FANTASTIC!! Tiny, old building with counter seating and a few booths. My Chef Salad (with real meat, not sliced packaged lunchmeat) was big enough for two. My husband's tuna melt and soup were also great. Friendly staff, fair prices. Amazing looking desserts but we were too stuffed to try them. read more

Food was good. Waitress I feel wasn't very friendly all in all. Kinda felt like myself and the person I was with was more of a bother. Very disappointed that that person was also a virgin to the red arrow diner and I told them that. Knowing of the tradition they have with devirgining new patrons. One I mentioned to waitress I felt we were being ignored even more. So again food was good but over all experience was very disappointing. No apology no explanation. And the diner wasn't busy so there was plenty of time to carry out the tradition it has for such new customer experience. Restaurant was very clean. Food was good. Service and experience has much improvement to do to keep up with the red arrow diner traditions. read more

My very first stop coming off of a late night flight, the Red Arrow diner was an oasis for a hungry traveler from Manchester Airport. The diner is open 24/7, which makes it perfect for a hangry traveler. There is a good sized parking lot next to the restaurant, which was relatively open on a late Sunday night. I cannot attest to the parking during the presumably peak hours over lunch and dinner. They have a wide selection of food, from the usual breakfast diner fare and plenty of sandwich and burger options. Coming from the Midwest, I did not grow up with the old-school "greasy spoon" diner, and definitely not with the 24 hour vibes. At 11pm, it was not particularly busy, although again it seems like things can get pretty busy around here! Poutine was my choice for a late night snack along with a slice of peanut butter pie; these were the perfect salty/sweet options for my night. It was not the best poutine I have ever had and I am certain there are much better options on the menu, but these just hit the spot and are a testament to the quality of their extensive menu. Super excited to come back soon! read more

You have a "Trump Tower Burger" on your menu. I decided to leave. I'll never be back. ‍

Awesome people amazing food breakfast especially I love the feeling of being treated special

Good addition for Manchester. Downtown area is highly annoying; douches with loud cars and dudes doing wheelies on motorcycles... sigh. Chicken tenders and club sandwich very good! Quick service. read more

On my recent visit to Manchester, I absolutely had to visit the Red Arrow Diner. For anyone who doesn't know this is a local staple that is frequently visited by politicians and celebrities alike. And it is well worth a visit. Now, it's a tiny place that gets busy so I'd suggest trying to head during off-hours to avoid a wait. If you can't, the line does move fairly quickly. When I visited, on a Saturday morning, I had to wait about 30 minutes or so. If you're a party of one your chances of snagging a single chair at the counter are pretty good. If you have three or four you're probably going to have to wait it out for a booth. The food and service were great. Your server will ask if you've been there before. If you haven't, they will ring a bell, tell everyone, and give you a sticker. If you like diners this is a diner amongst diners. It is a great experience and a lot of fun. read more

This place is a gem. I've only gone twice but both times have been pleasant. It's open 24-7. Great chicken and rice soup! And for a meal, got a tuna melt with Cajun fries as the side. I enjoyed all of it! Great late night/after partying place to hit up, even for to-go. Especially for to-go, actually, because it's a little small in there. Definitely recommend! Also, shouts to Stacey who was so kind and helpful. She made my experience better. read more

Always top notch food ! Delivered quickly! And the decor and people are great in such a fun setting with diner tables and chairs !

The food at Red Arrow Diner is decent. The Red Arrow has been a namesake for decades as a place where Presidential contenders come to woo locals over breakfast, coffee or beer. There are seats outdoors, but the major attraction is the bar seating inside the caboose, where neon lights, cartoons and pictures on the wall tell stories.. - The food: Diner and breakfast fares of pancakes, local hash, French toasts, omelettes, eggs/bacon, fruit juices, bowls of cereal and fruit loops. - The ambience: Tight seats at the bar counter that go in two's. There are 4 tables up front at the cash register. Outdoor seats in parking lot. There are pictures of 'celebrities' and kiddie drawings all over the walls and ceiling. The kitchen is across from the bar. - The service: This is where the place struggles. It's got 1 waitress who tends to almost 20 half-drunk yelling, complaining (some Cali folks, argued the price of their checks- as a joke), munching yahoos. - Prices: The pricing is okay. Your portions are large and come hot from the kitchen griddle. Some food may be cooked too much, as the heat was very high on the griddle (I saw it, live). Order all your dishes a bit undercooked. - Experience: A quick stop that was on my list of places to visit. Memorable for diner experience; not memorable for service, patrons or the space where Red Arrow sits in Manchester, NH (wrecked neighborhood, with beer cans, plastic bags and the occasional lipsticks on the ground..). Overall The Red Arrow Diner was hardly worth going all the way out of my way off the highway for, it's just a medium diner that sells watery beans, charred toast/bacon, sloppy burgers with Kraft cheeses and local favorites like soup and cracker.

Food was great, service was good. Adam Sandler frequently stop by here. Its open 24 hours so you cant beat it. The ambiance is solid

Fantastic stop for our meal in New Hampshire. My sister and I loaded up on 3 meals. Tuna melt with with baked beans, haddock sandwich with sweet potato fries, and chicken tenders with apple sauce. Entrees we're all fantastic, other than the amazing sweet potato fries, the sides were alright. We didn't realize how famous this place til we got here and found out we made a better choice than we thought. The diner is supposedly rate #1 on some top 10 list which is super cool. The diner is definitely authentic in the sense that you are sitting at bar like seating right up against the servers. Fun fact, it will be celebrating its 100 year anniversary this year. Our server, Robin, made the experience all the much better. She was hospitable from the start, was honest about the food and had a great sense of humor. She also hooked us up with a frappe which was delicious as well. Overall a wonderful stop and I definitely recommend! read more

Breakfast on a snowy morning in this classic diner. There are only a couple of tables and then the rest of it is counter down the side and back. Old school for the win. I chose the Red Arrow omelet which was a nice sized portion and well stuffed with onions and peppers and mushrooms and ham, topped with a melted cheese sauce and since I'm on a keto diet, I replaced the toast and home fries with tomato slices. A delicious meal that I enjoyed. It's definitely not a date worthy joint but the prices are great and the portion was large. [Review 10483 overall, 250 of 2019.] read more

Walking in is like a step back in time. It's a tiny little diner right in the middle of town. Looks like a very popular place as we arrived after lunch and it filled up very quickly. Parking, as far as I can tell, is pay to park street parking. The booths have little plaques on them with the names of famous people who have sat there on them. Our booth had the names of Barenaked ladies, Ty Pennington, Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. The walls are decorated with photos, letters and other memorabilia. I ordered fried haddock and had french fries and salad as sides. I ordered onion rings for us to share. My parents both had spaghetti and meatballs. They were disappointed with their food because the sauce tasted like tomato sauce without much flavor. However, my dad makes a killer homemade sauce so we're a little biased. My haddock was very fresh and flaky. A little to wet for me, but it was really good otherwise. Everything else was delicious. Our waiter was extremely friendly and made our time here a very good experience. It was a bit embarrassing when they announced it was our first time there and rang a bell, but it was quite funny, too. We even got stickers. I'd love to come back and try breakfast or maybe even just stop in for dessert. Unfortunately, I was hungry and forgot to get pictures of the food, but I'll try to remember that next time. read more

WOW - yelp did not disappoint when recommending this diner for Breakfast. We were in MAnchester for the holiday weekend and wanted to catch a bite before heading home. Not only was it very diner like, but the staff made it so much fun, it was worth the entertainment alone. But the food was amazing as well, I could not finish my sausage and biscuits. Hubby had the hash and eggs and was pleased. And the coffee was strong and kept coming. They even had a fun thing of calling out newbies to the restaurant and handing out "de-virginized" stickers lol! Red Arrow we will be back on our next visit! read more

My birthday dinner ended up here on the way home from our road trip and it was great! A triple D location and for good reason, it's been around since the 1920's! Funny first experience.... asked the waitress if there was a bathroom and she replied "Thru the doors to the kitchen....1922 honey!" I knew then we were in for a good meal. Because why wouldn't you have breakfast for dinner at a diner.... that's what we went with. Eggs benny, steak and eggs, panfries and a giant pancake with chocolate chips made us completely full and content. The steak tips were marinated and cooked perfectly, eggs Benny were sweet and savory with the maple sausage patty and can't go wrong with pancakes! Wish I had room for dessert.... guess we'll have to come back sometime! Lots of history and memorabilia on the walls, you can tell this place is well loved. read more

When I hear diner, I imagine a big spacious place. This place was surprisingly small. They don't take any advance reservation. Once you walk in there is a queue inside the congested restaurant. You just stand behind the queue. One weird thing I noticed is their restroom is right next to the kitchen (you can even say inside the kitchen). You can see the cooking when you use the restroom. I went for their famous American chop suey. It was ok. It comes with garlic toast on the side. That was amazing. It has a very strong garlic flavor. I also tried the steak bomb hash brown. I liked this better than the chop suey. For dessert the dinah fingers and eclairs were good. read more

This is our 4th time coming to the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester and we have never been disappointed. Ellen, our server, has taken care of us each time we have visited. We were thrilled to realize that we were sitting in the booth that candidate and now President Trump and his son; Donald, Jr. had sat in. My husband had breakfast - the Queen Dinah which had 2 scrambled Eggs, 2 Pancakes, 2 Sausages, 2 strips of bacon, Pan fries, and Rye Toast. He splurged and had the Real NH Maple Syrup Nips for an upcharge of $2.25. He was in heaven. I had the Thursday Blue Plate Special. What is a Blue Plate Special? It is a reasonably priced meal that changes daily and sometimes were served on blue plates. I had the Liver with onions, bacon and real mashed potatoes with gravy on the side. It was a cool day, so I had the daily soup special, which was beef with vegetables and pasta - so good. The liver was perfectly cooked and was delicious. The portions were very generous. We will continue the tradition of coming to the Red Arrow when we visit New Hampshire. read more

A classic American diner, straight out of a time machine. I came to check out this famous joint in the heart of Manchester, New Hampshire, where many famous people have come and gone, as labeled on the surface of their countertops. Service was very hospitable, and I felt that feeling of nostalgic comfort you get from any American diner. I ordered their signature pork pie, with mashed potatoes & broccoli, smothered in tons of gravy. Ended the meal with the standard a la mode, Apple pie with a cup of coffee. The most classic combo of diner items you can order, and you can never go wrong with. Being 24/7 is also a huge plus! Diners are becoming of a rarity in cities, and considered one of those unique things that exist in this country. This place definitely is a perfect example of why diners are an American foodie gem. read more

Took a weekend trip to Manchester and decided to give this place a try. The location is small and fairly busy, but the staff makes up for it. I had the King Moe and the pictures pretty much speak for themselves. Portion sizes are great, and love the flexibility with the substitutions, other places aren't as accommodating. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that the food should've came out hot and not lukewarm, and the bacon could use some improvement, as I don't think the taste is for everyone. All in all, I'd stopped by again if in the area. read more

I visited the Red Arrow for the first time on a Monday night at 11:30 PM after being in the ER all day with my mom. The food was good. I tried the Guy F. Favorite (American Chop Suey) and it was just like my Memre' used to make. The service was also good. The ambiance - well... it's a diner/dive in a sketchy neighborhood, so it was just ok. The bathroom is in the kitchen... but they do have a good exhaust system - just weird to go through there I could totally see this as an awesome "after bar" eatery and I would definitely eat there again. The menu is huge and has basically everything you could want all day long. read more

Red Arrow. You know exactly what you're getting when you come in be it 6pm or 11pm That being said that fact they're even open that late is something that my drunken self appreciates. 6/10 comes in clutch now and again read more

We wanted to see this old-time diner, famous for its celebrity visits and political photo-ops. We only were in for an overnight in Manchester, on our way to Maine. It embodied the entire area, as it was hidden amongst the crumbling city blocks. This is a very middle class town which hasn't received much love or attention and it shows. Like I said, the Red Arrow, though clean, embodies the town in which it resides. Being liberal democrats, we felt like fish out of water, though it was interesting seeing all the placards on the benches showing names of famous visitors. The food itself was OK and was your standard diner fare. Trying to park the car was annoying. The waitress was friendly and many of the people in there were there for the same reason: to say you were there. Nothing fancy, just solid grub. If you are in the area, go for the photos and nostalgia, not the grub. read more

Of you are a diners drive ins and dives fan you must cost the original locations. The Red Arrow does not disappoint! It's a 24/7 greasy spoon and you get what they offer. Many items on the menu so locals can really have a better experience than I did with only 1 visit. I love the history and the total diveyness. I thought the chili was really good and very filling. The Pastrami sandwich... not so great. Why do sandwich makers put 1 slice of Swiss on a griddled sandwich? It was non existent, and hey!!! You forgot the mustard. Look they don't have Wolfgang Puck back there throwing this stuff together at warp speed. Given a choice I opted to try the Mac n Cher's over French fries. Big mistake! I'd have been happier with a boxed instant version this was elbows and watery cheese sauce from a can. I did 2 spoons full the first was to taste it the second was for punishment. I got a house made Twinkie to go, how do you make a thinly greasy? IDK but I did t hate it. Look you gotta go here the place is fun and the food won't kill you. Well maybe but what am I a Doctor? Just go eat and enjoy. read more

I've been a regular here since I can remember. My wife (girlfriend at the time) I came here about 13 years ago, and we still remember Penny serving us. Throughout our relationship we kept coming back, and everything kept being the best. The Arrow is the spot for that favorite dish (hash omelette) and the unique things they come up with daily should one be feeling adventurous. This spot has been a part of our lives since we started dating, and Jon even sold us our first house (he's a realtor when he's not at the Arrow). It's incredible to think that from first dates to first homes, the Arrow has been the place that made it all happen. The arrow has been around for 100 years, and I'm happy to have been here for the last 30 years of it, or so. Long story short, good breakfast. read more

The quintessential NH diner. Come here late enough and you will see shit go down outside. That's part of the charm. The food is great, the wait staff has plenty of personality. They serve a friggin' mug full of bacon. This place is an experience. Just don't park in the adjacent lot - it's not owned by Red Arrow. Those low life scumbags will leave their machine broken and then tow you faster than they can suck a golfball through a garden hose. And that's pretty damn fast. And hard. read more
