Griddle in the Middle which is 1/2 way between Laconia and Meredith is a great breakfast place for kids. You get to make your own pancakes. About a 20 minute ride from Alton. We did that and the Fun Spot on a rainy morning.
Alton...Pop's clam shell. It's not the fanciest place but you can eat outside up on their roof deck and watch the boats in Alton Bay.
Johnson's which was mentioned is not too far and good for kids. Affordable too.
First time on the lake, just take it slow, and make sure you have that map and follow it. The sand bar in Alton is amazing and a great place for kids. Two anchors like someone posted is a must. We would pack up a cooler and head out there and have lunch almost every day.
