New England's Tap House Grille

New England Taphouse and Grille - June 21 2025 It was actually somewhat close to dinner time, which is odd for us. The place wasn’t too busy and we were seated immediately at a table near the front. Our server, Victoria, greeted us quickly and asked if we’d like any drinks. My wife got the Double Raspberry Puckerbrush from Coos Brewing. I got the Jakobus from Schilling. Both were served expectedly cold. We ordered Squeaky Cheese to share, which came with a side of marinara for dipping. I only had a few pieces, but about half of the ones I had were virtually empty of actual cheese, only the breaded portion was left. They were fine. I also ordered a half dozen oysters. Victoria asked what kind, and I just told her to decide, so she did. I still don’t know which ones I got, but I don’t really care either. There was a very interesting mix that covered the spectrum, from sweet, to buttery, to briney. A nice variety. Served with Cocktail Sauce, Horseradish, Mignonette, and another sauce that I didn’t try. For a main she ordered the Chicken Tenders with fries. I told Victoria that I was going to have whatever she recommended. She said “Really, like anything?” I said yes. My wife added “But don’t tell him” Victoria responded with “Ohh, this is fun. Is there a budget?” I said that I didn’t want to spend $100 on a plate, but mostly no. I added that if it came up, I like my burgers medium, steak medium rare. As we were waiting for our mains she ordered another Raspberry Puckerbrush, and I asked Victoria for something with Rye. I’m relatively sure that I got a Whistlepig poured over a large ice cube (which is just fine with me). When the mains came, hers was just as expected. Tenders were solid, maybe just a touch dark, but that also made them nice and crispy. Fries were well cooked, maybe a touch more salt would have helped, but solid none the less. When mine was delivered it was the Butcher Block, and even though the online menu says it’s a strip steak, mine was a Bone-in Ribeye, served with a variety of mushrooms, some microgreens, and a side of Truffle Fries. The steak was maybe 1 minute past medium rare, but still very good. The fries were a little too truffley (I don’t love a strong truffle flavor, a hint of truffle is more to my taste) for me, but my wife devoured them, so I ate (mostly) the ones that came with her Chicken Tenders. As we finished my wife asked Victoria to pick a dessert for her to take home, but not to tell her what it was. We ended up with a very good Carrot Cake that I failed to take a picture of but fortunately my wife saved me.

Everything was wonderful! Our waitress was super kind, informational and very attentive. Food and drinks were excellent, raw bar was extremely fresh, poutine was good but if you are a poutine lover just wasn’t authentic. 🍺🍤🍸🍉🍹🦪

I have been here a few times over the years with mixed results. This most recent time was a Friday night. We were quoted a 30 minute wait and got a table in ten. Great! We started with the fried squeaky cheese which is always good. My entree was the maple mustard chicken which was absolutely delicious. Service was great and the beer was cold.

Me and my wife went there for the first time a few nights ago, and we had an amazing time. Our waitress Noel was fantastic. She was super friendly, attentive, and caring. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was chill. We are definitely gonna go back.

Ryan said he was new here and I couldn’t believe it - he recited the specials like they were his favorite song. And I’m so glad he did! My wife LOVED the burger of the month (Sugar Mangolia Burger). Great food and even better service. Never change!

We are frequent flyers here and never been disappointed. Jess is by far one of the best servers we have had , she is personable, funny and always cares about her tables. Thank you for making our meals better!

Always love coming here. Had a new server Ryan who did excellent, came around and offered plenty of suggestions, pointed out new menu items and hot items that other people have been getting. Hot honey chicken on Mac n cheese was great and the new sticky duck wings were amazing.

Jessica was a fantastic waitress. Food was amazing!!! Drinks fairly priced… this is our new place for date night.

Always a great experience at Tap House! The staff are always kind and very attentive throughout my visit. The food is great but my favorite would have to be the nachos! The ambiance is very chill, it's a great place to go if you're looking to watch a game or just to unwind from your day and grab a drink!

Let me start by saying the waitstaff was incredibly nice. She was helpful and very nice. We ordered 2 sodas, an appetizer of poutine, a burger, and a flatbread. The soda and appetizer were all fine. The burger was ordered medium-well. It came out cold and red in the center, so medium rare. For someone who doesn't like the texture/temp of medium-rare, that's not edible. The flatbread came out soaked in grease. I used 2 napkins to attempt to soak up some of the grease. The napkins were completely soaked through. However the flatbread was still horribly greasy, to the point that when I took a bite grease gushed out. I tried and ate about 1/8 of this dish, that I paid $14 for. I'm not normally a person to ask for something to be removed but I asked to have the burger and flatbread removed. The manager, who never bothered to speak with us, agreed to let the waitstaff take off the burger. They refused to allow the flatbread to be taken off. That said, they also didnt offer to give me the flatbread that they had already taken. So they threw away 7/8 of a meal I paid $14 for, didn't give me the option to take it with me (not sure what I would do with it but I paid $14 for it), and refused to credit it. This is not in any way a reflection on the waitstaff. She was incredibly nice. This was poor quality service from the kitchen staff, and really poor handling by the management who didn't at any point even come talk with us.

Fan-Freaking-Tastic!! Food was delish, service was amazing and the ambience was great. Solid pricing, too!

Super cute, upscale bar vibe. Appetizers were large. Definitely Prices for whatever you are feeling. Great beers. Don't commit to the menu before you arrive as they are having some supply issues, but they have other things too off the menu because of this. We went a brewery was visiting which added to the fun with samples and things! We will be back!

Had a good visit the other night but oh my god 28$ for about 12 wings is crazy high priced!!The fiesta chicken flatbread pizza was really good. Great crust and the chicken tasted fire charred like the wings do which was nice. Huge beer selection. Great parking lot which was a perk.

Ambience is nice. Food was not made as well as other common places. Usually overcooked. I have stayed away for over a year. Adult Drinks were well made. Service was usually slow even before 2020. I heard they had Trivia night on Tuesdays.

Food is pretty decent. Ambiance is good enough, and the service is great. I'd say, it's like virtually every other bar/pub.

I have never been here but I chose it to meet my best friend half way for her birthday. Due to reviews. I tried to make a reservation early, I was told I had to make it the day of.. I did. I was told they would text me when they were ready.... 45 minutes later than the reservation, we approached and they said sorry we are working on it. An hour after our reservation we were seated. So reservations are bs. Eventually a server took an order for an appetizer and two glasses of Prosecco. The appetizer was great. The Prosecco was flat like, a white wine. We sent it back, like we hate to do..we asked her if it was Prosecco, she yelled Yes! And ran away.. We eventually got Prosecco with some weak bubbles, From a different woman that was looking after the place. Then a half hour after we had placed our entree order, different ladies came by and said that the seafood risotto was unavailable, unless I was ok with just shrimp. I asked if I could look at the menu, to make a different choice.. they acted like that was a problem, so I said yes. Risotto I paid 30$ for was awful.. , risotto had no flavor basically hard rice and butter and the shrimp was so hard, you couldn't even chew. They had scallops, haddock and more on the menu! Were they out of all of that? My friends steak tips were barely warm as though they were sitting around while they figured out the terrible risotto. Hopefully it was just a bad night for them, but it was definitely a disappointment meal for us. ( that I paid full price for)

I have to admit that I did not want to go to this place because it's in a plaza. But once you get inside this place it's 100% New England with an authentic setting, authentic staff, authentic food, and authentic customers. We ate here two nights in a row and both our waitresses were 100% perfect in every way. The food tasted fine and the servings were plentiful.

The food was good... The service was not good, we Sat at the bar it was not busy and took over 5 mins for the bartender to come over, when we Sat down he was standing right in front us us, we were never greeted, or said I will be right with you. We ordered we received our drinks, finished our drink, food had not arrived, never came back to see if we wanted another drink food came some 30 mins later, then offered a second drink. Order chix Togo and that took another 30 mins they were cold when we got them had been sitting there for a while. We will NOT be going back.

So I used to have a 1 star on this place due to a lackluster performance by the Tap about 5 years ago. Today Honey and Junior wanted a cheeseburger. Had to have one. I said "Fairplay, you pick the spot." Honey chose the Tap House. Very well, they were shit once but I will give them another go. Yeah not bad. Fried pickles were lovely and the sauce they served with them was brilliant. As discussed Burgers all around. All serviceable. A few issues: 1. NO MUSHROOMS. You are fucking joking. These lads serve pizza and there isn't a mushroom in the gaff. Daddy needs fungus on the burger. 2. The fries were good BUT you only get about 10 with the burger. Had to splash out for an extra order just to satisfy the ratio. 3. Inconsistent lettuce. Honey and Junior got a lovely bit of iceberg lettuce on their burgers. Me? Some weird plate garnish leafy greens. Taking the piss. 4. Beer glass. Chill the pint glass mate. If my review seems overly critical it is unintentional. I did enjoy my time there and the food as well. Our server was lovely and the ambiance is a sort of dimly lit bar which is right up my alley. Get some mushrooms, stop being tight with the fries and chill the pint glasses and we'll talk about that fourth star.

Hooksett, 5pm-6ish: Sat at bar, 1/2 hour wait or more because kitchen backed up (we were told) for regular seating. No biggy, bar service usually quick. Bartender here seemed indifferent: not much of a greeting, slow service, no check after meal arrived and lack of interest at empty drink glasses. Again, indifferent. Food took a long time, steak tips cooked correctly, peppercorn demi was floury, vegetables (carrots and green beans) some cooked through, some seemed uncooked. We were disappointed the last time here and it's gotten worse. We really liked you guys years ago, has management changed or has staff withered out? I feel compelled to write this because it has been so much better (food menu, service and cooking/presentation) in the past. You can do better than this. You have done better than this.

Long wait half the food served other half took forever burger was soggy disappointment big time. :(

Had a major disparity, and it was not handled professionally. Very unfortunate. Won't be returning.

The staff here is amazing. Date night, we were informed of the specials, let the waitress know of an allergy. She checked with the kitchen and informed me that yes, that ingredient was in my choice. Gave her a 2nd option for my meal and she came back again. The kitchen staff went the extra mile to check the recipies making sure my meal was safe for me to eat. They even placed a pick table in my meal to make sure it wasn't cross contaminated. I really appreciated the effort that was made to make sure I could have a pleasant evening.

7pm 9/23/20222 very busy place, we used call ahead for 7 pm we were seated (party of 4) @ 7:02 pm which was excellent timing. Solid beer selection especially if you like the Microbrews, very limited in regular domestic beers. Starters Poutine and Artichoke/Spinach Dip. In a part of the country known for Poutine they might be better served to take it off the menu it was definitely below average. On the other hand the dip was solid and good pub food. Guest 1 Steak tip salad (below average, steak was not cooked the way ordered and served cold). Guest 2 Fried Haddock Tacos "Delicious". Guest 3 The Cowboy Burger was average pub burger. Guest 4 Rueben Sandwich with fries, very average. We did get the Almond Joy Cheese cake which was excellent!! So overall it was okay, hoping for better but will try again to see if it gets better. Waitress was good and did a nice job

I've only eaten here once. Thought what I ordered was something else and it definitely was nothing I would ever eat other than that I'm sure the foods ok

Took forever to get our meals and when we did, they were lukewarm at best. We brought out of Towners and raved about the Tap House and left disappointed.

First time there. I thought it was really good! Nice vibe. Attentive bartender and waitress.

It was my first time here. The service was slow, the staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered a Korean chicken sandwich which was delicious! Not many New England American restaurants make flavorful ethnic food but I enjoyed the Korean bbq sauce & kimchi in my sandwich. It was a tad bit spicy & I was left wanting more. I share a brownie Sunday with 2 others and it was more than enough. Also, I really needed a cup of coffee, which they had, & it was good!

Great place for a few drinks and bite to eat. I wish they had more vegetarian options (not every vegetarian likes beyond burger or salad). Super convenient location!

Where should I start...looked at the menu and decided on either the baked haddock or the margherita flatbread. It all was determined by the vegetable of the day for the haddock. Only waited 10 minutes to be seated but waited 17 minutes before someone came around for our beverage order. We opted for water with lemon. I asked what the vegetable of the day was. I was happily informed that it was butternut squash. With that I decided in the baked haddock with butternut squash and wild rice, like described on the menu. Husband ordered baked haddock as well but opted for fresh vegetables to dip. Water came quickly but no lemon. It tasted like pool water...super chlorine tasting. The lemon for our waters arrived with our meals. I looked at the meal and asked the waitress about the butternut squash. She said that apparently they changed the vegetable. I kindly told Her that my meal decision was based on the vegetable and was originally going for the margherita flatbread. I also noticed that the meal had mashed potato's and not wild rice (not as if a substitute was asked). She told me that she would order me the margherita flatbread and I could take it home (no charge). My husbands also came with mashed potatoes but he didn't mind. Now onto the food. My husband said his meal was cooked perfectly and tasted good. I asked him to fast my haddock. He agreed that it tasted different than his. I ended up leaving the haddock on the plate and packaged up with vegetables and potatoes (in my own take home container). I was brought a dish of wild rice about 5 minutes after my meal was delivered. So my dinner consisted of wild rice . My flatbread came and I did not inspect it. Wasn't until I got home I realized that they gave me the Buffalo chicken flatbread and NOT my margherita one I originally wanted. Don't think we'll be going back here anytime soon. SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN THE WHOLE MEAL. Don't know how it is that they are getting ready to celebrate their 10 years in business.

Ordered the shrimp scampi for takeout, got home and noticed I was given the shrimp scrappy instead. The portion literally looks like someone's leftovers. I've had in restaurant before and received a much well over 3-4 times the amount of pasta that was pictured. Not worth the price tag ($24) at all.

Great beer, great poutine, great burgers, amazing service, and a great atmosphere. Love the tables on the sides of the bar if someone in the party is under 21 or if they run out of room at the main bar. Definitely a must try!

We really like this place. We got out for our first date night in forever and decided to go here. We sat at the bar and had friendly and efficient service. We came for the KBS 2017 on tap and it was delicious- super excited to get this on tap. We also got poutine and added bacon and that was so yummy. I was pretty full from that but did eat half of the midnight bbq burger with my husband and it was really good as well! We will be back for sure!

7/10 experience. The area is beautiful and the food is delicious, my hostesses name was jillian. She was extremely accommodating and friendly. the female bartender could have been a bit friendlier but other than that my experience was great, highly recommend!

If this place has 3.5 stars, is just overrated. Service, super slow. Noise Level: uncomfortable. Food: 4/10 Our waitress was nice 7/10 for her, but that's all. For the food they serve, the place is also expensive. Overall, do no spend your money here. Bad experience, we won't return.

Nice place, despite being in a strip mall. The hostesses weren't great, and the food service was slow. However, the quality of the food very much made up for it. The backwoods burger was incredible and the tri tip was very generous and tasty as well. Excellent beer list and even a local mead is featured in the drinks menu. Overall, sit at the bar for best service and enjoy. We will definitely be back.

This place has taken a nose dive! Made the mistake of thinking they were still decent from my last visit a few years back so took my mom out for her bday. The waitress was rude and had the personality of a dead fish, made remarks like she was glad we didn't need anything as she had a big party up front. The food was vile, the poutin was cold and the cheese curds were hard and unmelted, my moms steak was raw in the middle and hard and cold as an ice block, my salad was soggy and the pulled chicken was old and dried out. The only decent thing was my son's chicken fingers. Will never be back here.

Used to be a go to place for us but food has really gone down hill.. pepto bismol 3 for 3 of our last visits, service is hit or miss. Sadly it's time for us to move on.. we have such fond memories.

I have been here about 4 or 5 times & was nearby in the area with my boyfriend, so I asked if we could stop for a few apps & beers. He had been here a few times & liked it, so there was no argument on that. It was a little busy at the bar, but the restaurant was fairly open for tables. They have hand sanitizer upon entry & they do get your information (at the end of the meal) for contact tracing. Staff wore masks at all times. It was evident that they were taking the safety of all very seriously. For apps we got the jalapeno poppers & the buffalo chicken wings. It seemed to take an awfully long time to get our order for 2 simple things. We had a couple of drinks while waiting. The jalapeno poppers are more like stuffed jalapenos; they were quite good! I actually like that they weren't fried & caked with a bunch of breading or batter. The wings were decent in size, but the buffalo sauce almost had as thinking "is this even buffalo sauce?" because it was thin & tasted "different" than what we are used to, I suppose. Either way, the food came out hot & at 2 separate times, but no complaints otherwise. Their beer selection is very decent & they had a good variety of IPA's. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the ones they offered & gave some suggestions based on what she liked. I like coming to the New England Tap House! I will be back!

This is the last time I come here. The chicken fingers, Guinness cake, and even the fries were just gross. I kept thinking of plastic things behind display cases, flavored to approximate real food. Never again.

There was a quick wait . The place was packed and very busy. We were sat and the waitress came over and told us about the specials . We we're catching up and didnt pay much attention to the menu . She came back to take our drink orders and see if we wanted any appetizers. We ordered the buffalo chicken dip. It took around 20 mins to show up and when asked she said the kitchen was backed up. No worries as we were all all catching up. We placed our dinner order . It did arrive pretty quickly . I ordered the nachos with chicken and the cheese curds. The nachos had very little chicken if any and the cheese curds were over fried. This caused them all to stick together into a large clump. All in all it wasn't the best food experience as last time we were there . We will try it again at some point.

Excellent grilled chicken Caesar salad on delicious tomato basil wrap! Other meals from my party said their food was very good so would highly recommend.

Pulled pork nachos have to be my favorite. The queso that they put on it is so tasty and I swear almost every chip has something on it! Great service and cool environment.

Love this place Waited for a table of 6 Waitress was not timely and waited quite a while for our meal my dish salmon was delicious Others loved the beef stew 5 orders came out and waited a good 10 minutes for the last steak tip dinner Ordered Med cooked but came out well done , for a 23.00 dish should be cooked to perfection

As a party of 5, we opted for flights, appetizers, and 2 dishes to split. Service was okay. Beer was good, with a decent amount of variety. Food was hit and miss. I was so excited to see pork belly tacos, then I tried them... burger was good... poutine was good. Food fell into expected pub food and some with a twist, unfortunately, the twists weren't necessarily successful. Pricing was reasonable. A good but not great experience.

Pleasantly surprised by this place, stopped by for a quick bite and everything was so good! We had Kate as our server and she was very accommodating and friendly. Everything came out in a timely manner and their prices are very reasonable! Will definitely be coming back

My wife ordered the Cowboy burger well done. It came rare. She sent it back and it came back medium. Sent it back and told them to keep it. I ordered the blue cheese burger medium. It came rare. I suffered through it, but we will not be back. Beyond not being cooked correctly, it was not seasoned at all. This place is very below average.

We have been to the Tap House many times. The first time we went we had great food and service. The last few times have been just good. The food has at times come out warm not hot We have had the Calamari and found it to be rubbery and more batter than actual Calamari. We are dark beer lovers and enjoy the selections that they have when this type of beer is in season. All in all, the New England Tap House is a nice restaurant but can be hit or miss.

The service started out as less than desirable. I sat at a bar top as instructed, but got no service for 5 minutes no a single eye or walk by. I moved to the bar where 1 young lady saw, but never acknowledged me. Finally a handsome young man within 30 seconds asked if I was being helped. When I said NO he proceeded with a drink and food menu. He made suggestions and was very good to a first timer whose not a beer drinker. He even suggested my sandwich once I told him what I wanted. The grilled cheese and slaw were both delightful. I would have certainly added more mayo but it was better that I expected.

What does a skillet of pouting look like half a minute after it arrives? Empty! It's da bomb. This is our go-to spot when in the area. Great food, good people. We usually sit at the bar. The ladies behind the bar take great care of people. The burgers are awesome as are the wings. Highly recommend honey sriracha!

For a place that seems to be such a busy place on a Friday night, they should maybe reconsider taking reservations for 12. We called ours in 3 days in advance and had to wait 40 mins to be seated when we had a movie to be at. HOWEVER, our server was phenomenal and totally made up for that piece. She knew we needed to get a move on so she took our food orders first, put them in the system and then came back for our drinks, gave us a couple of minutes and asked if we needed another round of drinks and had all of our checks ready almost immediately. The food was delicious, I got the fish and chips, the fish was golden brown and so tasty and the french fries were crispy perfection. One friend got the brisket that nearly fell apart it was so tender. Another friend got the fish tacos and they looked incredible. 4 stars for the reservation piece, we would have been okay with an honest "no, we just can't take that many on a Friday night" we just needed to plan our night accordingly. Will return for sure! Bringing my husband next time!

Been there a couple times with the Mrs. Nice location nice variety of beers and the food is outstanding highly recommend. Only thing is you may have to wait a long time to get in. Very popular Place

Food was mediocre, nothing super special. We had the giant baked potato, duck wings, nachos, jalapeño poppers, burgers, and Buffalo flatbread. Everything tasted pretty standard. Prices were average. Drinks were good, tons of options. Service was super slow but the place was busy so that could be why. Atmosphere was fun, sporty, bar like. Plenty of parking.

This review is only For the lights at the tables in the back that hang down to almost my eye level and can't be raised Fix that now! That is horrible!

Stopped in on our way to the White Mountains. We sat at the bar and could not have had better service. I had alterations to both my drink and food and Heather and Tyler could not have been more accommodating and attentive. Food and drinks were excellent.

Garbage service. Slow Slow slow and they don't pay attention. They are over staffed but they only pay attention to regulars Ordered tuckrrmans they bring a Maine lunch 2 different beers. We'll see on food

Three words: Lemon. Shandy. Mussels. We came here for the first time for lunch this weekend, and the food overall was very good. I got the Not Your Mama's Grilled Cheese with pulled pork, and it was amazing! For appetizers, we had the cheese curds, which were quite good, and the lemon shandy mussels, which were honestly the best mussels I've ever had. The only reason I'm leaving four stars as opposed to five is for two reasons. 1) My husband ordered the fish & chips, and it was not good at all. The batter on the fish had to of been half an inch thick, and the fish encased inside was mediocre. He had to peel most of the batter off. If you like a VERY thick-battered fish & chips, this dish is for you, but he didn't care for it at all. And 2) Our waitress, while nice, was all but absent after we received our food. I think she had a lot of tables, but we waited a long time for drink refills and to ask for to-go boxes and the check. She never really ever came back to check on us after our food arrived. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!
