I had higher expectations but it was still a nice relaxing ride. 70% of the time was spent riding through a wall of trees and towns. When you enter the train, for best views sit on left side. Once it did open up, the views were great. Definitely consider a fall ride during peak for the best color.

We were so excited to take the scenic railroad train ride. Cut out a scenic drive in the national park to make the trip. The train car was really cool and built in 1923 very detailed features and use to be a passenger train from new Jersey to Manhattan. The ride was smooth and relaxing with the sun coming through all the windows. The scenic views were sub par from construction zones, neighborhoods, junky back yards, businesses, a corn field and one nice view of a mountain range with soccer goals all in front of it. Very disappointed from what was described on the website to what was actually delivered. Maybe the 4hr trip is better but the 1hr was just a train ride without the scenic views. I will say everyone was nice and polite and the car was exceptionally clean. Adding pictures of the #view of your doing the 1hr to save your time.

This is a wonderful opportunity to see the changing colors in the fall. However, I recommend that you do NOT reserve the dome car which has the most expensive seats. The dome and windows are not clean and are tinted so you can not get pics. In addition, we were freezing as there is no heat and the seats appear short than in the main cars. Four hours is a long ride to see more ‘of the Same’. I might recommend a shorter, less expensive option.

We had a really enjoyable experience. We travelled in Dome class which does give you better views. The trees along the track obscure much of the views so you really have to enjoy the journey itself. It is quite an expensive activity so you really have to like riding a train. I feel like they could have made the experience more valuable with a complimentary drink and snack. There is a snack bar on board but queues are long. Overall we are glad we did the journey but I wouldn’t repeat it

We took a 1-hour ride to celebrate our anniversary and had a lovely time! We bought first-class tickets and had the car entirely to ourselves (on an August Sunday). The views were lovely, the seats and car were comfortable (and the A/C had no trouble keeping up with the August heat), and we had a delightful time. For the first half of the trip there was a pre-recorded narration of the sights coming up (in a soothing Mr. Rogers–style voice — we felt like he liked us just the way we are!), which helped me get in position for photos. The second half of the trip (coming back along the same track) had no narration. Probably not good for small children with limited attention spans, but a delightful, relaxing experience for adults who like scenery and history. One thing to watch out for: We did not allow for the dense traffic we experienced on our way to the station, and we ended up being the last people aboard and had to scramble to get our boarding passes. In general, traffic in the area during the summer was a lot thicker and slower than I expected. (Since we were the only people in the first-class car, though, it didn’t matter that we were the last ones aboard.) There were a few fun historical exhibits in the station; it's worth taking the time before or after your ride to check those out.

Riding the Conway Scenic Railroad was a truly unforgettable experience like stepping back in time while gliding through some of New Hampshire’s most breathtaking landscapes. The vintage train cars were beautifully restored, and the ride itself was smooth, peaceful, and full of charm. As we traveled through lush forests and over scenic bridges, the fall colors were absolutely stunning, making every moment feel like a moving postcard. The staff were incredibly friendly and shared fascinating local history throughout the journey, adding depth to the views outside the window. Whether you're a train enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing and scenic escape, this ride is a perfect blend of nostalgia, nature, and New England charm.

We rode the scenic railway at the beginning of October. Overall it was a disappointing experience. We chose the dome class for the best views. Unfortunately the windows were filthy so it wasn’t possible to get good photographs. A lot of the journey is through trees and woodland so the views aren’t great. It does open up towards the end so you can enjoy the scenery. It is expensive for what it is. The ticket collection was confusing, we queued for a long time to board the train and were directed to the wrong carriage. This process could have been better organised . If you love trains it’s worth doing otherwise you’re see more driving around.

Beautiful little state park with a small entrance fee. We hiked Bryce trail up to Cathedral ledges. It was an intense uphill in several spots. Would recommend a hiking stick for older knees. Fantastic views. Found out you can drive up also once we got there. We didn't make it over to the White horse ledges, but I assume it's similar views.

This place made me feel like a pro hiker. I went there with my husband and we are supposed to be walking around the lake but then we end up climbing to the top of White horse Ledge. And take not I am not a hiker I am just a beginner but it’s worth it. Maybe they have to make the trail signs more clearer as we almost got lost because some trees fell down and it made us confused. But aside from that we made it to the top.

Great for kids, beautiful park. Sun and shade. Picnic tables, grills, handicap accessible. Great views of cathedral ledge and mountain climbers climbing up it. Bring binoculars! And enjoy the day.

Beautiful lake with the backdrop of hill. We went on a windy day yet had a lot of fun. There is place to grill, so BYO grilling stuff. No wood burning is permitted. It is trash in and trash out so I suggest brining trash bags if you are picnicking. Bring hiking shoes as the hiking is steep.

What a beautiful spot! You have to make a reservation on the holiday weekends at least. I pulled the car over and was able to get in that day. You can fish here - my son didn't catch anything but we were only there for an hour. It's a picture perfect place. Cost us 11$ for two adults and one child. They have clean restroo.s and even a gift shop! All the staff were extremely friendly which added to our great time!

Very nice lake to take the kids to swim. Unfortunately, it’s useless to try and fish there. Spent 5 hours with not even a bite. As we were leaving, the guard explained that it is no longer stocked and is spring fed which is not a place you can trout fish. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful view.

I feel weird rating a park 4 stars, because I know how hard people (employees as well as volunteers) work to keep trails clear, clean, etc. We hiked the white horse ledge trail and it was a great hike, great views. I wish it was better marked, we took a few wrong turns from the start and had to really keep a close watch for the next blaze. I also wish someone could relocate the bee's nest on the trail, or perhaps just mark it well and provide a way around it. I got stung a half dozen times before we got past it, and my dog too.

Parking is in an open gravel parking lot. There is a box at the entry to the trail where you pay through honor system. Restrooms are located at the entry too. Nice hike through lush forest next to the stream. There are small ponds and waterfalls past Diana's Bath. Hiking trail is not easy but less than an intermediate-level hike for some parts.

Outstanding marvel of nature! We spent a ton of time here, when the water level is low you can climb on the rocks. We climbed to the top. In the summer you can get refreshed by the cold waterfalls. Just be very careful as the rocks are worn smooth and are slippery even when dry.

We we're looking for a little walk with a 'reward' at the end and this place didn't disappoint. A really nice cool walk through the trees to Diana's Bath and the relaxing sound of running water. We used our America The Beautiful pass for free parking too.

There wasn't much water due to the drought we've been having, but there were still small water streams and not having as much water allowed us to explore on the rocks a little more which was cool. Definitely want to visit again when we're not in a drought.

Great place for a family friendly experience. Just be cautious of climbing on the rocks, it can be slippery. Very scenic and beautiful rock formations with waterfalls. Nice place to picnic but get there early because it's a popular attraction

It's a short easy hike which leads to a great many rocky steps which sends water cascading down into a plethora of pools. Great place to run around without too many sharp ledges to worry about. Always take care where the rocks look wet, of course! A few brief downsides: when we went there around early afternoon, it did take awhile to get into the parking lot. It's a very popular place! Also, the bathroom was a pig style (and smelled worse than one...)

A past time we have been enjoying with family every year since 1998! Such an iconic spot. The rainfall for the year determines how beautiful the falls will be. Easy half a mile walk to the falls then climb the rocks yourself or with your kiddos, grandkids and pups. Bring water or hiking shoes with you. Last but not least, get there before 8:30 because the line backs up out the entrance.

We visited on a weekday noon, but the place still had a fair patronage. Delaney' has bar section and a dining section. We were in the dining section as we went with there for lunch. The food serving size and quality was great. The salad was very well done and so was the pizza. The fish could have been better perhaps. But then I tend to favour the British batter for the fish. The Guinness pour was spot on too. The staff was courteous and serving was great. Almost to the level of what we are used to in Asia. I Highly Recommend fir good and drinks, if you happen to be in that area.

Delaney’s Hole In the Wall offers a surprisingly diverse menu in a cozy, mountain-themed setting. While the restaurant serves sushi and other Japanese-inspired options, the menu expands far beyond that, giving everyone something to enjoy. The dishes we tried were flavorful and well-prepared — definitely above expectations for a casual local spot. The interior is warm and character-rich, decorated with ski memorabilia, snow gear, and old mountain photographs that tie into the local alpine spirit. It feels both nostalgic and lived-in, with a charm that reflects the region’s outdoor culture. Service started on a slightly off note — the man who greeted us wasn’t particularly warm, which left a bit of a first-impression dent. However, once seated, the rest of the staff were attentive and friendly, and the overall experience was pleasant. The food and smooth service more than made up for the less-than-enthusiastic welcome. If you’re in the area, it’s a solid place to stop for a hearty meal in a setting that blends comfort with a touch of local mountain history.

We chose this place for our lunch during the trip in North Conway. Loved their Lobster Rolls and Clam Chowder! I was skeptical when reading some of the reviews for this dish. Yet, I decided to try it anyway, because why not! Best decision I said. Fresh and juicy Maine lobster with perfect dressing (oh and generous portion, too!) as well as creamy and well-seasoned clam chowder. The service was good also.

DELICIOUS FOOD at a reasonable price point! Really cozy setting, with friendly and understanding wait-staff. Portion size was great. I ordered the Smokey Mountain burger which was mouth wateringly delicious - cannot recommend that enough. Fries came with the burgers but could be substituted for a range of sides including (from memory) sweet potato fries, salad and soup, butternut squash, or green beans (some at an additional cost). Only downside was that there was a little bit of a wait (~20min) even outside of usual lunch hours but just goes to show how popular they are!

This restaurant was established in 1994 and offers pub and comfort fare. We read the reviews and decided to stop in for lunch. The menu was vast and the interior was cozy. The service was great. I had a couple of drinks which were made well. One was essentially a spiked Arnold Palmer, delicious. We had Philadelphia sushi roll for an appetizer, random but fresh and delicious. Then I saw another patron eating wings so I was influenced. Those wings were so good! Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My family also enjoyed their meals. I definitely recommend this spot!

This place was awesome. Food - delicious. Service - great. Atmosphere - really, really nice. The Shrimp Po Boy was the best. I loved it. Definitely worth going out of your way to go here. Definitely. We ended up 25 minutes out of our way and would do it all over again.

Wow. First time here and we were thrown off that there was sushi on the menu but it was GREAT and I would recommend it to anyone spending time in this part of NH. Deff a repeat place for us. GREAT service, great sushi, avalanche pizza, and Texas tornado sando. Food and service was top notch.

We had a great experience at Moat Mountain Smokehouse & Brewing Co. Our server, Buzz B., was friendly and attentive, which made the meal even better. We started with the BBQ chicken wings and pulled pork sliders—both packed with flavor—and the Cajun fries were the perfect side. My husband ordered the meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes and squash, a dish that’s been highlighted in reviews, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. Highly recommend!

This place is one of my absolute favorite spots, especially in the summer. I come here all the time with my dog, Rosie, and they treat her like part of the family. The staff is incredible — so friendly, kind, and genuine. Today when we stopped in, they even made Rosie her very own burger! She loved it, and it completely made my day. The food is always fantastic, the people are awesome, and the atmosphere is warm, family-friendly, and fun. You can tell everyone who works here really cares about their customers. Rosie and I will keep coming back — they’re simply the best! 🐾🍔❤️

After a one week trip to Portland, Acadia, and NH's White Mountains, we chose to eat two dinners (Tues and Thurs) at Moat Mtn Smokehouse. BOTH dinners we ordered a single entree of bbq meatloaf with mashed taters, mashed butternut squash, and green beans, with a side of their tangy/spicy (for New England) Brussels sprouts between two of us and had more than enough. And we picked up a 4 pack of Moat Mtn Opa's Oktoberfest Marzen. The food and beer were outstanding both nights. And this is from someone that has access to world-class Texas bbq in Houston. We got each meal to go to eat in our room, but the restaurant is located in a cool old historic home. I look forward to more epic meatloaf and sprouts (and of course hiking) on our next White Mtn trip.

We came here for the food! Very gluten conscious, well-labeled, and staff is knowledgeable (all sauces are GF). The ribs were excellent (we housed a full rack). The Santa Fe nachos were amazing. The kids menu was well portioned and was fully finished. They have gluten-free pizza. The beer selection was great. Wonderful server. Will definitely come again,

Whenever we’re in North Conway we always make sure we stop in here at least once usually twice. The beer is excellent. The flights have eight different beers to try. The barbecue meatloaf is the best anywhere. If you like meatloaf it’s a must try. Great chicken wings also. We really enjoyed the smoked turkey and green onion quesadilla. Good desserts as well. We always ask for Tate when we’re there. He’s a great server and a lot of fun. Highly recommend Moat Mountain Smokehouse & Brewing!

Stopped by MOAT Mountain Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Co. in North Conway, NH for a couple pints & a 20oz pour of something seasonal to kick off October. My first time here in a few years I was definitely due to return & check it out for my page. I remember getting a eight piece flight & a BBQ platter last visit, which was all sooo damn good. The place was bumping with the patio completely full & a busy dining room, luckily I was able to score a couple seats at the bar. This place has been in operation since 2000, making it the states oldest Brewpub going over twenty-five years now. I recently had their VALLEY PASTIME IPA during a tasting which was really good & have always been a huge fan of the blueberry fruit beer so I was looking forward to scooping one of those right from the tit. There was a good selection of styles on including lagers, pilsners, browns, IPA's & more, but I went mostly festive with my three beers this visit. 🍻🍻🔥☘🍁 I started off with a pint of the OPA'S OKTOBERFEST Marzen which was a above average, sweet Marzen that was super easy drinking. My second pint was the delicious MS V'S BLUEBERRY Fruit Beer, a favorite of mine anytime I've had it over the years. My third beer of the visit was a 20oz pour of the excellent OMA'S FEST BIER Marzen which was awesome & had a great smooth caramel finish, my favorite of the two seasonal beers I had. 🍻🍻🍻🍁🍁 The restaurant is really large inside with multiple dining rooms & a decently sized bar. There is all the seating options inside with tables, hightops, bar seating & a good size patio area outside. The staff at the bar were all really friendly & I ran into a couple regulars from my previous serving job in Manchester, NH a year or so ago which was nice. The decor inside is fun to look at & there is plenty on the walls to check out. The parking lot was packed, but was big enough to still have no problem getting a spot. There was plenty of beer to go for home or tastings with friends later. Overall a great return trip & I'm sure I'll be making my way back in a few years hopefully for some of that bomb BBQ & more new beers. Cheers! 🍻🔥☘🤘✌♥️🍺 BEERGASM RATING - 80/100 🍻🍻🍻🍆🍆🍆💦💦💦🔥🔥🔥☘☘☘🏆🤘✌♥️🍺 #craftbeer #supportlocal #beerstagram #BeerGoals #untappd #NewHampshire #newengland #newhampshireeats #beer #brewery #brewerylife #bartender #nhbrewed #nhbrewery #food #foodporn #beergasm #foodgasm #drinklocal #eatlocal #wildweekend #burger #IPA #lager #Massachusetts #Vermont #Connecticut #RhodeIsland #Maine #restaurant

Great place for dining and for discovering awesome craft beers. I was getting serious FOMO from the massive beer list; I wanted to try them all! I decided to go for the Scottie's IPA and did not regret it + even took home a four pack. Our waiter Buzz deserves a special mention: he was always very friendly and helpful and jolly. We were looking for healthy options to dine with and we were not disappointed. Highly recommend the spinach salad, flatbread with hummus and veggies and especially the Brussels sprouts!

My wife and I stopped for a quick bite to eat. The ambience is nice and the service was incredibly fast. There’s no doubt this place gets busy during peak season. We enjoyed the Spinach Dip and Turkey Wrap. One of our favorite spots to stop while in North Conway.

My husband and I went to North Conway for our anniversary. Food is my number one thing I want when away! Everyone we talked to highly recommended the muddy moose. We went Friday and Saturday because it was sooo good! The steak was amazing. The chicken Caesar salad also so good. We can’t wait to be back!

I’ll start with the pros… the staff is friendly and the place is clean. Unfortunately, they miss the mark with the actual food, which is probably the most average to mediocre food we’ve had in a very long time. We really can’t think of a single item that was worth eating. We started with wings as we had been craving some good, crispy buffalo wings. I guess what we got would pass as wings… flabby wings without even a hint of crispness. They were fatty and the sauce maybe had a hint of buffalo flavor but mostly it was just greasy, as though the kitchen staff has never been taught to drain fried foods before serving. The carrots/celery served with the wings were sopping wet, which didn’t help. Ah well, we had higher hopes for our meals, but we were clearly too optimistic as those were not better at all. We got the bbq bacon burger which wasn’t even half eaten because again, the bbq sauce felt and tasted like grease. We also got the bbq chicken bacon sandwich and all that was eaten was the chicken because- you guessed it- everything tasted like grease. Also, how is any restaurant worth its merit sending out burgers and chicken sandwiches on ungrilled buns? I can honestly say that the only enjoyable part of the meal was the pickle that came with the sandwiches. I really don’t know how this place stays in business, but $80 for awful wings and sandwiches (most of which was thrown away) is infuriating. It says to me that the owners don’t care about putting out a quality product and just figure they can overcharge for garbage food because it’s a tourist area. Do yourself favor and don’t waste your money here - you’re better off at McDonald’s.

Muddy Moose is another well known restaurant in the North Conway area. We decided to stop in for lunch. They designed it to look like a cabin. They had a large menu and so many food items to choose from. The service was good and it seemed pretty kid friendly. I started off with a drink that was like a mudslide which was good. For my meal, I had a rack of ribs and mashed potatoes; the ribs were tender and hearty. My family also enjoyed their meals. If you're in the area, definitely worth a stop.

Muddy Moose - North Conway, NH This place was just down from where we stayed, parking lot always seemed full so we stopped for lunch. We ordered spinach and artichoke dip to start, it came with nacho chips. It was OK, but definitely had better. I ordered Camp counselors chicken - grilled chicken breast brushed with orange citrus glaze and topped with pineapple mango salsa. Comes with vegetable and choice of rice or potato. I selected baked potato. The vegetable served with both meals was squash. The meal was good and filling. I couldn't finish it, especially after having the appetizer. I did find the orange glaze was a bit strong so it overpowered the salsa. My son had Jake's teriyaki salmon. He selected rice for his side. It also came with sesame ginger slaw, which was under the salmon. He really enjoyed his meal. He preferred his over mine. Not sure why we thought dessert was a good idea, but we ordered a slice of Paradise chocolate cake. I did have just a small bite to try it but I dont care for cake, so my son was on his own finishing this. Needless to say we relaxed for a few hours after all this food. Lol. I would go here again but probably try other menu items. It is a cute spot and the service was good.

Good pub food and an awesome staff. Sitting outside on the deck is nice when weather permits as it's usually very loud inside. There is no view of the mountain range, but it's still a good spot for a bite. We had a key lime encrusted haddock and a cheddar cheeseburger with sweet potato fries.

The place was busy but we did not wait for seating. There was a lot of room and the decor was very interesting. The wait staff was great. Place was nice and clean

First time at Wicked Fresh Craft Burgers and tried the Waffle Hangry Burger — amazing flavor and super fresh. Fun twist with the waffle, and it totally worked. Can’t wait to go back!

What a treat while on vacation! As someone with celiac’s I am very weary of food joints like this but I felt very safe and well taken care of here. Was craving some nuggets and got this plate. It was fried well and was crunchy. Would go back again. They do offer gluten free buns for a charge but it’s worth it. They handle allergies extremely well just let them know when ordering! Prices were reasonable. Please know it is a small place with seating outside. We went on a Thursday afternoon and found seating but it is not always the case.

We visit North Conway every October and always look forward to Wicked Fresh. Staff are always so friendly and chatty. Food is so delicious. They offer gluten free buns and dairy free cheese which is something I haven't come across before. They have so many choices for sauces. My favorite is the Sriracha Maple and I always get a side of the bacon jam! Husband is not gluten free or dairy free and also loves the burgers and fries here. So grateful we found this place!

After hiking Mount Washington, we stopped in North Conway for dinner and found Wicked Fresh Craft Burgers on the Find Me Gluten Free app for my younger sister who has celiac. They have amazing gluten-free options—burgers are cooked on a separate grill, and the fries and chicken are 100% gluten-free. My sister said it was one of the best meals she’s had since going gluten-free. The gluten free bun held together perfectly, the nuggets were crispy and flavorful, and the sauces were great too. The owner and staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome. We were also happy to see there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend for anyone looking for safe and delicious GF food!

Either I was starving from a day of hiking or this was one of the best burgers I've ever had! The pickles on my burger were very good! I loved the Wicked sauce and I definitely recommend trying the Maple Honey Sriracha sauce for your fries. That stuff would be amazing with sweet Potato fries! Definitely recommend you give this place a try!

Found this on google maps while looking for a place to have dinner. The freshly crafted burgers are juicy, generous with bacon and plenty of their own Wicked Fresh sauces. We ordered the Fun gi burger (bacon, mushroom, beef patty) and their Special burger of the week (Fried Chicken, bacon)! They have restored my original faith in good burgers. You should not miss this place if you're passing by Conway.

I just had the best smash burger EVER! The beef was fresh, tasty and cooked to juicy perfection! The veggies were fresh and crisp and reminiscent of garden fresh. The Fun-Gi burger didn’t disappoint and the Wicked Burger (on which I subbed the lime-cilantro mayo in place of the Wicked Sauce) was outstanding! The burgers are big, the rolls are fresh, and the fries are fresh and perfectly fried. Spoiler Alert: the fries come loaded as well. Think Buffalo Chicken, etc. Wicked also serves up fried chicken dishes, Kobe Beef hot gigs, and fresh-made shakes. The prices are fair, the staff is top notch (especially Dan Curry on the grill), and the decor is spot-on. Run, don’t walk to Wicked and stuff your face with the best burger known to man, woman, and/or child.

Before I say anything about the food, I would like to compliment the staff. I didn't get to catch her name, but the hostess was very welcoming and friendly. My waitress, Annie, was awesome. She was very invested, making sure I had everything I needed, and she had every answer to the countless number of questions I had. Great staff! I had the build-your-own steak burger and the Freeport, Maine local draft. The burger was cooked exactly how I asked, along with fresh-tasting fries. The beer was a great choice as well, thanks to Annie's help. Great job, and thank you to the folks in the kitchen who prepared the meal as well!

My recent visit to this restaurant was a true highlight! The Maine lobster roll was a revelation – fresh, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly delicious. Equally impressive was the Pulled Lamb and Rocket Melt sandwich, which offered a wonderful blend of savory flavors and textures. I also thoroughly enjoyed the North Atlantic Haddock with crab, a dish that was both flaky and wonderfully flavorful. Beyond the exceptional food, the restaurant offers a fantastic ambiance, making it a great spot to relax and savor the experience. Our waiter was attentive and genuinely helpful, enhancing an already perfect meal. I can't wait to return!

Food was pretty good (love me some high lawn alpina!) but the desserts were inspired and delicious.

Duck poutine, amazing! Crab cakes, not good. Pulled pork bao buns, wonderful! Pulled lamb with rockets, not good. Drinks were lovely!

The staff and atmosphere was A++ the food was good but for the prices they are charging I expected more. I got the Wagyu Steak and Frites. Definitely not Wagyu steak but it was good but not great or fantastic especially for $39. The appetizer chicken wings where not special and a little over cooked. Again great atmosphere and staff but the food is mid.

Had such potential, poor execution of great menu items. First, our server Matt was extremely friendly , attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic to serve us. Wings were burnt (sauce was good), crab cakes were too "bready", duck routine was tasty but dry- no gravy? Harvest soup was bitter and very small serving size- I actually added carrots and corn from side dishes, and lots of salt and pepper. All orders of fries were cold. Cocktails, shrimp tacos , pastrami Sammy, and cocktails were good. If not for the great service, would have been totally disappointed.

Bartender and waitresses where awesome. Food was top notch. The pot stickers are awesome, wings good, sirloin was cooked perfectly. I only downgraded because the greeter person was not the most welcoming person, but the staff more than made up for it. Great place
