Brisket Benedict
Heather K.

Food was awesome. Was just the right amount to fill me up. The service was great. The lady who served us was very friendly and efficient. Was right on top of topping off coffee and filling drinks. Where we were sat had a good view of the lake. Overall cute little breakfast place.

Menu

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.

The Hungry Boater
Rick T.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.!!!!

Waitress taking orders with her mask off
Vicky G.

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.

Unpretentious, probably one of the best breakfast/ lunch places on the lake. I like the hash and eggs.

Flies. Flies everywhere. The food was reasonable, the prices were roughly comparable to other places. But the flies are really off-putting.

We've had our share of chowder in New England and this was the best! Entrees arrived and we had a variety such as Seared Tuna ,Blacked Mahi, Seafood Linguine,and stuffed Prawns. The tuna was exceptional, Seafood pasta good.The Mahi was dry but our server rushed to redo it.Came back perfect! Good wine selection. Definitely would go back.

Two burgers ordered medium were instead cooked well done, and a veggie bowl with rice was served with the most poorly cooked rice I've ever seen in a restaurant. It was a solid bowl-shaped mound of gummy rice mush. And when I asked if there was a non-dairy alternative to the naan it should have come with, I was told no but I suspect the waiter just didn't want to ask. The restaurant itself was nice enough, but we were seated near the bar, which was noisier than I would have preferred. (Mostly from the very chatty bartender) I'm sure they would have preferred being told at the time, but I wasn't interested in sending back 3 out of 5 meals. But eating out has gotten too expensive to accept meals that poor. It was $190 with tip for five. (No alcohol, but 3 mocktails) My son liked the Thai salmon.

What an absolutely wonderful dining experience!…read more The food was some of the most delicious I've ever had! We started with orange chicken topped with mandarin oranges and sesame seeds, along with pot stickers and a delicious pumpkin apple soup. Everything was bursting with flavor! The hostess was incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to tell us about the drink and lunch specials. The service was excellent from start to finish! We were fortunate enough to be seated near a window overlooking the lake, and the fall foliage was absolutely breathtaking. The beautiful autumn scenery made an already fantastic meal even more memorable. Delicious food, outstanding service, and a spectacular lake view. What more could you ask for? We will definitely be back!

Portion sizes are pretty massive. My dining partner got the meatloaf dish. It was absolutely ginormous! We were in an Airbnb without a full kitchen, so though we took it with us, he never did eat it. It was heavily glazed with something he did not like. Had it been glazed with a little lighter hand, he probably would not have minded it. But he did not like that flavor at all. The mac & cheese was good but again heavier than he likes to eat. The seafood dish I had, on the other hand, was very good. It had plenty of pieces of lobster in it, as well as generous portions of shellfish. The broth was also excellent. As this is a pricier place, we only made one trip during our 13-day stay. It is worth a visit here, and you'll likely get enough for a second meal. There were lots of good choices on the menu. I originally thought to give this place 5 stars based on my dish, but due to the fact that my dining partner did not make any effort to eat the rest of his meal he took home because he said he didn't like it enough, that took a star away.
