Four Years Running: Best Burger in the Manchester Area --- Best of NH 2022
Four Years Running: Best Burger in the Manchester Area --- Best of NH 2022
When you win an award once, it's exciting. When you win it four years in a row, it becomes a standard — and a responsibility. New Hampshire Magazine has named New England's Tap House Grille the Best Burger in the Manchester Area in its Best of NH 2022 awards, continuing a streak that began in 2018. We are deeply grateful to everyone who voted, and we're prouder than ever to be Hooksett's most recognized restaurant.
What Consistency Looks Like in a Scratch Kitchen
Winning the same award year after year isn't about a static recipe — it's about a commitment to process. Every day, our kitchen team hand-presses fresh Certified Angus beef patties. Every day, the brioche buns are prepped and toasted to order. Every day, the toppings are sourced and prepped fresh, with produce from Hip Peas Farm when in season. Consistency at this level requires discipline, pride, and a team that truly cares about what leaves the kitchen. We have all three.
More Than a Burger: The Tap House Table
The Best Burger award gets the headlines, but it's worth noting that the burger is just one thread in a much larger menu story. Our scratch kitchen serves award-winning chili, a beloved raw bar, seasonal flatbreads, expertly prepared seafood, and a long list of craft cocktails and 48 rotating beers on tap. Whether you come in for the burger or something else entirely, you're in a kitchen that approaches every dish the same way — from scratch, with intention, and with genuine hospitality.
