We were recently in town for a long weekend and ate at the 110 Grill in Manchester every night for dinner including two large group dinners. I cannot say enough good things about the Manchester location! It is very challenging to eat out and travel with a gluten allergy, but the 110 Grill was a wonderful oasis because they take all food allergies very seriously. In fact, when they greet you, one of the first things they ask is if anyone has any food allergies. Pretty much the entire menu can be made gluten free, which was mindblowing because I am so often limited to salads when eating out. Everything we tried was delicious! We interacted with many staff members over the course of the three days and every host, server, and manager were all rockstars at what they do and also such kind and caring folks. We are so grateful to everyone who made our time there so special! Thank you for taking such good care of us!

The food here was genuinely good, and as my wife has celiac disease, it was a refreshing change to see so many gluten-free options on the menu. Unfortunately, the entire experience was ruined by the terrible service.
Our server was incredibly condescending when my wife mentioned her allergy and asked questions about the menuāand then proceeded to bring gluten crackers with her gluten-free chowder. She also spilled my entire lemonade, didnāt offer a towel or extra napkins to clean it up, and never brought a replacement drink.
Throughout the meal, she was inattentive and rushed, barely checking in and leaving before we could even ask for what we needed. If youāre gluten-free, Iād recommend getting takeout insteadāitās not worth dealing with the dismissive and careless service.

The food was quite good with a fairly simple menu. Excellent gluten-free menu. The gf pancakes were generously sized and fluffy. The burrito was more like a panini-wrap, but tasted okay. The whole wheat pancakes were good. The kids meals were -very- small. Many coffee options with okay coffee. Huge assortment of baked goods. Two downsides:
the meal was very expensive for what it was (like $100 for two adults and two kids) and the entire place has an almost aggressively Christian vibe (Bible verses everywhere, faith-based coloring pages, and C-rock playing loudly), so sit outside if thatās not your thing.

A cozy local restaurant that offers their unique take on classic American cuisine. They are located in a charming building with plenty of street parking available surrounding the establishment. For nicer weather, there is a side patio with tables shaded with umbrellas and their main dining area.
The selection of food is perfect for lunch or dinner and not overwhelming, plus they have a full bar. They serve plenty of local beer and cider, which is an excellent way to sample what the area has to offer. The majority of the menu is gluten-free, and they do offer gluten-free substitutions for sandwiches and pasta. The real highlight of the meal are their spudsters - mashed potatoes made into little conical shapes with a piping bag, probably frozen, and then deep fried. They have seasonings and sauces to choose from to create endless tasting combinations. Absolutely my new favorite appetizer, and I would come back just for these.
Everyone enjoyed their lunch and we were very happy we decided to stop. We will definitely be by again when in the area.

They had lots of gluten-free options which were nice as I am gluten free. The steak tips had a light teriyaki sauce and they were made naturally gluten free. They were nice and tender and you could get roasted brussel sprouts or carrots with it and roasted potatoes and they gave you enough for two people. Very large servings. I would not recommend the apple crisp or the fruit apple crisp. The crisp part was made with something not your typical oatmeal brown sugar and butter. Service was very good and there was no wait in early May.

Bernie's has really gone down hill over the years. $40 for a mediocre lobster roll is insane...$18 for a small coconut shrimp appetizer. The rest of the menu is outrageously priced for minimal food quality. Paying for the atmosphere at this point. It's a rough economy, I get it, but the premium prices don't reflect the food quality whatsoever. What a shame, used to be a great spot.
I WILL credit them an extra star for their gluten free menu, you made ordering much easier for one of the GF parties at our table.

I order to go.
The guy claimed it was "the best pizza in the entire eastern seaboard"... I was very disappointed. Like all the other pizzas up this way, the dough needed salt and was basically flavorless and no gluten build-up. The sauce was great though! Just can't get good pizza in the white mountains. And also, NY and CT are included in the "entire eastern seaboard" so I should've known I would've been disappointed.
All that said, the pizza was just okay. The staff was awesome and seemed very happy to be at work. Ordering was a very pleasant experience!
So for New Hampshire, this is good pizza. Not great, but good. However, don't try to compare any pizza to NY or CT cause they will always dominate.

I have Celiac's disease and find it very difficult to find places to eat. I was pleasantly surprised at how careful our server was and the fact that they make the sandwich on a tray covered in clean paper and that they use a special knife to cut the bread with. I am very sensitive and even though there was the possibility of cross contamination, there was none and I enjoyed having a wonderful sandwich. Thank you.

Love this place, we go here all the time and always bring friends and family at least once when they visit us. Tons of sandwich options, most of which can easily be made gluten free. They are knowledgeable about cross-contamination and even have a dedicated toaster for HOT gf sammies! While the gf bread is the same size whether your order a small or large, the large will be absolutely LOADED with fillings- well worth the large size upcharge. (For regular, non-gf breads there are a variety of sizes and options.) Quality roast beef is obviously the draw here, but please dont sleep on the other offerings. And everyone who works here is a peach, especially the owner.

We stopped into 1750 Taphouse while in the area and were pleasantly surprised. There is a large bar area and a couple smaller seating areas, we were able to get a table right away.

Unlike some low IQ reviewers (Brooke), I realize that restaurants will sometimes run out of high demand items and that doesnāt warrant a 1 star review.

Iām not usually one to complain but my husband and I order from here all the time. We love that they offer gluten free sub rolls and everything we order tastes amazing. We both typically get subs but tonight I decided to get a salad (garden salad with grilled chicken) instead. I opted for the large salad so I could have leftovers for lunch at work tomorrow. The salad was small⦠like barely one serving. I didnāt take a picture and wish I had because Iām not sure what size a small salad would be; clearly not enough for an adult. If Iām paying $15+ for a salad I expect a dinner salad and this was essentially the size of a side salad. Again, I love their food but I was extremely disappointed and wish I ordered elsewhere to actually get a dinner sized salad.

Celiacs review Stopped in last week. Ordered a giant sub on a gluten free roll. They use Udis rolls. Iām always nervous of Cross contamination. Gavin was amazing. They told me it would be a few minutes wait to clear the grill and made it perfectly. No issues and it was nice to see them care about my allergies. I went back the next day. Gavin remembered my name. Came back a week later. He also remembered my name. Omg. Give this young man a raise. I will return and if you have allergies know theyāre doing their level best to take care of you.
