These days, eating out isn’t cheap. It seems prices just keep going up and up for the same food – and what could be more depressing than dropping serious cash on a mediocre meal? Fortunately, there’s one new Granite State restaurant that defies that trend, offering up spectacular food at remarkably affordable prices.

The Crown Tavern is a newer member of the Manchester restaurant scene, opened by the folks behind the Hanover Street Chophouse. It’s already garnered a ton of attention for its delightful ambiance and delicious food.

Fortunately, the food is just as great as the location. The menu is varied, with everything from snacks to full dishes, and all the ingredients are fresh and locally sourced.

The menu has plenty of options, and the pricing is amazingly reasonable. Even the steak frites only comes in at $19, and a massive and delicious burger is just $12.

The wood-fired pizzas are one of the standouts for sure – there are a number of different combos of toppings, each more delicious than the last.
