“My husband took me to Cotton last night for my birthday. The owner was at the host stand and she was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our server scooter was an absolute sweetheart. She was just the right amount of attentive. Shrimp appetizer was so delicious and our steaks had so much flavor and were cooked to perfection(med-rare) cocktails were great too! Between the amazing meals we had an excellent service I cannot wait to come back here. Thank you so much for such a great birthday experience!“

“We picked up 3 Hot and Ready platters for my son birthday party today and not only were they SOOOO GOOD but they were also on time and ready for us when we got there! We got the 5 cheese, bacon, and taco Mac and cheeses and they were definitely a hit at the party! Thank you for providing a delicious meal for everyone today! We will definitely consider doing it again when we have another party!“

“Everything is absolutely delicious, fresh, and served piping hot! They were able to help my husband enjoy multiple dishes without any heat, as he is extremely sensitive. On the flip-side, whenever I ask for my dishes to be "extra extra spicy", they are never afraid to serve it up! Lots of fresh ingredients, the herbs and spices, and such fast service. We are so relaxed when we dined there tonight. The server gave us a nice little gift, which we were very touched by his kindness. We are definitely coming back to try other dishes, including more momos!!!“

We also got shakes, which we loved. My wife wasn’t as enthusiastic about the chicken, but liked everything else. I’ll be back!!“

Really friendly staff with a decent sized outdoor seating section and no wait on a Saturday night. The kids were excited about the bonus cookie that came with their meals, and they even had a menu for our pup with multiple choices which I haven't seen anywhere else! The crispy chicken salad was delicious. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!“

“Came for Mother’s Day brunch and the food was awesome! Great staff and great food, thank you!“

Cathy was great to work with and everything met or exceeded our expectations - from the wonderful wait staff to the buffet, dance floor, etc.! (There is also no rental fee, which is great!). We would definitely book another event here again!“

“Tried based off a recommendation from a friend. Glad we went. The food was great, nice limited menu so there is attention to detail with every plate. The outdoor seating(with heaters) was relaxing, lean back look up and enjoy a glimpse of the stars. And lastly the drinks were the cherry on top. I highly recommend giving The Hill a try whether it be in the next to weeks or when they reopen in the spring.“

“Food is so good friendly staff like to always support the small places this is a awesome place I highly recommend it definitely be back“

“Always a lovely lunch, the ingredients are fresh and lots of options! My sandwich - the California Turkey Club - was enough for almost two meals 😋 the side of Brussels sprouts was delicious, with plenty of balsamic. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Wish I had discovered this restaurant a year ago when i first came to Derry, I'm going to miss it when I go.“

“Wife and I have been going for years. Always a great experience. Food, service and price have always been great. Lisa who has been our server many times is always polite, competent, fast, efficient and even remembers our likes and dislikes.“

“Thank goodness they reopened. It’s the only restaurant prior to going through security. If you’re picking up someone it is great to have a place to relax and enjoy a bite or a drink. The breakfast panini was delicious with tater tot type hash browns.“

“I didn't mark atmosphere because I mostly do delivery. The food is always fresh, generous portions and comes quickly. I recently ordered the new chicken Parmesan with fettuccine. I can't have cream so I called and asked them to switch it for marinara which they did. They were great about it and the food was delicious. The chicken was a very thick and juicy piece, the bread crumb coating was perfect. I wish you had the option to do this on their website but that's corporate's fault, not the chain or franchise. I used to be a restaurant manager for a chain, I know how this works. I would love to see more options for those of us who have dietary restrictions though. Everything is slathered with cream and cheese, EVERYTHING. Not just this restaurant, it's everywhere. It's so difficult for someone like me to eat out. But they were very nice on the phone and willing to switch it out for me with no issues. I have ordered from this location many times and will continue to do so. The food is always great.“

“We were at the Hooksett store on Saturday evening (February 4th.) There was an incident that requied the evacuation and closure of the restaurant. In the process of leaving the restaurant I dropped my phone. One of the hostesses or managers (I think her name was Lilly) went back inside to find it for me. Thank you very much to the restaurant staff and management; you were very professional and went above and beyond.“

“Wow! The Puritan Backroom was out to impress yesterday. We chose to order from them for our daughter and son in laws “I Do BBQ”. So much food! So delicious! Everyone was very happy with everything. There was way more than expected! Thank you!“

“My boyfriend and i ordered dinner through GrubHub from the Pint Publik House. The meal was delivered still piping hot. Each dish was fantastic. The chicken tenders were juicy and very flavorful. My boyfriend loved the curried goat! Highly recommend this dish. Very tender and full of flavor. We also ordered jerk pork and if we closed our eyes you would have sworn we were actually in Jamaica. All the sides were really good from the ceasar salad, rice and peas to the sweet potato fries. The restaurant manager took the time to call us and let us know that the food container tops might be loose. He went above and beyond to make sure we were aware as we opened the containers. We look forward to ordering again!“

“Great manager. We held a party for 30. Food was wonderful and the manager Paige provided great service.“

“the fish tacos were good.Friendly service.“

“I would like to thank the staff at Queen City Cupcakes for the best experience ever. They are so friendly. From start to finish the experience was top notch. We chose the 3dz cupcakes, of which we had three flavors with 3 different icings. The cupcakes were so moist. The designs were exactly how we thought in our minds.“

“Went out to dinner with the family. Amazing atmosphere, delicious food and Nate was a phenomenal server. He was very attentive and made sure we were happy throughout the whole time we were there. We will be back!!“

“this is our first visit here and will not be our last definitely Did Not disappoint. Big thumbs up !! Waitress Megan was awesome!! Robin Nightingale Salem NH“

“I organized a football team event for 50 held at the Boneyard (their function place), and everything could not have been more perfect. We upgraded to include the ribs which was such a good idea. The reports from the team were all positive, it blew away the Italian meal from the prior year. There was plenty of leftover food which the athletes were so excited to take home. 5 stars. Highly recommend!“

“They go above and beyond and the food is awesum and also the breakfast is awesum. you gotta try it. and i'm sure you will be happy.“

“Came in with my dad today because it was close to the VA. What an excellent lunch! Best onion rings ever!“

“Food was great and the staff was so friendly!!! We had Natasha as a server and she was amazing. If I wasn’t traveling from Florida I’d be back for sure. Thanks again yall!“

“Visit was walk-in on a Sunday around 1040. It was very busy with just over an hour wait. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Food was served fresh, accurately and no issues what so ever with our party of three. Try the Drop Biscuits and Gravy. Recommend checking the restrooms every 30-45 mins when it gets busy; trash was full and floor was wet.“

“Have eaten there for 65 years and I always leave full and very content ?.“

“The food is delicious however this is the 2nd time we’ve picked up an order and we paid for something we did not get ! Very frustrating that someone is not paying attention !“

“Wonderful with catering. This is my third time getting Heat and Serve Family meals. Wonderful every time“

“Absolutely a great place to go ! Atmosphere, Service, ….. and appetizers and entree’s were excellent. Drinks they will create per your request. Hat’s off to the Service and the Chef’s ! 👍👍👍👍👍 Must sit near the guitar guy in the bar area ! Great to have a fun, relaxing, dinner listening to a selection of the best of the 70’s, 80’s,90’s, to current .“

“Great food and service every time.“

“Last night, we visited the Foundation Tavern in Derry, NH. The parking lot was small and tight, which may make alternative parking options preferable. Upon entering, the music volume was high; as a hearing aid user, I found the sound sensitivity increased. The hostess confirmed there was live music and accommodated our request to be seated away from it, so we sat in the main dining room.
Our server introduced herself and promptly took our drink order, despite the dining room being busy and her serving alone. Having dined at many restaurants over the years, we were understanding of any minor mistakes. I requested a different bottle of wine after initially ordering the wrong one, and the change was handled without issue.
When she inquired about appetizers, we declined and ordered dinner. My wife chose the burger, while I selected the Bolognese. Our meals arrived quickly; however, my wife's burger was served without a bun. This was due to the assumption that her side salad indicated a low-carb preference instead of fries. Morgan, our server, checked in and corrected the plating promptly. My wife noted that the burger was especially well-prepared, and I found the Bolognese comparable to those of high-end Italian restaurants.
The evening was enjoyable overall. Other customers contributed to a positive atmosphere, including a nearby birthday celebration and a guest complimenting my wife's outfit.
Pricing was about 20% higher than average local restaurants, which we considered justified based on the quality provided.
We will visit again. Probably on a Wednesday night because they offer half price bottle of wine with dinner and we are wind drinkers.“

“Easy access off Route 93. Great place to stop for dinner.“

“excellent, grilled chicken Cesar salad“

“I was just here today, among many other times, but I have so much respect for the owner and her staff. The food is quick, the drinks are good, but due to the location, there is an influx of hungry folks. A gentleman came in asking for French fries, although I offered to pay for his fries but was asked not to, the way this woman handled the situation was impeccable. She treated him like an actual human when most do not. She packed up his fries, got him anything he needed, and even threw in some extra fries for him to have. I have NEVER had a bad experience here and this just solidified for me the integrity and honor this owner has. Love being here!!!!“

“Ate there for the first time today. Food and service was great. If you want food like your grandmother cooked, then this is the place. 5 Stars“
