If you are a New Hampshire native, you might agree that we are creatures of habit, to some degree.  That might be part of the reason why when a restaurant closes, we miss it so much.  In many cases, it becomes part of our daily routines and we don't like that to be disrupted, now do we?

It seems like restaurants have been closing left and right just recently, but other places have long been gone and we still think of them.

Yoken's Seafood Restaurant, Portsmouth, NH

THAR SHE BLOW'S! read the sign on Route 1 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  Yoken's seafood restaurant went out of business over 20 years ago, but boy, we still remember the atmosphere and the food.  Both tourists and locals loved the place.

Yoken's had a gift shop where people could buy touristy stuff and get a coin from the Treasure chest.

It was bad enough that we were losing the restaurant, but our Yankee heart couldn't possibly part with the neon sign that lit up Route 1.  There was a petition to keep it after the place closed and eventually, it made it's way back.  The sign is still there at the location where the restaurant once fed so many hungry customers.

Green Ridge Turkey Farm, Nashua, NH

Being from Nashua, NH, I remember this place located in the South End before the Pheasant Lane Mall showed up.  My family hardly ever went there which made it all the more inviting and special when we finally did go through the front doors.  See, my mother was a great cook and turkey dinners were her specialty, so, we never dared eat there.  What if it was better than Mom's.

I'm happy to report that the Green Ridge Turkey Farm restaurant was NOT better than Ella's food, but it was still a great place to eat when Ma didn't feel like cooking.

Here are many other restaurants that have closed in New Hampshire that we miss to this day.  Let us know who we may have missed.
