The burgers were amazing! The staff was super friendly and attentive. An awesome place to grab a drink and food and relax. Music selection was great. Overall great experience! Can't wait to see what is on the new menu!

Awesome food , drinks and service. They are in the middle of a refurbishment but in the area we sat the ceiling fans and next to the ceiling lights causing a strobe light effect. I don't have any light sensitivity normal but I had to swap seats with my partner to stop the migraine I was getting from the flashing lights. I hope this is fixed in the new dining room.

Wow… the gumbo (I had the combo chicken and shrimp) was truly excellent. Impressive, even. I paired this with a couple of hurricanes (the drink made famous by Pat O’Brien’s, which were also excellent).

Pleasant, welcoming, folks at the bar. The interior isn’t anything special, but if the food is all as good as the gumbo… it’s worth a visit.

Definitely recommended.

Tried this restaurant based on positive google reviews. Drinks were good but food was not good. They were out of half of the menu.
I finally ordered the steak frites-it was overcooked and the flavor was not good. Hubby got the fried chicken. That was much better than then steak. Although the manager came over to ask a question about my dinner, once we got our food no one came to ask if ok, no one asked if we needed anything or wanted another drink. Waiter was dressed in a sweatshirt and shorts and told us at the end he was usually the bartender. Wanted to try a new place but real bummer on this one. Won’t be returning.

The branding of this restaurant/bar makes it look like a vibey place, but honestly we found it to be a bit of a dive…

Rarely give 5 stars. This is a little slice of the south smacked in downtown Manchester! Helluva menu. The alligator on the stick was a pleasant surprise. Served Andouille Sausage style with a creamy remoulade. Mike, our bartender/server was a damn pleasure. Shrimp and grits were perfect. The grits were neutral, coulda used some more cheese, all the flavor from this dish was in the perfectly cooked shrimp. This place is our new date night slot.

We met friends here for dinner on a Saturday (early evening). It was easy to make reservations on OpenTable. My husband had a Bud Light on Tap and I had an Espresso Martini. BluAqua has a very interesting drink menu - there are other options I'd like to try. When our friends arrived they had a Skinny Margarita and a Rum & Coke.We started out with appetizers: Pulled Pork Nachos and Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. Both were excellent and the portions were just the right size. Not skimpy like sometimes appetizers can be - these were easily shareable.The food menu had a good variety of choices so there is truly something for everyone.I had the Shrimp and Grits and my husband had the Low Country Chicken. Our friends had the Asian Tacos and Mexican Corn and Steak and Frites. My Shrimp were perfectly done and the grits were nicely seasoned, creamy and super tasty. It was a large portion. My husband loved the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and said the french-style green beans with bacon were the best he ever had. My friend enjoyed her Asian Tacos and had to take the Mexican Corn home. Her husband's steak was perfectly done and really liked the sauce on top that had a bit of a "kick" to it. The fries were homemade.We didn't order dessert because we were too full. We all agreed the food was excellent.The atmosphere is relaxing and even with a large bar area, it wasn't noisy, so it was easy to have a conversation. The service was excellent and friendly.It was a fun evening with great food and drink with special friends.

What a neighborhood gem!!! The chicken dip was flavorful and good; could use more heat, but that's us. Good portion and dip to chip ratio. I had the ahi tuna dinner, the highlight of which was the kale!!! Omg I could have eaten only the kale and had been happy. The cauliflower rice was great also. The ahi could have been rare rather than medium. Didn't really see the color on the tuna. Flavor was good. Hubby had the spicy chicken sandwich. It was actually spicy to the point that he couldn't taste the flavor. There's spicy that enhances the flavor, and then spicy where your mouth is numb that you can't taste the food. I find the 2nd type waste of money food. He didn't enjoy it. The noise level was very loud. Hubby and I kept saying “what did you say?” Throughout dinner. Probably better for first date when convos may not be comfortable. Hard to have a convo for date night. We will be back to try other foods. We've been a few times and know what to expect. Best for before a show.
