Not Your Average Joe's - Nashua

While traveling for business a friend recommended the Nashua location. As is evident in my other posts, I enjoy finding a local spot to enjoy meals while I'm in an area working. I walked into Not Your Average Joe's with some excitement. Nice place, plenty of sports on the tv's, nice draft selection and friendly staff. I asked the bartender her recommendation and she was very excited to talk about the Oktoberfest menu. I was undecided between a bratwurst meal or the pork schnitzel with a potato cake, and red cabbage. She indicated people come to the restaurant just for the schnitzel. Needless to say, I was very underwhelmed. The food had very little flavor, the breading for the pork was partially burned (that was most of the flavoring). The staff was exceptional and the beer selection was great. I will without question visit again to try their standard menu. I'm hoping it is better than last night's meal. The sweet and sour cauliflower with blue cheese was tasty.

Not Your Average Joe’s absolutely lived up to the name—we went all in and have zero regrets. We started with the steak and cheese egg rolls (yes, they are as good as they sound), then ordered the Chicken Parmesan, Korean Beef & Noodle Bowl, Teriyaki Glazed Salmon, Sweet & Sour Chicken, and the Twisted Mac & Cheese with BBQ pulled pork. Yes… we sampled everything. Yes… everything was delicious. And because moderation clearly wasn’t on the menu, we finished with desserts: the Molten Lava Cake for two (which we probably didn’t need but 100% wanted), the Peanut Butter Thing, and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Explosion. Every bite was worth it. Come hungry. Leave happy. And maybe bring stretchy pants.

Excellent food. Great bread service. I had the super crunch salad. It was a spectacular salad.

Date night and couldn’t decide where to eat. We decided on Not Your Average Joes. Neither of us had ever been. We honestly thought their menu was different than it was, that is part of the reason we hadn’t tried it yet. We were pleasantly surprised when seeing some of our favorite comfort foods. Husband got the bbq meatloaf, he thought it was very good . I opted for the chicken parm. The chicken was delicious with a very thin coating and tasted almost as if grilled. Pasta needed a little more flavor but it was okay with the yummy chicken. We had cheese steak egg rolls as an appetizer. Very good. The tropical sangria was delicious and hubby also enjoyed his beer. We will be back as there were a few other things that we would love to try.

Basic beer selection with about 50 percent local drafts to 50 percent standard beers. Confirmed with the bartender, Jenn, that everything is scratch made. I was in town from Austin visiting family looking for an upscale/decent restaurant open on Tuesdays for lunch in Nashua. Not many options but this place popped up. First beer I had was 603 IPA which is a light hazy with citrus forward flavor. (Jenn let me sample 603 IPA and Rockpile IPA.) I went 603 first then Rockpile second. Rockpile is more of a classic malty West Coast style. I ordered the burger med rare with bacon and blue cheese (great pairing). They didn't go to heavy on the blue cheese and the burger flavors stayed balanced. 8 ounce patty which in my opinion is the correct size. Good seasoning and definitely char grilled. Fries were on point, especially as the burger juice dripped on them as I ate. Overall solid burger here.

NYAJ is on our regular rotation. We have some go to options and the seasonal menu updates keep things fresh. The menu has small bite and salad options as well as hearty sandwiches and entree options. So you can go to have drinks and apps, lunch or an interesting dinner. The complementary focaccia bread service is a nice touch. The bar service is great we pretty much always eat at the bar. Only occasionally have had dessert, usually when it's one of the seasonal specials. Definitely give it a try, and it might land on your go to list.

One of my wife’s favorites… we like to go and get a smorgasbord of appetizers… great bread and garlic oil…kids love the pizza… good family friendly place…

Food was fantastic. I have come here multiple times now and food has yet to disappoint. The only reason it's 4 stars and not 5 is pur waitress was really bad. Took 10min to say something to us after we sat down. Drinks were empty for long periods of time. We had to ask for refills even when she came up and took the glass away.
