Puritan Backroom

They say everything is bigger in Texas, but Chicken Tenders are way bigger in New Hampshire, no question. This place has really awesome chicken tenders, awesomely big, and awesomely good. I know its sounds like something you feed only to a five year old, but trust me, if you get them, you will not be disappointed. 5 stars.

Outstanding good and outstanding service by Kelly, she didn't miss a beat. The bakes haddock with buttery crumbs was amazing. The haddock was very fresh and moist. Their French fries are to die for. And don't get me started on their Mud Pie dessert. The pictures should be a solid inclination of the fabulous meal you'll have here.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Puritan with several signature dishes, including the scrumptious chicken tenders for which they are famous. The pita, the rolls, the salads were excellent. All of us had dinner plates that were exquisite, plentiful, and delicious. Had great leftovers! The deserts were wonderful, especially the coconut cream pie. Costs were reasonable for the quality and quantity. Staff consistently attentive. A local family favorite serving nearly a century, be sure to visit and enjoy! Thanks Puritan!!

Just okay; I don’t get the hype. Kids thought chicken fingers were okay, lamb kabob was meh, service was fine, appetizers were meh, expensive for what it is. This looks like a well loved local eatery that trades off nostalgia. Nice gluten free GF options - thanks for that. Lots of families, lots of older patrons - it came across like a cafeteria.

The Puritan Backroom in Manchester, NH is one of my favorite restaurants. I’ve tried many dishes there which are all very good, but the Veal Parmigiana fried chicken tenders dinner with pasta is excellent. Food portions are plentiful - - I take home half for another meal along with the chowder appetizer which is usually good for another meal. Service is generally very good. The wait times can be a little long during peak meal times, but definitely worth waiting for and are value-priced. Eat in or take out and enjoy on a bench at Livingston Park almost directly across the street. Their ice cream deserts are also very good.
