Our Story
Aaron’s Specialty is a destination restaurant nestled in the small town of Marlow, built on family, food, and the memory of Aaron.
Aaron was known for his creativity, adventurous spirit, and especially his signature hot pepper jelly—a unique blend of sweet and heat that quickly became a favorite among friends and family. His passion for bringing people together through food inspired what we do today.
After Aaron’s passing, our family continued making his beloved pepper jelly to honor his memory and carry on the joy he shared with others.
In 2006, Aaron’s Specialty was born. What started with pepper jelly grew into a welcoming place where good food, ice cream, and meaningful memories came together.
Today, we invite you to enjoy good food, friendly service, and a place that feels like home.
What people are saying
"This is our favorite ice cream stand in NH, actually better than any we have had anywhere and we have traveled to many…. It is soooo good!!! 🍨 The family that runs it are wonderful and so pleasant to their customers. It is very clean and shows pride of ownership. They have great food that always has fresh ingredients. We highly recommend it! 🥰"
I tried the fish and chips today for the first time. It was excellent! Just the right size to save room for ice cream (large)!! There is never a disappointment here! Everything is prepared perfectly. The only dilemma is fretting over what you’re going to have tomorrow. I recommend the grilled cheese, tomato, and bacon Monday thru Wednesday and the delicious seafood Thursday thru Sunday! Great food, great crew, great sunsets, and great place to strike up a conversation with a stranger! Thanks Aarons!
"A hidden gem! Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the raspberry sorbet and anything that has the hot pepper jelly on it! We’ll be back."
"What a nicely operated business. We’ve been going there for ice cream since they started serving and yesterday we finally ordered takeout for lunch. The service has always been great with friendly and polite people. We opted for a grilled chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger for takeaway. Both were real and very well made using high quality ingredients. When I say real, it was a hand cut piece of real chicken like you’d find at most fine establishments or home. Not processed like fast food. The beef for the burger seemed hand formed and real too. So glad we finally orders from here and will try it again.?
