Wolfeboro Dockside Grille & Dairy Bar — Restaurant in Wolfeboro

One of the reasons I wanted to try the new Dockside was they had authentic Rhode Island Clam Cakes (Fritters) NOT The awful hockey puck Maine cakes. Also Clam Chowder... So, we did our Valentines Dinner there and I have to say I was very impressed. The food quality was superb, the chowder was Home Made, not the same ole Cisco stuff that everyone else serves. It's tough to make a good chowder... I never order steak when dining out as I am usually disappointed ... took a chance and it was perfect. It was the NY strip BTW and Mary's Prime Rib was Great as well. Prices were very good... much better than the high ender's where I live, service was top notch.. The GM came around twice to check on us. Our waitress was very nice even though I ran her ragged with my questions... The only miss was a very short desert menu and they had a couple of things I wanted to try but were only available if I ordered the entire special of the evening. I'm sure they will work on that. 4.95 Stars out of five. Call for reservations and just GO! You...

The view was nice, but... everything on the menu is just basic, waffle fries, onion rings, clams, and burgers or hotdogs. Just sodas or water to drink it seems. The only vegetables on the menu were salads, so... My wife ordered a side salad that showed up as a small, depressing mound of iceberg lettuce, four circles of cucumber with rot spots, and a few tomato slices. I ordered the chicken salad, (not to be confused with the sandwich also on the menu with the same name), that cost more than double the side salad, but was exactly the same with a small sad lump of chicken salad in the middle. There also seemed to be only teenagers running the place and it took forever to get their attention. They showed little interest in anything more than refilling their sodas and chatting at the register. We found this place because it was pouring and my kids were hungry, so we ducked in. It's cozy inside and has a good view of the lake. But, given the other nearby choices, I'd try...

Absolutely the worst burger I’ve ever had! Way overpriced for pre-frozen low quality burger. My wife and I both had cheeseburgers with the waffle cut fries. It was over $20 which is a little high but I figured based on reading other positive reviews that it would be worth it. I was wrong. It was store bought pre frozen cheap 20 cent patties with a slice of cheese, on a bun with nothing else for $8! If you want lettuce or tomato (something anyone would expect to be included it’s an extra $1) we paid the extra $1.50 for waffle fries which were good but we both only got 6 or 7 fries with our burgers. On top of that the burgers were over cooked flavorless hockey pucks. I asked for some ketchup and they handed me a sticky pile of ketchup packets that had old ketchup all over them. We were going to get ice cream but after how terrible our burgers were we didn’t want...
