    Bonhomme Ben

    Great food. Nice atmosphere. A wonderful and cozy place for breakfast. Would recommend to stop for a bite.

    I had a leisurely delicious breakfast here. The crowds were crazy, yet the staff kept things under control. The service, coffee and prices are great after my 1000th visit here. I recommend Chez Ben to anyone with a hunger to fill!

    Decided to stop and grab a quick bite to eat before going to Church Service. We arrived and it was quite busy and a wait but we lucked out as there are stools at the bar nook that had 2 seats available so it was a quick in and out. My daughter wanted her usual Mr Ben and I had an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. It was delicious and my daughter always enjoys her Mr Ben. This diner still uses written checks like the old school days. Go you won't be disappointed.

    Breakfast Poutine

    Cozy diner that we went to on a whim. They were fast and had our usual breakfast comfort foods. I was missing a bit of home (from the North) and was delighted in the breakfast poutine - really hit the spot. Service was great and our server was attentive, extra star for her dealing with my toddler accidentally spilling water; while we were reprimanding her, she calmed my toddler down saying it is okay and just an accident. We will be back!

    Egg white omelette with Cajun sausage and peppers

    The diner is exactly what you expect from an old school style diner. Swivel stools, great conversation at the 1st come 1st serve bar and smiling staff. Portions are large. There are no gluten free options as a FYI. I got an egg white omelet with rye bread. Mine had peppers and Cajun sausage. My sausage was so good! It definitely carried the omelet because it was on the bland side. It came with probably the best home fries I've had in a while. Of course we tried the poutine. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The gravy, bland and for me, it didn't elevate the fries. I preferred the fries without the gravy. I would come back to sit at the bar and engage in conversation with the friendly consumers over a coffee and the home fries. There was a guy that even covered our meal. Such a good spot to warp back in time and unplug and meet people.

    Cranberry Muffin

    We found this spot in Manchester and we were thrilled we did! Very busy Sat morning but we were able to sit within a 20 min wait. The staff is very friendly and we had a nice quiet seat in the back. I ordered the Large Breakfast Poutine w/Bacon. The portion was huge and could have fed 2 or 3 people. The gravy & squeaky cheese were Legit, which is everything in Poutine. It comes with scrambled eggs inside, choice of meat, and choice of Homefries or traditional French fries in the bowl. I also ordered a cranberry muffin buttered and grilled. My friends ordered straight up scrambled eggs, toast, Homefries, & bacon - kielbasa. The bacon was nicely cooked and thick. The kielbasa was fantastic with a hint of a Smokey flavor. All in all it has a cozy atmosphere, not fancy, but clean. The staff is extremely busy but will help you right away if you call for their attention. Exiting is easy as you don't have to wait for the check. Just head up front when you're done and they will check you out quickly. I recommend you try something Canadian there......and for Pete's sake!...put real Maple Syrup on it. Life is too short for fake maple syrup. You can always order the standard fare at any diner.

    Polska Poutine and Chili Cheese Hot Dog Poutine
    Jackie S.

    Had another great weekend poutine fix at Chez Ben Diner. Straying from the classic original poutine, my partner and I tried the Polska (basically the normal poutine + kielbasa) and the Chili Hot Dog Poutine (no gravy, just chili, cheese curds and hot dogs). We were seated and served pretty promptly given it was a busy Saturday morning. Poutine was just as good as on the first visit with fresh still-crispy fries and generous toppings.

    Cajun omelet
    Wade G.

    Awesome Cajun omelet and great, friendly service! I'll be back for more and highly recommend.

    Best poutine! All dressed!
    Hannah N.

    Best poutine ever! Nice cozy diner feel with delicious breakfast options. The service was great even though it was so busy!

    First time going to Trattoria Toscana an Italian restaurant tucked away in Manchester …read more I must say I had a fabulous time , our waitress was amazing she got us everything we needed and checked on us constantly and was very sweet ! The ambiance was nice and cozy , good music playing in the background , not to loud and easy to have a conversation . To start off we got the Italian meatballs which were amazing highly recommend. We also ordered the mozzarella sticks which I loved the cheese pull was perfection and nice crunch on the outside , highly recommend as well . For my entre I got the NY strip . Served with mashed potatoes and green beans and topped with mushrooms and gorgonzola ! The sides were good but I really enjoyed my steak ! It was cooked medium rare , and the gorgonzola cheese on top was perfection ! I highly enjoyed it ! For dessert I got the tiramisu which was fantastic ( small portion) but very good ! Highly recommend ! Overall 5/5 ! Good atmosphere , good service and great food ! Perfect for family gatherings , eating with friends or even a date night ! Can't wait to be back !

Busy place for a Wednesday evening. Our server, Autumn, was efficient, pleasant, and attentive. My friend and I split rollatinis, which were very good. She also had the veal parm (her go-to meal at TT). I went for Grandma Lena's Sunday Sauce. Don't tell my doctor, but we also had four Aperol Spritzes. My first time; very refreshing. Rolls arrived w a saucer of EVOO mixed w spices. Her VP covered the plate...a very generous portion. Side of penne. My dish reminded me of my sister's best friend, Honey's Sunday sauce. A smorgasbord of different meats and other ingredients slow-cooked all afternoon. There was sausage, braised short ribs, a meatball, etc over spaghetti in a marinara sauce w a dollop of ricotta on top. Both of us took leftovers home. A couple of other things to mention. On Wednesday evening, TT features live music. On this day, it was a singer / guitar player. While she was very good, it can get loud, especially if you're seated in close proximity. Also, entrees took a bit longer to arrive. Maybe because of the crowd? Anyway, food was awesome, drinks potent. A relaxing way to spend an evening. 5 stars

    I've been to Elicit Brewing Company in Manchester multiple times -- probably around six times at…read morethis point -- and every single visit has been such a fun experience. This place is HUGE and has so many different vibes all in one building, which I absolutely love. The drink selection is one of my favorite parts. They have so many beers on tap, plus cider flights, sour flights, beer flights -- all different types of flights if you're like me and enjoy trying a little bit of everything. And if beer isn't your thing, they have cocktails too, so everyone in your group can find something they like. The food is just as impressive. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are AMAZING -- crispy, flavorful, and honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The burgers are delicious, and the desserts? Oh my goodness. The deep-fried Oreos are next-level. Atmosphere is where Elicit really stands out. There's the big open beer hall feel inside, but also different sections depending on what kind of night you're looking for. It can be chill and casual earlier in the evening, then turn into more of a going-out/club vibe later on. There's a cocktail bar upstairs, and as the night goes on the energy really shifts. In the summer they have bands (sometimes outside), a full outdoor bar, a fireplace, two inside bars, a little quieter lounge area with couches, and even a small game room. Bathrooms upstairs and downstairs make it convenient, and you can rent rooms for private parties too. I also like how the food ordering works -- they give you a pager and you pick up your food when it's ready. Tables are first come, first serve though, so definitely save your spot because you can lose your seat if you're not careful, especially on busy nights. It does get packed on weekends, so I recommend getting there early if you want a good table for your group. But overall, it's one of my go-to spots in Manchester when I want good drinks, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a place I'll keep going back to -- and those Philly cheesesteak egg rolls will always bring me back.

    Normally I love elicit! always a good time to grab drinks and food with friends , they host fun…read moretrivia nights and have a dog friendly outdoor patio during the summer ( which I love ). . So I was super excited when I saw they were hosting a galentines day drag brunch !! The drag show was amazing !!! But I was disappointed that there was no BRUNCH food . You can't have a brunch show and no brunch . They did offer a regular menu to order from . The other problem is that there were no servers so we had to order food and go downstairs pick up our own food and. Then bring it back upstairs... which is very annoying if you are going there for a show and have to leave to get food ! Not to mention there was an issue doors were suppose to open at 10 am so we got there early to get seats settle in and order food . However the doors open well after 10:30 . And possibly an issue with the bartenders ( not being available) but they were able to figure that out thankfully by the 11 am show . So a lot of issues .. the show itself was amazing . The food was okay . I did end up getting the grilled chicken sandwich which was good ( nothing amazing ) and the fries were plain no seasoning . 3/5 for the food . The drinks were good ! I ordered the strawberrry Hugo spritz that had elderflower in it which I really enjoyed all flavours were balanced equally (4/5 ) and then I tried the peach hard palmer which I was not a fan off (3/5 ) Drag show 10/10 ! ( highly recommend ) I wish they advertised it a just a drag show and not a brunch + show ( since there was no brunch options ) ! And also a very limited Valentine's Day cocktails ( only one option of a red velvet martini) Overall fun event but need to plan events better if they do plan on hosting and consider adding food specific for the event ( or not advertise as brunch .. if you don't plan on offering brunch food ) !
