    Would recommend Will return The atmosphere was all over the place also because it was open mic night Our server kelcie was the best she knew exactly what she was doing she had great personality and knew her menus It was loud in there so if your looking for quite this is not the place We didn't have a reservation and got right in with 2 people The prices were a little steep for what we ordered there was nothing fancy about the flavors we could cook like this at home

    The brisket weight a la carte is a good deal.

    Wow... This restaurant is massive. The theming of it is brilliant... It reminds me of something you would find in Disneyland. There are three levels, with the top being a bar with a massive 250-in projection screen. The menu is extensive, it's not cheap but it's priced accordingly for the food quality. They smoke on premises. And the desserts are mainly sourced from quality local vendors. The four table sauces all have unique flavor profiles. We loved the Carolina gold option. Frankly everything we had was on point. The only two issues for us were the cornbread being served cold and the meats could have been much hotter coming out to us. They were slightly above room temperature which was a bummer. The combo plate is the way to go, their macaroni and cheese was fantastic. The coleslaw is also tasty. Shaynna our server was terrific. Make sure to tip your servers people.

    My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich and said it was amazing! I had the Pit master Cesar salad, which had sausage, Pulled pork, and bbq chicken. Wasn't sure on the combination on salad but was so damn good!

    Chinese pie - basically a layer of brisket, corn and then topped off with mashed potatoes.

    This was my third time to have a meal here. First time was a large group event with a buffet. The meat was very dry and we weren't impressed. The second time, everything was really fantastic! We all enjoyed our selections. The third time (last night) it was just average/ok. The Chinese Pie is interesting and pretty good, although for the price they could definitely add more meat - it was sparse, but good flavor. The brisket sandwich was not great, but just ok. Stale bun and somewhat dry meat. We felt like you bit into a bowl of cotton, between the bun and dry brisket. The meat plate was much better, my son said. So, it's a toss up and probably hit or miss with food - but the atmosphere is fun and the service was very good.

    The service is very friendly and attentive. The sides of baked beans and Brunswick stew were very good. The cardiac sandwich was flavorful, but hard to eat with the bun being so soaked. I love the vibe of eating in a barn.

    This is our favorite BBQ place. We drive 45 minutes. Ribs Kielbasa pulled pork brisket Chili Stew

    They have a really cool old truck out front that makes for a great selfie or a family celebration photo.

    The food is great ans the staff is amazing! If you're looking for barbecue that is consistently rated the Best of Manchester and New Hampshire, this is the place to be. They often have entertainment in the evening and everything I've seen has been was totally worth the drive! I would recommend them to everyone looking for excellent food, good entertainment and fantastic staff. Check them out, you'll be glad you did. Oh, and the specialty drinks are off the chain! I really like the Key Westside. Lots of parking and plenty of tables. The outside Tiki bar is a destination when the weather is nice. I love this BBQ joint!

These were served with a pea and bacon risotto whose rich flavors matched the meatballs perfectly and the accompanying crisped breads balanced texture for the perfect combo. The pork belly tostadas had a great combination of toppings that gave them a fresh feel and almost made pork belly feel healthy, and the popover short rib dish was perfectly cooked and tasty. This one wasn't my dish, but I managed to snag a nibble and may be ordering it next time if they decide to add it to the regular menu. So good! The dishes were a nice size, leaving room for desert, and the fresh fruit meringue was an excellent finale. The restaurant itself is small, with a bar and just a handful of indoor tables. They had 4 more tables outside, however, which would be great on slightly cooler days. The indoor window seat we got was comfortable and the whole place had a cozy, friendly feel. Service was top notch, from a greeting as we entered to constant attention - we never really noticed our slightly small (bar style) table as all the dishes were cleared so quickly. I loved this place and will probably have to keep returning until I've tried the whole menu. I'm definitely hoping to try the outdoor tables next if weather permits.

    Located inside Revo Casino Manchester, Rebels is a full service restaurant and bar serving pub fare…read moreand libations, formerly Filotomo. Rebels also has other locations around NH inside other Revo Casino locations in Dover, Keene, Lebanon, and Conway. They offer great daily specials here including $5 handhelds (12-3pm), $3 drafts (4-7pm) and 25 percent off food. I've been to the Rebels in Dover several times and that location has also pretty good street tacos there. This location still has the same feel as Filotomo which has a full service bar with seating and table seating along the walls. There are flatscreen TVs, scratch tickets machine, and Keno here. Anyways, I stopped by Rebels in Manchester for dinner recently. The bartender gave me a menu to look at and I got a complementary Revo bottled water. The food menu here offers a selection of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, salads, chowder, flatbread pizzas, main entrees (steak, ribs, pork, pasta, seafood, chicken tenders, beef prime rib), and desserts, same food as the other locations. Much of the Greek Italian American menu of the former Filotomo, is now at Fotia down the street. The prices seem fair here. The bar has 16 draft beers, bottle/can beers, wine, liquor and cocktails. I ordered the Birria Pizza ($11 plus tax) and the Clam Baked Cod ($16 plus tax), both coming out to me at the same time in about 12 minutes. The Birria Pizza flatbread was topped with soft spiced beef, caramelized onions & melted cheese on top of a firm crunchy dry crust, consome dipping broth on the side. The Clam Baked Cod was comprised of a soft baked cod filet with herb seasoned breadcrumb topped with Boston clam chowder, couscous, red onions, roasted red bell pepper, tomatoes, zucchini, mushroom, garlic. I finished both food items, as I was all set. The check was presented which came out to $21.97 with tax, after discount, and before tip. Overall, another pretty good meal at Rebels and attentive service at the bar. I will continue to eat at Rebels whenever I'm already at Revo Casino and DraftKings Sportsbook.

To say the experience was beyond disappointing in an understatement. To be clear, this review is not about the food. As loyal customers who visit Tavern in the Square often we already know and enjoy the menu. The bartender was polite and pleasant throughout the interaction, despite overcharging for food and drinks we did not order. However, the situation overall was extremely uncomfortable and disappointing. We ordered one beer and a green tea shot and before we even finished the drink we were abruptly told we were "cut off". This made absolutely no sense. We were not intoxicated and had barely even started our drinks. When we asked to speak with management the only explanation we were given was that they have had fights there before. That reasoning is COMPLETELY illogical what does that have to do with us as individuals? If that is truly their policy then why was not everyone else at the bar treated the same way? We tried multiple times speaking with the waitress and management to get a clear and consistent answer, but no one could provide one. The responses were vague inconsistent and frankly concerning. At that point we could not help but question whether we were being singled out unfairly. When we raised that concern the staff could not provide any reassurance or clarification they simply avoided the question. For context, we are loyal Tavern in the Square customers and have made over 80 reservations at various locations since January of this year. We have NEVER experienced anything like this before at any of the MA locations. This situation was embarrassing, confusing, and unacceptable. We will NEVER return to this location. Based on this experience we do not recommend this location to others given our concerns about fairness and how we were treated. I have reached out and expect a clear response from corporate explaining what happened here.

NOW huge warning - there is very limited parking in back and the parking lot is split by a church and an apartment building and although the are signs up in the lot in some areas, if you don't pay attention and park in the wrong spot you absolutely will get towed. A family member got towed (we were in the right spot so ok), which left a bad aftertaste in our mouth so to speak. It would be helpful and appreciated if the restaurant was proactive about warning guests to make sure they are parked in the right spots. Put a sign out front of the door/patio area, anything so that you don't end up paying $250 cash only, to get your car back! Not cool!
