[[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything about the place ... except the waterfront view ... is exceptionally mediocre.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is just OK and the service is inconsistent. There are better options in Wolfeboro. read more

Service was horrible. I have been coming here for a long time, food and service was terrible. Some people at the table did not get there meals. Those that did get the meals food was cold. When we spoke the to the Manager, he completely dismissed our complaints. He actually said he had no time for my complaining. They were short staffed and doing the best they could. Then he walked a way. My husband took offense at the way he spoke to me and did let him know that it's not acceptable to speak to anyone that way. The manager then came to our table and demanded we leave. He called us assholes and said he was going to call the police if we didn't leave. It was an experience we have not ever had. It's a shame that a customer would ever be treated in that manner. If you want slow cold food, this is the place. Rudeness is just an added bonus. read more

Went for lunch today. No tap beers, the taps weren't working. The Dirty Martinis were great! Fish and chips were good, burgers were good, but if you want cheese it's $1 extra, linguine with clam sauce was ok, but way too much black pepper. $14 Caesar salad, but to add steak was an extra $18! It was 4 small slices! The kids meal haddock bites were old and hard. We had mussels appetizer which were okay but only came with 2 slices of bread, when we asked for more, they charged us $5! Our total check was $275 and I think it's not good business to nickel and dime your customers. Our server Mack was excellent! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Efficient, friendly server (thanks Sarah). Tried something different this time - two appetisers: crabcakes and nachos with guacamole. Both were very good and both gluten free. Could do with a bit more heat like jalapeños in the nachos but flavour was good. Crabcakes stuffed with crab and not filler. read more

Excellent food with great service and atmosphere. The view here is great, looks down the lake with tons of boat traffic.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice patio, but we sat for 40 minutes after ordering drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Left and nobody noticed read more

GET A WINDOW SEAT I've been meaning to write this review for awhile. We stopped in at the beginning of the year. Sparsely occupied because of covid. Nicely decorated. Warmly greeted. Seated by the window overlooking Wolfeboro Bay. Trifecta: Great service, tasty food, and great view. read more

Avocado shrimp salad was horrible, brown avocado and 4 shrimp. Bartender was absolutely wasted. Such a nice location but an absolute S*** show. read more

Higher priced restaurant in downtown Wolfeboro, but you're paying for the view and the ambiance. Crab cake sandwich and chicken quesadillas are our families favorites. Our go-to almost every time we come up to visit! read more

Get there early and sit out side! Friendly staff, very busy and the food and drinks were good. Try the Lake Winni Sunrise and fish & chips it comes in a small size. read more

Friendly staff, incredible Bloody Mary, magnificent blue cheese burger cooked to absolute perfection. And a nice view!

Oh Garwoods! Best location in town. Beautiful restaurant. Nice addition to the decks. Good service, acceptable (not great) food. My problem right now is they cut back of a third (or more) of their menu. Which means a lot less options for folks. Last time there I got chowder and potstickers. Not that great. My wife got a salad that she could get at the Market Basket togo counter. My daughter said the Caesar Salad was very good. The burger is good but it's not on the menu. 5 spice salmon is also decent. read more

Perfect location. Extremely disappointed sign says "do not feed the ducks" and the waitresses were dumping leftover drinks into the lake. Bizarre. Fish was yummy flavor but overcook & dry. Burger was yummy. Service was blah. Expensive. read more

Garwoods Restaurant & Pub - Table with a view - Seafood Near Me - Wolfeboro, New Hampshire

What a beautiful place with a yummy menu! We stopped here on our way home from our Lake Winnipesaukee weekend and weren't disappointed. We ate outside and it was a little windy and chilly (Labor Day weekend ) but the view was really pretty. We ate some oysters, a steak and cheese sandwich and fish and chips - everything was delicious! We felt clean and safe during covid and our waiter was kind. Definitely recommend!! read more

Very pleased with their food! I believe the best calamari I've ever had and their Cod was cooked perfectly with their fish and chips. Tasted like the freshest of these items I've had anywhere. Topped off with a couple of Guinness and I'm very satisfied. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I'd say worth every bite! read more

Said it was open but locked up tight. Can't give a fair review. Maybe next time. Thanks read more

I'll start with the good. The servers were friendly and timely. The drinks were good and strong. However not strong enough to make the food edible. My baked cod came out of a bag in the frozen food isle and was microwaved for sure. The capers were grey and the sauce was, well I'm not sure what that was supposed to be. Everything was completely dry. I only took half a bite and still my stomach hurt on the way home. And I was the lucky one. My daughter's chicken tasted like fish and she got a nosebleed on the ride home. My mother in law ate some of her French onion soup, my wife ate half of an oddly shaped piece of fish that was atop of her taco. The guacamole came out a bag, there was some dry cabbage, no cilantro, no salsa. It was pretty god awful. The pot stickers were slimy and tasted rubbery. They both had to run into the bathroom of gas station twenty minute later. I've never written a review in my life and I am very easy going and forgiving when it comes to bars and restaurants. But whatever is going on this kitchen is making people sick and you are charging real prices for frozen food and fish while overlooking a lake. It felt very ironic. read more

We went tonight, party of 5. Service was really off. The waitress was training someone but drink refills never came, items were forgotten. It wasn't busy at all. Items we ordered 1. French Onion Soup - it was just ok. The broth was not flavorful at all, there was nothing much of a crouton and just barely a floater of cheese. 2. Two burgers were good, no issues 3. Fish tacos were good no issue 4. Two orders of fish and chips - fish want fresh, and the cuts were weird cylindrical pieces which were very firm and not flaky. All diners complained the fries were limp, underdone and a couple of dishes as well as the fries were just not hot at all. read more

Ordered the Buffalo chicken tender appetizer. I'm pretty sure it was frozen Tyson chicken. A little too uniform. Gross. read more

Place was better than I expected! Food was tasty, place was spotless, waitress was one of the best around, and the views were great. Definitely returning! read more

Garwoods Restaurant & Pub - Mini sandwich and soup lunch special - Seafood Near Me - Wolfeboro, New Hampshire

Hands down the best meal we have had in a while. They really cannot go wrong with any item on their menu! I tried the portobello mushroom sandwich- hearty flavorful filling, lovely naan bread and perfect portions. Husband loved their surf and turf-came with a good sized crab cake, steak, mashed potatoes and veggies. Do try their crab cakes! Their tiramisu was perfect! It is not easy to come across a perfect tiramisu and this place has nailed it. I also had the Moscow mule which had a good level of alcohol and went really well with my meal read more

We hadn't been here for a few years, but went recently for lunch on a sunny July day. The hostess was pleasant and accommodated our request to sit outside on the water. Our server was prompt, thorough and helpful ("be careful not to step on duck poop"). And yes, we enjoyed the hen duck that was visiting tables. Our food was excellent: heaping plate of traditional nachos, grilled salmon sandwich, and seared tuna tacos. All in all a very pleasant stay. read more

We had a great dinner in a beautiful location. Everyone was very friendly and the service was fast despite it being a busy July 4 weekend night! At the end of the night I left my sunglasses there accidentally. The manager there mailed in back to me in Massachusetts and paid for the shipping! This place is truly amazing. Go now! read more

Nice atmosphere...Food was decent not great ...The bartender needs to learn how to make a drink. Margarita was all sour mix undrinkable and other drinks very weak. Switch to beer after round. Nice places should be able to make a decent drink. read more

My husband and I walked in and sat at the bar. We waited 15 minutes before the bartender gave us a menu. Did not even say hi to us. We waited another 10 minutes and we left. It wasn't even packed. Service was horrible and not friendly whatsoever. Not worth the time and money. read more

Inside seating is nice but If you get a seat outside it's even better! The food was great, our waitress was really cool and desert was awesome. read more

Tonight was a lets try somewhere we haven't eaten before night, and as we love dining on Lake Winnipausaukee, we chose Garwoods. When we arrived, we were surprised that there were tables on the deck available, as it is a friday night around 6:30. To say the views here were better than expected, is an understatement My wife started with their lobster bisque and I chose the clam chowder. It was just a typical chowder to me, but thats not really a bad thing, as most restaurants in this area have better than average chowders. My wife loved her bisque though, and said she'd order it again. As we aren't big eaters these days, we both had salads for dinner. My wife had the butternut squash ravioli salad and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I chose the Shrimp and Avocado salad and although this dish was not something I'd normally order, I loved it. I see other reviews mention the prices and yes it was a bit pricey, but the whole experience here was well worth it. read more

There are certain dishes for which we come back again and again to Garwoods, and this trip was no exception. Our meals were excellent as usual. However, the noise at the bar was incredibly loud and the diners near the windows, not just us, were having a hard time hearing each other in our own conversations. Why can't you put a glass partition between the bar and the dining room to cut the noise factor? Clear glass, nautical theme, would look just fine. On another note, we love that you are increasing the outdoor space by building a deck. That will be a big plus. read more

Garwoods rocks. They have 3 slips in the back where you can pull in, step off and roll into the restaurant. They added a second upper deck which provides just about the nicest view from any restaurant on the lake. The food is consistently very good. My wife and I will be heading over for our last order of fish and chips before we take the boat out for the winter. Thier F & C's is the best anywhere. I can't believe those who complain about the abreviated menu. It is a miracle the place survived the pandemic closures. I have been a huge fan of this place for 20 years. It consistently delivers an excellent meal. Not perfect. But damn good. read more

Love this place - great ambience, view, and really solid food! If you're seated inside, feels like you're in a ship. Really cute spot in Wolfboro. I will say the buffalo chicken tenders were probably the best I've ever had in my life!!! Everything is great - the ahi tuna tacos were tasty (obviously not the most authentic tacos I've ever had in my life but healthy and very satiating). The five-spice salmon salad was excellent. read more

Two stars because the best thing about this place is the view. the food was terrible. Fried fish sandwich that was so overcooked it was like a eating a brick. Butternut ravioli that were obviously frozen on a bed of wilted lettuce. I've had better Potstickers out of the freezer aisle at Walmart. They did have a tasty fruit infused tequila we enjoyed, and the bartender was pleasant enough. Go here for drinks and the view, save your money and don't order food. read more

Nice inside with some seating down below on the water however the menu is very limited

We have been tasting lobster rolls throughout New England and Garwoods not only stands at the top of the list for the flavor of the lobster salad, but the use of a croissant instead of the traditional roll was a welcome addition. Surprisingly Lake Winnipesaukee has few lakefront dining spots, so take advantage of the outdoor seating if available. read more
