Circle K and Irving are Franchises.... Common Man is owner operator.... Or rather Granite State Hospitality is owner operator of the Franchises.

That could be true, I didn't think of that.

went to the town docks for dinner a couple nights ago. i think this was our 6th or 7th time there, and for me it will be the last. the food was terrible. i ordered the grilled fish tacos and had to send them back. they were swimming in liquid. the tortillas were sopping wet, gross. they were pleasant about it and offered to bring me something else so i just got a burger. the burger was ok flavor wise, but it too was swimming, this time in grease. i ate about half of it and that was all i could do. i've given that place enough chances and i've never had a good meal there so that's it for me. great atmosphere, nice staff, but their food just isn't good and they're too overpriced. tourist trap.

Yup. We've not gone there at all this season. Problem is, too many people either don't care or don't see a problem, so I don't see change coming anytime soon.

I've never been but I am guessing I never will.

That's too bad. I've been a couple times this summer. I had the fish tacos once and loved it. When the weather's nice I can't think of another casual place with a water view I'd rather be(beside Lakeside Deli for lunch) to hang out, have dinner, listen to music and watch the boats. Love to top it all off with a raspberry cheesecake ice cream. My family loves it. My only wish is to bring back the lobster corn chowder! For $12 fish tacos, they exceeded my expectations. if they didn't we're still going back.

You have to take it for what it is. Awesome atmosphere, ice cream and drinks. As far as food goes some items are really good others ok but I don't go there for a gourmet meal. It's all about relaxing and fun with one of the best views of the lake.

Perfect? No but our go to for good food and drink outside!

I laughed when I read this. I think we were the same the night and, from the sounds of it, had the same fish tacos. They were definitely not up to common man standards. My wife has ordered them previously there and said they are usually much better.

However, we're considering it a one off and will happily return. We go there frequently. Cannot beat the proximity to the docks, atmosphere, view, music, and the food/drink is usually pretty good in our opinion.

We have been several times. A great place to have a drink. The food is the pits. The owners know atmosphere sells so they serve very, very sub par food. We won't be back anytime soon.

Agreed the atmosphere and the drinks are good - food is just OK. We go for a light lunch or a snack or someplace just to hang out
