Dockside Restaurant Alton Bay

Good food, good service, a short but very good menu. Great soups, good specials, a place worth the trip to eat. Somewhat limited parking during their busiest times, but this time of year on street parking towards gillen Marine is usually available. by boat, about a 5-7 minute walk from the town docks, past the busy corner store, over the bridge and on the east side of Rte 28A & Rte 11 intersection.

the clam chowder is wonderful. the place has been around forever. Formerly called the "Mary Jane" and the "Myrtle Anne".

I have to say that I think they should beef up their house salad a bit...very small and not the freshest always and when i asked for a veggie instead of potatoe I was told no. That was disappointing..although i have no complaint about the service or entree quality.

I would agree w/McDude, nothing fancy but the food is good. I've had the sirloin ($13.99) and it was fine. Others have had, on multiple occasions, the haddock sandwich and rated it very highly. It was huge and I'm told, fresh and cooked perfectly.

It's a great place to go by snowmobile. The hot soup, sandwich and cocoa (or beer) is the pause that refreshes. There is plenty of sled parking just across the street.
