The Newell Post

Tried The Newell Post for an additional breakfast choice in the Concord area. I’d be hard pressed to give this anymore than three stars.
The pumpernickel bread that was supposed to be amazing was under toasted and soaked with butter to the point of being mush.
The table we sat at was not wiped clean before seating us.
The entrance and exit to the parking lot was one and the same, resulting in congestion and confusion.
Why they made the decision to only serve hash browns during the work week is a little puzzling.
On the plus side, they did have a decent eggs bene and to my surprise, they offered grits (needing salt and butter).
Staff was pleasant and efficient.
All being said, it’s your typical average breakfast joint in the Concord area. We’ve been to worse so don’t let this seemingly harsh, first visit review dissuade you from giving The Newell Post a try.

I’ve been wanting to try this place since we moved to the area last April. We FINALLY made it over there on Sunday morning.
My husband, my 4 year old son and I decided to give it a try. The line is usually out the door so we were lucky to be seated within 2 minutes of walking in. If this is your first time here, you should know that they keep a list at the counter where you write your own name in and how many are in your party. We didn’t realize this and the hostess helped us out.
The restaurant has a small parking lot and a small inside. The free standing tables are close together, but there are also booths around the perimeter and a breakfast bar near the kitchen you can sit at, as well.
We waited a few more minutes than we would have liked for our server so when she finally did arrive we already had our orders ready to give her. My husband got the Salsa Fiesta omelette, my son got a kid’s egg and toast and I ordered the crabcake eggs bene. We both had coffee and the little guy had OJ.
We got our beverages right away, but the food took nearly 40 minutes. Our server came over around the 30 minute mark and explained that there was a large party that ordered just before we did and apologized.
We were getting a bit antsy, as you can imagine. Luckily our 4 year old was behaving well. The temperature inside the building was very warm. I ended up longing for the moment when a patron would open the front door near us so I could feel a cool breeze.
When our food arrived it looked delicious! My husband was very happy with his omelette. We both were pleased with the crispiness of the home fries and the seasoning on it was perfect. No ketchup or salt and pepper needed! My crabcake bene was really REALLY good. The sweetness of the crab mixed with the saltiness of the hollandaise left my tongue in a happy, happy state. I couldn’t finish my plate. I left half my homefries and half of one of bene behind, as much as it hurt me to do so, my insides just couldn’t take another bite.
All in all I’d say that this place is worth the wait. I definitely want to go again. I know they serve lunch, and I’m interested to try something from that menu soon!

Friendly service, great food. Can’t wait to come back.

My company used Newell Post to provide breakfasts to our staff every week during tax season. It was a huge hit and everyone looked forward to it during the cold crazy tax season months. Additionally we use them for appetizers and desserts for seminars we put on and the dessert bar tray is amazing!

My husband and I went for breakfast here this morning and really enjoyed it! The food was good. We loved the toast and the cinnamon roll. I got an omelette and it was great! My only complaint is the lack of a waiting area.

Disappointing after hearing good things. Less than fresh fruit, burned toast, undercooked over hard eggs, no herb tea. I know I’m looking for healthy alternatives, but they were not available. Place was packed on a Friday morning, and service was only so-​so.

We are always looking for new local breakfast places and oh my God have we found one. The wait to get in was long but very much worth it. The staff was friendly and playful and the service was fast. The food was simply excellent. Their take on corned beef hash was amazing. Everything else was perfectly cooked, hot and delicious. The homemade toast and bakery items are a must. We’ll be back.
Update: we bought a German Chocolate Cake on our way out. We just tried it. I’m pretty sure I wept. It was easily the best German Chocolate Cake I’ve ever had. WOW

We’ve been going to Newell post since they opened but have decreased the frequency consistently. They’re always packed which is fantastic for business but their service and friendliness of staff has been on the decline – not to mention the quality of the food.
Their home fries aren’t bad, but standard. Their bread is baked fresh but I would bet anything that the dough comes in frozen. Their omelettes are good and safe to stick with, but sometimes the line cooks will omit items accidentally (when they’re in the weeds its understandable). American cheese is their standard which I personally cannot stand, and I’m always frustrated when I forget to substitute it out. That’s on me-​just be advised.
By far the most disappointing item on their menu are the crab cakes. (Served with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce – how could you go wrong, right?). For starters, they always over cook poached eggs and the homemade crab cakes contain IMITATION CRAB MEAT! My heart sank at first bite. Not to mention it’s close to if not the most expensive item on the menu.
If they were strictly a breakfast sandwich and omelette place they would likely get three stars… Also – you need to try the corn beef hash: it’s homemade and absolutely delicious. Skew from that and you may or may not be disappointed-​it really depends on the day.

We visited today based on recommendations from Unilocal!and did not disappoint. Breakfast was fresh and hot — great homemade bread (toast) and home fries. Belgian waffle was light and fluffy. Staff was friendly and we called ahead to see if there was a wait which there was not. 10 minutes after we sat down there was a line out the door. Highly recommend to others.

COME EARLY OR MAKE RESERVATIONS! we waited about 20 minutes for a table but it was WORTH IT! Staff is very friendly and prompt for as busy as they were, bravo Newell Post :-)

Best home cooked breakfast. Friendly staff. Clean and bright dining area. I have gone here several times and it’s always amazing

Clean homey great home cooked food! Polite staff I will definitely be coming back when I visit NH again!

Wonderful food, fast and friendly service, clean and bright restaurant, good location, ample parking. Would definitely return!

Living nearby I most often run in their for a scone, cinnamon roll with CREAM CHEESE frosting or other pastry. Breakfasts are great. It’s nice to also have a sit down lunch option under $ 10. Thanks! Their catering is great too!

We are house hunting in the area, and wanted to try and find a great spot for breakfast. This is not it. We stood in front with 2 of our children, while at LEAST 6 employees walked by us and didn’t say one word. As I begin to cry, because this process is stressful enough as it is, more people come walking in and are greeted right away and asked to put their names on a board. My husband steps in at this point and we get our name at the top of the list.
We are seated, and our waitress is as sweet as can be to our children, although saying multiple times that ‘I want to take you home with me’ is a little creepy.
On to the food. Coffee is subpar. Husband was happy enough with the chipped beef special. Pancakes are rubbery, eggs are tasteless, bacon and sausage are ok, and the baby loved the baked apples. Wait staff constantly passing with arms full of dishes and something burning in the kitchen. We won’t be returning.

They catered my company’s cookout. The food and service was very good.

So, if I find a great place, I have to share! This restaurant has it going on! Excellent food… homemade bread, baked apples, homefries, etc. The servings are generous and the prices affordable. Also, the staff is friendly and attentive. The owners were present and involved the whole time we were there and even stopped to chat with us while we were in. You can tell a lot about a business by looking at how the staff is and this group runs like a well oiled machine. We will be back soon!

Very impressed with a quaint hometown diner. Family atmosphere, fresh food, homemade, real corn beef… very pleased. Service was prompt. Clean. Exceptional all around.

Breakfast all day. Corn chowder was phenomenal. Easy drive off 93 and to get back on highway from NH to MA.

It is my understanding this is a relatively new spot (built in last two years). It is a small place with minimal waiting area (which you will do) so if you are blocking the entrance just open the door and smile.
Food is very good. The bread is homemade, the corned beef hash is shredded corn beef with small potatoes … Tremendous. Eggs Benny is cooked perfectly, veggie wrap is very tasty. The food is very good and easily the best breakfast in concord /​pembroke area.
Service is decent. Staff is friendly just would like to see less thumbs in the food.
