Best way to stay healthy in N.H. is walking off all this rich restaurant food. Go for a long walk, maybe two miles including any steep hills ..... walking-walking-walking.

Central N.H. does not have too many sidewalks but there's still places to go for a long walk.

Want to go advanced with the exercise ........ buy a $65 weighted 5-lb knobby hoola- hoop made by Health Hoops-Korea and start hoola-hooping ....... ....... to work off that rich restaurant food.

Old State School in Laconia is one of out favorite walks….kind of spooky with the old buildings and a mile or so of trails in the woods and some easy hills

Everyone should be intitled to live their own life the way they see fit.
Personally, I try to eat healthy but having a prime rib once a month just feels right, just had my monthly fix last night at the Lochmere golf club restaurant.

Default 3rd and done

Phoenix wanted reviews, so I ended my couple years off from posting - this is review #3 tonight.

3x tries to Alamo - and we're done. They just arent good compared to what's out there,

I'll skip the negatives (though I will say brisket that's > 50% fat is not cool, and poppers should be at least somehwat hot). FB is rife with the downsides of this place. The lack of presence of cars tells you all you need to know. Winter will not be kind I think.

I'll go right to the recommendations. The two places on 104 are better, much much better. Rubbin Butts is a bit better too.

Wanna drive to Rochester instead? I would do so, as Mr. Sippy is 1000% better. 1.5x the portion at about half the price. And 250% better tasting for BBQ and sides. They are a super-friendly place to boot. We'll drive 40 minutes every time to not be disappointed and treated like we belonged there.

If you care they are Phantom gourmet blessed -

I really do wish the best for Alamo as it would be great to have a local BBQ place, but as it stands we'll be taking a drive to somewhere else.

i Agree with Bigstan. When the traveling Texas Smoke shop is closed, I will go the distance to Concord and try 603 BBQ.

603 BBQ is all the rage right now, but I'm not feeling it. Three meats for $45, and not including ribs, is criminal.

I got the two meat on a reasonably busy day and was horrified at the portion for the price. Also, everything is spicy, including the mac and cheese, which I'm not jazzed about. Add to that the seating limitations on even remotely busy days (need to go next door or outside if the few picnic tables are full), and we won't be going back.

That said, it sounds like Alamo is falling apart in both locations. I'll stick to Smokehaus, KC's, Yankee Smokehouse, etc.

Default Brunch

Does anyone have a copy of their brunch menu? And any idea how much the Bloody Mary bar is?
