Puritan Backroom Restaurant

We stopped in here on a whim today. The restaurant is large. It's a little dated but still pretty. It was bustling on a Friday at lunchtime. The staff was so friendly and our waitress Sarah was super nice. The food was really good. Fast service too. We got a buffalo wrap, a club and corn chowder. There were fresh warm rolls and pita bread on the table, a nice touch. We will be back!

First time at the Puritan Backroom. I had tried takeout before but wanted the full experience. Waited about 30 minutes at 4:15 pm on a Saturday but it was organized and was the wait time they gave me. Ordered a mudslide, chicken tender sampler, Greek salad, French onion soup and a pepperoni pizza. Those coconut tenders are a top chicken tender on earth. Everything was great and the service couldn't have been better. Overall a great experience can't wait to come back.

I had to come try the “original” chicken tenders since I tend to order tenders if they’re on a menu! I picked the coconut since you don’t often see them offered at restaurants here. It’s a lot of tenders (I had leftovers) and the duck sauce complements them well. Not the best I’ve had but definitely up there! And of course had to get the hat. The service was good but the place gets really busy. I got there around opening and I heard it was an hour wait for a table by the time I left. I’ll definitely come back and try some of their other tender varieties (and other menu items)!

Driving in from Massachusetts we decided to find a restaurant that had great reviews and wasn't over the top fancy which usually entailed small amounts, higher prices and expensive furniture! The moment we stepped into the Puritan Backroom, it was immediately welcoming with a down home atmosphere. After looking at the expansive menu we made our choices and have them to our server, Katie, who was about as sweet and professional as one could possibly hope for in a server. The food was no disappointment. In fact, it was fantastic. This will be our new restaurant when we come to Manchester for certain.

So I walked into the takeout area expecting the birthplace of the chicken tendie and was confused. I quickly got pointed in the correct direction and really enjoyed the actual restaurant and very friendly staff. I came for the tenders and chowder and left quite satiated and stuffed. Got a peanut butter cup mudslide and to my surprise, it has alcohol. All in all, a nice dinner!
