So my wife and I stopped here on a whim. Let's say it was our fortunate situation. You do not expect great BBQ in NH but we were very happy we did. Start out our server Brooke was fantastic the manager Jen terrific Thank you Ladies for a wonderful meal experience. We were told Mary is a Texas/Oklahoma native who relocated to NH. From the start drinks were plentiful our appetizers of burnt ends and a sampler were large enough for 4 people to share and it was only the two of us. Our meals of pulled pork on Texas toast and the Oklahoma smash burger perfectly done the sides were what I expected as if we were in Texas excellent as well. We were told they have only been open for four months. So with the busy season in front of them give this place a try you will not be disappointed. Also make sure you try the house sauce its a pleasant surprise as well.

Stopped by for some drinks before lunch and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were very nice and helpful, and knew of all the events happening in the area. The music, decorations, and merch are pretty cool too! Definitely want to stop by for a show on the weekend.

We had a great experience at this new restaurant/bar. There were 6 in our party and we were in the middle of an overnight running relay race from Lancaster to Hampton Beach. The owner was on site and extremely helpful, friendly and enthusiastic about the operation. The staff were friendly and attentive before we sat down, during the meal and after we finished. The food was excellent and delivered quickly to our table. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful views of the mountains and listen to the timeless sounds of the Grateful Dead. I would highly recommend Grateful Skier, whether your looking for a good meal or just want to have a drink with friends and family. Don't forget to ask about the MERCH! Very cool!!!

My family and I just had dinner here and the food was fantastic. We started with buffalo wings which were very good, blue cheese was homemade. My wife got the nachos with chicken as her meal and I had the Oklahoma smash burger. Both are excellent, one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. I got a side of potato salad which was very good. The kids meals were good as well, no crumbs left behind. The waitress was very nice and we got to engage in conversation as well with the chef which was great. I’d recommend giving it a try absolutely!!

Stopped at The Grateful Skier today for brunch on our way to Canada. We were seated immediately by our friendly server who also helped us choose some favorites from the delicious choices on the menu. I had the eggs over easy with a side of baked beans. I have never seen this as a brunch option and love that they offer it. They were the absolute best baked beans I have ever eaten! I also loved the decor. Not the usual rustic style found in mountain towns which was refreshing. It also has fun and tasteful Grateful Dead bear decals on the wall that I had only noticed when we were leaving. Definitely check this place out before the winter rush!

I’ve had several breakfasts at The Grateful Skier now and each time has been awesome. Mary’s eggs Benedict are the best around. My most recent visit was last Saturday. Eric and team were able to accommodate our party of 20 and they didn’t miss a beat. The staff was on top of their game, friendly, attentive, and efficient. Thanks guys for another perfect experience. I’m truly grateful!

We loved this place! We remember it as a sports bar, but we weren’t fans, then. We had great service, three different areas to eat. We ate out in the deck. It was the perfect place for the 4 of us. The pulled port and the brisket sandwiches were tender and perfect. I’m also a fan of the Cole Slaw, but the chips were excellent! The 4 of us were very happy with the combinations we ordered. The sides were great. This place sat us promptly, they had a great band downstairs, plenty of indoor seating and a great deck seating area. We’ll return! Try this place out, we think you’ll enjoy it like we did!
