Menu Highlights:

St. Louis Ribs

The St. Louis ribs are a standout at Putnam’s—tender, smoky, and glazed with just the right amount of tangy BBQ sauce. The meat pulls cleanly from the bone without being overcooked, and the accompanying sides (typically mashed potatoes or fries and seasonal vegetables) complement the dish well. It’s a hearty, satisfying option that feels like real comfort food done right.

Turkey Melt with Avocado

This sandwich is a fresh and flavorful lighter option. Served on grilled sourdough or multigrain bread, the turkey is sliced thick and piled generously, paired with creamy avocado and melted Swiss cheese. The crisp exterior of the bread contrasts nicely with the rich, smooth filling. It’s especially popular at lunchtime and pairs great with a side salad or fries.

Haddock Reuben

A creative spin on the classic Reuben, this sandwich features a well-seasoned, flaky haddock filet in place of the usual corned beef. It’s layered with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing on rye bread. The balance of tangy and savory flavors works surprisingly well with the mild fish. A must-try if you’re a seafood lover looking for something beyond the usual fried fare.

Final Thoughts

Putnam’s Waterview Restaurant is a charming spot for those seeking classic American fare in a picturesque setting. A worthwhile dining destination in Goffstown friendly to kids and adults alike!
