Puritan Backroom Restaurant

Chicken is great. All these different types! 100 years and still going strong. Eat at least once a week here. One of the best.

We stopped for lunch this past Sunday on our way home from Boston. Since this restaurant is well known for their chicken tenders, we had pretty much decided

When I first moved here and asked about places to eat, many local suggested that there isn't a restaurant more iconic in Manchester than Puritan Backroom

Chicken tenders are 1 of a kind the best ever and the price for what you get forget about it

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to an early dinner at the Puritan Backroom, and I can confidently say it was an experience to remember! We opted to sit at the bar, and right from the start, we were warmly welcomed by our server, Tyler. His friendly demeanor created an inviting atmosphere, not just for us but for everyone around. Tyler consistently checked in on us—between drinks, while we placed our food order, and even after we finished eating. His kindness and professionalism made our dining experience feel special. When it came time for me to order, I chose the GF Broiled Chicken Tenders and a GF Mudslide. I hesitated on the salad, as most places typically have croutons, but Tyler’s keen attention kicked in. He asked if I had a gluten allergy, and I said yes. He then asked if I had Celiac Disease, even though he felt like he was being invasive, I was genuinely surprised by this thoughtful inquiry, as it’s rare for servers to be so informed about Celiac's disease. Once he understood my needs, Tyler went above and beyond to ensure my meal was safe. His exceptional care and attention to detail really stood out to me. It’s not every day that you find someone who understands the seriousness of Celiac Disease and takes such great precautions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tyler to anyone who follows a gluten-free diet. If you visit Puritan Backroom, make sure to ask him for a GF Chocolate Mudslide— it's to die for! Thank you Tyler!!
