Me, my mom, and my grandma visited this place shortly before seeing a show in Concord. The service was wonderful, and our waitress (Kayla L) was very kind. I had the French onion soup to start and the chicken pot pie as my main course. The soup wasperfectly cooked and the cheese was melted very well. The onions were quite flavorful and the broth was wonderfully warm. Thepot pie had a crisp, flaky crust that melted in my mouth and the soup inside was creamy and full of delightful ingredients! Ihad a side of fries that was crispy and paired greatly with the ketchup provided. The atmosphere was very comfortable and Iloved the seasonal decorations.
We had a great meal but mainly because of our waitress Andrea! She was efficient, responsive, friendly, attentive, and informative in order to make our dining experience extra special. With the cost of eating out rising and most food serverscaring less about their customer's needs than their own, we've had to re-evalaute our desire, and value, to eat out. Dining atSecond Brook was a pleasure; food was excellent and the service even better. We'll definitely return when we're back in thearea. Thank you Andrea!
We went today for lunch. A waitress by the name of Andrea was by herself today with about 5-6 tables with the bar tender. The service was fantastic and the food was 10/10. I would highly recommend this place. I had chicken tenders, 2 ways, fries andcoleslaw!! My partner had the Bella burger!! That was out of this world. And yes the fries look as good as they tasted.
The owner came and greeted us and reassured us that it was ok that we came in 30 minutes before their kitchen closed. I was almost considering not going due to that. She was super nice, and our waitress was also really nice. The food was excellent Igot the chicken pot pie, and was very happy it wasn't puff pastry on top, as I find that to be too dry when you eat it. Piecrust is the right thing for a chicken pot pie, and it was delicious. The filling was creamy and a bit herb y which wasgood. Nice choice in local craft beers, and my other two diners were quite happy with their food. One of them got a burgerplain, medium rare, and the other got linguine Alfredo with steak tips. We got their shepherd pie egg rolls, and they werefantastic. We also got Thai chili chicken wings very messy, but cooked perfectly and were delicious.
On March 6, we brought my brother-in-law along, and three of us had the special BBQ steak tips while one person had the baked scallops. Everything was fantastic! I can’t wait for COVID to be over so that more seating is available. Our server, Kayla O, provided outstanding service, as always. The food was timely and hot, just like we’ve come to expect. We will continue to introduce our friends and family to your wonderful establishment. We returned for another incredible meal. We started with a martini and the eggplant Napoleon. My wife ordered the duck breast, and I had the Ahi Tuna. Everything was delicious. Thanks for another great evening! On January 29, we celebrated a birthday with a group of six. There was a bit of a wait, but the staff generously compensated us with two free appetizers. Our server, Kayla L, was superb, and all the meals were excellent. The fried pickles and scallops were particularly exquisite. We will definitely be back again!

Delicious food and generous portions! Every meal I’ve had there has been fantastic, and I would highly recommend it. The only downside was that I had to wait a little while to get service, as the bartender was also attending to the dining area. I would definitely go back.
The food is consistently hot and delicious, with daily specials that always add variety. Every dish feels like a homemade meal, and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and welcoming, often delivered with a smile. We frequently drive 20-30 minutes just to enjoy this place—this is our sixth visit! The bar area is fantastic, equipped with several TVs, and we really appreciate the ambiance. Although the exterior doesn’t do justice to the quality inside, every bartender we’ve encountered has been exceptional, with Lisa standing out as particularly great.

Recently visited with 2 hockey teams. Lots of kids and parents waiting before the doors even opened. Andrea handle it all with grace. The food was good. We had crispy coconut chicken wrap, buffalo chicken sandwich, plenty of nuggets and fries for the kids. Seating was limited due to size of parties but there was plenty of room. You didn't feel crammed in. Definitely return during next tournament. Kid-friendliness: Staff remained calm and friendly in face of mite hockey teams.

This is a fantastic restaurant with excellent steak. I dined in for dinner, and the experience was wonderful. The price per person ranged from $50 to $100. I would rate the food a perfect 5, the service also a 5, and the atmosphere another 5. Highly recommended!

The food is simply delicious. The shepherd's pie egg rolls are unique and unlike anything you've ever had. Be sure to check out their daily specials; just yesterday, we enjoyed the meatball flatbread and the Asian chicken dumplings. Joelle and Stephanie truly make you feel at home, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a bar owner and manager as dedicated as they are. I promise you, this place will not disappoint!
I absolutely loved this hidden gem! The food was excellent, and the service was amazing. The prices for the salad proteins were a bit on the high side for the portion size, but they were still delicious. There are many TVs in the bar area for watching games, along with a separate dining room. This place is definitely a must-try. Food: 5/5.
We dined at Second Brook Bar and Grill in Hooksett last night and had a fantastic experience. We started with an appetizer and some drinks before moving on to our entrees: the pulled pork casserole and a corned beef Reuben. My partner particularly enjoyed the homemade Kartoffel chips, which were beautifully crispy—a rare treat with homemade chips. I ordered the pulled pork casserole, and it was simply to die for! It came out hot, and the combination of layers with pulled pork, potato, melted cheese, and crushed BBQ sauce, all topped with wobbly straws, was just perfect. We will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu!
Everything I've ever eaten here has been delicious. Recently I had to stop eating as much meat (dang it). I ended up trying the veggie burger at Second Brook. For someone who loves meat, I am so surprised how awesome a veggie burger can be! Their chillie and southwest salad are also amazing. Everything is so good, if you havent tried this spot, you are missing out and need to.
Stopped in for a quick lunch and sat at the bar. Dawna, the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She made a couple suggestions (I went with the Reuben 10/10), and made me a delightful cocktail. This was my first visit, but I will for more delicious food, and GREAT service from Dawna!
