Location: I-95, Exit 4, Newington, New Hampshire

Newick’s is a little difficult to find. Take I-95 exit 4 and travel about 5 miles west on US Route 4 to Newington. It’s located on a frontage road and looks out on the “Great Bay”. This is genuine New England seafood… and about as fresh as you can get! Generous portions, great prices, in an informal, family atmosphere. You have to try the boiled lobster, you’ll be hooked! (no, I do not work there but go there every time I’m in the area)

Location: I-95 Exit 176, Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina

The absolute best place to eat hands down is definitely Aunt Sarah’s Pancake House just as you cross the state line into North Carolina in Roanoke Rapids. It is connected to a Comfort Inn which I have stayed at during my many trips to Florida. Both places are comfortable and reasonably priced, and as far as food for breakfast , lunch and dinner Aunt Sarah’s offers everything from homemade country breakfasts to cousin johns fried chicken for dinner. The service friendly and attentive. Aunt Sarah’s and it’s adjoining Comfort Inn show you the true meaning of southern hospitality. Five stars in my book.
