So I went to Fritz's becauseI knew they had a lunch counter a s I wanted a quick lunch and not no GD prepackaged fake fast food... I ordered 2 dogs, mustard relish onion. They way I always get them. They nice lady asked if I wanted Kraut and I said No and she asked a second time and I politely declined again and repeated my order. Just mustard relish and onion.. I didn't get the kraut cuz I'm fussy about kraut. So my 2 long dogs came out and sure enough they had kraut.. I mentioned it and she said she could wipe the kraut off.. I declined and said I'll take them just as they are I was in a rush. 2 long dogs , which I didn't expect I thought they're gonna be regular dogs. They were on a New England bun and the bun was toasted. I had my mustard relish, onion, and they put kraut on it.. so I ate it, and like I said it's not that I don't kraut, but i donnt want it wet. I don't want making my bun soggy and then ruining the experience. To my surprise, this is very good kraut and even though it's cooking in its it juices, they dry it up a little on the grill and get it a little caramelized then they put it on the dog so I'm here to report if you go to Fritzs you're gonna get kraut whether you like it or not, but here's the good news. It's delicious! so go to Fritz get your hotdog have your kraut and enjoy yourself. read more

We used to live coming here when the old waitresses worked there, now? Not so much. The service is slow and at times we were watching and tables that came in long after us were being served before us. Food is ok but the place seems dirty. I'm sad to see it go downhill like this. If I go again it'll be for takeout. read more

Fritz is my absolute favorite. Their chicken rice soup is out of this world judt like my mom used to make. I've tried a lot of their menu and the sandwiches are first rate and filling. Fries are spectacular and salads are Lucious too. Yum!! All the staff is knowledgeable and very caring. Chef is just great. Love love love Fritz's. read more

Service, Coffee, Breakfast, Lobster Roll were Great! Wheelchair Ramp on lest side of restaurant.

Wanted to come here for quite awhile, drove by and saw a filled parking lot, and thought i was missing out. Turns out, i was not, and won't be going back. To start, soon after sitting down in a corner 4 top, i notice a dirty rag sitting on the rail beside my head. I ask a gentleman who looked to be busing tables if he could move it - he moved it about 3 feet, on the same railing - when i asked again, he moved to the same railing, albeit on the bar side of the space. And did it all with a glare, not exactly a warm feeling generated. As for the food, some was serviceable - a western omelet bagel sandwich (plain bagels only being offered) was ok, altho when we asked for cheddar, what was served was the most mild cheddar (if it was), tasting far more like american cheese. French toast had a very thin coating of egg, seemingly just to add color. The 2 Sausage patties were thin, and a tad saw-dusty. But again, what stands out to me is the dirty rag and the glare directed at me - should have trusted my first instinct and walked out. read more

This is a great small town family diner that I would highly suggest for some quick and yummy food. For a snack shop, they have a plentiful amount of breakfast and lunch options, spanning from French toast to hot dogs to salads. Once you enter you are able to seat yourself in either booths or tables and a waitress or waiter will quickly tend to you. The food comes out quick and is delicious. Often going for breakfast, my favorite food item to order is their chocolate chip pancakes - they are soft, fluffy, and have the perfect amount of chocolate chips. Once you are done with your meal, you check out at the front cash register with your receipt. Super convenient! read more

Ok maybe this review is cheating, but my wife and her friend took their daughters while I was at work and since I've lived in Oxford for 3-1/2 years but never been here asked for photos and feedback so I can leave a review. Good - Food was fantastic, portions were large, they were sat relatively quickly. Bad - Service was slow. After 15 minutes they had to ask the waitress if they could order drinks, which took another 10 minutes to arrive. I'd still like to be able to go for myself sometime. read more

We were looking for a light dinner before doing some shopping, so we stopped into Fritz's, which we were always curious to try. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but I couldn't help but be a little grossed out when we were handed menus that I watched come directly from another table of people, and they were not disinfected. I wouldn't usually be bothered by that, but with COVID being as bad as it is right now, I was a little skeeved. The pastrami Reuben and BLT were fine, and the menu was about what you would expect for a snack bar. We did order some fries on the side that looked like they were cooked in old oil, but they tasted okay. Overall, it was average here, and I would probably only come back to try breakfast. read more

I order a hotdog with chili one day and when I picked it up I took one bite and realized it was canned chili to taste like dog food so take it from me and don't ever order a chili dog from Fritz a snack bar. Three weeks ago my buddy went there and had breakfast he ordered a vegetable omelette he got stuck in his throat he went outside and puked ended up in Hartford hospital for two weeks over that nobody even went near him to help him they just left them outside to throw up blood all over the parking lot so stay away from Fritz's snack bar that place sucks. read more

If I could leave more stars, I would, after coming more than a handful of times, I can say the food is consistently delicious. The omelets and home fries are all so homemade and fresh. For the price as well, it's so reasonable and big portions. The staff really has everything under control and go above and beyond to accommodate since they're always so busy!! read more

My family has been going to this place for years. Inside there are tables, booths and a counter. There is also an outdoor area where you can order at the window. You can get breakfast all day. Their lunch menu runs the gambit from hot dogs to Caesar salad to fish & chips to meatloaf. I can honestly say that I've never had a bad meal here and the coffee is good. It can get busy but service is typically friendly and fast enough. It's the kind of place with regulars where everybody knows your name. read more

Fritz's Snack Bar - Egg sandwich on a hard roll ($2.85). Add cheese (+$1) or meat (+extra) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oxford, Connecticut

I've lived in Seymour for over 20 years, and today was my first time trying this place. After today's experience, I'm upset I never stopped in earlier. Unlike most diners, all the breakfast dishes are a la carte. They have a great breakfast and lunch selection of typical diner fare, minus the Greek dishes. The atmosphere makes you feel as though you're in a small Midwest town, it's cute, warm and friendly. I ordered a short stack of banana pancakes with a side of corned beef hash and home fries. It was clear as soon as it was served that everything is house made, even the french fries my son got with his blt, and everything was delicious. The portions were fair and the quality of the breakfast was superior to any diner in the area. The best part was the price. For what would have paid for 2 coffees and a tiny premade breakfast sandwich at Starbucks, we got a full breakfast and a full lunch! I have found my new go to breakfast spot! read more

This was my first eat at the Fritz's. The place was super busy. The customers I talked to were very friendly townies. I had a cod fillet and a coffee. $7.00. It was good.

A great discovery on a Sunday drive. We were greeted when we arrived and selected seating on the patio with our dog stroller. The ladies at the takeout window did a great job. Friendly and efficient. Food was ready in a few minutes and everything was fresh and tasty. We will definitely be back. read more

It's a diner my folks go to often, if you know how diners work you'll fit right in but if you want something fruitytooty you best look elsewhere. It's great for Saturday morning breakfast but not for fish and chips, but I'm pretty sure you knew that if you're looking up Fritz's on the interwebs. Good food, pretty cheap. If service is lacking you will see people going behind the bar to get their own coffee, stuff like that. read more

Fritz's Snack Bar - Breakfast special, with toast and coffee not pictured. 6$ - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oxford, Connecticut

When I was in high school, Fritz's was a tiny diner that was the place to go for breakfast when you skipped school and lunch when you left school early. Aside from knowing the family and the waitress, the food was always good and very inexpensive. The prices are still reasonable and the food is OK. But the menu is pretty basic, diner style so nothing overly impressive. Of course, my tastes have changed through the years so I will take that into consideration in my review. The homefries are definitely not as good as I remembered but I did like the French Toast very much. They make it old-school style, using regular sliced bread (not that Texas Toast shit). I haven't been able to get French Toast like that in years. The coffee was awful and the juice wasn't fresh squeezed - like I said basic diner style. If the service was OK, I would have given Fritz's 3* but it was HORRIBLE. I have worked customer service for over 20 years so I expect good service. Even at a diner style restaurant, I would at least expect decent service but this was beyond bad. The wait staff on the day I was there was 2 high school girls that seemed very bothered to serve us. We were sitting at the table for 10 minutes before the girl even acknowledged us, at which point she came over and finally offered us menus!!! 10 minutes later, she poured coffee and took our order. The food came out hot but coffee refills for my grandmother were pretty much non-existent and they never even checked in to see how we were doing. At one point, my father-in-law flagged down a waitress to ask if he could get a cup of coffee and the girl said, "well, I'm not your waitress so I will find her and have her get it." EXCUSE ME! First rule in customer service, acknowledge your customer. And NEVER say "I am not your waitress" b/c that conveys the message you do not want to help. Either get the coffee (which was literally located in back of our table - less than 5 steps from our table) or let the other server know their customer needs something. read more

We only tried Fritz's a few months ago, having passed it frequently. It's usually pretty busy, particularly in the mornings & weekends. They're reasonably priced and generally are timely- although we learned that if you order takeout on a weekend, be prepared to wait a good while for your food. We've tried a handful of items- sandwiches, caesar salad & eggs benedict- none of which I'd write home about. They're all mediocre in quality and flavor. HOWEVER, what keeps us coming back are their homemade fries & cheese. So flavorful & filling. read more

The food is good but nothing I would write home about. I ordered the veggie omelet with feta cheese, it had pieces of broccoli that where to big, and it needed more tomatoes. My boyfriend ordered the ham and cheese omelet, he enjoyed it but would of preferred his ham in smaller pieces. The thick cut bacon tastes very good just need a bit less salt read more

My husband and I tried Fritz's Snack bar For the first time last night and we were very impressed. We ordered the seafood platter, Ruben, and a cup of clam chowder. Everything was great. They were out of clam strips so they added extra fish and shrimp which was fine by me. The shrimp was large and fried very well and the flounder was delicious. Will definitely be going back to try some other things but everyone there seemed like regulars and very happy with their meals. Prices are great. The breakfast and lunch menu is the same as the dinner menu. read more

Still awesome. I'm from Southbury and really want to like a place like Denmo's, but the drive to Oxford for Fritz' is an easy choice for food that is not only better but more fairly priced. Fritz' food is an absolute home run. The menu is large for a "roadside" style place. Lots of breakfast choices; I have yet to have something I didn't love here. The inside is pure awesomeness and a call back to the 50's. Soda fountain, ice cream, milkshakes, a counter you can sit at or a large dining room - yes, it's all there. The only thing missing is some girls in poodle skirts and a jukebox. If you are a hotdog connoisseur, may I recommend the chili and cheese dog? Perfect amount of great tasting chili, what I believe is a deliciously grilled Hummel hotdog on a bun that is perfectly toasted. Chase it with some sweet potato fries and you've got yourself a real treat. read more

Fritz's Snack Bar continues to be my favorite, though I order a cheeseburger or hotdog sometimes for breakfast there. French fries are phenomenal in size and taste. Omelets and pancakes are generous. Shannon is a super server. You'll get your order hot off the grill. Perhaps the most interesting worker there is Andy the busboy--though he's no boy. He's a senior with the energy of a teenager; and, like a tornado, he's always on the move cleaning and resetting tables. He's never goofing off--like some of the other servers there, on their cellphones when customers need them. By the way, Fritz's chowders, which you can have even at breakfast, rival the best served at seaside restaurants. read more

I lived in Seymour for 8 years and never once tried Fritz's food. I visited my family and they brought me here for a quick dinner. It's seat yourself, inside there's booths and tables and a breakfast bar. If the weather is nice they also have an outdoor patio with picnic tables. All booths and tables were taken so we're sat at the breakfast bar. It was a little awkward seeing as there were 5 of us but we made it work. I ordered the Philly steak and cheese on a hard roll and a side of fries. The fries were hand cut and crispy. The steak on the sandwich was a bit tough and overcooked. My husband ordered a short stack of chocolate chip and banana pancakes. When he got them they were only chocolate chip, I guess our waitresses didn't hear him correctly. He still enjoyed them and I wish I had ordered the same thing. Our waitress seemed busy and distracted. I had finished my water halfway through my meal and asked for a refill which never came. I don't think I would go back here, and if I do I would only order breakfast. Seems like breakfast is their specialty. read more

Let me start off by saying my favorite meal of the day is breakfast, it starts the day and it starts the mood for the day. In the past I have gotten the very basic 2 eggs over easy with rye toast with a side of their giant chunked barely cooked potatoes (which i look past because im just gonna do the egg and toast anyways) BUT this last weekend, after waking up and craving breakfast my boyfriend suggested just stopping by this place which I unfortunetly agreed. I ordered an egg white omelet with broccoli.... before you say thats like high maintenance or whatever its not.. its egg whites...and a vegetable. NOT HARD. APPPPPPPPPPPPARENTLY to Fritzs its hard. I took one bite and could barely finish chewing(actually i didnt and used a napkin, im sorry but i had to tell just to get across how bad it was) Their broccoli tasted as if it had been frozen since dinosaurs walked the earth and then unfrozen for a little bit, frozen again and then left to sit in its own prehistoric juices for about a week... SO OF COURSE i made my boyfriend try it, and his face was pretty much the same as mine. Basically if you want a vegetable from this place that isnt from prehistoric times, you wont find it. Stick to the bare bones and youll be ok BUT DO NOT STRAY FROM THAT. ....that will be the last time i will ever go there. (I only gave 2 stars because of my acceptable meals ive had in the past) read more

UPDATE: 07/13/15 Decided to give it another shot for breakfast and called in my order. The waitress taking my order was clearly trying to rush me and very rude when I asked a few questions making me feel like I did something wrong and that she did not desire my business. Customer service skills are really lacking in this restaurant. Dropping from 3 stars to 2. read more

Stop looking at your phone and go now! I said go! read more

Good food for diner- nice service- big breakfasts. I would go back again- reasonable prices.

Exactly what a diner should be. Comfort food and great atmosphere. I went for brunch, around 11ish when i rolled out of bed lol and went here for some eggs, home fries, bacon and coffee. It was your typical diner fair however it tasted homemade. I love the homey feeling of the facility, you can tell the serving staff care about the facility and they are all a family. Many regulars at the counter but I didnt have an issue at all getting seating or having quick service. My server was a sweetheart that greeted my group with a big welcoming smile. Would totally recommend this place for a go to breakfast spot! read more

Do you like bland and run of the mill food? Does a menu that is straight out of a generic diner from the 60s sound interesting to you?? What about corned beef hash that is straight out of a can?

They only get 2 stars because the service was very good. read more
