Was able to stop in here a few weeks ago when driving through the area and it was delightful! The food and drinks were fresh and tasty and the atmosphere was casual and lovely. Can’t wait to come back!

My friend and I stopped at this restaurant on our drive home from Vermont and it was a cute little restaurant. A bit expensive but the food was amazing and big portions and nice and fresh you could tell the food was fresh and healthy. I got the fish and chips and my friend got the cheeseburger. We were definitely happy with it.

A great pub with terrific food. We had the Korean salad and the chicken sandwich. Both were excellent with terrific homemade fries. We also loved our manhattans. The atmosphere was lively and friendly. Definitely will be back whenever we’re in the area. Our one suggestion for management would be adding a vestibule as the restaurant got quite chilly whenever anyone entered.

This place topped off a stay at the Inn at Valley farm by coming to this restaurant. The farm provides a lot of the food for The Hungry Diner. The food was awesome. Had the Lamb burger, incredible flavor. Highly recommend. I'm glad they are not close to where I live.... I would make them rich and me having to buy bigger pant sizes... I would be here evey week for our family night out for sure... Menu has something great for everyone!!!!

A great little local restaurant and beer garden serving up local produce, meats, and beers. Lots of family’s were enjoying the outdoor space with their kids and dogs. I highly recommend the pickle jar filled to the brim with freshly pickled local. It was wonderful! For my entree I had the Korean grilled beef salad which was so refreshing and satisfying. It was so good I came back the next day again. I highly recommend this local gem.

We found this place hitting some of the antique stores between Keene and then traveling a little further north. The food was great, beers, good and we also bought one of the mini glasses they have branded with their store. Good trip, right alongside the river in the food was very good. Worth the stop by.

You will pay more, but it is worth it. Local produce, local meats, locally baked breads, and all of it is delicious. The staff are all connected to the local farms and are paid a decent amount and get benefits not normally associated with food service. It is a regular stop for us when we drive through, and we have been known to drive the hour to get there. I've even ridden out with my motorcycle buddies for lunch because it is such a beautiful area. Oh, and local musician perform sometimes and, during the warm weather, you can sit outside and enjoy excellent food and music

We’ve stopped here 2 times now and both times have been truly amazing! We had lunch here the first time and came back for dinner on our way up north. The specials are always delicious and it’s hard to decide but their other menu items are amazing too. I ordered the lamb burger which was the best lamb burger I’ve ever had in my life. I just pray it stays as a menu item forever and ever. Amen. Their maple milkshake and ice cream was a 10/10. The flavors are not fake tasting like some soft serve. We love you Hungry Diner! Keep it local and keep it delicious
