Mame's in Meredith

Redwing · 11-17-2009, 02:20 PM

Here is the description of the "Nightmare" from Mame's luncheon menu:

Luncheon Nightmare - $11.50 “We have had this one for 30 yrs.”
Start with pumpernickel-rye swirl bread, add turkey, ham, broccoli, bacon, tomato, and mushrooms, topped with Swiss and baked in a cheese sauce en casserole.

Have always loved Mame's. Our son is getting married in Meredith this winter at Church Landing, and his rehearsal dinner/reception will be at Mame's the night before. They have always been true and steady.

Mames was a family favorite during the 80's. Then prices started going up and we no longer go there. I did go to breakfast at Mames a couple of years back when George's had a line out to the sidewalk. I boast to my friend that Mames use real maple syrup. When we ordered they were out of maple syrup and gave us the artificial stuff! So my friend went next door and bought some maple syrup. The waitress wasn't pleased and service was lousy after that. Never been back since.

My daughter lives in Brooklyn NY and she took me to a real Jewish deli. The rueben was opened face on Jewish rye, piled high with hot pastrami, saurkraut, horseradish sauce and a special cheese made with goat milk. The best I have tasted! My opinion is the horseradish sauce is much better than thousand island.

My daughters and my grandchildren always consider the Kraft Mac and Cheese, 'Yuckaroni'. Nor do they care for the 'gourmet mac and cheese' you find at the restuarants. The Kraft 'Deluxe' Mac and Cheese or the velveeta Mac and cheese is what they like.

I hope there are folks that have seen the making of pastrami on the Discover channel a few nights ago. It was very interesting as to how pastrami was made and why they make it that way. I won't go there.

Three other forum members and myself had dinner at Mame's last night. We had prime rib, orange chicken and pan seared scallops. The food was very good and so was the service.

I was involved in a wedding last summer and went to Mame's as it was being considered for the rehearsal dinner. They seated us upstairs. Not one of us liked their meal and that included a sister in law who is very slow not to give approval in times such as this. I seem to remember that we ordered off of a special menu that they had for dinners for wedding receptions so their regular food may be better. However, in the back of my mind, I had been there in the past and had not been tempted to return.

There ended up being a rehearsal luncheon at Canoe and a really wonderful "Welcome Party" for all on the Mount Washington. The Mount could have easily been the rehearsal dinner if you had not thought of that for a very unique site.

That said, we were invited to a brunch the morning after a Church Landing wedding last year where Mame's did the catering and the food was very good. So go figure.

The wedding that I was involved in was also at Church Landing. That is a great site. Hard to beat really.

The below is added in my edit...
Sorry. I forgot you are having a November wedding.............probably too late and too cold for the Mount Washington. They stop before that anyway. Good luck with whatever you choose. Weddings are such fun. Hope you enjoy it and best wishes to the future bride and groom. The Canoe rehearsal luncheon was quite lovely but don't know if they do rehearsal dinners.

...I had my wedding rehearsal dinner on the Mount Washington. The food is just okay (if you're looking for great, do not, by any means, go on the Mount for food).

But it was really cool for those of us who had never been on it. I've been going up to the lake for almost 40 years and never went myself (always thought it was too "touristy").

It helped that it was a beautiful night. We did the shorter cruise on Thursday evening (think it was 2 1/2 hours to Alton and back).

Just an idea. Something kind of different. All our guests thought it was a great, unique idea, and we all had a blast.

I think the cost was about $33 a person-something like $15 or $18 for the tickets and then you pay for the food when you get on board and they give everyone tickets who are eating.

Let us know what you decide to do and report back! And congrats on your son's wedding!!

I don't think Ship cruises after 10/31.

Talk to John at Mame's for your rehearsal event, which I assume might be treated a little different than orders off menu. I've been at many events Mame's has catered, and never heard people complaining.
