Tamarack Restaurant, Laconia

My husband and I were looking forward to the April 2007 season reopening after a long winter without a 'superior' lobster roll, but were shocked and disappointed when we received our order. What used to be a great and unique lobster roll is now merely ordinary. If you were a fan of the old lobster rolls, don't waste your time or money on the new version. Far inferior. No langostino's included, and very little watery mayo. Lobster meat tasted frozen. It did not justify the $36 price we paid for 1 regular & 1 large lobster rolls, with 1 medium soda. Upon leaving the parking lot, I read a sign that notified customers of the change in ownership. BRING BACK THE OLD LOBSTER ROLL FORMULA!!! That was worth the price.

We went this weekend (4/07) waited 48 minutes (and there was a only a few orders ahead of us) for a small order of onion rings and a chocolate frappe that was chocolate milk. Asked for a new frappe and server was clearly annoyed. Everyone was waiting at least 40minutes and this was NOT even close to a busy day. Cost was almost $10. Servers never apologized, we wont go back again. Recent new ownership, they do not have their act together.

Terrible food; greasy, cold; way too expensive. Not even real lobster!

This is the best summer place to eat with your family. From french fries to lobster rolls and oh yes, creamy,cold, ice cream shakes! The service and people are great, and location...perfect!

I never understood how so many people could like this place. People who think this is good food, don't know good food. The Lobster Roll is made with langostino, but still priced as actual choice lobster. The fried food is way too greasy. The burgers are skimpy. And prices are through the roof.

This is the best summer spot to visit for a Lobster Roll, or the Fried Clams. The French Fries leave a bit to be desired but whatever else you order makes up for it.
