First last time for me. My boyfriend and I went here for dinner and was very disappointed. He ordered a meatloaf and I ordered a baked scrod. Pretty basic dishes and they couldn't do it right. His meatloaf had carrots in them and he does not like carrots (not the place's fault that he doesn't like carrots but no where on the menu does it state carrots). He couldn't eat around it because every bite has carrots. My dish was overcooked, so my baked scrod was hard and rubbery. We both took one bite and was done. Waiter doesn't seem to care that we didn't eat our meal. I was hoping he would ask why but he didn't. Drinks were OK... Overall it was a bad experience for us.
Review Source:We came here for a few brewskis and dinner after a long day of zip-lining at alpine adventures. We checked in with the hostess for outdoor seating and waited about 45 minutes at the bar. We started noticing how people who were coming in after us were getting seated before us. So I finally brought it to their attention and they must've crossed us off the list without seating us first! ... :(
I know mistakes happen, but we were pretty frustrated and hungry at the time. We both ordered burgers. They tasted like they were definitely frozen and the blooming onion wasn't cooked all the way. We noticed the wet-uncooked batter and sorta just pushed the appetizer to the side.
The staff was friendly, the prices weren't bad. The one big highlight would have to be the beer. (Even though none of their seasonal beer was in stock...).
I'd give it a try if you're in the area. Hopefully they were just having an "off day" when we went.
Great menu and great beer!
The menu was so large I more time than usual trying to figure out what I wanted to eat! Â I finally settled on a Hawaiian Burger and a beer sampler. Â The burger was huge and excellent! Â The beer sampler included five (my choice) 3 oz beers for $5.25!!!!
Definitely check this place out if you're in the area!
What an enormous menu!!! I feel inspired!
They've got that small town feel to the place - lots of interesting accessories, moose, phone booth, old pictures. You can feel that this place has been loved. But the food is not small town - I mean there are a remarkable number of meatloaf plates to choose from, but the calomari was fantastic (which I didin't not expect in rural NH).
Plus the beer was fantastic - definitely my go-to place when up in the whites!
After snowmobiling on a GREAT tour, this restaurant was high recommended for half priced apps. And homemade brews. Â We were seated and just as we were getting settled, were informed that the apps were only half-priced in the bar. Â We moved to the bar (which was quite busy) and sat at a tight-fitting space with our backs to the bar where we were unable to converse. Â As a table nearby opened up, we moved there to enjoy out drinks/converse over dinner. Â We were VERY rudely informed but an EXTREMELY UNPLEASANT server that it was HER section and others had been waiting. Â As visitors, hours away from home, we were looking for a comfortable place to enjoy a couple drinks and a nice meal and we walked out to find that elsewhere.
Review Source:My wife and I stayed at the Inn so naturally we went to check out the restaurant and brewery. We tried dinner there saturday night and were really let down. The ribs were probably the worst I've ever had, very tough and very little meat. My wife had the prime rib which was pretty lack luster. They were SLAMMED the night we were there though so maybe they were just over whelmed... still. We had out complimentary breakfast there the next morning and it was very good, but it did take quite a while. I recommend the Womlette, a delicious omlette baked on top of a waffle. It was different and awesome. If you're not in a hurry check them out for breakfast.
Review Source:This is a review for both lodging and restaurant/bar.
Looking for a last minute winter weekend away I stumbled upon Woodstock Station. Â I asked the husband if he had ever heard of this place and he instantly said "Book it, I've been there and it's awesome." Â $325 for two night including breakfast didn't break the bank and I liked that I got to pick the exact room that we'd be staying in.
After spending 48 hours at Woodstock Station & Brewery, I can honestly say I am a huge fan of this place. The room was bigger than I had pictured, the staff was awesome, and the food was really fantastic. Â We only left this place for 3 hours on Saturday to head over to the craziness of Loon Mountain and all we wanted to do was come back to our hotel. Â
Room: Â Zealand room - full of doilies - we joked it should've been called the Doily Room. Â But it had plenty of space and a separate sitting area.
Location: Â Wonderful. Â Right off 93 and many little shops around (including a gas station which also has beer tastings).
Food: Â Breakfast was stellar. Â Try the whiskey blueberry pancakes and get a few extra stick buns. Â Lunch was good - pretty standard but still tasty. Â Dinner was very good, steaks done to perfection. Â Oh, and at 1:00am I told the bartender I was drunk and hungry and he said I had my choice of turkey, ham, or chicken salad. Â If you know me, you know that I just about screamed with excitement because all I ever want to eat is chicken salad (I even have a yelp list dedicated to it). Â Even though I was drunk, I can tell you that chicken salad was one of the best sandwiches ever.
Bar: Â This place gets crowded! Â Like seriously packed - try to get there a little early to stake out your spot. Â Great beer and a live band... you don't get better than that.
Staff: Â The best. Â Everyone was so friendly and we even made friends with some of the staff. Â That never happens.
I will also say that I've never met a more friendly bunch of hotel guests. Â We met a ton of cool people up from Boston and ended up closing out the bar with them both nights. Â It was all in all such a great weekend getaway. Â I highly recommend you checking out the Woodstock Station and Brewery... I can't wait to go back this summer.
My boyfriend and I went up to Lincoln this past weekend. The three days we were up there, we came here. First night we had dinner and some drinks. I got the spicy mac & cheese, which was pretty good. Not the best, but definitely not the worst. My boyfriend got the pulled pork sandwich and he seemed to have enjoyed it. The beers were the best part. They have a sampler where you get 5 or 7 little glasses of beer. They were all good, especially the Oatmeal Stout.
The only problem I had with my first night was the waitress. Not like she was bad or anything, but she definitely paid no mind to what I was really saying. She paid more attention to my boyfriend and would just talk to him. If she ever reads this, or if someone who works with her ever reads this, here's a helpful tip, STOP FLIRTING WITH GUESTS' SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. It's classless.
Any who, back to the good stuff.
Every day at noon they have a tour of the brewery. It's a little tour, but you still learn a lot of stuff and it's really cool to see. The guy, Scott, who took us on our tour was very friendly and knew exactly what he was talking about.
My boyfriend and I also went to get breakfast our last morning we were there. The food was pretty good. I mean, it's breakfast food, you can't really mess it up and if you do, then you shouldn't be cooking at a restaurant. The only problem is is that my boyfriend has a dairy allergy (no, he's not lactose in tolerate. he will actually go into anaphylactic shock) and the bread and bagels that they use have dairy in it and the home fries are cooked in a garlic butter. So, he couldn't really eat anything.
All together, it's a great place to go and hang out, especially up in Lincoln, where there's not that many things to do at night.
In this town, this is the place to be and be seen. Â Not because it's one in a handful of places only, but because it's jumpin. Â
We tried the Mediterranean Melody, Nasty Nacho's, and Greek Salad. Â 4star pub food - a cut above standard fare. Â Particularly like the nachos and it's inclusion of my friend, pulled pork. Â A day in skiing mandates that as a meal alone. Â Didn't try any of the beers, but the selection did look appealing to any taste. Â
With its popularity, WS can get cramped. Â The bar is downstairs (which has tables) and the formal dining room (which operates as a separate restaurant, I believe) is upstairs. Â Follow your ear to the jutebox and soccer table below.
I dont rate many things at 5 star. This one is as close as I get without that elusive 5. Great atmosphere, always great to drink the beer AT the brewery, and (the only reason its not a 5 star) good food. The portions are big, the taste is good to great depending on what you get. Great nachos.
I live nearby and I will frequent this place :)
Cheers
During a recent trip to the White Mountains we stayed in North Woodstock and decided to give Woodstock Station a try. Â I was trying to find something on their menu that wasn't terribly unhealthy, so I tried the General Scott's Chicken. Wow. It was AWFUL. The "sauce" was this gelatinous mess that was overly sweet and there was WAY too much of it. I have never, in my entire life, told a server that I disliked my meal when they come up and ask how things are but I couldn't help myself. I just told him it was awful.
To our server's credit he asked several times if he could replace it with something else for me, but to be honest I thought if I asked for something else they might spit it in or something. I should have stuck with something they couldn't mess up too much like a burger. I wouldn't recommend this place.
Best beer in the world? No
Best food int he world? No
Does it matter? Â No
This is just a hip place, that cares about it's beer and it comes through. Â The regular flavors are fantastic, and the seasonals are worth waiting for. Â The food? Â Not their strong suit, but definitely tasty and expansive (too expansive?), but hell you're here for the view and beer anyways so suck it up.
Stopped by here recently while in the White Mountains for peak foliage around Columbus Day weekend. After 2 days of hiking and bushwhacking 40+ miles in attempt of the New England 100 Highest, I was at a bit of a calorie and protein deficit. Thusly, ordered the rack of ribs with homemade mashed potatoes and yams with gravy. In addition had a 20oz of 4000'er IPA. Total with tax came out to about 33$ but it was worth every penny.
Looks like they are renovating the place and the new bar area looks quite nice. I enjoyed eating at the bar and meeting a few people that were really nice. One of them let me borrow his Blackberry Charger as mine had ceased due to leaving it on while hiking (and it helplessly looking for radio).
This may be one of my new favorite NH restaurants. We didnt get there in time for the brewery tour (will do next time for sure)
The menu is HUGE and the portions are HUGE. Tons of different options to chose from. I had the seafood chowder and the Ham and Turkey open face sandwhich. The wife had the filet. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The beer was good too!
The Pemi Pale ale is great!
I look forward to returning when their expansion is completed.
The only negative comments I have is they didnt have a Pemi Pale Ale T-shirt in my size and our waiter was a little odd, I mean he provided us good service, but he had one of those personalities that was just bizzare, made you feel uncomfortable.
We've been here many times over the years and we keep coming back -- despite the fact that the place has become a madhouse during peak times. Best advice is to come early or late. Depending on the time of day, the predominate group may be older people, families, or young singles. There's a variety of places to sit, each providing a different experience: the expanded (and noisy) bar area, the main dining room, the downstairs dining room (built from the actual old Woodstock train station), the cute little Stationmaster's Office, the Clement Room (formerly a separate, more upscale dinner restaurant), and the relaxed outside patio. Â
There's a wide range of food types, and quality ranges from good to excellent. This is impressive for a place that tries to offer something for everyone. I'm addicted to the nachos, which are so large that I once ate the nachos for my dinner and took my main course home (figuring, correctly, that the main dish would come out better than the nachos when reheated). For our family, we're particularly grateful that they offer vegan options, including what they describe as "vegan certified" veggie burgers. (Most restaurants serve veggie burgers that include eggs or dairy, and ironically cannot be eaten by the very people who would want to order them!)
The series of connected buildings includes a microbrewery, and it's fun the first time to try a sampler of brews. Some are bottled and sold in NH Â stores, others are available only on site. My favorites for the moment are the refreshing Loon Golden Ale and the deeper Red Rack Ale.
I've never Yelp-reviewed a place partly for what I assume it must be like at a different time of year or even a different time of day, and I'm probably violating the Content Guidelines by doing so, but I've got to bump Woodstock Station up a good half-notch or so from the experience I actually had.
See, lunch on Sunday in August in these parts is a bit of a madhouse. Â It seems like half of New England, and three-quarters of New England families with small children, descend on a handful of towns in the White Mountains, and this is one of those towns. The Woodstock is a rustic old New England inn and brewpub. Â In cooler weather months, I can imagine it being quainter and darker and quieter, lit mostly by a giant fire in the fireplace. Â (In fact, this mental picture was supplied by the wife, who visited the Woodstock with our New Hampshire friends a few years back on a much cooler September day.) Â But on an August Sunday, it is chaotic and noisy, just like about every single other restuarant in the Whites.
The giant menu's got enough to satisfy just about any palate: Â steaks, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and more. Â "Fiery Frogs' Legs" were a surprisingly good appetizer, and burgers were massive and good enough. Â I can't remember what the price was for a flight of the brewpub's house brews, but it was reasonable and the beers were quite good, if a just a little on the flat side.
Great beer! Â The food was good, service ok. Â Good for dinner with the kids like us, or couples as they have a pub in the back with a stage for the band. Â Sounds fun, but we were with the kids....:/
Will definitely go back before we leave the area for "got beer?" t-shirt and growler for our neighbor.
Went for the brew tour and ended up staying for lunch. It was great.
First off they have free brew tours in which at the end you get to sample ALL of the beers on tap. Which, they give you a small mug but I am certain I tried no less than 8. They also passed out free beer bread they make themselves with the remnants of their brewing process. Also really nice to know they donate their used grain to farms in the area for feed and also purchase their meat from these farmers.
Their brewery at the moment is TINY. Although, on our trip we got to see the beginning structure of their expanded brewery which I am sure will be pretty epic.
Onto lunch, started off with poutine appetizer which I am not all that into but the SO really loves. It wasn't that it wasn't great, just not into gravy all that much.
For my meal I had an open faced deli melt with turkey and ham and who knows what else. The bread was crisp despite all the toppings.
Bartenders are friendly and the beer was superb. The tour was free. Probably the cheapest thing we did in Lincoln but still tops my list.
Finding food, when everyone is hungry and cranky from a great day of hiking in the White Mtns., is always a challenge. Finding food that doesn't make you ill shouldn't be so hard.
We waited 45 minutes at the bar for our table. As soon as we sat down a 12 top sat down next to us and we knew we were screwed... Our waitress was nice, but fairly slow to get even the basics (drinks, bread) in place. We ordered an assortment of dishes, starting with clam chowder and the mushroom appetizer. Both took too long, IMHO, to arrive. Little did we know how toxic the chowder would be the next day...
The rest of the food arrived years later. My calculation is that the Inn has far exceeded their kitchen's capacity, so while there are tons of tables, food is slow to come.My roast chicken was dry and bland. The wife's tuna steak sandwich was bland. My young son's chicken tenders were fine and my daughter's burger was fine as well. Hard to mess up a burger.
It always amazes me when the waitress disappears the moment you've decided that you're done with the meal and you want to leave ASAP. The meal was "meh" and we wanted to leave, but we were hostages in this weak excuse for a brew pub. Salt in the wound.
The worst part was my wife, my daughter, and I all experiencing a touch of food poisoning most of the night and all the next day. We'd all shared a spoon or two of the chowder and it cost us dearly. My son escaped unscathed - so-so chicken fingers kept him out of harms way.
Needless to say, I have no desire to return. We found a great pizza joint in Lincoln the following night and that helped make up for this dull experience.
Woodstock Inn brewery brews some delicious beers. Â The Pigs Ear brown ale and the stout are my two top favorites. Â They usually have at least one seasonal brew available. Â In the fall the maple porter is awesome. The summer ale is hoppy and more like an IPA than a pilsner or wheat. Â I've never taken the brewery tour but I plan on it some day in the future. Â i recommend stopping in the bar for a beer and a sampler and taking home a six pack if you are so inclined.
Review Source:Got in, ordered a burger and a grey goose with soda/lime. Waitstaff was slow to me, but sucked up to the local couple next to me like they were royalty. Note to anyone in the food business... Everyone is royalty.
Seeing this is the only food joint in town, they can treat their patrons like shit. Anyhow, they served the burger with uncooked french fries, the guacamole was old and brown, the green jalepeno was sliced, not chopped. The burger's meat was cooked on one side, not the other. Maybe this place gets 4 stars... Out of kindness.. But really.. Amateur hour
We loved eating at Woodstock station on our recent trip to Lincoln, NH. Â The staff was friendly and courteous. Â I had the best New England style bloody mary, a ginger sesame salad and the chowder- yummy. Â I sampled the root beer they create at the microbrewery it was a bit sweet but still a nice drink. Â My hubby enjoyed his meal as well as several of their beers.
I would love to return to NH and would definitely eat or grab a drink here.
Had lunch here after some nearby hiking with the GF. Â I had the IPA and the brown ale, both were very good. We ate inside in the dining room so we could get some much needed AC, but the outdoor seating area looked nice. They also have a couple bar areas if you want to just grab some drinks, one of which looks really cool.
I had the Near Death Experience burger, it was an absolutely massive burger with bacon. As far as burgers go, it was pretty good, would eat again. They also have some giant competitive eating burger that is two 16oz patties, I wouldn't dare try it though because I don't want my photo ending up on the wall of shame.
Will definitely revisit here if I'm ever in the area again.
**Review for the Inn**
This is such a lovely place to stay! I absolutely adore the ambiance, and the fact that there is a delicious restaurant, fantastic brewery and seasonal outdoor patio right downstairs puts the Woodstock Inn Station & Brewery over the top!
The story is that the Inn incorporated the original train depot in Lincoln, New Hampshire into the main building. Â The decor definitely reflects this, with lots of found art having to do with travel (luggage, ancient cameras and old photography of the area, etc.) of a bygone era. That said, the amenities are definitely up to date, with WIFI, cable, flatscreens, and AC units in every room. The Inn itself is divided into a few buildings up and down the main street, but they are just a hop, skip and a jump from the main building.
Some of the rooms share bathrooms, while some have private bathrooms, but few (if any) of them are actually in the rooms; usually they are found across the hallway. Â That said, the full bathrooms are kept exceedingly clean, and are unexpectedly large.
Breakfast is included with each of the rooms, and the Woodstock Inn does breakfast right. Â Hearty meals set you up for a long day of hiking, swimming, skiing, or shopping (North Conway is just a Kangamangus Highway away!). Â The huge menu features real maple syrup, and carafes of coffee are found on every table.
This is a wonderful place to stay regardless of the season, and there is plenty to do in the area for any length stay. Â Definitely check out their website for specials and events in the area!
Some of the best beer in New England is brewed right here. I've been here a handful of times and always had a good experience. I usually go to the downstairs pub, but on my recent visit, I noticed lots of construction and new additions going on! I came at 10:30 in the morning just to pick up a few growlers, and they sure were yummy! Weasel raspberry wheat gives me a headache though- but it is the tastiest beer probably on the planet in the summer. Their autumn ale is even better. The staff was friendly, perhaps a tad slower that service you would receive in the Boston area, but still accommodating.
I hope to do the tour someday.
Turning an old house into a restaurant is an interesting concept and the old furniture and decoration are cute! The service was acceptable when we went there for a lunch on a weekend, the food however was not fresh, some tasted stale and was very much over priced! I ordered a side salad with my meal to substitute the fries with the side salad I had to pay an extra 3 dollars or so, the salad was made of spring green and other stuff, some of the spring green had gone bad and were stinky! The rest of our food were too bad but certainly overpriced for what you get!
They have a nice patio there with quite a few tables.
I would give:
4 stars for the atmosphere
3.5 for service
2 for the food
I was torn on whether I should give this place 3 or 4 stars. On the one hand, it's only an average brewpub. On the other hand, they're a few small issues away from being an excellent place. Sounds like 4 stars to me.
We didn't realize it at the time, but we showed up in New Hampshire during bike week. We rounded the corner onto Main street and there were curb to curb bikes, parked everywhere. We were already formulating a backup plan as we walked in, but to our surprise we were told there was only a 20 minute wait. To our further surprise there were two empty seats at the outdoor bar. The friendly bartender suggested we could eat there if we didn't want to wait. A chance to enjoy a perfect New Hampshire evening with some biker/people watching thrown in? Sounds good to me.
The only problem with the bar was that it was pretty cramped. There's only one way in and out and there's another row of seats crammed in right behind you so it gets a little crowded when people are trying to move about. The good news is that they're in the middle of some improvement and renovations on the outdoor area so things could be getting better.
The beer is pretty good. I'm not a fan of their flagship brew, the Pig's Ear Brown Ale, but that's mostly because I don't like brown ales. I tried the Weasel Wheat and the Pemi Pale Ale with dinner and would gladly order either again, although I liked the Pemi better.
As our New Hampshire pre(and post)-hike tradition dictates we started with an order of buffalo wings. This is one of those issues I was talking about that they need to improve on. The chicken was frozen at some point so the biggest wing I bit into, while completely cooked, was ice cold in the middle. It also made for a slightly soggy breaded wing. The sauce had the right amount of kick and was pretty tasty, but I won't order the wings again.
My buddy went with the pulled pork and seemed really pleased, especially after being disappointed by the wings. I went with the BBQ bacon burger. You really can't go wrong with something like that. They make a big 9 oz beef patty and put it on a great tasting oblong roll. A bite of the burger, a sip of the Pemi, taking in some perfect weather, and visions of the next day's hike of Mt Adams dancing in my head....I was pretty content. Not so content with the frozen fries served on the side, but hey, anything tastes good when you pour on the ketchup.
I'll be back here at some point, I'm sure, if for no other reason than the fact that the girlfriend pouted when I told her I was going to a brewpub without her. Perhaps not a fantastic place, but when you're in the mood for a burger and a beer, you'll leave satisfied.
SOUP. SALADS. PIZZA. BBQ. MEXICAN. 4 different kinds of  WELLINGTON. FROG LEGS. This menu needs to chill the eff out. It also needs to not make me pay $12 for a burger. C'mon. Our waitress tended to disappear instead of do her job.
Though nothing is better than a beer and a burger after a hike, the combo was less than perfect from Woodstock.
Decent bar with friendly staff. There's a "speak easy" section where you can see them brew the beers. I'm not an expert micro brew connoisseur, so can't speak to the quality, but most of the ones I tried seemed fine.
Live music on some days, and seems like locals come here to kick back and drink too.
We stopped by here apres-hike to replenish our beer levels.
As many have suggested - this place is good for the beers and the sun on the patio, but the food can be hit or miss and the service is spotty at best.
They are remodeling in a huge way and it appears to have ripped up or effected 80% of the building. The front patio is in shambles, the inside has plywood walls, and you need to walk through a labyrinth of construction in order to find the hostess.
My beer was good, but flat. We split nachos and one other app that was so vanilla I cant remember it. Our waitress was juggling 5 tables outside and who knows how many inside. I can't pin the bad service on her, but I can say that we had to ask 3 times for a glass of water.
I want to hope that my experience is related to the fact that I came in the off season, or due to the construction, but the previous reviews tell me otherwise.
One fun thing is that they have a ludicrously large burger challenge and they put the winners pictures up on the wall. The fun part is that they put the losers pictures up on a wall as well!
I'm giving it a 4 because there isn't much else in that neck of the woods worth eating, and because the beer is actually pretty good.
As good as it's going to get for the White Mountain, New Hampshire or anywhere. Located in town, at the beginning of the Kancamangus Highway (rt. 112) makes it a perfect place to start from in the morning. Rooms start at $80+/night. Main dinning is 5 star, outside and pub restaurants are also good. Note to city folks like me, strangers at the bar talk to you!! Motorcycles welcome.
Burger & fries - 5 stars!
VG selection of wines.
2 Coronas $9!
If I were just writing this review for the beer I'd give it more stars. But the food was average and pricier than it says online and the service was a train wreck.
We had a large group in a car caravan from Manchester to Bethlehem for a wedding and a some in the wedding party had read about this place online. So since we were all ready for a beer and a bite to eat in a quaint little place, we stopped. Eight of us couldn't fit into an available table in the bar area where we wanted so we ended up in the Clement Room Grille dining area. They seated us promptly and even though it was two booths separated by a short divider we could still visit and share food.
The beers: We all did samplers
The Pemi Pale Ale was the best of their always on the menu beers and the special Maple Porter was fabulous. The Loon Golden Ale had a salty flavor to it. I wasn't impressed. Red Rack Red Ale I'd have again. It really just depends on your taste and the batch. But the hand made beers were worth the detour off 93 to try.
The food was ok. That's it ok. My trout was soggy in the garlic butter sauce and the baked potato had so much sour cream on it I noticed everyone who got one put some off on their bread plates. The mac and cheese was oddly sweet but the kick of fire in the after taste was a delightful treat. I can't really say any of it was bad. But for the price they seemed more proud of it than the chef did his job that day.
It was the service that was the downfall of the meal. With such a large group we asked for 4 separate checks as we were all couples that wanted to pay separate. The check came in one big bill. (More on that later.)
The waiter came by once after he brought the food to ask if we wanted more drinks. And until he brought the huge check we never heard a peep from him again. One table never got bread. Water was never refilled. Empty plates were never removed from the table (until the check came).
Now the big old check trouble. We went to the front desk where the register was and told the woman there we needed to separate this mess. She told us our waiter would need to do that for us - and left. So we stood there until she came back and we asked again if someone could help us. Finally our waiter showed up and told us we had not asked for separate checks and he would have to do that for us. We started to itemize what we wanted on the checks and he left and came back with 3 of them. Ok - we needed a forth which seemed to off put him. Each time we paid one of the checks he would have to go off to some waiter corner and get change.
Really? It took longer to pay the bill than eat. That end of the meal experience left a horrible taste in our mouths.
Anyone who has read my reviews knows that I'm not about being snarky or snipey. I love to eat out and write about my experiences. Most are favorable and all are fair. To protect the clueless employee who evidently missed the Inn's food safety training - and evidently didn't learn proper table manners or hygiene at home - suffice to say that management ought to ensure that the spoon used to scoop popcorn from the machine gets used. No one should be reaching in with bare hands, especially staff. Twice. Gross. I'm sure things are more tightly controlled in the kitchen.
About the food. The Inn version of pulled pork sandwich ($9.29) is braised and seasoned with Cajun-style spices, not drowning in bottled sauce as is too often the case. The tender pork was heaped onto a buttered and grilled bulkie roll. Delicious. The most unique sandwich on our table was a Croute Route Wellington ($10.89): ham, hand carved turkey breast and Swiss wrapped in puff pastry, hence the 'Wellington, topped with a light pepper cream sauce." I had a small portion my son couldn't finish and it was fantastic. My wife's Train Wreck ($11.39), a combo of ham, turkey, roasted red peppers, coleslaw and Brie (though the menu says Pepper Jack) on bread made from spent grains from the Inn's brewery. I'm told it was excellent, but my wife wasn't sharing that day. NOTE: The on-line menu prices are lower than the one you'll get at the restaurant. Not dramatically, but still...
The beer was OK. The Weasel White lacked the creamy mouthfeel and fragrant yeast of a German Hefeweizen or Allagash White. The Pemi Pale had balanced body and hop bitterness, but I would have liked more of both. But hey, that's just me. I see six- and twelve-packs of Woodstock Inn at markets all over the area. They're making beer a lot of people love. BTW, they have $3.50 pints during Happy Hour.
I'll try the Inn again. And you should, too. The place will no doubt be cleaner when the renovations are complete, and the patio is a great spot on a warm Spring day. If not for the grab and go employee, I'd have given the Inn 4 stars.
The best restaurant in Lincoln! I've been here probably 15 times and I'm about halfway through the menu. Everything I have had has been good to excellent. My favorite is the cajun chicken sandwhich - cheap, sits on a good roll, and is high quality chicken. I'd pay double if somebody were to bring me one right now.
TIP: Be aware of 30-60 minute waits on Friday & Saturday night.
TIP: Do not let them sit you in the downstairs dining area - it's an ackward/cramped area.
TIP: Bring a river tube since there is a natural waterslide across the street after the restaurant
TIP: Outdoor dining in the summer!
Beer: if I were reviewing for just the beer, there would be more stars. I enjoy the Wassail (be careful: higher alcohol content than others), the Autumn Seasonal, the Pig's Ear brown ale and the Golden Ale. There is the option to get a sampler, rather than pints to let you try multiple at once.
Dining Room: Â it is an old inn, so there's lots of little dining rooms with antique country decor. There's the brewery dining rooms & there's also a fancier white table cloth dining room if that's your fancy.
Food: Â on our most recent visit, we were more disappointed than happy. Those of us that ordered burgers or steak found them overcooked. This is why I give 4, not 5 stars. I have been before and had better food. I'm hoping it was simply an off night.
Service: friendly and warm for cold NH nights.
