Eating out is always fun, but most of the time it feels like a special event. Hop in the car, drive to the restaurant, wait for a table, make your choice, and then enjoy a meal that’s unlike anything you’d make at home. We love that, but sometimes you just want something simple. That’s what you’ll find at this spot with locations in two different New Hampshire towns!
Fody’s Tavern in Derry and Fody’s Great American Tavern in Nashua offer two dining experiences that will have you wishing you could eat out every night of the week!

You could say that Fody’s in Nashua, the original, got its start all the way back in 1833 when the building it resides in was built. In fact, the restaurant is in the oldest building in the city!

In 1901 the building was moved across the street, which required horses and steel chains. It was turned into an upscale hotel and restaurant and the tavern officially got its start!

If you’re in the mood for something casual but more of a meal, opt for the burger with fries.

Dinner offers something a bit more refined, but somehow everything here still feels laid back. The steak is great.

Except maybe ordering a scotch at the bar. That’s pretty cozy, too.
