Let’s see what kind of response Hart’s gets with their new buffet.
People may accept the change more readily now than before. Adequate staffing has become a constant challenge. I’m glad someone is trying something different. |

I went last winter and it was very good but I just can't eat enough anymore to justify the cost, It was expensive. |
Sorry, I didn’t realize that they’ve done it before.
I don’t have a big appetite, so I would not want to spend a lot of money for an all-you-can eat buffet. I do enjoy having a selection of different food items. Does it have to be like a college cafeteria where you can go back as often as you like? Maybe charge a different price for one time ? |

The older I get I can't eat as much but love a buffet because I can get just what I want. One string bean and three meatballs? Done.
Obviously the trick to a buffet is for it to be busy so the food is fresh. Hart's kind of has an advantage because thanksgiving type food can sit for a long time with no real loss in quality like you would have with a stir fry, or fish or something similar. $35 though? Way too much. I think Bellagio in Las Vegas is less than that. |

Wow! $35 is crazy expensive.
I have not been to Hart’s in years. When I am in the mood for turkey, which is the main reason to go to Hart’s, in my opinion, I prefer the small turkey plate at the Village Kitchen. Just the right amount and price. 😋 |

Needless to say I haven't been back, way too much money, IMO. |

The price for the Buffet is $21.99. Where people got $35 is beyond me.

An AYCE buffet is a kiss of death in our family because our stop switches don’t activate in time....so we tend to overdo it...not happy to admit a lack of self control. 🤨

Gross
To me there is nothing more disgusting than a buffet in a public restaurant! I just cannot bring myself to eat food that has been plopped in warming platters, sitting for God knows how long, having people parade in front of it while being looked at, sneezed at and handled by who knows how many people with dry skin, dirty hands, and hairy arms!! Yuck!! :eek::eek:
Ill take my food served on a clean plate direct from the kitchen oven or grill then served directly to me at my table with very limited handling in between!!... Dan |

Maybe my other suggestion of self serve if so many people are afraid to eat from a buffet.
I was trying to think outside of the box. My husband has been in the food service business since forever. I have heard all of the horror stories. 😂 |

To be clear -- the Buffet, which is set up in the downstairs dining area is approx. $22.00/pp it comes with extensive soup & salad bar, Prime rib, and a selection of fish dish's, usually some ham dish's and of course turkey dish's along with numerous sides like potato's (various), stuffing's, vegetables et al along with desert selection --- it is laid out & done quite nicely. But typically only Friday nights through the winter months.
We actually look forward to it each Winter as a welcomed change to the same old/same old. |

We are counting down the weeks until Hart's Friday night buffet resumes! The buffet usually has salad bar, soup, rolls, turkey, prime rib (2nds only), potato, squash, veggies, some type of fish, some type of pasta/starch, and a dessert table. They often post on Friday afternoon the menu on their Facebook page because they usually change up the type of soup, rolls, sides and desserts. The essentials are always good but sometimes the variable items are amazing and sometimes we just aren't interested. We have at least once driven up and back just for dinner based on the menu they posted! It's a bit more expensive than most of their entrees but for a few dollars more getting soup, salad and dessert and all you can eat squash makes it worth the price. I think last year it was around $21 or $22 per person for the buffet and then add beverages and tip.

Maybe they caught me eating more than 2 prime ribs and tacked on extra money. :D I could have sworn it was $35. I must have drank too much that night.:emb:
I was remodeling a bathroom last winter so by the time I went out to dinner I was totally exhausted. |
Hart’s buffet
That’s interesting Biggd. Do you think you had more than 2 pieces of prime rib and they charged you extra? Your bill got to $60, somehow.

That sounds like a lot of fun!

Can you post the Akwa Bar menu?
Also, just curious, does Akwa stand for something? |

Akwa Vista was the original name chosen by the developer trying to appeal to second home buyers, mostly from Massachusetts.
Will naming it Akwa Vista help to sell it? How does Akwa Vista sound? It sounds like the water, or something ...... hell's bells ..... lets go with Akwa Vista ..... it will sell! Renamed to Meredith Bay, which is actually located in Laconia, and is not in Meredith. So, how come it wasn't renamed Laconia Bay? |

Akwa Menu Day
Had a great afternoon playing for a room full Hart's Patrons. The Akwa Menu was great as was the audience. Hope to return soon!

That's Superman's changing room...duh!
|
These two photos must be from the 1950's ...... and the sign says breakfast ...... with a real unpaved parking lot ...... those were the days!
Progress is here in 2019 ....... like, what progress? I totally miss the 10-cent payphone booths with the rotary dial ..... plus the turkey was better, too. |
Hart’s buffet
The reason the turkey was better back then is because they were on the property. I used to love driving by and seeing them. How much fresher could they be?

Should they change their name to reflect reality? "Hart's Turkey Town" just doesn't cut it. |

It this your opinion or experience? I know many that go on Friday’s and it’s extremely busy don’t think it’s cooked prior and microwaved. Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

Too bad they don't do an afternoon buffet--I might stop by on the way to check out camp in the winter. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |
Hart’s buffet
I would be really surprised if Hart’s microwaves their turkey. If they have a large crowd they would not have enough microwaves to keep up.
I have not been there, so I cannot say for certain what they’re doing. If they are not carving the turkey on the buffet line, they would most likely put it in 2 inch pans with a little bit of water, cover them with foil to keep them moist and put them in an oven or a warmer until needed. |

Also--I don't think it's right to throw shade at a local business just based on supposition or maybes. Now pass me a drumstick! |

Does anyone remember the old A & W Root Beer Stand a little further up the road? Used to get 5 cent Root Beers there...... The entire D.W. Highway in South Nashua has turned into a shopping center and a traffic nightmare. If my memory serves me correctly the Route 3 highway By Pass opened in 1969 and the D.W. Highway transformation began. |

That being said, it's easy to see through rose-colored glasses. Though I'd be hard pressed to say things are "better" today, life in "my" area--northern MA to Moultonborough--is still pretty awesome. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |
Definitely Microwave in use.
