Got the chicken and a pepperoni mushroom pizza. Excellent crust and good portions. Place is always the coziest.

The portions are large, the food is very well done. It is basic fair. That is delicious! Nice place to stop for dinner, we love it.

We stopped here today because we really wanted to try a different place in the area. The menu seemed to offer something for everyone so we decided to check it out. First im sorry I didn't get any pictures but i can tell you the portions were big and the food was delicious. I decided on Cajun chicken and it was spicy and yummy! I had a salad and fries along with a dinner roll. Others in our party had lasagna, pasta with butter, steak tips, and chopped sirloin. We all were so full! The desserts sounded good but way to full to even share one lol The decor is really cute with Laurel and Hardy pictures 9n the Wall and the service very friendly. Now i have to go back again and get pictures . read more

Food was average, which wasn't the issue. Service however was horrendous. We waited at the entrance to be acknowledged and rather than be shown to a table one was pointed to and we were told to sit there. It wasn't even set up for service. Still not a big deal. At 30 minutes we asked about our order, was told it was coming. At 40 minutes we asked that the manager check on our order and was told it would be a few minutes. They finally brought it it one of three kids meals and suggested that two of the children share it until the rest was ready, I even had to hunt down silverware at this point. Finally received the other kids meals, several minutes later one adult meal and several minutes after that the final adult meal. The wait from ordering until delivery was well into the hour mark. Worst of all was that the owner was visible during the entire time yet no one came over to explain the wait, apologize or thank us for our patience. When we left I approached the manager to politely express our disappointment and his was response was one of total apathy. He was, in his words, "busy doing other things". read more

Food is very good, but the French fries are not what I expected. Service was fine. Comfortable setting

Cozy small tavern. I has a tuna melt & onion rings. The sandwich was so huge. I had to eat it with a fork and knife. It was very good and the onion rings were crispy and to top that the price was $12. I had one in Manhattan. My total bill came to $26. I would definitely go back and try something different. And the service was really good too, but then it was a Sunday night and there weren't many people in there. read more

Always friendly and welcome staff . And definitely try chicken and rice soup it is the best!

Been to Ollie's about 5 times. Keep hoping the food gets a little better. Always get the fish. I do wonder if it's fresh or frozen. I've been told it's fresh but it doesn't seem it. The batter comes right off if you get fried. We have gotten baked and don't care for the toppings. The bartender is awesome and very accommodating. read more

To start with, I have been to Ollies two or three times before and things were ok but tonight was a disappointment. I had baked stuffed Haddock which was advertised with their own seafood stuffing. I ordered a baked potato and a salad with it. The room was cold due to the air conditioning being set about 5 degrees below my comfort level. I slipped on a Polar fleece jacket and I was not too warm even with that on. The light on the table was too bright so I asked our waitress if could be dimmed some but was told that it could not be dimmed. The salad was clean and fresh but only came with one small grape tomato that was not ripe. The rest was 95% iceberg lettuce with a little onion, a few slices of good cucumber, and some shredded carrot. The best saving feature was a decent blue cheese dressing. The Haddock appeared ok but barely had any flavor. The seafood stuffing which covered it was 99% tasteless. The baked potato was decent but rather small. It came with butter and sour cream. In summary, the main complaints were cold temperatures, tasteless Haddock and seafood stuffing, and an ok but weak salad. I'm not likely to plan a return trip soon. read more

Ollie's food and spirits is the heart of Manchester, always has been and hopefully always will be. The service in this place is exceptional and the food is bound to put a smile on your face. They chill their cold plates. The portions are for two. The prices are modest. Great bar and several items on the dessert menu. We go ALL of the time now- you might, too. read more

Love the place food is great, can they do something about the fruit flies? Service was excellent read more

Visited on 6/10/2024 and both got fried haddock. It came out looking good but tasted off. The fish was not white looking or flaky like normal but more yellow (perhaps frozen). Broccoli soup was cold! This is the first time we've had a bad experience at Ollie's. read more

I've had many of the dishes and enjoyed all of them. Excellent variety and friendly staff. The portion sizes are very large so expect leftovers. One note is that the Buffalo tenders have a completely unique sauce. We like it a lot but it can be a bit of a surprise read more

The steak tips too salty for me. It was cooked the way I liked it . The Cole slaw didn't like it at all couldn't eat it .

Food, ambience, service, and prices all good. I eat there at least once a week. Been eating there for years and never had a bad meal. read more

The food was awesome. Large variety of items on the menu so there's something for someone. Service was great. Greeted when we walked in and almost immediately our waitress showed up for our drink order. We are definitely going back. read more

Very good food, Large portions. Our go to restaurant when daughter is in town. Place was packed on a Thursday night. The bestest cheese fries anywhe read more

Got an appetizer of chicken wings. Burned to a crisp. Never should have left the kitchen. Waitress was wonderful.

My order: Lg cheese pizza Steak and fries Rueben and fries Mediterranean wrap with chicken If you like a rude person answering your phone this place is for you. She had zero customer service skills, could care less you called. Food- NO FLAVOR. Again, if you don't like seasoned food this is the place for you. I'm pissed I wasted money on this and I'm honestly appalled no one in Goffstown has taste buds read more

Just the best! Chopped steak was juicy and tasty. Everything here is great. The service shines. Prices are fair. When in Manchester I eat every meal here. read more

Attended a service for a family member of mine and afterwards we all met as a group for lunch at Ollies. Great food just like I remember as a kid and great service. Your chicken tenders are one of the best I've ever had in the state. If i'm ever in the area again i'll stop in for more! read more

We heard the chef salad here was good, so I had to check it out. Great amount of meat on the salad and the soup was so good. Definitely a good combo. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very nice and friendly. Very nice little restaurant. read more

Ollie's - Soup and salad - American Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I'm giving Ollie's 2 stars because it was my mother-in-law's favorite for years. We'd go here occasionally when visiting her, as it's nearby to where she lived. "Nearby" is probably the only positive thing about Ollie's. The fact that my MIL, who lived well into her 90's, thought so highly of this place tells you a lot about it. Most of the patrons are on the other side of 70, and in all honesty probably can't taste or chew much anymore. We went here again recently for some reason, mostly nostalgia of past visits with MIL, and it was exactly the same as ever. If you do eat here, stick with the simplest things - I recommend the chicken tenders, as they are probably the least likely to be awful. The place is chock-full of pictures of Laurel & Hardy, hence the name. This is a bit odd I think, as no one under 60 probably even remembers them. It's kind of like a shrine, weird. I'm pretty sure most everything is frozen, which is why there are so many fried items on the menu. French fries were terrible - mushy despite all of us asking for well done, because we know what's coming. Servers run the gamut from 'fed up with your shit' to plain aggression. Thumbs up for consistency, ladies! There are so many better options than Ollie's. Fasting is a good one. Oh, and the men's room - good luck if you're not the only one. You'll need to be close friends with anyone else who uses it, as there are 2 urinals and the sink all in a space the size of a phone booth. What's a 'phone booth'? Ask the geriatric patrons, they'll tell you. read more

Food was mediocre at best, fried chicken seemed like it was freezer to fryolator. Fake mash potatoes and God only knows what the gravy was. Their signature meat pie was dry and did not appear to be fresh. Decent dinner salad that came with a roll. Overall edible but could be better. One would expect better quality food for the price and given it was dinner time on a Saturday. Menu dictates a 10 percent price increase on meals which reflected a bit more on bill, maybe it was calculated after tax? I don't know. It is a double edge sword given the times were in, it seems like there is no pride in what one will serve. On a better note, service was decent. The ambiance was okay. Bottom line is both restaurants and patrons are suffering with the crazy prices, hopefully things will get better. read more

As an uber driver I have dropped off many people here. Decided to give it a shot and check it out. Ate prior to coming here so I came here for a drink and a small app. Apon entering it was very cozy feeling, defiantly a laidback atmosphere. We were greeted right away which was great. We sat a bar ( small bar 9 seats) they only have 3 beers on tap. Bud, bud light, octoberfest. Seems many people around had mixed drinks. I had the octoberfest and my friend had tang and tonic which was made prfr Ordered the seafood stuffed mushrooms. Hands down they are the best seafood mushrooms I have ever had. They are fresh mushrooms with homemade stuffing. From this experience it's a 5 star from me. Will update again once I come back and have a full meal here! read more

Pizza was so delicious. Crispy and lite crust. Loaded with toppings. The baked and fried Haddock that others in my party had loved it. Mashed potatoes and gravy was tasty. read more

Could this be possibly one of the best kept secrets for good food and value in the Pinardville/St. A's area? Ollie's is a very popular restaurant with families and senior citizens. The takeout service is just as popular. Located at the corner of Mast Road and Henriette Street, Ollie's Food & Spirits, a casual family restaurant, offers a very extensive menu (over 150 menu items) to suit many tastes including American & Italian fare and a little bit of Greek. The menu offerings include appetizers, wings, soups, salads, sandwiches, gyros, burgers, wraps, subs, pizza, calzones, chicken, pasta, lamb, steaks, meatloaf, ribs, seafood, kids menu, and desserts. The prices here are reasonable and fair with good portions. Dinner entrees ($7.95-$19.95) include soup, cole slaw, vegetable or salad and choice of potato or rice (except pasta entrees). Daily specials are posted on the wall. Beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails served here. The place has four dining areas with booth & table seating, takeout counter seating, and seating in the small cocktail lounge in front (small TVs here). There are black & white framed pictures of Laurel (Stan) & Hardy (Ollie) hanging on the wood trim walls and colored stained glass overhead lights above each booth. My buddy and I stopped here for dinner on a typical weeknight and the parking lot around the restaurant was almost full with some cars parked along the Henriette Street. Wow!! However, we were seated immediately and ordered some drinks Diet Coke ($1.75 each - free refills). For dinner, the Stuffed Haddock ($11.95) was very good and baked with lots of butter and topped with a savory seafood stuffing & Ritz cracker crumb and served with creamy mashed potatoes & brown gravy and a basic garden salad (iceberg). The Spaghetti & Meatballs ($8.95) was a tasty heaping portion of soft spaghetti topped with a hearty marinara sauce & 2 large homemade meatballs and served with a good cup of vegetable beef soup (tomato beef broth, potatoes, celery, cauliflower) & a soft dinner roll & butter. Cannot leave here without having dessert, specifically the homemade creamy Rice Pudding ($2.75), which is a staple here. It's served warm or cold in a sundae glass topped with whipped cream & cinnamon sugar. Overall, this place gets a solid 4 STARS. The food was delicious and a very good value for the money (under $35 including tax and tip). The service was very good and efficient. The friendly waitress was attentive checking up on the meal and the food was brought out in a timely manner. NOTES: No separate checks. No personal checks accepted. read more

The are great people and I love their chicken cordon blue My wife likes the orange chicken They have great deserts read more

Good portions for a good price. Had the onion rings and you could tell the oil was fresh; they tasted like onion rings. Potato skin appetizer was large and delicious. Fries were crispy and not greasy and tasted like potatoes (again, fresh oil). Burgers cooked perfectly. Wait staff was very attentive. If you're looking for a good meal at a reasonable price, this is the place. read more

Husband and I ate lunch there today. I had the Ruben and he had the (don't know what it was called), but I am sure it was a Greek wrap, with a garlic cream sauce, lamb pieces, tomato, lettuce, onions and peppers; it was amazing! The steak fries were great, could have used more salt or seasonings. Overall, GREAT food, BETTER prices! I would DEFINITELY go again! read more

So I decided to try Ollie's after living in Manchester for 10 years, I was not impressed at all, I got two large chicken parm subs for almost 27.00. I don't mind paying that if they were really good but I would just consider them edible. Very disappointed. The breading on the chicken was like almost burnt, tasted old. Thought I would give them a try, I mean they have been there forever, I don't think I will be going back! read more

I was there with my Aunt for a late lunch. She ordered chicken with potatoes and gravy she took a couple bites and asked if my meal was hot, I said it's so so, I tasted her potatoes and they were iced cold I sent them back and they came back with new potatoes and yet again iced cold. She told me she'll never go back there again. read more

Ollie's lost a long time customer today. I took my mother and another lady to lunch. Worst corn chowder we have ever had which was on the special board. It was more like soup with no corn. My mother had nothing at all in hers got a response of, "I don't know what to tell you." The waitress asked me if I wanted more coffe? I said sure and she embarrassed me by barking, "Sir or mam? I'm not a sir, I'm a mam. This was not said in jest. she going to be bothered when I and the others said that was sure not sir. This has always been my mother's favorite place and she also said I won't be going back there. read more

I really loved the food here. Ollie's reminded me of a smaller version of the Backroom on the other side of town. I tried the chicken tenders, which were great (equal to the legendary ones at the Backroom IMO). For the side, I went with mashed potato's. I loved the mashed because not only were they homemade, but they had a touch of garlic and gravy. The meals come with a salad and bread too. They have a very extensive menu, so I can't wait to try everything else. I sampled some food off the plates of my family and liked all of it. The restaurant is spacious with very friendly service. I can't wait to visit Ollie's again. read more

I suppose it was a bad sign that the sign outside said "chef's wanted". Not typically something you want to advertise in front of your establishment FYI. My fiance ordered chicken that wasn't clocked 100%. It was raw in the center I believe it was the chicken cordonblu(sp?) I just had fish and chips. My food was okay nothing wrong. Our waitress did remove her order when we mentioned it without us asking which was good. Nothing impressive otherwise there are much better alternatives in Manch/Bedford area. read more

What a great place! The staff were very nice and the food came out so quick you'd think the place was on fire. The prices Were decent for the quality of food you got. I got a cheese steak and it was very delicious. The mozzarella sticks were nice too. However there's a lot of pictures of these two men everywhere and I guess that's what the restaurant is named after. If you're ever in the Manchester area it's a nice place to go. read more

Stopped at Ollies again and sat at the bar. Service and attitude, though not bad, was about as enthusiastic as the staff at the DMV. Servers seem more interested in chatting with each other than...serving customers Seems to be some systemic problems here that simply go unaddressed. Bad burger. Was it left over ? Was it deep fried ? Not sure. I do know that you are not supposed to taste it the next morning. I haven't given up on this place yet. Deep down they want to actually be a decent restaurant. Go Ollie's GO ! Show us the best of what Pinardville has to offer ! read more
