I've been a resident of Center Harbor and then Meredith, since 1985 and a regular customer at Karyn & Barry's since they opened. I've been there at all times of their operating hours, in the dining room and at the bar and have never, ever had a bad experience in all of that time, with the physical condition of the building, interior or exterior, the staff or the food.
Initially, I wasn't a big fan of their spaghetti sauce, as I always felt that no one made it like my Mom, but that's changed over the years, for the better. The varied menu is enough to make every visit seem like the first and the specials make for fun decisions night after night.
I guess if I can bump into so many 'locals' in Karen & Barry's on a regular basis, they certainly must be doing something right! I've seen many food establishments come and go in this area because they were not supported by the local residents after the Summer residents left for their homes. Karen & Barry remain because they produce a quality product combined with a pleasant, clean and very friendly atmosphere. It's actually fun to be there early in the off season and find them at a leisurely pace and actually able to say hello and for me to tell them just how wonderful the food is...and it always is!
