We love the Town Docks! We come up to Meredith every year and stay for about 10 days. We come to the Town Docks about 6 out of the 10 days! The food is always fresh, and the customer service is great! Their drink menu is very creative! The wait is never too long because there are so many seating options! Not to mention, the view from any table is a great one! read more

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our waitress always had a smile on her face. The food was great and the menu had a large variety. The atmosphere of the resteraunt felt as if you were on a tropical island. The scenery was perfect for being right next to the water. read more

Had a great experience here! The atmosphere was fun and put you in a good mood immediately. The staff was super friendly and engaging, and the food and drinks were amazing. You could definitely taste the freshness and there were some unique offerings on the menu, plus the portions were gigantic. Thanks for a great night! read more

Town Docks is a waterside restaurant on Lake Winni in Meredith. They have an indoor dining area, but more popular is the outdoor area- picnic tables overlooking the lake. The location is terrific, but the food is mediocre, and somewhat overpriced. Frequently the meat is overcooked; often we don't get quite what we ordered. If you want to sit by the lake, this is a great choice. If you are looking for good eats, there are better options in Meredith. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in town. The service is always friendly and efficient. I have eaten here many times and the food is always good and fresh. Great view of the lake and the vibe is fun with the sand under your feet. Great place to eat a boiled Maine lobster and the trimmings! read more

One word. RIPOFF! I spent $70 for mediocre food including uncooked mussels. This was for two people. For that kind of money it would at least be nice to have real silverware, salt shakers that work and a professional staff. You will be better off at any good seafood road stand. read more

Where to start. : -6 top for early dinner, not that busy. -Three of the orders incorrect, each 3 times. -Drink order wrong twice. -Manager on duty wasn't any older than the waitress, and wait staff very immature in unprofessional: giggling, swearing out loud, fooling around. -Crab cakes were disgusting - frozen mush. -Sangria tasted like watered down punch. -Supposed to break check up into 3 credit cards. -Got home, each credit card was charged full amount, have yet to get it resolved. read more

This is one of the worst seafood restaurants I have ever eaten in. Everything on the Fisherman's platter was mushy and under cooked. The shrimp plate we ordered was the same--simply soggy and barely cooked. And the lobster corn chowder was totally inedible. What lobster? The potatoes were raw and it tasted like it was half butter. Yuck! Expensive bad food. read more

I give it a 4 star for good waterfront atmosphere, good menu selection, and good drink selection. If you have a boat bring it right up to the restaurant and park. It's nothing fancy but has good food and consistent service. read more

Stopped by with friends after work. Food was good. The bartender, Emily, was pretty knowledgable about the beers and pointed us in the right direction. Lots of fun.. A really great local Meredith hangout. read more

Food is always excellent, and the staff is always incredibly nice. My favorite dish on the menu I would recomended to everyone is the Ahi Tuna taco. Rare tuna seared on the outside with a spicy aioli sauce it's to die form read more

Great location and great staff! I decided to try the toasted butter lobster roll instead of the traditional style. I was pretty disappointed. No large pieces of lobster just ground up and very dry. I was thinking it would be cooked in the butter then put in the bun but no, you pour the butter on yourself after. The overall taste was so bland and now with a soggy bun due to the butter. Kicking myself for choosing this. My husband was not overly impressed with the regular lobster roll. Same ground up lobster (texture like tuna salad). The drinks were fun and the outdoor setting is great. Will go back and try something not in the lobster roll family to give this place a fair shot. :) read more

Sat outside by the water and had a really nice lunch. Typical, good Common Man food. Lots of options for me as a vegetarian who does not eat seafood. Setting was casual outside, picnic tables with a sand floor and a great view of the Mount Washington coming in to dock. read more

Nice place to stop for food while on the boat. Food is okay, service could be better. I don't recommend sitting at tables with umbrellas. A caterpillar fell from umbrella into my food. Now I am very careful about where I sit while eating. read more

This a great place to go . It's very family friendly and kids love the sand !!! And with the view is amazing as it's right on the water. You can take a boat or car to it. And when your done you can grab ice cream on your way out. read more

We have been coming here for a few years on vacation, staying at the hotel connected to restaurant. Food is usually amazing(best hot lobster rolls ever!) however last night my husband, 2 yr old son and I had dinner, ordered kids Mac and cheese, lobster tacos, and mahi mahi tacos. Food was good, service excellent, paid bill and left. Two hours later all three of us are vomiting in our hotel room! So it was either the Mac and cheese or my guess the mahi mahi tacos (we all shared these items). Ruined our last night on vacation. Very very upset because we went back the next morning before we left to see if we could speak with manager but they weren't open and we had to get on the road ) we are from NY) read more

Terrible cooks. They don't pay attention to the customer. Poor service. Great location though!

Very slow service for a counter order place serving stuff that is largely quick cooking or quick assemble (salads, lobster rolls, sandwiches, etc). If you have hungry kids I would avoid this place, they'll be in full meltdown by the time you get your food, 40 min after ordering. My group of five ordered at the same time, about 10 min after sitting down, my food arrived. 25 min later, the next two dishes arrived. 40 min after ordering, still waiting on thr last two dishes (soup, salad, and a hamburger). Food is fine when it finally arrives, but kitchen clearly way too small to accommodate the size of the restaurant and the summer crowds. Pretty disappointing. read more

I like the view. The people are nice but I had the worst clam chowder of my life. It had nothing in it but potatoes. I was very disappointed. I came here once before for lobster and it was great. I will never order chowder again read more

It was raining so we ate inside. The food was ok, nothing great. The service was kind of slow and the prices were a little high but overall it was an ok dinner. I would not rush back though. read more

The fries were crispy but the fish was cold, and we waited so long for the food to come out that we had to order breakfast after

Dined outdoors on a Friday night, long holiday weekend around 8 p. Our waitress came pretty quickly to take our drink orders as we decided on our dinner selection. There were 5 of us and two ordered the veggie burger, two burgers and me, the ahi tuna tacos. It took well over 30 minutes for our meals (which we would consider sandwiches) and not as long to prepare as some of the entrees. It was busy but as we waited, the restaurant cleared out considerably. The two veggie burgers and one of the regular burgers were cooked perfectly and my friends were pleased. One burger ordered medium rare came well cooked so it was returned and when we called the waitress over to tell her, she looked at us with a blank stare so my friend said "I can't eat it" so she took it back to the kitchen. The ahi tuna tacos were disappointing. I should have know that sushi grade tuna was going to come lightly cooked (if cooked at all) so with my first bite, I expected warm or hot tuna but it was cold. I should have ordered a burger. The fries that came with my tacos were good but a bit on the cold side. While my friend was waiting for her 2nd burger to be prepared, a skunk appeared within 5 feet of our table. It did not seem alarmed people. We made some noise and it retreated behind a garbage can for a few seconds to only come out again. We decided to pick up and move to the bar where some seats had opened up. When we took our seat at the bar, the bartender commented that the skunk is a "regular" and hasn't sprayed any guests ... yet. My friend's burger finally arrived and this time, it was cooked medium rare as she had originally requested. It was very good but having to wait while the rest of us ate our meals ruined the "experience". Our waitress was a little clueless and wasn't very attentive. Another waitress stopped by and we assumed she was a supervisor based on her demeanor and she was also not alarmed by the skunk which was still lurking around. We are all fans of the Common Man chain but this one was a disappointment. Don't think we'll be back when we're in the area again. read more

Ugh. I went here for lunch with my husband today. It was so disappointing. We entered through the "main entrance" but when we asked to sit inside we were directed to the "south beach" section. When we arrived it was deserted. We found a server who said we could sit there but then no one paid attention to us, even though 2 servers used the computer right next to us. As I was about to give up and leave a waiter came over to take our sink orders. We ordered everything at once. I got a gingerale that tasted like water. After about 35 minutes our sub par lunch arrived. My chicken sandwich was so dry and was missing ingredients my husbands fish left something to be desired. Our waiter was oblivious. So frustrating. I expected to love it like I have always loved the Common Man but this was terrible. read more

Town Docks is such a fun restaurant for a warm summers day. The seating outside is especially great with your toes in the sand, and great view of the boats on the lake. The menu ranges from casual foods such as burgers, to seafood selections like lobster rolls and fish sandwiches; all of which are quite tasty. They have a unique cocktail menu with all kinds of fun creations. There tends to be a wait throughout the day here, but it isn't too bad earlier in the day. All of the staff are friendly and warm when they greet you. The colorful decor and beachy vibe makes it one of my favorite places to eat in the summertime. read more

Last year, we came to town docks and my mom got food poisoning. This year, we went to town docks to get take out for dinner. It took them 25 minutes to make it. We ordered: lobster corn chowder, caesar salad and a lobster salad. When we got home, the lobster salad had NO lobster on it, and the potatoes in the lobster corn chowder were severely undercooked. read more

We went for ice cream on Sunday. They did a good job taking everyone's order but getting the ice cream is another story. Placed order and then Waited for 15/20 as the girl called out flavors. They never gave anyone a number of took a name. Very disorganized. If you happen to order the same thing as someone else the server has no idea who's is who's and neither do the customers. Need to fix your process. read more

When you walk into Town Docks on a sunny summer day, it just reminds you of an Ocean-side restaurant in Florida, even though you're actually in Meredith, New Hampshire. WIth it's lakeside tables on a sandy dock, and it's outdoor bars with music, this restaurant is one of the most popular during the summer months. If you're visiting Meredith, you will visit Town Docks for one of three reasons. You either love seafood, you love the homemade ice cream, or you really just want to go to an outdoor bar on a warm, blue skies day The seafood, which Town Docks is most well known for, is very good, for the most part. If you go to Town Docks on a quiet afternoon, the seafood is great, the wait is short, and the food is cooked well. The buttered lobster rolls, one of the highlights of the restaurants, seems to live up to its expectations. The lobster, after being cooked for a fair amount of time, is dipped into warm butter and presented in a toasted bun. The normal buttered lobster roll comes at $20.99, and the jumbo lobster roll goes for $35.99. Another highlight is the fisherman's platter: a mix of fried calamari, fried clams, and fried scallops. This plate is one of the favorites due to it's variety of options it comes in. It can come as an app or entree, and can serve multiple people with different fried seafoods. However, not every meal served at Town Docks is served with it highest quality. When the tourist season kicks in, mistakes seem to occur. Due to the kitchen's very young staff, mostly high schoolers looking for summer jobs, not everyone has become accustomed to the pressures of the job, and it can cause problems. During the multiple times I visited Town Docks this summer, I saw multiple major errors made on orders. On three separate occasions a customer, including myself once, was given extremely undercooked food, i'm talking the center of my haddock still frozen. Now if I saw this only once, or even twice, I wouldn't be worried. Seeing that I visited about five separate times to eat, and three of those five having major cooking areas, that's my first red light. My second red light is how long the wait for takeout is, I was not given my food until almost 45 minutes on both times I had takeout. When I went to go eat after, my food was cold as if it had not been sitting under a heat lamp, which is what is supposed to be done when there are longer waits for food. The food is also not displayed as nicely when it comes in takeout form. I ordered mac and cheese and when my bag came out with my food in it, I found the lid on my mac and cheese not sealed, and cheese sauce flowing all over the rest of the bag and food. My final red light that really dropped my standards for Town Docks was the low quality of the foods other than seafood. Town Docks also does dishes like burgers, mac and cheese, tenders, salads, soups, corn fritters, and more. The problem is, none of them are very good. The corn fritters come pre bagged and are fried for only 90 seconds, they come either much too hot or too cold, and shouldn't be served as an entree. The tenders are a hit or miss, you can get great tenders, or you can get a slimey battered, undercooked slob of tenders. The part that makes me most angry is the salads. The salads are supposed to be served with the dressing mixed into the salad, unless asked for on the side. Every time I went there and a friend or family member ordered a salad, the dressing was just poured around in a circle once. I recommend sticking to seafood at Town Docks. In the end, I came to find that Town Docks is a restaurant that is very high or low quality, it's a hit or miss type of restaurant. For that main reason, I don't believe I would recommend Town Docks as my top choice. read more

Poor service, barely average food, and pricey. This place might impress those from far-away places; but as a NewEnglander, this is disappointing. read more

had lunch there yesterday. Ate outside with a great view of the lake. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and server was nice and very polite, Had the crab cake sandwich and it was delicious. A very easy walk along the boardwalk from the church landing. They have a really nice outdoor bar as well. Will def. return here. read more

If you go here, DEFINITELY get the outdoor seating, although shade is often necessary. This summer (not sure when else they have it), try the Watermelon Bowl drink, which has watermelon, strawberries, pina colada mix, and rum all blended together and put in a half of a watermelon. It's perfect for the summer and very refreshing. This place has one of the best locations on the lake, and the service is quick and friendly enough. read more

Greta fried food and ice cream right on the water! Must visit! Always good crowds enjoying life!

Great spot for a beachy margaritaville atmosphere. Stopped in for apps after paddle boarding and they were pretty good, we got calamari and crab cakes. Calamari was average, crab cake was really tasty. Our waitress was friendly and timely. Got a fun drink (tho I don't think much liquor went in it) but it was whimsical and tasty! read more

We got there right before they stopped serving and I think they rushed everything. The burger was so-so. The homemade onion rings were the bottom of the batch, clearly not made with care. All of the utensils and plates are disposable. Not very Eco friendly. Good place to get a drink but I'd stick to that. read more

Third time in three years my husband and I have been here on vacation. Food is generally ok. I tried the special pulled pork chimichangas- would not recommend. My sweet potato fries were excellent. Husbands fish n chips were okay. Buffalo tenders were good. Worst margarita ever. Service was very good. Long story short. For the money we will go elsewhere next time but may be back. Btw great for families with little ones as the whole center of the outdoor area is sand with toys. Great way to wait for a meal if you are a kid! read more

Great for kids. Lots to do outside. Good variety on the menu. Handled our party of ten without stress.

Town Docks is a great beach casual american seafood place. They have something for everyone, and it's all great. We had a lobster roll and crab cake. He had a corona and I had something grape-y. It was fun and tasty. Friendly staff and 90s music lend to the laid back beach vibe of this restaurant. They also have ice cream. read more

Good food, great view, wonderful and friendly service by our waitress Sarah. I had the lobster roll with butter and a side of corn on the cob. Hubby had the seafood platter. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. read more

Really?!? $6 for fried pickles??? It was literally 1/2 a pickle cut 5 ways $20 for a lobster roll too much money. I get there's a view but I've paid less on the beach in Hawaii for a pile of pickles read more

We boated to Town Dock, had a pretty short wait for 6 people in the shade/ the staff was attentive and friendly and all of us enjoyed our lunch as well as the atmosphere, drinks and view! A must! read more

We didn't eat here - we went to the window for ice cream. It was some of the best ice cream I've ever had! The lemon ice cream was perfect for a late summer eve, especially eaten while sitting on a bench watching the people and boats go by. The restaurant itself also looks good. There was a small line of folks waiting to be seated. Diners sit at picnic tables, with sand beneath their feet, overlooking the water. The food and drinks we was all looked delicious. Next time we'll try the food:) read more
