The Tamarack

[Shore Driver]

I was there last week (also pre-"Ted" LOL), and was impressed with the food. Chicken chunks were especially juicy and meaty. Clams strips were tasty.

I do think fries are their weak spot and an kind of an afterthought.

Sad, Tamarack used to be an awesome place in a former life. We quit going a few yrs ago and haven' t been back.

I too was at Tamarack today for the first (and last) time in a few years.
I spent $60.00 + for a small lunch for 3 adults and 2 small children. 2 hot dogs for the kids ICE COLD centers, we brought them back and got them replaced, by the time we got to our hamburgers that were virtually RAW in the middle, one bite each and in the trash. We all decided never again!

It's such a shame this place for many years was a "must have" in the lakes.

Count me as another never return vote.

I stopped here today with a craving for fried clams. I must say I was very pleased with the quality of the food. Service was great, food was cooked to perfection,not greasy and very tasty. Prices are right in check with pops, sawyers etc. I will definitly be back again!

So I drive by today and see there sign by the road that said "crab roll with fries $8.99" so I go up the road and turn around.. Sounds like a deal to me!

I get to the window and order and the girl says " oh, we don't have that special anymore" so I asked, how much is just a crab roll then? She replies "oh we don't have crab"??!!!?? What? Ok.... She says " we have lobster rolls"
I said no thanks and left... Here's a thought, how bout taking 30 seconds out of your not so busy day and changing the sign!!!
Haven't stopped here for a while, well think this is the last. What a joke! No wonder they don't do any business....

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

There was a time when I would go to Tammerac at least twice a year for lobster rolls I now just drive by haven't gone in several years based on the reviews

We drove past the Tammerac about 7:00 PM Friday night, prime time, and there were no cars in the parking lot. We thought at first they were closed but all the lights were on and we could see the workers inside. We remembered when this was the place to stop for a lobster roll or fresh seafood. It is a shame they let the quality of their food and service side.

I remember on Friday nights the waiting line would be out to the street.

Same here and I live very close to there. It would be convenient, but just not worth the high prices and the crappy food. So sad - they were a staple for decades for me and my family.

The Tamarack used to be great, especially for lobster rolls and onion rings, but we stopped going there several years ago because of the decline in quality (food and service) and it seems to be circling the drain as they say. The new owner of Sawyers in Gilford has improved what was already a pretty fine experience and their lobster rolls and fried foods are hard to beat. Sawyers also now takes credit cards. But if you are near Alton Bay and have cash in hand (no credit cards), Pops is also outstanding.
