    Chicken sandwich
    Kimberly L.

    Great chicken sandwich!! Perfectly crisp on the outside. Probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. I didn't get the Nashville hot, got less spicy. Perfect amount of spice. Friendly staff. Clean establishment. A pleasant seating area outside. Perfect for a casual meal.

    Pimento cheese fries

    We stopped in for lunch after it was recommended to us by someone at the Orvis outlet. An upside to this selection is that they share a parking lot in what is a busy downtown Manchester area. The menu offered a choice of sandwiches and salads. The person who recommended Road Runner mentioned the fries are particularly good and the person who took our order said they are known for their chicken sandwiches. These two recommendations made choosing our lunch easy. We both had the fried chicken sandwich and we split an order of one of the specialty fries -- pimento cheese. We choose to sit inside though they have a nice outdoor seating area. The sandwich was good! It was fried chicken and Brussel sprout slaw with a side of pickled vegetables. I really enjoyed the pickled vegetables (onions, carrots and cucumbers). The fries were good too. Overall if you are in Manchester, give Road Runner a try.

    One of the best lunch spots I have been to - I am still dreaming of the burger and fries. Wish I had gotten a hot chicken to go. Delish!!

    Salad special - yum!

    Such a great find tucked away in this plaza! The food is all scratch made and so fresh. I had a special - "That Ain't No Caesar Salad" with roasted Peruvian chicken and it was AMAZING! Other orders in my group were the kids cheeseburger and the fried chicken sandwich - both got rave reviews. Servers at the counter were super helpful with recommendations and very friendly. Perfect spot for lunch with plenty of outdoor tables for a nice day.

    Chicken sandwich, pimento cheese fries and OKOB (Oklahoma Onion Burger) ... Chef's kiss!
    Dawn Z.

    Bring your big appetite for big flavor, big portions and big heart! Road Runner did not disappoint. Our cashier taking our order at the counter was super patient as we debated on what to get. I got the specialty chicken sandwich, which was delicious, da hubs got the Oklahoma Onion Burger (OKOB) and we shared the pimento cheese fries. We barely got through half the fries - seriously generous portion. I accidentally ordered a second chicken breast by mistake and the server offered to take it off our bill with no fuss. If we didn't live 3+ hours away i gladly would have taken it home with me! Bathroom was clean and service was friendly. Visited here during leaf peeping season and between lunch and dinner but it wasn't overly crowded. We got served and found a seat in no time. Looking forward to visiting again.

    the hand cut fries are worth stopping by - looking forward to returning when in the area again!

    Best roast pork I've had outside of Philly. Period. Great sandwich shop that has fast service and a quiet vibe. Came here on the way to a gig and myself and my whole cohort really enjoyed our time here. My friend also got the roast pork and we had the same reaction when we bit: "OH WOW." Perfectly roasted pork with a sharp provolone and broccoli rabe, it was a true treat. The fried chicken sandwich also looked insanely good and my friend who ordered it was quite happy with the heat on it too. Love the little side of pickled vegetables as they provided some nice brine to cut through some of the richness. The bread was soft and cradled the contents well, a thoroughly composed sandwich! Would come back if I am ever in Manchester.

    Hot chicken meal
    Brit B.

    This place is INSANELY good!! We were so excited to try this place and it really surpassed expectations. I ordered the burger and my husband got the hot chicken meal with mac and cheese. He also took a bite of my burger and decided to order one for himself as well. The burger was easily one of the best burgers I've had anywhere. Everything about it was delicious. Very messy but so worth it! Also the pickled vegetables it came with were so good! My husband's hot chicken had very unique flavors and whatever spices they used for it were exceptional and the mac and cheese was great. The spice level he got was southern princess and it was the perfect heat level. We ate on the cute little patio area and you can dine inside as well. Service was so friendly and quick. All in all I am very sad I live hours away and can't experience this all the time. We will definitely be back whenever we are in the area!

And found this place. Not a big Mexican food fan, but I would find something. This place is great. I, being like a 5 year old kid, ordered a plain chicken burrito. They thought I was kidding. I get that a lot when I order at restaurants lol. They were THEEE nicest guys that worked here. Was kind of refreshing tbh bc you go into most places these days and well....they are people who truly hate working with the public lol. Prices weren't bad at all.

It's very new agey and different for the sake of being different. But, the pasta was delicious and high quality! The place has a major attitude problem, though. The aesthetics are off-putting and attract a crowd of the worst types of people. Had to listen to nothing but whiny spite and anger my entire meal from multiple groups of guests. The waiter was the worst aspect, though. I didn't even know he worked there when he approached me. He was dressed down more than a lot of homeless people I've seen. He also shared that same attitude of the guests and made my business feel like an inconvenience the entire time, having the nerve to expect a tip for bringing my food out to me, which I would have just done myself to avoid him. I can recommend carryout, if you absolutely have to have some pasta in this area, but not eating in, and don't get anything that seems weird on the menu.

Sam's is in a small plaza set back from the street. Inside you find a nice casual pizza place, as you come in you have the pizza kitchen with the large wood fired pizza oven. You can order slices or whole pies, they also have salads, wings and a couple of sandwiches. We ordered a large mushroom pizza and grabbed a table by the small bar area. The bar has beer and wine, they offer a very nice selection of local brews. After settling in the pizza showed up quickly. Sam's pizzas are thin crust, nicely cheesy and have a good basic tomato sauce. The pizza are very good with a nice balance between the yeasty crust, the pungent cheese and the slightly sweet sauce. The mushrooms were a nice touch to add some extra umami to the pie. The pizza was well cooked, although I would usually like it a bit more well done. On the table is garlic powder, hot pepper, oregano, grated cheese and even some hot honey, so you can modify your pizza to your taste. The large pie made a nice dinner split between the two of us, we each got 4 good sized slices. Sam's is a great casual pizza joint, the atmosphere is relaxed, service is quick and we even had some very good live music to compliment our meal. If you are looking to get some good pizza and some beers you can't go wrong by heading to Sam's Wood Fire Pizza.

We re-visited the restaurant recently for our 40th wedding anniversary, and I think it's only fitting to offer a view on what is best described as a bastion of excellence and gracious dining in Manchester village, Vermont. Situated in a refurbished former library building, the Silver Fork's setting, decor, and dining experience is indeed textbook flawless. Inside the upscale eatery evokes mid-century Moderne, a setting for the once popular Madmen TV period drama series; tony, chic, but hardly ostentatious and overbearing. On the contrary the high ceilings, lighting and space combine to offer that frozen glimpse of earlier elegance but alongside very contemporary culinary offerings. Table spacing accentuates a good use of space. We started with a "Rubies are Forever" Pomegranate cocktail with Pomegranate boba. The menu is large but not overbearing; a good mix of meats, legumes and fish. Equally the starters are enticing. French Onion soup is amazing but on this occasion we both chose the Duck egg roll with a special peanut sauce. Simply extraordinary and with generous duck portions. For an entree, my wife chose Mahi Mahi Fish, beautifully prepared over plantain. Despite being tempted by a brisket with horseradish sauce, the evening special, I chose the Ratatouille. Why? Prepared properly, this is often hard to find. The Chef's presentation of the southern French staple, was beautifully interpreted, accompanied with some goat cheese. We accompanied our meal with a glasses of red wine. For desert we shared the incomparable Caribbean Bread Pudding which is always a hit here. Allow to me to say our server Lynn showed a genuine experience both in the menu and wine list along with a pleasant disposition. We equally had the opportunity to chat with Melody the co-owner who, along with her husband Chef Mark, described their culinary Odyssey before coming to Vermont years ago to establish Silver Fork. Silver Fork presents a genuine chef-prepared culinary experience both in terms of cuisine as well as ambiance and flawless service. We'll be back!

Mainly attributable to SERVICE which was HORRIFYING!! Ambiance was charming home setting outdoors and rustic wood vibe indoors. The food was average/iffy. Garlic peppercorn steak was encrusted with a layer of seasoning and yet it wasn't that seasoned in terms of flavor, was just ok. Ordered medium and yet it looked black on the outside and medium rare inside and beyond tough - I could not even cut the steak, I ended up just ended eating the whole thing straight up. So strange and not worth $30 at all. The Idaho skins were good just wish the potatoes were crispier. The signature applewood smoked wings were so overpriced and terrible. I could not taste any flavor, it tasted like boiled wings expensive 6 for $18. The worst part: service, or rather lack thereof.!! Upon entering, we waited awhile for someone to come greet and seat us and seemed to judge us when we clarifying what tavern was when we were asked if we wanted tavern or dining room. We were seated and took a LONG time until finally our server came to take our order. Then took an even longer time to get our food almost 20minutes. The other table that got seated after us the order the same wings at the same time, got their food 10 minutes earlier than us and their server was present throughout the meal . Ours just was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire time. Finally the food came, we ate quick, and asked for the check. We couldn't even find our server to get the check! The other table has already gotten the check and signing the bill. We then got up and tried to flag down our waiter to for the check and takeout box and after a long time she gave them but disappeared again for a long time so we tried to flag her down, again, so we could actually pay. When we did, she rudely said "do you see the things im carrying? can you wait?" Mind you, we have been waiting for nearly another 20 minutes after we finished eating for any appearance from the waiter. We tried asking the other waiter who was actually present if we could but said we needed to get our actual server. We finally finished the whole transaction (20min waiting for food, 20min spent flagging down the waiter for the check/giving the money), and frustrated we wasted so much time here while on a trip for just OK food, we just left because the server then disappeared AGAIN after settling our bill. Hilariously enough, the only time she seemed to care about us was when we left and she went RUNNING after us to ask us "you did not tip enough, did I do something wrong?" in a rude and fake overly concerned way. After we briefly explained, she proceeds to loudly shame us saying "you supposed to tip me xyz because I provide you a service and if not you're really disrespectful". The audacity. Service was beyond horrible!!! and still demanding higher tips calling customers disrespectful when we did nothing but wait and get yelled at by her for not waiting even longer and still needing to directly pay her extra tips. During that scolding we got, we saw her name tag: Avery. Overall: Foods ok. LONG WAIT for food and check. Horrifying service by one server: Avery. Perhaps other servers were better like the one who took care of the table who sat down at the same time and left 20 minutes earlier meanwhile our service was way slower, not as friendly, demanding tips, and public scolds/shames customers for it. This experience totally soured my impression of this place and now I'm questioning why people even recommended this place to me and why I went along with it!
