As far as rest stops go, this is by far one of the best. Try the maple syrup flavored iced coffee. No idea what they call it but it's good.

Grabbed a quick Cider Donut for an early breakfast. The General Store, fuel island, and bathrooms are 24/7.

Breakfast bar opens at 6am and the Candy Store opens at 10am. Plenty to choose from and very reasonable prices.

Rest rooms were VERY clean.

Really busy Friday evening @ 6:30. Gas station busy, at least 200 in the building in the restaurants and eating in the middle sitting area. Huge discount liquor store on the other side.

Food was yummy, drinks amazing, and atmosphere was really nice! First time here and very happy we stopped! Thank you!

Say what you will about travel centers, but this place is the bomb! Hot and fresh homemade food of all kinds. The food is great, and the staff are friendly. Stop by the liquor store on your way out for tax free spirits!!

Very easy to pull into from off the highway. The greeting center offers much NH information. Inside stores include a League of NH Craftsman store, diner, deli, ice cream and convince store as well as a bank . The bathrooms are very clean and have a changing table. The center has a ton of gas pumps and a place to charge your car. A New Hampshire liquor store is located here too. Please note that there is an exact rest area located across the other side of the highway.

realllllyyy nice spot!! the prices are good too!! 6 bucks for 3 scoops of ice cream?? yessir!!!! there are many many unique things there too, like huge pillows of popcorn and large rows of jelly bean dispensers. totally go here!!

also the bathroom urinals had big tall dividers between which is veryyyy nice

Simply one of the best service plazas you can go to. Food is very good -- all made to order and of high quality. Doesn't hurt that the NH Liquor Store has a great selection and good prices, too.

A must do. Everything was wonderful. Great diner, wish it was closer to home!!

What a neat little rest stop. Cute country store with a variety of foods both hot and cold. They have vending machines, places to eat, and wicked clean rest rooms.
We had gone thru the toll just before the stop and a kind Live Free of Die guy paid our toll! Talk about a welcome!
Cute little Apple Cider Doughnut shop with a face in the photo moose and bear near by.
Staff were super friendly and helpful without any pressure. Across the street is the wine and liquor store for those who want a low cost booze return.
My wife slept thru the entire stop and I was able to have a smoke before jumping in the car.
Gotta say, this was a cute first stop in New Hampshire!

I've eaten here before in the past &wow they've got some AMAZING options here! I had an apple fig grilled cheese & it was one of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever had! I travel from the South Shore of MA to my parents Lake house in Danbury NH&always love stopping here, weather it's for Lunch, a snack or a carton of cigarettes. The atmosphere is nice, stores are spread out in different areas of the rest stop & its a great place to stop in at & take a break from driving! The general store has such cute LiL NH gifts/trinkets/stickers&magnets you can put on your car. I am ObSeSSeD with fishing & bought a few smaller fish/fishing stickers here the Last time I stopped here! &almost forgot to mention, The Common Man has BOMB cherry&blueberry danishes - a MUST TRY! not kidding get one if you ever stop here!

If you're visiting New Hampshire, you must stop here. Grab snacks and liquor. State run liquor store and close on Sundays and limits locations and hours.

Awesome rest stop. Clean lots of good food options. Has a family atmosphere. Try the homemade potato chips. We grab at least 3 bags each time we stop. Reasonable prices for a rest stop.

Great spot with a huge selection , always fresh and lives up to the local name. These places have succeeded for a reason and the reason is the consistency of great food and great products.

Very friendly staff. They have a large menu but it all looks good! I had the personal margarita pizza. It was made to order and cooked very quickly but it was fresh and absolutely delicious. This rest area was just going to be a place to park overnight but turned out to be a super cool place to stop. They have so much more then just for here too so I'd highly recommend stopping in!

Pretty good food for a rest stop essentially. Fries and pizza are awesome, always stop in when I'm traveling through the area and need a quick and consistent bite to eat.

My husband brought me several donuts home to try & they where Delicious 😍 oh man! You haven’t had a good donut until you’ve had one from here, there donuts are a gold mine. It’s the Apple cider donut with a hot cup of coffee for me 😍🍩⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Got a few coffees, an amazing glazed donut. Great service and wonderfully unique products. Located at the rest area but feels like it could be placed in any country New England town.

Love the rest area and diner. Actually working from there today and grabbing an insanely good burger. Fresh everything and excellent, fresh made chips
