The Bob House (formerly Grille 25)

Well, I finally tried "The Bob House" tonight.

So a long lost friend of mine and I wanted to meet up after almost 20 years of not seeing each other. He was in Ossipee with his family and I was in Meredith. I was wracking my brain for a place that was somewhat halfway between us. "The Bobhouse" was the name that popped into my head. So I suggested it and the 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children decided to meet there.

I have to say I really enjoyed it. The hostess sat us in what amounted to a private room, really a little alcove but it was perfect. The 4 little ones were so excited because we had our own little area. FYI for all of you parents this restaurant is actually VERY kid friendly. Plenty of coloring books, games, toys, cards, etc. I was very impressed.

The service was not the fastest I have ever had but the attitude of the servers made up for it. They were friendly and accurate. Accuracy more than makes up for speed IMO.

Food was good. The Tackle Box Seafood platter that my wife and I had was awesome. The Prime Rib my friend had looked good and the kids meals all were great.

All in all a very good impression. The bar scene looked like it was thriving. I will DEFINITELY be putting this place on the list of Snowmobile stops.

Bottom line: Try it you'll like it.

Positives: Good Food, Good Atmosphere, Good Staff Attitude, Good Prices

Negatives: Somewhat slow-ish service
