We often get the question, "Where can I find great Mexican food in NH?", or "Where's the best BBQ place?".
There's lots of great food places in NH. Will the burritos be as good as your favorite burrito spot in San Diego? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We'll let you be the judge. The places listed here were deemed good enough for someone to take the time to type an entry.
Wings
BBQ
NH has some surprisingly good BBQ (for what little exists, remember it's New England), here are some ones to try:
Goody Cole's Smokehouse
Great BBQ. Some free staters say "the best", others disagree. But the one thing everyone agrees is "it's damn good".
Smokehaus
No BBQ debate or conversation will be taken seriously unless Smokehaus is mentioned as a top contender. Their brisket is good -- really good. Be sure to check the board to the right of the cashier because they always have specials worth checking out. If you're lucky enough to be there when they're offering brisket chili, don't be dumb and not order it.
Traveling Texas Smoke Shop
Rubbin Butts BBQ
KC's Rib Shack
Diners
Puritan Backroom
One of the oldest restaurants in New Hampshire, Puritan Backroom invented the fried chicken tender and mudslides. Many say it's got the best fried chicken tenders.
Chez Vachon
French Canadian food. Huge portions for an affordable price. They have a banana bread French toast that is to die for.
99s
You're not a Granite Stater until you've been to 99s. Hell, you're not a New Englander until you've been to 99s. The steak tips are good.
Roundabout Diner
Pub/Bar food
Industry East
Portsmouth Gas Light Co.
Seafood
Jumpin' Jay's Fish Cafe
Weathervane
Surf
Burgers
Wild Willy's Burgers
This burger place offers burgers, angus burgers, and fancy bison burgers. They also do frappes (New England term for "milkshake").
Lexie's - Peace Love Burgers
Pizza
Alley Cat Pizzeria

Nik and Charlies
Located in Greenland, Nik & Charlie's passes the grease test when it comes to high-quality pizza.
G & P Pizzeria
Located in Chester, G & P Pizzeria's alfredo sauce is basically boiled cream but their pizzas are great and the maple pizza is decadent and amazing.
Plus when King Sununu told all the restaurants to contact trace G&P dug out some kids old stained spiral notebook and told their customers "sign it or don't, we don't care".
Ramunto's Brick Oven Pizza
Luigi's West End Pizzeria
White Lake Pizza
Tilton House of Pizza
This is a good place to go if you like really stringy mozzarella.
Elm House of Pizza
Wakefield House of Pizza
Located in downtown Wakefield, this place may not look impressive but their pizza will knock your socks off.
Bistros, Tavern and Tapas food
I'm lazy so I'm just going to group all of these into one category
Moxy
Black Trumpet
The Oak House
Italian
Tuscan Market
Valentino's Italian Cafe
Mexican
"Wait, NH has good Mexican food?!", you gasp. Yes, it's true. Check out these spots for your Mexican food fix:
Vida Cantina
Pan Caribbean
Since a lot of Carribean cuisines tend to have similar range of foods we'll just make it it's own category (similar range of African and Indian influences). Anything from Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, Barbados, Saint Vincent etc will go here. (Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican and just food with origins from Latino countries will go in it's own category)
Indian Food
Himalayan Curry House
Asian Cuisine
This will crisscross over various different East and Southeast Asian cuisines that people *tend* to serve together. (Yes, we are aware that Asia is bigger than that, no we don't care)
Euphoria Gourmet Vietnam

Kisaki Japanese Cuisine
Gorham Dynasty Buffet

Ice Cream
People in NH love ice cream. Makes total sense considering it's freezing and snpowng half the year.
RoseLynn Ice Cream
If you are into ice-cream, Roselynn in Epping makes their own, and were very vocal against snusnu for the lockdowns, even snubbing them and taking donations for their free breakfasts. Freshly made bread and muffins also
