My wife and I stopped here on our way to North Conway. A burger sounded like a good lunch idea so we decided to give it a try. Good stuff!! I got the Picnic Basket, and my wife got the Dirty Head. Both burgers were cooked very well and the perfect portion size. We also shared a basket of fries - which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Overall a perfect stop for lunch. Our waitress was very nice, attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is very cool too; beach vibes with chill music playing. If we come by this way on our way home, we may make a 2nd stop. :) read more

Amazingly friendly establishment, glad we stopped in for an early dinner. Burgers were fabulous, chicken a bit underwhelming. The espresso martini was a bit disappointing, very boozy tasting; beer was great and ice cold. Would return for the burgers and the hand battered onion rings, the fries were good but would be better if fresh cut. read more

I love this place and they have great food but after going online and seeing what was a $14 burger last summer being moved to $18 this summer something feels very off. If I got a couple patties or fries for $18 I'd feel like there's a stronger value, but as noted in my previous review years ago the price was already high enough compared to local options. It honestly feels like they accidentally wrote $18 because I can't wrap my head around the significant price increase. I'll update my review if I'm wrong or if they change it. read more

We went to Surfside after hiking Gunstock, and we were very hungry. We were seated right away outside, which has a cool, laid-back vibe. Inside was open and had A/C, but the deck just felt right after the hike. We started with the buffalo cauliflower and it was excellent. I ordered a Tubular IPA in a fun can, but unfortunately it was over a year old and tasted off--that was disappointing. The Silverback Burger was actually really good, though a bit pricey considering fries aren't included. My wife had the California burrito and really enjoyed it. We also got the half-and-half fries and onion rings--just okay, and definitely overpriced for what they were. Service was mixed: our waitress was attentive at first, but forgot to bring my wife another soda. That said, when we accidentally left our food behind, she saved it for us, which I really appreciated. Overall, food was tasty but on the expensive side, service was good but not great, and the expired beer left a bad impression. read more

Sat down at 6:30. It's now past 8:20 and the meal finally came but it ended minutes after -- not because it went well, but because we gave up. Our waitress came by twice total. We never got our drinks and had to ask a second time. Nobody came over to explain the delay or offer anything for the wait. Three other tables around us were dealing with their own food problems, so this clearly wasn't a one-off. To be clear, I'm not blaming our waitress. She was handling a floor she had no business handling alone, and management left her out to dry. That's a leadership failure, not a server failure. Our tots came out stone cold. The response when we pointed it out was a cheerful "oh perfect" before they were carried back to the kitchen. When food finally did arrive, the chicken sandwiches tasted like they'd been fried in oil that should have been changed days ago. The cheeseburger was the only thing cooked decently. A manager did eventually appear, but only at the end, and only to say the best she could do was take it off the check. No explanation other than "the fryer was too hot all day," no attempt to make it right beyond not charging us for food we couldn't eat. First and last time, unfortunately. read more

OK, but not great. Nice ambiance, friendly staff, reasonable prices for burgers, tacos, etc. -- but mistakes were made and the food was just OK. The grilled cheese with tomato was gooey but lacking in flavor (a low quality grilled cheese sandwich). The fish tacos were good. The pulled pork tacos were good. The fries were standard (nothing special). The onion rings I ordered (substituting for fries) with the pork tacos were quite good. The problem: I was charged $8 for a full order of onion rings, rather than getting a side of onion rings (a few, at a side price). So the onion rings cost more than the grilled cheese sandwich. Really? Ugh. They should differentiate between onion rings as a side for a burger or tacos and a full order (I didn't want a basket of onion rings, nor did the 3 of us eat that many in addition to our tacos / sandwich / fries). So we got more than we wanted at a price out of line with the need - a basket of onion rings for a tale having beers makes sense, as a side to a sandwich or a couple of tacos, not so much. read more

Was seated by hostess and forgotten. Watched a table of six sit down 5 minutes later and was served immediately. When asking if there was a server to wait on us, the managers reply was "you must have seated yourself." A rude and incorrect statement. We were given menus. Oblivious staff, so we told them we would find another place to eat. Response was "OK" and no apology for the blatant lack of attention or care to try and correct the gaff. It is obvious that the manager could care less about providing good customer service. Way to represent and act as a good steward of the business and its reputation. Fix yourself! read more

A Must-Stop in New Hampshire!! We were exploring New Hampshire from California and happened to pass by Surfside Burger Bar -- and from the moment we saw it from the outside, we knew it was going to be something special. The outdoor snow globes that u could dine in immediately drew us in, and the inside was warm, cozy, and intimate in the best way. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was Andreea. She was our waitress, bartender, and honestly the heart and soul of the place that day. She was taking care of everything -- serving, cleaning, managing the bar -- basically a one-woman show. Yet despite juggling so much, she made us feel completely welcomed, comfortable, and cared for. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine attentiveness added something magical to our visit. This meal became a memory we'll carry forever, and so much of that is because of Andreea and the way she brought the whole place to life. We highly, highly recommend Surfside Burger Bar to absolutely everyone -- whether you're a local or just passing through like we were. It's a must-stop, and Andrea is a huge part of what makes it so special. read more

Cute outdoor seating are and service was fast. Food and drinks were a little pricey but they were really good. Would stop by again!

We ate here yesterday. The food was very good. The service was a little slow. But it was also very busy. The vibe is super cool. They allow Dogs. We will definitely come back. read more

Foods okay,very costly ,beer prices aren't posted and are outrageous. Don't waste your money read more

This place is simple but so darn good! The burgers were cooked on point and the grilled cheeses with tomatoes too! Bartender is super friendly and the atmosphere is great too! My 10 yr old son keeps on asking to return. I'm yet to try the Tacos but I'm sure will be wonderful! read more

Surfside Burger Bar is one of the most fun places to be in the summer at Lake Winnie. Period. Great food, vibes, and beverages - shitty parking. just because it's always busy and hopping!! They are one location I know has more tables than hands working, nothing bad about it - as the service is beyond smiles. Our gem waitress was delightful and conversational, very energetic and fun!!! Love going there and hanging out in the open air tropical, might be in Hawaii vibe. Definitely a great spot for outdoor energetic people and atmosphere!! Stoopid sauce is spicy, you are warned, it's good but has a kick!! read more

The food was great, plus the timing, theres nothing to complain about that. The service was meh. Our waitress seemed very off. I told her I wanted a shareable side as my meal, then repeated. Then my meal came out with appetizer. Our server brought over two other tables food to our table. She had four tables going couldn't even remember what they order likeeee cmon. Then just seemed like she took too many pen rips before the shift. As going to pay she dropped the machine on the table, and seemed like she didn't care for her job. Would come again maybe read more

Good burgers and overall a cool place. However, charging a 20% "Igloo gratuity" for someone to sit outside in April is insane. Waitress made sure to tell me that it was NOT her tip and that the owner kept 100% of the "Igloo gratuity." I won't be back. read more

There are friendly. Great knowledge and great selection of food. Great prices. Great music.

Went on a Saturday, wanted to sit in the igloo.. but they said it was a 20 min wait, some were empty as well but ok. So we waited and about 15 mins later seated us in the tiny bar area! Our waitress was awesome ( not the first girl we encountered she was rude) we ordered And we all enjoyed the food , had the fried chicken aoili cilantro lime chicken sandwich , and a cali burrito & a child's cheeseburger. Place is cute but very small and has a beach vibe. Prices were kinda high. read more

Gorgeous dog friendly patio with lots of colorful flowers created an inviting atmosphere off the bat. We chose to eat inside and it gave major tiki bar beach hut vibes with reggae music playing through the speakers a bit too loudly. We were promptly greeted by Jessie who told us we could sit anywhere. Despite every table being full within 5 minutes of us sitting down, Jessie was back quickly to take our cocktail order and then our food order. She is the only one working inside and is very efficient. Our cocktails were delivered within 2 minutes of being ordered. They were fruity and strong, very refreshing on a hot day. Consistently through the meal she checked on us while also checking on other tables, bussing tables, running plates, making drinks, and delivering them. Jessie is the real MVP of Surfside! Our food was delivered and right away we were delighted by the crispy salt & peppered fries. The chicken sandwich was huge with tender meat, a perfectly cooked fried egg, three types of cheese, onion rings and the star of the show: fried jalapeños. The burger was good, but the bun was too big for the patty. The coleslaw wasn't super flavorful. Overall I wasn't over the moon about the burger, but I ate every bite so clearly I didn't hate it. The only downsides about this meal: - fries are not included with the sandwiches which is pretty standard for this type of fare - garnish doesn't come on the sandwiches, so be sure to ask to add lettuce, tomato, and pickle - higher than average price point - only one restroom which is always occupied and causes a line to form in the dining area Despite the downsides, it was overall a 5 star experience. I'll likely come back for good food and a cool atmosphere. read more

The food here is too expensive and the service is awful. They are rude for no reason! Unfortunately I wont be back.

We had an interesting experience at Surfside Burger Bar after being really excited to dine-in with our dog! We ended up ordering takeout. The food was very good but our experience was sub-par. We called the restaurant around 7pm on a Tuesday and immediately was told "takeout is going to be about an hour wait" so I asked if there is any available seating instead. We were already in Meredith walking the sculpture walk. They said there's a line waiting to get in then hung up. The women on the phone sounded flustered so I assumed they were understaffed, as everyone is. I wanted to order takeout, even with the hour wait, so I called back. Again, they tell me it's going to be an hour, I say it's ok and they transfer me to another person who told me "so you want to order takeout? and you know it's going to be an hour?" It felt like they really didn't want me to order and trying to scare me away. After we place our takeout order, we decide to walk over to see if there's actually a line for a table. Figured we could grab one and change our takeout order if we decided to eat-in. We get there and there's no line. I had a bad feeling about that! We look and there's quite a few tables open for outdoor seating, although it was cloudy and rain was in the forcast. A waitress comes over and I asked if we could grab a table, and explain that I just called and was told there was a line to be seated so we ordered takeout. She looked weary and said "It's about to rain.. are you sure you want to risk it" I understand restaurants are understaffed, but I couldn't have felt more unwelcome there. I wish I could have just cancelled the takeout order we placed. When our food was ready, an hour wait on the dot, we took everything home to eat. Thankfully, the food was very good! I'm not sure if it was an hour wait worthy, but it was tasty. I ordered the Silverback which had bacon,banana, blackberry jam and peanut butter on it. I will ALWAYS order a burger with PB if its on the menu, and this one didn't disappoint. The banana could have been sliced or flambéed, but it worked! The fried pickles could definitely be skipped. The fries & tots were both awesome! It would have been a much more enjoyable experience if we were treated better and if we were able to dine-in, but all in all, the food was very good so I'm giving it 4-stars. I understand times are tough with restaurants being understaffed, so I don't want to knock off stars based on that. The food was also pretty pricey ($13-$15 for just a burger, no sides) but everything is pricey right now... read more

So yummy! And so super filling, but so worth it! We treated ourselves to these bad boys after a hike in the morning and they really hit the spot! The Slightly Stoopid burger has its place on the top of the menu for good reason and had all the makings of a dank burger. It may be slightly stoopid but I'd call it an extra smart choice. The Hangover burger is very similar (same sauce) but is topped with a runny egg, giving it a tasty richness and making an already messy burger a little more messy. If you can embrace the mess and grab some of their house seasoned fries to dip in the aftermath, you're doing something right. Don't expect your food to come out right away--they get busy in the spring and summer and you can't pre-make or rush perfection! read more

The food here is okay, there drinks are really good!! I am a little disappointed because I got one of their salads, and it was tiny for $17 it should at least be able to fill me up. So a little disappointed! read more

Got to sit in an igloo in the front of the restaurant. So cool and toasty! Food was absolutely delicious and the service was top notch. Super friendly with great vibes and food. Fried pickles and jalapeños really hit the spot and the Surfie Turf Burrito was delicious and one of my favorite burritos now. It's gotta mean something giving that I'm from sunny southern California. I can't wait to come back to the little locals spot again! A must try to anyone in the area! read more

If Hart's is not your thing when visiting Meredith, try this fantastic alternative. Surfside is a great low key spot for burgers, seafood, tacos and a wide menu that doesn't suffer from the variety. The service on the outdoor patio is a great outdoor location for a nice day and staff is always friendly. Portion and price friendly with a good amount of quality food, you'd do yourself a favor trying this place out. read more

The shredded barbecue pork sandwich is insanely good and my husband loved his burger.

Great beach vibe and burgers. Just a note that burgers don't come with fries and need to be ordered separately. But, there's enough in a side order to share with others. Friendly for vegetarians and carnivores! Definitely coming back for a second taste read more

My wife and I have eaten here several times and we're never disappointed! We've had just about everything on the menu; it's all amazing! Staff is always friendly and accommodating. It's a small place, but always clean. Their house made bbq sauce is awesome! You should definitely give this place a try! It's small and usually busy. I recommend calling ahead. Thank you, Surfside, for the full belly and gracious smiles! read more

Great waitress! I ordered the steak taco's. They were awesome! My only complaint is that you have to order your fries separately. For the 17 dollar taco's you should have fries with it in a smaller portion. Other than the fries thing I would have given it 5 stars. read more

We loved this little gem!! Such a charming spot. Better in the summer, I'm sure, but we enjoyed it despite the chilly temps and outdoor seating. There's an awesome vibe, fun music and friendly staff. The food was really good and we would definitely return. read more

Picture this: a beach bar gets transplanted to New Hampshire near the lake. Play reggae music and serve great food. That Is what you get at Surfside. Plenty of parking. Outside seating available in the igloo. We went at night so it was too cold to sit out there. It's very small on the inside, not many tables. Luckily we only waited 5 minutes. The service was a little slow even with only a few tables. The food...amazing. The hamburgers are made with fresh beef from a New Hampshire farm about an hour away. I got the hangover. It comes with cheese, fried jalapeños, peppered bacon, crispy onion ring, chipotle ranch drizzle and topped with a fried egg. After ordering I got a little nervous. I've gotten burgers with egg on it before and they have been runny and gross. That was not the case tonight. All the ingredients complimented each other. The egg runoff mixed in perfectly with the burger. Every bite tasted better than the last. Also got a side order of fries and onion rings. The fries were very crispy and seasoned. The onion rings were almost like frizzles. Cut very thin in a circle and battered. Each would have been a great combination with the burger, luckily I had both. I'm still in town for the rest of the week. I'll be back (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice). read more
