The Big Catch - Bristol

Location, location, location. First thing that makes this restaurant unique among eating venues in the Lakes region. Beautiful veranda by the lake, separated from the lake, only by one parking role and the boat docks. Perfect place to have a leisurely lunch, boat watch, people watch, and just relax and look at the scenery. We came over here after an almost full day at the beach in the state park. And of course we were ravenously hungry. They're local beer selection is quite good. Then, we had their basket of clams, my partner had a delicious, huge cheeseburger, and I had a tantalizing lobster roll. It was tasty, well presented, and by the way, the claims were absolutely delicious. Definitely a must go place for a traveler to the newfound lake area.

So this would have had a 5 star review from me until I decided to go back to get ice cream after we got food. The manager, Paul, came over and scolded his staff for not properly scraping out remaining bits of ice cream from a container and discarding it. Instead of simply speaking with the employee, he proceeded to yell at her and threaten to take the money out of her paycheck. Another staff member spoke up and said it was the girls second day and she didn't know. The entire customer base heard this. Unnecessary and embarrassing. I will not go back to a place where the staff are treated like ****.

Very convenient if you are at the beach. The inside has a good vibe, however, most of the food is sub-par. For example, the onion rings taste like cardboard. The only items I like are the chicken Philly and the scollop basket. They also have a takeout window for ice cream. It's Giffords ice cream, which is very good! I will continue to come back for the convenience.

Great place for seafood salad burgers and great specials. Nice patio that overlooks the lake.

An excellent spot for lunch or dinner. Good food and service in a low scale atmosphere with a beautiful view of Newfound Lake.Wide selection of seafood items as well as standard variety hamburgers, sandwiches etc. You might have to wait for a table but we'll worth it and the prices are very reasonable.
