Family Tree Restaurant: Another NEW breakfast/lunch option

Overlake97 · 10-14-2008, 07:12 AM

The Family Tree Restaurant (and Ice Cream Parlor, according to their sign) is a new place located about a half mile west of the mosquito bridge (the crosses Lake Winnisquam). It's in the building most recently occupied by two different bar/restaurants ("Zacks" then "Friends Tavern," if I'm remembering correctly). On the recommendation of a family member, I've now been there four times and the food is quite good. During my second visit, a friend I ran into said the people from Paulie's Diner in Tilton are "running the place." So far I've had one of their Benedicts and one of their scramble specials, both of which were very good; and twice ordered omelets, which were great. They also offer home fries topped with sauteed peppers, onions, etc. plus cheese (which my wife loved) and homemade donuts, at least on the weekend. Have not tried them for lunch, but maybe soon. On our last visit (Saturday AM), the parking lot was so full we almost couldn't find a spot.

I am so glad that the Family Tree has made it onto the forum. We have eaten breakfast there a few times and have also gone just for their ice cream.

If you had ever been to Zack's, you wouldn't recognize the place. It has been freshly painted, panelled and decorated; is imaculately clean, and the food is wonderful. If you are on the water, they have a few slips where you can park your boat.

We went for breakfast 2 weekends ago with a group of friends. Our group had three types of hash (prime-rib, red flannel and corned beef), along with waffles and eggs benedict. I think that they had a total of 4 different types of hash on the menu that morning. My husband was in heaven! He loves hash. Their breads are homemade and thick sliced. I watched several platters of French Toast go to the next table and promised myself that I would try that on my next visit.

The staff are very friendly and seem to be part of an extended family. I wish them the best and hope that they are around for a long time.
