Nice job, Mcdude...and as my waistline shows, I haven't missed many of the places you have shown. Good food is certainly plentiful here in the Alton, Gilford, Wolfeboro, New Durham side of the lake. Please come on Down!!!!

I know alot of people like Sandy Point. I went 2 years ago & have not been back. I had scallops that were very average. I've had better, they were a little chewy/tough.

The carpet was retro seventies & was soiled badly. It needed replacement. The swivel chairs were compressed foam to the frame covered with naugahyde vinyl. The walls were fake wood paneling, I thought that went out with the seventies.

As far as lobster, its pretty hard to screw up a boiled lobster. I've had boiled lobster at many restaurants & it never tastes any different. Boiled lobster is good any where you go.

I did have a great meal at The Dockside 4 weeks ago & breakfast/lunch is always great at the Olde Bay Diner.

I would agree with SIKSUKR that Shibleys can be a bit pricey but no more so than most places on the lake. The portions are ample though, especially the burgers. If you want value w/no frills then the Dockside is the place to go. Though I'm not a fish person, "Mee" and others have had the haddock sandwich on multiple occasions and have pronounced it both delicious and huge (I can attest to the latter).
