Thursday - Looney Bin .40 cent wings Lots of varieties!
Thursday - Frog Rock Tavern - $5 Burgers

The Lob Pound has an AYCE Fish fry on Fridays... But it might top the $25 budget (I don't know how much it is as I don't eat fish)

Union Diner also has AYCE haddock & fries on Friday nights for 9 or 10 bucks, I believe? I've never had it, but I hear it is quite good, (their breakfast is awesome)

in Laconia, AYCE on Friday nights. I believe it is a fish fry.

Some of us are staying away from fried food, so Friday night appears to be fry night and it is a no go.

mcdude · 12-06-2013, 08:33 AM

Thursday nights at Ellacoya Barn and Grille
Prime rib for $14.95 - specials on other nights also...

North Main Street Bistro - Wolfeboro (I believe this is the old Restaurant location) $11 per person for a traditional New England dinner classic each Thursday.

Woodsy · 12-06-2013, 08:55 AM

I cant say enough good things about the Union Diner.... Rose & her crew ROCK! The food there is awesome!

This was our go-to Monday after golf meal. Nice setting, good friendly service, and wonderful burgers and hand cut French fries. Top it off with a pint, and it was a great meal, without even having to go out of our way. It was right on the way home.

joey2665 · 12-06-2013, 09:59 AM

We agree the Ellacoya Barn & Grill is a really nice place for a bite. Their Fries are the best!!!!

VitaBene · 12-06-2013, 09:05 PM

Great thread!!

Lakeboater · 12-07-2013, 04:49 PM

Ellacoya Barn and Grill $10 for a large pizza with up to four toppings on Tuesdays.

ghfromaltonbay · 12-07-2013, 10:23 PM

Although it's not fancy, the Lakeside in Gilford (across from the Walmart Plaza) has good home style cooking. Most of the entrees are under $10, and on Thurs. they have a boiled dinner. Their haddock nugget plate is only $7.25 and the turkey dinner is $9.95. They now serve wine and beer, and all the dinners include a free dish of ice cream for dessert. We've also enjoyed the pot roast, roast pork and their chicken salad at lunch time is some of the best around.

We do breakfast there, lunch there, or sometimes even supper there.

Same owners have the Cooking at the Circle down in Epsom, at what used to be Billy's.

If we go to Concord, we eat in Epsom, and if heading to Laconia or Gilford, we eat at the Lakeside.

There is a third restaurant on rte 106 in Loudon, in a strip mall on the left side of the road heading north, called the Eggshell, but they are only open til 2:30.

And also on Tuesday, they have a bottle of their wine of the day for half price...

patman · 12-11-2013, 03:40 PM

Rusty Moose at Alton circle...Tuesday nights is 2 for 15 entree night. Add a couple of beverages and that's about $25.

Not quite lakes region, and not quite $25, but...Thursday nights at Stonehurst Manor in North Conway they have a 2 for $29 menu.

pjard · 12-24-2013, 11:49 AM

My wife and I went to The Lobster Pound last night. We certainly busted the $25 threshold but you could easily eat for two there on Mondays for under $25. We had an appetizer, two entrees, a couple of drinks each and got a large cheese pizza to go for our son. The total bill for all that was $46! Great value for the money....just remember to tip based on what the full price would have been.

mcdude · 01-23-2014, 10:15 AM

According to today's edition of the Baysider, the Woodlands Tavern offers the following specials....which look like quite a value!

Gunstock pass holders get 15% off....everyday!

On Sunday buy one entrée and get the second for half off

Wed - 25% off food for ladies

Monday is Beef and Beer Night! Steak and Mushroom Pie $8.95
Bacon and Mushro0m Burger - $6.95
$1.00 off each pint of beer with purchase of an entrée

Happy Hour - 3-6 p.m. through March - 25% off total bill

whalebackpoint'r · 01-23-2014, 10:48 AM

George's Diner in Meredith. Prices are reasonable and you always get enough to take home for lunch the next day. Sort of a 2 for 1 deal.

Bumble2249 · 02-06-2014, 05:16 PM

Another great place to find deals for lakes region restaurants is Simply Direct. They send out a
mailer once a month and you can also go on their website and print it off. That's what I do.

Hey woodlandsgirl! You should advertise with the folks at simply direct! I get their mailer every month and it's great! My friends and I use it twice a month for our "couples night" out. Just a thought! It gets mailed all over the lakes region.
