Best Burger in the Manchester Area --- NH Magazine Best of NH 2020
We are honored to share that New Hampshire Magazine has once again recognized New England's Tap House Grille as the Best Burger in the Manchester Area in its 2020 Best of NH awards. Earning this recognition in any year would be meaningful — earning it in 2020, a year that tested every restaurant in the state, makes it especially significant. Our kitchen team never stopped caring about the quality of every plate that left our scratch kitchen, and this award reflects their dedication.
What 2020 Meant for the Tap House
Like every restaurant in New Hampshire, we faced unprecedented challenges in 2020. We transitioned to outdoor seating and curbside pickup, adapted our operations, and found new ways to serve our community. Through all of it, the commitment to quality didn't waver. Our burgers are still hand-pressed daily from fresh Certified Angus beef. The brioche buns are still toasted. The toppings are still thoughtfully sourced. When the industry was under extraordinary pressure to cut corners, we chose not to — and our guests noticed.
A Thank You to the Hooksett Community
This award is a community vote, and that means you voted for us. Thank you. The support we've received from Hooksett, Manchester, and all of southern New Hampshire — especially in 2020 — has been humbling. You showed up for takeout when we couldn't seat you. You left reviews when we needed encouragement. And you came back as soon as we opened our doors again. We won't forget it.
