We stayed in Keene one night while traveling back to Mass from VT. Fireworks was recommended by…read moreour airbnb host and a family member who had been in the area. We made an 8pm reservation on a Saturday night and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Our table was in the main restaurant, but we would request a table by the window or outside next time. It just looked really pretty by the window. For food, I ordered the pizza factory chicken chopped salad. It was very good and came with feta, chicken and pepperoni. My son had the margarita pizza. He wasn't a fan of the fresh tomatoes on the pizza, but I had a slice and thought it was pretty good. My other son had a burger and mashed potatoes and my husband ordered the lemon chicken. We all loved our meals. There were a lot of good options on the menu. We will be back the next time we're in Keene.

My sister's family is vegan and was hungry on the way back from the family Christmas party…read more I was searching vegan restaurants and not holding out much hope, when Underdog Pizza's profile popped for me on yelp. I went to the website, but didn't see the options for vegan cheese, so I called them and they confirmed that they did have vegan cheese. My sister called back to put in the order and the person taking our order gave us the full list of vegan "meat", put up with our waffling on number of pizzas and number of fry orders and was just wonderful. Don't be discouraged if you don't see the vegan cheese on the website right away - it is there, just select a pizza and start clicking around - or call them for excellent service! Underdog Pizza, much like Underdog himself, comes to the rescue! On pick up, the folks working told us about all the testing they have done and consistently still do of vegan products to make sure their food tastes good.. Their enthusiasm was infectious and when we got home and tried it out the testing definitely paid off. The vegan cheese was very tasty, as were the fake bacon and burger crumbles. Some solid pizzas. An unexpectedly awesome find which will help our family be able to more easily get food together when we are all in the area. They also have a gluten free crust and non-tomato pizza's to offer. And they have dairy cheese and other non-vegan products as well. Underdog pizza is conveniently located on main street in Keene - There is pull in street parking and some municipal lots within walking distance. They are kind of a "hole in the wall" style place with some seating and a Ms. Pacman game. Good for take out but if you are just out in Keene for the day, there is the option to sit and eat your order there. Their logo is delightfully 80's. Thanks for making our holiday easier.

Wanted to try something new while staying in Keene between ski days. Given the current cold snap,…read moreit was right around the corner from where I was staying. I was solo so sat at the bar. Bartender didn't impress. Not sure he was experienced. Give away was putting olives on martini containing grapefruit juice, not mention an even number of olives (bad luck). The menus were fancy and I ordered a shaved roast beef sandwich with au jus. Shaved roast beef was on par with Steak-umms. French fries were your typical bagged fries. All in all it was ok at best. Was hoping for a little more given the quality of the other restaurants in the area.

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.

I found this very helpful instead of some other companies we got quotes from that had complicated pricing. The food was surprisingly good and they were accurate at helping us estimate how much food was needed for our group size. We had some left over at the end and they even boxed it up for us to take home! They were flexible with our timing and were well staffed during the event. They gave us their back room all to ourselves. I would recommend using them for a small gathering of 40 people of less.

The Pub is a long time favorite in Keene. Open over 50 years!!!…read more I have wonderful memories of Pub breakfasts with family and friends and they continue to live up to expectation. Most recently I got the Brendan's favorite which is a special including an omelet with feta. I love that they still give you a tiny juice - its so old school and is really the perfect size cranberry juice. They also offer fresh hot biscuits as an alternative to toast, which are soft and lovely. I also got an ice coffee. My husband got the eggs Benedict. Food was wonderful. The only pitfall was the sugar free hot chocolate listed on the menu was not available and rumor has, it hasn't been available for quite some time. They should just buy a box!!!! My husband was so excited when he saw it on the menu. I was tickled that we were seated in the older part of the restaurant as I hadn't eaten in there in years and when I was a kid I always felt like it was fancy. Our waitress was wonderful and all the food service was reasonably prompt. The pub also serves lunch and has an awesome sounding dessert list. I hope it gets to serve Keene for many more years.

Can't remember the last time we had fajitas! Most of the upscale Mexican restaurants in our…read moreneighborhood at home are too fancy. On vacation in New Hampshire and Vermont, we drove up to Keene for a casual dinner our 1st night out. The margarita menu, as you might expect from the name, is extensive; there was a time when I could drink them and I loved them! But then was not now. Tonight, hubs and I shared a 16-oz Modelo Especial that they had on draught. They served the full glass with a separate chilled glass, nice. I poured about half; I was driving, and there are several roundabouts to get into and out of town; it wouldn't be too safe if I drank the whole thing myself! Lol Before you order anything, server brings a good sized bowl of warm and tasty tortilla chips with a small bowl of good spicy salsa. We ordered the guacamole appetizer, a large portion on a plate with some fresh pico de gallo. You can get added jalapeños for no charge. Hubs doesn't do 'hot,' so I asked for the jalapeño on the side and got a little dish of slices. Yum with my guac and chips, and yum with my meal! We both ordered vegetable fajitas. These came out shortly after we got the guac, really too quickly. The 2-top table wasn't big enough to accommodate all the dishes! We were still eating guac and chips; a server brought out plates for each of us with: foil-wrapped warm tortillas (we chose corn instead of flour); a small scoop of guac; a pile of shredded cheese; a small scoop of sour cream; a bed of lettuce. Then he and our waitress each came out with a huge wooden board, on top of each was a pan still sizzling! Black beans, rice, and a ton of veggies! The usual onions & peppers, plus some mushrooms, corn kernels, and greens (kale? spinach? not sure). We hadn't had enough time to savor and finish the guac so we didn't want to give it up, but the table didn't have enough room for everything! We put half the remainder on each of our side dish plates in order to get rid of 1 dish. That wouldn't have been an issue if the timing was better, but we managed. Our beer glasses and our water glasses were also on the table, plus the first basket of chips and the small dish of salsa! That said, the food tasted freshly cooked and we enjoyed as much as we could possibly eat!

I don't write many negative reviews, and I'm pretty easygoing, but this experience earned it…read more I'm in Keene for business for about a week, and I figured a margarita and some Mexican food would be a safe, consistent choice. My first visit wasn't terrible, but it was obvious the bar was understaffed. That's a management issue, not a bartender issue. I stayed patient, but it took an incredibly long time to get any attention. The food was mediocre at best, but I wasn't expecting fine dining--just a decent meal and reasonable service. I decided to give them another chance a few days later because everyone can have an off night. This time it was a Saturday. The restaurant wasn't busy, and the bar had plenty of open seats. As I sat down, the bartender's greeting was, "I have a lot to do, so get comfortable." Not exactly a welcoming first impression. I tried to be understanding, but after sitting there for about 15 minutes without anyone coming over, I noticed someone who appeared to be the manager walking around without stepping in to help. At that point I decided it was time to leave. As I got up, both the bartender and the manager made eye contact with me, and neither made the slightest effort to acknowledge the wait, apologize, or ask me to stay. Looking back, I should have read the reviews before going. There are plenty of similar complaints, followed by the same generic management responses saying they're sorry and will do better. Based on my experience, those responses feel like lip service. If the same problems keep happening, it doesn't seem like there's much interest in actually fixing them. There are too many restaurants competing for people's business to treat customers this way. I won't be back.
