“We’ve had a home on the lake for more than 50 years and, this evening, is the first time we visited this outstanding, hidden gem, fun, vibrant, wonderful, restaurant. Our server, Pam, is beyond superb… Friendly, great sense of humor, faster than greased lightning, and the food was tremendous. We were in and out in 35 minutes, the food was delivered piping hot to our table, delivered to us faster than we had time to close the menu after ordering, wonderful place and we will return many times again. Thank you MountainView. restaurant team!“

“Leslie and her team are phenomenal! Off the charts amazing. We first meet Leslie to taste test our wedding menu, we were pretty boring just saying we wanted tacos, we got to her adorable place and she had different kinds of meat, the fixings, cold corn salad, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and gosh it was all so good. Leslie was very responsive and her team showed up timely and set up and they were so friendly. they served buffet style and cleared tables for us. They packed up all the left over food and told me where they put It and the cleaned up like spotless, you never would’ve known they were there! The food was amazing and I tell everyone about Ballroom Catering! Thank you Leslie and team!“

“We LOVE the food here! It’s not your average overpriced fast food restaurant. The dinners taste like something your grandmother would make in her kitchen who is also a professional chef.

“We usually get the chicken sandwiches but after reading farmer Dave’s info about his burgers ,we had to try them. We went with the route 16 classic cheeseburgers added bacon and we were NOT disappointed. They were cooked and seasoned perfectly. I upgraded to onion rings and those were excellent as well.“

“My kid loved the Dock side Burgers. Twice we went . We are heading back to Texas, but we will be back for another summer since my grandparents have a lake house in Wolfeboro. Thanks for the great service and food!!!!“

“Great food, slow service, but worth the stop\n\nWe were a group of five staying nearby and looking for a good local spot to get dinner before settling in. This place popped up with several great reviews, so we gave it a shot. The food definitely delivered!\n\nWe ordered the sampler (with double chicken tenders and potato skimmers), two orders of mozzarella sticks, and the mac & cheese with ribs. Everything came out hot and packed with flavor. We even got onion rings which we didn’t order but were happy to see. Total comfort food and worth the wait. I also had the Painkiller cocktail, which was strong but definitely hit the spot.\n\nThat said, service was slow across the board. It took a while just to get acknowledged, then more time to get drinks, even more for the food, and the bill took a while too. They were clearly busy, and our server Jen was friendly and attentive when she was with us, but the wait times added up.\n\nThe atmosphere felt very “homey” kind of like a small town hangout where everyone knows each other. As someone who rocks an afro, I definitely stood out, the place lacked diversity and that was noticeable. Still, we didn’t feel unwelcome, just very aware of it.\n\nOverall, it’s a cozy, homey spot with great food. Just go in knowing it might be a slow-paced experience, especially on a busy night.“

“hot foods all day! ready to eat meals! beer and snacks! Great employees!“

“Love the Pub! Great food, prices, atmosphere service has always been the best! The 2 white Retriever's out front are pretty incredible too!“

“Fantastic food from appetizers, main dish and dessert. Plenty of delicious drinks on the menu. Jennifer our server was amazing.“

“I don’t know who is running Burnt Timber, but they deserve some sort of award. I walked in exhausted, running on fumes, and somehow left feeling like I’d just come back from a week-long vacation.

First of all, the owner… whoever approved that hat deserves a raise. It instantly transported me to a beach bar in Havana where my only responsibility was deciding whether to order another drink. I can’t explain it, but the hat has powers.

The atmosphere is absolutely electric. I went from wanting a nap to wondering if I should cancel the rest of my day and just hang out there forever.

The staff? Somehow they assembled the Avengers of hospitality. It felt like every favorite bartender, server, and personality from all the best spots around town got together and decided to create the ultimate dream team. Friendly, hilarious, attentive, and somehow making it all look effortless.

If you’re looking for average, keep driving. If you’re looking for incredible food, unforgettable vibes, and an experience that makes you question whether you’ve accidentally been transported somewhere in Havanna that’s much cooler than your hometown… Burnt Timber is the place.

Five stars. Six if the hat is there.“

“Had lunch here by the water, and then back for free event and met Kenny Bania. The bar was busy but the staff did a fantastic job.“

“They are now making the best thin crust pizza anywhere. But if you want a classic toasted Italian sub, don't order it here. Maybe they grew up in someplace other than the east coast, but even with coaching, they don't know what "toasted" is, where the bun gets a bit crunchy, the cheese is well melted and the meat is hot and losing its juices to the bun. Like another poster described, very much like a Market Basket sandwich.“

“Been going to this tavern for years. Unfortunately the last few times have been disappointing but our visit last night was exceptional. The food was fantastic, the general manager was a true hospitality professional. We are already looking forward to our next visit.“
