Reviews Summary

Moat Mountain Smokehouse & Brewing Co. is a popular spot known for its extensive craft beer selection and hearty pub fare, particularly its smoked meats like brisket and pulled pork. While many praise the friendly service and lively atmosphere, some diners found the meat to be dry and lacking smoke flavor, and cocktails could be inconsistent. It's a lively haunt with dedicated fans, though some feel the quality has declined.

"I never write reviews. We’re residents & is by far our family’s favorite place in the North Conway area. Service is always friendly & attentive by the entire staff. At the bar, Sherri make us feel like we just came home every time . Always a smile and a kind word & suggestions on all the great beers on tap. Love Helles Yes. We’ve had Paula multiple times as a server and she always remembers our names and our favorite dishes. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We never leave without having the buffalo tenders and brisket dinner is amazing."

LC JR87

"Went in for dinner and we ordered the garlic cheese curds, the brisket and pulled pork.
Cheese curds were yummy and fresh.
The garlic mashed potatoes was nice and garlicky and the Cajun fries were perfectly
crispy.
For being a smokehouse, we expected the meat to be smoked. The brisket had no smoke ring and was a little on the drier side. Was hoping for a fatty/juicy piece.. The pulled pork was fine but nothing crazy.

& kudos to whoever was on aux."

Janet Wong

"The food was fabulous! We had the flight of beers, which were also great. I liked the blueberry, she loved Scotties IPA. The brisket chili with sausage was outstanding. We went for the combo and all of it was noteworthy. And the service was outstanding too! Clearly a top notch organization!"

Tips and Ideas for Planning a Summer Weekend in North Conway|!!| New Hampshire

While we read the menu we ordered a couple of local microbrews — Tuckerman Pale Ale, made in Conway, and a smooth brown ale by Moat Mountain, located just down the road. We settled on the Friday night special fisherman’s platter and a half-pound sirloin burger with applewood- smoked bacon and Vermont cheddar cheese. Instead of ordering dessert, we adjourned to Spoons, the old-fashioned ice cream parlor downstairs, where we bought cones — how could we resist ice cream with a name like LL Bean Muddy Bean Boots?.

Black Cap - NH Family Hikes

After surviving the unsettlingly steep drive up Hurricane Mountain Road, the hike starts from the Nature Conservancy's large parking lot in the flat mountain pass between Black Cap and Hurricane Mountain, where recent logging activity has pervaded the area. Follow the wide and level Black Cap Trail beyond trail signs into the woods. After dipping slightly, the trail ramps up its ascent of the mountain over more rocks and roots.
