Reviews
We keep telling ourselves to try new places, but we always end up right back at the Riverworks—and for good reason. This cozy, welcoming spot has become our go-to in Newmarket. Whether you’re plant-based or just looking for great food, there are always at least two solid vegetarian options on the menu.
Just yesterday, John had the House-Made Black Bean & Corn Burger, topped with fried onion and herbed goat cheese. I went for the Gouda-Brie-Heirloom Tomato Grilled Cheese with fig preserve on sourdough. Paired with their perfectly crispy fries, it was tray-licking good—I even joked with the bartender/owner that it was “awful” as I pushed my crumb-free tray towards her, just to emphasize how delicious it was. I meant to ask for the chef to come out so I could compliment him in person!
If you sit at the bar, chances are you’ll end up chatting with the owner and the super friendly staff. They greet you like you’re part of the crew—it must be a great place to work because the good energy is contagious.
The beverage menu is smart, always rotating with the seasons. I tried the Dolce Vita yesterday—a mix of Tito’s, Limoncello, and a house-made basil syrup (or something like that)—and it was delicious. We even split a slice of strawberry cheesecake with a candied crust that snapped with a spoon but melted in the mouth.
We’ve brought several friends here, and we’ll keep doing so. Bonus points for the town itself—no parking meters, so you can park anywhere on the main drag. After your meal, be sure to walk down to the river. Just past the old stone buildings, there are stairs leading down to a series of lovely waterfalls. It’s pure New England charm.
In short: Don’t visit Newmarket without a meal (and a beverage) at the Riverworks. And don’t visit the Riverworks without taking a stroll through this beautiful little gem of a town.
The prime rib special was absolutely delicious. One of the best prime rib dinners I’ve ever had. It was cook perfectly. So tender, juicy and to top it off, it was huge!
I had an entire meal of it the following night and it was still delicious!
