“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!!“

“Great food and service“

“The food is delicious however this is the 2nd time we’ve picked up an order and we paid for something we did not get ! Very frustrating that someone is not paying attention !“

“Just WOW! My family and I just moved to the area. We’ve tried a couple places in the area, but we are a large family and everyone has their own taste. I drove past Marc’s last week and wanted to try it. This was the BEST pizza I’ve had in a long time. And the FRIES (especially if you like them thin cut like myself). We came from the city where there were multiple pizza shops, but none compare to Marc’s Pizza and Subs. My family of 10 ALL loved it, so that’s saying something! I would’ve included a picture but we devoured it before I even thought of it!“

“Was a great night out with family pleasant atmosphere“

“My husband took me to Cotton last night for my birthday. The owner was at the host stand and she was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our server scooter was an absolute sweetheart. She was just the right amount of attentive. Shrimp appetizer was so delicious and our steaks had so much flavor and were cooked to perfection(med-rare) cocktails were great too! Between the amazing meals we had an excellent service I cannot wait to come back here. Thank you so much for such a great birthday experience!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Had a fantastic evening with very good friends.“

“We dined outside in a beautiful breeze under a Linden Tree flocked with pakasandra. The smkoed salmon hollandaise with spinach on a perfectly toasted English muffin was fabulous. The poached eggs were also done perfectly. Flowering rose bushes were exquisite around the driveway. Great brunch❗️“

“Great local place to grab a beer, burger, and run into friends“

“most delicious chicken in the entire world. halal. won best chicken from boys and girls club“

“Starting coming here a couple months ago. Wait staff is top notch, friendly, and attentive! I have ordered different items each time. The food comes out delicious each time! Worth your time to stop and try it!!“

“love this place!! the food is always great and Keri is a great waitress! the owner is normally present and friendly. it's clean comfortable and feels like home. I will always eat here when Keri is working ♡“

“In town for a soccer tournament and looking for somewhere to bring the kids and dog for a quick dinner. This place was the best! Really friendly staff with a decent sized outdoor seating section and no wait on a Saturday night. The kids were excited about the bonus cookie that came with their meals, and they even had a menu for our pup with multiple choices which I haven't seen anywhere else! The crispy chicken salad was delicious. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!“

“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.“

“Aimee was great, We will be back!“

“The Pine Street Eatery is an excellent choice for breakfast and lunch. I have never had dinner there nor have I been to the lounge. I am referring to the restaurant. The people are wonderful, the food is great and the prices are more than fair. Overall, a wonderful place for a meal.“

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

“On my first visit, I found the perfect amount. As a side, perfectly fried French fries. Their newly renovated dining room is ready to be unveiled. I sat alone at the lunch bar for my first visit, and the owner, who has been there for 37 years, recognized it by talking to me. Many patrons seem to be regulars. Excellent indication!“

“We held a large Retirement Party in the function space in early June and we were very happy! Cathy was great to work with and everything met or exceeded our expectations - from the wonderful wait staff to the buffet, dance floor, etc.! (There is also no rental fee, which is great!). We would definitely book another event here again!“

“Best kept secret in Nashua, amazing food and the sweetest staff.“

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!!!“

“Always good service and food“

“Tried based off a recommendation from a friend. Glad we went. The food was great, nice limited menu so there is attention to detail with every plate. The outdoor seating(with heaters) was relaxing, lean back look up and enjoy a glimpse of the stars. And lastly the drinks were the cherry on top. I highly recommend giving The Hill a try whether it be in the next to weeks or when they reopen in the spring.“

“Great manager. We held a party for 30. Food was wonderful and the manager Paige provided great service.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Thank goodness they reopened. It’s the only restaurant prior to going through security. If you’re picking up someone it is great to have a place to relax and enjoy a bite or a drink. The breakfast panini was delicious with tater tot type hash browns.“

“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.“

“Amazing pizza from their wood-fired oven. Great drinks!! Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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!“

“Great bar and even better Bartender, Frank! It's people like Frank that have people rebook at the Hotel attached by offering exceptional service and remembering customers! Would recommend and plan on returning! Cheers, that man deserves a raise!“

“the fish tacos were good.Friendly service.“

“🍝🥦 The food was great. I had chicken parmesan, and the man friend had a meatloaf dinner. 😋 However, the best part was the delightfully energetic and entertaining bartender. Cody, thank you for making our luncheon extremely fun. 😃😁“

“T Bones - who knew it would be this good? For a chain, I was expecting the same old tired chow. What a surprise to get a very tasty fish and chips! We ordered in advance for pick up - the food was ready as promised, on time. Very very busy, though, with seniors packing the lot and restaurant for their 5pm meals. Try a different time?“

“I’ve been meaning to get here for years and FINALLY did today! My husband had a NE Hazy IPA that was great! (forget what it’s called) He said his appetizer, cheese dip with tortilla chips, was very good. My garden salad with tri tip steak was so delicious! The salad veggies were fresh and balsamic vinegrette was tangy and tasty, the steak marinade was really yummy, and the steak was cooked as I requested. Met the owner and chatted with him for a bit. A great addition to the downtown Nashua scene!“

“My go-to diner!! Love this place & so does my entire family. The food, service, atmosphere & prices are top notch!“

“I organized a football team event for 50 held at the Boneyard (their function place), and everything could not have been more perfect. We upgraded to include the ribs which was such a good idea. The reports from the team were all positive, it blew away the Italian meal from the prior year. There was plenty of leftover food which the athletes were so excited to take home. 5 stars. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Emy and I enjoyed an early dinner at Casey Magee's today. The staff were attentive and helpful, the atmosphere was great, and the food was superb. We both had their signature dish, fish and chips, and enjoyed it tremendously. It took us back to our times in London, eating takeout from the chip shop on the corner. We'll be back!“
