    Cod Fish and Chips
    Jennie L.

    My friend ordered the lavender honey pizza and said it was delicious. I ordered the cod fish and chips and was disappointed. The waitress was excellent but did not advise of the steep up charge for sweet potatoes. I was also disappointed with the cod. I thought it was going to be a serving of fish rather than nugget type pieces.

    Smoke meatloaf with Fritos

    Cool little spot. Service and Drinks were excellent. I had the Northeast Sour. I got the Smoke meatloaf. Which was pretty damn good! My BF had the Vermont burger which was also good. No complaints at all! We sat at the bar on the OG side which was ok. The newer side is nicer. Glad we came across this place!

    Viva la onion soup and Harvest Sangria.

    What a unique and great find! From out of town and randomly came across this spot. Vibe, service, food and drinks are fantastic! Will was great with making drink and meal suggestions. I am a huge fan of French onion soup and this one was delightful. Live music added to the fun ambiance. Thanks Will and Backyard brewery for a wonderful evening!

    Farro Out
    Brenna P.

    I was in the area to drop a car off at the airport. I wanted a bite to eat and a drink so I scoped out the local breweries and found Backyard. The parking lot was full when I arrived and the restaurant was poppin' with almost every table and outdoor space full. I ended up sitting at the bar and was served fairly quickly. I got the Farro Out burger (farro burger with fig jam, Brussels, and goat cheese) and a side of fries. The dish is vegetarian and was good. I had a couple of beers which didn't knock my socks off for a microbrewery but they were decent. What made this place the most fun was that it was music bingo night. I was able to get in a couple of rounds before heading out to the airport. Overall, this place is fun and I would definitely return when I'm in the area.

    Kiddos took me here for Mother's Day and it was great! Plenty of parking and plenty of seats. They have tables inside and outside on their pretty large deck. We ate inside and got a booth looking into the brewery. Pretty neat! Our waitress Raleigh was sweet and very attentive and a great person to chat and joke with. She made our experience fun. Now the food!! WOW!! For appetizers we tried their Pretzel Tots and HobGoblin', both were excellent. My husband had their, A Heifer of a Sandwich and he said it was very good. My son got the Spicy Pepperoni Burrata and liked it and my daughter got their Drunken Mac n Cheese with Pulled pork and said it was really tasty. I had the Prime Rib with Mashed Potatoes and oh, yeah, very, very good!! Then we tried a few desserts and again very good. Would loved to have had all my kiddos there, but they are all grown now and it's life and things change. I wished they all stayed little, but I'm also very proud and happy for them. So, if you're ever in the Manchester, NH area and looking for some good food and great service, stop by, you'll be glad you did!!

    I've been to Backyard Brewery many times. Tonight, I had the Vermont burger which was really, really good and work not hesitate to get again. That's in the top of my rotation along with their flatbreads. Tried their new IPA, Gravity Always Wins. I think I'll stick with the Lazy Daze. We had very good service. Food came out promptly & hot. Waitress was very patient with the children. We'll be back.

    The Humble Wilbur pizza
    Peter P.

    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.

    Notorious P I G made the decision for us to try this out
    Bethany S.

    The food was so good! The server wasn't very friendly but it was very busy so that could have been it. No biggie. They weren't rude just... not enjoyable. I LOVED sitting outside on the patio and that people brought their dogs. I'll be back again this summer for sure.

    Happy that they offered half pours of their brews. I'm glad we got there before the crowd picked up because it got crowded. Food was tasty as well. Bacon on my sandwich was super good!

    Excellent Flatbread
    John A.

    Still doing it right. Had a great lunch, good food, good service and comfortable environment. Small plates today, had the smoked meatball with shoestring onions. Followed by the onion soup & haddock soups- both quite good. Last but not least, the excellent beers! Lawnmower & monkey bars are out faves. Great place to hang out, deck is dog friendly. Inside is good for children/families.

    Vermont burger
    Nicole F.

    Came with friends on a Thursday night. We were seated in a booth rather the bar because we intended to eat dinner here. I think they had musical bingo going on at the bar? Our server was friendly and attentive, even letting us sample a couple beers before we made our decision. I sampled their PP&J Beer and though it was better than expected, I'm not a big PP&J fan and opted with a safer Pilsner option. For the food, I ordered the Notorious P.I.G. Tacos with a side of fries. While I really enjoyed the overall taste and flavors of the food, it was unfortunately served to me cold. I did not bring this up to the waitress, as I was very hungry in this moment and we waited awhile for our meals. My boyfriend got the Alabama Fried Chicken sandwich, I was fortunate enough to be allowed a taste of it and I really enjoyed the seasoning of the fried chicken. Others in our party got the It's Chicky chicken sandwich and the Vermont Cheddar Burger both looked like solid choices. All in all this place had a cool atmosphere with friendly staff. You can see the brewery behand a glass wall, it seems they have ample outdoor seating for when the weather is nicer which I would like to come back again.

    Brussells sprouts appetizer
    Brienne C.

    What a great place for a relaxed night out. The patio was crowded when we got there with lots of pups under the table, so they're dog friendly for those of you wondering. We opted for inside seats so we didn't have to wait. There was a lively crowd inside with live music too. Great atmosphere. Red Sox game was on multiple TVs shown throughout the floor. Our server was prompt and drinks and food served quickly. No complaints there. We got the brussels sprouts appetizer and I got fish and chips, he got a burger. Both good! I will def come back and try and to get a patio seat next time.

The beers were good. They pack a lot of flavor in! IPAs were good. Pickle beer was very heavy on the pickle brine flavor. Our service was not great. My wife ordered a Caprese Mushroom dish. When it came out, the waitress told my wife "I feel so bad for you, we are out of basil. I don't know how good it will be, let me know. I feel so bad for you." If she knew one of the four main ingredients was missing, it could have been mentioned before making the dish so as to confirm that we still wanted that option. The dish was otherwise watery and not great. When the server came to take our plates, she should have also clocked that the meal was hardly touched. If you have to say "I feel bad for you" as you serve a customer their food, that's not a great sign. I ordered a steak and cheese which was very good. I ordered onion rings as a side. The server said "that'll be more expensive" as she walked away, despite the menu saying the meal came with the choice of one side. It didn't matter anyways, as my sandwich came with French fries instead of the onion rings I ordered. The French fries were very good, but not what I ordered. I ordered a flight of 6 tasters, and one came out empty. I was told "I don't have that one right now" by the server before she walked away, but not before she spilled the other beers as she put them down. I had to wait for her to come back and ask whether she was waiting for the empty beer to be tapped or if I was supposed to pick a new one, as it was unclear and she hadn't asked what I'd liked instead. Seems like a great venue and atmosphere is probably a lot of fun on a weekend or at night. We weren't expecting anything over the top at a brewery on a Monday for lunch. Beers were decent, and standard pub fare was good. Overall, we would not return based on the service.

It's just as nice to stop in on a less busy day too as the staff is very friendly and love chatting about the different styles of beer they have. Often the owners of the brewery are right at the bar. A quick chat or even a more in-depth discussion with them will quickly show you how passionate they are about their craft. My friend and I both brew our own beer and they're always asking us about our own recent brews, sharing ideas and giving feedback. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, so even on busy days it doesn't feel cramped. They have live music weekly (Saturdays), board games for the family (as well as board game nights) and plenty of delicious snacks for if you get hungry during your beer sampling. My absolute favorite brew from them is the Tragically Hopped double IPA (available seasonally in mid-summer) Black Bear stout (often available in the winter) and their self-named Great North IPA, which is a delicious West Coast-styled IPA that's just as good drinking on its own as it is with a sandwich (or burger and fries if you see it on tap at a local pub).

Regardless, I found a couple I wanted to try and was able to create a flight with them. I loved that they have so many local beers to try from. We also indulged in their free open mic comedy upstairs, which was hilarious. It seems like they always have something going on to keep people entertained. Great experience, if we lived close, this would probably be a regular spot for us.
