“Every Wednesday I enjoy lunch at the farm and Tracy always seems to be the one there taking care of me. I hardly ever have to wait or ask for anything as she already knows what I want. She’s personable enough to remember to ask about my daughter and how my week is going and that’s the kind of place I like to be at!”

Eighty Eight Coffee Co. 124 Queen City Ave, Manchester Cafe • $$
124 Queen City Ave, Manchester

“First time stopping in. It was around opening time on a weekday. Thankfully there's some off street parking spots behind the building.I ordered a white chocolate rose latte with whole milk and a maple chai scone. I was very impressed! The latte was well balanced; just the right amount of sweetness and not too floral. The espresso still shined through. The scone was fluffy and very yummy.The space was minimal and tidy. Plenty of seating for hanging out with feiends or getting work done. The staff was very kind and clearly enjoy what they do. I will definitely be back to try some other options on their menu! Check them out!”

I had brisket, mashed potatoes with gravy, and collard greens. My kids had the ribs, and pulled pork. No complaints, only happy bellies. And the cornbread is like no other! We will definitely be coming back. Our server was attentive and friendly.”

The Crown Tavern 99 Hanover St, Manchester American • $$
99 Hanover St, Manchester

“I went to the Crown Restaurant with a friend in the early evening, since the restaurant we had planned to go to was closed. I am so glad it was! We loved the atmosphere with the beautiful inlay floor, and tasteful setup with the bar and cooking area in designated areas. The atmosphere was alive with chatter and was just a happy place to be. My friend and I each had our own handmade pizza. Enough to share but you might want your own to take some slices home! She had a pizza with veges and garlic sauce. I had a mushroom pizza with delicious soft spreadable garlic, arugula and with truffle salt. (The last pizza on the menu. I would get it again.) We both loved the homemade chewy crust! Get the Cucumber Mocktail! Delicious! Don't forget the cheesecake with a berry sauce, or the caramel flan with a generous amount of raspberries. I am sure that anything you chose on the menu is going to be a tasty experience. Kudos to our waitress, Katrina T. She knew the menu and specials of the day. Great service, Katrina! Thank you for being personable! We hope we'll see you at The Crown again! Thank you!”

“Backyard Brewery has a nice beer selection (I'm a fan of their dark brews) and ever-changing cocktail specials. For dinner, we had frickles, steak tips, and a pizza. The pizza was definitely the stand-out item and would fully recommend. The atmosphere is bright and open and can be quite lively yet the servers remain attentive. Wednesday nights are trivia nights. It would've been nice if they showed the trivia on one of the many many TVs so non-players could follow.”

Mangia Italian Restaurant 33a Elm St, Manchester Italian • $$
33a Elm St, Manchester

“By far my favorite Italian restaurant in the southern NH area, even the whole state so far. This place is the real deal. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can definitely taste that it is. Because of this, the food will take slightly longer than normal but it's worth the wait every time. I do recommend having a reservation because it's a pretty small place so it could full up fast. And because it's small, it could get a little loud but you can still hear your conversations at your table.This place used to be BYOB but they have it so you can order mixed drinks and beer too. Not a huge selection of beer but it'll do. I would like to see some IPAs available but it actually is kind of good they don't have any because those would fill you up so much, that you won't be able to eat as much of the delicious food. The espresso martini I ordered was one of the best ones I've had, definitely recommend it.As far as the food, the warm crispy bread with the dipping oil was so addicting to it, I couldn't stop. We ordered the bruschetta as well and I'm glad I got a 2piece because the pieces of bruschetta are HUGE. And to no surprise these were amazing. For the main meal, I got the chicken parm. This chicken just melts in your mouth it's so tender and cooked to perfection along with the sauce all on it and on the pasta. Top notch chicken parm, my favorite chicken parm anywhere. My girlfriend got the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and like my chicken, it melted in your mouth. This dish also didn't taste heavy like some Alfredo dishes are.Also an important thing, they do accommodate a severe peanut/ treenut allergy. We did not have a problem with that.I cant recommend this place enough. The chef Angelo really knows how to make an authentic Italian meal the right way and I will never stop coming back!Dietary restrictions: The kitchen accommodates a severe peanut/ treenut allergy as well!Parking: I typically park on the street across the way and it's free.”

The Birch on Elm 968 Elm St, Manchester American • $$$
968 Elm St, Manchester

“I honestly never write reviews about places but I just felt compelled because of how amazing our experience was here. The atmosphere as soon as we walked in was amazing. When I walk into a place and they’re playing Sade and frank Sinatra, I knew it was going to be amazing! Starting off, I asked if they could make me a martini with vodka and a fruit as I was up for a surprise and they did not disappoint! It ended up being some sort of banana martini which was interesting and nothing short of delicious. We also got an espresso martini which was amazing as well. Next comes the food; this is tapas style people it does not all come out at the same time! Enjoy sharing the food together!! Anyways we ordered the octopus balls, truffle fries, beef tongue Reuben and BBQ pork belly. I have to say I was shocked. I don’t even have a word for the food because it was beyond spectacular. I’ve never had beef tongue before and was a bit scared to try it but it was amazing. This level of dining and experience could absolutely survive in a bigger city like New York or LA. I found the prices to be extremely reasonable given how fresh and amazing the food was. You’re getting lesser quality of food for more money elsewhere on elm! I think what made the experience most hospitable was when I believe it was the chef came out to greet us and ask how everything was! This was the most unique cuisine I’ve ever seen in the city; well worth the money in my opinion! If there’s one thing Manchester is doing right it’s birch on elm! Kudos!!”
