“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.”
“Great manager. We held a party for 30. Food was wonderful and the manager Paige provided great service.”
“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!”
“They have excellent service and their food is truly authentic Japanese. I would recommend it to anybody who loves authentic Japanese food and those who would love to learn what authentic taste like I give them 10 out of 10 because they are well versed in their making of sushi, hibachi soup, salad, and other things they have on their menu.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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!!!”
“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!”

“We moved to NH from Philadelphia 15 years ago. Philly is a great town for food (that’s probably the only thing it’s great for) and while we love most things about NH, the choices for dinning out are definitely not one of those things. Cotton breaks that mold and would stand up to the best of what Philly has to offer. Food, service, and drinks were all top notch!”
“4 stars. We did take out. Price is a little steep but The food was fresh and the portions are pretty large - the heat was definitely there! I was honestly impressed with the Mac n cheese. I had a lot of flavor and the pasta still had some bite to it
Edit. We have circled back after the grand opening die down. I'm changing to 5 stars because I had the opportunity to go order & pick up our dinner and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The inside is very different and gives you lots to look at while you in dine or wait. The food stayed consistently delicious and fresh and the establishment is very clean.
Employees continue to be friendly and helpful and the food stays consistently good”

“We stopped in while visiting from out of town and wanted to try this place, even though we hadn’t preordered. When we arrived, our orders were made quickly and tasted amazing. I tried the Lobstah mac and cheese, and my husband had the jalapeño popper mac, and both were so delicious. The mac and cheese was incredibly creamy, and the Lobstah was full of flavor.”
“My family and I absolutely had a very enjoyable experience dining at Al basha grill . We were greeted with warm smiles and good service , the menu had a great selection and well presented, the staff was very kind and made sure we were comfortable the whole time we were there, the owner was very friendly can’t wait to go back”
“We had chicken combo. The food was good and so much of it that we both took half home as leftovers.
We did have enough space for a large piece of tres leches cake. It was the best we have ever had. We told the young guy at the counter and he said his sister made it!”

“Always great food and great service , had a a minor hiccup when ordering once, but it was quickly rectified. The only disappointment about the whole place is that when they first opened is they had nice sturdy pizza boxes with their logo and last time I went the pizza boxes were quite flimsy and had no real curb appeal. If you have a quality product like they definitely do , it should be presented in a quality way .”
“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.”
“Cool little spot right off the highway. They fully understand vegan and the food was delicious. We had the Tofu Bahn Mi, quesadillas and side of fries. All amazing!!!”
“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!”

“My wife and I revisited last night after a few years. We had a fantastic experience. Clearly, a very well run and service oriented restaurant. The greeters at the reception desk were all very pleasant. The owner Marcus happened to be there and seated us. He also checked in on us during our meal. Very positive experience where he clearly cared about us and our experience. Our server, Daucey was exceptional. Very personable, attentive and pleasant. We're definitely going back and bringing friends.”
“I had never been here before! They had every game you could imagine. Bri was amazing! She was so fun, from asking her to help me wash my hands (see sign in bathroom) to letting her pick me and my groups drinks (which were all great) she went along with it all and was so fun. I’ve already recommended this place to other people and I can’t wait to go back myself!”

Hat’s off to the Service and the Chef’s ! 👍👍👍👍👍 Must sit near the guitar guy in the bar area !

“I just got the BEST frozen Carmel crème coffee ever! He made it perfect. uniformly icy smooth throughout…I felt compelled to let everyone know just how awesome it was. The experience and the perfect coffee. Doesn’t happen as often as it should. But it did tonight!”
“Amazing. Don’t know how we slept on this so long. Great atmosphere, service. We ordered too much ( hooray leftovers ). We had hummus and wings and shared a small pizza and Greek salad. The best feta we’ve ever had and my husband is a pizza snob and loved it. Will be back.”
“My friend and I had a wonderful, whimsical time at the Honey Cup for the 2pm tea service. The service was exceptional. The teas and food were delicious and plentiful. We left satiated with leftovers! Definitely an experience we will not forget. I plan to bring my mom here for her birthday!”
“The best places are often run by the best people, in my experience anyway. To Share is run by two of the best people, people who have built a tremendous team of people! From this, they produce amazing products, lovely experiences, and build relationships all while bettering the community. 10/10 spot!”

“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.”

“I ordered for the first time on door dash and their noodle birria is the best soup I have ever had. I highly recommend it and will definitely be ordering it again real soon. The soup is well worth the price in quality and quantity. It has lots of yummy birria meat at the bottom also.”
“Annapurna is one of my favorite restaurants of all time! The dining experience is top notch with warm and welcoming staff and everything we have sampled on the menu is beyond delicious. Try the chicken mango curry - it is absolute perfection!”

“A party in my mouth! How silly have I been to not have come here earlier!!!
I was met with kindness at the order station. The food came out quick, and at an affordable price. Most importantly, the food sent me to another world and pack. I’m talking celestial travel of the taste buds… how lucky our we to have such a gem in downtown Manch.
ENJOY! 🤪🥹”
“An absolute treasure to the local neighborhood and anyone sufficiently tempted by bakery treats, and all the other various offerings! Due to physical restrictions, I have not be able to try some of the newest offerings but I will definitely make it a priority to visit again as soon as I am able!!!!! Thank you Bakeshop crew for being such a wonderful member of the community!!!”
“I was in a HUGE dilemma and as always Kevin was there to save the day! I cannot thank you Kevin enough for that last minute order but as always you came though again! I had my daughter's graduation cake made there and Kevin saved the day with my other daughters birthday cake and she was ecstatic she absolutely loved her Pennywise cake!!! So again Thank You Kevin for saving my day and giving my daughter an amazing cake! It put a huge smile on her face!!! 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ $36.00 was well worth it!!!!”

“Absolutely love this Wrap City location!! The Alamo is my favorite, but they have so many delicious options. You cannot go wrong with those chips either!! We love how friendly they are, and how quick the food comes out. We also really enjoy using their catering for birthday parties! Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely fantastic food and great service. Prices extremely reasonable, especially with the quality of the food”

Cheap Eats
“Definitely a great place for breakfast and or lunch! Extensive menus for food, pastries, smoothies and juices. Never an issue customizing your request. Some of the best short order cooks around and wait staff are the welcoming and super friendly! My go to every weekend!”
“Fantastic selection of beer. Love that they have tons of Sours to choose from when most places have none. Cocktails are decent for the price point. Food is also decent, especially for bar food.
They have both a downstairs section for events and a small upstairs bar for comedy nights. They have a super small stage for bands and often have live music. Outdoor seating during the warm seasons and a backroom with a pool table and foosball, as well as indoor dining seating separate from the bar area. It's set back far enough away from Elm street that you don't have to worry about people harassing you for money or cigarettes either, which is always nice to avoid.
Service can either be fantastic or alright depending on when you go and who you get. Prices are fair too and they always run daily specials every week. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you're passing by.”
“Food is great. But, I had another experience, that I want talk about - I was there recently and apparently dropped some money on the floor as I was leaving. To me - it was a substantial amount. Another customer found it and turned the whole amount in to staff. We called the next day and told the staff what happened and the exact amount. They had been holding it for us. Staff was kind and great when we went back. So - not only do they have great food - but their customers and staff rae top-notch - kind, fair and charitable.”
“randomly found this place on door dash and saw the picture of a bar pie as I was scrolling and was like, oh, what's this. as someone who's hails from the south shore, but lives in the city, it's always nice to be able to find some nice SSBP up in these parts. I had the buff chicken pizza and it was delicious. def will be back for more 💯”
“Absolutely! Here’s a short and punchy review you can post online or use anywhere:
If you’re anywhere near this place and don’t get a breakfast sandwich, you’re doing mornings wrong. The eggs are perfectly cooked, the bacon is crisp, the English muffins are always fresh, and the flavors hit that sweet spot between hearty and crave-worthy. And don’t even get me started on the grilled blueberry muffins—golden on the outside, warm and bursting with juicy blueberries inside. It’s like your favorite childhood muffin got a five-star makeover. So simple, so good, so worth it.”
“The food is really good, and the service has really improved. (It was kind of iffy when I started going several years ago.) The dinner package is a great deal. Includes soup, an appetizer, naan and dessert. I always get at least two meals out of it.”
“Incredible. Attended for a birthday party and about 40 people were there. The entire waitstaff were amazing. I simply cannot overstate how good everything was. I am blown away. I had 3 different drinks while there. All were inspired and expertly crafted. The food was divine. To die for. The bread and oil may just be the best I have ever tasted. I had the charcuterie board and it was so well-balanced and fresh. The interior of the place was amazing. Immaculately decorated and the walls even sparkle. The waitstaff all were dressed right out of a magazine, knowledgeable, fast, and helpful.
I absolutely cannot wait to go back and this, right now, is my pick for best place to go out in Manchester. I live in Nashua but if I was closer, I would be here all the time.
LGBTQIA+ safe, trans safe!”
“I had my baby shower here and it was fantastic! The staff were amazing and accommodating. It went off without a hitch. The brunch buffet we had was wonderful. All the food was warm, and delicious.”

“Super delish! We got takeout- a bit pricey but wonderful food! Got lots but highly recommend the Short rib bao buns and the Crab Rangoon eggroll (just comes with two though!)”

“So very glad Patz Deli is back in business after two unfortunate floods. I ordered a pastrami wrap with lettuce, tomato, American cheese and red onion. The size was extra big and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I also had the pasta salad which doesn’t have an overload of mayo which is how I like it. Dill pickle was a fine touch. Also the deli offered watermelon which went perfect with my wrap. You also get free chips with each sandwich. Pat and his assistant are always friendly and helpful. I will be back real soon.”

“I want to give a very special thank you to Edgar who made my Granddaughter Emily very happy today. The back story was that when she first heard that the restaurant was closed she was heartbroken and didn't think it was fair that someone decided to close it (she was 5). She asked me to send text messages and an email to tell the person that closed her favorite place that they should reopen because she wanted to go there for her 6th birthday. She didn't know they reopened until today. With Edgar's help we surprised her and told her because of her messages and emails the restaurant re opened. He met her at the front counter and thanked her for helping to get the place reopened. She was so excited and happy. Her smile melted my heart. Thank you Edgar for making a little girl feel like someone was listening to her and it made a difference even if we exaggerated the facts a bit. You made her day!”
“I'm not quite sure why this post says I'm recommending because unfortunately it was a horrible visit. We had been there before and enjoyed the food, cocktails and atmosphere. This particular night our waitress was great at first but after sitting there for two hours and eating the free bread,an appetizer and an entree along with two cocktails we were told we could not get a dessert martini. She claimed it was a "new rule". Strange because we have done this before. She offered us dessert, we said no thank you. We were already disappointed with the Chicken Primavera and my fiance's under cooked ravioli. She walks away without offering the check and has her coworker come over with takeout boxes and starts boxing up our meals. I asked if most of my meal could be put in the box without all the excess oil because my food was drowning in it. The brunette with glasses made the comment that the oil will get absorbed by the pasta. So rude!! Don't get!! It's oil not water and my food was drowning in it. I have never felt so kicked out in my life!! It was 6:30 on Friday. Thanks ladies.”
“My son took me here for my Birthday last night. The food was far better than I was expecting. We both had the Prime Rib and it was tender, melt in your mouth goodness. The service was excellent, and the Line dance, by the staff, in the aisle was a great addition. I have eaten in a lot of steak houses in the Southwest and this ranks with the best. Great Job, I will be back.”

“The Athenian burger was amazing! Absolutely can't wait to try more!”
“Better than Vintage and Nadeaus! Tried a few subs now, the steak and cheese, chicken and cheese, and Meatball sub, and I can say they are a tad bit better for sure than anyone around the city. Only downside is they charge fees for online orders and Vintage/others don't. Get that for free option and I'll bump you up to 5 stars. Why charge a fee? Makes no sense. Fees turn me off and I look elsewhere.”
“This place is the best coffee around, never had a bad cup from here. Staff is super accommodating and the owner knows how to run an excellent business. She made me a gingerless pumpkin syrup as she knew I was allergic to ginger. So thoughtful and caring. Hands down best place to go to get coffee!”
“My friend and I had a wonderful, whimsical time at the Honey Cup for the 2pm tea service. The service was exceptional. The teas and food were delicious and plentiful. We left satiated with leftovers! Definitely an experience we will not forget. I plan to bring my mom here for her birthday!”
“Every time I visit my son in college—about once a month from New Jersey—Tres Hermanas is always our go-to spot. The food is absolutely exceptional, full of authentic flavor and fresh ingredients. The staff are just as wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always make you feel right at home. On top of that, the prices are very affordable, especially for the quality you get. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Mexican food.”
“My Husband and I have been wanting to try this resturaunt since they opened. We Yesterday about 1.5 hr after they opened. It was not busy but the waiter and waitress was great and the service was timely.
Our food was wonderful! It came out fresh and hot. We ordered a margarita flight, peach, mango, strawberry, and tamarind which all were delicious and the flight is certainly affordable!
We will be visiting again. ❤️🥰”
“Chicken is really good, the toast that comes with it is is soft with a tad of crunch. And their sauce is good on the chicken and the fires. I even had the sandwich which they put the sauce AutoZone and th was worth buying. I'm just not a fan of cole slaw so I never eat it. Some of the employees just need to make sure they read the changes to any orders that are put on the receipts and this will be a perfect spot. I always come back for more chicken. Definitely Recommend!”
“I got to try you guys for the first time last Saturday…I was not disappointed! I had the 99 Problems and the Drama Queen. Both were delicious 😋 I love your take on gold fever sauce - it delivers a nice heat 🔥I also got an order of tendies with the gold fever sauce and was only able up eat a half off a piece that night because I was stuffed from the pizza. I had it as leftovers the next day and it reheated perfect and tasted amazing! No complaints at all. Thank you for letting us relax in our cars during the wait 😎 Keep up the hard work!”
“We moved to NH from Philadelphia 15 years ago. Philly is a great town for food (that’s probably the only thing it’s great for) and while we love most things about NH, the choices for dinning out are definitely not one of those things. Cotton breaks that mold and would stand up to the best of what Philly has to offer. Food, service, and drinks were all top notch!”
