We went to Danforth Bay for Labor Day weekend, and had a great time.
Sunday, we took a drive down the backroads toward Wakefield, NH. We figured we would check out the Miss Wakefield Diner. It was always so busy when we have driven by on our trips home from the Ossipee area, so we figured it might be a good spot for our dinner.
It was not crowded when we arrived, so we immediately sat at a booth. The restaurant is an authentic old diner, with diner food on the menu. Breakfast, sandwiches, pasta, fried seafood, burgers, Salisbury steak, etc. I had been in the mood for Italian food for days, so I decided to give the lasagna & meatballs a try. Mike ordered fried scallops.
We normally order ice water for beverages, but it is clearly listed on the menu that they only serve bottled water (75 cents); so, I ordered a bottle of water, and Mike decided to go for their private label Birch Beer.
My lasagna included a salad, which arrived before our meals, and it was delicious. No iceberg lettuce (yuck) - just some fresh green romaine lettuce, with tomatoes, onions, and I think cukes. If I were to guess, I think the salad veggies were fresh from a local farm. Shortly after, our dinners were served. Mike’s scallops were a heaping helping, with french fries and cole slaw. I mooched a scallop and it was very sweet and tasty. Mike enjoyed his meal.
My lasagna looked wonderful, and with my first bite, I was so happy. But the more I ate, the more I decided that the sauce was too tomatoe-ish. Or maybe they just put too much sauce on the lasagna. I am a huge lover of tomato sauce, but I really couldn’t put my finger on what I didn’t like about this. The garlic toast was so-so, basically just some thick butter toast. I didn’t taste garlic. I would have been happy if they sprinkled on some garlic powder even!
My conclusion is I don’t think they have a flair for Italian food, but I would definitely go back for a second trip. I wish they had more “diner” food on the menu, like a meatloaf dinner (they did have a meatloaf sandwich). There was a lot to choose from, and I think I would have been happier if I ordered a different meal.
The MIss Wakefield Diner is located on Route 16 in Sanborntonville, New Hampshire. Give them a try!
