This is what I had on my first visit I clearly recall it as being the best i ever had ...and what I intended to get last Friday....until i was derailed by the customer in the next booth and Karen herself. Not to say i was disappointed that i got the fried seafood.
But don't take my word for any of it. Seriously, do yourself a favor and try this place out. We have visited a lot of places in the area...many of them are really fantastic. You've heard the term before, but I'll repeat it here...Karen and Barry's is a true gem in the lakes region.

When I get to rte 25 and rte 3 soing south, (which I do several times a week), would I go across and up Main Street the way I go to the Meredith Post Office? I honesly have never seen the restaurant in all the years so maybe they need to have an event of some kind or some ads or signs or an outdoor SOMETHING.

I am amazed that store and restaurant owners do not realize that people just do not know that they are there. In Center Harbor there is a bead shop and apparently an ice cream place in a small development that I pass on the way to the Center Harbor Post Office. I had never noticed either until a neighbor mentioned the bead shop and our Forum mentioned the ice cream shop!!! I wonder why there are not flags or signs that can easily be seen? I am driving a car afterall so have to watch the road. When I come back from the Center Harbor Post Office I do see Yikes as that is an area where one is slowing for the light and ahead and you see the sign! Heck we all want to support local businesses but to do that we do need to know that they are there!

Part of the problem may be due to the town/city's signage regulations. A lot of people have told us that they've never noticed us. We currently have our maximum signage allowance. Wish we could have more, but we can't.

First I want to thank all our customers that have written all the great things about us, makes myself and my wife feel good about what we are doing. We are located at 67 main street we are right across the street from the post office we have been in this location for 10 years. We advertise in the daily sun and in the weirs times. Well thank you again for all the great comments.

Are you able to put up a signs on the corners of the intersection of 25 and 3 with a special of some sort and hang some baloons or something? Do it on random days and start with a Saturday morning when people are coming up to the lake? Less locals get newspapers these days and vacationers coming to the lake may not get a newspaper either.

We are currently in the Weirs - you might be thinking about Summer Theatre in Meredith Village at Rts. 25 and 3! But to answer your question in general, technically even temporary signs need a permit! I just filled out the application and it wasn't fun!

Word of mouth is the best advertising anyway, right?!?!

And I'm sorry that I got off the topic!. Our family LOVES Karen and Barry's! We go there often. When my daughter way a toddler we went once a week in the off-season. It's harder now that we have so many evening and after school activities but it's still one of our favorite go-to places. If you end up having room at the end, Barry's chocolate cake is the best!
