    Great breakfast! First time trying, since our normal place was closed for a holiday. Called ahead and they let us get on the list, which was a huge help with the 30 minute wait. Not a huge amount of seating, but they were able to get us a 6 person table. Very clean, and welcoming waitresses. Service was prompt for drinks and ordering, but a long wait for food. Not an issue since we had nowhere to be, and could be an issue for those on a tight schedule. Could have also just been a one off that day. Dealbreaker for me on breakfast places is the coffee, and the coffee here was perfect. Not old/burned, or fancy/bitter, just good coffee. Food was absolutely on point. Fajita omelet, breakfast burritos were delicious, and the fried potatoes were great. I will be dining here again TLDR: Nice staff, good coffee, delicious food.

    The food was tasty. Stopped here on the way home. Service was fast and friendly and everyone enjoyed their meals: eggs, omelette, breakfast sandwich, etc. Tasty crispy bacon! Seemed like a bunch of locals and regulars in there and the vibe was casual, place was small, but we liked it.

    Great staff that was super friendly. Food was good and a great portion. It came out in a timely manner and you couldn't beat the views.

    The Hungry Boater

    What fantastic find. Great food at very reasonable prices. I would expect higher prices due to the area. I got the Hungry Boater. Huge meal that has 3 eggs, pancakes, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, a piece of ham, home fries and toast. Burp! So good.

    Two eggs, biscuits, short stack, fruit and then the corned beef hash omelette with home fries and english muffin

    Old diner vibes, friendly staff and love supporting local like this. I'd ask for the home fries well done next time cause some of the potatoes were cold (but they had great seasoning). Other than that food was your average diner comfort food! A great location in Meredith with a water view and walking distance from the docks and Mills Falls area!

    We have been here a million times and it is always amazing !!! Best poached eggs around

    Best breakfast place around the lakes region !!! my husband and I have been everywhere but this is our favorite. We go here very frequently. It is always consistent, best poached eggs around and the best bacon around. Everything is cooked fresh and a very friendly catering staff can't wait to go back next weekend.!!!!

    Food was really good! Portion sizes were very generous. Staff was friendly but salty.

    We chose this brunch spot on a weekend visit because they offered some outdoor seating. While waiting for our name to be called we noticed that the waitress serving the outside tables was wearing her mask incorrectly (under her nose) and then TOOK THE MASK OFF while taking orders not even two feet away from patrons. We immediately took our names off the waitlist and switched to takeout instead. It seemed like this place was pretty understaffed but they forgot about our order until the hostess came out and saw we were still hanging around. When we came in to grab the food and pay, the same waitress was not wearing her mask INSIDE. I get that NH is a state with so-so mask adherence, but I expect businesses to comply with the state rules at a minimum. And by the way, the food was lukewarm and mediocre at best. So if you want a one-stop shop for bad food and COVID, by all means, check it out. [one redeeming aspect of the visit was the bubbly hostess, so do say hi to her.] We went to 48 Main for coffee after and saw they have great breakfast food and outdoor seating - save your time and head straight there.

    The portion sizes have been cut in half. I'd rather they raise the prices and then give the amount of food they used to.

    Lakehouse Grille - Lobster roll

    My first time back since they changed the menu. Prior visits were always good but I was looking…read moreforward to checking out the new menu. This is a lovely restaurant that sits alongside Meredith Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee. There are a number of seating choices including bar, high top and conventional tables, many with views of the lake. This time of the year, the views of the snow-covered frozen lake are gorgeous. I wish I could say the same thing about our dinner, which frankly was a disappointment. The menu includes a good variety of starters, appetizers, salads, handhelds, and entrees. Two of us ordered the Flat Iron Steak. I realize this is usually a chewier cut of meat, but this was so tough it was inedible. Our server and the manager both could not have been nicer in terms of how they handled this as I returned mine and was quickly brought a different dinner- a French Dip sandwich. This was tasty but there was more bread than roast beef. The other person chose to keep her flat iron streak, but I could tell it was very difficult to cut and chew. Another ordered the Chicken Milanese Salad which included arugula, peppers, roasted tomatoes and olives in a balsamic dressing. The Parmesan crusted pan fried chicken came over-done but that meal was well-liked. The service and the ambiance were stellar.

    Absolutely -- here's a stellar, heartfelt Yelp-style review for Lakehouse Grille in Meredith, NH,…read morethat highlights your loyalty, the special occasion, and the exceptional hospitality you received: 5 Stars - Hospitality at Its Finest + Fantastic Food! Lakehouse Grille in Meredith has been our family favorite for years, and once again, they've reminded us why we keep coming back. This recent visit was a bit different--we came for lunch instead of our usual dinner, and we were celebrating the life of my mother-in-law who had just passed away. It was a meaningful day for us, and from the moment we walked in, we were met with the kind of warmth and genuine care that makes this place so special. Our server McKenzie was nothing short of extraordinary. She greeted us with kindness and compassion, and her attentiveness throughout the meal truly elevated the experience. She understands hospitality on a deep level. One moment in particular left us speechless--when my husband asked for a cappuccino, she regretfully explained that the restaurant doesn't have an espresso machine (which, side note, they should totally invest in one!). But instead of letting that be the end of it, McKenzie took it upon herself to walk over to the hotel lobby and make an espresso for him. When she returned, proud and smiling, it was a small act that meant the world to us. It's this kind of care and heart that the hospitality industry desperately needs more of. As always, the food was fantastic. We had lobster rolls this time and they were generously portioned, super fresh, and fairly priced--honestly some of the best we've had. For dessert, the crème brûlée was smooth, rich, and the perfect sweet ending. Their wine list is decent too and pairs nicely with the lunch menu. Between the amazing lake views, consistently excellent food, and unmatched hospitality, Lakehouse Grille continues to be a true gem. We're already looking forward to returning in the spring--and truly hope we see McKenzie again. She's a star!

A look at the menu and you get the sense they are trying to appeal to a very broad variety of tastes. Also makes you wonder if they can they pull off everything? For the most part. Ordered the Ruby Red Tini which was pretty good though it would have been better with fresh jalapeño. The brine from pickled jalapeño took away from the grapefruit. I didn't hate it. Italian wedding soup was good if from a can. French onion soup was good. Dinner rolls (not complementary) were good. Wedge salad was on point. Prime rib was cooked to order, nice thick cut, drowning in au jus which flooded the plate. I didn't care for the canned beets which were just ok, the loaded baked potato was overcooked, fries were good. Service was very good. Worth a visit at least once when in Moultonborough.
