The Scarecrow Tavern

This restaurant started out as a pretty popular place back in the 80’s and 90’s, but fast forward to a couple of years ago it sadly was run down and closed until December 2025 when it reopened! We just decided to give it a try! The decor was clean and fresh with a stylish ski vibe! Big square bar to welcome both visitors and locals! Our waiter was a rockstar and covered the whole restaurant although to be fair it’s a Tuesday- very busy tonight so still a rock star! The food was amazing and for sure this will be one of our new North Conway favorites! To be honest the Scarecrow was not my favorites years ago, but it is now!

I hadn’t been to Scarecrow since I was a kid and the new owners have outdone themselves! The renovations are beautiful and the food was delicious. Our waitress was also incredibly kind. Don’t skip this on your next trip!

Huge side salad, basically a main salad size! The french onion soup was delicious too. The chili was good as well and the mac and cheese was very cheesy with tasty breadcrumbs. They've fixed it up very nicely inside. Lots of TVs for viewing at the bar while also having a nicer vibe without TVs in the separate dining areas.

New restaurant #46*. So, I don't want to give a bad review but I have to be honest. I was excited to revisit the Scarecrow TAVERN since they just reopened maybe a week ago. I used to dine here with my family back in the 90s when we vaca'd to North Conway and fondly remember their Poutine dish. However, tonight's visit was just so so. While I was able to grab a seat at the bar right away, I did have to wait a long, hot minute for a beverage. That said, there WAS only one bartender holding it down for the whole restaurant. But then It also took a while to be able to place AND receive my food order, a Tavern Burger medium-well with fries. The burger came out super medium pink and room temp but still tasted fine, but was served on a cold, untoasted brioche-like bun. Not ideal. The fries were h

The reopening (rebranding?) of The Scarecrow Tavern has been highly anticipated for people who used to frequent its first incarnation as The Scarecrow Pub and Grill. The remodeling is beautiful and everything is clean and well organized. The staff are friendly, we recommend Jimmy, and very much there to make your experience a pleasurable one. The food and drinks were top shelf, and we will be back!!
