“I've had the Old Fashioned in many restaurants, across many states, and in different countries, but Cotton makes the best.The service is bona fide. I've seen the same people working here over the years, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy providing you with their fine cuisine.The hours of operation are very limited, but their menu is indisputably delectable. Just like Dorsia in the award winning movie, "American Psycho", you're absolutely going to want a reservation here... But walk ins are totally possible.“

“Wow. Truly top flight Indian/Nepalese/Himalayan cuisine in Manchester. What a win! I've long told friends that the one culinary shortcoming of New Hampshire, around me, at least, is good Indian. Well KS isn't good, it's excellent! We sampled cauliflower 69 (if I recall the number correctly app), veggie korma, Goan fish curry, saag paneer and garlic naan. All were as good as I've ever had anywhere. I specifically asked that the cauliflower be NOT sweet (as it usually is) and they happily complied. Savory and with just a bit of heat. The saag was smooth and creamy and the paneer of just the right texture. Goan fish curry has a unique flavor profile and they nailed it. The veggie korma had a nice variety of veggies and the sauce was creamy and mild, just the way our friend likes it. Finally, the naan came hot and fragrant. If I'd known they served huge amounts of basmati rice with the entrees I wouldn't have ordered two but, oh well, just more food for us as leftovers - no way I was going to leave all that good sauce behind. And food as well - the servings were generous and we couldn't even visualize finishing it all at one sitting. For sure, we're going to be regulars going forward.“

His sense of humor, easy going nature, attention to detail and the whole experience was devine. Georges we will be back 3/29 for dinner before a show at the Rex and hope to get you again!Food was on point, beer was cold and glasses never went dry. In all, a fantastic experience at one of our favorite dinner spots!“

“Located in downtown Manchester, this small restaurant has a lot of personality. The bar was spacious with most tables understandably empty on a Monday afternoon. Our nachos were nothing to brag about, but my friend’s tuna appetizer looked amazing. We were both pleased with the cocktail menu and our selections. I would definitely recommend the Spicy Mango Margarita.Vegetarian options: Shockingly few vegetarian items“

The fries stole the show though, so crispy on the outside and delicious potato inside.The old fashioned was decent, not amazing but not horrible. The restaurant was full by the time I left and it had gotten pretty loud.Overall I'd say it's a place to go on a nice date or for an occasion.“

“We used Queen City Cupcakes for our wedding on 12/8/23 and were extremely happy with our experience. Chelsea from Queen City was very prompt with her responses and the booking process was a breeze. We chose cupcakes for our dessert, which served a dual purpose as favors. They were beautiful to look at and delicious! The maple bacon flavor was a big hit. The booking and delivery process was super easy and very affordable. Queen City was also very accommodating in regards to food allergies. Overall, we would absolutely recommend Queen City Cupcakes for any event!“

“We came here as a group of 8 on Thursday night.While it was not crowded, there was a good crowd.On Thursdays, it is ladies night so drinks are half off which was so nice. We hung out near the billiards table and our waiter Bennett was super nice and checked in on us often. He even helped with ensuring another visitor had left the building because he was making others uncomfortable. I also loved the free popcorn and it was good quality popcorn! The drink I ordered was Under the Sea and enjoyed it. I would definitely come back again.“

Didn't know how popular the place was until we got inside and sat down in booths that had been graced by celebrities of all kinds! It was fun to see the pics and articles framed on the walls. When I think diner, this is exactly what I picture. Open 24 hours... historic, small, quaint and cozy. Really cool find and the staff was very pleasant. I'll definitely stop back there when I'm in the Manchester area again.“

The fries were outstanding. Drink selection was a bit small, I prefer fountain drinks anyway but at least they had Mexican coke. Not alot of seating and it’s really aged. But ultimately it was clean and fairly quiet.Service was great. Friendly staff. Total recommend“

“Went Sunday St Patrick’s Day! They had the restaurant decorated with ballon banners for St. Patrick’s Day. The Irish Flag colored ballons were great! Green vases of flowers on the table, and of course Cornbeef/Irish cuisine was designed for the day. The mimosas are cold and delicious. Parking is at a minimum, you may need to get creative but worth it. It was very busy when we got there at 9am, when we left at 10 there were plenty of seats. Service was a little behind as you can imagine with every table full. But even with that, we got waited on as quick as possible. Great breakfast place. They also have an event room for rent or I have seen them use it for restaurant over flow.“

“This is a cute little bar very close to the Manchester Airport. I think there are a lot of regulars as the bar itself was fairly crowded but there were plenty of seats in the restaurant section. Almost all of the tables are high tops which I found a little uncomfortable.I have to say that we tried this place because of a lot of the Google reviews that talked about great happy hour specials, including $5 beer pitchers.We went at 4:00 p.m. and were told they have no happy hour specials but they do have mini pitchers of beer which were the equivalent of two pints. However those were $11 each not $5. There were no food specials for happy hour.There was one server who was working the entire restaurant including the bar so she was a little rushed but extremely friendly and it made up for the wait. The food was good and the french fries were very hot which I find to be a big plus.Overall it was a nice stop and we enjoyed the evening but we're a little disappointed in that it was not the value that we were expecting.“
