Slush not worth the calories

Bad Mood BRGR. Waiting over 30 minutes for two burgers and fries will put anybody in a bad mood. wasn't worth the wait! Smash-burgers?These are smear burgers super thin patty smeared. Topped with tomato and a ton of mayonnaise. Served nice & cold. There is no reason for a milk slush. Why can't they just have milkshakes? I read all the great reviews and couldn't wait to try this place. Like everywhere they seemed understaffed. Very disappointing

A BAD BRGR

This was my first night arriving in Manchester, New Hampshire for graduation, and I was not familiar with the town yet. I explored a little, but since I did not really know my way around and was looking for something convenient to eat, I decided to stop at Bad Brgr. I figured a burger and fries would be a safe choice. Unfortunately, the burger lived up to the name. It was not terrible in a shocking way, but it was definitely disappointing. It tasted like a basic fast-food burger and did not feel worth going out of my way for. I expected something better from a place centered around burgers, but what I received was just average at best. The service experience was also not very welcoming at first. It looked like they were preparing for live entertainment, and there was someone sitting near the door, possibly to separate guests coming for the music from those just coming in for food. Without ever looking up, he asked whether I was there for entertainment or just to eat. I told him I was only getting food, but he never made eye contact or offered any kind of greeting. It was not a great first impression. The girl at the register, however, was friendly, and I appreciated that. I took the burger back to my hotel room, hoping it would be good, but it was just underwhelming. Maybe this place is better if you are going for the live music or nightlife atmosphere, especially if you enjoy rock, punk, or that type of entertainment. But as far as the food is concerned, I would not recommend it. Based on my experience, the burger was simply no

The burger here was so good! I mean really good. I am not usually a fan of burgers that are cooked flat because the edges are usually crispy and I don't like that but the whole thing was perfectly cooked and juicy. I also got cheese fries, which are HUGE but I did not love the cheese sauce. As I mention later, I'm from out of town so maybe this is a regional thing, but I felt like I wasted my money on the fries. Next time (since I will be back for the burgers) I think I might skip the fries altogether. This is counter service, which was great. The lady who took my order was kind and answered my questions since I'm from out of town. The ambiance is unique. This is counter service food with bar seating and atmosphere. I really liked the combination of the two and it made for a good experience. I sat at the bar with a friend and asked for a mocktail. The bartender had no problem making me something delicious.

Chicken sandwich
Ashleigh K.

Food was delicious. Wide variety for a simple menu. Smash burgers are delicious, must add bacon. They have sliders, chicken sandwich, burgers, the best milkshake I've ever had, and the restaurant has a full bar which was the best thing ever!!! I loved the inside of the spot it was trendy and if you visit you have to check out the woman's bathroom! Bartender was fantastic I think his name was Phil.

Bad burger

Excellent burger spot! My husband and I enjoyed our meal. We had the bad burger and the chop chz with a large fry. All of the food was hot, fresh and perfectly prepared. The customer service was also acceptable. The fried were thin and crispy and the serving sizes were good. The restaurant had a full bar and decent drink offerings. The bathroom was also clean and well maintained. The restaurant was a little cold! We actually ate our meal with our coats on. It was a particularly cold day; but it was a bit frosty. Overall; we are definitely planning to return again. The burger was amazing!!!!

My husband's spicy pineapple marg was good. My strawberry spritzer was bitter and flavorless. The short rib nachos were amazing. So flavorful and a great combination of ingredients. Slider trio was just okay per my husband. I'm told the pulled pork had a strange sweet flavor. My burger was incredibly disappointing, it was not seasoned...at all. Spear pickle on the side, ended up stealing my husband's chip pickles to flavor my burger. There was not enough ketchup to help. Ate half and could not stomach it. Overall, not a great experience,

Oh, dear god, why did we not go here sooner? I'd been eyeing their menu for a while, but it seemed…read morea bit...well, all over the place. I couldn't get a handle on a theme, but I should have just listened to the glowing reviews earlier, because this place is a damn gem. My chef husband and I wanted a nice date night out, and I'm actually the much fussier eater, so I was all preparing for a full eval of this place. From the moment we walked in, I was in love. Such a lovely atmosphere, gorgeous décor and lighting, high coffered ceilings, dark wood. Our server was lovely and attentive and answered questions about the menu, and she was not at all miffed when I didn't love the wine sample I tried, and was happy to swap it out for another (that was fantastic!). On to the food! We scarfed up the pork belly rangoon before I could get a picture, but they were perfection. The ahi tuna tartare doesn't look like the picture currently on their website, and it arrived looking like the typical tuna/avocado/mango stack that we've all had before. But, whoa! The pineapple salsa took it to a new acidic level, and there was something else going on that I can't name, but it was perfect. The bone marrow toast. I can't even... Initially, tasting each component, I was underwhelmed, but once you stack the cheese toast, the marrow, the fruit compote, and the arugula? Total heaven. What a genius dish. And who doesn't love a smashburger? They do theirs flawlessly. Juicy, not overcooked, perfectly seasoned. Usually after a full meal I don't order dessert, but I just had to sample their nightly specials because they'd proved themselves, lol. I also never order a crème brûlée as I find my husband's to be the best I've had, but... I got their vanilla version, and my husband got their peanut butter and chocolate pops. Both were damn divine! The brûlée was maybe more of a pudding with a sugared top, but who cares? It was topped with beautiful fresh fruit, perfect little meringue bites, and a side of whipped cream, and it was heavenly. Perfect service, perfect ambiance, perfect food. We cannot wait to go back!

I finally made it to Stash Box. I thought the decor from the lighting to the layout to the bar was…read morevery cool and place had a hip vibe. Our server was wonderful, friendly, helpful, and informed about the menu answering our questions about drinks and food. We each got a cocktail: my friend really enjoyed her "the strawberry one." I tried it and it was yummy, my other friend got "politics & government" it was a unique smoky flavor, I ordered my standard Tito's martini and it was beautifully put together but admittedly for the price point of the cocktails the glasses were small. We decided to try the small plates and started with the 3: Rangoon, pierogi, and meatballs. The rice cakes were the star of the meatball plate. The pierogis were good not great. The rangoons had a nice crisp and flavor probably my favorite of the three plates. We were still hungry so we split the smash burger and fries and in retrospect due to the prices and quantities of the small plates and how good the burger was I would probably just get that in the future. We also tried the carrots and they were underwhelming, I had high hopes for their flavor and they were good not great. I'd come back again and I'm glad we finally made it here. I had thought about getting "the s'more one" an espresso dessert martini but I was full- maybe next time.

My daughter had told me about this place she said they had karaoke and bands and was an overall fun place. I had hesitated attending during previous visits because of the three star Yelp review grade. I do not think these reviews do The Goat justice. We had burgers, one day beef one day chicken both amazing, delicious margaritas and beer, and amazing tumbleweeds (which are shoe string onion rings). The only thing you shouldn't get is the desert. Cookie was old and we returned it. It's a sort of cookie w ice cream. They didn't have ice cream and cookie was old so skip! However all employees were fantastic and so polite.

I sat at the bar and tried to order two burgers, and that's when the restrictions started coming out one by one. First, I was told the deal couldn't be taken to go. Fine. I wasn't that hungry and was going to eat some there and then box the rest up. Then I was told I had to purchase a drink with the deal. Okay, no problem, I ordered a sweet tea. A few minutes later, I was told I actually needed to purchase two drinks. Okay now Im starting to get a little irritated but still going with the flow cuz I already ordered at this point. After eating some of the food, I asked for a to-go box and was then told they don't provide to-go boxes for the promotion. At that point, I was pretty frustrated. Ive only heard of no to go boxes for places that have an all you can eat. If I had been told from the beginning that I couldnt box up any uneaten food and that I needed to purchase two drinks, I for sure would not have ate there. And honestly, what makes this a one-star experience is that the burgers weren't even that good. So after dealing with all the restrictions, the food itself didn't make the hassle worthwhile. One other thing to watch out for: the receipt appears to calculate the suggested gratuity based on the full price of both burgers rather than the discounted promotional price. If you blindly follow the suggested tip amount, you could end up significantly over-tipping. They also dont have Apple Pay either and I left my wallet so I had to phone a friend to help me out. Between the confusing promotion, poor communication, mediocre food, and questionable tip calculation, this was a frustrating experience. I definitely won't be back.

I ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and my husband had the Caesar chicken wrap. We walked over and picked it up. The place was pretty empty as it was a Monday late afternoon. My husband was okay with his wrap although it wasn't anything special. Mine, on the other hand, was not good. The 'dip' was not able to be dipped at all. It was thick and not at all creamy. The cheese was coagulated. The artichokes were in big chunks and I found some of the fiber pieces from the artichoke and the spinach was scant. the dip did not taste like it was seasoned. Then, the chips provided were burnt. I had to dig around to find maybe 5 that were not a deep golden brown. Next, they included a slew of thinly chopped raw vegetables. I had never received raw vegetables with a spinach artichoke dip. Typically the inclusions are like pita chips and small bread slices Additionally, because of the way the vegetables were cut, I wouldn't have been able to use them, even if the dip was looser and creamier because they were too thinly sliced.. After two bites that I had to use a knife to spread on a few chips that I could find that were edible, I threw it away. We don't expect to be in the area again. But if we were, this place was definitely a one and done for us as far as the food is concerned. The second star is only at my husband's urging because his wrap was okay for him.

McGarvey's... Oh McGarvey's…read more.. I really don't have anything bad to say about McGarvey's. I also really don't have anything good to say about McGarvey's either. It's just kind of... there. McGarvey's is like that one Uncle at family get togethers that just kind of sits on the couch and watches TV the whole time. No one really pays any attention to him, but they all love him. Everyone has better things to do than to watch TV with him, but everyone finds themself sitting on the couch watching TV with him at some point throughout the gathering. That's McGarvey's. Is it anyone's "go-to" bar in Manchester? Probably not. But does everyone love it and find themselves there at some point during the night? Probably not. But this review isn't about other people, It's about me. I don't care if other people don't like McGarvey's (I'm looking at you, Anthony A.) And I don't really care if the bartenders charge an extra $0.50 for rude behavior (I'm looking at you, Anthony A.) And most of all I don't care if people don't want to go there. I do. I want to go there. I do go there. All the time. In fact, I find myself at McGarvey's all the time. When I do go there, it's all the time. I practically live at McGarvey's, that's how much I go there. All the time. I usually go to McGarvey's maybe once a week. I can't really say I'm there all the time, but from the times I have been there, I was. However, I've been there enough to come to know, on a first name basis, all the bartenders that work there. There's this one bartender, I can't remember his name, but he has a bunch of tattoos and everyone loves him. Cream of the crop kind of guy. There's this other bartender there and I can't remember her name either, but she's definitely there too. All the time. Now at this point you may be asking yourself: "Why am I still reading this review?" The pool table at McGarvey's is also really one of a kind. There's an identical one next to it as well. Two pool tables, 12 pockets, 32 balls... Sounds like a great time, right? Wrong. But I don't play pool so can you really take my word for it? Nope. But if I did play pool, would I enjoy playing on these tables? More than likely, yes. The pub's motto is: "What happens at McGarvey's stays at McGarvey's". I personally don't think that's their actual motto because no one has ever said it besides me, nonetheless, it rings true. What happens at McGarvey's stays at McGarvey's because by the next morning, you won't remember anything that happened at McGarvey's... But the bartenders will. They remember everything. And you know where they stay? At McGarvey's. All the time. Speaking from experience, here's a list of things you may bump into at McGarvey's: The counter The doors The pool table Chairs People The trash can More doors More people The urinal (Male) The urinal (Female) (Don't ask) JV The pillars The bouncer (He will not give you a hug) (Don't ask) I've never come out of McGarvey's without a few bruises. Whether it be from running into things because I'm drunk, tripping over everything because I'm drunk, or telling everyone they have something on their shirt then doing the little nose flick thing then they punch me in the head because I'm drunk, I always leave looking quite black and blue. Overall, I will definitely be going to McGarvey's again. I'm there right now, actually. But the point of this review is to help determine if YOU should go to McGarvey's. So let me just say this: If you come to McGarvey's, you definitely should... All the time.

Great music, soul, urban, edm and country- the best blend…read more Bathrooms are dive bar wow but bar is clean and pool tables are usually occupied with a good-time game.
