HISTORY OF EATING PLACES
Karl’s
Karl’s was located at the intersection of Routes 3 and 11B in Weirs Beach. The restaurant, named after owner Karl Stierle, opened on June 11, 1958. In 1998, the restaurant was sold and renamed Crossroads. The building burned on October 21, 2005. The empty parcel then became a parking lot for the next 20 years. In 2024, a project to redevelop the property has been partly approved. The proposed development would include 27 condos in a 5-story building.
The Windmill
The Windmill Restaurant, at #155 Lake St, was tucked into a corner at the intersection of Weirs Boulevard, White Oaks Road, and Lake St, 3 miles from Weirs Beach. The restaurant was opened in 1949 by Duane H. Thomas. In 1969, the original, 1-story building was replaced with a 2-story structure. In the 1970s, a third story, housing the Wooden Shoe Lounge, was added to the building. The Thomas family sold the business in 1986. It operated as the renamed, “Dante” restaurant for another 3 years, until 1989, when it became a paint supply store. It is currently a real estate office.

The Lobster Pound
The Lobster Pound was best known of the many restaurants, and many buildings, at this location in Weirs Beach. It was first a Howard Johnson’s, from 1947 through the early 1980s. Then it was sold and became the Gandy Dancer, which burned down on October 7, 1984. A modest, 1-story building was then built, the Lobster Pound, which remained at the location until October 15, 2014. The Lobster Pound building was torn down and replaced by the 1.5-story Faro Italian Grille. In 2023, the name was changed to the 70 North Kitchen & Market. Plans for 2025 are for a new barbeque restaurant, to be called The Alamo.
