    Logo'd coffee cups (although this one has tea in it).

    I don't know about you, but if I go to a diner I am going there for the diner experience. I'm not expecting gourmet dining, elegant surroundings, or finely dressed servers. I'm expecting good food, cleanliness and comfortable seating, and efficient service: And that's exactly what you'll find a Lindy's Diner. The eating highlight for us when we popped in for breakfast was my partner's omelette. What made it stand out was the thinness of the outer egg. It was more like a crepe, than a pancake (if you know what I mean). That's the way we like an omelette, and how we make them at home. I had the half portion of the "Souther Benny" -- sausage gravy and a biscuit instead of English muffin & hollandaise. Either they mistakenly gave me the full portion, or the full portion is gigantic. Interestingly, the home fries look super boring. Little square potatoes that look like they have doing on them but paprika. Don't be deceived. Try them. They are deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked. It was good but if I and known how they prepare their omelettes I would have gone that route. One final note: Out sever was awesome. I wish we wrote down her name so I could use it here. She was super busy, rushing around in a whirlwind, but had had a broad smile every time she stopped by our table and was super helpful and friendly the whole visit. A very solid classic diner choice for breakfast in Keene if you ask me.

    Highly recommend Lindy's for great food and service. I know many like to wait for a booth but counter service is great as well. Since the service is so good sitting at the counter adds to the expierence speaking with the waitress and wait staff.

    Amazing service and amazing food. Metered parking about $1.50 for one hour. Homemade breads. Indoor and outdoor seating. Takes credit cards.

    Finally got a chance to check out Lindy's! Every time I walk past here on the weekends there's always a line for brunch which is a testament to their devoted followers. I got the crab cake BLT and it was so good! That crab cake was top notch in my opinion and I would definitely get it again. Service was fast and attentive and I dig the diner vibe!

    If I could give it six stars I would. Short wait was most definitely, truthfully would have waited damn near hours for the food we got. Menu has something for everyone, really appreciated the all day breakfast and lunch! Waitstaff was efficient, accommodating, and extremely pleasant. Isabella went out of her way to ensure we had an amazing experience. The cherry on top of our time at Lindy's Diner was the DELICIOUS and FRESH food. It came out quickly and was a delight to eat. Left excited to come back!

There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.

Upon arrival (be warned, gps will take you weird way through back lots, bit you will get there) was impressed by the beautiful historical structure it is housed in. Theres a lovely outdoor eating area, and plenty of indoor dining in various types of rooms, and a bar area. We opted for indoor dining, was seated in the main dining area. Its a beautiful space with restored wood work and craft beer decor. They brew their own beer. I had the Bird NEIPA, probably the smoothest IPA i have ever tasted. Loved it. Apps: OUTSTANDING! the spinach artichoke dip I guarantee is better than any you have ever had, anywhere. The bagel chips with everything seasoning compliments the dip perfectly. We also had the sweet potato corn jalapeño soup. Creamy, flavorful with the perfect spicy finish. Dinner: Took forever to get to us. Almost an hour from when we ordered. At 45 minutes our server said he dropped one of our meals, so he asked kitchen to make 2 new ones..so one wasn't just sitting under heat lamp. Very much appreciated, but even still..it should not have taken that long. My meal was ok. Peach BBQ pulled chicken sandwich, there wasn't much chicken. The bun was barely toasted, and not a broiche as advertised. Just a regular burger bun. So i couldnt hold the sandwich up without it drooping. I ate with fork, it was fine. Just a bit disappointed. The NY Strip however, was melt in your mouth good, the demi glaze sauce was amazing too. Would definitely come back here if ever in area again. It was that good, even with the bad timing. So many other menu items i would love to try

My partner had the short rib ravioli which was also excellent. We are whiskey/bourbon drinkers and the one thing that whiskey/burboun drinkers like in their old fashioned type drinks are single, large ice rocks and not the little broken ice chips that easily dilutes your drink. These are so easy to make yourself. Just buy an ice tray that makes them. The other thing whiskey/bourbon drinkers like in their drinks are the bourbon cherries and not just the plain maraschino cherries. Just two easy recommendations to elavate the experience. The staff was also very friendly.

The spot is located in a humble building downtown - a good size but not huge. Pretty ideal for the type of service they offer (order at the counter & they bring the food to your table). The service was great and the place was well kept & clean. The food was outstanding. I got the chipotle chicken panini; fresh ingredients and a great sized sandwich. Their Belgian fries are seriously out of this world, not to mention their amazing dipping sauces to go with them (I myself had maple mayo and curry ketchup, both awesome)!! Their prices are also very reasonable. With everything raising in price lately, it's not uncommon to be spending a ton even on a quick lunch nowadays. This place keeps the cost reasonable for the times while still providing good portions and quality ingredients. They are also extremely "gluten free friendly" for anyone curious. I plan to drive back up to Keene in the very near future, based around having Fritz again!!

We were greeted and told to sit anywhere we wanted. Ambiance: It's a smaller, fairly echoey restaurant, but it's a pizza joint... it's kind of to be expected. After a few, our waitress came and I ordered waters. For some reason our table was missing the drink menu... all others had one. It took a few minutes for our waitress to find one for us. I ordered the Galaxy Lemonade, Jennie chose the Bahama Mama. We were both very disappointed in our drinks. Minute clearly had the Blue Curaçao in it, but there wasn't even the tiniest hint of the Empress Gin... a gin with a very distinctive flavor. It was so lacking that I actually asked our waitress if it was forgotten. I think the drink should've been great, but the curaçao was overpowering the gin. There was 1oz of each liquor. I think 3/4oz BC and 1.25oz Empress might've made it better. While Jennie prefers sweeter drinks, the BM was VERY sweet-forward, lacking flavor from either rum. We are all about the "well-balanced beverage"... neither of these were. Our appetizer (5 Buffalo wings) & pizza arrived at the same time. I thought the wings were great. The heat/flavor ratio was damn-near perfect. Jennie felt they had a bit too much heat... I disagree :) Our thin-crust pizza was also great. Toppings: garlic, tomato, banana peppers, & pepperoni. I feel there should've been much more garlic on it, as it was ordered as a topping, but overall, the crust had a perfect crispness all the way under, so it could be picked up by the edge. We both enjoyed it! The food is worth picking up, but if I'm going to sit in a restaurant for food and drink, I'd like to enjoy the drink. For that reason, we probably won't be back.
