We sat down and drink orders were pretty quick but they did take awhile, which shows that they really do make everything from scratch. Their drink menu had some really cool, unique drinks on it and I honestly wanted to try them all. If they had a flight, I would have absolutely not been able to say no. We were super impressed with their bourbon selection, and they actually had pretty good prices too, so we were able to try some great options. It was the perfect night cap for our group to indulge in one last drink before bed. Awesome spot to chill and chit chat.

I asked for no shrimp. The flavors were so good! I loved the mango salsa and could eat that right out of the container! The rice and beans were yummy too! I had barely started on the inside of the pineapple and I was stuffed! Somehow hubs managed to eat his entire burrito. Next time definitely will bring a cooler and take home what I cant finish. I also ordered a virgin pineapple coconut margarita. It was probably the only thing I didn't love but it was very good. I think I just prefer it with the alcohol.

The dishes were a nice size, leaving room for desert, and the fresh fruit meringue was an excellent finale. The restaurant itself is small, with a bar and just a handful of indoor tables. They had 4 more tables outside, however, which would be great on slightly cooler days. The indoor window seat we got was comfortable and the whole place had a cozy, friendly feel. Service was top notch, from a greeting as we entered to constant attention - we never really noticed our slightly small (bar style) table as all the dishes were cleared so quickly. I loved this place and will probably have to keep returning until I've tried the whole menu. I'm definitely hoping to try the outdoor tables next if weather permits.

Located inside Revo Casino Manchester, Rebels is a full service restaurant and bar serving pub fare…read moreand libations, formerly Filotomo. Rebels also has other locations around NH inside other Revo Casino locations in Dover, Keene, Lebanon, and Conway. They offer great daily specials here including $5 handhelds (12-3pm), $3 drafts (4-7pm) and 25 percent off food. I've been to the Rebels in Dover several times and that location has also pretty good street tacos there. This location still has the same feel as Filotomo which has a full service bar with seating and table seating along the walls. There are flatscreen TVs, scratch tickets machine, and Keno here. Anyways, I stopped by Rebels in Manchester for dinner recently. The bartender gave me a menu to look at and I got a complementary Revo bottled water. The food menu here offers a selection of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, salads, chowder, flatbread pizzas, main entrees (steak, ribs, pork, pasta, seafood, chicken tenders, beef prime rib), and desserts, same food as the other locations. Much of the Greek Italian American menu of the former Filotomo, is now at Fotia down the street. The prices seem fair here. The bar has 16 draft beers, bottle/can beers, wine, liquor and cocktails. I ordered the Birria Pizza ($11 plus tax) and the Clam Baked Cod ($16 plus tax), both coming out to me at the same time in about 12 minutes. The Birria Pizza flatbread was topped with soft spiced beef, caramelized onions & melted cheese on top of a firm crunchy dry crust, consome dipping broth on the side. The Clam Baked Cod was comprised of a soft baked cod filet with herb seasoned breadcrumb topped with Boston clam chowder, couscous, red onions, roasted red bell pepper, tomatoes, zucchini, mushroom, garlic. I finished both food items, as I was all set. The check was presented which came out to $21.97 with tax, after discount, and before tip. Overall, another pretty good meal at Rebels and attentive service at the bar. I will continue to eat at Rebels whenever I'm already at Revo Casino and DraftKings Sportsbook.

My husband and I were instantly forgotten.

Their menu includes a benny with fried green tomatoes (!!!!) and a sriracha hollandaise. Both my mother-in-law and I ordered it. In place of the home-fried potatoes I got fresh fruit (and ended up with the potatoes anyway, and they were outstanding), and we both opted for regular hollandaise. It. Was. Incredible. It's hard enough to find legitimate fried green tomatoes anywhere north of VA to begin with - but on eggs benny? To die for. I don't even know what anyone else had at the table, all my MIL and I talked about was our food. 10-3 is brunch and I would recommend it for all their amazing items (Lox and a bagel! Tuna poke bowl!)

I'll never return here again. I came into this place a little over a week ago and was prepared to have a relaxing lunch when, after ordering my drink, I visited the men's room and was so disgusted by what I encountered in there that I simply cut my visit short and left. I immediately left because inside the men's room, KC's felt it was in good humor to include blatantly and overtly sexist and misogynistic decor on their walls that equate women to pigs etc. Yea, not really funny. I know. In any case, before leaving, I spoke to a female staff member on hand about why I was leaving who seemed genuinely surprised and said that she didn't know the bathroom had something like this. It bothered me that not everyone at KC's is in on the joke that's being made at their expense. It bothered me enough to start a Yelp account and include pics here because if KC's has the courage to post this in their bathroom, then they should have no problem having the same message revealed here. As a restaurant owner myself, I can confidently say this has no place in a restaurant and I shouldn't be subjected to it when I just want to have lunch. read more

If you like dry grey old brisket. ...this is the place for you! Horrible food. ..if the food didn't make me have nausea ,the waitress with the too short shorts did. I don't mind that attire if you fit in it. It's tasteless and honestly disturbing to have witnessed it. I have been in the restaurant business for over 25 years and have never seen such a site except at maybe a hooters. The problem is, there is zero good BBQ places around here for people to understand good smoked food. Although it may have been this place was just having a bad day we all must remember BBQ is pre made and brought back up to temp. I have been to numerous places as far west as Texas and this place was an F! Sorry that I feel this way and again it's just my opinion but I would rather go to my local butcher and smoke my own stuff for now on. I suggest you take the time to deal with your foh and boh staff and teach them quality control. All the best. read more

We had KC's cater a "gender reveal" party for 35 over the weekend. We ordered the "feast" with ribs, sausage, chicken and pulled pork, with 4 sides (beans, rice, cole slaw and macaroni salad) and corn bread. Delivered. Included plates, silverware, napkins, wet-naps, etc. The food arrived on time and was set up and ready to go at the designated 1:30 time. Ordering for 35 people was enough to feed twice that party size, so the amount of food was no issue. There were overall rave reviews (indeed, I think people who were on the fence about coming decided in favor when they heard that it was being catered by KC's). And there were enough leftovers that everyone departed with a "doggy-bag", which in my extended family is always appreciated greatly. In fact, I might suggest that you (KC's) provide an option for packaging of leftovers since you provide so much food. Overall, it was perfect. Job very well done. Dan read more

I spend quite a bit of town "south of the Mason-Dixon line" and was looking for some good barbecue up here. KC's may not be true "Southern-style" barbecue, but it is extremely good fare. The ribs are meaty and tender, the beef brisket and pulled pork are served in a pleasant sauce, and the chicken is flavorful. The atmosphere is pure "rib house": rolls of paper towels on the tables, sauces in good-sized squeeze bottles, and long tables that invite folks to set together, meet each other, and socialize. THAT'S one of the attractions: meeting other people eating tasty animals! Service is a bit slow, but well worth the wait. The only negative: the "hot sauce" doesn't have quite enough kick to offset the mild flavor of the meat. Well worth the visit. read more

If I could give them 10 stars I would! After living in Manchester for 6 years and finding this gem, it was a no brainer on who was going to cater our wedding. Of course dining for 2 is a lot different than dining for a large group but they pulled it off! The food was just as good, if not better, and the workers that came fit right in and were awesome. Not only was the food amazing and cooked eight there for us, but we had so much left over that each person got a doggie bag at the end of the night too. talk about an awesome midnight snack.

Our overall dining experience was excellent! The restaurant has an amazing ambiance, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered the QQ, which is designed to feed 2-3 people, and it was enough for our family of four when paired with an appetizer and drinks for the kids--all for $80, which felt like a reasonable value. However, the food itself left some room for improvement. The meat was lukewarm, which impacted the flavor, and it could have used more seasoning. I prefer not to rely on sauce to enhance the taste. On a brighter note, the hush puppies were outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and a definite highlight of the meal. read more

Best barbecue in New Hampshire and possibly the best ribs in the northeast US. The dry rub ribs are huge and smoked until falling off the bone tender. I would not want to meet the pigs from which these ribs come. Brisket, pulled pork, sausage are all excellent. Chicken could be a bit smokier. Side dishes are all good. Jalapeno cornbread is moist. The staff are all pleasant and fun. The interior is intentionally rustic to resemble a southern barbecue joint. Parking can be tight on a Friday or Saturday when the tiki bar is open. Oh yeah, did I mention the tiki bar? read more

The food was mediocre at best for any barbecue. The cornbread was decent, and their chili was not too bad, but I was not impressed with the chicken, pulled pork, or brisket. The service was slow; we waited a long time to place our order and receive our drinks. It took approximately 50 minutes to finally get our food after waiting about 30 minutes to place our order. The atmosphere is typical for a barbecue shack, which is why I give them two stars. I do not recommend it if you're accustomed to any Southern barbecue. read more

I'm honestly not a huge fan of BBQ, but had a craving for ribs and stopped in. Ribs themselves were good, but the real winner was my two sides. I went with corn bread and chili, both of which were absolutely amazing. Corn bread was honey glazed and had tiny jalapenos in it, which gave it an awesome complexity. Chili was home made and just fantastic. I ended up taking home a quart of chili and a dozen corn breads because it was so great. read more

I am in a wheelchair and the staff must have seen us coming as ChrisAnn (unsure of spelling) greeted us and assisted us (husband and I) with the doors (which are not automatic) and, as we entered, stated that she already set us up at the first table, which I found to be above and beyond the typical service of any establishment. The menus were already at the table and a chair removed, to make space for my wheelchair. Both of us ordered the steak tips and eggs, which we both enjoyed, cooked exactly as ordered, and as tasty as one can expect. Husband had his with hash browns (?) [pan-fried potato chunks] & toast; mine with grilled English muffin and a side of baked beans. What I really like was the plating, such that none of the food items ran together, that is, the beans were in a small dish separate from the eggs and English and the steak was on a separate small plate, making it easier to cut (without bumping up against other foods). When our son was a young child, we referred to this as "no-touch-atarian" as he really disliked his foods touching one another. Now, some 30+ years later, I have to agree that some food items are just best as stand-alone items. I would have given a full 5 star rating except that I tend to be slightly more critical with my assessments as they relate to accessibility. The parking lot could use a repainting as the lines and handicapped parking symbols were barely visible. They have a ramp to the entrance but, without automatic doors, it can cause difficulties at the top as there is no level area at the top to allow one to stop and prevent the chair from rolling backwards to allow one to open the door. I have a care giver that gets me in and out, so it is not a huge barrier for me personally but I can see it being difficult for more independent wheelchair users. Access to the restroom is a bit awkward but not impossible And the staff helped with that as well.

We had specific requests (baked fish tacos, not fried) and everyone's food was cooked perfectly and delicious. I definitely would come again and highly recommend the Homestead.

As usual we had a great meal at the Homestead. However, while it was great it wasn't the best we've…read moreever had. The spinach dip needs seasoning and my steak was over cooked. I am also a person who thinks half of the experience is the service and I was slightly disappointed at the beginning of our meal but by the end things definitely improved. I was not thrilled that we were not offered bread when the tables next to us were. I was also not impressed that our waiter forgot to bring our salads between the appetizers and main. That being said when it randomly started to rain we were instantly offered to move inside and offered new drinks. I do think we will continue enjoying the Homestead but if I'm paying 300$ for three people I do expect slightly better preparation of food.

The New England pot roast was also good, but I feel like the flavor of the gravy could use some improvement, it didn't taste like beef, just like overcooked carrots.

Ya know, reading some of the previous reviews on this place can be a bit like riding the Yankee…read moreCannonball at Canobie Lake. There are highs, mids, AND lows. Despite all that, I can tell you upfront that our experience was more or less sublime. Naturally, there was one setback in particular that I just can't ignore (which we'll cover later). First, the good.. Clam chowder: Now, this was a March special. So, it's not on the regular menu, far as I can tell. But let me just say...this is by FAR some of the best damn chowder I've had in a restaurant! Granted, we're in New England. So, I'd expect nothing less. Just the same, it's worth mentioning. This chowder was perfectly seasoned to the point of not needing anything additional. And it had ALL the clams! SO many clams!! 10 out of 10, they really need to make this one more often! Queso dip: Again, we have a cheese sauce that's beautifully seasoned and creamy as all get out. One thing that perplexed us was the meat (or lack there of). We thought it would consist of larger chunks, but it was minced. Odd. I also would have enjoyed this one a lot more if the chips weren't so heavily salted. 8 out of 10, the cheese sauce is like liquid gold. Tavern burger: One thing I noticed both here and at the Derry location - not one person had taken a photo of the burgers. Like....ANY of them. So, I'm a guy who likes to view what he's about to get into. Far as first impressions go, this burger looked delectable! I'm talkin' the perfect charred sear, temperature nailed, cheese beautifully melted over top. Not to mention the kaiser rolls they used were brilliantly crisp on the outside, with a soft interior. Thing is....this burger would have been damn near perfect, if not for one thing: it was under seasoned. Quite weird, considering the hand cut fries were well seasoned. 9 out of 10, I'd still get this again and just sprinkle salt on the bottom or something. And for those wondering, wifey enjoyed her salmon salad also. Now then, I came across something peculiar when we first entered the place. When I went to utilize the facilities, one of the restrooms was allegedly closed for maintenance reasons. I say "allegedly" because, turns out....that was only HALF true. You see, their sink was broken. Okay. Fine. Whatever. It would have been helpful if they, ya know....mentioned the sink was broken as opposed to letting everyone THINK the restroom itself was ostensibly closed (as per the sign on the door). The whole thing was misleading and, quite frankly, unnecessary. Felt like a damn goober standing there in front of an almost perfectly functioning restroom. Btw, yes....they had hand sanitizer at the ready to accommodate the lack of sink in one bathroom. Anyway, service was excellent. Just a note though: it's loud as hell in here as you can very well imagine a bar & grill would be. But I weathered the storm easily thanks to my Loop Earplugs (no, that's not a plug. I swear!). So, yeah....overall, not that bad. No where near as bad as some folks suggested. Perhaps that was a different time. In any event, we shall return for future date nights. Till then, Friendly Red's Tavern in Windham is worth 4 bad ass burgers charred to utter perfection out of 5.

Love sitting on the patio here in nice weather. Sadly after today this might be the last time…read more I have been here many times over the years and written good reviews. Today I ordered the habanero steak Caesar salad which I've had many times. Although I ordered the steak medium it was brought out well done. Additionally the lettuce was virtually floating in dressing. Inedible. Now, the scant 3 oz of steak comes sliced and so the chef AND waiter obviously saw that it was black inside, not pink. I wanted to send it back but our waiter never checked on us until the meal was done. Maybe because he knew it was cooked poorly. I waited but finally ate about half and only told him about the problems when he later asked if I wanted to take the rest home. He came back a few minutes later and said he brought it to a managers attention and they agreed it was incorrectly cooked, and they would be giving me a gift card. We paid our bill and waited another 15/20 minutes but he never returned with a gift card so we left. Ps- it wasn't busy. Now, 1. I never return food unless I have confidence in the reliability of the kitchen staff (which I did not here) and 2. Although I didn't have the intention of asking for a refund or gift card, once it was offered by the waiter it should have been presented. $27 for a salad with 3 oz of chewy overcooked beef and half a bottle of dressing is way too much! There are many excellent restaurants around this area to waste my money here.

No one was playing this trivia which seemed out of touch. The food was ok, Applebees status. My husband asked to come a second night to try the desert and that was worse than the first night. Restaurant was busy because of event at the SNHU arena and there was not enough staff. We really just wanted out. Also not sure if related to the restaurant but both my husband and my credit cards were stolen after we paid here. We both had to initiate disputes with our respective banks for fraudulent sales. Since we both paid here, he only used his here, I would say stolen info was taken here. I hope that's not true but check your accounts after paying here.
