47 Purnell Pl, Manchester

“One of the nicest breweries in the state! The atmosphere is top-notch and their food selection is delicious. Loved the presentation for their flights. You scan can the QR code menu at your table, place your order and check out digitally. And they bring it right up to you, wherever you're seated. At most other places this might seem impersonal, but the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you need. Can't wait to come back.”

Elicit Brewing Co 165 Adams St, Manchester Brewpubs • $$
165 Adams St, Manchester

“This was my second time at Elicit Brewing. First time I was here was with Yelp Elite crew and that day, I knew I had to come back and bring my friends.I came by on March 16, 2023 with a group of friends. We all agreed with this sentiment.AMBIENCE: The ambience is electrifying. Everyone is enjoying themselves. I loved the set out of plenty of sitting in the large area and then the sofas on the other side. Its perfect for large groups.BEER & FOOD: The drinks variety are plentiful. There is a beer for everyone. I love their prices as I have gone to many brewery and the beer prices are much balanced here. On this day they even have beers at $3 dollars. So if you are on a budget, you have choices. I have to talk about the food. I have to say that yes its mainly bar food but OMG everything is done RIGHT. I mean it. Everyone in my group agreed that the choices were great and quality was amazing. We were extremely surprised with their eggplant fries which some in the group don’t like eggplants and were LIKE WHAT?? Yes they loved it. We had the following items in their menu; sweet potatoes waffles; Philly eggrolls; chicken bites, eggplant fries, wings, sweet heat.EVENT: On this day they had live music on the down stairs and DJ upstairs. I love them both. We left almost at 1am after dancing and singing with strangers that were all there to have fun. I love that they had plenty of security presence everywhere. This is highly important to me and it gave me a sense of safety and responsibility from the staff. My friends all loved it and thought the only bad thing is how far they are from us.STAFF and ORDERING: Here I thought they had excellent ordering system and process. They have a great set up with at least 6 cashier registers to dispense your drink orders. On the other side they have about 2 registers for food ordering. Everything is very modern and easy to order. You get a buzzer, get a table and then pick up your food a few minutes later.So come on over and experience what a great brewery looks like. Loved every minute here and hope to be back soon.”

The Main Course 867 Main St, Manchester American • $$
867 Main St, Manchester

“An absolute gem on the main drag in Manchester (not the mall area!) We came in at 5:30 on a Friday and we’re greeted right away. The drinks we tried were both fantastic. We ordered the Brussels sprouts app (my wife loves them, me not so much) and ended up cleaning that plate. We both did salads for dinner. Steak for the wife and I grabbed the cheeseburger salad and some wedge fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Dinner for two with an app and two drinks was priced well. The server was polite and timed her table visits just right. Don’t sleep on this one.”

Texas Roadhouse 21 Redstone Rd, Manchester Steak House • $$
21 Redstone Rd, Manchester

“Our servers were terrific. One was in training. A real turnoff, though, was the fact that certain people were not made to pull back their hair. One sat us, playing with her long hair, and the other one went around checking each table to see if we were doing ok. All the other servers, sitters, bar tenders, and bus people did their hair back. These two need to be watched. I'm pretty sure in some states it's part of a law. I would like you to speak to them. Everything else was fine. We will return but next time I will ask to see a manager.”

“Food is always great. Then again, I just get the same thing every time.20 piece original, with the Daytona sauce. It is amazing!Service is hit or miss, as far as wait staff goes. Instead of a waitress or bartender spreading themselves out to everybody equally.Unfortunately it seems they have favorites and flirt. You hear staff complaining how dead is, and fail to recognize they are the problem. If they were attentive to everyone equally, instead of playing favorites and chatting. Maybe we would come more often. Just a thought. I recall waiting to order a drink for 10 minutes just waiting for her to stop a personal conversation with a bar patron.”

“This place was a surprise to me. While not every single item was a hit, most were. I was surprised given how large the menu is. They have a number of go to items but I think they have the most unique and best chicken and waffles in the area, by far with an anazing maple bacon "gravy". Their other go to items are the mac and cheese with blackened chicken, fried mozzarella (although i feel they should offer 4-5 triangles fir the price compared to 3), pulled pork sandwich, which while good, was a bit on the smaller side, as were the fries. They need to make both of those a bit more generously proportioned like the other items. (Bears bbq has a bigger sandwich I feel is a better bargain).But some items were generously portioned too. I also recommend the poutine. The majority of items I had here were cooked amazingly well. Very recommended. The desserts were kinda average though. My guest ordered the chilli which was small and he was not really impressed. The seasonal ramen bowl was well received. My only issue was when I came in on my birthday and mentioned it, they didn't offer me anything complimentary, when i mentioned it to the server. Or really even acknowledge it, which I was a bit bothered by as I chose this place for my birthday.”
