What a great time!
Kitchen Cravings: Very interesting decor. Ordered the hash, which was not what I expected: little of no melding between the chunks of meat and potato.

Glad you and your family had a good trip Mr. V!
I love the Kitchen Craving hash, but agree that there isn't enough potato. I always get a side of hash and a side of potato only and fix the ration myself.
Good left-overs because I cannot eat it all.
Leave your diet at the door, because there is nothing low-fat about the brisket hash.

Disappointing: greasy, tasteless, somewhat rubbery.
Maybe that is just the way they always are?

No, that doesn't sound normal at all. We've never had anything, but excellent luck with the fried seafood at Pop's Clam Shell.
Sorry your dining experience was less than stellar.
Next time you should try
Kevin's Cafe and their all you can eat fried clams!

We stopped in on Friday, October 2nd (2009) after a fun day of leaf peeping.
They were fantastic! Among the best I've ever had!!!
I even managed to snap a picture for you before I dove in. 
This was the first helping! As you can imagine, there were no seconds for me! They are exactly as ILoveWinnipesaukee and others describe.
Rattlesnake Guy had the chowder, which he said was wonderful. He also got the calamari, and a Caesar salad with chicken.
All items were excellent and the rolls... they were out of this world!
Our server was our Forum friend, Meredith Lady. Laura was awesome as usual and is a real asset to Kevin's Cafe.
Kevin also made the rounds the night we were in to check on his patrons. He is a very personable man and knows how to treat his customers.
There was only one thing regarding our meal, in my opinion that could use improvement - the French fries. The few that you see peeking out from under the clams were not on par with the rest of this excellent meal. I didn’t say anything at the time because I was just enjoying my delicious clams and couldn’t fit them if I tried.
The French fries that Laura made for us this summer on several occasions at the Pier were incredible. Kevin should find out what she did and always do it!  Her fries were golden in color, light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the out - fantastically delicious!  I think she should train the whole staff because she is the French Fry Master! |
Of late I am absolutely hooked on the crab cake sandwich at Kevin's Cafe at the Pier. Talk about heaven!

Maybe it is because living out West I have greater exposure to Mexican food, but the food here was not all that good, frankly.
Not bad, just not all that tasty.

The build your own chimichanga at the Gringo is what I have been hooked on from the start - love the chicken, mushroom and spinach with cheese. A little pricey though when we have all the kiddos in tow.

All in all, a great trip: I grew a belt size (back to the gym ...)
You people have a gem in Winnipesaukee.

We've only been to the William Tell for dinner and cannot get past the Wiener Schnitzel. They do a fine job with it.
