10. Granfanallys

Granfanallys is in a hard-to-see strip mall on Route 28 in Salem, New Hampshire, so we drove by it a hundred times without realizing it was there. Until our son-in-law was looking for good New York style pizza, and someone told him to try Granfanallys. He talked us into trying it, and it was really good. We also heard they have good burgers, so that's the next thing we want to try. It may end up being our go-to place for takeout. Prices are good, too.

Been waiting to try Pica's and glad I did. Although it was lunch time, we did not have to fight the lunch time crowd even though they were very busy. Nice pleasant pubby atmosphere although slightly loud but bearable. Waitress was easy and pleasant very helpful with suggestions and very attentive to the whole tables needs. Two couples. The food was outstanding. the four meals were, steak tacos, awesome. BLT wrap, very well done. Veggie burger, exceptional, and a stuffed meatball sub, meatballs as good as Nanna used to make, I kid you not. Beer is beer you have a hard time mucking that up. Total visit A plus. Might even become a regular spot. Can't wait to try dinner. If so I will post.

Once a month the girls get together and try a restaurant that we have not been to. I pass this establishment every time I am in Salem, NH and say.....âI wonder how that place isâ.So, last night we decided to try it and was not disappointed. Katie was our waitress.The girls had the Red Sangria and one had the white, which they said was very good. I opted for a ginger ale (lol) since I was saving my appetite for dinner and hadnât much to eat throughout the day .We were served warm Italian bread with a dipping oil sauce that I believe had very fine crushed tomatoes with spices. Very good.Two of us had the Francese with egg batter chicken in a lemon white wine sauce over angel hair (you could get different pasta if you like ) which was very good. Ample portions.... brought the rest home .The others had eggplant parm and instead of the pasta , got a side salad for $3.00 extra.They said it was also very good. No left overs for them .Dessert and coffee was not on our radar since we were very full. We would definitely return.

I stayed in Salem for 4 days and on my departing day I looked up breakfast/cheap places to eat on Trip Advisor. I wish I had gone to this place for breakfast the other mornings. I had 2 eggs over medium, home fires, 2 pieces of wheat toast and a huge piece of ham for $6.48. You can't get a better price for breakfast than this. Service was great and the food service was fast also. My waitress keep checking on me to see if there was anything I needed but didn't come by too often. I would definitely eat breakfast at this place if I was ever in Salem again. The other food servings I saw coming out looked large. I gave my waitress a larger tip than normal because of the prompt service and the reasonable prices of the food.

Got seated just in time before the crowds showed, many with children in tow to take advantage of "kids eat free," if the Red Sox won their previous game (just as we did).Two of us ordered the Sundried Tomato Chicken Kabob Salad: basically a Mediterranean salad which was tasty, but the olives and dressing were too salty for my taste. The Crunchy Pickle BBQ Burger was enjoyed by one, and our grandson enjoyed his burger from the children's menu. All good meals, and a good deal for our grandson.Plenty of parking and full bar.Give a like please of this is helpful or you like the information. Thanks.

We were shopping in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. We were so glad we did! The restaurant isn't fancy but the selection offered was excellent. It was very busy. Samantha, our waitress, was great! She brought over a loaf of hot bread which was to die for!! So much so that I ordered a loaf to bring home. OMG, it was so good!I had a Buffalo Sauce'wich' which was large and delicious! I especially loved the Bleu cheese sauce on the chicken. The Buffalo sauce was just right, too, not overly hot but just enough 'tang'. The homemade chips were a pleasant addition. My husband had a burger which he said was great. Sweet potato fries were great. Next time we're in the area it will be our lunch stop!We are so happy you stopped in! We hope to see you in again soon.

My husband and I stopped into the Blackwater Grille for a light dinner. We had been here years before when it was Loafers Restaurant. The new owners maintained the cozy feel in the bar, Homey and welcoming, lighting could have been brighter, however as it was a bit difficult to read the menu. Waitress was very attentive and food was delivered in less than ten minutes.I had the Harvest salad, It was huge and full of crisp lettuce, walnuts, dried cranberries, feta cheese, sliced pears and served with their homemade boursin dressing. My husband had a burger and fries. Both were very good.Live entertainment began at 7:00, we stayed for awhile to listen and were glad we did.

Three of us had dinner here around 7:00 on a Sunday evening. There was a nice crowd and we were seated immediately. The place is decorated in a 50's diner motif with a nice soundtrack to match. Our server Laura was great. We placed our drink order and reviewed the extensive menu. They do serve off the breakfast menu all day as well as either the lunch or dinner menu at corresponding times. We ordered the ham & cheese omelet with hash browns and cinnamon raisin toast, the fish and chips and the grilled cheese and ham. All were served timely, hot and tasted great. Laura kept our drinks topped off. We had a few of the desert options and they were very good. For the quality and portion size the prices seemed reasonable. We will be back.

Stopped here with family for brunch. Some of us were looking for an egg style breakfast. Unfortunately, their menu is unique - not bad, just not what we were looking for. What we ordered was tasty.Thank you Roger for the review and the feedback. We appreciate it.
