Randy's Pit Stop Diner — Restaurant in Laconia

I want to love this place so badly. It’s a cute little hole in the wall with a great atmosphere.

We were sat quickly and brought coffee (the coffee is delicious, by the way). However, things went quickly downhill. We placed our order, and then waited. And waited. And waited. I don’t think I’m the kind of person who’s high maintenance, but at a certain point it becomes ridiculous. We waited over a hour for our food. Other tables came in, were served, and left, before our food came (we were a table of 3). The waitress was snotty and rude, and not once acknowledged that we watched the entire place turn over before we got our food.

The scrambled eggs and pancake were good. The fried potatoes were delicious. The El Camino was good too. However, the hash was… gross, to say the least. It was lukewarm, and the hash was unseasoned, grizzly, quarter-sized chunks of beef and barely cooked potatoes. And then the bill came… $70 for mediocre diner food.

Again, I want to love this place. I love supporting local small businesses, and I’m a sucker for greasy diner food. But not when it’s so expensive and you have to wait so long to get it. Unfortunately can’t recommend the place, because the bad highly...

Went there with my husband because we saw the great reviews and wanted to try something new. I was very disappointed by the end. The food was decent, but my favorite (corn beef hash) was the weirdest "hash" I've ever seen. It was rubbery chunks of corn beef and chunks of potato. That was literally it. The waitress was having a hard time keeping up with everything by herself, so I didn't want to bug her but she never came over and asked if we needed anything or checked in. When it was time to pay, she gave us a bill for $36 and my husband went over to the machine to pay. It didn't match the bill. Instead it said $55. She finally went over and said she gave us the wrong tables bill, and apologized. My husband grew a little frustrated and just paid whatever it was. When I looked at the receipt after, they charged us a total of $65 for a two person breakfast including the 15% tip (my husband already selected 15% tip before the amounts got changed around) Most expensive breakfast I've ever had in my life. Please check your systems and train your staff on your billing machines. Maybe look up a recipe for cornbeef hash. Has great potential but I likely will not go back....

My daughter and I stopped by Randy's on the way home from a trip. We walked in and were sat at a table. On the back of the menu is the story of the siblings who opened the diner and named it after their father. Judging by the warmth of the clientele and the easy rapport the brother who served us, had with the patrons it was obvious that the place was filled with locals who frequented there regularly. Those that were sat at the bar were introduced to each other and the whole place had a friendly and comfortable feel. I had the blueberry cheesecake stuffed french toast, it was delicious and big thick slices of fluffy bread. My daughter had the chocolate chip pancakes which were light and fluffy and also lovely.... She may have eaten them all if not filled up on strawberry milk first! I also noticed someone who had the steak Benny, which looked amazing, and from the sound of yums coming from him it tasted as good as it looked! (Also, if the person who reads this that offered a random act of kindness, a huge thank you, you...
