Lakeside Deli and Grille

[chefbrown]

Just want to make the first official announcement of The Lakeside Deli and Grille in Meredith. My wife and I are opening the former Lakeshore Deli location right across the street from Clough Park. We will be offering fresh creative salads, homemade soups, a full deli spread as well as all homemade sides and a dinner menu as well. We plan to have a beer and wine menu with outdoor seating in the summer. Early March is the goal to open and we can't wait to make our dream become a reality.

Chef Jeff and Annie Brown

[Nagigator]

That's a great location, we used to enjoy the old Lakeside.......looking forward to trying the new one!

[Bear Island South]

Jeff and Annie,

Good Luck with your new business.
We used to frequent the old Deli and have missed it since it closed up. You have our business, its any easy stop for us on our way to Shep Browns.

[winnipiseogee]

Congrats! Are you the same folks that used to have the lakeshore deli?

Best of luck!

[chefbrown]

Congrats! Are you the same folks that used to have the lakeshore deli?

Best of luck!

Thanks for the best wishes! This is a new business and has no connection with the former Lakeshore Deli other than the location.

[Marauder]

Fantastic!!!!!

[LongBay]

and nice to hear you will be open for dinner too.

[winnipiseogee]

That's wonderful. We are always excited about new food and its a wonderful location you have there. Looking forward to trying things out in March! Just my two cents but please think about having dinner take out options for those of us who are lazy but hesitant to inflict our one year old on your patrons!!

Best of luck!

[chefbrown]

We are aware that a good portion of our business will be for take out. The entire menu will be available for take out and we also will have an extensive catering/pick up menu with 1/2 and full pans of a variety of dishes available.

Awesome! That will make the wife very happy! And you know what they say... Happy wife - Happy life! Unhappy wife - Very, Very unhappy life! :)

[Pontoon Goon]

I wish you and your wife nothing but the best of luck. Have you considered phone in orders that can be delivered to the docks ?

[ishoot308]

Have you considered phone in orders that can be delivered to the docks ?

Now there's a great idea!! You could sell a lot of food to the boaters at the docks!

[donnamatrix]

Really glad you are coming back. Your lovely little deli has been much missed.

[Bear247]

Congratulations to you both. Very excited to stop by the place on my way to Bear Island..

[moose tracks]

Congratulations! Good Luck with your new business! Is seafood on the menu? We will stop by in the spring.

Dockside delivery is already part of the plan for the summer! We are trying to think of the best way to make it work. Our thoughts are to do delivery on the hour every hour to the docks. Any thoughts or ideas are more than welcome and thank you very much for your best wishes!!

[chefbrown]

Congratulations! Good Luck with your new business! Is seafood on the menu? We will stop by in the spring.

There will be fresh seafood on the menu. Seafood will be delivered Monday and Thursday and I will run seafood specials based on what I get each week. Meehan's Fish out of Tuftonboro will be supplying our quality seafood and he has the best reputation in the Lakes Region! I eat the scallops he delivers raw out of the bag:-) It's that fresh!

[NoBozo]

I'll bet that almost no one knows that good scallops can be eaten raw. They are every bit as good as warmed..cooked. :)

I used to like Oysters On The Half Shell in a restaurant ..I think it was the Chart House chain down the East Coast to Florida. If they were really fresh..you could squirt a lemon on them and they would "flynch". Now they are too expensive. NB

[tis]

I LOVE oysters on the half shell, No Bozo! They are so good. I hesitate to eat a lot of any raw seafood because of all the things you hear, but I do love them!

Chefbrown, You asked for a few thoughts I hope you don't mind if I offer a couple. First of all every hour on the hour may not fit peoples schedule and on certain days dock space may be at a premium making it difficult to connect with boaters. So how about this. Find a high energy young person who can deliver to the docks on a bicycle. Put a sandwich board (no pun intended) on the bike saying :Another great lunch delivered by Lakeside Deli. Or, The lake is our Dining Room, or something to that effect. Put a bell on the bike and have him ring it like a crazy Ice Cream man every time he approaches the docks. Phone # and website on sandwich board and delivery person should pass out menus to other boats while making deliveries. Also after a long day on the boat people may not want to make dinner so why not promote order dinner ahead and pickup at dock. I am making myself hungry I gotta go.

We have already thought of the bike as it is a great idea. My concerns about the bike is if we are permitted to ride on the sidewalk over to the docks. If not that is a CRAZY corner with traffic in the summer and do not want to endanger anyone just to deliver food. I want a 3 wheel bike with a big basket and sign and flag. Love the bell idea!! If the bike idea can't work, it's only about a 5min walk over to the docks and our energetic delivery person will definitely stay fit!! Thank you for your thoughts! Love it!!

I LOVE THIS, not only do i miss the deli, but i love the idea of the delivery. And the person who runs the food will sure make some good tip money, people with big boats have big pockets. All the gas dock attendants know this.

[Greene's Basin Girl]

Personally I don't see why many customers can't walk to the deli. It is a short walk. I for one will be walking over to your place from the docks for your delicious food.

[LongBay]

How about asking the town of Meredith to put in some town docks on the other end of town. It would help us boaters who want to go to the new Lakeside Deli and Grille, get some provisions at Hannaford's or getting a cup of joe at Dunkie D's.

[Greene's Basin Girl]

It would also add more boat parking on those beautiful days when everyone is visiting Meredith. More docks would certainly be very nice!

If your name was Rusty McLear, you could put docks up in a heartbeat - with no questions asked. I'd like to know how he gets away with all these new improvements to Church Landing in areas that are supposedly within the Shoreland Protection Act buffers. :confused:

[Bear Island South]

How about keeping this thread relevant to the Lakeside Deli and Grille.
What Church Landing has done has no bearing on the new business that is starting up.

[BroadHopper]

I love patronizing the 'little guys'. You and other small businesses have my vote! I find Church Landing very 'tacky' with the way he tried to bring the birch trees into the interior design. We have our events at Oliver's Lodge. Way better accomodations and at a cheaper price!

The Opening day has just been set for April 4th!!! Tell your friends!! We can't wait to get started. The deli is really starting to come together and more updates will be coming as they happen.

[Nagigator]

we're coming up the weekend before you guys open to start the season, and it will be great to drive by, and know next time I can stop in!

[CARDER LANE]

How about a segway for dock delivery?

[Belmont Resident]

A Lakeside restaurant just opened up in the old Dunking Donuts building across from the new Dunkin donuts in Laconia. Just down the street from Pizza Hut.

I was confused about that too

[chefbrown]

We were surprised to see another Lakeside named restaurant go into the old Dunkin location. Apparently according to the state the names are different in their entirety to be allowed that close together. Hopefully there won't be an issue with the similarity. The menus and concepts are different as well.

I was talking with someone about this and given the location it is eventually doomed to fail. No parking and very hard to get in & out of.
I remember when DD was there and there would be a line down the road of people waiting to get in the drive thru.
I wish them luck, time will tell.
Good luck with your new business. If I’m in that area working I’ll look you up.

[no-engine]

Businesses should "register" the names with Sec of State, then another would not be allowed of the same name. I think that's what happened with Long Ridge Farms now going by Picnic Rock Farms.

FYI: I think an original name in Meredith was Lake Shore Deli, with Charlie's well known potato salad recipe, carried to your building by two ladies who bought the business. From there, I have no clue if the recipe is saved to next owners of a deli in that corner building, of course long closed.

YES, totally agree that traffic issues in summer would prevent vehicle deliveries to Town Docks. I am sure added docks must have State approvals, in addition to Town approvals. Both a long process.
Off your section of the Lake, there are depth issues to deal with, unless permission can be granted for you to deliver by boat from dock of a neighbor ~ not suggesting client docking, just your own delivery boat run by young summer help, in even a kayak!

I seem to remember the deli on Main Street in what was Karen & Barry's (now recently closed) had a decent business of lunches to boaters as well as business people around town.

Go for it, with some "thinking out of the box"!

[sum-r breeze]

What great news! We love to got to Meredith for lunch and sometimes don't want to wait for a table and wait for waitress and wait fot the check at the end. We would love to just take a nice walk over to the Deli for sandwiches. Dock delivery is an awesome idea! That area of Meredith is bustling with activity and you should do very well. Best of luck at your new venture. We'll be there for our first lunch on the water this season!

[WakeboardMom]

Across the street from BarnZ's theater...next door to Flurries...the corner of Route 25...and...?

[Belmont Resident]

The place in this thread is not the new one in Laconia. I had made mention because they had VERY similar names which is usually frowned on by the state but in this instance they are different enough to be ok.
The restaurant in this thread is in Meredith.

The new place at the old D&D has so much competition. With T-bones, pizza hut, subway DiAngeloes all within walking distance it will be a tough sell. Couple that with almost no parking and it's looks to be another un-reasearched business venture.

Corner Route 25 and Pleasant Street, once a florist, offices real estate and variety of uses but once a deli.
Heading east, it's before Flouries, and before Hannaford's!

[Irish Choppers]

Just took a walk over to take a peek at your new place. I wish you nothing but good luck! Although I live down in Boston, we have a place in Meredith right around the corner and look forward to stopping in frequently. As a business owner I understand all of the effort and energy that has gone into your new venture and wish you and your family good health and much success!

[mrschefbrown]

Hi All,
This is Annie, Chef Jeff's wife. We can't thank you all enough for your input, excitement & warm wishes. This has been a dream of our's for 10 years & to see it come to fruition is beyond exciting. We look forward to meeting you all & for you all to get to know our family. Our son's Liam (10 y.o) and Ryan (5 y.o) will be at the deli often.
The space is almost done & we have put in alot of hours to make the space warm & friendly. The food will speak for itself! We have had to push back our opening date to April 9, but look forward to finally getting started. Thanks for the support, we appreciate it.

I've had Chef Jeff's food before when he was Chef at the Coyote Grill. He knows how to cook and doesnt take shortcuts like many in the area. Meredith is lucky to have his new business here. Can't wait to try it out.

Hmmmm ... suspicious first post there ...

[Phantom]

I too was initially confused with the EXACT location. This sounds even better !!

If I get this right.... by water... If I am lucky enough to slip up on the Bay Point dock the new Deli is directly across the street. There's a bank there too if I am not mistaken.

Which brings me back to the Threads discussion of Dock Delivery .... given the above is accurate -- Jeff / Annie have you approached Bayside with the idea of utilizing their slip for pick-up?

[Hospitality Guy]

Hmmmm ... suspicious first post there ...

Not sure how's it's suspicious, I've lurked here for years and wanted to make a positve post for this new business. Why so cynical? You make me feel very very welcome.......

Hi All,

Here are some pictures of the Deli. We will be opening for full service on Tuesday the 10th. We are doing a soft opening on Monday to introduce the deli to some local business owners. We would love the feedback from the forum members, as much as we would love to have you all, we can't! The first 2 forum members who PM me will be treated to a free lunch at our soft opening. Thanks & I will post winners shortly!

After seeing the photos I can see what care you have taken to set up and decorate "Lakeside"...can't wait to visit and sample some of your menu.:liplick:

[fatlazyless]

Your new Lakeside Deli looks just super-duper, and thanks very much for getting it done like you did, it looks terrific. Cannot wait to head over there by boat with my girlfriend and park the little boat in the shallow water that's between you and the Meredith Yacht Club....and wade ashore......for breakfast......your spot on the lake should probably be a big winner, breakfast go-to spot!

[mrschefbrown]

Thanks fatlazyless, but we are not open for breakfast! Lunch & dinner, but please stop by!

i just wanted to come on here and say how WONDERFUL my lunch was here today. and i am not getting paid to say this lol. I was skeptical that it could live up to the old deli that use to be at this location.:D but when i walked up those steps and into the building. my skeptical thoughts were gone. the view is great, the interior is fantastic, and dont even get me started on the food. BOY OH BOY was it GOOD. no... GREAT. All in all it was a great meal provided by very nice people behind the counter. cant wait for my next trip.

We are open for lunch & dinner Monday thru Saturday until 8 pm. (Sunday we are closing at 3,(family time) until the summer season) Hopefully the beer & wine license will be in hand in the next week or so.

This is the opening menu, we apologize for the delay, we have been busy! The catering menu is soon to follow, we will be doing a full catering menu, beer & wine (hopefully soon!) Stop by & say hello, we look forward to meeting you all!

[winnipiseogee]

Darn that was good. My wife stopped in for lunch today - loved it - and so I grabbed take out for dinner. Between us for the two meals we had the half roasted chicken, the pesto tortellini salad, the Cassidy sandwich and the potato crusted salmon (plus a choc chip cookie for dessert). They hit it out of the park on all counts. Great food and great people. I highly recommend it!!

[Gatto Nero]

My wife and I were on our way home from an appointment in Gilford and were looking for a place for lunch. We were just going to stop at Papa Gino's but I remembered reading here about Lakeside Deli and Grill opening some short time ago so we figured we'd give it a shot. I'm very glad we did. The place looks great, very relaxing atmosphere. Everybody was very friendly and accommodating and the menu had a little bit of everything. I had the Italian sub and it was packed. I never saw mushrooms in an Italian before but I did tell them "the works". It was great. I can't remember what they called what my wife had (some kind of grilled turkey and coleslaw maybe?) Anyway, it was really good as well. It was a beautiful day so we sat out on the porch and enjoyed the view while we ate. Can't get that at Papa Gino's. We'll be back but I think next time I'll have to try the "The Black Cat".

[VitaBene]

We had a great sandwich and conversation with Chef and Mrs Chef! Beautiful space and that deck is stunning!

[fatlazyless]

Hart's Turkey also has an excellent sandwich menu within their dinner menu that seems to be similar in price and selection to the Lakeside Deli, so this makes two Meredith restaurants that would be a less expensive place to go than any of the nearby Town Docks/Inn at Church Point/Camp/Lego restaurants.

[Denny Crane]

My boys and I had the pleasure of visiting the Lakeside last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed Ryan's Rueben and 2 Classic Burgers. While we waited outside on the porch we enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing lake setting across the street. We saw some fresh salads delivered to another table on the porch and I will be sure to try them on the next trip. Unfortunately we had to take our food to go because my wife and daughter were driving up after us and we had to get to Town Docks for ice cream before it closed at 8! Another Classic Burger and Mount Washington on fresh bread were downed with no evidence remaining! The owners couldn't have been nicer, and I really believe this is the spot to go when you need a great meal, a place to unwind, and you don't feel like eating the same old take-out sandwich at home. I look forward to many returns, even throwing a line out to fish in the park across the street. Five thumbs up from my family, and that hardly ever happens! Denny Crane!

[mrschefbrown]

No GTO, No chicken fingers on the menu, we have alot to offer children ( we our parents to a 5 & 10 yo) if you want them & we have time we will absolutley accomadate your request! And they will be fresh & homemade ;)

Hey Mr and Mrs. ChefBrown,

How about having a lunch cart at the docks? Everyone can enjoy your delicacy without having to walk across a busy street!

That way FLL won't leave his bench!

If not a cart how about a runner/biker stacked with menus for dockside delivery?

[WeirsBeachBoater]

Very tasty!

[chefbrown]

Can't believe we have been open for just over a week. Working out the kinks and S@#t is always a challenge. Just wanted to thank everyone for the feedback and for trying us out! Staffing especially in the beginning is also tough. We have had some busy times where I know some of you have waited too long for lunch. That is a major concern of mine! I am striving for quality above all and speed has to be there as well. We are working very hard to make everyone's experience a great one. Thanks again for the feedback and the business and hope the word keeps spreading!! Chefbrown

[Swanpoint guy]

Great day for a boat ride so we headed out to Meredith to try out Lakeside Grill. Short walk on a beautiful day from the docks to the resturant. With a nudge I went for the ribs and they were the best I've had in New England - just fall of the bone tender and tasty. We also got a burger (big and juicy) and the Rubin (lean and tender). Big portions and very good sides. Being a math wiz I calculated the stroll from the docks to the Deli and back equals one ice cream cone guilt free. Great evening.

[Bear247]

Enjoyed the food so much, we went three times last weekend. I would very much recommend it to all.

[Greene's Basin Girl]

My sister and I got salads from there the other day. They were very good. My only suggestion would be to cut the ingredients smaller. We had take-out and it was hard to cut some of the vegetables, bacon, chicken etc. with a plastic knife.

[Bear Island South]

First, just want to say thanks to Jeff and Annie for staying open 15 minutes later on Friday night. We called them on our way up and ordered dinner to go, told them we would be a little later than 8pm and they had no issues with our later arrival. They made sure our food would be warm and said they would start preparing at 8:05. We arririved at 8:15 and they were just finishing our order. perfect timing. As mentioned above the ribs were delicious, my wife had the seared scallop salad, scallops were tender and sweet, I also had the BLT salad with grilled chicken with my ribs, the salad and ribs were enough to feed two people.
Thanks for the great meal, we look forward to sampling more of the menu.

[LongBay]

My wife and I stopped in the past two weekends and had some great salads and sandwiches. We will be back again soon so we can try out more of their selections. Can't wait to get some friends together so we can book a reservation for the private dining room upstairs overlooking the lake.

[hilltopper]

House Italians were great. Also, awesome fries with great seasoning!

[chefbrown]

We will have an old favorite on special this weekend. Turkey Sandwich w/ Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce and Mayo. Choice of bread. Fries w/ Gravy?? Grew up on those in NJ. They will be available also!! Just in case anyone is interested!!

I grew up in NJ also, and where we lived fries with gravy weren't on the menu. Just wondered where in NJ. I'm from Bergen County.

[NoBozo]

I remember fries with gravy from somewhere but I can't remember where. I was raised in Passaic County, NJ. I also remember fries with vinegar in Connecticut in the sixties. Yummy. :) NB

Disco fries! I learned about these from my NJ friends when I lived in Hoboken for a few years.

Can't wait to try out Lakeside Deli in July. Sounds delicious!

Just read the Laconia Daily Sun online and saw the ad from the Meredith firefighters thanking Annie of Lakeside Grille for the sandwiches and salads and Hart's Turkey Farm for coffee they supplied during the recent fire in Meredith. Good community spirit and great advertising. Can't wait to try Lakeside while we're at the lake in August.

I always think of the Gilbreths when I see the signs for Montclair. : )

Thank you for a great meal last night! We stopped by on our way to Moultonborough and got some great take-out and met Mrs. Chef Jeff. The Vegetable Strudel was fabulous and WBD loved his Mount Washington. He's already planning on working his way through the sandwich menu!

We enjoy our macaroni salad and tortellini salad. The pesto was just right, not overly garlic-y. They were perfect complements to our other selections.

And...the place is absolutely beautiful. Great views from the dining room and the deck. "Two thumbs up! Highly recommend!"

Love Disco Fries-I too am from NJ and spent many a Saturday night enjoying Disco fries in diners all around NJ after hitting the bars :)

They had fries with vinegar in NJ too-I remember getting some at the Monmouth county beaches and having them. I remember my dad having me try them for the first time when I was a kid-thought it was weird until I tried them-yummy!

Sounds really good. Some really great reviews of your place so far-cannot wait to check it out!

[GTO]

No GTO, No chicken fingers on the menu, we have alot to offer children ( we our parents to a 5 & 10 yo) if you want them & we have time we will absolutley accomadate your request! And they will be fresh & homemade ;)

I was up this past weekend for my sons graduation at PSU. On Friday night we attented his awards ceremony and didn't get back into the Meredith area around 8 pm. We were all staved by this time and I suggested we try Lakesode deli becasue I had heard alot of good things about it from the forum. It was 7:50 and they closed at 8 so my wife ran in and asked if it was too late. They said of course not, c'mon in. The woman behind the counter mentioned the fish of the day was swordfish and my fathers eyes lit up, he no longer had to look at the menu. He said after that it was delicious. My wife got the meatball sub and also said it was delicious. Me.....being the plain picky eater, got the plain roast beef sub. Very good!! At no time did we feel rushed to order. We would of stayed and ate on the deck to enjoy the weather and the view but we didn't want to hold up the staff, I'm sure they wanted to get home after a long day. The woman behind the counter actually started chatting with my mother about her son just graduating from Vermont the week before. So, what I am trying to say is, very friendly people, great food, very nice atmosphere inside, nice eating area on the deck......we now have a new place to go. Only thing missing is the docks.....maybe someday

[Gatto Nero]

Only thing missing is the docks.....

And chicken fingers :D

[Hospitality Guy]

I was able to stop in for my first "to go order" from Lakeside yesterday. I was able to enjoy a beer or two while I waited now that they have their beer and wine license. Loved the Reuben and the Cassidy sandwiches. Chef Jeff and Mrs Chef Jeff are doing it right!

[Hermit Cover]

Went last week for an Italian Sub...almost need a forklift to carry it to the car..I think there were 5 or 6 different meats. Made the car smell good on the way home and it tasted great...easily made two meals. A bargain priced sub for what you get...:liplick:

[belly_button_biter]

This is the only place in NH to eat Ribs!!!

Chef Brown's Lakeside Deli and Grille is going to be a great success here in Meredith. He has done a wonderful job of transforming a run down property to an attractive and welcoming restaurant. The location is perfectly located in the heart of Meredith with unimpaired views of Lake Winnipesaukee.

So far we have treated ourselves to several of Chef Brown's offerings and have not been disappointed. We look forward to taste testing what else he has in store and enjoying lunch or dinner with a glass of wine and/or beer. Seating indoors or outdoors is optional.

This restaurant is an excellent addition to Meredith. I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time there.:)

[sum-r breeze]

We finally got over to the Lakeside Deli and Grill yesterday for lunch. Mrs Breeze and I both had the same sandwiches (The Black Cat Chicken) and they were both awesome! Mine was on the traditional bulkie roll and Mrs Breeze had hers on a wheat wrap. We were both surprised that Chef Jeff put her wrap in the panini press like my bulkie roll. What an excellent idea! The swiss cheese was all melty and delicious and both sanwiches were piping hot.:liplick: We had an excellent dining experience and highly recommend them as a must try restaurant in Meredith. We sat outside on the front porch with a great view of the lake and a nice cool "summer breeze" while we had lunch.

Great job!
The Breeze
Wave 'cuz I'll be wavin' back:D

[moose tracks]

After reading about the transformation of the former Lakeshore Deli, we finally got a chance to drop in last week. We enjoyed lobster rolls, fries and Blue Moon beer complete with a slice of orange while sitting on the porch overlooking the activity in Meredith cove. The food and atmosphere were so good that we stopped back two days later and ordered the lobster rolls and Blue Moon beers again! The toasted rolls were filled with a nice portion of lobster and were delicious. We took home a container of their homemade potato salad and it was really very good. It was a relaxing atmosphere in comparison to the other lakeside restaurant in Meredith. We’ll be back for more. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Chef Brown! :)

Where is this?

Where is this?

Across the street from the movie theatre in Meredith.

[jkjoshuatree]

Great food and great service. Well I was there today eating lunch someone side swiped my car. Someone from the deli asked me if the black car was mine and I said no because I just bought it and my old one was gray. I totally spaced.

Ill go back tomorrow and let them know it WAS my car they were asking about. Any chance any Winni people were there today and witnessed it?

[Happy Gourmand]

Fabulous filet steak tip sandwich....real pieces of steak, not like the typical steak sandwich that ends up more like ground beef. Wife had a salad that was huge and delicious, she couldn't eat it all. What a treat this place is....great addition to the lake restaurant scene.
JK, wasn't me, and I didn't see a thing. But I did hear a rumor that the ForumFest would be held there the first week of September or so. You heard it here first!

Hi Jay,

Its Annie Chef Jeff's wife, I have the person's contact info that hit you, stop by or call me at the Deli tomm. Thanks & I am glad you enjoyed your lunch...

[jkjoshuatree]

I totally spaced. You asked if I had a black car and I looked at you and said no. Oops. I'm so used to having a gray car.

Anyway…sorry for my punctuation earlier (was on my phone). I didn't give The Lakeside Deli and Grille proper…er…props.

My sandwich was very fresh and huge. Any time you have a sandwich where you need a fork after it's gone to eat the remnants, you know you have one big sandwich.

I'll stop by tomorrow to get her info. Thanks so much for the call.

In the meantime, here's a pic (hope this works) to whet your appetites.

P.S. Chicken salad with spinach and avocado

[colt17]

My wife and I were in this past friday to grab some sandwiches to bring back to our camp. We both had the Cassidy, a bag of chips and pasta salad. It was excellent and we both couldnt finish it. We will be back for more!!

I still like the Lakeside Deli and Grille very much but I would love to see some dinner specials rather than the same menu items offered at lunch. The quality of the food is excellent but a little variety would be good.

[ThePlut]

I ate here twice during my recent stay up on the lake. The first was an impromtu walk by as I was waiting for the rain to pass to take my boat from it's slip to the rental house. And it was so great, I made a point to bring the rest of my family back near the end of vacation.

Given it's walking distance from my slip, I plan to eat here often through the end of the season, and hopefully try everything once!

Given a few lousy experiences with local establishments up on the lake this year, The Lakeside was a shining example of great food done right!

:)

[Lakesrider]

Drove by late last night around 7:45pm and the outside eating area was packed. I like seeing places full of people. We have had it rough for the past couple years and it is nice to see people enjoying the outdoors again. Wish we would have stopped, but we were planning to eat at the Bob House. That didn't work as it was closed when we got there. 8PM on a Sat and they were closed?
Next time it is the Lakeside.....:D

[WakeboardMom]

We love your place, Chef Brown! I put the pedal to the metal tonight on Route 104 and pulled into your parking lot at 7:54. At 7:55 my husband was about to walk up the ramp when a very polite teenage girl told him that the restaurant was closed.

As I walked up behind him, and asked, "What's up?" he said, "This young lady says they're closed." I replied, "It's only 7:55...?" She then said, "We'll, do you know what you want?" We looked at each other thinking that we'd like to go inside and look at the board. My husband answered, "Something to eat?" she then asked "Something from the grill?" we just looked at each other and shrugged.

"I'm so sorry, we're closed. I am very sorry, but we're closed."

Maybe because of the party tomorrow...? But I'm surprised...you guys are generally more accommodating than that; and truly it was 7:55. We thought we'd be all set.

It wasn't a ton of money, but Pat's got our $30 this time.

We will definitely try harder next time.

If a restaurant says it closes at 8:00 that is typically when the last customer leaves. If they served you at 7:55 you probably wouldn't have been out of there until 8:30. I can understand their position.

[GsChinadoll]

At our restaurant, we close the doors when it's time to close, if someone walks in one minute before closing they get served. We are grateful for every customer. Closing time is closing time, not when customers are done eating time.:) If our clock differs from yours , which I hope not, then let us know, it happens.

Not the right attitude at all. As the mother of four kids who have spent many summers as servers here in the lakes region, that's completely untrue. See GS's post below.

Hi aLL,

This is Mrs. Chef Brown, I sincerly apologize. I was out of town all week visiting my Mom, this would have never happened if I was here! I will speak with the woman who spoke to you right away.

[Greene's Basin Girl]

Thanks for allowing us to hold our Forum Fest at your establishment. The food was very tasty.

[Just Sold]

We were at the Forum Fest today and the food was wonderful. We will be back. Loved the Chicken Terryaki sticks and the seafood cakes. :liplick: The location is tops with us with a great view of Meredith harbor.

[BroadHopper]

The Ms. and I was able to make it to the Forum Fest late. Nevertheless the staff made sure there was hot food available. The staff even gave was bowls of steaming hot chili!

I ate here a few times in the past, I was not impressed. The new owners convinced me to come back. I would reccomend this place to everyone. One of the few new establishment on the lake that was worth kudos.

[Orion]

We had lunch there today and found our new casual dining favorite. The apple-bacon butternut soup was delicious and went well with our grilled turkey gobbler sandwich and beer. Great lunch on the porch overlooking the bay on a gorgeous day. WE WILL BE BACK.:liplick:

[WinterHarborGirl]

We have stopped there twice now on the way up to the lake...Both times were superb!!! Love the sandwiches...My husband and I have gotten the same thing each time...Him Pastrami and me the Black Cat. Both excellent. Oh and the fries too. Best fries around.

[Kasey]

I'm so happy that the Lakeside Deli & Grille has a new dinner menu which boasts dishes such as potato encrusted salmon, lemon chicken, steak, mashed potato and vegetables. They offer a new "winter salad" and several appetizers that are excellent. If you're in the mood for a glass of wine and an appetizer, do try the spring rolls (but please leave enough for me).

If quality food, creatively prepared and attractively presented, are what you're looking for together with spectacular views of the lake, visit Chef Brown and his wife Annie for dinner.

:D

[Lakesrider]

Thanks I printed that schedule out and stuck it on my fridge....:D

[Bear Island South]

We stopped by for dinner last Sunday and tried the Bistro Filet and Meatloaf w/ Mac+Cheese and also the Butternut Bisque. Mouth watering to say the least, the filet was cooked to perfection and so tender you could cut with a fork, the meatloaf a perfect comfort food for the fall season and the bisque was WOW, so much flavor.
Can't say enough about the hospitality, Annie is the perfect host and Jeff a top notch chef.
Keep up the good work.

[Rusty]

Article in this weeks edition of "The Meredith News" about a guided restaurant tour which Lakeside Deli & Grille will particapate in:

[Silver Duck]

about the Meatloaf and butternut bisque, and the table service is a great addition! I've been going there since early Spring, and never been disappointed. Methinks I've found a new favorite restaraunt! :)

[SIKSUKR]

That trick or eat looks like a great idea.Wish I could go.

[Denny Crane]

I stopped in for lunch with my boys on the way out of town last week and we all agreed our Mount Washington and italian andwiches were one of the best sandwiches we ever had! We were able to soak up the lake scenery from the front porch and enjoy a sampling of the butternut soup which we will add to our list of must haves when we go back. I can't wait to start off a future weekend visit with a seasonal brew or two, maybe try the dinner menu out, or drop a fishing line right across the street!
So many options!

[Greene's Basin Girl]

Your screen name brought back memories of Boston Legal. I miss Denny Crane!

[moose tracks]

We closed up the camp this weekend and stopped in for a last dinner out at Lakeside Deli and Grille. I had the scallops and parmesean risotto and my wife chose the winter salad and broccoli cheddar soup in a bread boulle. Just delicious, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Mrs. Chef Brown brought out samples of the famous butternut squash soup..mmm....very nice. I couldn't resist a slice of chocolate cream pie that was also quite good. A perfect end to another great season at the lake. Dinner service is temporarily suspended until after Thanksgiving according to Mrs. Chef Brown due to family obligations. See you next year!

[chefbrown]

The Deli opened April 10th 2012!! Thanks to everyone's support we made it through the winter. Just! For the first 2 weeks in April we will have anniversary specials throughout the week. More details to follow closer to April. Just our way of saying thank you for the support during our first year in business.
Mr. and Mrs Chefbrown

[Bear247]

Thank you for the great food over the past year.

[VitaBene]

Nice place with super nice owners!

[WakeboardMom]

Great food...really, really enjoyed last week's homemade meatloaf and mac n cheese!

[Happy Gourmand]

The Lakeside Deli is a great addition to the lakes region. Fast and friendly...and great food to boot! It was hard for my to get something other than the best steak sub I ever had, but got a really great salad on our first visit last weekend.
Continued success to the Lakeside Deli and Mr and Mrs Chefbrown :liplick:

What a lovely lakeside lunch we had today! We sat outside, by the lake and enjoyed an awesome lunch. What a filling sandwich they make! -loaded with meat! I had the Turkey Gobblah, soooo yummy! My hubby thoroughly enjoyed the Ryan's Reuben! Great place, can't wait to return and try other menu items!! :)

[LongBay]

Having eaten just about everything on the blackboard, I have to say their eggplant parmesan sandwich is one of my favorites. My wife recently had one of the best lobster rolls ever. I know what I'll be ordering next.

[MaidenCove07]

Made my first venture to Lakeside (yeah, sorry it took a whole year), and it won't be my last.
Everyone was bright eyed and bushy tailed for Monday after Bike Week.
Most of my favorite haunts were closed for some long overdue sleep and repairs so I had to venture outside my comfort zone.
I wasn't disappointed, though my order had a couple hiccups (extra mayo and cold veggies were absent), but they were not deal breakers.
We ordered their steak and cheese and a Super Beef. The roast beef was the juiciest and tenderest I've ever had on a sandwich I didn't roast myself.
The steak bomb was delicious.
I'm anxious to try some of the other items raved about here~!

[lake4life]

I've been here twice so far this year. Both times have been excellent. The Reuben is as good as I've ever had elsewhere. I wish ChefBrown the best and encourage others to try this unassuming deli by the bay.

[RI Swamp Yankee]

My wife and I ate there last year during our vacation visit to The Lake and loved it. We went back last week and were not disappointed. My wife had the tuna salad on a sub roll and she said it was the best tuna she has ever had. I had pastrami on a spinach wrap and it was excellent. Pastrami was not fatty or over salty like some places I have tried and had just a hint of that nice peppery tast from the pastrami edges :liplick: The shaded tables on the lawn with a view of the bay added to an enjoyable meal.

Note to FLL: Yes you can go accross the street and get a cheaper sandwich (and less expensive) BUT you will not get one made up exactly as you want, brought to your table by a chearfull young lady, with seating with a great view.

[BroadHopper]

Visit the Deli last Thursday night and had an excellent meatball sub. The portion was huge, I had to take half of it home.

The Ms. had the excellent brocilli soup and ceaser salad.

This is the third visit and we are never disappointed.

[bigdog]

Stopped at the Lakeside Deli and Grille for the first time Sunday afternoon, after shopping with my wife, and was pleasantly surprised !:)

Used a $5.99 coupon I clipped-out from local paper, which bought you a pretty good roast beef sandwich on a lightly grilled bun, choice of chips & soda. How can you beat that !

We wanted to try the pizza, so ordered a combo-veggie-meat pizza, which was the best we've tasted in the area. The crust I was told, is hand-made and stretched, not those typical frozen shells, most pizza shops use. Anyway, it was the best pizza crust I've had, short of the North End in Boston.

Will definitely, be back to the Lakeside D&G soon !

Just an FYI. This should be posted under Lakeside Famous Roast Beef and Seafood located in Laconia. Thanks

[belly_button_biter]

We stopped here for lunch and everything was fabulous. Definitely the best sandwiches in Merideth

[RI Swamp Yankee]

We had lunch there again last week and it is still great. I can say the tuna in the tuna salad did NOT come from a can. :liplick:

[Newbiesaukee]

I have never seen tuna salad where the tuna was not from a can. Of course, it could be done but it would seem an unusual preparation. Please clarify for interest, not criticism. Perhaps it is salad with slices of tuna.

[RI Swamp Yankee]

Yes, I should clarify that.

We both had the "build your own" sandwich. Hers was tuna salad on a bulkie roll, not to be confused with tuna slices in a salad. It had a little mayo, a bit of finly chopped onion and celery and while it looked a bit like the chopped tuna from a can it tasted like fresh cooked tuna. We have both had the canned stuff at home but this tasted much better. Perhaps Chef Brown would be willing to share some of the secret as to the source.

[Ross_t]

Nice views eating out on the porch. My wife and I like this place. Reasonable prices and good sandwiches.
