“We order takeout at least once a week. It’s always packed well with everything included. Everything from sandwiches, to tacos, to prime rib is always excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Am a longtime resident, this is a terrific local place! Well established, delicious food, and supportive of community events… lively spot! Attended a great fund raiser today, and my husband had the chili…. said it was the “best ever” , so passing along & I’ll try next time! Food is always good.. eat in or take out. Staff is friendly & attentive… fun stop if you live locally or are passing through & looking for dining place. 😊“

“We moved to NH from Philadelphia 15 years ago. Philly is a great town for food (that’s probably the only thing it’s great for) and while we love most things about NH, the choices for dinning out are definitely not one of those things. Cotton breaks that mold and would stand up to the best of what Philly has to offer. Food, service, and drinks were all top notch!“

“Their lunches are large and great choice of desserts. Always leave very satisfied and full.“

“I love coming out to eat at the Crown. Last night I brought my friend who had never been. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of having the bartenders Tori and Alyssa wait on us. We had the best service and were given recommendations on dinner. And the food was amazing, I love the new things on the menu and I can’t wait to go back and try more!! Thank you for always providing great service :)“

“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!!!“

“Best veggie omelette in the city, looking forward to trying the corned beef reuben!“

“Great service, beer and food!“

“I’ve lived in manchester for years and never realized this amazing little spot was right here. The price point is great and reminded me of the portions and plates I used to get at some of my favorite spots, ( pre Covid). Luv this place, highly recommend checking it out!“

“Great staff and food is always good!!“

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Bedford Village Inn. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The staff leading up to the big day were so kind, organized, and helpful, and the day-of team was just as incredible - attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. The food was amazing, and the venue itself is truly a dream. Every corner of the property is filled with charm and character, creating the most romantic and memorable setting. We already can’t wait to come back for anniversaries at the Tavern - it will always hold such a special place in our hearts.“

“My boyfriend and I went into the Derry location on Wednesday night. We mentioned to our waiter Andrew, that a few weeks ago we were in. We didn’t think that our double points were applied to the paybacks program. He looked into it for us. Turns out, the double points were not applied. He mentioned it to the restaurant manager and had the points promptly adjusted to our account. Thank you Andrew. We appreciate you“

“Always good service and food“

“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.“

“Well, I had the best chicken Queso Dias, made by an amazing up and coming star Amy (on the name tag) and the burger and fries were cooked to perfection by a "short" order cook Kaityn a young woman who is "growing." and rising star. or should I say trying to reach for them. and her amazing young assistant Chris who is going to be a great sous chef one day. It is a college Dining Hall, but any one can go and eat there, they do not accept cash though so bring you card.“

“Don't take the stars as a total while I explain. The shop is difficult to find and doubles in its location, inside a building that looks like suites of big business and should I go in? Well, of course you should! Owner is very friendly and makes a great sandwich and very friendly. If you haven't stopped in yet, you should... then tell your friends

Parking: Plenty of spaces with remote workers“

“Every time we’ve eaten there the food has been excellent. The service prompt. I’ve been multiple times and never had a bad experience.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our son recommended Tucker’s & boy are we glad he did!!! Friendly staff, clean inside, great portions & the food was absolutely delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back!!“

Will be using these guys for all my catering needs ! 5 STARS ID GIVE 10 IF IT WERE AN OPTION“

“We were celebrating my husband’s recent successful cancer operation and we ran into Caesar, one of the owners, at the Amherst venue. He took the time to show us around and sit with us a bit! The staff was setting up for a wedding too. Caesar and his staff throughout the whole venue were so warm and friendly. Just such a beautiful and unique venue♥️Thank you Caesar and your amazing staff…truly memorable.“

“Always a great atmosphere, the best service, food and portions are always amazing. We absolutely love this place.“

“Let’s start with the bartender. Clearly having a bad night or bad life. Attitude was clearly needing an adjusting. Been here several times and never had an issue until tonight. Usually I will leave $20-30 in tips, I wasn’t leaving more than $5 but my fiance felt bad. Leave your problems at home rookie.

Food - great
Atmosphere - nice enough
Service? Garbage. Just this specific bartender. Got mad I asked for a kids chicken tender with the fries. Not even McDonald’s judges when adults get a happy meal.

- update - will not return. Owner just proved my point in their reply. Bartender cant control their emotions in a public service industry. Instead asks me to re think my review. I would recommend you re think your hiring process. Plenty of the bartenders work under pressure just fine. Grown woman with the attitude of a child.

*I’ll give 4 stars because this specific bartender doesn’t represent the other bartenders in the establishment.*“

“I hired Caroline’s to supply all of the food for my Dads end of life celebration after he passed away. I spoke with Laurie and asked her if they could accommodate a backyard bbq style menu which she assured me they could. I had specific food requests all to which they supplied without any questions or issues. The food arrived hot, delicious and better than I had imagined! Laurie was a pleasure to talk to when creating the menu of my choice and working out all the details for delivery. JJ made the actual delivery and was amazing with communicating to us about his arrival time and very professional when he arrived to my home. I would highly recommend Caroline’s Fine Foods to anyone! Thank you Caroline’s for making a somber day easier on me!“

“Nice local spot with good food and a fantastic draft beer selection. Everything is good but I really miss the excellent fish and chips they removed from the menu sometime ago. Their new location is a big upgrade from their old spot down the road.“

“I was in the area and there was the Really Big Meal Deal that I took advantage of. The Big Cluckin' Crispy Chicken 🐔 Sandwich 🥪 was good but fell apart while I was eating. I had unsweetened iced tea for my drink.
Service was great and the inside looks good 👍. The bathroom was in good shape. I was underneath a speaker 🔊 but the music was not loud.
If you like Applebee's, I recommend this one!

“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 .“

“Cozy place, pleasant experience (going over 20 years now). Fast, friendly and quality service and good food (unlike some of the other places that keep opening and then closing on or around Elm St. or in the Mills. This place is a semi-hidden gem, a landmark in Manchester everyone should remember when their belly 'speaks' to them. We get breakfast and lunch about 3-4 times per week. No other place is better or even close, not even A-to-Z well-known chain places...
Omelettes are unmatched, lunch sandwiches are of a consistent deliciousness. We never had a sub-par order in over 20 years... Does it not speak for itself? We highly recommend it hands down.“

“Dinner was fresh and delicious!“

“I have come here a couple of times with my husband. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. I'm still being introduced to other gay bars around the area. This one so far, is the best. Drinks are always "stiff". As well as I'm sure others. Keep up the good work guys“

“Great place to be outside, enjoy the weather, have great food and drinks! Kids love the space, the food and fun! The service team took great care of us!“

“Great unpretentious taphouse with awesome food and the bartender Krystalyn is AWESOME! We had the short ribs which were spectacular! We were visiting from Cape Cod and love this place! The manager Ryan is extremely friendly and welcoming. Our new favorite pub!“

“Came to Thirsty Moose Taphouse to kick off my graduation week/weekend! Had 2 types of beer, poutine, and fish and chips. Abigail was a great server and this place gets a very big "thumbs up" from me!“

“Very nice stay. Up to date place with great food, friendly staff and clean rooms with comfortable beds. Added bonus of baseball park outside the back lobby! Close yo everything with a nice view of the city. Very welcoming landscaping and amenities“

“Steak Tips and Cheese, BBQ Beef or Hot Pastrami, all with shaved parmesan and fried onions, are my favorite subs. Plus ... they offer gluten free now. A side of fries is sometimes a tasty way to round out my lunch. Nadeau's has been around for so long, I can't remember when they weren't there. Subs have always been topnotch. I usually order take-out and my order is always ready on time, even when they are super-busy bees. Very definitely recommend!“

“Sky is the best bartender!“

“Everything that comes out of the kitchen is amazing! The staff is awesome and friendly.“

“My husband attended an event and was blown away by how poor the food and service was. The event coordinator and my husband both told the waitress my husband has a severe dairy allergy. First he was served a Caesar salad with caesar dressing and cheese, which he obviously can't eat. The waiter took it away and did not offer anything else. My husband did go ask for a plain salad and maybe olive oil and balsamic vinegar. He got a bowl of romaine and croutons (he avoided the croutons as they often contain dairy). The waitress did bring the balsamic after the salad was eaten. The main course they gave him sweet potatoes with cream. My husband did give the waitress the sweet potatoes and she was going to bring him some more vegetables but never did. The water glasses for the room were only filled once. Many other participants complained about the food as well. The broccolini was very undercooked and over spiced. Staff did not clear the salad plates before serving the main course and participants piled the dishes between them on the tables. The room was also quite cold. My husband keeps our house at 57-62 so for him to say it was cold is very unusual.“
