    We went early and had to wait about 15 minutes The place is very small with 8 booths and around 10 seats at the counter. There was a line whenever we walked by so figured we would give it shot. Not sure what all the 5 star reviews are about. First of all the coffee was hot and the service was good. I had 2 eggs with bacon, home fries and waffles. My wife had waffles. She got the "standard" syrup while opted for the New Hampshire maple syrup which was an additional $2 which was better than the "standard". Can't mess up eggs too much and the bacon was good. However the home fries had no seasoning and were not crispy at all. They were more like boiled potatoes. The waffles? What can I say. They appeared to be L'Eggo waffles that they fried. Not very appealing or crispy. There were people waiting for up to 30 minutes. Definitely not worth the wait in my opinion. We won't be back.

    Always amazing food and service here. We brought friends to enjoy breakfast here. They were very pleased and left with full bellies.

    We are passing through and are so happy to have found this place. The staff is friendly and the food was incredible! This was a fabulous breakfast experience. If it's available, get the surf and turf Benedict. It blew my mind!

    The Bay Diner is tucked away on Main Street in Wolfeboro

    Once upon a time it was called "The Mast Landing..." Then for a long time it went by the name "The Farmer's Kitchen..." Now it's "The Bay Diner..." Same great diner food and friendly service. This place is POPULAR. If you show up after 7 AM, BETTER BE PREPARED TO WAIT!

    Mimosa!!

The Steak Bomb was delicious! Chips crunchy and flavorful. Side salad freshly prepared. And, of course, they got the Arnold Palmer right. Swing in some time!

    We were heading into Wolfeboro on a recent Sunday, thinking either The Bay Diner or Katies, and…read morehoping not to have to wait for a table (it was around zero outside). Yelp showed The Sand Trap as a breakfast option right before we drove by the Kingswood Golf Club, and I mentioned to my wife that I'd heard of their restaurant serving dinner but not breakfast. We called the number and they confirmed they were "open right now, for breakfast," and gave us directions (turn on to Kingswood Rd, and they're .1 miles down on the left). There were only two cars in the small lot, and the adjacent L-Shaped white building didn't say "Sand Trap," but a sign did say "Restaurant," so we thought it must be the place. Entering from the back, there was only one other party there, sitting at a high top in the bar area, and we were quickly greeted and told to sit anywhere. We chose a table up against a soft couch/bench and settled in to read the menu. Despite the bitterly cold weather outside, the inside was very comfortable (warm), and the menu was interesting. In addition to the usual breakfast offerings (e.g., omelets, eggs, pancakes) they offered Benedicts as usual (2 poached eggs) as well as a junior version (one poached egg). Benedicts can be filling (hollandaise IS butter and yolk) so I opted for a junior version of the "Kingswood:" Bacon, Avocado and Tomato, while my wife ordered a Cheese, Onion and Spinach omelet. The food arrived quickly, and after a couple bites she declared that her omelet was AMAZING. It was very fluffy ("how do they DO that"), with just enough melted American cheese and fresh wilted spinach. She even said it was "better than Wade's," our never-before-topped gold standard from a diner in Oswego, NY. that makes incredible cheese omelets. Me, disbelieving: "Really? Wife: "Yes, really." That's high praise. My Benedict was equally good. Halfway through I realized there was no toasted English Muffin (menu had hinted at that), but the fresh Avocado - a generous amount -, crisp bacon, tomato and perfectly poached egg dripping with Hollandaise more than made up for that. All this was served right on top of a serving of seasoned home fries. Although I normally don't like seasoning on potatoes, these were very good. In summary, our breakfast was better than we'd expected to get at either The Bay Diner or Katies, both of which serve very good food; our wait time was zero, and the room was very comfortable, especially given the weather outside. At this writing the Sand Trap has only one other Yelp review (five stars), and that was for lunch, so ours will make the first breakfast review (also 5 stars). Google has a smattering of positive reviews, so it might not be long before The Sand Trap earns a much deserved reputation as a preferred breakfast option in Wolfeboro. We will certainly be back!

We did not partake in food this time around, but it looked and smelled amazing. The drinks/wine were wonderful. Give them a shot! You won't be disappointed!

I'm going to assume it was the bartender, who was shockingly rude, sarcastic, and disrespectful, to say the very least. Not my first experience with this bartender either. The bartender's and server's at Wolfe's Tavern are absolutely horrible. They have reprehensible attitudes and are colossally rude to customers. I asked for a simple clarification of their operating hours. This man was indignant and impolite, calling me out for bringing a discrepancy to his attention!! Uh..what?! I've been a resident of Wolfeboro, NH, for 70 years. This establishment once stood as the landmark for elegant dining, professional and competent administration and staff, and was respected throughout the Lakes Region. You once had an Executive Chef named "Hoke" many, many years ago...a quintessential gentleman with great culinary expertise, who frequently would come out of the kitchen, go table to table, introduce himself to all the patrons, and ask them if their meals were up to their liking. This man "made" The Wolfeboro Inn, almost singlehandedly. When he resigned because of a difficulty with management, the place plummeted...nearly overnight. Fast forward to August, 2025, and it is now worse than ever. I'd recommend Dunkin' Donuts on Center Street, or The Bay Diner on Main ahead of here. It's no wonder today's bartender refused to give his first name...no doubt fearful of this review(!) or one in The Granite State News, aka "The Grunter."
