    So, it finally happened. After years of driving back and forth past this place, I finally got around to walking inside and actually trying the food. Poor Boy's is one of those places that always stood out to me for its namesake and convenient location. Judging from the hours and menu format, it's clear this restaurant's specialty is breakfast, despite what the numerous photos might have you think. So naturally, I tried the veggie omelet with all the fixins. I gotta say...they live up to the hype. PB gets packed on the weekends, so it's best to arrive here early. Like...before 9:30. The inside is cozy and quaint, but also small. I imagine it doesn't take long for this place to fill up during peak hours. The omelet was pretty simple, but tasty with no singed or burnt edges like how so many other breakfast joints screw up their omelets. They sauteed all the veg prior to compiling the omelet, so that's a bonus. The hashbrowns were an interesting, new texture I'm not familiar with. It's hard to describe, but it's almost like....if hashbrowns were rice. In any case, I dig it and I'll have to try mine with onion next time. The bacon was crispy as requested, though also a little thick. One thing's for sure, you won't leave here hungry. They must've given bestie's hubby like half a loaf of bread's worth of toast; regular AND French (for some reason). I'll stick with my English muffin for now. Overall...like an 8 out of 10. My only real complaint about PB's is the furniture. Well....some of it. Their booths feel like they haven't renovated in decades. Because I definitely had what felt like a coat hanger shoved up my fifth point of contact. I imagine the chairs at the tables are more comfortable, so.....stick with the tables, if you can. I certainly see myself returning for a classic hash and eggs over easy. Till then, I'm giving Poor Boy's Diner 4 pristinely cooked veggie omelets (minus peppers) out of 5.

    Went here before a hike and it was a solid place to go. We were able to sit at a table after waiting for a few minutes. Menu can be slightly confusing if potatoes and toast are included as pasty of your meal due to an addition that the restaurant had to add. But just ask to clarify and the waitress will help. I had the corned beef hash with sourdough toast, two eggs and tater tots. The tots were super crispy and well seasoned. All other parts of the meal were solid. Get here on the earlier side and you get a seat. Also, your entire party needs to be present before you can get a table.

    From the specials menu: the fried pork chops with maple syrup and bacon on top. Added with a side of fries and a side of sweet potato fries

    Simply Excellent food! This was our second time stopping in at this diner. What I really like about it is we went there for dinner and the menu was just so huge. You could get a breakfast favorite, a sandwich, or a full hot cooked dinner. So they really had something for everyone! I ordered an item from their specials menu which was this fried pork chop with bacon and maple syrup on top. I never had anything like it; not only was it gigantic, but it was delicious. There were three medium sized pork chops on the plate. The combination of the bacon and the maple syrup were simply delicious. My friend had the turkey sandwich and dad had the special burger with onion soup and onion rings. Big portions and tasty. You can't go wrong with that. It's located straight off the highway so it's easy to get to. Anyone whether they're old or young will find something to like off the menu and enjoy this comfort food spot.

Walking in 7 minutes after opening, this place was already packed. Full of Patriots fans hooping and hollering to the end of the fourth quarter. Every appeared in a merry mood, and everyone knew each other it seems. Service here was great. Our waitress whipped around the room with finesse and speed, working the bar and tables all by herself. She was to the point but pleasant. The beers are ok, but they aren't anything spectacular. An average selection of nearby beers of all varieties. Going to other breweries in New Hampshire, I know that this state can produce good beers. Perhaps they just had a mediocre selection the week I was there. We ordered a medley of items and most of it was hit and miss. In the sampler, the pork cracklings were decent, although dinner pieces were hard to chew since they turned into a dense fried bit. The fries were ok, but standard. The tator tot was actual pretty good, but there's this sweetness and texture that makes me think of pumpkin? That could be upsetting to some. The chicken tenders are ok, but the breading isn't seasoned or exciting in texture. It felt like how I would fry chicken at home with only one coat of breading. The pickle chips were good, even though they were not spicy at all. If they called these paprika coated chips, then I would agree. But texture wise, they were actually crisp and not super watery. The pulled pork tacos are ok, but they rely more on sweet barbeque sauce more than anything else. The tortillas are subpar in flavor, but sturdy enough to hold everything together. The veggies slaw did add some nice acidity though. The wedge salad here is terrible. I should have looked up what others posted before I ordered it. It was a literal wedge of plain iceberg, with all the other ingredients and fixings dumped in the middle. The stuff in the middle was ok, but nothing felt harmonious. Just a bunch of salad ingredients added to a giant paper tray. It felt like a waste of 9 dollars for what was lazy preparation.

The restaurant itself seems to be more family friendly and sports bar oriented and was decorated quite nicely. The menu is expansive and has a variety of great options. They even have daily specials as well. Our waitress was prompt and really quite lovely. She helped my friend decide on a dish and answered any other questions that we had. I would highly recommend her! We ended up ordering the dip sticks for an appetizer and I had the chowder and half chicken parm sandwich as my meal. The complimentary bread we had was incredible. Crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside with a dusting of Parmesan on cheese. And they were warm too! The bread was served with a whipped butter that wasn't even necessary but still a welcome addition. The dip stick sauces were excellent- I enjoyed the Indian inspired sauce the most but was also blown away by the pesto. The chowder was fantastic. Nice and creamy with a little bit of bacon on top for Smokey-ness. The chicken parm sandwich was nice and crispy with their great bread and even included an extra layer of pesto which I really enjoyed. I'm not a huge fan of too much marinara but this was the perfect amount and they even had extra on the side. If you need a quick but delicious bite to eat I highly recommend stopping by t-bones!

Thanks to some help from yelp and my dads love of steak, T-Bones Great American Eatery was the clear cut choice for dinner and where we headed. This place is absolutely massive and gave me such New England restaurant vibes, with lots of wood, tacky decorations, and big signss absolutely everywhere. The place was very busy on this Saturday night and they definitely seemed understaffed, we waited to check in and get a table for about 12 minutes before anyone came up to the front, but hey, busy nights happen. The menu here was huge and featured almost everything you could want from an American style steakhouse from appetizers and deserts to sandwiches and steaks. I ate a lot of food here, so let's just talk about what I personally ordered and ate. Boneless Buffalo Chicken- This was truly a unique batch of buffalo wings. The breading on these were corn flakes and thats certainly not something I've experienced before, but the corn flakes mixed with Buffalo sauce made for some really freaking good boneless wings. French Onion Soup- Nothing special here, but it was both hot and tasted good, so thumbs up on this. Mashed Potatoes- Standard mashed potatoes paired with the steak, ain't nothing at all wrong with that. T Bone- When you go to a place called T-Bones, you order the 25oz T-Bone. This big, tasty, medium rare, slab of beef had so much flavour and was absolutely fantastic. After four years of eating at expensive steakhouses in Las Vegas, I come to a place like this and they are serving the exact same steaks here for $39.99 and that's something I can truly get behind. The only real complaint with the main course was that I also chose French Fries as a side dish and they forget to every bring it to the table, but since I was extremely full anyway, I didn't bother to bring it up. Overall, T-Bones Great American Eatery was a fantastic choice for dinner and somewhere I can definitely see coming back to on future trips to New Hampshire. I miss places like this from New England and I truly enjoyed every aspect of the T-Bones experience, as did my parents. Hungry? You know where to go!

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.

    A Truly Fantastic Experience Thanks to Our Server…read more We've been coming here for years because the steak tips are absolutely unbeatable, but I'll be honest -- the service in the past has been hit or miss. That's why our experience this time was such a breath of fresh air. I don't write alot of reviews but this was one I couldn't pass up. Our server Secret was phenomenal. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, she managed to be both attentive and genuinely warm the entire time. She checked on us at the perfect moments, never rushed us, and somehow made us feel like we were her top priority despite juggling a full restaurant alone. That level of professionalism and energy is rare, and it completely elevated our night. The steak tips were, as always, incredible, and the espresso martinis were spot-on -- but the star of the evening was our server. Her attentive, upbeat, and downright impressive service is exactly what this place has been needing. She turned what is normally a "we come for the food" visit into a truly memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back (those steak tips guarantee it!), but now we'll be hoping we're lucky enough to get her again. She's an absolute gem.
