KTO...just realized your post was meant to be humorous. Good one!
I feel quite foolish that I actually read it, and took it seriously.
Dunse cap on me today.

Now you must be kidding. Satire just doesn't seem to work well on the Internet.

Unless you are continuing with the bad humor.

Always had a good lunch there. It's not 5 star dining, but it's always very good. Service and food has always been good.

I tried to fix that by adding the smiley face at the end :P

I should learn to read. I did get KTO's humorous post,
but I thought that SA was referring to the original poster's comment as being in jest.

Hand over the dunce cap.

On Sunday I took my family to the Town Dock for lunch. I know that its not the best food around the lake but I have to say that on that day we had the worst meal all summer. I can go on to give the details but its not worth it. I didnt complain to the manager but I now wish I had. Eight of us had crummy meals and after the $150 bill I think the Management should know. I will give it another chance next year because it is a great spot and a good boating destination. Our waitress was very polite but they need top do better with the quality of food.

$150 for eight people does not get you a gourmet meal. The Town Docks are what they are. Okay food at a good price. Sometimes better than okay, but most times just okay or a bit less than that. My last meal there sucked too, but after seeing what I paid for it I knew why. It remains a good boating destination as you said, just not a place to bring guests. Take them over to Wolfboro or down to Alton. Better choices in those directions, but expect to pay more. I'll keep going back to Town Docks, but I'm addicted to the Frappes.

We were there on this past Fri. We took friends over to Meredith by boat. They had been to Town Docks before by car, but never by boat. We had an appetizer, lunch and a few drinks and a lot of good conversation. As others have said, food was good, not great, but we weren't expecting Lagos or Church Landing. It was more about sitting in the outdoors at a beach bar, with nice music that wasn't so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you, good service, and good food. Our friends picked up the tab, and I know it was over $100 with tip.

Sorry that your experience wasn't as good, Bobio. Have a good fall and winter.

It is what it is. I enjoyed my trip there this season. I thought the onion rings were good....

The only thing missing at the Town Dox

It's too bad that we have all settled for mediocracy. And at that it's giving them an upgrade.

How is it? Thinking of going there with visiting friends with their 7 & 5 yrs olds...

It is a great place for kids; they can look at all the different boats and people "attempting" to dock. It's a lot of fun and good food.... very relaxed atmosphere.

Afterwards, go out to the front and get ice cream; you can then walk along the docks and park area to "burn it off"..... our kids are late teens and college bound now; we've been doing it since they were little and the Town Docks opened in 1999 or so.
