How about the Crazy Gringo in the Weirs? Fantastic home made salsa and huge servings!

Huge Crazy Gringo fan here. Regular stop, before heading thru the channel, to put the boat away in Paugus Bay.
However, can be a culture shock, if you've never been. Very much a Harley bar. But great people. Great drink. Very good food.

WE need a really good pure steakhouse. Just my opinion while most restaurants serve steaks, I miss the attention that goes into a "steakhouse".

O Steak and Seafood in Lakeport is the closest to a "real" steakhouse up here.

Now when you say steak house do you mean Outback, Lonestar, Texas Roadhouse or are we talking Ruth Chris's, Morton's, Smith and Wollensky?

We have the former chains nearby and it would be nice to have one near the lake.

The more upscale places could never survive. Not enough people willing to spend that kind of money.

Wouldn't need to be a Morton's, etc. Just open another location of Manchester's Hanover Street Chop House. This is as good as any Morton's I've been to. (Maybe just 1/2 notch below Ruth's Chris, but it's very close)

Deli/convenience store at Glendale again!

That Chinese food plaza in the Gilford strip mall isn't bad, but I'd like to see a real Japanese restaurant somewhere up here.

And I'm still trying to get the guys from Flatbread Pizza to open up in the Lakes Region...but I'm not holding my breath.

Cheesecake Factory - I think that it would do quite well
