American Restaurants in New Hampshire

When Guy Fieri’s red Camaro rolled into the Granite State, he discovered a small but mighty collection of American culinary gems that prove New Hampshire punches well above its weight. Between 2016 and 2022, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured three standout restaurants, all still serving up flavor-packed dishes to hungry locals and visitors alike.

Portsmouth emerges as the state’s undisputed flavor capital, home to two of the three featured spots. Leading the pack is Moxy, earning an impressive 4.6-star rating with creative American fare that caught Guy’s attention. Just down the road, The Kitchen holds its own at 4.5 stars, while up in the White Mountains, Barley & Salt Tap House and Kitchen in North Conway rounds out the trio with solid 4.3-star reviews.

With an average rating of 4.5 stars across all three establishments and a perfect track record of staying open, New Hampshire’s DDD destinations offer a testament to quality American cooking in New England’s hidden corner. These aren’t just restaurants—they’re flavor destinations worth the drive.
