Delaney's Hole In the Wall

My husband and I recently spent a few nights in North Conway on a Lil romantic getaway and our first day in town we stopped in for lunch....absolutely awesome experience. Was a bit busy, but after we got our food I can understand why.....delicious doesn't even come close. We ordered some apps and drinks to split because we weren't overly hungry. We ordered the deep fried green beans and mozzarella sticks....both were amazing. The jalapeño ranch dip that comes with the green beans is awesome all by itself too. We also tried an really good IPA called Fiddlehead...really good!! I did order one more item....being that my father is from Fairhaven, MA we were raised with Stuffed Quahogs in our diets for many years. Delaneys has them on their menu so you know I HAD to try them. People, I have NEVER had a Quahog so delicious out side of Mass in my life!! It was absolutely amazing...and only $5 bucks!!! We both agreed that this was the perfect place to sit and grab a bite on our first day in town....and we WILL be back. We even bought a couple shirts to bring home 😀 Even the service was awesome despite being busy. Overall, a really great place for any occasion.

DELICIOUS FOOD at a reasonable price point! Really cozy setting, with friendly and understanding wait-staff. Portion size was great. I ordered the Smokey Mountain burger which was mouth wateringly delicious - cannot recommend that enough. Fries came with the burgers but could be substituted for a range of sides including (from memory) sweet potato fries, salad and soup, butternut squash, or green beans (some at an additional cost). Only downside was that there was a little bit of a wait (~20min) even outside of usual lunch hours but just goes to show how popular they are!

Excellent spot after a long day on the trail. The shrimp po’boy was fabulous. One of the best I’ve ever had. Good service too - friendly host staff and our server, Emma, was also really great. We will be back in the future.

This restaurant was established in 1994 and offers pub and comfort fare. We read the reviews and decided to stop in for lunch. The menu was vast and the interior was cozy. The service was great. I had a couple of drinks which were made well. One was essentially a spiked Arnold Palmer, delicious. We had Philadelphia sushi roll for an appetizer, random but fresh and delicious. Then I saw another patron eating wings so I was influenced. Those wings were so good! Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My family also enjoyed their meals. I definitely recommend this spot!

We didnt wait for a table right at lunch time. They were busy. Took a minute for our waitress to come over. Our food was good. I got the pesto chicken salad and fries. Would recommend both. My friend got a sushi role and sweet potatoe fries. Both looked very tasty. Atmosphere was welcoming and a little different. But would highly recommend

I went in alone and got a nice seat in their dining room. My server was very nice and checked on me. I ordered a personal Alfred Hitchcock pizza. It was delicious! It has cute decorations! Lots of historical ski photos on the wall. Hannes Schnieder and a big one of Cranmore's Ski Mobile.

We chose this place for our lunch during the trip in North Conway. Loved their Lobster Rolls and Clam Chowder! I was skeptical when reading some of the reviews for this dish. Yet, I decided to try it anyway, because why not! Best decision I said. Fresh and juicy Maine lobster with perfect dressing (oh and generous portion, too!) as well as creamy and well-seasoned clam chowder. The service was good also.

Not going to lie, we picked this place during our White Mtn trip because our last name is Delaney. I was hoping I wouldn’t be let down. Far from it! The food and service were amazing. We had a Cesar salad (this is not traditional and our waitress made sure we were aware) which had a twist but was great. My wife and I split the swordfish sandwich and the Po Boy. Both of these were delicious! The homemade sweet potato fries - yum! Of course we had to leave with some swag bearing our name as well. Seriously though, maybe I was biased by the name but the food is great at this local establishment. Give them a try!

Delaney's Hole in the Wall absolutely delivered. I ordered the Surf & Turf Burger and honest-to-God it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and the combo of the seafood with the burger just worked way better than I expected. The whole vibe in here feels local and comfortable, like the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately want to come back to. Service was quick and friendly too. If you're anywhere near the area, this place is 100% worth stopping in for--especially that Surf & Turf Burger. I'd go back just for that alone.

This restaurant is a lot of fun! It's a large restaurant with great pub food, sushi, and seafood dishes. As a nice joke on the name, there is a small hole in the wall that is enclosed that you can see from the outside. The walls are filled with old decorations, TVs, Conway signs and decor. The food was overall good. We started with the Thai salad. It was enormous and comes with pepper, sunflower seeds, cranberry, sunflower seed dried, almonds, and more. This salad was so good that we got it to go the next day! For entrees we got the Texas Tornado sandwich (boneless chicken breast with bacon) and the Surf and Turf Burger. The chicken wasn't dry and the sweet potato fries ($2 upcharge) were good. For the surf and turf, I didn't feel like the lobster blended well with the burger so I took it off and ate it separately. The French fries were finger licking good! Our waitress was really nice and friendly and make some good conversation and recommendations. The wait time for our entrees was a little slow.

I definitely recommend this spot!

Our second stop on our pub crawl. We didn't eat here but the menu looked good. They had a sushi menu and a regular menu. I had the most delicious drink...Flat on your face...but I didn't fall on my face afterward. Lol. Irish pub...cozy.

Take out from Delaney's was amazing! I think they finally changed their chowder recipe because it was so much yummier than the last two times we got it. Hopefully this chowder recipe sticks around! Lobster roll is stuffed and so good!

I've been coming to North Conway forever and I'm surprised I've never been here! The decor of the place is great, very homey with kitschy woodsy accents. There's even an actual "hole in the wall." It's a nice touch! I tried one of their homemade sodas, which was pretty good! I didn't get to enjoy it with my meal however because the service was really slow. Maybe I was just starving, but the food felt like it took absolutely forever to arrive. It was good at least, although I wish the Farmer's Grill sandwich was a handheld rather than open faced but I survived. Flavor- wise, it was great! And the sweet potato fries were excellent. If I were braver I would've tried their sushi, and my family actually wanted to come back here during our visit so I would've tried it then- but we didn't make it back. But I definitely would come back!! There is also a great parking lot and it's right on the main strip there in North Conway so it's super convenient.

We haven't been to Delaneys in a few years....but glad we stopped back in! As with a typical North Conway spot - super busy on during February vacation - but we didn't mind the wait. We sat in the quieter room near the bathrooms...service was good! My favorite thing was the Thai chopped salad - delish!!

Visiting from out of state and was recommended to go here for dinner. Busy Friday night but we only had to wait about 25 minutes for our party of 4. Menu was interesting as it had a mix of a lot of things, pizza, burgers and sushi! Our server was patient and attentive but nothing over the top. Food was good l, it did take a little while to our app to come out but understandable as it was busy. The cheesy garlic bread was tasty. Ordered the blue cheese burger and it was cooked perfectly juicy and so tasty. Someone else in my party ordered a pizza which was okay, a little too greasy for my taste. Kids meals were good and came out quickly which was much appreciated. Very local tavern decor and feel to the place. A little loud but nothing too crazy. Would recommend if in need of a spot and in North Conway.

We had a long wait (about 45 minutes) and it was only 5:15 on a Thursday. Luckily they have a waiting area with benches and they give you a buzzer. The menu is big and portions bigger. The staff was fantastic (Allison) and good with our son. We started with the cheesy garlic bread...YUM!!! I had the Caesar salad pasta meal, definitely different but kind of what I wanted...(steak tips and pasta), my husband got the ribs and loved it. We didn't have room for dessert, but would go back. In the future we would go earlier, the hardest part was the waiting.

Ambiance is very much a local tavern, service was good. Food was okay, nothing to rave about. Drink was strong but very sweet.

This easily was a top 10 for me. The decor gave a very small town bar feel. You could tell that the locals frequent. The service was adequate, nothing over the top. The food was out of this world, the best thing we had was the fried Green beans. The batter that they used to fry the green beans had a hint of heat which was perfect. The ribs would not stay on the bone and the bbq sauce they used was killer. My wife enjoyed her salad, it wasn't show stopping but still good

Came on a recommendation, and had a good time! Their soups was great, the highlight of our lunch - loaded baked potato soup that was on special that day was soooo yummy!! Salad was good too, enjoyed my experience here!

Such a strange place that I now adore. Who would have ever thought about getting sushi at a self proclaimed whole in the wall that mostly serves American bar food. But god, the sushi was good. It was really good. And I'm picky with my sushi. Perfect cuts, great rice, tasted fresh, 10/10. My gf got the chicken Caesar and she loved it. Service was quick and the place is a traditional American bar place Was really happy we ended up eating here

Whenever we visit North Conway in the summer, you can't get near this place. Visiting in January, it was still busy, but we were able to snag a spot in their parking lot and pop in without any trouble getting seated. The environment is great for families. The tables are covered with paper you can color on. The menu had quite the range of choices, making it easy to please all of our different palettes. A sushi menu was the biggest surprise of all. My son (8yrs old) and I both got pizzas. He's very picky and just sticks to cheese, while I'm more adventurous and was excited to try the Maui Wowi, which was a twist on a Hawaiian pizza. These were about 10-12 inches in size, thin crust. I was able to eat it all (started on an empty belly) but he had a couple of slices leftover. My daughter enjoyed the Texas Tornado Chicken sandwich but did comment that she felt the chicken was kind of under seasoned and she felt it would have been better fried. We all got root-beer to drink and thought it was pretty cool that it was made by Delaney's. For being in a touristy part of town, the prices weren't too steep. We would definitely return again.

Great food and service. Local beer selections. We had a Lobster Burger, Veggie Lobster Burger and Sushi. Everything was delicious.

On our trip through New England, there have been hits, and there have been misses. Delaney's was a big hit that came in clutch after several misses. The seafood pasta was fantastic, and the lobster roll and chowder combo for $28 was a a holy grail order. It was coastline quality seafood, with a generous portion of lobster, for a more than reasonable price for both items. The mozzarella sticks we started with were great as well. Additionally, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Our server was very kind and personable. Thanks Delaney, for lunch and for being part of making N Conway an unexpectedly pleasant surprise.

The sushi here is awesome!!! They also have great burgers and steak. Ice cold bottled beer and an amazing selection of other adult beverages as well. Great food and friendly staff.

Sad I didn't stop in sooner. We've been going to North Conway for years and always drove by. We stopped in for the first half of the Super Bowl (2025 ). The food was amazing and I was really surprised by the quality of sushi. Yumm! Warm cozy NH vibes, friendly service and nice bar area. Can't wait to go back.

Editing this because why the hell did we give it four stars in the first place... just look at this pasta. Gross

Absolute 10/10 experience. Food was amazing (including the sushi!), atmosphere was awesome, service was excellent and the price wasn't bad at all for a party of 6. Would definitely recommend checking this place out to anyone considering!

Delaney's Hole in the Wall is the poster child for the depressing "tavern-food" scene. With all due respect the staff works hard, and they were quite verbally welcoming to the mass influx at opening time, and they have to deal with a constant mob scene which is no picnic. But be that as it may, it is beyond me why anyone would choose to pay money to eat here. I got the Bacon Blue Burger which was a dud in all ways. The bun was stale and dry. I suspect the staff probably never bothered to wrap up the bag of buns and thusly making all stale. The patty was dry as can be and utterly flavorless (chopped sirloin was boasted on the menu but it was just awful) and the blue cheese was just a few crumbles and far too little to even be detectable taste wise. And it was like 15 bucks. This burger was not "designed" for any positive end-quality result. You simply you get what you get: a waste of money and a lousy meal. The Chicken Fingers were the skimpiest thing I've seen. I actually did a "double take" when they appeared. Literally scraps of chicken each about the size of your little finger and paired with a few slivers of cut celery and carrot -six fingers in total for 13 dollars. The Caesar Salad with Steak Tips was minced up janky yellow and white lettuce and a few things with a couple of tough overcooked tips. I do realize this place does not purport to be farm-to-table gourmet or whatever, but this is basically just carelessly and haphazardly made stuff here and I'm sure "prepared and plated" at a frantic pace. It's loud AF in here too. Stay home and cook or just go hungry and save your money. There is no reason to go out of your way to come here. I do apologize that I have no pictures but trust me on my verbal account. It's food... I guess... NOTE OF INTEREST: I have near 300 YELP reviews, and I have never been to a place with food this poor that has a four-star overall rating. Interesting indeed... maybe people are on an endorphin high and/or extra hangry from skiing? Stay out of Delaney's Hole -you'll feel better about yourself in the morning :)

Basic bar food, but gets crowded. Even mid-week, during peak seasons it gets busy. Waiting at the bar worked fine, but even a table for two took a bit of time. Food was fine, the Farmers Grill was well put together, with notably well cooked bacon.

Dinner at Delanie's was a win! Great variety, friendly service, and the soup of the day -- beef stew -- was hands down the best I've ever had! A perfect cozy meal after a long day in the mountains.

They will only let you be seated if your entire party is present. We were waiting outside for them to open for 15 minutes and then had to sit and wait another 20 for the last of our party to arrive. It seemed like a lot of hoops to jump through just to eat lunch at a restaurant. The food was okay, not overly good or bad. The menu is ample, so there are a lot of options, at least. Our server wasn't friendly, but was proficient. Maybe they were having a bad day. The other staff seemed kind and helpful. The decor was fine. It kind of felt homey. Bottom line, we won't be back since the weird rules made going there feel unwelcoming, and our experience of the food was average.

Awful experience, general manager was unhelpful with resolving issues, food is mediocre. Save your money or go to moat : )

This is one of the more popular food establishments in the area, so be aware you may have a wait! The prices are pretty similar to other places in the area, and in my opinion on the high side for bar food. I would say the salads on the menu are totally worth the price (I often get 2 meals out of an order). For takeout: Place takeout order before 6PM! They do not take other orders after this time since they get busy. It's all indoor seating with a classic bar area and high top tables. The. They have a separate seating section if that's more your style. They have a medium sized parking lot that is almost always full when I pass by. The sushi is priced on the high side, but it's one of the only places that serves it in town. They have both classic and speciality rolls. It was fresh and we enjoyed it, great if you have a craving. I would pass otherwise due to the price. There are several other options on the menu that give way more bang for your buck. **They have GF bread and cider options! However there is not separate prep area so could be a chance of cross contamination.

Just a quick shout out to Delaney's sushi! When you think of North Conway, NH you don't immediately think of sushi! In fact, one might consider eating sushi in the White Mountains as pretty risky. Well those who feel that way will be pleasantly surprised by the excellent and fresh sushi delivered by Delaney's! While we've eaten in the restaurant many times, the other evening I stopped and ordered a couple of rolls to go. The Crazy Jeremy and Lobster Lover rolls were simply amazing! These were special rolls but hopefully they will find their way onto their permanent menu!

Love this place! I'm so glad it's located across the street from my condo, so I can stumble-ina home and not have to drive! lol!

Had the black and blue burger with rice. Perfectly medium rare and delicious. Service at the bar was quick and professional. A VERY busy place! A mix of locals and tourists. Enjoyable vibe. I would go back.

Went here for lunch today. Erin was our server, who did a nice job. I ordered a bacon pizza with extra cheese (both toppings are not even listed on the menu), but Kevin, the cook, made it... and I have to say it was the best pizza I've had anywhere all year. Thanks Kevin, and staff for making Delaney's one of our favorite restaurants in North Conway.

The service is super friendly, portions are more than enough and everyone in our party (7) had good things to say about the food.

There was a long wait (over the time that they gave us an estimate for). But I did love all the food I ordered. The wing was extra crispy and probably my favorite out of the three. I would come back if there was no wait.

Delaney's is my go-to restaurant in the area. Gotta get there early or you'll be waiting, for good reason! The wings may be the best I've ever had, as well as the French Onion soup, its nice and dark, rich and cheesy, as it should be. The dinner salads are huge and very satisfying, and the burgers impress even the pickiest of husbands. And, the service is top notch too!

The burgers at this place are incredible! Our server, while i can't remember her name, was top rate!

Delicious food! My husband had the pyramid roll, and I got the seafood extravaganza!! It was so good, but I do not recommend it if you are spice averse.

Fortunate enough to walk right in and get a seat at the bar area hi top table. (Preferred for us). Waited on almost immediately, server took our drink order. Returned a little while later to take our appetizer order for hot honey wings which were crispy and delicious!! My wife and I both ordered the ABC burger done medium.. both burgers were cooked perfectly with a small order of fries... We always return to Delaney's when North Conway... don't pass it up!! Oh and the onion soup is also fantastic!!

The food is incredible! The menu is quite overwhelming, but in a good way! Everything sounds delicious and you've got it is all - from basic burgs and sandos to uniquely crafted house specials. There's seafood, pasta, meat, and even sushi! I'll admit, I was a little skeptical of the sushi, but wow, did it blow me away. I ordered just one roll, the Christmas Roll (tuna, cream cheese, avocado and topped with tobiko sauce, $9.99) and was amazed by its freshness and smoothness. It all blended so wonderfully. I fully regret not ordering another roll. It would have worth the food coma! Our delightful waitress convinced my husband to try their evening special, a Tex-Mex inspired dish. I couldn't remember the name, but I do remember what was in it (sautéed chicken and shrimp with garlic and salsa on fiesta rice, topped with cheddar and monterey jack, served with white corn tortillas) because I wanted to try and recreate it home. It was absolutely phenomenal. The flavor profile was magnificent! Notes of cumin, garlic and chile powder (ancho?) that delivered a little kick. The dim lightning made for bad pics, but I highly recommend asking for this dish if your in a mood for some bangin' flavor. I certainly will if I'm ever around here again.

We went to Delaney's for dinner on a Sunday night. It was packed with families but they were able to seat us after a short wait. We ordered their famous Buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese which were excellent. For dinner we tried a burger and the seafood extravaganza. The burger was okay fries. The seafood extravaganza was massive with clams, shrimp and scallops. I'd say the pasta was a little over cooked and soggy. We also tried the homemade root beer which was good and their blueberry lemonade cocktail which was ok. I liked that we could draw on the tables. The overall ambiance was fun and casual. Pros: wings, burger, casual quick bite Cons: no air conditioning and pasta/ drinks weren't great

We had a seat at the bar - Great place to watch a game! My Thai peanut chicken salad was delicious!

Place is great. I go once a week, I always order the same salad. This time the ceasar was just all scraps and bottom of the barrel lettuce. The stuff you feed your rabbit. I picked most of it out and left with the remains. You pay of $15 for a small ceasar, make it fresh every time Delaneys.

Ribs, chicken wings and Gorgonzola ravioli were very good. Hot honey sauce was so good we ordered a bottle to go. We recommend with 2 thumbs up

Were up in No Conway this past March and decided to go to Delaney's Hole in the Wall restaurant. I guess they are not kidding with the name "Hole in the Wall"... First of all, we got there maybe a half and hour before close time and the older lady at the hostess desk almost seemed put out that she actually had to seat 10 people for dinner. She was making all kinds of noises and said we are closing in a half an hour. So I asked her can you seat or not? Finally she brought us to a table in a dark corner in the back after going through several rooms. Our waiter who was a very nice man, took our drink orders. One of the people in our party ordered the Cajun Chicken Corn Chowder. They did not like it and honestly it didn't look good to me either. My daughter got a Caesar salad. Horrible salad dressing and all leafy green parts of the romaine. My daughter got the NY Sirloin which she said was tough and full of gristle. Not sure what grade of meat they are giving but must be the bottom of the barrel. It only says "hand cut". You would think for $32.99 they would let you know what you are buying. Most of it went back to the kitchen. I got the Broccoli and Chicken Penne. I figured how can I go wrong with that? Well think again. It was like no other Chicken, Broccoli and Penne I have ever seen. Greasy with probably about a half a jar of "jarred garlic" in it. It almost like it was swimming in some kind of sauce (not sure what was in it besides grease and jarred garlic). What is in the picture is what went back to the kitchen. Funny thing is, if a server takes almost a whole dish back to the kitchen, management should come out to at least apologize for such gross food. I guess this place is a tourist trap and they don't care. I would never suggest anyone go to this place. If I could give zero stars I would.

Great place! Food was super ! Service excellent! Greek salad to die for . Pizza done just right! Love coming here when we are on vacation

Good food and nice atmosphere. I went here after a snowmobiling trip with some friends and it was very welcoming, warm and filling.

The best fried green beans and Honey Hot wings around! The sushi is pretty bomb too! Definitely try this restaurant!

Was up in North Conway for some climbing, and came down the mountain hungry (surprise!). Delaney's was recommended by some other climbers as a convivial place to grab a quick bite. We were greeted immediately and pulled up at a table in the bar with a good view of the game. Very friendly server, very solid food (salmon salad for me, the Smokey Mountain Burger for the one with the death wish ;-)), generally a cool vibe that made us newbies in town feel welcome. I'd say the warmth and vibe are better than the food but still merit a solid five stars.

The food was delicious. Ordered takeout as the place was super busy with 45min wait for dine-in for Sunday lunch time. The restaurant ambiance is nice and seems to have large seating capacity. We ordered a Half order of Baby back ribs (in maple jalapeno BBQ sauce) with sides of mashed potatoes & corn on cob for $23, and Tomato Vodka Penne with scallops $30. Both were delicious. The ribs were cooked right with meat soft and sliding off the bones. The mashed potatoes was a bit dry. The pasta was delicious, a bit too buttery for my linking though.

Must stop when visiting the area! Great bar scene for watching games and they have a little bit of everything; pizza, italian, even sushi! Very affordable as well and the wait is never as long as they say so its definitely worth sticking around for

This place. Where to begin. The view, the ambiance, the service. All absolutely spot on. When we arrived we noticed the wait time, which on a Sunday night in the summer, seemed reasonable at an hour. If there are this many people waiting, there must be a reason for it. Well. I'm so glad we decided to wait. The food is amazing. The portions are generous, and delicious. After a busy day of enjoying all NH has to offer... this place should be on your list. The drinks are cold, reasonably priced, and arrive quickly. The food is spot. On.
