We had dinner tonight at On the Corner Grill and everything was excellent. I ordered the scallops…read morerisotto and they were delicious. My friends had the salmon, mussels and calamari, and a steak tip salad-everyone loved their meals. For dessert we shared crème brûlée warm donut dessert with ice cream and whipped cream, which were amazing. Our server, Naomi, was the best-attentive, friendly, and sweet, always making sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience. The restaurant was packed on a Tuesday night, which says a lot about how good it is. The two small cons: when I made the reservation on March 7, I included a note asking for a surprise birthday dessert for my friend Anita after the meal (I had planned to order the Swiss Chalet Cake), but it never arrived. Luckily we ordered the crème brûlée donut to share, which was fantastic anyway. I just wish reservation comments were reviewed so special requests like that can be carried out. Additionally, it was also a bit loud for a small restaurant, especially on a Tuesday night. Overall, everything was perfectly cooked and we'll definitely be going back again soon.

On the Corner Grill has become one of the most enjoyable places to eat in Derry, even if we…read morejokingly refer to it as the gas station restaurant. The location might surprise you, but the food absolutely delivers. They strike a great balance between dependable menu favorites and a steady rotation of specials that keep things interesting. Each of the servers has their own favorites and it is fun to try new things as you are feeling adventurous. The regular dishes are consistently well prepared, with generous portions and flavors that feel thoughtful rather than routine. The specials are where the kitchen really shows its imagination. They often end up being the reason you change your mind about what you planned to order, and it is clear the team enjoys giving guests something unexpected and memorable. Service is warm, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the food arrives with the kind of care that makes you want to return. One small note: they require a credit card to secure a reservation. It feels a little tacky for a neighborhood spot, but it is understandable given the size of the dining room and the impact of no‑shows. Overall, On the Corner Grill is absolutely worth visiting if you appreciate a place that delivers reliable favorites while still offering something fresh and unexpected. If you want it shorter, more casual, or more pointed, I can reshape it.

The calamari was great, crispy and flavorful, definitely a highlight, although I feel like the…read morerecipe may have changed a bit, but I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong, our waitress was polite, but every time we mentioned something, there just wasn't any follow-through. I had asked for extra bread and a new napkin and they never arrived. When my boyfriend asked for more water, she responded along the lines of she was about to do it, which came off like it was an inconvenience. I also wasn't offered fresh pepper and had to ask for Parmesan cheese, which made things feel a little off. I ordered the Linguine ai Frutti di Mare with clams, calamari, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and a lobster tail. The seafood itself was cooked pretty well, but the pasta was heavily overcooked, which was such a bummer because we come here at least twice a year and usually look forward to it. Afterward, I asked if the pasta was homemade and was told you have to specifically request that. I feel like that's something that should be mentioned upfront when ordering. Also, I forgot to mention they add radishes to the salad and no one asked about allergies. When I got mine, there was a big radish in it and I just had to hope I removed them all, which wasn't a great feeling. I don't know what changed, but overall this visit just felt a little disappointing compared to what we're used to.

My wife and I went in hoping for a little Boston North End vibe without leaving Manchester's North…read moreEnd (live close by) on Valentine's Day Eve with reservations (yes, Villaggio, you have my phone number). The food: Mostly hit as we hoped! Chicken parm was great, marinara was excellent! The surprise was the bolognese on my partner's spaghetti side, which was a bit bland, expected the opposite - both were still great to be clear. Chicken Caesar salad was on point as much as a salad can be. ;) The service: This is the real issue. Only two of us, and about 5 seconds after giving my drink order (while my partner was still ordering her drink) and getting a initial look of disapproval when ordering water on the waitress's first pass (wanted to look at the drink menu), I asked to swap the liquor in my Olde Fashion to something she mentioned under her breath when I first ordered it (took me a minute to process it). The waitress said it was "too late" with her handheld because it's instantly sent to the bar. If that's true, that's a pretty bad system, efficiency be damned. We were within earshot of many other tables - our waitress didn't explain dishes or specials like we saw/heard other servers doing (left us feeling regretful with our food choices), and she tried to take my card before I even opened the bill... this is after telling us we had to wait 15 minutes for a second round of bread (haha, which showed up 35 minutes later - petty, but annoying). Things were bad enough with the waitress that we actually asked to box up our mains shortly after receiving them (ate less than 10% of either). This was our second visit (first was takeout, which was great) and our first time dining in. Being in Customer Service and having a history in the restaurant industry, on the way out (after paying and tipping, aka not looking for a discount), I hesitated walking out the door and turned to ask for a manager. The front-of-house host said he'd speak as the manager and responded to everything with a sarcastic "that's unfortunate" / "that's our standards" / "that's too bad" / and sent us on our way. Not big complainers, hate doing it, but this one stuck with us, especially with the high praise and relatively premium prices this restaurant seemingly gets online -- bad taste service-wise, great taste food-wise. Looking around, most of the customers are of an older demographic, and again, most of the waitstaff seemed awesome (especially compared to ours). Would absolutely get the food again. However, as someone that lives on the North End of Elm St, I would never dine in again if this is what they consider acceptable service... what more can we do besides speak up about our concerns, after settling the tab... being told that's "normal" is gross in my opinion. Working in restaurants in the past, if that's their standard, then I distrust their entire approach to service.

My Personal Opinion: Domino's isn't Pizza…read more Let's Roll. I come from the land of Bagels and Pizza. Have I had Michelin Star food? Yes. Have I eaten fried dumplings while sitting on a sidewalk out of a Styrofoam box? I've gone out of my way to do so. Enough backstory. We're all here to see whether or not you should try The Ricochet. The answer is just Yes. If you don't care for why I've come to this conclusion, then stop reading and place your order. For the rest of you: Welcome. I'm telling you that this is the first place not from my land where I can leave it alone. I can eat it as it comes. It's thin and you can tell they care about their ingredients. The sauce itself. Think about that. Looking down at a slice a pizza after you bite into it and ask yourself: "Where have you been all this time?" The ambiance? Well this is a nice looking place. You can come into this place however you're dressed, but it's a respectable looking place. It's got a chill vibe. FULL BAR. FULL. BAR. PEOPLE. The employees? You can tell they believe in this place and not just slinging pies. In a world where people have lost their way, they are a beacon of light letting us know there is still hope. So now you say to me: Why not 5 stars? It feels like you've been doting over them this entire time. You are correct and deserve an answer. They don't do Garlic Knots.

This posting is for the brick and mortar restaurant and bar and not the food truck…read more Buxton's Restaurant finally opened their brick & mortar location in the former La Herradura space in the Metro Market strip plaza. They also operate the popular Buxton's Pizza food truck out of the Derry area. This restaurant & bar offers a casual and cozy dining atmosphere with 3 booths, 2 tables, and seating up at the bar. They also have a wood fired pizza in the open kitchen and classic framed pictures on the walls.  The food menu offerings include a selection of appetzer plates, salads, wood fired pizzas, and desserts (lemon ricotta cake, chocolate tart, cannolis). They offer a limited selection of draft beers from Rockingham Brewing Co, bottles/cans beers & wine, and bottled Coke products. The prices are moderate here. I stopped by Buxton's Restaurant for dinner recently and took a seat up at the bar. Staff brought over menus and a cup of tap water to drink. I placed my order for the Antipasto ($8 plus tax) and a Bianca Pizza ($19 plus tax). My food was served together within 8 minutes. Served in a small bowl, the Antipasto had a variety of stuffed Italian hot peppers (prosciutto& cheese), parm cheese, house pickles and marinated olives in an oil dressing. The 12" Bianca was topped with a light cream sauce, garlic, mozzarella, stracciatella spread, basil, truffle on a thin light soft & crisp pizza crust, minimal char from the wood fired oven.  The food I had was very enjoyable and I finished everything. I passed on the dessert and got the check which was presented on a portable electronic payment reader, $29.30 with tax and before tip. The service was very prompt and the owner also stopped to check on things.
