The Hannah Jack Tavern in Merrimack, NH. The building really is a genuine antique. It is divided into small, intimate rooms with about 4 tables each. Some rooms have a fireplace. The restaurant has been in business for well over 20 years - at least, that's how long my family has been frequenting it. I just recently ate there after a long absence and everything was just as I remembered it! UPDATE: Unfortunately, the Hannah Jack closed when the owners decided to retire! So sad! Keeping the tip for sentimental reasons... I wish they had decided to sell instead, but maybe the atmosphere would have changed too much anyway with new owners. Local bakeries still sell the 'Hannah Jack bread' which is a semi-sweet, soft bread filled with raisins and nuts. So delicious! I understand The Common Man restaurant has opened in the old Hannah Jack location. I'll write a review when I get over there. .
The prime rib is the best anywhere. The salad bar has very unique and tasty items, and the Hannah Jack is known for its soft loaves of bread made with raisins and nuts. Delicious! .
