    Chicken and Waffles
    Heather P.

    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. Ambience was like an upscale Chilis. If you've got an extra $20-25 to spend on a mid grade meal with semi-decent service, this is your place.

    This place is incredible. Easily one of our top ten in Southern NH. Will have to come here again even if it is a bit of a drive.

    Thai chicken salad and pizza
    Julie R.

    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.

    The Italian sandwich
    brandon201ba

    Love the vibe of the place and our waiter was very nice and checked in on us a lot!! The food was really good and the focaccia they start you off with is very very tasty I ordered the Italian sandwich and it was a very good sandwich!! And the sweet potato fries I ordered with it were very tasty as well

    Amazing food, kid friendly and great ambiance. Food comes out fast. Quick and attentive waiter. We are coming back again soon!

    MUSTARD-CRUSTED CHICKEN BLT

    timely for how busy it was and the best restaurant food i've had in a while. i even did the close my eyes and little dance how good it was. the kind of food that fills and satisfies you. service was also great.

    BBQ Meatloaf

    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.

    chicken piccata
    Deedrah B.

    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.

    Chef Bryan's Jambalaya
    Jireh H.

    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.

    Ahi Tuna Wontons
    Craig D.

    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.

On a Saturday evening mid October we stopped in hoping for a table but the place was busy so we weren't sure what the wait would be. We walked in and the hostess immediately from the start, before we had a chance to say one word, was snarky, rude and very unpleasant. No hello. No welcome. No smile. Nothing. She asks if we had a reservation, I told her unfortunately we didn't. Her immediate response was to say they didn't have anything and wouldn't for the rest of the night and even if the reservation app says there's a table she wouldn't be accepting it and seating us it in an irritated tone. So ok, was that last part necessary?! How rude. I was shocked and said "really?! Wow. That's how you are choosing to respond?" To which her reply was to say with an attitude and not bothering to even look up or back at the bar, "well you can sit at the bar if you want but you won't find anything." At this point I was disgusted and totally turned off from this place so we left. I sent a message via the website to management, but never received a response. We won't be back. Won't be recommending the place to anyone. What a shame. Will happily be spending our money and time elsewhere.

I asked the waitress which she would pick, Hot honey chicken or the fish & chips? I went with her suggestion and got the Hot Honey Chicken Stack.. it wasnt the best. Chicken was a little over cooked and I had a hard time cutting it. And the taste was just blah.. nothing special to write about.. Def pick something else on the menu. The others all got different things and they all liked there meals. The tater tots and sweet potato fries were great side choices. My husband got the steak and cheese crunch melt.. and I don't know if it's just cuz he loves food or if it ws actually good, but he devoured it (he did mention to say it was good). 2 others got steak tips with mashed and broccoli, no complaints and the other 2 got a club and a chicken ranch Handheld. They all enjoyed their meals. Service: its was mediocre. Nothing to brag about. Noone went over and above for me to mention about. Only one check back after our food eas delivered, until it was time to drop off check. Ambiance: its your typical American sports bar scenery. Huge bar throughout the whole place. Pretty busy.

Not surprisingly, the casino features some top tier food. We first discovered the steakhouse gem that is Proper Chophouse. Then....I had a little place called Woodlands Cafe pop up on my list of Yelp recommendations. After looking over the menu, it occurred to me that absolutely NO ONE had reviewed their breakfast menu at the time of writing this review. But I'm about to change all that. Before we get to the food though, I will say their dining room is pleasantly inviting and modern. As you can imagine, breakfast tends to attract smaller crowds. Still, the service was fine. I do wish the server had swung by a bit more to check on my coffee refill. But she was otherwise stellar. As for the food.. Forest Ham Omelet: I gotta say...it's nice to see a restaurant prepare a PROPER omelet. That is to say - it's composed of 3 eggs, cooked light and fluffy and NOT scorched in any way. One thing I want to point out is the misleading description of the cheese they use. See, the menu claims it's a "creamy" Havarti cheese. This led me to believe it was almost like a sauce (which would have been nice). Instead, it was more stringy than anything else. It tasted fine, but isn't what I'd consider creamy. The ham is sliced thin and blends well with the scallions. Overall, a very pleasant omelet. 9 out of 10. Toast: So, I got white toast (of course) and....fair warning, it comes dry. However, they offer both butter and jam. You just have to spread it yourself. Naturally, I prefer butter which had no problems melting into the toast. I also appreciate they aren't afraid to toast it a perfect medium darkness. So many other places seem content with serving up albino toast for some reason. 8 out of 10. Home fries: I was pleasantly surprised to see the onions and peppers mixed in. Normally, I'm not much of a peppers guy. But on this occasion, I was feelin' it for some reason. They're the pre-seasoned kind, too. So, they also pair well with the accompanying ketchup, if that's your thing. The colorful medley made the overall presentation of the dish that much more stunning. Solid 9 out of 10. Coffee: Not much to say about this one, other than my gracious appreciation for the fact it didn't taste like tea. It's always nice to have a medium to dark roast as opposed to the unreasonably faint breakfast blend so many other diners offer. Just be sure to request cream and sugar if you want it. 9 out of 10. Clearly, I'm rounding UP on this review as a whole, even if everything wasn't quite perfect. I think the thing that surprised me the most about this place was how inexpensive everything was, considering the quality. It's hard to believe that, in this day in age, I can spend almost double what it cost me here to eat a similar breakfast at a place like MaryAnn's. Such strange times we live in. Well anyway, I definitely would like to try their lunch/dinner menu sometime in the near future. For now, I feel comfortable granting Woodlands Cafe 5 light and fluffy omelets out of 5.

Service at tables is sub par, slow and not managed well. Not one visit. Multiple visits. We've been there more than a dozen times. It's such a unique place that I want to succeed desperately. Sometimes it is full and super busy but overtime. Some of these issues will catch up with them. It's a management issue. Food is consistent, tasty pub food at a relatively good price point. The challenge is food getting to the table in reasonable timeframes, hot and on time (apps not arriving at the same time as main course). There is an issue with the clarity of the service model. This past Sunday evening is a great example. Not busy. Server more focused on closing at 5:45pm than our table. Didn't see for long periods. We were at a table next to the bar and I saw our beers and wine.l sit there. I ended up getting them myself. One of our three appetizers came out ahead of time the other two arrived with dinner and they were warm at best. When dinner did arrive, the onion rings were cold. There seemed to be a manager, more concerned about busing our table and less about our status. In a past visit, a manager acknowledged the challenges we had and offered a gift certificate. I said it wasn't necessary. I just want to provide the feedback because I love the venue, the beer and the pub food. What is necessary is how fundamentally look at how they serve their customers consistently.
