That settled it; we had to try it. Out of sheer excitement or exhaustion, we forgot to make a reservation. I quickly remembered this mistake as we entered Hooked. People filled every table and seat at the bar. I looked at my bestie with great concern because we were anticipating our first meal of the day. The hostess welcomed us warmly, and then she asked the dreadful question, "Do y'all have a reservation?" We sadly said no, and she immediately began to express regret. Maybe it was the "Grad2026" headband or the disappointment on our faces that caused her to have pity on us because she told us to wait one second. The hostess walked to the bar, then she went to the main seating area, lastly she went next door where there's additional seating. She returned with a smile and motioned for us to follow her. The hostess found us seats at the bar! We ordered, chatted with the locals, and ate a delicious meal. We even made room for dessert which we learned was made by the owner, the hostess! Whenever we visit New Hampshire again, we're definitely stopping by Hooked!

I was heart broken but it was my own undoing as I djdnt make a reservation. Just as I was opening yelp to find another place to try she came and got me from outside as a spot opened up! That's service! And I won't forget it. All the staff was very kind and she checked in with me several times during my meal to make sure it was going well. The ambiance is a little noisy but it's a raw bar that has sports on. The food is delicious. I could have eaten the Cippino forever! The broth was a complex delicious and perfectly spiced tomato base. The seafood was plentiful and large sized. I have never seen shrimp so big! I also ate oysters and had an amazing home made peaches and cream cheese cake. Listen I don't really like cheese cake but I could eat that cake everyday for the rest of my life. Everything from start to finish once I sat down. Was delicious and the staff was very kind. This food was fired fresh in the kitchen. I could see if from my bar seat. So if it took a little bit it was worth it! I'd eat here the next time I'm in Manchester 10/10

I visited this restaurant for the first time, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing…read moreexperience. The food quality and customer service both fell far below my expectations. I ordered the fried shrimp, but it looked and tasted like processed tempura shrimp rather than fresh, hand-breaded shrimp. I also ordered a vegetable roll, which I did not enjoy. When I politely expressed my concerns to the waiter, he seemed surprised and had to get the manager. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, the manager appeared frustrated that I was dissatisfied with both items. He acknowledged that other customers had also complained about the fried shrimp but said no one had complained about the vegetable roll. He then suggested that, in the future, I should order an appetizer first to see if I liked the food before ordering a meal so that food would not be wasted. I found that response unhelpful and dismissive. A restaurant should be receptive to customer feedback and strive to resolve concerns in a courteous and professional manner. Based on my experience, both the food and the customer service were disappointing, and I do not plan to return.

They had been here before and wanted to try the smash burgers. I'm a fan of seafood so I ordered the scallop plate. At only $18 I wasn't expecting much. We placed the order and made our way to the restaurant where it was already all set for us! The cashier who checked us out was friendly and the building itself was nicely decorated and spacious. It was busy for a Friday night but not jam packed. When we got home I noticed that they forgot my tartar sauce- a bummer. But the food itself more than made up for the momentary disappointment. The portion size was huge for the price! There must have been atleast 16 scallops in there. Even though we ordered take out the food was still nice and crispy. The batter was excellent and the fries had a great crunchy coating. I would highly recommend Fish and Chix to anyone in the area. It may seem unassuming but the food quality and portion size is amazing! I'm happy we stopped by and will ask to go again.

I got the lunch special appetizer, which was like biscuit and gravy but instead of gravy it was lobster bisque with lobster meat on top. It was very good. For my my main course, I ordered a large plate of broiled scallops with a baked potato. It was delicious.

But they do have some tables and we were able to put two together and all sit. They had a large tv playing cartoons, so the kids were entertained while we waited. Great menu options for adults and kids. Sandwiches, wraps and salads were our focus, but they did share they offer an incredible seafood menu. Maybe next time. The food was fantastic. Perfect for our group. The onion rings were a huge hit and the fries were crispy and not mushy. My Italian was loaded with everything and worth every penny. A family business it seems and they all were so pleasant and nice to talk to. They even gave me a recommendation for a park to take the kids. Not to go into the details, but this meeting was a bit emotional for me and the mom but worked here and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you and see you soon

It's not authentic Japanese, it's an interpretation of Japanese by Chinese workers and Cooks. Also, Chinese service isn't great and the waiter here isn't attentive and a bit too casual for my taste. The food itself is just acceptable, and for the price not great. The atmosphere also still is pretty weak, and the restaurant is small. It's sort of almost like a hole on the wall. On the West Coast, I've eaten at over 30 authentic Japanese restaurants, and for those of you who aren't Japanese restaurant or sushi aficionados... This food is probably fine. If you know we're good, Japanese food is, don't come here and frankly you may need to drive to Boston to get it.
