My wife and I read the July issue of NH magazine, and saw the Best of NH Editors Choice for "Best Clams Inland" - The Dipsy Doodle in Northfield, NH. It's right off exit 19 of Route 93 - Just below Tilton. She loves fried clams and since I spent my summers growing up at the ocean on the North Shore of Massachusetts, I know good fried clams!

The Dipsy Doodle is a real old style Clam Shack / Dairy Bar Restaurant. You can eat inside or outside, we ate outside because it was a nice day and not too warm.

The clams were Ipswich and the coating was good and tasty, but not too thick to overpower the sweetness of the clam itself. We got the plate, meaning it came with French fries and their homemade Cole slaw. For an extra 75 cents each my wife upgraded to sweet potato fries, and I got homemade onion rings - both were really good.

We also noticed on the menu that their lobster rolls could be purchased cold or hot (drizzled with butter). The people sitting at the next table had ordered them and said they were all lobster, no celery or filler.

We didn't try the ice cream cones but I did have a black and white frappe with my meal and it was thick and tasty.

All in all we would say the Dipsy Doodle was a hit with our family and since it's only a half hour from where we live, I'm sure we will return.
