Went on the recommendation of a local and wasn't that impressed. Food was good but wasn't terrific like it sounded. A little pricey for average fare. It was very dark inside which didn't create any atmosphere if that's what they were trying to do. I really like to see what I'm eating. More

The food and of course, the beer, here are absolutely great. Salmon especially. Service is average, wait staff is awkward at best. Beer Sampler is a good deal. Waitress spilled the second half of our order on us and on the floor, so we were not charged for that food! More

This is a must-stop for anyone spending time in North Conway. We had the beer sampler consisting of beers brewed on premises. My favorite was the Czech Pilsner second by the Blueberry this time while my husband preferred one of the darker ales. The curried crab chowder needed a little more curry and it wasn't served hot, which tends to... More

We ate at the Moat on Friday evening. The drinks and food were great. I had the Chipolte wings and they were perfect. My wife had the chicken and portebello sandwich and she loved it. Try the sampler flight of their local brews, great value. My only comment was that we sat on the porch area which was comfortable, albeit... More

We were a party of 4 that chose to go here from an a in the telephone book. Service was a little slow but the waitress spent the time that she needed to at each table. The food was awesome and the portions were generous. Definitely recommend this place!!!! More

Stopped by here on the way back fron Mt. Washington. We look for places that appear nice from the outside with lots of local cars in the lot. The system worked again. We sat on an enclosed porch that looked out over the white mountains. The view was great and the service superior. I had the pulled pork with sweet... More

All I wanted was good, hearty food and did Moat Mountain deliver. We sat at a high top in the bar and Brian was our server. He was so warm and helpful. They brew their own beer there and I wasn't sure which one I'd like so he brought me a sample of two that he thought I'd like. We... More

After being in a car for about 5 hours, I was in need of some REAL food, I checked trip advisor- this place got rave reviews.. I stopped in and the place has a college kid vibe, but one inside- the juke box was stocked with ALL 90's music- which I was so excited about- and the interesting brews on... More

Waitress was unfriendly. She needs to learn to smile and ask patrons if they want coffee or dessert at the end of dinner instead of rushing to bring the check. Beer was good. Atmosphere is what one would expect in N Conway, enough said. Food was so so. Even the Nachos were bad because they were sooo salty. Spinach salad... More
