Lakeside Famous Roast Beef, Pizza, Salads, Subs and Seafood
What a name...Not sure what its famous for though?
I love a good roast beef sandwich on an onion roll- sauce, cheese mayo. To get one here in the seacoast you have to go to Durham, Greenland or Portsmouth. Surprisingly nobody in Dover has one. I had a killer one at JP's in Durham the other day. The wife was out last night so the kids and I decided to take a ride over and try this place out. It has been on my hit list since we moved to Gilford. I must say we were pretty let down. My roll tasted like a stale, toasted roll and there wasn't much on it. Very dry. We had 2 pizzas. I like a thin crust but there was something off with theirs. And again very dry, hardly any sauce and zero flavor. My sons steak bomb didn't look bad, I did not try it. He will eat anything so I didn't get an honest opinion. I am not going to write them off 100% yet, but after my first pass I am not rushing back. I find that every place has their strengths and weaknesses, did we just choose poorly off the menu or is everything similar? |

There’s something in the name
I found it interesting when they opened up about 10 years ago and chose the name because they hadn’t even sold the first roast beef sandwich yet.
Jon’s has certainly earned a great reputation. When it comes to a steak bomb the one across the street at D’Angelo‘s, South End Seafood and Pizza and then Winnisquam market are all quick to come to my mind. |

Ever try South End pizza? Pretty decent and huge steak bomb! |
Why call a "cheese steak" a "steak bomb?"

Pricing is out of site
Went to D'Angelo's during the late summer. A small Steak and Cheese with a bottled drink was over $20.00. I understand food and labor costs are rising but that is almost double what others are charging, I'll pass on them in the future.

Drove by Likeside Famous Roast Beef today and noticed that the sign has changed. They dropped the word “famous”. Quite an interesting marketing approach. Call yourself famous at first and then a decade later drop the association. Hmmm?
D’Angelos is a subsidiary of Papa Ginos’s. They too have had a very significant price increase. About a year ago I enjoyed a double cheese burger there for about $8.50. 6 months ago about $10.50, 3 months ago $12.50, a week ago $14.50. It’s actually in line with reality. A year ago the could pay the eatery level help $8.50 while today they have to pay $16 to compete with McDonalds. So much for $7.25 minimum wage and a value meal. |
Is somewhat similar to a restaurant, Market Basket in Plymouth, NH has what I suppose is called a food court with table booths and counters with seating for about 40-people, two large clean rest rooms for employees and customers and another large sink for washing your hands out on the condiments counter with a sign that says "For Washing Hands-Only", and an overhead tv screen tuned into a soap opera channel, all located at the front of the store with large windows overlooking the parking lot, outdoors.
A large sign in the middle of the entrance to the food court area says: "Please... No Unpaid Merchandise Beyond this Point - Thank You". $5.29 +8.5% NH prepared food tax ....... choice of large roast beef, Italian, ham, American, turkey, or ultimate ...... http://www.shopmarketbasket.com/mark...n-takeout-menu ...... a large sub, and excellent quality ....... thanks to the associates at Market Basket, Plymouth NH...... :patriot: ...... who make it a very happening $5.74, (.45-tax) submarine sandwich. If you are really THRIFTY and don't like to spend too much but still want to eat VERY WELL ....... this is a good place to go. ..... the food court at Market Basket in Plymouth, NH! ..... high quality-low price ..... :cool: ..... when compared to local restaurants. |

In terms of D'Angelo, they did what every chain does: they came into the market and crushed it, serving awesome portions and unique combinations, and then, once solidified in the market, began cutting back. Quiznos, Carrabba's, The Outback, TGI Fridays, The Ground Round, Red Lobster, Weathervane...the list goes on and on and line up with Home Depot (remember when you could find actual experts on the floor to help?!), Walmart, etc. etc. I remember the meatball and sausage sub at D'Angelo in Nashua, one of (the?) the first locations to open, and how we would hit that and the Pheasant Lane Mall up rather than stay in town for mom-and-pops. Then one day the dream was over. Quiznos did exactly the same thing twenty years later. Now if Applebee's would just go away... Sent from my SM-G990U1 using Tapatalk |

When I moved to Manchester to go to college, I ordered a steak bomb at Nadeau’s Sub Shop. I brought it back to the counter and told them it was missing salami. They had never heard about putting salami on a steak bomb, but from that point forward they did. They also asked if I wanted mayonnaise on it….No thank you! Apparently that’s some kind of a Manchester thing, but I never tried it. |

There was a place growing up in Exeter names Romeo's (just checked, they are still there). They were your typical local townie pizza joint. They added diced tomatoes on top of theirs and a dash of black pepper. Pretty good! Now for a twist, I get chicken parmesan subs and add cooked pepperoni! |
Always had great food and service at Lakeside.
The steak tip sub is the best around! |
Jon’s
Based on the rave review in an earlier post on this thread, we tried Jon’s roast beef in laconia for the first time. Our sandwich was outstanding- we had the special roast beef on an onion roll and it was delicious. We will definitely be back. We thought the value was very good too. We mentioned that it was our first time and the owner could not have been more gracious. I highly recommend that you check them out.

Sad to say, Kelly’s isn’t what it used to be Taz, even the original one.

Harrison’s is the same now as in the 90’s, very good.

The beef at Jon's was overcooked and the sauce was sweet instead of the tangy James River sauce that most places use, which I prefer. |

From a NH perspective, find Smoking Guns food truck generally in Ossipee somewhere on Rt 16. Gary has a strong 3-way (sauce, cheese, mayo) that can hang with most of the north shore places I mentioned above :) |

I’ve been to Bella’s a few times. The new Londi’s is pretty good too.

Are there any Chicago-style Italian beef places in the lakes region?
