Your desire for a simple yet scrumptious culinary experience will take you through an alleyway into the coziest restaurant in Portsmouth. Sure, you may have to wait outside for a bit since Colby’s Breakfast & Lunch, though modest, is a hit among locals. But once inside, you can peruse the breakfast or lunch menu while sipping on a free cup of coffee.
Colby's Breakfast & Lunch is walk-in to dine-in or takeout joint, no reservations needed. The restaurant has served Portsmouth since 2003 and uses only fresh, locally sourced ingredients to prepare meals for guests.
The brick exterior of the restaurant pales nicely against the yellow interior walls that exhibit various artworks, creating a bright, lively atmosphere. From the earthy tone of the defunct fireplace that matches the furnishings and wood panels on the floor and ceiling, Colby's gives off a homey vibe.
Since Colby's serves breakfast all day every day, try the Eggs Benedict with cornbread, topped with black beans, bacon, and avocado. You can also build your omelet with ham, sausage, veggie bacon, veggie sausage, mushrooms, and a variety of vegetable options.
If you would like to take the traditional route, a hearty cup or bowl of old-fashioned oatmeal will hit all the right spots. But for something more filling yet flavorful, we recommend a breakfast wrap with black beans, avocado, Jack cheese, and eggs. Oh, do not forget to get coffee!
Colby's Breakfast & Lunch serves lunch from 11:30 am to 2 pm, Monday through Saturday. Customers relish The Ruban, which consists of Pastrami, house turkey, and corned beef grilled on marbled rye with Sauerkraut, Russian dressing, and Swiss cheese.
You cannot miss Priscilla's Favorite — a mountain of sautéed onions, peppers, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach grilled on a flour tortilla with cheddar jack cheese.
While Colby’s Breakfast & Lunch does not resemble the fancy restaurants in New Hampshire, the food alone will have you reconsidering your idea of an unforgettable meal. But do not take our word for it, head to Portsmouth right now for a taste test. Just let us know how it goes in the comment section below.
