Best Burger in the Manchester Area --- NH Magazine Best of NH 2018
We are honored and genuinely grateful to announce that New Hampshire Magazine has named New England's Tap House Grille the winner of the Best Burger in the Manchester Area in its annual Best of NH 2018 awards. This recognition belongs to our kitchen team, who take the simple act of making a burger seriously every single day. To be singled out in one of the most competitive categories in New Hampshire's restaurant scene means the world to us.
What Goes Into Our Award-Winning Burger
Our burger starts with fresh, locally sourced Certified Angus beef, hand-pressed in-house and served on a toasted brioche bun. We don't use pre-formed patties, pre-made sauces, or shortcuts. The beef is seasoned simply, cooked to your specification, and built with thoughtfully chosen toppings. What makes the difference is the freshness — and the brioche bun, which is worth mentioning twice. It's soft enough to complement the burger without falling apart, sturdy enough to hold everything together. It's a detail that sounds small until you've had a burger fall apart on you.
Every element is made or sourced with intention. The condiments are house-crafted. The produce, whenever possible, comes from our own Hip Peas Farm. This is what it looks like when a scratch kitchen applies its philosophy to a classic American dish.
What Winning Best of NH Means to Us
The Best of NH awards are reader-driven and reflect genuine community preference. Winning the Manchester Area burger category puts us in conversation with some of the finest restaurants in southern New Hampshire — and it confirms that what we've been doing since 2013 is resonating. We don't take that lightly. It pushes us to stay sharp, keep sourcing the best beef, and continue treating every burger as if it's the one that earns a new regular.
