I am a big fan of WP's cole slaw, absolutely the best!!!! But I will admit and have been relunctant to do so (for fear of getting u know what), that we visited probably the 3rd/4th day they opened. Building is nice/big parking lot, tables. But, I liked it better when you would order your food at the counter and go sit down. With the 8% NH Meals tax, alot of peeps on fixed incomes do not have the extra money to tip a waitress vs. leaving something in a tip jar @ the counter. As for the waitress, she was nice, but it take a while to get our menus/drinks. Again, better when you there was more of an option when you had both bottled Pepsi and Coke products in the sliders and pick your own vs. fountain.

When we ordered our lobster rolls off the menu provided (there was not an option of "hot"/"cold") and the waitress never asked "hot" or "cold" which is what we are accustomed to when visiting the old WP's, therefore, I personally made a point that I wanted "cold" and my husband "hot" as he loves their hot buttered lobster roll and does not like mayo at all w/ his lobster. The waitress did in fact right it down on the slip, but when the order came, his was not a "hot buttered" lobster roll and that is what he really wanted. I felt bad for him and the problem did not get fixed and we made it very clear that is not what was ordered and the waitress knew that, nor did they state that "hot" was not an option at that time of ordering. The waitress did offer to take an order of fries off the bill when she came back to the table (do not know if she spoke to Pepper or not, but she was there servicing tables herself) but he would have been happier if the untouched roll was removed from our table and returned as "hot buttered" and we were never provided that option and he ate it reluctantly

. The meat was fine, claw and tail meat. The onion rings were good, but we prefer the "old" rings better.

It will be awhile before we attempt a visit again as we were somewhat disappointed as loyal customers, but we do believe in 2nd chances.
