Kelsey the coordinator was very helpful with the flow of the day and helping us at rehearsal. We gave the inn many tubs of decorations and the staff out together our dream wedding. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding.“

“it's a rite of passage if you go to UNH...

the basement is always chaotic, at least during the schoolyear. it's basically a club. so if you like crowded clubs, definitely come here. one downside is that the toilets in the basement have no dividers, and people make small talk with you as you do your business ?“

“This is a pretty popular place for breakfast I have been here numerous times and I have always had plenty of food the omelettes are very big and very good I always end up taking half of it home. They have the best sour dough bread. The waitstaff are always accommodating and the prices are very reasonable. It's definitely where the local yolks (folks) gather.“

“The location in Stratham, NH, has been my “go to” several times a week since their opening. I live nearby, and can’t help but indulge in the convenience of the location, not only for the great food (top-notch menu and preparation), friendly atmosphere (regular patrons who easily come to feel like family), and a staff that has made me feel like this is my “home away from home”. Special shout out to John, the best, most efficient and attentive bartender that I’ve known in all my years of dining out. And, without a doubt, I must add that Jess is also most delightful in every way. The management, host staff, and endearing wait staff (you know who you are) have made every moment I’ve enjoyed at the 110 Grill in Stratham the best of times. What more can I say? Drop in, often! I recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Imagine walking into a gas station to pick up a drink, opening the door and smelling your grandmother's kitchen? I just had to try the hand battered tenders and bone in fried chicken and potato wedges! While waiting for my lunch regulars came in for sandwiches, roll-ups and cheesesteaks, the special for the day. There were some picnic tables outside but we grabbed our bucket of chicken and took it to go! The chicken was crunchy and crisp while remaining moist on the inside. Such a treat! While the atmosphere is not fancy it's friendly!“

“Amazing food, but even better service. Everyone was so happy there. What a nice change of pace!“

“We tried a restaurant for the first time tonight, Paddy’s American Grille on the recommendation from a friend. Beautiful building with inside and patio dining, another gem in Portsmouth,NH. We were warmly greeted and taken very good care of by Vanessa who was outstanding. The food, drinks, and dessert were all excellent! We’ll be back soon for sure, give them a try.“

“Been enjoying Rogers Restaurant for over 40 years. Nothing like the House Special Pizza and the atmosphere where you feel like family.“

“Local’s has become one of my favorite places to eat on the seacoast! Wings are amazing, drinks are excellent, beer is cold and the pizza is out of this world. Don’t sleep on the salad because they have some real gems. Philly egg rolls are my favorite app too. The best quality is how friendly they are and it truly is a local vibe. I had my mother’s mercy meal there and everything was done with care and to perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate her life. Definitely check them out sometime, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Local’s for being a wonderful business in so many ways!“

“Awesome service! Great food!! We will be back!“

“This place is fantastic. Best breakfast I’ve had since I moved to New England.“

“Service and the crafted cocktails superb. Pleasantly surprised by how quiet the room was with all the tables filled. It was pleasurable to be able to carry on conversation with our table mates. The food was delicious and plentiful: entrees ordered: pork shank, short rib, bolognese, jambalaya - the harissa brussel sprouts outstanding and not spicy hot!“

“The Nook has the best breakfast! Love the outdoor dining during the summer and warm fall days. The pancakes are delicious!“

“An awesome, cozy little spot in Newmarket to grab a bite or see a show. My wife and I have been going there for years now since they started doing Bar Trivia on Wednesday nights. We always looked forward to coming in and getting one of the chicken sandwiches and a beer and doing some triv. It’s always pretty bumping in there at night and the staff are always quick and friendly. We’ve seen a couple of shows there as well and it’s a blast. The upstairs is decked out with couches and chairs to make it a little more intimate. This is one of the coolest spots in the Seacoast area and I’d recommend it to anyone!“

“Great grocery store, restaurants, Movie theater and exercise facilities all walkable from Veridian Residences!“

“Service was great. Several times I've been there and had to send something back. Once was a riblets plate with honey barbecue sauce. A side salad was ordered. Instead got a riblet plate with spicy hot barbecue sauce and fries. I ordered steak and had to send it back repeatedly because it was rare instead of medium, then well done. I gave up sending it back that night and smothered my steak with mashed potatoes... Either someone was new to the job or learned to cook properly.“

“We love Fogarty's for birthday dinners or a nice Saturday lunch. Very large menu with lots of options. Seating is ground level or upstairs, with plenty of tables, and outdoor seating in Summer. Clam chowder, onion rings, and fried scallops are iconic favorites.“

“My daughter, granddaughter and I went there for the first time yesterday to continue with my birthday week. The atmosphere was so inviting and comfortable. The food and drinks outstanding. Thank you for a day.“

“The Applebee's here in Newington New Hampshire is a very nice place to go The atmosphere is always great and your waiter or waitress will be very prompt in asking you if you would like anything to drink and ask if you already to order or do you need some more time in their very understandable. There's several people that I know at the one in Newington for servers in their amazing thank you to the crew at the Applebee's in Newington New Hampshire for making the experience there awesome every time“

“Visited Fury’s for a private event. The food was put together wonderfully and deliciously and everyone was very attentive to our needs. My cocktail as perfect. I remember these old mills (Clarostat) when I was a young girl and I was pleasantly surprised to see how they’ve been transformed! There’s an outdoor deck with picnic tables on the water. If I ever cruise back thru Dover again I would definitely make it a stop to eat and enjoy a cocktail.“

“Great food and drinks! One of our go-to spots and is clearly a local fave.“

“Went on Thursday to meet a friend for a late lunch, I’ve been by the place but never inside. Needless to say I ordered a pizza and its hands down the best pizza i have had as long as I can remember! As we walked out we chatted about this place and now have a great spot to meet for food laughs and to talk about our work. He mentioned he saw a guy a couple of tables down get what looked like an awesome burger so i stopped by today and ordered it and it was just that, awesome!“

“went there for lunch and my server kelly was on point and sweet as pie.“

“They have the best food and very generous portions. Chicken parmigiana is the very very best. Can’t wait to go again and have the steak and cheese“

“The hostess was very nice and sat us with the waitress we asked for. Lynn is great but they all are. We ordered the Ceasars salad with the chicken tenders. The best chicken tenders ANYWHERE. I've ordered tenders many times at longhorn and they are always moist and crunchy. Ive never had a bad meal. Their baby back ribs are out of this world too!“

“We just discovered this spot! Former big lots haha way better then that by far! We didn’t know what to expect for some reason Verizon phone service didn’t work for us so while in the truck couldn’t see the menu etc. so we just went in on a Tuesday around 4pm got menus and then was handed happy hour menus my 9 year old got the taco salad, was missing the taco bowl but made it up with fried tortillas. My son got kids Mac he was disappointed it was Kraft and dry as a box Mac would be! Still he smashed it out. We got 4 happy hour apps and some drinks then we did the all in passes needless to say $200 later with tip our short trip turned into like 5 hours of memories and we have to come back! Worth it and the bartender she was great and on point. We will go back with the kids and without we’ll worth our 45 minute drive and the money!! So much to do for kids and adults being kids again! Thanks“

“the chicken fingers are the best!!“

“Great choice for daily dining! Reasonable prices, good size portions and great flavor!“
