Yoken's Restaurant

Details

Landmark restaurant and function / event hall formerly on the corner of Lafayette (US Route 1) and Peverly Hill roads, Portsmouth, NH.

On June 26, 1947, Harry Yoken and Clarice MacLeod Yoken open Yoken's Restaurant. In 1954, the restaurant expands and Harry MacLeod Sr. joins the business. In 1958, MacLeod Sr. takes over the business with his wife, Ethel, and children. At this time, they expand the restaurant. In 1970, MacLeod Sr. dies and his sons Harry Jr. and Kevin assume operations. In 1988, the MacLeod family adds Yoken's Conference Center and the 121-room Comfort Inn. In 1993, Harry MacLeod Jr. retires. In 2004, Yoken's closes, and it's demolished in April 2005; however, the iconic "Thar she blows!" sign remains for the new plaza now there.
