    Great venue for race fans. Opposite the iconic track. Great fun from quirky hand book menus to the cars dotted around the restaurant. Food and service were pretty good too.

    I just gave the breakfast buffet a taste test on their opening night, and they passed with flying colors. I then tried their new dinner menu tonight, and it was even more impressive. Everything they serve is fresh that day. They have a very gifted chef, and food is simply amazing. If you go for dinner, make sure you save room for dessert. I highly recommend the prime rib (available at the buffet and on the dinner menu), the salmon, and their fluffy homemade cheesecake. I look forward to going back to check out their live entertainment!

    This place felt outright illegal. The door staff were wildly inconsistent with ID checks—my valid, real ID was denied, then accepted seconds later after an argument. Inside, the crowd was shockingly young, and people who appeared visibly underage were being served alcohol in plain view. I even watched someone walk off with an entire handle of Granite State vodka without staff noticing, which says everything about the lack of control. Between the lax ID enforcement, underqualified staff, and apparent underage service, this was easily the worst bar experience I’ve ever had—avoid it.

    My mom and I visited this gem of a restaurant while we were staying in the area for the Special Olympics NH Summer Games 2025, and let me just say — WOW. We needed a place for dinner, and I called the day before to check if it would be safe for my mom, who has a severe, life-threatening allergy to crustaceans. I explained the seriousness of the situation, and the person I spoke with reassured me they'd take every precaution. My gut told me this was the place to go — and I’m so glad I listened.

    From the moment we walked in, the experience was amazing. The atmosphere was calm and quiet — almost like a hidden retreat — and we were surprised to learn the restaurant had just recently opened. Despite being new and having limited bar items, they absolutely nailed the most important things: service and food quality.

    We both had special dietary needs (my mom’s allergy and my own sensitive stomach), and chef Greg went above and beyond to accommodate us. I ordered the roasted chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans almondine, and let me tell you — that chicken was the most tender and juicy I’ve ever had. I never choose chicken breast because it's usually dry, but this chef? Absolute wizard. My mom was equally impressed and felt completely safe eating her meal, which is a huge relief for both of us.

    Our server, Wesley, was an absolute angel — sweet, attentive, and truly made us feel cared for. And the chef? Not only did he cook everything himself, he’s also the owner, and he made it a point to come out and personally greet guests. The whole experience reminded me of a favorite place my boyfriend and I visit in Orlando, where the chef also makes you feel like family. It was that kind of personal, heartfelt hospitality — a rarity around here in New Hampshire.

    This isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a true dining experience. If you're looking for great food, amazing people, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is THE spot. They also have a night club downstairs which I got to see, and it looks fantastic! It's the perfect spot to grab a drink at the bar, enjoy some late-night bites and dance to some music. We will definitely be back next year for dinner while I compete for Special Olympics NH Summer Games 2026 but we might even be back way before then!

    Absolutely amazing! The food was 10/10, our server Wesley was super friendly and helpful, and Chef Greg was the absolute best. He is the owner, and came out of the kitchen after cooking out meals and talked to us and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. This place should be jam packed every night for dinner. Also you can’t beat the prices. Come as soon as you can to come check out The Blue Flame!
