    My family and I went to T-Bones for dinner tonight for the first time and what a disappointment. The food was terrible, the only seasoning that they seem to use a lot of was salt, a lot of salt!  I ordered the burger that was served in what looked like a hoagie-like roll. The burger had no flavor, honestly 5 Guys makes a better burger. The burger was lost in the roll.  Every time we asked our waitress for something it seemed to take forever to get what we asked for, be it ketchup, drink refills, or our meals.  The place was not busy given it was a Sunday night.

    We will not be returning.

    T-bones is one of those restaurants that you have to like.  It has a little bit of something for everyone...and most of those little bits are good!  KF (my wife) and I have been eating here for the 2.5 years we have lived in NH...with good results.  Then, we found their Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries...outstanding!

    Based on eating here a number of times...here are my comments:

    Service:  always very good and solid, never "in the way"...but always there
    Food:  good, with some outstanding (i.e. the American Cheeseburger)
    Ambiance: comfortable and clean

    How often do we go?  Probably once every couple of weeks.

    Oh...and one HUGE thing...the Bedford location has a patio...where they not only allow our four legged daughter to go, they have a DEDICATED menu for our furry daughter!  That is TOO COOL!

    Visited T-Bones for the first time the other night while in New Hampshire for a golf outing with friends. We sat at the bar to eat which worked out well with very nice bar staff. The menu was quite extensive with something for just about every appetite.  Really can't find anything to complain about regarding T-Bones. If you are in the mood for a steak or burger I would certainly not hesitate to stop here. It is really just like any other "chain" restaurant. The biggest plus for me was the attentive and friendly bartenders.

    Service: always excellent
    Quality: food is excellent
    Portions: just right

    Will continue to be a regular customer.

    i have eaten here before without a problem but this time sucked

    went here for a quick lunch, i ordered the blt burger and the wife got the shrimp and lobster special {$24.99}  20 minutes later the food showed up. the toasted bread my burger was on was burnt but i told the waitress it was ok. my wife picked a piece of shrimp up and it was raw, i cut it in half and it was cold as well. gave it back to the waitress,  she said she would have it cooked more I told her to forget it. manager came over to apologize  and gave us a gift certificate,

    Mozzarella sticks are good, not a big portion. Had the sirloin Greek salad, good size portion, steak was cooked how I ordered it, salad was fresh, dressing a little bland. Wife had the chicken fresco wrap. It was good just kinda dry could have used some kinda sauce. Daughter had chicken tenders, she like them. Over a good dinner, not outstanding but definitely would eat here again.

    My parents love T-Bones (though I prefer their sister restaurant, Cactus Jacks) so we go there often. The service is always great, although sometimes we wait quite a long time for appetizers that would seem easy to make (like the tomato hummus with pita wedges and veggies). The menu is huge and it's easy to find something for everyone. One thing I love about T-Bones and Cactus Jacks is that they have low calorie, low fat options on the menu, marked with little pink t-shirts. Those items list the calorie and fat count if you order them "in the pink." Tonight I had the low fat chicken fresco wrap "in the pink" and it was delicious. There are many "in the pink" options on the menu, which is why we keep going back. It's rare to find so many healthy choices in a typical American eatery. They also have an outdoor patio where you can bring your dog along as you eat.

    Stopped by T-Bones 2 nights ago for dinner because our flight to Boston got delayed and they were the only place open after 10PM.

    We got the espinaca dip, lemon dill salmon, and some kind of chicken sandwich that came with humongous french fries.

    The espinaca dip was like slightly lumpy cheese dip with pico sprinkled on top. Considering how hungry my coworker and I were, we both thought it was delicious, even though the chips that came with it were SUPER stale and greasy. About half way through the cheese dip, our entrees came out and we immediately regretted stuffing out faces with dip...because the entrees looked much yummier.

    My lemon dill salmon came in a shallow bowl of buttery-looking liquid (it may actually be just plain butter, but I'm trying to convince myself that it wasn't). Despite the unhealthiness, the fish was cooked just right and quite delicious. It was a pretty big portion as well considering that it was under the "smaller portion" section of the menu. The rice pilaf that came with tasted exactly like the ones at Applebee's and the broccoli was a little on the mushy side.

    My coworker commented that his chicken sandwich was quite good. And again, those french fries were some of the biggest I've seen before...but both of us were too stuffed from the cheese dip to really eat any of them.

    I love T-Bones.  Been going with my dad almost once a week since I was a kid.  How can you complain when there's something on the menu for everyone?  I've tried several of their meals including sandwiches, appetizers, soups, and entrees, and I very rarely find something I'm not a fan of.  The Espinacha dip is my favorite, I also love the mixed basket.  I was so bummed when they removed the Chicken Cordon Bleu from the menu, but they'll still make it for you if you ask nicely- which I recommend!  My only complaint about this location is the parking which can be pretty difficult, but overall, it's a great restaurant for when you don't know what you feel like but you want to know you're getting a great meal.

    It is what it is, folks.  T-Bones Great American Eatery is there to please the masses.  I ate here with my in-laws over Easter and it was great because there was something for everybody.  Apparently, a gold 55 card would have gotten my in-laws a free meal.  Keep that in mind if you are over 55!

    The atmosphere was no different from most chain restaurants except they do give off a slightly more local feel.  I also give them kudoz for having magic hat #9 on tap.

    One of my pet peeves is when a restaurant has a menu that is as thick as a chapter book.  I was turned off by T-Bone's menu.  It was too much.  I am not a fan of too many choices...more choices usually means less quality food.  

    I got the lobster mac and cheese and it was just ok.  The table ordered maple glazed wings, however, and I was pleasantly surprised!

    I will go back if I am in a similar situation in the future, but never on my own!

    I enjoy this place a lot. The food is always good, the beer is cold and the staff is super friendly. I get to eat out every night of the week and I have gone here once per week over the last 5 weeks. This is my last week in town and I will go one more time. If you crave a burger this is the place.
    enjoy!

    This place is awesome.  The food here is amazing.  I am literally stunned by how good the food is here every time I go.
    ~
    We were here Saturday night.  It doesn't look like much inside - like a 99 or Chili's or something.  Generic American Restaurant.
    ~
    But the food - seriously - it's awesome.
    ~
    They give you bread - and it's GOOD.  It's a round small loaf of fresh-baked awesomeness.  It's really wonderful - and any place with good bread means: GOOD FOOD!
    ~
    I got their tomato-mozzerella pizza thing and it was good - little greasy but very tasty - Ate the whole thing.  Nice buttery crispy crust thing going on.
    The dame got a burger.  I HATE burgers from restaurants.  They always have ZERO flavor.  This burger (the All-American, I believe) was INCREDIBLE.  The burger itself was grilled so well:  it had this wonderfully charred outside that added so much depth of flavor - it really made the burger.  Fresh toppings, nice bun.  Good stuff - the burgers here really are the best restaurant-types around.
    ~
    And it wasn't that expensive!  Dinner for two was like $23!  You CANNOT beat that for the quality of food we got - EVER!
    ~
    This place was surprisingly awesome.  Kind of like.... ME!

    This is my weekly dinner. They have a very diverse menu, the best happy hourS specials and some pretty cool bartenders!
    They're happy hour includes drink and dining specials and runs from 4-6 every day and from 9-close as well! They have half off all apps 9-close every night and serve food until 12:30am!
    I recommend the bouchetta* its almost like a plain pizza on thick toast but its so fresh and always delicious!
    I've only had one bad experience in which our server (the bar was full) was a complete idiot and was totally rude. We haven't seen her there since so we hope she got fired. :) Everyone else rules! Christine, Nikki, Mary, Tom and Amber are our usual bartenders that always treat us great and know exactly what we want (since we almost always order the bouchetta)
    The only downfall is you have to catch the bartenders on the right night to get to know who they are, since there are about 10 and they have no set schedule for bar. We've gone enough that we know em all pretty well now.
    Get the baked mac and cheese and can the lobster they tried to throw in it. It's so good without the lobster! Creamy inside and crunchy topping, yum!

    Yeah this place was pretty dull.  I guess it's owned by the same people as Cactus Jacks (CJ's) which we loved; so we tried T-Bones and it was more of a generic, bland appleby's sort of theme.  The crowd was also more aged... we had the famous award winning burger which was good, but not THAT good.  Service was slow.  Not going back.

    I've always loved T Bones.  I know the atmosphere definitely is rather plain and not exciting, but I go there for the food.  I've never had a bad meal here.  On my last visit, I had their espinaca dip which is awesome. It's second to only Shorty's version of the appetizer in my book.  I had a sirloin steak, which was cooked to perfection too.  I wouldn't recommend T Bones for a date, but it's a great place to go for a relaxing meal.  I don't know if they still do it, but the bar used to have nightly food specials.

    Kind of bland all around. The food was low grade and lacked some flavor. I had a steak and it just wasn't what it should have been. My hubby had a hamburger and even that lacked flavor, they seem to use low grade beef too, It didn't look that great. The service wasn't great either, I did have to wait about 15 minutes until I got a refill and I asked her for some A-1 and she didn't come back for about 8 minutes and didn't even bring the A-1 so I had to ask for it again. It wasn't too busy in there so I don't know what the hold up was. Overall, I'd give this restaurant a C-.
