A nicer, swankier sit down restaurant that offers dine-in and take-out for breakfast lunch and dinner. Call to make reservations ahead of time. If you like Brie, they have a really good brie cheese appetizer, and their Berry Margarita is also very good. Their burgers are also good.

Ye Old Tavern is one of our favorites, with comfort food like their famous lobster mac and cheese with bacon appetizer and entrees like Roast Prime Rib or a traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings, and their cranberry fritters with maple butter. Great place to dine inside because it’s in an quaint old house, and especially nice in the winter when they have the indoor fireplaces going, since it’s very cozy inside. Take-out just doesn't do this place any justice, since it's also about the ambiance. Definitely call ahead of time to make a reservation and if you like Roast Prime Rib, you always have to order it ahead of time over the phone so they can reserve it for you, otherwise they won’t have enough.

Bar/Restaurant and when they are busy they have been somewhat disorganized with seating in the past, especially during the hectic ski season, but if you can get a table and get sat then it’s not a bad place to go to. Noticed that post-Covid it hasn’t been as crazy and the service was much better than pre-Covid. But if you happen to have a good night there as far as service, the food is good - casual like French Onion Soup, burgers, but also have steaks, fish, fried fish platters, etc… Call to make a reservation.

Casual eatery that servers steaks, burgers, fries, salads, seafood, etc… They were only doing pick-up due to Covid so I would call ahead of time. If they have seating, they do not take reservations and just have to go there. If it’s busy they will take your name when you get there.

This is a Craft Beer and Wine Bar that has a limited menu of small plates, but the food was pretty good when we went here. If you like beer and wine you will probably like this place. There is outdoor seating and I’m sure they do take-out. (You can also buy beer here and take it home.)

Chop House is in Manchester and is a part of Equinox hotel and it’s supposed to be a nicer restaurant, however I have never dined here and also it doesn’t seem to have the greatest reviews. If you check out their reviews on Google you can read them. I can’t give my opinion on what I think about this place, but just wanted to offer it as an option. You can check this place out on Google or their website. Would not recommend for take-out, it seems to be more for dine-in.
