    The platter. Too expensive for the small amount of food on the small plate. With tip, what you see in the picture was $85! Too much.
    Gary M.

    Quaint little place in a very touristy part of NH. I'd like to rate this place 2 1/2 stars but you know the drill. When you call something a "platter" , I expect a mound of food that is difficult to finish. Unfortunately, that's not what we got. The platter came with two small pieces of haddock, each smaller than a deck of cards, 5 small shrimp, and 4 small to medium size scallops. For size comparison, look at the size of the paper condiment cups and lemon wedges next to the seafood. The amount of waffle fries on the plate could fit in one of my wife's tiny hands. The food was hot, fresh, and tasty but I just can't get past the food to price ratio. The lobster roll was very good with a large amount of meat , but still a little pricey. It was a much better value even though I thought it was over priced. It contained the right amount of mayo and not too much celery. The service was friendly and attentive. 5* to the server. I hate giving such a low review for decent food, but for the same cost I could have eaten at a much nicer restaurant down the street.

    Have had many different kinds of cheese accompany a hot dog, but this was just shameful. Imagine ordering a cheeseburger (from the same part of the menu as the hot dog) and getting a small sprinkle of shredded cheese in a cup... And for $1. Hot dog itself was delicious, bun was good (only thing keeping it from great is that it was an end piece, not my favorite). Chips plentiful.

    Location, location, location. With outdoor seating right on the water, this is the perfect place to sit outside on a sunny breezy day and grab a bite to eat at lunch time. We love coming here to watch the boats. There is also indoor seating. Outdoor seating is dog friendly and the server brought our pup water (without us asking!). Service was very fast and staff was all very friendly. Menu is simple (grill cheeses, hamburgers, sandwiches, and some fried seafood options) but perfect for lunch. We had grilled cheeses, hamburger, BLT, and club sandwiches. The waffle fries are great. All the food we had was very good. They also have a side window for to-go ordering as well as some picnic tables.

    Beautiful view of Wolfeboro Bay with outdoor seating. Chowder was perfect. Waffle fries great too.

    Dockside will always hold a special place in my heart! It is a staple for me and my family. It's a small, casual, and inexpensive restaurant that sits right on the lake. Steps from the town docks, it can be reached by boat or by car. The food is always excellent, and the service is even better! They have the best waffle fries, without a doubt. Whether you're looking to grab a quick lunch or dinner, or even treat yourself to ice cream- Dockside is the place to go! You can take out or sit in. While I love Bailey's Bubble, Dockside's ice cream is on a completely different level of amazing... their S'mores tastes exactly like s'mores and their "Mint Summers Night Dream" is the perfect mix between chocolate and mint. Definitely worth trying if you're in town!!

    This is a "do not miss." Awesome lobster rolls! Sit outside. Bring your dog! I will never be in Wolfeboro without stopping here.

    Update on my review. I had raved about the onion rings and went back today. They were the frozen and over-breaded variety. Such a bummer.

However, the service is spotty and the wait for food is ridiculous. This time, we had a 6:00 pm reservation. We ordered our appetizer and main course at the same time. The main courses also include a salad. I ordered a coke zero and my husband wanted a regular coke. This is the third time that he wanted one and they've been out of regular coke. How the heck do run out of coke... especially since they don't serve alcohol. We finally got our appetizer, the lumpia, which by the way is delicious, 45 minutes later. The salad finally came out 20 minutes later. We asked the waiter about the main course. He said he checked with the kitchen and they said in five minutes. 15 minutes later still waiting. Looking around we noticed that almost every table is dealing with the same issue. Honestly as much as I love the food...I doubt we will be back.

    Far and away the best menu in Wolfeboro, and they have REALLY improved the service, which used to…read morebe pi** poor. Good for them!

But this cool, historic tavern is still alive and well! Come show some local support. We are Rhode Islanders, and have been coming up here for almost 40 years, and this place holds a dear, sweet place in our heart. 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."
