Resturant Review: Avoid Sammy's Paw Print

After a bad thunder, windstorm at Danforth Bay. Several trees down near the Brookside beach (almost hit a tent) we decided just to go out for a late dinner. We had company up so we decided to treat them to Pizza Barn for some good-local Pizza.

However we found out that Pizza Barn was closed due to the POWER outage from the storm.

This led us to Sammy's Paw Print in Tamworth, NH (which had power) - BIG MISTAKE!!!Here are our observations:

Extremely Poor Service:

• Got snickers from the Waitress when our niece was ordering a drink because she didn't know right away.
• No hostess - The one waitress in the entire resturant was very unfriendly and UN-Professional
• Bartender was not friendly either nor did she try to help the waitress out.
• The bar area was not busy at all. - Order for 2 pizzas, fries, onion rings, took well over 1 hour before we got the Pizza. Not fun with a whiny 3 year old.
• Our 2nd round of drinks was not filled for our main course. We had to ask for them to refilled and it took about 10 MORE minutes for them to be brought to us.
• By this time my wife went to the car with our 3 year old who had enough!
• 18% Tip automatically added to our bill because our party was 7 people. (This was a Saturday summer night and they only had 1 waitress!!!)

Confusing Menus

• We were given 2 to 3 menus per person yet there was no drinks listed on any of the menus

Food

• Onion rings were really good.
• French Fries were good.
• Pizza was OK; They advertise as the "Best Pizza in Town". Don't believe it! The pizza is slightly better than White Lakes Pizza but not nearly as good as Pizza Barn. They beat them hands down.

Facilities

• Bathrooms were down right scary. They were dark, ugly yellow tiles 1960s era on the walls.
• Dining room was average but their was paint pealing in places and dust
• Out table was sticky (not properly cleaned) - It makes you think what does the kitchen look like? My wife didn't feel well after eating there the next day

Overall:

• This place has potential but needs a refurbishment (new bathrooms and facelift for dining room)
• They need new waitstaff, hostess, and a new bartender as well as an upgrade on their facilities. The tip should have been more like 5 to 10% but I didn't argue this.

Avoid this place if you are staying at Danforth Bay or the Ossipee area.
