Dockside
Four of us went by boat to the Dockside restaurant in Alton Bay last night. Food was fantastic and portions were big! Service was also excellent! We were entertained by a fantastic guitar player, Tim Theriault.
It was a beautiful, calm, full moon boat ride home to Welch Island! We will definitely return! Kudos to the Dockside! Dan

Alton Public docks
Dock at the Alton Public Docks and then walk over to the Dockside restaurant. About a 5 minute walk or so.
Bonus: Stop at Stillwell's for ice cream on the way back to the boat. Dave

Walking, as in using one's feet to go somewhere.
Is that still done? |

We've been a few times this year! It's very good, and they have had some good music on a Friday night also.

Friends! You probs all know how big a fan of Pop's I am, well today we had occasion to drive to south Wolfeboro and, in looking for a new restaurant to grab lunch, decided on Dockside.
It. Was. AWESOME. The best fried seafood I've had in a very, very long time—maybe ever. My kids' mozzarella sticks and my wife's burger were also highly rated. I'm so glad we gave this a shot—next time y'all are around, give it a go! Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

We ate there last Sunday night and thought it was really pretty good. The bill was very reasonable. We'll go back

In general restaurant prices will have to increase. There is a shortage of help so wages will have to increase in order to attract good workers and the cost of supplies has gone up. |

I'm expecting prices to increase a bit, but that's 30%. Pop's seafood plate looks like it's the same or less than a dollar increase over last year. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

Compare items...
If you look at the new menu you'll see they added RI clam cakes to the Live Free or Fry meal. I'm sure this accounts for some of the prices increase.

Prices are going up everywhere, and businesses have no choice but to pass it along.
I seriously doubt there will be any slow down in inflation for a while. Politics and fear and draconian responses to the pandemic have created countless problems. I recently saw 2 x 4 selling for just under $10, when the last one I bought was $2.77. Gasoline went up 80 cents in 2 months and is still climbing. So this all must impact the food industry. |

BTW, we don't consider the Dockside as competition to Pop's. If you want fried clams around here you go to Pop's. The Dockside is sit down and be waited on for a nice meal and a craft beer. |

In all honesty, last time I thought "gee, I'm kinda too full to eat those things..." and then ate one. They're both sit-down for me, one while stopping at the docks for lunch, the other for when we drive around the lake. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

Perish the thought. No, just kick up your cooking game a bit and eat at home. Try something new just to keep things interesting.

Used to love the menu, food and service at old Dockside.
New Dockside looks much better, but that’s where it ends. Menu is different, portion sizes are much smaller for $$$ and service sucks. Plenty of better places to eat, I done with them!!! |

I'm sorry to report that I think I'm done with Dockside. I posted some time ago about a bum experience with my brother and, since then, I've been back three times. Two were for lunch and ok, but tonight's dinner was very average. The Live Free or Fry used to blow me away, but it's very much lost its luster and, for $34, it no longer works. The next step down—pick two at $24—sounds reasonable, but for a couple bucks more (overall less when calculating tip), I'll go to Pop's for the extra two additions.
I liked having a sit-down/interior alternative to Pop's, but I'll be looking elsewhere for that. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

^ Still this. Gave it another try today, just over a year later.
$39 for the Live Free or Fry, which no longer comes with crab cakes. 3 scallops, 3 medium shrimp, 3 haddock pieces, and a few small belly clams. Sad face. * Edited to add: my friends got the haddock sandwich, which was still solid. Sent from my SM-G990U1 using Tapatalk |

Think, u need to tell them that you're writing a column for some media outlet. Bet you get better service and all the clam cakes you can eat!

The service was very slow, but I'm totally cool with that—I feel the same about eating out as I do about boating: I'm there to chill. Lackluster food/value, though? That's no bueno. Sent from my SM-G990U1 using Tapatalk |

Went there twice for dinner this yet. Both nights were slow, and service was even slower. Food was terrible. Two strikes and they r out. Never going back, new owners suck. Don’t waste your money there!!!

This is why I hate the restaurant review forum on this site! Anyone with a grudge can literally try and ruin the business of hard working people! I have never and will never give a restaurant a bad review here or on any other public forum as food and service is so individually personalized. If I don’t like a place I simply won’t go back…no need to go on public forum and try to ruin them…that is just mean spirited in my opinion especially during these trying times…. Dan
