Another VK vote, lots of reasons including home fries, beans, good prices and fun place.
At the other end of the lake, Kitchen Cravings is a good choice...many interesting choices, some familiar favorites, some different dishes.

Love Heritage Farm in Sanbornton but it's a bit of a drive and tends to be very busy!

Union Diner
Union Diner: Food and service are excellent and Rose the owner is a fantastic person. I also enjoy Kitchen Cravings, never been to VK as it is a little far for breakfast but I will get there and to Heritage eventually

I don’t know if I’ve ever had a “bad” breakfast anywhere...probably because I don’t eat henfruit so I custom order my breakfasts.

Breakfast
Never had a bad breakfast in the area. But if I had a preference it would be Water St Café by car and Ames Farm by boat.
For brunch by car, Steele Hill Inn, By boat, Lake House.

All these thumbs-up for VK, but I've been three or four times and have been disappointed each one. Center Harbor Cafe, George's, and Sunshine and Pa's (for the immediate area) have always been far better experiences.

If you've got an errand to run in Rochester be sure to stop in at the Farmer's Kitchen for breakfast or lunch in Farmington right on Rt. 11. All those people waiting in line can't be wrong!

Of course, the VERY BEST breakfast would be on the 3rd Sunday of each month at the Mason's Hall in Alton where you might be served in person by Upthesaukee!!

Sunshine and Pas has always been good.
Hit up Center Harbor diner last week which was also good but not a fan at all of ANY restaurant that doesn’t take plastic! I usually never carry cash, so my visits there will be few and far between. I just don’t understand why restaurants in this century don’t take plastic? Stopped at the Village kitchen everyone raves about last year only to find a sign on the door “cash only” did an immediate about face and split while I hear voice saying “we have an ATM” Sure! I said and let me just add another $8.00 to my bill for your ATM fee and my banks cut.....no thanks! Last edited by JADAQ; 08-17-2019 at 08:30 PM. Reason: Add to post |

I learned this is the way of business at Pop's Clam Shell in Alton. To be honest, even though restaurant operators have to pay 3% to the banking industry, credit cards are far better to use to avoid cash shortages, cash mistakes, daily counts and daily deposits. Far too many issues in dealing with cash. I'm confident we could start a thread on the restaurants that have yet to accept credit cards. I also have known of some unattended gas stations in the past that leave their pumps on all night but you can't use their pumps unless you have a credit card. So credit cards do have some use somewhere! |

Citizens charges $3 for an atm advance plus whatever the fee on the machine is. So it usually costs $6 total. My CU doesn’t charge a fee as long as the machine is owned by another CU. Cash or check is old school and just about all restaurants just pass on the fee through their prices and that’s what people have come to expect. Pops and VC can do it because they have a large following but a mediocre place would probably fail. And I would think the cost of theft would far exceed the bank fees.

Sundays in July and August, Moulton Farm has a delicious farm-to-table brunch! I know that's a very limited time, but had to mention it because it is so good!

It’s not uncommon for loyal customers to a restaurant to bring cash to help protect the longevity of there favorite restaurant. “Under the table” is really more a thing of the past in the restaurant business. Today, state and federal revenue collectors have sophisticated software that compares restaurant consumption against revenue reported. Anyone attempting to under report sales will get caught. |

most banks will reimburse for ATM fees. Not paying fees to CC companies allows us to keep our prices within reason. Also, our waitstaff much prefers the cash system for speed (and tips are better). Totally understand that many people do not like to use cash and the day may come when we have to make the change but for now it's working well. |

There are consumer banks that actually pays your CC fees. Mostly CUs. I opt for a CU that pays for all of my CC fees including fees occurred outside of the CU network! It pays to shop around!

From an assumptive position I tend to agree that people spend more on the card, however same as there are some who find it difficult to let go of cash, there are others who have a hard time looking at a bigger number when writing it. |

As I've mentioned in another thread, I HATE HATE HATE when a takeout place puts a tip line on the receipt rather than keeping a jar out, but I love places like Liliuokalani that put "girls" vs. "guys" or, especially, a list of the kids' names and where they'll be going to school in fall.

Totally agree in regards to the Panhandling for a tip on a take-out order. I can’t say I feel the same about putting out 2 tip cups. It aggravates me that we are surrounded by efforts to take sides. I fear the results if those who wish to divide us succeed. |

Rosie's in Tamworth
Back to the original topic...breakfast
Just felt I had to mention Rosie's in Tamworth. A bit of a drive (although not too bad from Tuftonboro/Moultonboro) but worth it... Just a bit of a special place with super friendly service and an extensive breakfast menu that includes homemade breads and your choice of "eewy gooey" or "buttery crunchy" cinnamon rolls. |

Not so much! Been to VK (and other restaurants with that policy) just one time, "cash only" keeps us away. My summer group of 4-10 each weekend will alternate who pays the tab. None of us are hitting an ATM just for that restaurant. And MOST DEFINITELY will not pay ATM fees to the owner to eat at his establishment. Sorry, but it's 2019 out there. |

Just walked in the door from our fine dining at the VK...piping hot chicken croquettes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, squash. Very pleasant, not too crowded, and we never mind needing cash....very small price to pay . We are regulars and are never disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On the other side
My extended family goes every weekend to Morriseys Front Porch in Wolfeboro for breakfast as it's the best as they all say ! They are only open for breakfast Fri-Sun. due to help restraints . Yet to hear ! complaint from 3 year old to senior citizens !!
And no I don't know the owners or Chef Tony. Just like the place ! |

Cup and Crumb
Not a full breakfast, but a special shout out to Cup and Crumb in Moultonborough. Excellent coffee, espresso drinks, and fresh baked goods in an old barn setting. Favorite dish--their "Pop Tart" (but you'd better get there early for that one).
