“Vincenzo and Addy at the front counter were so kind and friendly. I am visiting from out of state, and I accidentally went to the wrong location to pick up my order, not realizing there were two! But they were totally understanding, offered me water/soda while I waited, and had it remade for me exactly as I needed it at this location within 15 minutes. Excellent service, wonderful staff, and lovely environment. Will definitely be returning while I’m here!“

“WOW The red sauce at this Italian restaurant is amazing! Why did I take so long to try this restaurant and I had heard great things about Giorgios. The chicken parmigiano was delicious, but the meatballs were the closest to my own special homemade recipe. The atmosphere is lively with just the right lighting. Clean and the staff is friendly and upbeat. Can't wait to go back!!!“

“Such a fun and warm and welcoming atmosphere! It was my first time trying kava and the two baristas I’ve met so far were very knowledgeable and took extra time to explain to me (and my second time, to my friend!) The space is cozy and the games are awesome. Can’t wait to come back for trivia!“

“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!“

“I’ve gone to the Wild Rover about 7-8 times in the last month. The food is delicious. So far I’ve had: the 4 out 5 of the Snack Wrap options (cheeseburger, fish taco, Rueben and fried chicken Caesar) plus one special (Steak Bomb snack wrap) all of which were delicious. I plan to try the falafel snack wrap soon which is the only one I haven’t had yet. The potato skins are delicious; perfectly crisp with the right amount of cheese and bacon. Pro-tip: you can get them with sour cream or hot honey sour cream, and the hot honey sour cream is definitely recommended. The Haddock and Handcuts (fries) were phenomenal. The coleslaw that comes with the haddock and hand cuts is very fresh and crisp, dressed perfectly and they add some masala spice to it which makes their slaw unique and gives it an extra flavor boost. The pretzels are also great: served hot and freshly made with honey mustard with a kick or pub cheese. I’ve had the Rover fries, which are their normal hand cut fries with extra spices, and they were a flavor bomb and cooked perfectly. The fries are served with smoked ketchup which kicks things up a notch. I’m going to work my way through the rest of the menu because everything here has been delicious and fresh.

This is a chill bar with a good draft beer list and a good variety of liquors. The mixed drinks are strong and very tasty. The staff are all friendly and attentive. You feel welcome when you come here. The crowd is also pretty chill. The bar has a very cool vibe with cool decorations, exposed brick walls, a nice bar, and a cool setup overall. The prices are extremely reasonable for drinks and food. This is definitely my new go to spot. Check out the Wild Rover and definitely get some food because their chef is clearly putting a lot of love and experience into the dishes.

Update: I’ve tried basically everything on the menu now and it’s all been phenomenal. Can’t say enough about how awesome the staff are. Great place!“

“Absolutely a great place to go ! Atmosphere, Service, ….. and appetizers and entree’s were excellent. Drinks they will create per your request.

Great to have a fun, relaxing, dinner listening to a selection of the best of the 70’s, 80’s,90’s, to current .“

“The team at 815 excels at consistently delivering unique and mouth watering food that's easy to share, thoughtfully crafted original cocktails, and a friendly atmosphere that is second to none.

When you arrive you're greeted by staff that really make you feel cared for.

A couple months back they were able to provide me and my friends some space for my birthday and they the servers were taking care of us all night despite them being slammed.

The music selections are eclectic, which perfectly suits the cool yet hard to describe esthetic.“

“I love the patio! Good for chilling with friends and family“

“Renegade’s is a great place. You can’t beat the burgers and even better are the prices. They always have a great selection of 16 rotating craft beers on tap along with plenty in bottles/cans along with a full bar. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. My family and I have been many times and never leave unsatisfied.“

“After my dad's funeral, we had a meal there and they did an incredible job, food was great, Kelly Dorgan handled all of the arrangements and they were spot on.Kelly who bartended, as well clearing tables and anything else that needed to be done she did. I recommend having the elks cater or put on any event for you and the cost was very very reasonable.“

“I had my son's graduation party yesterday, July 12, 2025. I rented out their space behind the bar at an affordable price. I worked closely with the General Manager, Jamison Colcord. He was wonderful to work with during the planning stage as well as the day of the event. He even got there an hour before the event, so I could put up decorations. The staff members that were assigned to assist my party were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. If I ran out of food, Jamison and the staff did everything they could to get me the additional food I needed for my guests (I had 13 teenagers to feed :). They took care of boxing the leftover food and cleaning the space after the party was over. My friends and family who attended the party said that they didn't know Margarita's rented out space and said the food and the party were wonderful. I would definitely rent the space again for an opportunity to work with Jamison and the staff again at Margarita's on Elm Street in Manchester, NH.“

“100% - without a doubt - THE BEST oysters!! Chicken wings are amazing also. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu“

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