    Exterior, there is street parking and parking across the street in the lot

    Our first barbecue New Hampshire was memorable. This place is on point when it comes to barbecue and friendly service.. The restaurant shares space with a brewery. Next door called The tap room, which is a great place to grab your favorite Brew. You'll see some photos from that place. You can eat there also. Overall, the flavor was very good on the meat and the real star of the show where their sauces, especially their South Carolina yellow sauce. That was perfection. The ribs were meaty and tasty. A hidden jam was the turkey, with the yellow sauce. It is money. Only thing that was just okay were the sides. Although the cornbread was good and l is recommended.

    Great little joint for Q and brew from their brewery next door. We stopped in for lunch on Sunday (first time for my wife and second for me) with she choosing the stuffed baked potato (with pulled pork) and I going with the two meats plate (pulled pork and ribs) with Mac and cheese and collard greens. We both loved the pulled pork even without sauce (though I'm finding my favorite sauce is their mustard sauce). My ribs were almost falling off the bone with a spicy rub. Tasty but best with some sauce. The Mac and cheese was very tasty and cheesy but not dry (which is what I look for in a Mac). The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the collard greens. They had a bit of a spicy taste that wasn't my favorite. Overall a great choice for lunch (except maybe a different side for the greens). Staff is very friendly and the folks in the pub gave us a sample of the pumpkin brew (maybe next time we'll have a pint). Definitely worth going back!

    I was excited to see that there was a BBQ location close to where I was staying. There isn't a parking lot but you can utilize street parking. I went during lunch time on a Thursday so it wasn't too busy. When you walk in you do get a hint of that BBQ smell. The person taking my order was friendly and helpful. They even allowed me to sample some of their sides since I wasn't familiar with it. I order the combo meal which gives you 2 meat options and 2 sides. I went with their ribs and something they call the goodness, a mixture of brisket, turkey, and pork chopped up together. The food came out quickly and I took my seat. The place has plenty of seating and it's clean. As for the food, I have to say I wasn't too impressed. It wasn't bad but I just felt that the BBQ flavors weren't there. The ribs were cooked well but you don't get that smokey flavor you yearn for in BBQ. I'll say the presentation is great as it has a nice bark to it. The goodness wasn't too bad but again didn't get too much flavor and smokiness. The mac and cheese was cheesey and creamy but again it lacked a little flavor. The baked beans were good and I didn't expect to have chunks of meat in it which was a pleasant surprise. This is a likable place. The staff are friendly and the place has a nice ambiance. The food may not "meat" the standard of true BBQ (pun intended) but I will say it was cooked well. When you throw in the goodness inside the Mac and cheese it does make it better. Overall, if you're a big time BBQ fan this place may not be for you. But if you're looking for decent food and a cool vibe this place is worth checking out.

    I hadn't thought of Concord, NH as a hotbed for barbecue, but I'm glad my partner and stopped by. It's become one of our favorite spots when we're in the area. The new location on South Main Street is a huge improvement from the old location. It was clean and spacious. There was even the option for outdoor seating. The star of the show is the food. There are good sized portions. The meats (Brisket, Pork, Goodness) taste great by themselves. Adding your choice of sauce only kicks the flavor up a notch. The staff was courteous, professional, and seemed to enjoy where they worked. I look forward to eating there again.

The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. My cali turkey burger came out perfectly cooked and deliciously topped with guac, salsa, chpotle purée and cilantro. Easy ordering via the app as always. This continues to be one of my favorite burgers of all time. It went through a few iterations over the years - the salsa had corn in it for a while (gross), the turkey burger was replaced with a turkey-mushroom burger for a time (yuck), but they went full circle and brought it back to the original. Its the hazards of a rotating menu. I drove over an hour so i could cash in my rewards balance for a free order of fries. The location i used to frequent near one of my company's office locations was turned into an Annas Taqueria which is another brand owned by the same parent company. Now they seem to be down to only Cambridge MA, Concord NH and Portland ME. If im in Concord, I wont hesitate to stop by but the brand is becoming a fading memory unless there is some sort of comeback effort.

    This place is great. It's pricey...so be prepared for that…read more My brother got the avocado toast, ( I think thats what it was) and loved it. I didn't get any food. I ordered a smoothie. Banana/strawberry and holy shit it was incredible!!! I. LOVED. IT!!! Damn it was good. I think it was like $12 tho? Am I crazy to think...meh, it's ok, (the price) I was on a holiday and you are supposed to enjoy whatever? haha!! I would normally never spend that much on a freaking smoothie! HOWEVER! Once we got into Manchester, VT....we saw another The Works Bakery...I SHO DID get another one lol. I was surprised to see that this place is a chain. When we were in Concord...it kind of felt like this was a place exclusive to Concord. Nah, it's not. Thats ok tho. I got a smoothie at a coffee house in just outside Bar Harbor and it was absolute garbage. So it was nice to have one where they actually have you what you ordered. Most places in Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire all allow dogs. I travel with my little Yorkie wherever I go. Alfred loves to travel haha! He is my child...seeing as I do not have any human kids. My dog is my life. So it's nice when you go into places and they welcome dogs. This place....does not tho. Thats boooo! HOWEVER! I TOTALLY understand! I TRULY do! I travel with my dog everywhere, but yes, I do realize this place is a restaurant and they all have their rules. I just love restaurants that allow dogs haha! I am not one of those psychos that will tear a place apart about not allowing dogs. I am one who actually respects policies like this. And yes, I bring my dog with me bc it's just me...and my dog. He is a 6lb Yorkie who I will never leave alone nor would I ever kennel him. I say all this bc so many people out there judge others who bring their dogs everywhere. He is a family member. He comes with me. Just go to this place wherever you run into one. It really is a great place. They were all SO nice in there even when they asked my take Alfie back outside. OH for the record too...I carry my little man everywhere with me. He's not like...running around everywhere...marking his territory lol Atmosphere in this location is very nice. Kinda dark and Lodgy feeling. Its nice. Located too in what I am assuming is a historic building. Noce view of the downtown area too if you take you lunch or whatever outside to their outdoor seating...which I am guessing is probably brought in now...seeing as it is almost December. Ok thats it. I know I rambled a lot here, but I feel it all fits with my review. I ramble a lot to begin with. If you read this...thank you! If you didn't...I will sleep in 5 mins and sleep like a baby :) Thank you The Works for a wonderful first experience. I live in Idaho. Wish we had you here. Thanks for reading YelperWorkers!

The place was packed and it was clear why since for the price and what you got, it is probably the best sandwich place around.
