Visit One Oldest Family Owned Restaurants In New Hampshire

There’s a reason why some restaurants have the longevity they do. Normally, to last decades, a restaurant offers ambiance, attentive service, and delicious food, all of which make patrons want to return again and again. Better yet is if a restaurant is owned by generations of the same family which usually keeps the consistency of the service and quality going through the years. One of the oldest family-owned restaurants in New Hampshire is one we will have a look at today. And it’s one you will want to visit if you find yourself in Portsmouth.

In 1960, Dinnerhorn began as a drive-in eatery where patrons could order burgers, shakes, and fried seafood.
