Heading up to the lake this weekend and I'm going to be in Alton Bay this year. I am usually a Gilford, laconia or Meredith kind of girl so not sure where the good places are. My Dad is a big fan of breakfast out so if you guys could recommend some places in Alton I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I agree Ye Olde Bay is great. You may have to wait awhile though, since it's very popular.

Also, this Sunday the 20th there is a breakfast buffet at the Mason's hall on rt.28 south just over the bridge. I think $7.00 ea, well worth it.

It's worth driving a few miles to West Alton to dine at The William Tell Inn.

The MAIN STREET CAFE (http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3nm2c/mainstreetcafeandbistro/id2.html), in the same parking lot as Lakeside Variety, is also very popular and the price is right! Does Ye Old Bay Diner still deep fry their home fries? very weird.

I'll second the Main Street Cafe, especially if you like ginourmous omelettes.
The Dockside is a good choice too, although I haven't been there this summer for breakfast.

But we did have to go to $8 for adults, but kept kids under 12 at $3.

I haven't been there but got curious as WOKQ's Friday Buyer's Club had $50 certificates available for $25 and only 19 of the 100 available have been sold as of tonight (3/22, 9:16 PM). Found the above two reviews and it sounds like a wonderful place for breakfast, so I do believe I'm going to purchase one and check the place out!

Also, it seems from one of the posts one of our very own Forum members is the owner?

Log onto WOKQ, check out the Buyer's Club, and get one before the rush starts -- get a good deal and support the Lake economy by visiting!

I know I will be back on lake time when we've opened up for the year and I've had my first breakfast the the Diner. I can taste the homemade raisin toast now!

Just a few more weeks...

Ah, the Olde Bay Diner. We are counting down the days already and we, sadly, have months to go before we get there. We start to count as soon as the ice goes out.

If you were down at the Olde Bay Diner this morning you would have seen a huge crane removing the last of the tall pine trees remaining from the fire at the AB Conference Center.

Been seeing some activity around the Dockside the last few weeks and seen Dan going in and out and a fresh coat of paint and now there is a sign stating "openning Friday May 1st"
I hope he still has that great Haddock sandwich!

Main St Cafe is good. For lunch/dinner, I like J. P. China -- for Chinese food. Here's (http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3nm2c/restauranttakeoutmenus/index.html)a link to resturants in the Alton area. Click on a name to get details, including menus.

We went to Pop's Sunday it was great. The serving was hugh and we took home enough for lunch the next day. The quality was excellent too! For a few years it was not good. Nice to eat on a picnic table across the street and watch the activity on the lake.

Pop's did slip in the quality the past few years. I hate the 'cash only and use the ATM inside the dining room' bit. Most of the time the ATM is empty!

If the quality went up this year, I bet it is because of Johnson's up the road. They are excellent source of fried food.

We too frequent the Olde Bay Diner. :liplick: I just love the raisin toast!

Margie mentioned that someone called her an old bat on the Forum! I never dreamed it would have been you DRH! :eek: Now you have to fess up and tell her who you are here on the Forum! :laugh:

DRH is only kidding folks, they are all wonderfully nice at the Olde Bat Diner! :laugh: They are very generous too - donating a gift certificate and two loaves of homemade bread to our ForumFest raffle (http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7714)! :liplick:
