Believe it or not, although we've been summer vacationing in Wolfeboro for 28 years, we'd never set foot in the Wolfeborough Diner or its predecessor (IIRC, The Mast) until just recently; we don't do lunch out very often, and when we do ... well, there was something that always struck us as uninviting about this place.

But we were craving lobster rolls, remembered seeing these posts a while ago, and finally broke down and got some to take out -- they were FANTASTIC, and thanks so much for mentioning these 'best kept secrets' right in our own backyard.

We'd been going to Garwood's for our lobster roll/lobster salad fixes, but although we're still very high on Garwood's, the Wolfeborough Diner's lobster rolls beat them by a mile and are much less expensive. We also once ventured out to Waldo Pepper's a couple of years ago and were very disappointed -- and ticked off, since the Weirs is quite a distance to travel from Wolfeboro just for a lobster roll -- to have found the place closed on the Tuesday after Labor Day, with no notice either here or on the restaurant's website. We've been expecting to try the new location, which isn't as much of a trek from Wolfeboro, but will wait a while and stick with the Wolfeborough Diner, at least until the kinks noted on the thread about the new Waldo Pepper's have been worked out.
