This is about the fourth time I have had this sandwich and it is one of the best In Keene! The California crunch consists of: veggie burger dill havarti avocado bean sprouts crunchy kale + cabbage peanuts crispy shallots carrot ginger vinaigrette spinach wrap peanut dipping sauce I also chose the sweet potato fries with honey mustard. It was very very good... I will be back again and again... one of my favorite spots In Keene!

The fish sandwich is one of thr best I have ever had and the steak and sashimi options really set them apart. Drinks are a must for a dinner affair and the staff is really attentive and provides great service, all in all a must for the area and even removed from the area. The setting even with downtown construction is still inviting and quaint a true testimony to how great a place they are. Best dining experience in town? Without a doubt yes

My pasta portion was very small and didn't have much duck flavor. It could be any ground meat and I would not be able to tell the difference. The crab and corn chowder was tasty.

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.

They replied quickly with a "don't worry, we'll keep it safe, just come in and show your ID. So thanks to everyone at 21 who makes this Pub an efficient, delicious, friendly hang! Always a good time!

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.

An amazing spot in downtown Keene! I had the chance to speak for a few minutes with the owner while…read morehe was eating and he gave us some history of the location - what a great guy! 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!!

From the inviting grocery section to the local meat and cheese, this place is what Whole Foods can never be. Come with jars or plastic bags for the spices, grains, and protein in the bulk aisle. Come Christmas shopping for the artisan baskets displayed above the produce section. The Swanzey SW turkey avocado sandwich was a fun end of Thanksgiving break, complete with sprouts and chipotle mayo. The PBJ and Banana on sourdough was worthy of a tall, cool glass of milk. The Cuban covered all the savory/sour notes! Some of the sandwiches are already prepared in the deli case if you need a little steering. You can grab lunch for $10 or less, even if you're not a co-op member, but we ended up filling the cart while we were at it. Smaller that supermarkets but still a well stocked, this is oasis hiding just off Main Street, and better yet, this co-op has its own parking lot (car and bike). No playing with parking meters or gambling on the cross walks on the way to this cozy and colorful spot.

They are located in a great spot, with plenty of parking available. We were lucky weather wise to be able to enjoy the patio, which I highly recommend if you visit during a time that allows it. All of the staff were very friendly and service was quite quick. They do offer wine, cocktails, mocktails and plenty of other non-alcoholic drink options so don't let brewing company scare you away. My wife got their Peach Kolsch and I got their Patio Season (lemon fruited wheat beer) and we enjoyed them. Both paired well with the nice weather day! Food wise my wife got Taco Salad that she very much enjoyed. I got their Peach BBQ Chicken Sandwich that had pulled bbq chicken. It was very tasty and you could get the sweetness from the peaches in the sauce. I do wish it would have been a little more peach forward though. Fries were hot and well seasoned but could have had a little more crisp to them. Overall solid spot, would check it out for those looking for a brewery that serves food and even for those just looking for a meal too! They offer a great variety of food on their menu that everyone in your party should find something to their liking. Like I said above, if weather and time of year allows enjoy the patio!
