious lobster roll, just wanted to check it out, and it was quite busy, but the outside dining was limited with just 3 or 4 tables, but eating inside there is a very nice view of the ocean.

Checked out Surf on Yelp and a lot of 5 star reviews, I would say a large percentage of dinners were very pleased with their meal, a lot of positive comments !

Hi Everyone,

Took the day off today was going to go to Portland, Maine but on the way up decided to go to Kennebunkport and let a lobster roll at The Clam Shack located on the bridge, that was a good call, one of the best lobster rolls I have had, served on a bakery roll made locally, the waitress suggested I have both butter and mayo, Soo Good. They do have a full menu with clams and lots of other goodies.

The Clam Shack goes back to 1968, and in the past few years has had a lot of publicity, featured in Food & Wine Magazine, USA Today, Cooking Channel, Forbes and many othe news outlets.

Weather you want a lobster roll or a lobster dinner, maybe clams or other items on their menu, it is worth the drive and there are many shops, and many tourist events in the area, the traffic can be hectic, but if you get an early start, not so bad. If you can get away and go mid week even better.

​Interesting website, go to: theclamshack.net

​PS. Everything is Fresh !
