LUNCH SPECIALS!!! Either a sandwich and soup/ salad. Their gluten free bread did not crumble!!! It held up the burger: What an amazing deal, absolutely loveee the bread that they start you with. It feels like fine dining, and they're not stingy with the bread. The salmon bowl is so good but definitely on the sweeter side!! My clam chowder was so good, chunky and a very nice portion. I love their sweet potato fries, salty but nothing crazy, and a huge amount of fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was lunch and not too loud or quiet, got sat really fast and the food didn't take too long.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

TBH expensive for mid. Made reservations just in case but it wasn't crowded. Waitress took a long time to bring water and take our order. We watched others getting bread and their table and it wasn't until we asked for it that she reluctantly brought some. Wagyu burger, chicken and waffles and Thai salad. All just ok. Burger 6.5/10, bun was hard, flavor within the burger was just ok. Chicken needed the hot honey on the chicken. Thai salad was inconsistent. Some pieces of chicken were moist and tasty with others chewy and flavorless. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience was like an upscale Chilis.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you've got an extra $20-25 to spend on a mid grade meal with semi-decent service, this is your place. read more

Went to NYAJ last night. I wanted a pizza since I didn't want to spend a great deal on Dinner. Added mushrooms and pesto. It was a good size. Too much for me which is fine. However, the pesto did taste like it had cilantro in it (ugh!) i asked the server and she wasn't sure. Would love to know. I wish you'd bring back the pistachio pizza from years ago! read more

My family and I came in and had a fantastic experience. James is a phenomenal server! He gave great recommendations and was very attentive throughout our whole meal. I love how they always have specials here and a wide variety of items to enjoy. The buffalo egg rolls were excellent!! They offer plenty of great burgers here! We loved the chicken parm and the Korean beef noodles. Dessert is a MUST here. I suggest the alamos Malbec for my wine lovers out there. They offer gluten free options, non alcoholic drinks, and have vegetarian selections as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere not too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be returning! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Visited on Thursday about 2:30, and it was pretty quiet.... Perhaps the terrible tariff's fears are impacting outside dining along with everything else[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Our service was prompt and efficient but perhaps a bit reserved for being at the bar. I had a Fiddlehead 14 oz. which was very good owever I thought a touch pricey @ $9+. For my lunch I had the turkey club with avocado, aioli, tomato and greens on an excellent toasted whole grain bread. Overall I was impressed and will dine here again. read more

It was from this place , and reason We know saw my food in toilet ( sorry tmi) but they said someone was sick or never washed hands . I will never go back there and having food poisoning is the worst read more

The food is exceptional and a great value. Tuna wontons are wonderful. We get them every time. Herb encrusted haddock is fresh with a house made tartar with dill that is exceptional. An iconic, consistent dish with perfectly cooked broccoli and mashed potatoes that are house made. Bartender was excellent. Bar service is consistently friendly and attentive. Just go here. I'll snob out for a minute. Been to 4 continents in last year and amazing restaurants. NYJ Nashua is a consistent, scratch cooked goodness. Chicken picatta is excellent. Modern interior. Just so good. read more

The food was ok. Nothing that really stood out. We got the chicken dumplings, Mediterranean pizza and a Thai chicken salad with the peanut butter thing for dessert. It was a $50 special that basically gives you a free app. The service was lacking. Slow to greet us, non existent when our water glasses were empty and we got our free bread with the app. Everyone else seemed to get it immediately when greeted. read more

Another family favorite that I try to get to whenever I am in the Boston area. NYAJ also has awesome apps, some of the best bread, and great food/drinks. I especially love their peanut butter thing dessert, although I haven't had it in years now. My sister and I met up with a friend here on New Year's Eve Day around lunchtime. It was not too busy, as expected and we were seated at a high top in the bar area. I stuck to a liquid diet (glass of bubbly) since we had an evening of festivities and a full buffet coming up! My sister ordered her usual malibu pineapple and the mustard crusted chicken and my friend went with the chicken piccata and a strawberry lime rickey. I had a couple bites of my sister's dish and thought it was okay, I've enjoyed some of their other entrees more. I'm happy to report that my bubbly was chilled to a crisp just the way I like it! Pretty standard pricing for the fare as well. We had a great time here catching up together and this will remain on my list of childhood/nostalgic favorites. read more

While running a few errands in NH, I decided to grab something quick to eat and chanced upon this restaurant chain (that I've seen around but have never tried). They had stellar reviews online and sported a packed dining room...so that led me to make that bad assumption again that this would be worth a visit. Well, I guess the above-average part is the friendly service, great atmosphere, and the large selection of brews and juice, but when it comes to the food...it is absolutely lacking, boring, and just about pathetic. So much so, I had a scrunched face of confusion as I left. Food is definitely not your average Joe's. It's below average my friend. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing...but then again, if that is the case, leave it out of the menu. Just come thirsty and you'll have a blast. read more

The server was great in taking our orders and getting everything to us. However my meal of the Crusted Halibut and Broccoli was terrible, no flavor. And the broccoli was so overcooked and bland not even salt helped. My husband had the mac and cheese with buffalo chicken and said his was great. May try again another time but in no rush. read more

The restaurant was pretty busy but we only waited about 15 minutes for a table. The staff was friendly and provided quick service but I didn't like it when the server picked up a piece of pizza off the floor with her bare hands. The jambalaya was amazing. I want more of that. read more

We popped in and ordered their chicken parm, tuna tacos and their sweet and sour chicken. Food came out quickly and everything tasted great. Plenty of choices on the menu and a variety of flavors options. We had great service and enjoyed their bread service. But wish that they didn't mix canola with the olive oil. But the dip was great since it had garlic, herbs and Romano. The restaurant offers a happy hour at the bar. One day , I'll Be able to come back to partake read more

Made us wait 20 minutes to be sat for a reservation and then when we finally were they were out of a main component of half their dishes. We didn't even find out until after we had already ordered items and then were told. read more

Ya know, for a place called "Not Your Average Joe's", they seem pretty average to me. Most of that could be due to the average service we received. It could be due to the fact that their pizza looks better than it tastes. Or maybe....I'm just jaded. Whatever the case, this place is kinda middle of the road for me. It's not bad, but not exactly something I'd write home about. The very first thing that caught my attention about NYAJ was their menu. It's....safe. Like, it's about as average as you could possibly get. Not sure if that's unironic or not. But it's funny as hell! Now at first, I thought about getting the herb crusted haddock. But then I read a comment from another reviewer mentioning the profound blandness of said haddock. Then I also remembered that since a lot of other restaurants mess this up and the wife makes a way better version at home anyway, I'd just play it safe and order a bangin' shrimp appetizer with a cup of chowder and a small cheese pizza. Well, let me tell you.. The appetizers never even came. That is...until I asked. Turns out, the server forgot to put in the order for apps. In the end, I just skipped the shrimp and got the chowder; which was pretty frickin' good, I must say! The chowder had that fresh from the ocean taste to it. It's tough to explain. But if you're from New England, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It needed a little more seasoning, if any at all. A solid 9 out of 10 for this one. The pizza was pretty good, too. Two things I have issues with, however.. 1.) The sauce is a tad sweet for my taste. 2.) The crust was kinda thick on the end. Like, I LOVE the *pizza* part of the...pizza, cuz it reminds me of a classic NY style. But the crust was...overwhelmingly thick. I dunno why, but it seems like Bertucci's got this right back in the day. Well anyway, not too bad. I'd probably try the pepperoni next time to counteract the sweet sauce; 7 out of 10. And wouldn't ya believe it?? I ordered dessert! The Peanut Butter...thing. No, seriously. That's actually what it's called. It was...okay. Not really as peanut buttery as I'd imagine. And I'm a guy that loves peanut butter. The cookie crust was a nice touch. This one wasn't really all that memorable to me. 6 out of 10, could've been more peanut buttery. So, the service started out fine. And then just....trickled down to infrequent visits with forgotten orders and delayed returns. It was....okay....but not the greatest. Was it a staffing thing? Don't know. But let's just say I gave them the benefit of the doubt when deciding on the tip. Honestly guys, I'd say my favorite thing of the whole night was the clam chowder. I'd get a bowl of that stuff next time. As for returning? Well...perhaps if I wanted to try a burger or something. Maybe the bar service will be better. For now, I'm giving NYAJ 3 cups of fresh from the sea clam chowder out of 5. read more

I had reservations for a group of 12 for brunch - and it was a fantastic experience! In the reservations notes I said we were a book club, they set us up in a separate spot, offered separate checks without us asking, and offered to take a group photo! Our waiter was FANTASTIC! We all had a little bit of everything - everyone's food looked so good and the drinks looked even better. I would say - skip the chilaquiles, it's the only time I wish for nachos to be soggy, but instead this was just a plate of nachos. We will be back! Thanks for a great experience! read more

Last meal here while visiting New Hampshire. First time eating here 5/5 hands down the crab cake was so good. Would order again. One of the Top 5 crab cakes I've had so far. Not dry and very flavorful. The crab cake did have some shell pieces. I would chew carefully. Sirloin tip I would give it a 3/5 The Mash Potatoes actually tasted better than the steak on top. Took me by surprise. Steak was still a little bit tender, but I felt like it could have been on the grill a little longer for that extra char. Service was pretty mid. The restaurant was busy, and so was our server. Wanted some A1 sauce, but our server never came back around to ask us how the food was for me to ask for the sauce Also, the random tip the lighting in the restaurant got really dim. Dimmer than usually lighting at restaurants. read more

A group of us were in town visiting friends and decided to DoorDash a meal from here. We ordered chicken piccata, the Cuban sandwich, jumbalaya, and chicken parm. The food arrived in a much better state than you sometimes get a Doorsash order. It was packaged well and included spicy garlic dipping oil and crusty bread. The dishes were all tasty however we all felt the dishes were overly salty. The jumbalaya was very well seasoned but would have preferred the sausage cooked separately and then added because it left a lot of grease in the dish that I soaked up with a napkin before eating it. These are small tweaks and we'd give it another go if in the area. read more

Stopped in yesterday for dinner. Large open space with nice bar area. Friendly staff. Follows covid guidelines. On the more costly side in regards to..well everything so just know what to expect. I knew this already coming in so it was no surprise. We started w the ahi tuna that was amazing. You have a choice of having the tuna on cucumbers, wonton, or both. We had both. 5/5 My husband had the chicken parm. Large portion of 2 breasts w linguine. 4/5 I had the marinated steak on a bed (more like thin sheet) of potatoe and spinach glazed w balsamic. 3/5 Pros: The presentation was superb. The steak tips were nice and tender as well as perfectly cooked. Cons: Price $26 Not filling- this sat on a VERY small portion of mashed potatoe and spinach. The balsamic glaze slaps you in the face w a tart flavor. It was off putting. The tips needed more flavor Suggestions to restaurant: consider doing this dish w average portion of potatoe and veggie on side. Change brand of balsamic glaze that eliminates the strong tartness. Bill for app, 2 entree, 1 beer, Arnold palmer (non alcohol) was $72 before tax. read more

Food - Glad I stopped for random lunch. Great selection of Breakfast for weekend brunch, but lunch sandwiches are terrific, light options, perfect portion and healthy, even gluten free options available. Outstanding flavor and suggestions were great (I tried Chipotle Aoli) superb choice on BLT. Service - outstanding and personable. Ambience- Nice well appointed dining area and bar (if you're into that) separated. Kid family friendly and average food or higher price [with options] to build choices. The options and kind complementary bread and oil/Parmesan authentic and superb for family brunch or date-night weekend. Excellent service! read more

Not Your Average Joes, is certainly not average....at least what I got. I have been to Not Your Average Joe's years ago and brought my Mom. She loved the baked haddock she got and she wasn't impressed with many restaurants. The other night we have been out shopping and decided to stop in the Nashua location. The interior is very well decorated and darkly lit. There are lamps above the tables which give plenty of light for eating. Shortly after we sat down, our server brought some Focaccia bread and oil with cheese, red pepper, garlic and herbs. I ordered a Cosmo which was very delicious. We decided to just get dinner as it was 8:00 and pretty late. I ordered Chicken Piccata and hubby ordered Chicken Parmesan. I will say the dinners took way too long to come out. It was 9:00 before they came. And...there were only 3 or 4 other parties in the restaurant. The server was very apologetic but honestly, I think he forgot to put the dinners in. Anyway, they offered us free dessert for our trouble. My piccata had a super crunchy exterior (bread crumbs I believe) and the sauce was very lemony just the way I like it and a good amount of sauce. The chicken was very tender and delicious. Very, very good. And I get Chicken Piccata everywhere I go. My husband didn't enjoy his as much as his chicken cutlets appeared to be quite a bit thinner than mine and cooked way more. He said the sauce was very good though. I took the rest of mine home and the next day the exterior of the chicken was still crunchy! Very, very good. All in all, I loved it, he said it was OK. Go figure. read more
