I got a French onion soup, the Philly cheeseteak and a cranberry spritzer. Everything was fresh and great tasting. Service was exceptional, the waitress was friendly and accomadating. It was a great find for a quick solo lunch.

We stopped at The Dutch Treat seeking refuge from a blizzard. The place was full of people so we knew it must be good. Diana was great with my two little boys and we greatly enjoyed dinner.

Dutch Treat is family dinning and very casual. People know each other slow but lovely service a lot of hospitality. We got different beers from tab and some delicious pizza 🍕 i would recommend this place when you have your second home nearby and after a long day on the slopes at Cannon Mountain - you might want to have some good time with your friends and family dinning.

Fantastic food and beautiful decor. Our server Di was wonderful and great with checking in despite a full house for the super bowl! The beef bourguignon, lava cake, and hot rum cider were all delicious!

Went to Dutch’s for the first time after their ‘make over’/remodel (see more on Restaurant Impossible) and was impressed. Same family style service, but the menu has definitely been upgraded. Wife had the Portobello Sandwich and I had a huge serving of Crispy Chicken. Both were super tasty! The interior decor is a great refresh, and the beer/wine/drink selection remains great. Busier now that some other local spots have closed. We will try the pizza next. Good bar too!

We stopped here for dinner on our travels. Diana was so nice and attentive. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The homemade potato chips were a family favorite. There is a kids menu.

Oct 2024 Our family came here for dinner during the busy fall-peeper season so we weren't surprised there was a wait for dinner. It didn't take long to be seated but they let us know it would be 45 minutes to get food (it only took 30). In the meantime we enjoyed delicious beverages and the servers (Diana was amazing!) were friendly and attentive even though super busy. Franconia is a quieter local town than the more commercialized other local ski towns and we were thrilled to be visiting. It was cool to see people from all over the world and have a long chat with locals at the end of the night. Oh yeah, the food was delicious also! Big menu. I'm not sure I cared though because the ambiance made it the most special.

We were driving back from Vermont, and stopped in here for brunch - and what a great find! They were off to a slow start, with one server at opening - but she was so friendly. We went on St. Patrick’s Day, so of course we had to get their corned beef special. At the waitress’s recommendation, we also got the steak and cheese and French onion soup.

The food was excellent. We got here pretty much by chance. I had the surf and turf plate and my husband had the haddock and potato chowder. Both were really delicious and looked beautiful. The service may have been a bit dlow but i didn't mind much and it was worth it, too.
