When I first walked in, I wasn't impressed by the interior decor or layout. It felt a little odd, especially with the bar tucked away in the back right. The space seemed like it had recently taken over from a previous restaurant and didn't feel very unique or cozy. The hostess seated us quickly on a Friday night, but we weren't greeted by a waiter for about five minutes. We ordered soups to start. The French onion was great, but the tomato soup wasn't anything special. The Hell on Noodles dish sounded interesting, even though I'm not great with spicy food. The waiter said it wasn't too spicy, but I would disagree. It was delicious, just too spicy for my liking. My boyfriend ordered the pho with grilled chicken and really enjoyed the authentic flavors. Both dishes came in generous portions.

Amazing experience and the food was delicious. We will be coming back. Super friendly staff.read more

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.

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 also saw recently that they have such a huge issue with competition in town (other bakeries) that they actually went to the local news source and complained that they have competition.

I grabbed a breakfast pastry at this locally owned, award winning bakery in downtown Keene. When I…read moreentered, the clerk was on the phone with a huge cake order. Their cakes are popular. The case was filled with sweet flaky pastries and enticing cupcakes. I selected a beautiful savory leek/parmesan filled pastry. The taste of leek and parmesan was subtle with little bits of leek.

I will have to return. There is street parking around the block.

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 started off with drinks - I got the seasonal appletini and my boyfriend got a gin. I got the seasonal beet salad which was very good. For entrees I got the braised beef short rib which was amazing! (Absolutely no notes on that dish). My boyfriend got the papardelle with house made pasta. Normally he salts all his food and he didn't even salt his pasta dish and he said it was delicious. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was good. Overall 5/5 Highly recommend and we will definitely make it a point to come back if we are in the area again!

The Brewmaster dinner: sausage, sauerkraut, potato pancakes and applesauce. The fried mushrooms. I could go on and on. I understand wanting to try new items.

What made me think to right this review was a recent trip to Tokyo where I ate at a well regarded (but not necessarily elite) Ginza omokase joint.
