We come to the area for work regularly, and just discovered this spot. Everything was great! They had a lovely patio, and the food was just what we needed. My partner has been thinking about his chicken sandwich since!

We sat inside, and it was such a nice atmosphere! Our server was super nice, and everything was delicious. I got the braised short ribs and they were definitely melt in your mouth. The green beans were perfectly cooked, and the potatoes were to die for (and i'm not a potato person!) The flavor was amazing! My friend got the Mom's mac and cheese and let me have a taste, and oh my goodness... I could have eaten the whole bowl! Highly suggest getting the smaller size, as this was just enough to feed a grown man.

Came here once before to meet friends and only had a drink. Came for dinner this time after reviewing the menu and seeing more vegan options. I got the Mini pumpkin, pumpkin soup and the butternut squash fries. Bypassed the mayo based dip and the waiter brought out a jelly pepper and it was very good. The mini stuffed pumpkin was stellar. One of my favorite things I've had in a long time. Pumpkin soup was also right up there. Everything was very good. Dalton the server went above and beyond to make for a great Thursday afternoon dinner. The inside of the restaurant was very nice and calming. Will return if the vegan options remain. Very happy.

The Railpenny is hands-down the best restaurant in the Epping area. It has everything you could want; a cozy atmosphere, stunning cocktails, and a comforting menu. The restaurant is small but tastefully decorated and felt like you were dining at home. Our first visit was great. Our server Nicole H. was very friendly and accommodating when the menu item we ordered was out of stock. Their shoestring french fries are some of the best I have ever had. The bill was pricey but well worth the money. The outside addition of the Beer Garden sounds enticing. We cannot wait to return for a few drinks and live music.

We had a large party last night for my nephews going away to the Army. From the first step of making a reservation to the moment we left, everyone was so kind. Service was great and our food and drinks were delicious. I drove over an hour, my Aunt drove up from NY and the rest are from Manchester and Hampton. Anyway... I personally had Dad's Mac and a Ceasar salad. Your dressing is delish. Not to mention the Toffee Bread Pudding! Yummy! A shout out to the owners fiance who I met at Rgged a few weeks ago and he told me about the place. Well worth the trip and we will return! Congratulations and have a beautiful wedding! Thank you for the recommendation!

The Railpenny Tavern in Epping, NH for a couple pints of the goods. I have been here a good amount of times for the food & Sunday brunch in the past, but this visit was all about the beers. They have a good amount of beer here between the revolving taps & big can selection. I'm always able to find a couple beers I haven't had to try out. Great atmosphere here & the service has always been excellent regardless of the server I've had. This time around I had Christian who was awesome & patient while I searched for a couple beers I hadn't had on the menu like a newbie. The two pints I got were both in the IPA category, but different styles of IPAs. The first pint I got was the WEST COAST IPA from Jester King Brewery, it was a typical West Coast offering, good, but nothing mind blowing. The second pour I grabbed was the winner of the two. The MENTAL GYMNASTICS Sour IPA from Garrison City Beerworks was damn good. I've never been a big sour IPA fan, but this one struck the perfect balance. There is all the usual seating options here to enjoy your beers, bar seating, tables & hightops plus a patio section in the warmer months. Great time like usual here & I'm sure I'll be back again a couple times by years end since I'm right down the street now. #craftbeer #supportlocal #beerstagram #BeerGoals #untappd #NewHampshire #newengland #newhampshireeats #beer #brewery #brewerylife #bartender #nhbrewed #nhbrewery #beergasm
