First let me point out that this restaurant is located in the town of "New Durham", not Durham. New Durham is a small town in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, Durham is the home of the University of NH and located nearer the seacoast. Whenever I have one of my infrequent hankerings for fried seafood, I always find my... More

The service has always been fantastic however the food is bland and tasteless. We are a family of four and not one of us enjoyed our food. We will avoid that place! More

As a local I have visited here on several occasions, each time is a different expieriance. You either get good food or poor service but never both in the same visit. Food generally is warm at most possibly due to sitting under a heat lamp as the wait staff seems spread thin. Most likely will not return, they have had... More

I can't speak to the restaurant, but Johnson's Dairy Bar is a legend among my family and friends. We stop on our way home from travels up north for the fresh and delicious ice cream. Their cones have to be the best value going as scoops are HUGE and prices are very reasonable! I cannot even finish half of a... More

Johnson's has become a fairly regular stop for us as it is consistently good. The seafood is fresh. The chowder is very good and the other things we've tried (salads and steak tips) have never disappointed. I would like to point out that their definition of medium rare is on the rare side for those who don't like their meat... More

This is a nice family style restaurant. Easy to get to on the main road. Have never had to wait for a place to sit more than 10 minutes even when they are busy (Which they usually are!). My favorite is their scallops! They are giant and tasty. The servers are young and fast. Comfortable booth seating. They have a... More
