George's Diner

Katy D · 07-18-2011, 01:43 PM

went to George's Diner Friday night, got the all you can eat fish, $13.99, you have a choice of starch and vegetable. The fish was really good, the batter light and the fish (flounder) fresh. Just beware limited menu on Friday nights, only items on menu besides seafood was a steak, chicken tenders, hamburgers and hot dogs. They actually have a huge squeeze bottle of tartar sauce on the table. The turkey dinner (Tuesday's night special) is also very good, enough for two meals.

Been to George's several times for breakfast, but never for dinner. Thanks for the heads up on the fish 'n chips - one of my favorites. Hope to try it on my vacation week.

Happy Gourmand · 07-19-2011, 07:29 AM

We spend many a Friday night dinner at George's, but last Friday night was especially good. In fact, I commented to my wife that the fish was probably the best we have ever had. Nice thick pieces of haddock...breaded and fried perfectly. They always do a great job, but we thought they were exceptionally good last Friday night.
Their breakfast is excellent too!

They across from the old country store?

It's in Meredith, right near Mills Falls...kind of diagonally across the street from the lower parking lot.

lake4life · 07-20-2011, 12:20 PM

I've patronized George's easily one hundred plus times, no exaggeration. They're always good for breakfast, and the Friday (now Sunday as well) fish fry is excellent. Roger, the owner, is a good guy and the waitstaff is always pleasant. One of the best bang-for-buck places I've been to anywhere.

If I had to say something negative about George's, it would be that breakfast on weekends (Summer, anyway) usually entails waiting for a table, and that the A/C is sometimes set to 'arctic'.

dpg · 07-21-2011, 05:47 AM

Wait a minute, Roger own Georges Diner???

Pontoon Goon · 07-23-2011, 09:57 AM

Monday night is all you can eat fried chicken. The first helping is enough to fill anyone and really good. Wait staff is always attentive and restaurant is clean.

camp guy · 07-23-2011, 10:19 AM

What really sold me on George's Diner is that the first time I took my then 5 year old granddaughter for lunch the waitress pulled up a chair and sat down at the end of our table and talked face-to-face with my granddaughter about what she wanted for lunch, rather than standing and imposingly looking down at her (rather scary when you are 5). I thought that little move by the waitress was an expression of EXCELLENT customer service. I wish I knew her name.

NoBozo · 10-01-2011, 11:22 AM

Based on the reviews on this forum, ..we went to George's for the first Three times this week for breakfast

. Took the 40 minute ride from Wolfeboro each time. Had the Breakfast Burrito the first two times and Sausage Benedict the last time. Totally Excellent. ..And.. the price for breakfast for two was $5 cheaper than an equivalent breakfast in Wolfeboro. OH Wait..there is no equivalent to George's in Wolfeboro.

NB

PS: We were actually looking for the Village Kitchen because it would be closer and was also well recommended. Couldn't find it so we asked a policeman in Meridith. Found it on the way back from George's after two passes up and down Rt 25 (Moultonboro) by a place called "Country Cookiing". The name Village Kitchen is actually at the very bottom of the Country Cooking sign... in very FINE PRINT.

NHBUOY · 10-01-2011, 11:40 AM

George's is consistently great. We go often.

NBR · 10-01-2011, 07:15 PM

The first time we went to Village Kitchenwe drove right past. Didn't see the correct sign until we returned and were in the parking lot!

jeffatsquam · 10-01-2011, 08:04 PM

How does it feel to drive by a place twice not be able to find it and when you do get there, There is a line out the door? JUST KIDDING.

But there has to be a yogisam in there some where

Newbiesaukee · 10-01-2011, 09:24 PM

Nobody goes to the V K anymore...you can't find it and there's always a line.

With apologies to Yogi and Samiam.

dpg · 10-03-2011, 05:59 AM

Totally agree about the sign if your not familiar "The Village Kitchen" is difficult to notice. Your eyes naturally see and read "Real Country Cooking" first.

That is too funny, we have been wanting to stop at the VK for years and could never find it, we are always riding around the lake on the bike and keeping an eye out for the VK for lunch and many many times I thought that maybe the Country Cookin' should be it but not the right name, so passed it by. happened again last week, but now I know. Thanks

Happy Gourmand · 10-03-2011, 12:33 PM

Isn't there also a "Country Cookin' " sign at the Lakeside (Formerly Waldo Pepper's) in Gilford?
I know it's the other side of the lake, but still seems close enough to cause some confusion about whether or not the owners are the same.

"country cookin" isn't the name of the place just a statement on the sign (in Moultonborough that is.) When I ask my wife if she wants to go to the Village Kitchen she looks at me with this blank stare like "where's that"?

For newbies to the area it certainly can be confusing! We confused the two country cooking places along with Kitchen Cravings (just having kitchen in the name was enough to confuse me!). We've finally tried all 3 places and learned they are certainly different and delicious in their own ways

Oh, and this posting finally helped me understand where the old Waldo Pepper's used to be! Very sad that we never got to try them because it sounds like it was delicious!

SIKSUKR · 10-07-2011, 07:20 AM

Ate breakfast at Country Cooking in Gilford last month and was very impressed.We were in a rush and mentioned that and we had our food in less than 5 minutes.All 4 meals were great.

NoBozo · 04-28-2013, 06:45 PM

Went there for breakfast Saturday morning 27 April, 2013. Had the breakfast Burito....as usual. Still WAY too much to eat. The Burito is really Light though. There's the Burito with a PILE of lettuce, Salsa, Sour Cream....and then.... the Platter of home frys on the side. Way too much for an old coot who may... get a "Reaction" due to Old Age (71).

Everything worked out..no reaction..Older folks probably know more about this than the younger folks who can EAT Anything without consequences.

Georges is THE BEST...Not just in the Lakes Region..I'm from Newport, RI. Nothing comparable to Georges down here.

But when on the Meredith side and looking for breakfast always Georges.

kchadw · 04-30-2013, 08:18 AM

Getting ready for our anually trek to the mtns. and lake region...just remarked to my wife yesterday..." it'll be nice to get back to a breakfast at Georges in Meredith...and lunch and dinner too...lol....staying closer to Meredith this year...so probably visit more often.

Looking forward to getting back to my former home state of N. H.

Right behind you all the way to Meredith> Had all the sun and surf I can take.

Slickcraft · 04-30-2013, 07:31 PM

George's has been a regular stop for years especially for lunch when on a bike ride.

It was very nice riding today and we hit George's just prior to noon. I had a hot pastrami with swiss on rye, my wife had a reuben with fries and we both had an ice tea. The grilled sandwiches were both way overdone with grease and the fries were soggy. The bill with tax came to $23.50, way over what the lunch was worth.

Sadly will look for another lunch stop in that area.

We often have lunch at the Lakeside with much better food and a more reasonable price.

kchadw · 05-01-2013, 08:32 AM

Hey Sunbeam,

I think there are a few more from Fl. heading for the lakes and mtn. region about now too....Gee, we should all meet at George's during the summa...

Have a safe trip....we're leaving on or about the 11th with stops in W. Va. and Ma. before heading for the Thornton area.. I drive the bus at the zip line in Lincoln on the Kanc., one day a week usually on Sat. If you, ( or anyone else ) are up that way...say hello...
