Food and service are exceptional. The ambiance is good and the team welcomes you to their restaurant. Great selection and everytime it is very tasty. read more

It was an ok place to eat. Staff was friendly. Food was ok. Glad they could seat us when it was busy.

Went tonite for a celebratory dinner. Have been in the past, but hadn't been in several months. We ordered our Go To Meals. Not only had the prices gone up 4.00 - 5.00, but the portions were considerably smaller. The waitress was also working the bar and we had to wait a long time for her to come and check on things. Needless to say, we won't be returning any time soon. There are too many other good restaurants in the area. Did I mention their outrageous drink prices ? read more

Probably one of the best hidden spots in southern NH. Great service Italian food is amazing I've tried everything on the menu I have no complaints on anything. It's a must try. I recommend calling in for a table when your one your way. Friday's & Saturdays are pretty busy. Quick turn over either way. read more

Great food, large portions and a very nice staff. Wonderful atmosphere. The bar is decent sized as well. The meatballs are fantastic.

Over priced mediocrity. Server didn't know the specials and had no menu knowledge. Scallop appetizer was good but the piccata entree was bland. Took a chance on one of the specialty cocktails (old port) and it was a total mess. Server was unconcerned that there was an untouched drink on the table. Applebee's quality at steakhouse prices- we won't return. read more

I was reluctant to go here because of the reviews but we decided to try take out. We had a 45 minute drive home so thought we could pick up on the way home. We spent most of that time calling and either being put into voicemail or someone saying "can you hold" and never coming back...or coming back and disconnecting us as we talked. We called over and over again. We ended up taking our business up the road to Jamisons and will likely not be giving the Corner Grill a chance again. I guess the reviews were right! read more

Party of six and we had great food and drink. Service was a little disappointing as one meal didn't get served until we were just Ed about finished. read more

Our first time eating here tonight . Bread and dipping oil was very good . A nice big bowl of mussels . Scampi sauce for the mussels was kinda hot with the red pepper flakes but overall good . Baked haddock was delicious. Mashed potatoes came out cold so I sent them back and I got the green beans instead of the julienne vegetables which to my surprise they charged extra for . Both being the same price as a side I would have thought it would be an even trade . Service was good . Our server did a good job waiting in so many tables at once .Overall it was good but just kinda didn't like they charged extra for this and that with our dinners . Same with my husbands dinner . Extra for blackening his scallops and extra for Alfredo because they charged for scampi . read more

We've been to OTC a few times now for dinner and lunch. The panini capris lunch sandwich is perfection. We've had several meals off the dinner menu and all have been delicious. The atmosphere is busy and can be loud with a relatively small dinning area as well as a long bar. Always clean and well decorated. The staff have always been friendly. Would recommend for a lunch or dinner out. read more

Food is excellent you will not go wrong you will enjoy yourself there Whatever you order from the menu I'm sure is terrific

Second time coming here and still not disappointed. The meat rice balls are so addicting. They come out crispy and hot. The Italian Trio was also very good. We didn't care for the alfredo sauce on the lasagna, but the chicken with the vodka sauce was so moist and yet very crispy. The raviolis were so good and cooked perfect. Probably the best thing on the plate. All the servers are attentive and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Food was delicious and drinks as well! Waitress was sweet and friendly and fast! Love OTC!

This is my first time back in the area in three years. I was meeting some relatives that I had not seen in as long, and my Aunt had suggested On the Corner Grill. We made reservations, the food was great. We enjoyed a 3 course meal because we wanted to hang out after not seeing each other, but was told we only had 15 min. left when we were ordering dessert. We did not realize this would be the case but ordered dessert anyway, though we had to eat it quickly. That would be my only complaint as there were empty tables when we were leaving. I don't think we should have been rushed out, especiallly since covid restrictions have been lifted. Otherwise I would highly recommend this restaurant. The menu was great. I had veal Saltinbocca along w a fabulous spinach salad and turtle cheesecake for dessert. Other items ordered were the butternut squash ravioli and chicken francese, lemon cake, and chocolate peanut butter pie. Everyone loved what they ordered. read more

Food is average and overpriced. Service seems to still be in training. Only if everything else is closed.

The atmosphere was great, loved the high ceilings, bathroom was clean! Wait staff was friendly, and courteous. My husband and I like to split, you eat less and can try more. The complimentary bread was warm with a soft center and a nice crispy outside, the dipping oil was an interesting flavor mix of red pepper, garlic, and sun dried tomatoes. We started with the scallops wrapped in bacon with the honey glaze. The scallops were not over cooked but the honey glaze was over cooked and I personally did not like honey on them I think a maple glaze would be better. There was a small cup of sauce also on the plate and so I dipped my fork in to taste it and instantly burnt my tongue badly! The sauce was scalding! Needless to say enjoying the rest of the scallops was difficult. I mentioned to the waitress that the sauce is way too hot it literally soft ball candies on my fork. I told her they needed to take it off the heat as someone could really get burnt badly. I was a little disappointed that no one besides her came out and apologized. Caesar salad came next was good I could enjoy it as it was cold. The seltzer with lime drink was now my favorite. We then shared eggplant Parmesan, I had to let it cool down a lot...but it was crispy with good flavor not overly cooked. The pasta was cooked well. All in all the food was great, I would not get the scallops ever again. Despite my tongue being burned I would still recommend OTC I just would stay away from the scallops!!! read more

I was very happy to be able to walk in and get a seat at the bar tonight as I have enjoyed OTC in the past but the experience literally made me walk out. I was served a drink relatively quickly and was given a menu but was then completely ignored for the next 20+ minutes while the people to my right were served their apps then their main. A couple came in and sat to my left and were immediately served and a food order was taken. I finished my drink and that when I was finally approached and asked if I wanted another drink. I politely informed the server I came in for dinner and had been ignored after I got my beer so she could just close out my tab. She was indifferent to the whole situation and even seemed to try to put it back on my by saying "I just came over to say hi and ask if you wanted a drink". No apology as apparently I was completely in the wrong expecting to be asked what I'd like to eat in a restaurant. I can no longer speak to the quality of the food but service was terrible. read more

This dish is in the running for THE BEST dish I have ever had. I cannot emphasize enough how fantastic this dish was and I am rather hard to please with food. The vegetable risotto doesn't look like anything special but the flavor is to die for. The pesto cream sauce is exquisite. The crab stuffing is incredible with perfectly cooked chicken. The combination of flavors is UNMATCHED not to mention it is a great balanced meal that didn't make me feel gross after eating. We also had the steak and cheese egg rolls which were fantastic. Must try!! read more

On the Corner Grill - Chicken O - Italian Near Me - Derry, New Hampshire

The place is a hidden gem!! My first visit was for my birthday dinner. I really loved the atmosphere. Fine dining, yet, still felt like I was "On The Corner" in Derry, NH. The food is delicious. Everything is fresh and made to order. I've been back several times and can't wait to continue to try new meals! My only hope is they are able to expand. With the intimate seating, there can be a wait. The last time it was 45 mins. With that said, well worth it!! read more

I was really surprised to find out that they give time limits on tables, even when it's not busy. It's one thing to have a policy written somewhere to make people aware that they can't stay at their table all day. But to have the hostess say the time you have your table until while walking you to your table, when the restaurant is nearly empty, makes you feel unwanted and unwelcomed. Also, the food took a while in the kitchen, which is fine, but by the time we were done eating, we only had 20 min left of our 1.5 hour time limit on our table reservation so dessert was out of the question! We were a party of 6, so large but not unusually large and didn't require any special tables or accomodations. The food was decent, not great. The ambience is blah; it's very drab and not nearly fancy enough for the high prices and the weird time limit on tables! UPDATE: I was sick with a stomach bug the entire next day. I blame the shrimp! It tasted off - I shouldn't have eaten it!! read more

I went here for the first time for lunch today around 1:00 PM. I had chicken and sausage Cacciatore and my wife had the Cobb Salad. We were both happy with out meals. My wife also ordered the rice ball appetizer which was also very good. I like the Marinara sauce that came with the rice ball. Our server was very nice. This place seems like a good after work drinks spot. read more

Went to this place for first time. When I walked in it was small but clean and great decor. Only problem was I wasn't greeted when I arrived. I stood by the please wait to be seated sign on the podium. An older women and younger lady were talking. About seating list going back and forth. I wanted until someone acknowledged me and my fiancé. It was about 3-5 min before that happened. We were asked how many. No, greeting, no how are etc. hostess said 30 min. We said ok. Not direction was given. We found a spot and my fiancé went to bar and ordered a Tito's and seltzer. Once We received drinks we tasted them. I couldn't taste one ounce of vodka. We watched as the older women maybe manager and the younger hostess struggle to get themselves organized. Training in operations and perhaps traffic flow is absolutely needed. Summary service sucked, salad was great and was good. Not sure I would go again. read more

I am always expressed when a new restaurant opens and my wife and several friends go for dinner on a Friday night ( there second night open) And three running on all cylinders we all had great meals the price was right and service was A+ including with several visits from the owner. Definitely give it a try. read more

tiny space & a little loud, staff was great in finding us seats at the bar when we mussed iur reservation- food absolutely wonderful

Food is very good (though a bit over priced), they do have a very odd "need a reservation" thing going for them, you can't just pop in on a random night for dinner without a leering eye from the hostess. read more

The is a surprising spot in a small strip mall. Unassuming from the outside. Inside the vibe is cool and upbeat and the food is fantastic! The only reason for a 4 star and not 5 is the need to change up the menu. OTC is very good at what they do, they just need some new items. read more

Ate there for first time yesterday and yes we had reservations. The food was great and so was the waitress until the end. We were told it was time to leave cause people were waiting. Sorry but that is the first time ever that has happened anywhere. Very rude!! read more

Great service and the food was good as well. The waitress was the best server I've had in years. Great anticipation and common sense. Like a dream come true. Very Covid conscious. read more

I love right around the corner and I love this place. My favorite dish is the steak and cheese egg rolls.

Ok, so I will give OTCG two stars for the following reasons. We were there about a month ago. For the most part they are following all CDC COVID-19 guidelines. We started with some appetizers. The fried triangle mozzarella was good, the tomato sauce was not, it tasted like it was out of a jar. The fried calamari was tough, chewy and not good at all. The steak and cheese egg rolls were ok and very greasy. The Chicken broccoli and ziti tasted like chic broth, and butter. I asked for extra garlic and I could not taste any of it. The pork chop valdostana was not bad, but there was really no flavor to it at all. The grilled rib eye, was just ok also. so, the main course meals where not what we had expected for taste and quality. The best part of the meal was the desert. We have all came to conclusion that we will not be rushing back here. read more

We Just treated Dad to Fathers Day lunch here. Everything was amazing! My husband was blown away by how good everything was. We cannot wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! Very friendly staff too! We tried the eggplant Rollatini (definitely the best we've ever have) the Stracliatella A la Romano soup was incredible. For entrees we tried the Ziti alla Vodka, veal Saltimboca Romano, The chicken O, and the OTC.....all were so fresh and full of flavor. We all were saying it was the best meal we have ever had in NH. So happy to have found this place read more

We have loyal patrons since the restaurant opened. Tonight experience was less than stellar on many levels- service by the waitress was poor; we were asked if we wanted bread to which we said yes only to not have it served and asking to have it served; food was in correct when brought to the table and food took unusually long to be served. It is sad to see such a decline in service. read more

On the Corner Grill never fails for me. I have dined in and ordered out since their opening. They have stayed consistent.

If you don't go to this restaurant you're missing out. The owner Tara is an absolute sweetheart, everyone who works there is kind and friendly, in the food is simply amazing. Do yourself a favor and check it out read more

We ran across this little place by chance. My husband had chicken and broccoli and pasta. I had chicken piccata. We also had a small side salad. The food was fresh and hot. My chicken was tender and juicy. The waitress was prompt and attentive. I wish bread had been offered -- we later asked the waitress and she said it's available if you ask for it, but they don't ask you if you want it. Also, the oil and vinegar offered for the salad was balsamic -- red wine vinegar (which we prefer) was not a choice. We enjoyed our lunch and will come back. read more

I would have given 3.5 stars if I could but I scale up. We liked OCG back when they were Buono Panini in Salem so we were anxious to try their revamped restaurant in this new location. All in all it was pretty good, not great, but yeah, good is the right word. The new location is small and on the loud side. We were a party of four and were seated at a table next to the bar. It was very busy and crowded with bar side patrons standing all along that side chatting it up with others seating at the bar. Next time we'll ask to be seated in one of the booths on the other side. Our server was efficient but also seemed a little overwhelmed. Dinner started with some very nice warm light bread a some nice dipping oil. For apps we went with their stuffed portobello mushroom and fried calamari. The mushrooms were great. The calamari, not so much as they were tough and chewy. For entrees we had: Veal Saltimbocca - Just ok. Fair amount of gristle in one slice. Eggplant Parm - Very good. Loved the red sauce. Veal Marsala - very good. Shrimp Special - very good All in all it was a very satisfying dinner and I'll go back, just not in the bar area. read more

I came here during a Sunday Pats game. The place was pretty empty. Plenty of seating and the place looked like it could be set up for a larger party if need be. They have TVs along the bar so you won't miss a second of the game. The hostess greeted us promptly and took us to our seat. It's an Italian restaurant. Overall I was underwhelmed, but not to say the place was bad. For appetizers I had the rice balls. I wasn't a fan, but they were cooked well. I ordered the Super OTC panini for my main meal. They forgot to put the pineapple on it but when I spoke up have we some on the side. The panini was fine. Overall the service was good but I feel the food was pretty average. But I'd still tell you to go try it out for yourself. The prices are very reasonable and and minimum you'll be content. read more

Amazing food! Can not wait to go back. Very clean, covid guidelines were met above and beyond.. staff was so friendly and owner is hands on. I love that! read more

The chicken Marsala was delicious! Only been there once but so far, I'm planning on going back! Also love the warm bread with oil. Didn't like the salad tho, the creamy Italian dressing was good but the lettuce was that like that dark green grass tasting lettuce, I think iceberg with a little Romaine is a better choice but it's not a big deal really. read more

Had the bolognese arancini appetizer to start. 2 nice sized rice balls with just the right amount of sauce, they were sooo yummy . For meals I got the chicken Marsala which is honestly the best I've ever had. My husband got the scallop scampi and really enjoyed it as well. They give you nice fresh hot bread with a seasoned dipping oil. The staff was attentive and friendly & everything was delicious! Highly recommend. We've never had a bad meal here !!!! read more
