Best meal of my life. We got the pork belly rangoons, shishito peppers, Caesar salad w/ anchovies, and steak frites. Everything was amazing! I'd recommend this spot to anyone.
Such a fun experience! The food was delicious and the drinks were spectacular! We loved the compressed watermelon salad, the bread, and the pork belly rangoons! Highly recommend!
Went for the first time and everything was amazing! The servers were very kind and welcoming. The place itself was lovely. The food was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to go again.
The owner of Stashbox was incredibly inviting and a pleasure to talk to. He was very informative about the food, and when I asked which culinary school he attended, he shared that he had been a lifelong bartender but picked up a lot from working with his chef—an honest and humble response that made the experience more personal.
When we walked in, it looked like an old dive bar, but the atmosphere was unexpectedly pleasant. Ceiling fans helped with air circulation, and there’s a nice front patio area. It’s also wheelchair accessible, which is a thoughtful touch. Parking is paid but expected in the area—though a bonus that it’s free on Sundays. Bathrooms are gender-neutral, which I appreciate because it usually means less waiting.
We came in hoping to try the miso-charred avocado, but they were out—disappointing, especially since my wife was really excited about it. We went with the pork belly rangoons instead. My wife, who’s Korean, felt the pork could’ve been crispier before frying, and I agree the dough had a darker tone and tasted like the frying oil may have been past its prime. Still edible, but not great.
On the plus side, the duck breast was fantastic—cooked just right—and the brussel sprouts that came with it were a surprising standout.
All in all, I’d recommend giving this place a try. I get the sense they usually do a solid job, and it may have just been a bit off due to the long weekend. I’d be open to returning when they’re back in their groove.
Amazing Vegan options, please keep them on the menu
Gross food, high prices, dooshbag staff. NEXT!!!
Great atmosphere and the food and service are always great! If you haven't been here, you need yo check it out.
Top ten food and experience. Solo dining while traveling, sat at the bar and had a great time talking to the staff. Man they know how to make a great cocktail! Recommend the hot honey carrots and the prosciutto wrapped cod. Amazing!

Seriously can’t describe how good this place is. Every time I have been is fantastic, and the rotating menu always has new and fantastic items. What really puts this place over the top for me is their awareness to details. I went for a birthday dinner with a friend who has multiple food allergies. Upon mentioning these allergies, the crew went to the chef to confirm our options. Impromptu we were able to get an incredible take on the steak frites avoiding both soy and eggs which was prepared perfectly and plated expertly. The chef was amazingly communicative with us while deciding on alternative options in the meal. This is the first place I suggest for friends going to the Manchester area for creative drinks and food and just cemented itself even further.

Not your ordinary food or beverage place. Stash Box was Outstanding! I like to get food choices that I could not make at home and this place definitely delivered. The cocktails were delicious and made with precision and freshness. The food was so tasty. We shared the pork belly Rangoon and dinner bread appetizers. It was the special touches added, like house made pickles and pimento spread and some wicked tasty chutney that made our taste buds explode. I had the falafel entree with broccolini (roasted to perfection) and super tasty. My husband had the pesto risotto, which was a special surprise. Of most importance, all the staff were attentive and friendly. I cannot recommend Stash Box more highly!
Have been here three times for dinner now. The food is incredible every single time and the staff is some of the friendliest ever! I appreciate that they’re open until 10 too as most of the restaurants around here close at 9. Definitely will continue to come here. You guys are AMAZING!

I’ve been a fan of Stash Box since it first opened, and though their regular menu has evolved a bit, my recent visit to try their new brunch offerings exceeded all expectations. Having always been satisfied with their standard menu, I figured the brunch would be worth exploring—and it certainly was.
We arrived right at opening, ensuring a relaxed atmosphere and attentive service. The friendly staff and bartenders were welcoming and set the tone for a great dining experience. I opted for a mimosa, while my friend chose a Bloody Mary. Both drinks were expertly crafted and delightful.
For the main event, I decided on the breakfast smash burger, and my friend went for the short rib breakfast skillet. The smash burger came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked, with a delightful egg on top and a phenomenal bun. Every bite was a testament to quality and flavor. My friend was equally impressed with their skillet, praising it as a fantastic choice.
Stash Box’s brunch is a bit on the pricey side, but the quality of the food and the craftsmanship of the cocktails make it well worth the cost. I highly recommend this spot for any meal. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, the brunch at Stash Box is not to be missed.
