50 Best American Restaurants in Manchester

“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!“

“Great food!!! Love the staff and atmosphere!!“

“Just had my first meal here and wow! The food was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing. It’s a modern but traditional setting and very comfortable. Will absolutely come back again. Probably next week!“

“The food and drinks were great and my server, Primrose, was so friendly!! I will definitely be back especially since there’s outdoor seating when it’s nice out.“

“Not just a simple Lunchroom Chow Line. The various Mac & Cheese Versions that I have tried, have all been shockingly good....that was my failure for underestimating. The flavor and the ability to mix common dinner entrees with macaroni is awesome to savor. Each time I go, I try a new dish and as mentioned, I have been disappointed even once.

Even management played a part in the overall experience. The way I witnessed management talk to and push the employees was great, and you can tell that the employees are happy - and appreciate the level of respect they are given. Kudos to management.“

“Went here late night after a concert at SNHU arena. Great service even at 11pm. I absolutely loved the chicken, the crinkle cut fries, and the white bread. The Dave’s sauce was insanely good too. We also got shakes, which we loved. My wife wasn’t as enthusiastic about the chicken, but liked everything else. I’ll be back!!“

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

“The food is so crazy delicious new favorite place“

“I absolutely love this place and all they're food is amazing the only complaint is that nobody ever answers the phones when you want to order I've called and it's taken me over an hour to order food.“

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

“I use to go to Belmont once a week. The food is fantastic. In the last 3 years, I have developed a gluten allergy. They have food that is gluten friendly but not gluten-free. I have to be very careful of what I order knowing some cross contamination may occur. This was my first visit in years and the food was still great“

“Always good service and food“

“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“

“Chef mark’s food is impeccable and the bartender is beautiful inside and out.always a fantastic time! And where do you go and get 5 star meals on the house!? An absolute hidden gem!! I Love you Mark and Lisa all your hard work payed off!this place needed you both! And the drinks?omg best margaritas!!! You ask for excellent food and drinks and you shall receive!!the bar is classy quaint and is perfect for date nights or just to relax and exhale from a long day!! Highly recommended!!!“

“Good food and atmosphere - can't go wrong.“

“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.“

“Had to take my daughter to the Elliot and was looking for a lunch place nearby. We had some smoothies and Greek salad - all amazing.! The salad was the best we've ever had with the grilled Romaine hearts making it extra special. Next appointment is in the morning, so we'll be returning for breakfast. Can't wait!“

“Great food, awesome customer service and beautiful sceneries.“

“the fish tacos were good.Friendly service.“

“I wanted to update my review, I spoke with the kitchen manager John today and after speaking with him I am ready to give this establishment another try and put the misunderstanding behind us. I appreciate him reaching out to me and not only listening to my complaints but found a more than fair resolution. If the food is half as good a John's customer service I'm sure it will be great. Thanks again for reaching out!“

“A*. Would definitely recommend“

“Ordered four different flavors for our wedding and they were amazing, everyone loved them! Staff was great, showed me how to store overnight and helped load up my car. Highly recommend!“

“We visited The Pint on a Sunday, and we enjoyed the $3 bloody Mary and a burger. Highly recommend. 4 stars because we were there at 12p, restaurant advertised open at 12 and the waitress insisted they were open at 1230. No big deal, just felt like we were intruding.“

“Called as soon as place opened for the day to make a reservation for Monday evening. Hostess put me on hold, told me first available to sit is 7:45 pm tonight. Little late for kids to wait at home, so we had dinner elsewhere and came to sit at bar and have a night cap and desert. When we came in there close to six staff crowded behind the Maitre D's station. We asked if we could sit at the bar. They said no problem, then one of the staff followed behind us at a distance. Maybe to make sure we got to the bar? There was only one bartender and she was very busy. There were 11 people at the bar. So took awhile for bartender to get to us. My wife ordered a drink, I ask for a decaf expresso with a shot of Ameretto. Bartender gave me a great pour of almoretto in a snifter glass. The decaf regular coffee came few minutes later. I was hoping for expresso at a place like this but, whatever. The one bartender seemed to get into a quiet disagreement with a manager. We ordered the pumpkin cheesecake which was amazing. The building is amazing, deserts amazing also. But service, and staff planning is just not up to what I was hopeing for.“

“It is a great little diamond in the rough. It is a walk up counter service with seating area. I had the fresh fish sandwich and coke slaw. The fish was prepared in house. It was very fresh and good. It is a huge piece for $15. I thought it was a little pricey but worth it. The coke slaw was the sweeter type which I prefer. My friend got the chicken nuggets which were also house made and very juicy.
It was a nice experience“

“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!!!!“

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

“Celebrations catered our private, outdoor estate wedding last month and we can't say enough great things about their service! We worked directly with Amanda during the coordinating process & she was beyond helpful, knowledgable and accommodating. The staff present and food provided during our event was exceptional and they were easy to adapt to working at a new "venue" for the first time.

We cannot recommend their services enough!“

“The environment is fantastic. Music every night excluding Monday, Free self serve popcorn, a upstair area that has a foosball table a pool table and buck Hunter. The kitchen is usually open until 11. Great pub food and reasonably priced drinks.“

“Food - Breakfast cooked with extra care
The chef knows his ingredients!

Service - You'll never find better

Atmosphere - Basically classic 90's Friends

This is the place, guy.
Go here.
Eat breakfast.
Be happy.“

“My son took me here for my Birthday last night. The food was far better than I was expecting. We both had the Prime Rib and it was tender, melt in your mouth goodness. The service was excellent, and the Line dance, by the staff, in the aisle was a great addition. I have eaten in a lot of steak houses in the Southwest and this ranks with the best. Great Job, I will be back.“

“Great food and great waitress“

“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“

“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!

“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!“

“I just moved to Manchester and was looking for a new spot. Rounders is amazing. Very comfortable. Staff is attentive, personable, and very friendly. Remembered what I drink after the 1st night. The food is 5 star. Fairly priced. Great serving size. Highly recommend coming here. You will not be disappointed.“

“Great atmosphere, bartender and food!“

“Dinner was fresh and delicious!“

“My 9 year old has a peanut allergy, causing a lot of anxiety when it comes to eating anywhere besides home. Tonite we found ourselves at longhorn. I can’t believe how kind and understanding the service manager was! Holly met us at the table sat right next to my son, and handed him a binder with the whole menu and all kinds of tools to help him feel comfortable. She took out two boys on a tour of the kitchen and made them feel so important. A this was a huge night for our whole family! Thank you so much Holly and the rest of the staff at the longhorn for turning what would have been a rough night into a great dinner out. We really can’t thank you enough! We will definitely be back!

Dietary restrictions: Nut allergy

Kid-friendliness: To come out in the busiest night I’ve seen, and take the time to help my son with an allergy feel safe meant the world to us. I can’t explain how much that means to us. She gave him an allergy binder and showed both our kids the kitchen to show him he was safe. Way beyond customer service! Holly is an amazing person!“

“I am a repeat customer and have never had a bad meal. The food, service and price are all awesome.“

“Just got Door Dash from here. Empanadas with chipotle chicken, grilled chicken tacos, and pequeño stew chicken. All amazing, but possibly the best empanadas I've ever had. Definite repeat customer.“

“ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength,“

“I’m surprised to see so many negative reviews of this place. I always look forward to flying out of MHT just so I can go here. The service is always excellent and while I don’t love everything on the menu (I find the tortillas often stale for the tacos) the burgers and fish and chips don’t disappoint. But again, the service is what brings me back — always friendly and attentive. Maybe it’s the difference between sitting at the bar (as I do) and table service, but I’ve never had the trouble others describe.“

“Yo I met the coolest gal tonight thank you Gabby for being so kind to this young lady she went home changed and met me randomly to have my first prom date in the history of weddings best believe I took a pic or two 3rd ones a charm gtg grab cigs next door where they sell CUBAN CIGARS THEY ARE JAZZY

Kid-friendliness: 21 over“

“Never had Nadeau's of Goffstown sandwiches ever until my girlfriend, who has been in Manchester all her life, was able to convince me to go. I had the Italian sub while she had the steak tip sub and both were outstanding however the only thing I would say is the onion rings were not hand cut or hand-battered which is disappointing but other than that everything was great.“

“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“

“Great food wonderful staff!“

“Went for a show. Lots of good stuff going on. Bar / wait staff were attentive and friendly too. There was live music on the patio and stand-up comedy in the sub-basement performance space. I'd suggest checking their website and seeing what you like the look of and head over for that. I didn't eat so can't comment on the chow but if looks are anything to go by you'll be fine.“

“Great food and great waitress“

“Very good salad. Friendly service“
