We ate here in our most recent vacation to New Hampshire. They do not have the largest menu, but they have all of the standards including fresh caught seafood. I had one of the house specialties, the crabcake sandwich which was large and tasty. It was a little too soft for me, but as it tasted good, I had no room to complain. It's a small place but because it's one of the few spots you can actually drive your boat up to, I am sure it's hopin' in the summer time. I'll definitely return to sample their offerings again. read more

Great location and nice outside eating area. If you want to have a drink them town docks is acceptable but if your planning to eat you should go somewhere else. We are local and visit the town docks a few times each summer but the food is consistently poor. There is no safe item on the menu. The burgers, chicken sandwich, the Ahi tuna tacos, the mussels, the fries, the potato salad, the coleslaw. All horrible. For a common man restaurant this place is an embarrassment. If it wasn't next to the lake it would have been out of business a long time ago. read more

I have never not finished an ahi tuna meal before but the ahi tasted weird like it had freezer burn. It didn't taste fresh at all. I complained and the manager came to the table to discuss but didn't offer a discount or replacement. In fairness I did try to eat most of it before I threw in the towel. Everything else is nice about the docks and the other people in my party enjoyed their meals. The ice cream is great. As kind of payback for not getting any restitution for the meal I steered a few potential customers away from the docks last weekend. There are better lunch options in Meredith. read more

Service was horrible, food was subpar. All we ordered was sandiches and it took over an hour. Great view but not worth it.

Great food and drinks. I love the Watermelon Bowls and the Pina Colada in a pineapple! Genius!

Ordered their watermelon drink, it was ok. The waitress seemed overwhelmed and was rude. Wouldn't waste my time going back again for food, maybe just drinks. Just a novelty for tourists. read more

I love this restaurant for many reasons. Mostly because this is where I worked while in college. I have so many memories here, one being the day that I met my husband. But besides all of those great memories this is a great restaurant. The Town Docks is a very casual restaurant. There is a "cafeteria-style" section inside the restaurant and a server section outside including their upstairs porch. If you're going to come to this restaurant please go outside and get waited on. It's such a great experience. They make you feel like you're on a tropical island. It's located right on the edge of Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith, you can even pull your boat up to one of their dock slips. The outdoor section is a sandy beach. They have a tropical beach bar and Caribbean music playing. They frequently have live bands outside performing as well. This is such a fun place to go. And the food is great. They serve basic cuisine, fried & grilled seafood to burgers and salads. My favorite thing is a frozen drink that they serve in half of a watermelon. So big and SO yummy! When I worked there it was a special drink so we only had it occasionally but I think the last time I stopped in it was a permanent fixture on their drink list. Make sure you leave room for dessert. After dinner walk around to the other side of the building to "Franky's" the ice cream shack. All of the ice cream is homemade and very good! *this is a seasonal restaurant. opened labor day through Columbus day* read more

Great place on the water, I ordered a burger and I was very impressed to see that all their burgers are grass fed beef and made to order, it was delicious, ultimate margarita was great as well, service good, and relaxed dock atmosphere definitely come here if your in New Hampshire! read more

Town Docks - Ultimate Margarita! Delicious - American Near Me - Meredith, New Hampshire

This place is awful. Get an overpriced drink with absolutely no alcohol and leave. Or just save yourself $50 and go to Patrick's in Gilford. Awful Tourist trap. We ordered $19 steak tips and got 6 tiny little pieces of rubbery steak. We also made the mistake of ordering chicken tenders which came from the frozen foods section to the grocery store for a lovely $12. When I questioned the waitress she said "Well that's how they come!" Our table was covered in a sticky goo and the menus had remnants of the last patrons meals. Now that I think about it.. I believe there was more food stuck to the menus vs. the order of steak tips. I have been using yelp for years and this crappy experience inspired me enough to write my first review to forewarn others. Can I get my money back? How do I give them negative stars? I wish I was bulimic... read more

Location. Location. Location. This place is amazing. Great place to be on a nice day. Great drinks. Solid apps. I would be here a lot if I lived closer. Very solid Pina Colada. Equally yummy chowdah. Buffalo wings were solid. Def. will return. read more

If you are going to Meredith NH you must stop by the Town Docks as it is a perfect location right on the water. It overlooks the lake with great music, drinks, food and the service is amazing. My husband and I rented out a portion of the bar and hosted our welcome party here for our wedding and it was one of my favorite parts of the whole weekend! Our bartenders Heather and Chris were amazing! The owner, Marius was so easy to work with and the food was great! I highly recommend stopping by for a great vibe, nice people, great food and drinks! read more

My frappé took longer than any if the other drinks. Why? My frappé should take just as long as every other drink. I mean you cant just make a man wait for his frappé. Its not right. I asked for a chocolate frappé, and then have everyones drinks come and she says you have to wait. Like what the hell? You cant just do that! Its unacceptable. 8/10 pretty good read more

Disappointing experience today at Town Docks. I come here every summer and usually enjoy it. The atmosphere is wonderful by the water and the service is usually good. Today I ordered the lobster salad plate and asked for the dressing on the side. My friend ordered a chicken sandwich. We both ordered clam chowder. The waiter asked if we wanted the chowder served first and we said "yes". After a long wait our food came without the clam chowder. My salad was drenched in a very sour citrus dressing and my friend got chicken salad plate instead of a sandwich. They redid her order and we had our chowder while we waited (which was delicious-this was the highlight of the meal). I asked for a side salad to replace what was under my lobster and I was brought a bowl of lettuce. I was stunned. The waiter did take 20% off our bill because of all the mistakes. I probably will not return here again unless it's just for ice cream. read more

Good food, and even better ambiance. These people know how to make you feel its summer. Pina Coladas in pineapple were a huge hit, and I loved there mahi-mahi tacos! Close walk from town docks. read more

What a great spot. Right on the marina, perfect view of the water, and the best ice cream I have, no joke, ever had. Salted Caramel Oreo for the win. Great people watching spot. Beware of the loud alarm horn downtown. That's the only thing that could be a negative. read more

Good spot for drinks outdoors. Beautiful setting on lake Winnie... Great spot for kids ... the steamed lobster is a good deal as well. Definitely worth a visit read more

Ate at Town Docks on their opening weekend, beautiful weather helped for a great experience. Just love the atmosphere, casual and relaxing with a fabulous view. I had the hot buttered lobster roll and hubby had steak tips. Both were great meals. Service was very good and managers very visible helping new staff and speaking with customers. read more

First time to Town Docks. I found it a bit confusing with no one really taking time to explain the whole inside/outside, full service vs self service set up. We wanted full service but ended up being pushed into placing orders at the counter & having to pick them up ourselves. Then you get relegated to the lesser seating areas. The indoor dining area is kind of dingy. The outdoor space has the benefit of a beautiful view. My daughter had a burger & I had pulled pork. Both very good. Makes for a decent casual lunch. We got ice cream (excellent!) from the take out window and walked the dock afterwards. That was the highlight! read more

Well i was excited to finally hit town docks. I Kept seeing the big lobster roll on their menu (not the 45 colossal one but the big one for 36.00. I ordered it butter poached. What I got was mostly the claw piece that no one eats because it Tastes like sea water mush (Not claw meat the actual claw) zero tail meat and some flaked pieces with a side of Melted butter. For 36.00 I expected a whole lot more than that. Everyone's else's were meals were just Ok . The waiter was a nice kid not his fault and very attentive . So maybe the other stuff is ok but the lobster roll star away from for the price read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. Great way to enjoy a meal in the sun. Awesome lobster roll both new England and warm versions. Try the watermelon bowl, one of the best summer drinks. read more

We just returned from a week of camping in Meredith, NH and bookended our stay at Town Docks with dinner the first and last night. Food was delicious, menu diverse and interesting, and staff friendly and attentive. Our final night the weather was perfect for sitting outside and we opened for the second floor balcony overlooking the water. Prices were reasonable and good selections for cocktails. We will be back! read more

What can I say about the view. It is simply awe inspiring! I have been there twice and enjoyed it both times. Was there a few nights ago, Saturday, and it was packed at 7pm (as expected). There was a line of 40 people waiting for an outside seat. Luckily I was alone and found a seat at the bar. I ordered the painkiller bucket (attaching a photo). $14 and says it is for 2-4 people. I enjoyed mine greatly. I had already eaten but wanted to try the shrimp cocktail. It was ok. They boil the shrimp in a seasoning and it just didn't have the crispness of what it should have. read more

I'm reviewing the Lobster Roll Kit for 4. This was so easy and delicious! Called in the order, picked it up at the window. Tons of wonderful lobster in the salad. Homemade chips were great. Price was fair. Perfect solution for our need for lobster rolls in the time of COVID! Highly recommend! read more

Delicious mahi tacos. The chowders are thick and loaded. Cucumber basil cocktail was also delicious. We had an overall delicious dinner. Great service with Brenden. read more

Good food, great atmosphere. It's a well-placed dockside restaraunt with an awesome view of the water and its reminiscent of Joes Crabshack, but 10x better. read more

Town Docks - Fish and chips! Generous portion size makes it great for splitting! Great with a cup of lobster chowder! - American Near Me - Meredith, New Hampshire

Found this gem on the shoreline of the lake! The service was better than words can express! The manager is a extremely hilarious yet accommodating individual. The view was superb with a view of Lake Winnipesaukee! The food was excellent! I ordered a burger with pulled pork and it was cooked to perfection! There is seating for the entire family and friends! There is a bar attached to the establishment which is aesthetically pleasing! I highly recommend this establishment. The prices are extremely fair for a large portion of food. read more

Ordinary food given to you on paper plates and with plastic utensils. Food was cold by the time we sat down outside. The only thing going for it is the location. read more

The location is 5* - on the water, views of the lake, lights at night, etc. Can't be beat! The servers are young and enthusiastic and do a great job. The food is pretty average - enjoyable, but nothing to stoke a culinary whim. Prices are reasonable and the vibe itself is worth a vist. Definitely reocmmended. read more

The wait was lengthy but made super enjoyable by staff who went out of their way to make us feel at home (Christian & Devin) Make sure to ask for Christian who will make a great meal even better :) read more

Nice setting for late lunch. Cool atmosphere. Food kinda blah. Nothing special. Drinks ok. Our waitress did a really good job. There was one waiter with a mustache that thought he was a cool guy and kept yelling at people for feeding the ducks. I did not like his approach or tone although I was not one of his victims. read more

Love this place during the summer - essentially a 'beach bar' on the lake. They have a really creative casual menu and the bar is a perfect place to post up on a summer night. They usually always have live music too - good or bad, you ask? Who gives a shit! It's a great band, it's a bad band - it's like pizza baby, it's good no matter what! This is THE place to go for a casual warm-weather night in Meredith. Take note - a boat that docks right next to this place takes you to/from Laconia if you're interested. read more

Town Docks are the best summer spot in the lakes region. They have done a great job at expanding their outdoor seating which is totally lakeside. Being able to actually put your feet in the sand while having a drink is the ultimate relaxing lakes region summer outing. The food is great. It's not like the other Common Man restaurants where you expect some great, gourmet meal with fabulous presentation. You're in the sand. The food is perfect for that atmosphere. They cater to everyone- whether they're walking around Meredith or coming off the boat- you can get what you want. They have awesome appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. Everything is great and tastes wonderful. For the price, it's exceptional. They have a nice selection of mixed drinks but they're generally on the weak side. The watermelon bowls, in theory, sound wonderful. They taste alright too but there's really nothing in the way of alcohol in it. For what you pay, it's not worth it. Being a part of the Common Man Family, I have to say that I'm always disappointed in the service at Town Docks. While I am completely understanding of the fast-paced atmosphere and that the seating is outside (and quite a distance from the kitchen) the service is just not great. For me, that's a very important part of my dining experience. All in all, it's worth a visit. It's a perfect spot for a sunny day. read more

We stopped today (Saturday) knowing that they would be very busy. Managed to get two tables, one for kids and one for adults at 11:45. Our waitress was great especially since her name was Ashley! The food is good but the atmosphere is awesome!!! I could totally see Jimmy Buffett playing an impromptu concert here!! read more

Go for the atmosphere not for the food. Great views and live music but food is just mediocre at best.

Don't waste your time. Service was very slow food was over priced and bland. Waited wellover an hour for very basic food that did not come until we asked for the and it was all cold read more

Stumbled upon this gem after sitting at the dreaded light in Merideth- not sure how We've passed by this awesome spot without stopping. Great scene, tons of outside self seating, perfect view of the town docks (go figure!) and tiki bar in the sand. Had some steamers and shrimps and a great surf and turf with a crab cake. Have to come back to try some of the crazy cocktails- Rebecca was awesome. All around 5 stars. Oh and live band too- happiest happy hour! read more

Best food, sit outside. Great waiters and get ice cream after dinner. They have a long line, make a reservat

Little pricey for the lake view. This is more of a family place and vacation resort so they are going to ofcourse make up for the seasonal push. I didn't mind the lobster roll (traditional that is ) however I ordered 3 appetizers to try ( tuna ) negative 10 , chips and salsa ( very cheap and put together ) calamari ( old and no taste just all grease ) . However I do need to realize I shouldn't of ordered tuna at a lake . The food was nothing special , place is very casual. Just was expecting more I guess as I am getting married at church Landing next year. Church landing is just trying to represent a whole different dynamic then the places around it. read more

Great evening by the bar, on the sand, reasonably priced! We got a watermelon full of alcohol! It was delicious. Can't wait to come back!
