There is a staff member at the very front that offers samples to help you decide which bag or bags to purchase. This is such a cute and family feel spot.

Next time we'll be more adventurous and try some of their unique flavors.

Are you a root beer fan? If you are, then you have to make sure to check this place out while…read moreyou're in Galena. The store isn't large, but they offer a wide variety of root beer brands. In the back, there is a root beer bar where you can purchase one to enjoy while you're there. The staff is always nice and helpful when you have questions about the different types of root beer they offer. They also offer a root beer flight, which I HIGHLY recommend. It gives you a chance to sample what they have in stock before you buy. This is always on my list of places to stop and order a root beer flight every time I visit Galena.

This was such a fun experience and we just chanced upon it while walking Galena downtown…read more I have always loved root beer but I never thought that it would have different tastes and different kinds and there's so many of them. This tasting was so enlightening and I'm definitely coming back because each tasting is different They don't serve the same thing every single time and even if I don't do the tasting I would just come back and buy some root beer from them. This is definitely a stop you need to make when you're going to Galena. Happy tasting!

They did not discount for lateness. I have always said that it costs just as much to make a good pizza as a bad one. The pizza here was a "C." The crust was pretty flavor less but done well crisp. The tomato sauce was sweet and not at all authentic Italian leaning. The Italian sausage was not noteworthy at all. In short you can find a decent frozen one to rival anything here.

A decent little shop with a wide selection of bulk candy and chocolate. The prices seemed fair,…read morebut like any bulk candy store you have a shop smart. The one thing that stood out to me here was their business model. You aren't allowed to fill your own bags. As you browse you are approached and asked if you need a bag. If the answer is yes the helpers fill the bags for you. You tell them what you want and they get it out of the bulk bins. A little different than other bulk candy stores I've been in before where it's more of less self service. From a health and welfare standpoint I can respect this... From a control standpoint I really wasn't a fan. I want to have the bag in my hand. I know roughly how much a pound weighs in my own hand. It's hard to judge the weight when it's in someone else's.

The inside is on the smaller side and they don't have any places to sit. It's more of a get your goods and go type of place. I'm rating this a 4 star bc of the service.

Our server was very helpful and attentive. And, last but not least, the ambiance of our table was cozy and welcoming. We make it a point to come to Fritz and Frites whenever we're in town and have never been disappointed. I also wanted to add that when we called to make a reservation on a very busy Friday night, that they called back right away, which was very thoughtful.

Okay, I've been convinced. Fritz and Frites is the BEST dinner restaurant in Galena!…read moreNot only is the food incredible, the service is out of this world and the vibes are truly *chef's kiss.* I came here for my birthday with some friends and our young kids (two 4 year olds and an infant.) From the moment we made our reservation, the staff was incredibly accommodating. By no means is this a typical "bring the kids" type of dining establishment, but sometimes parents just gotta do what they gotta do... and the staff at Fritz and Frites were truly so kind and accepting. The kids drew with crayons on the table paper cover and ate some delicious mac and cheese from the sides menu. They were as content as the adults were with their meals! Speaking of our meals, I ordered the Poulet Roti. An absolutely delicious roasted chicken dish, which I believe is the best chicken I've ever tasted! I can't wait for our next trip to Galena, just for another dinner at this wonderful place.

It may be kind of dumpy inside but the place is also full of crazy personality. A lot of the basics along with a few fancier items. The prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. Basically if you're a group it will probably be waiting for a table so go early. It's one of the popular places to go around here. The last time coming here we got seats at the bar and there wasn't any waiting. Has a lot of cool memorabilia to look at. There's a bunch of funny signs on the walls. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. The Fuzzy Navel is one of the classics you can get. It's about $13 for a burger and fries. They have a veggie burger that can substitute. We each got one of these. I got it with the toppings of the Basic Burger. These come with the usual toppings like lettuce, mayonnaise which I left off, onions, pickles, and tomatoes. She got it with the toppings of the Olive Burger. These come with cheddar, lettuce, mayonnaise, olives, onions, Swiss, and tomatoes. For sure it gets busy. It's located on Main at Franklin. They're closed Wednesdays.
