I read the reviews on Tripadvisor and it seems like it attracts tons and tons of tourists - and reviews don't exactly rave about the food. Is there another less-well-known place where you can get good turkey dinners? I'm interested in the general location of southern VT or NH, western to central MA. Mon Oct 12 17:16:17 -0700 2009 129259 wintersummer 1 5098553 Do you know there is one in Manchester, NH now? Sorry for posting this is you do. http://www.hartsturkeyfarm.com/ Mon Oct 12 19:41:07 -0700 2009 5098221 14620 hummingbird 2 5098860 I've eaten at Hart's a few times at Thanksgiving over the last few years and it's fine. Wait until late rin the day though when the crowds become less. It's turkey, not gourmet food. Tue Oct 13 01:19:23 -0700 2009 5098553 10646 javaandjazz 1 5100149 Trip Advisor is not very reliable, especilly about food. Try it yourself - it's a good turkey dinner, not fancy, but just fine. Tue Oct 13 12:08:41 -0700 2009 5098221 12205 sophie fox 2 5100198 It's New England food! I would go back again.

They have turkey dinners in all sizes, and have other items like turkey pot pie, turkey livers and turkey croquettes. This is turkey mecca. Our waiter in the Manchester location was a riot, a big gay version of Mildred Pierce--perfect! Tue Oct 13 16:17:11 -0700 2009 5098221 13003 whs 1 5102731 I have such nostalgic love for Harts - so even though it's not fantastic I still love it. We summered on the Lake and typically on rainy weekend days we would go to Harts. So it's a fond childhood memory. When we are in the area-we still will stop for lunch. And I still enjoy it. I personally think the food is decent. Like someone elsesaid-it's turkey. I have been wanting to try the Manchester location ever since I heard about it-bit closer to me.

I'm craving it now. :) Wed Oct 14 15:58:32 -0700 2009 5102731 13003 whs 1 5104113 I actually really liked the HTF in Manchester, They had friendly servers the food was great, and it was not packed full of leaf peepers and tourists. Just locals enjoying a good dinner. I am not one to pass praise lightly, I am hugely critical when I am paying for food/service. Wed Oct 14 19:53:53 -0700 2009 5098221 54116 gryphonskeeper 1 5104120 I recently tried the one in Meredith even tho 2 CH ers advised against. But, it was a rainy day and could not go hiking so we went for a drive and ended up here. There's everything on the menu, not just turkey. My friend and I shared a salad that would have fed 6 normal people, 3 hungry ones. Then shared a turkey dinner, all white meat. The stuffing and mashed potatoes were so-so but the white meat was moist and delicious and they make yeast rolls and corn bread from scratch. VERY reasonable.

Any places like Harts in that area? I'll save the NH Harts for a future visit. Thu Oct 15 07:54:35 -0700 2009 5104120 129259 wintersummer 3 5108852 I don't know of anyplace like that around the Manchester, VT area. Fri Oct 16 13:54:52 -0700 2009 5105002 44952 dukegirl 4 5112010 I do not either. Sun Oct 18 08:37:30 -0700 2009 5108852 214260 xcptnl 5 5112375 Manchester VT caters more toward the New York/Berkshires crowd so you will probably find a french bistro or sushi, but not a turkey dinner. Last time I was there, the Armani outlet was having a great sale.
