Any chance we can get a menu posted (or a link to it)? We try to get takeout at work on Fridays and, now that they are closer, we can't wait to try them

Some friends tried the breakfast buffet on Sunday and said it met with their approval -- so it appears they're off to a good (re)start...

Disney31 · 06-23-2008, 11:04 AM

I would love to see a menu. I can't find a website for them. We're heading up for a week in July for vacation and I'm making a list of restaurants for us to eat at.

The menu is a "temporary" one which will be added to. But it does contain the regulars...lobster rolls, seafood platters, subs, ribs, pulled pork, etc. I do not believe they are set up yet for pizza. We visited today as part of my food "research" and had the seafood platter; the Mrs., pulled pork. Just as good as ever, and that is pretty darned good!

Right you are Newbie (s) !...At noon today an almost full parking lot and a nice almost full dining room!!! Wow....I'd guess WP's is back...

The waitstaff was quick and efficient and my chicken salad sub was just like I remember from the bygone (next to Guilbicki's) era.....funny how that works. Don'tcha love it when a good plan comes together? The kitchen was buzzin...the dining room is spacious...all great expandable tables....and I even heard some unsolicited compliments from a table of first-timers.

Can't wait to take Mrs. HC out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.... or ALL Three! Wow! I can taste a Forum Fest coming on.....y'all come....hear?

I sure am glad that Waldo's is back. Now DRH and I can return to our favorite place for dinner on our anniversary. But PLEASE, Pepper, no strippers this time!

OK,hold on there QL.You not getting away with that comment without some feedback.Were not talking about bass here I assume?I always thought WP's was a family place.

. . . . where . . . . . ?

It is a great place for family and friends to meet and eat.

The story is part of the Babes On Sleds legend. The Babes and their boys gathered at Waldo's for a celebration of a milestone birthday for one of the Babes. We ate some great food, laughed a lot and had a wonderful time. There were presents and cake. A great time was had by all. As things were winding down, a couple of Laconia Police Officers walked in for dinner. The quietest one of the group piped up with "Oh, look . . . the strippers are here!" Well, we all broke out in laughter and rowdy remarks (not so loud that the Officers could hear). We could barely contain ourselves so we decide we had better leave before we got into real trouble. Pepper later explained our weird behavior to the Officers and it gave them a smile.

So that is the story, part of the Legend of the Babes On Sleds!!!!

With the "temporary" menu...has anyone got a hot buttered lobster roll yet?

I had the cold lobster roll on a toasted roll...does that count?

The lobster was generous with large pieces of meat. There was a little mayo and the roll was toasted and hot. All in all, it was fresh and well prepared. I tried the new seafood restaurant (Boston Seafood) and did not care for their lobster roll as much. I prefer the toasted roll and a base of lettuce for crunch and contrast. Just my opinion.

We were there yesterday, and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed. 2 of us ordered the hot lobster rolls and they came with no drawn butter. I asked the waitress and she brought the butter after a long wait. I was shocked at the first bite, the lobster was ice cold like straight out of the fridge. I hope this is just opening week wrinkles that will be straightened out. The 2 waitresses seemed to be under 16 and very nervous and tentative about serving.

We stopped by for supper tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed our first visit (as well as seeing Pepper again! Her hugs are as hearty as ever, and we had the pleasure of her company as we ate!

)

GH, I suspect that what you experienced was merely a shakedown glitch.

As Pepper was telling us, opening a new place means a new staff to be trained, a new kitchen to get used to, and a new routine to be established.

Yes, the wait staff is still maybe a little bit tentative (how not?), but boy were those kids hustling and eager to please!

The new place has all the good things from the old Waldo Peppers, and a nice new facility into the bargain - yeehah!
