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 ?“

“We love it here. Great drinks, food, flavors. Go here! Service is great“

Definitely a must try and for me a definite return“

“Tonight we had an amazing experience. Ajia was our waitress and I must say she was the absolute best. From her welcoming personality the moment we were seated to the knowledge and detail she demonstrated about the food and drink menu. Making suggestions and pairing items together perfectly for us. Going above and beyond to listen and truly feel what we asking her. It was on full display. She made the dining experience everything you would wish for. Did I mention how amazing her personality was? Well I will again. She made us feel right at home, just like we were old friends. Every step of the way she went above and beyond to keep the table clean, our drinks filled and to keep a smile on our face. The laughter and smiles were evident at this table. 10/ 10 recommend you ask for Ajia. I know we will.
Thank you for the amazing experience Ajia.“

We look forward to visiting again“

“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!“

“Fantastic place to eat. Fast service, super delicious burgers and fries. Highly recommend. Won't disappoint.“

“Finally got to have lunch here. Don't drive-by as I have been doing. It's not difficult to get to. Just turn your steering wheel!
I'm a hotdog person. Love that they had sauerkraut.
Hope to get back before closing for the winter.“

“one of the loveliest places I have ever seen. the owner is absolutely beyond gorgeous and the whole place is wonderful vibes and cute.“

“Always consistent and hands down the best French onion soup around! 🩷“

“It was great! My husband and I went for our anniversary last night and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was outstanding. I got the ribeye and my husband got the steak tips and they were both delicious. Highly recommend, and we are already planning our next trip in!“

“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!“

“Just went for the first time and sat on the patio on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. SO GREAT. Drinks and food came out so fast, and our server was delightful. Highly recommend, can’t wait to go back!“

“Great course and always in great shape.“

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

“First time at Paddy's. We went for lunch and ate on the patio. Great service from our server Erica. On her recommendation, I had the roasted chicken BLT. Chicken salad was delicious. The cole slaw was also good. Not too much mayo. Husband had the hot n spicy burger with fries. Both great. Will definitey be back.“

“First visit and not the last Great culinary and wine pairing experience. Everything was right and delicious. I loved the kindness and humility of the chef and his team, as well as their real love for the products and willingness to share their passion. Bravo encore“

“Will definetly be back!!! I am in wheelchair a very nice couple let us sit at the table due to the fact the table with chairs would be to high for me, Thankyou to the couple and the fantastic food we will be returning soon!!!!“

“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!“

“The food and drinks were excellent, it’s a fun atmosphere and our waitress Cassie was wonderful.“

“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!“

“Food was amazing. But the staff was not really the greatest. This guy came walking over to me and my friends table told us we cant order at the table because he only wanted us to order our food and drinks at the bar he was wearing sleep short red tshirt and look like he just got out of bed face was very scruffy. We got no drink specials I asked for a greatful dead watched him make it was made very poorly he kept asking my friend over and over what she wanted and didn't know what she wanted she was try to talk because we never been there so we didn't know any drink specials so he kept cutting her off shoves a menu at us we ordered and went back where we wanted to sit. I watched and noticed how customers were going behind the bar putting bottles in the bin the guy left the bar unattended twice. The place ok it was just dark and sad. At lease it was clean nothing like on there website but the food was the only thing great. I would go back if I knew who was a employee and they were nicer and cleaner dressed“

“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!“

“I had not gone since the chop shop. It was beautiful inside. Staff was kind and made you feel at home. Food and drinks came out at perfect speed. My ONLY suggestion not even a complaint is if they had a complimentary bread basket or SOMETHING would be fantastic.“
