So, I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. My entire family accompanied me, but they've all been here many times. The vibe is chill. The decor is different from most places. The beer menu was great - many draft options with various sizes. And, the beer came out very cold. The menu had something for everyone. Prices were very reasonable too. I had the turkey dinner and it was awesome. This might just be my new favorite place!!

You come here for the novelty of eating in an old church. You dont come here expecting amazing food.
As an appetizer, I had the buffalo chicken dip. It was surprisingly pretty good, especially with the fried tortilla pieces they served it with. It was cheesy, full of chicken, and just the right amount of franks red hot for an additional acidity.
Based on looks alone, I ordered the Reuben sandwich with onion rings. The sauerkraut was a little to sour for my taste, and was overwhelming the corned beef at times. The sandwich was substantial, but dont expect it to be loaded up like at a ny deli. The onion rings were OK, with their lack of seasoning and fairly limp onion pieces.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 22247203Nov 28, 2023Updated review
I've always been fond of this place, such a great setting! We got there early to avoid the Friday night wait and were seated immediately. Our server was pleasant. My eating buddy got bangers and mash and literally teared up as he was whisked back to England. He'd never had scotch eggs which he enjoyed too. My chicken picatta was weird? The sauce was super thick and the chicken wasn't breaded? It was better the next day but still off. I'll always like this place regardless.

It is loud but the open concept and huge stained glass windows are worth it. Wait time is worth it too even if it takes a while. We always leave stuffed and happy.

Had a delightful dining experience at Holy Grail recently. Met with 8 family members including a two year old and 6 week old baby. We received excellent service from Jennifer who was friendly and prompt with all of our needs. The food was really good. We shared Irish Nachos and Philly Cheesesteak Rolls. For dinner we had Bangers and Colcannon (so good!), a Kahuna Burger, a Veggie Burger, a Smokehouse Burger and a Reuben. Everything was delicious. Of course, we enjoyed a few brews. They have beer cocktails-I had a Guinness and Shed mixture-very good. The restaurant is large with various types of seating. Dry kid friendly. Interesting decor as the building was formally a church. Plenty of parking, clean bathrooms. I look forward to returning.

I had the baked haddock in a wine butter sauce. Just the right amount. The haddock was delicious!! So moist and cooked to perfection. It had just the right amount of cracker topping. We had a wonderful waitress. I wish I caught her name. It is an old church converted into a restaurant & bar. They kept the natural featured of the church with the stained glass windows. Gorgeous!! We can't wait to go back.

I'm sorry...i really am but The Holy Grail was pretty disappointing to both my hubs and me. We went in on a weeknight (maybe Wednesday?) and asked for rolls & butter. What we got were a couple if blobs if dough that we're clearly microwaved. These "rolls" proved to be totally inedible. Biting into one gave me the sensation of biting into a rubber ball. For someone who is "texture sensitive", the experience was a total turn-off.
My salad came and that was even worse! The greens were warm & wilted, I asked for extra dressing in the side but it was poured into the salad instead, making for a soggy, icky, inedible mess. Hub's burger wasn't any better...it was tiny and overcooked.
I was stunned; we had been here before and our meal was much better (hence, the 3 stars) so I'm not sure what happened. I'm disappointed and probably will not be returning.
I am sorry.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Michael C.Hallsville, Manchester, NH01Feb 20, 2024
Worst meal I have ever been served I ordered the fish and chips which if you are British or Irish means a fried filled of haddock with hot thick almost steak fries what I got was pollack fish fingers with cold McDonald's style fries if that wasn't bad enough my wife ordered a burger medium well with fries she got a burger a shade of pink I've never seen with still frozen French fries on the plate I've never in my life encountered a restaurant so bad at cooking food
