I thought Goffstown or Auburn is where you go for upscale dining.
Most of the upscale places are in Bedford (Bedford Village Inn or The Copper Door) or downtown ManchVegas (Hanover Street Chophouse).
Gets pretty pricey for regular meals though, especially when we have two awesome barbecue places within easy driving distance:
K.C.'s Rib Shack (2nd St. Manchester) or the newer
Smokehaus on 101 in Amherst.
Memphis ribs vs. dry-rubbed...
mmm-mmm-mmm... either way, you can hold the poutine, Frenchy.
We have the meats...
