Missed you Pops ,it's been a long winter and Newick's or Peteys is a long drive for a fix.

Thank You.
We look forward to seeing you! I didn't think spring/summer would ever get here this year.

and we were there at lunch. We had a half and half of Scallops and Whole Clams, FF, and Cole Slaw, and a small onion ring. Some would say good as always...I say Great!!! as always. Even got to speak to Pops for a few minutes afterwards. Always a pleasure there as well. Thanks Pops.

Here's a picture of the tray-full as we sat on the upper deck to eat.

It is on Rte 11 in Alton Bay, opposite the Alton Bay Community Center (the old Railroad Station). It is usually open from early May, like today

, to Labor Day weekend

.

If you are coming from Laconia, as you pass the Mt. Washington dock, put on your right directional.

Or come by boat, dock at the Alton Public Docks and take a right off the docks to the far end of the parking lot. Can't miss it. Nothing better than Pop's food eaten on the boat tied up at the docks.

Mmmmmm good.

Pop's Clam Shell is great!

We disagree with you Upthesaukee, on a nice night with calm winds, boat away from the docks and enjoy the meal while floating on the lake!

Knowing the portion size at Pop's, two single plates was not going to happen, especially getting onion rings. Soooooooo...

My wife wanted the scallops, and I wanted whole clams. Answer, a half and half plate, with ample French fries for two, and cole slaw. Add in a small (yes, that is a small order of rings) onion ring, and more than enough for two. And they toss the food on a flat griddle to take off any excess cooking oil. Nice and dry on the outside, and totally delicious on the inside.

Had my first baby shrimp plate of the season last night at Pop's. You're right, Uppie, one plate is enough for 2 or even 3. I counted 65 shrimp, plenty of fries and enough slaw to fill a 1 lb. deli container. I will be enjoying a 2nd supper with the leftovers. I've found it reheats nicely in the toaster oven.

Argie's Wife · 05-04-2014, 07:44 PM

Took Argie to Pop's for his b-day... he order the lobster roll, the Arglets ordered kids' dinners (chicken fingers and fish), and I ordered fish with a side of onion rings to share with the gang. Everything was delish - it was way too much food! - but the fish was so light and the rings were to die for. It was an excellent casual meal.

Do you take a left out of the Gilford Walmart and continue past the airport? Is Pops straight ahead if you continue on that road?

Island Girl · 05-05-2014, 08:00 AM

Pops is in Alton Bay. Stay on 11, the road to which you refer. It is on the right.. Across the street from the information building. If you see a Chinese restaurant you went too far.

My wife and I split a plate; still almost too much. Good stuff!! Can't wait to have some more this season.

Oh my gosh, those rings look to-die-for -- my fave kind, with the batter fried just right, golden and flaking off the rings......... none of that breaded nonsense for me!
