Kevin's Cafe

First thing I thought when I looked at the pic was that the Fries looked a little funky. A bit too brown and dry looking for my liking however everything else looks awesome.

I hate to ask... but what's good about "wet" fries?

For the all you can eat lobster and prime rib with a group of friends. Kevins will be one of my first stops next year for sure. One comment from someone in all of these reviews is OK. I cannot wait to go to Kevis for sure.

It is impossible to determine if the fries are wet in that picture. I wasn't aware that you were supposedto eat them, I thought it was just Kevin's way of serving the AYCE clams on a bed of fries.

who'd eat fries anyway when there's more clams to be had!

made it back to the lake for the summer. We went to Kevin's last night for dinner. Wife had lobster and i had the fried clams( all you can eat on friday's). We both loved our food and great service from Meredith Lady and Kevin.

VitaBene · 05-29-2010, 06:33 AM

We love kevin's- have they re-opened at the Weirs Pier yet?

Meredith lady · 05-29-2010, 07:51 AM

Phoenix-the pleasure was ours! Welcome back to New Hampshire! Kevin's on the Pier is open and we look forward to seeing all of our Forum friends. Stop by to say hi if you are in the Weirs!

nightrider · 07-20-2010, 07:50 PM

The wife took me to Kevin's last Friday for my birthday. I had the AYCE clams. They were fantastic. After hearing the birthday lady at the table next to us say the original plate portion was all she could eat, I ate the plate AND 3 reloads. Delicious and very reasonably priced. Question....can one get there by sled? I'd love to try the clams some Friday night from the sled. BTW...the room on the left is preferred.

Happy Gourmand · 08-03-2010, 12:57 PM

Wife got the crab cakes...they are everything everybody talks about...I got the fried scallops...tender, juice and delicious...and plenty of them! I have to say though that the fries were not good at all...seemed like they were reheated....tough and what I call leathery.
Now the service..... The waiter was Kevin's son....what a nice young gentleman...very personable. BUT, the service he provided was horrible. long waits between everything, he was very inattentive. We waited forever after we were done for him to come out from wherever he was "hiding" and we had to ask for the check. I actually asked him to not take so long to process my payment.
Kevin, if you read this...the food was excellent as always ( except for the fries) and your son is a really nice kid. If he was filling in in an emergency, then disregard my negative comments. But if you plan to use him on a regular basis, please let him train under some of your more experienced staff.
P.S. I'll be calling to make a reservation for this Friday night...my daughter is here from FL and is dieing for some great fried clams!

Marko · 08-03-2010, 06:30 PM

we were at the Weirs all last week and tried out a lot of places and would have tried Kevins....
especially after all the great raves on here.......
but there wasn't a dining room? or did we miss it........as we couldn't see one?
didn't see any signs either where to sit and enjoy your meals........
wish someone would have posted that there wasn't a dining room and that Kevins was a take out place......
and I don't really count the seats on the boardwalk there with a zillion people walking by a good place to enjoy a meal......

Marco, it sounds like you found "Kevin's on the Pier" which is a second, seasonal-only location. Kevin's Cafe is actually in Centre Harbor, and indeed has a dining room. Sorry you didn't find the one you were really seeking - you missed a really great place.

Winnipesaukee · 08-11-2010, 01:16 AM

He was also the Executive Chef at Charley's Crab in Fort Lauderdale. I've been there a bunch of times, I assume when he was there, and it has been incredible. This guy has some talent.

It's in Moultonborough. And we are glad to have him

Eek! Further proof that I am geographically challenged...

Thanks for clarifying!

Went to Kevin's Cafe Friday night for the all-you-can eat clams. Just the best. Got to meet Meredith Lady and her son Ryan. Both have a great sense of humor and made us feel at home. Didn't have a chance to talk too long with both as Kevin's was busy that night. My sister and brother-in-law are going tonite for the end of the month lobster fest. I can't go 'cause I'm back in hot, hot Texas.

Newcomers · 12-11-2010, 04:03 PM

Been to Kevin's Cafe several times and always had a good meal. My wife likes the lobster and I go for the clams. Service is friendly and excellent. I was later surprised to see Kevin catering the local Men's Club monthly breakfast that starts at 7 AM - he serves a great breakfast too!
I am happy to support a local business that works hard and treats people right ! Here's to you Kevin!

Lakesrider · 12-14-2010, 09:22 AM

Been living up here for 6 years now. Never been. I'd like to try it but it seems he is mainly a Seafood place. My wife loves seafood. Me not so much.....

Maybe I'll take the wife for a dinner, and I'll just watch.

Why no chicken, or pasta at least?

Nagigator · 12-14-2010, 10:05 AM

Go for lunch, Kevin makes a good burger, Ruebens, and a great turkey club, chicken salad wrap, too. Don't forget the onion rings!
