Best of the Lakes Region

Earlier this month, New Hampshire magazine published its annual “Best of New Hampshire” issue. It’s always fun to see how the Lakes Region fares against other parts of the state… Although we’re also always puzzled with some of the choices. (For instance, how can the best oriental food restaurant in New Hampshire not be the China Bistro in Weirs Beach? It’s been named one of the best Chinese food restaurants in America with the nation’s best crab ragoon. And how can Burrito Me in Plymouth and Laconia not be cited for best Mexican food?)

In recent years, the awards have been gone to overall state winners as well as regional winners; some are chosen by a poll of the magazine's readers, some by the editors.

Here are the 2012 "Best" food awards.

Local Cheesemaker: The Sandwich Creamery in Sandwich makes cheeses like cheddar, brie, coulommier, jersey jack and caerphilly by hand in small batches.

Shaker Donuts: What’s not to love about these yeast-raised donuts based on the original Shaker recipe? The secret is mashed potatoes. Get ‘em cooked fresh to order for brunch at Greenwood’s at the Canterbury Shaker Village.

Lakes Region Favorite Restaurant: Hart’s Turkey Farm in Meredith has been owned and operated by the Hart family since 1954. Today, the restaurant serves Thanksgiving staples all year long.

Lakes Region Favorite Restaurant (Local Chain): The Common Man in Ashland is the chain’s flagship location, open since 1971. It’s a wonderful local classic. (More C-Man awards to follow.)

Sunday Brunch (Local Chain): The Common Man provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere and a vast array of choices for Sunday brunch.

Hamburger (Local chain): Get your burger just the way you want it at T-BONES Great American Eatery in Laconia. And don’t forget to try the homemade potato chips!

Onion Rings (Local Chain): Start off a great meal with T-BONES’ signature tower of hand-battered onion rings.

Wings (Local Chain): Try not to get too messy with T-BONES’ fall-off-the-bone wings! They aim to please.

Onion Rings (Regional Chain): Enjoy a great seafood meal paired with delicious onion rings at the Weathervane in Weirs Beach.

Children’s Menu (Local Chain): T-BONES has a kids’ menu that ranges from salmon to chicken fingers. It even offers alcohol-free mocktails like the Roy Rogers and Shirley Temples.

Children’s Menu (National Chain): Friendly’s in Laconia has a children’s menu large enough to rival the main menu, but if all else fails, the huge selection of ice cream will put a smile on your little one’s face.

Caesar Salad (Local Chain): Start off an Italian meal with an appetizing Caesar salad at Fratello’s Italian Grille in Laconia.

Italian Restaurant (Local Chain): Fratello’s Italian Grille’s casual American-Italian food makes it an excellent choice for a family dinner or a special date night alike.

Pizzeria (National Chain): For the biggest slice around, head to Sal’s Pizza in the Belknap Mall in Belmont . You’ll leave feeling fufilled, guaranteed.

Pizzeria (Regional Chain): Papa Gino’s pizza is made from an old Valerio family recipe that originated in Italy, which means it’s some of the most authentic slices around. The local establishment is in the McIntyre Circle area of Gilford.

Lake Region Coffee Shop: Ossipee’s Black Bear Café boasts fresh brews from Black Bear Micro Roastery Coffees in Tuftonboro.
Cup of Coffee (National Chain): America - or at least New Hampshire - really does run on Dunkin’. Dunkin’ Donuts has become a New England staple by serving up fast, piping hot coffee as well as many types of pastries.

Lakes Region Ice Cream: A trip to Weirs Beach wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Kellerhaus. Bonus points if you can drop by on $1 cone Wednesday.

Delicatessen: Catch the game or grab a generous deli sandwich to bring home at Biederman’s Deli and Pub in Plymouth.

Diner: Take a flash back to the 1950s at the Tilt’n Diner in Tilton. Serving all of the classic options, you’ll get a true experience of what a diner should be.

Chili (National Chain): You might not expect the chili to be great at a fast food restaurant, but Wendy’s proves that wrong. Served fresh and hot every time, it’s a great meal when you’re on the go.
