Holy Grail - Epping, NH

The Holy Grail can be found in an unusual location of Epping, NH. Epping has always been a poorer part of NH (though some people will disagree, especially those that live there) and very few choices for places to eat. Enter the Holy Grail; this restaurant - and now adjacent function hall - is located inside a renovated church with amazing picturesque displays, paintings on the wall, and comfortable furniture. 



The service from the hostess, to the waitstaff, to the bartenders is always pleasant and attentive. I recently stopped by here for a drink and a salad but have been here a number of times. They make the best Dark 'N Stormy around! Happy Hour has 1/2 priced appetizers, they serve Guinness on draft at $4 and even hold a pretty competitive game of Trivia on Tuesday nights. Their salads are enormous; I had the Cobb salad is definitely "piled high" as their menu reads and there is no lack of meat in it either. 
Their french onion soup is never too salty and has the right amount of cheese but their mac and cheese does fall a bit short of flavor (cheese with macaroni pasta does not make mac and cheese people!) but the portions are always large and there are many choices for pub type fare. 

I give the Holy Grail 4 hearts - solid food, solid service, creative decor, and all around great for the price.
