Kettlehead Brewing at Stevens Mill is a cozy brewpub located just off Central Street in Franklin…read more They have other locations in Tilton, Meredith, and Nashua. The space seems cramped packed in with high top tables and seating at the bar with high ceilings and colorful murals. They usually have 12 Kettlehead beers on tap and packs of cans to go. The food menus are different and unique at each Kettlehead location, which I've really enjoyed. This Stevens Mill location offers a limited menu of tacos, quesadillas, rice bowls, and nachos with choices of chicken, pulled pork & brisket, plus chips & salsa. I stopped by Kettlehead Brewing Stevens Mill recently and there was trivia going on when I arrived here. For takeout, I ordered a Pulled Pork Nachos ($12 plus tax) and listened to the trivia Q&A as I waited learning about more about US geography. The good sized nachos were boxed and ready to go in about 12 minutes. The nachos were comprised of crispy nacho chips loaded with tender roasted pulled pork, tomato salsa, melted cheese, mixed veggies, and a chipotle crema sauce, very well made and tasty. I will definitely get some tacos from this Kettlehead on my next visit!

My friend tried to explain the problem, she then became more irritated and yelled at my friend that she wasn't going to argue with him.

No matter what and we understand how it is with servers, it's very hard for them to actually attend to one table. So we understand and we know how things are made. It takes time to make certain things that you order. It's not quick when certain items but when you order. I'm burger, and it's quicker Vs something more exotic. That's wonderful or something that takes longer to cook. So we waited and waited, and we got our order. And it was so amazing. It was just wonderful, we thank you so much for this wonderful day.

Sue and the bar tender, Jeremiah, however, huddled over the custom drink menu with him explaining several of the drinks Sue asked about. After listening to her carefully describe her taste preferences, he finally suggested a custom Woodford bourbon with lemon juice, amaro, and aperol. Yeah, I don't know what any of that is, but she loved it! And we couldn't pass up on one of the appetizers we saw: Crispy Brussels Caesar Salad, which was described as "crispy Brussels sprouts, house made Caesar dressing, Parmesan, croutons." Well, we just had to have that for sure! But because that would all be too much food, Jeremiah suggested ordering the burger and the salad and he'd split both up for us. Terrific! And man, was that salad more than you could imagine.... Wonderful. Good thing I thought to get a picture of our meals before they were gone!

And honestly -- the pizza is still some of the best on the Seacoast. That crust is unreal. Back when Patrick was managing, the vibe was incredible. He made a point to connect with people, let us sample new beers on tap, and made the place feel like a neighborhood hangout you actually wanted to support. Since the management change, though, the experience has taken a real nosedive. The current manager is frequently outside chain-smoking on the front patio, tossing cigarette butts on the ground, then walking straight back inside to serve tables without washing his hands. On one visit, he brought my food to the table absolutely reeking of cigarettes -- which completely killed my appetite. Service is hit or miss now. The one consistent bright spot is Jade at the bar -- she's fantastic and the only person we reliably get great service from. We also really miss Thursday Bingo. It used to be a fun excuse to make a special trip just for dinner and a game. It's such a bummer because this place used to be a favorite. The food is still excellent, but the leadership, cleanliness, and overall experience need serious attention.

We love their desserts and side salad -- we brought home orzo salad, cous cous, and quinoa - great flavors and perfectly prepared. Do not leave without trying the chocolate cake or the fruit crisps. On top of that, the staff and people there are amazing. They are kind, efficient and resourceful. On my last visit, I was stranded without my keys (don't ask - a real bonehead move involving a car that needs a key nearby in order to start but will run anywhere once it is started) and they found a way to get me to my friend's house and back so I could start my car. I love this place, the food, and the people.

We went on a Saturday night and called ahead to make a reservation, but the employee on the phone said it was a slow night... but it was so busy! I can't imagine what a busy night looks like. The parking lot (one of them, at least) was mostly full and people were parking on the street. Slow night! There's a to-go market when you walk in that you can order desserts or meats from as well as some other goods, which is so cute. It's nice and clean inside, and the atmosphere is almost upscale, but there's still a down to earth vibe in the place. I had the cheese curds with marinara as an appetizer, which were wonderful. My chicken pesto caprese on ciabatta was good but it did taste like something was missing- but I couldn't tell you what. But the sweet potato fries were great! My boyfriend really liked his barbecue pork sandwich too. It may seem like it's the only restaurant in Andover, but at least it's a good one. Check it out!

We had a party of 7 and we were very excited to finally try Dreo. We started with 2 orders of the calamari and the spinach dip special. My husband noticed the calamari also had shrimp which I am allergic to. They happily removed the shrimp but unfortunately it's fried in the same oil (which is completely logical) but everyone at our table (besides me) throughly enjoyed the calamari. I cannot even begin to explain how good the spinach dip was. I'm not sure I'll have want to eat spinach dip without garlic bread again!!! Next up entrees: 2 ribeyes, 1 NY strip, 1 Korean BBQ Bowl, 1 Soy Maple Glazed Salmon, and 1 Tuscan Fried Chicken. I am newly pregnant and to be honest I was not looking forward to eating out because my go to is rib eye but I refuse to eat well done meat so instead I ordered the Tuscan fried chicken. I also asked to sub the mashed potatoes for truffle fries and the veggie medley for green beans. They had no problems with my requests which I loved. I loved every single bite of my chicken and I actually stopped caring that I was missing on steak! In fact every single person at our table loved everything they ate too. We ended our meal with cookie skillets and again absolutely delicious! Now our meal was fantastic by itself but I have to say our waiter Brett was just as amazing!! He couldn't have done a better job and he totally rolled with our parties over the top personalities. Even if the food wasn't outstanding we'd go back just for the service! I really hope of the owners or managers see this; Brett is fantastic and deserves praise!! We will definitely be back and since I still have about 7 and half months to go I will be coming back for more Tuscan fried chicken soon!!
