Stubby's Diner — Restaurant in Candia

Stubby’s is a no thrill dinner. The building is old and run down, parking lot is dirt or in our case today mud. Your meal is served on a paper plate. We got there around 9:30-10am Saturday. We navigated our way through the mud parking lot. Once inside we waited standing by the door not knowing if we were to wait to be seated, or if we could seat our selves.

What a find!! Right off State Rt 101 and only 3 mins added to our trip time, we saw the reviews and decided to stop. Driving an RV that's towing a car, it can be difficult to find eateries that can accommodate. We were able to park on side of the road right across street and had an easy exit.

Betsy was our waitress and was GREAT! She was efficient and had a terrific sense of humor. David was the cook...an AMAZING cook AND baker - the apple cinnamon muffins were DELISH!! He is doing his father's memory (the diner's namesake) PROUD!

So glad we found this...
