I want to highly compliment the ambiance, it's not overpacked with stuff on the walls just a simple and light decor with a great lunch place vibe to meet friends or take a work call and have lunch. We got the patty sandwich and wings. The buffalo wing sauce tasted tomato based which I didn't like too much but it wasn't bad. The patty melt was delicious.

The Statesman City Diner briefly opened in September 2025 in Downtown Manchester on Elm Street,…read moreformer Wild Orchid Bakery and Lala's Hungarian Pastry space. They serve traditional American diner fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have a coffee/espresso counter with bakery goods and offers cocktails and mocktails. There is also an outside French fries pickup window on the Cat Alley side of the building, which was already opened for a few weeks. The dining space has rows of tables and counter seating and 4 flatscreen TVs in the front. I stopped by the Statesman City Diner on opening day for an early morning breakfast. There is ample free street parking before 8am in front of the diner. The place just opened for business as the staff was still learning things like the getting familiar with the Toast POS system and handheld portable ordering devices. I was able to seat myself at a table and was given a breakfast menu to look over. I requested an ice water and decided on the Jr. Statesman Open Face Salmon Omelette ($15 plus tax) with 3 way homefries and raisin toast. The food arrived to my table in about 20 minutes after ordering. The omelette was a folded firm scrambled egg with salmon (lox) and ricotta cheese. The 3 way homefries were seasoned and grilled with yellow potatoes, blue potatoes, and sweet potatoes. The buttered raisin toast had a nice sugar coating. The portion size was good, taste of food was good, but the omelette and homefries were not very hot. I did request a to-go box for half the omelette and toast so I could eat later at work. The check with Toast QR code was presented which was $16.28 with tax and before tip. Overall, since the place is very new, the staff (front & back) is on a learning curve with regards to the Toast ordering system (it was offline for a bit), speed of service, and temperature of the food. They are still working things out and may be closed several days at a time.

Reminds me of the good old days before Covid when restaurants weren't all closed by 9pm... Our waitress Jasmine was THE BEST - she was attentive, filled our waters without us ever having to ask, swapped out our silverware and cleaned off the table after appetizers and very pleasant to speak with. Additionally she gave us real suggestions for popular food items on the menu (not just the stereotypical suggestions that also happen to cost the most) and was a breath of fresh air to have a honest and friendly waitress after a long day. Management: we will be coming back because of her stellar service and most definitely will be requesting her if she's available. You have a rockstar employee! Ambiance: restaurant was nice, space was clean and the vibe was nice. We will be back

To-go: Fool me twice, that's on me -- but there won't be a third time…read more Gave this place a 2nd chance, but the experience fell flat. The hostess staff seemed disorganized & lacked basic hospitality skills. Negatives: No dipping sauce options mentioned during online ordering or offered at pickup. Naked buffalo wings it is, I guess! One tiny BBQ sauce cup for a 1/2 rack of ribs? Was that portion meant for tasting or teasing? Sides were "blink and you'll miss them" small. Cornbread as a side option? It should come standard with most meal combos, especially the Pick 2-4. Collards were ok, but saltier than a bad breakup. Fried cheesecake sounded intriguing to me. Sadly, it tasted more like fried rubber. The filling had a weird texture & was dry. Lesson learned -- sauce shouldn't need to be rationed, & dessert shouldn't fight back.

It will get crowded around lunch time at dinner time here. The onion rings were just okay, they're more like onion strings. The Cajun fries were quite tasty and I'd probably recommend those. The portion size is huge for the onion rings and fries, a small order is more than enough for two people. The burgers themselves are on the small side, but fairly priced. The quality was good but we had a couple pieces of nasty gristle.
