We stopped into Fritz on a whim with our three young kids. They had plenty of seating outside with umbrellas. Our burgers were fantastic and cooked to our individual liking. You can choose a variety of toppings or seasonings for your fries, so many options you cannot go wrong! The fries were so good! Kids loved their grilled cheese sandwiches as well! read more

Ahhh Fritz! Great atmosphere, food, location, beer, music, it just goes on and on. I've ordered a number of things from the menu at Fritz and have been happy about 99% of the time. Paninis are great and I really like the caprese sandwich. Typically I'll order the Falafel Salad. It is huge but they could definitely add more falafel to it (it comes with 3 falafel balls and they are usually somewhat dry). Fritz is known for its fries, but really its the wide variety of sauces that make the fries so tasty. They give you heaping portions of fries by the way. Beer selection is just great. They have Hennepin bottles, some Stone brewing bottles (usually the smoke porter and IPA), framboise, and some great beers on tap like Hoegarden! The best thing about Fritz is their Thursday night open mic. I've played there countless times and its always fun. Garth, the sound guy is so nice and really cares about how you sound (hard to find at open mics). A large crowd is typical so you get your music out to a lot of people. The atmosphere is laid back, nice colors and lighting, good service, food is served relatively quick and is great quality, beer/wine selection is good enough for this beer snob, and it's located right on Main St. Can't wait to go back. read more

Get the Roast Beef Carmelized Onion Panini! Got it? It's delish, you won't eat anywhere else! lol... Great staff, yummy yummy yummy food. Good Prices and fun atmposphere. Only downside is it's a smaller place, but it kind of helps make it what it is. A great Local spot to meet up with friends, catch up over a beer and grab some good food. read more

Went at about noon on a saturday, and though it was a little busy, the staff was moving at an absolutely glacial pace. It took my group more than 20 minutes to get 3 sandwiches. We could see the employees literally standing around doing nothing, even though our group and several others had ordered already. On the bright side, the food (especially the fries) were very tasty. I would be willing to give it another chance, if I didn't have anywhere to be afterwards. read more

Food is GREAT but front counter service was TERRIBLE. One person in our party asked for crispy fries and with a ton of attitude, the lady taking our order said "they are made crispy". And when she went in the back to tell the cooks, she had a mocking attitude. The cooks were fine with it and very pleasant. Cute decorations and atmosphere in the restaurant but the front counter service was just horrible. Ruined our experience. read more

Stopped here last Saturday afternoon. Ordered a burger (with bacon) and my wife ordered a steak bomb. We also got an order of small fries. I guess the fries are supposed to be cooked with some sort of Belgian technique of frying them twice so they are "very crispy". We were excited for that. The place was steady but not real busy. You order at the counter and the girl who took our order was friendly. We found a table easily and it was comfortable. Our food came out quickly. My burger is one of the best I've had. Great flavor in the meat and a great roll. Except that there was no bacon. I know I ordered it as the girl at the counter repeated it back to me. Checking my receipt I saw that I wasn't charged for it though - no harm, no foul. My wife insisted I try her steak bomb and it was delicious. Finally, a restaurant who knows about spices. The fries. What a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, they were good. But we were expecting something special and they are nothing special at all. They are ordinary. It was a good sized portion for two people. Not exceptionally crispy - in fact, they were no different than fries we get at most places. Kinda hard to believe they make a point of calling them Belgian Fries as if they are different in some way. Completely anticlimactic but good nonetheless. All in all I like this place and would certainly go back again without hesitation if I'm with someone who wants to try it. But I'll probably try another one of the bazillion other places on the same street. read more

Someone of the worst food we've had. My sandwich was wrong and the guy taking orders ignored me in order to take another persons order. Then wait 10 more minutes while everyone at our table ate but me. When they did bring out my food no apology was given. Completely embarrassing. read more

The food is generally okay. I've ordered online for pick up twice recently, taking a quick break from work and showing up when the website and email confirmation told me to. Both times the four or five teenage or 20-something employees hanging out, chatting or on their phones, have started to fill the order when I arrived, causing me to wait another 5-10 minutes. I regret adding a tip. So yeah, the food and service are meh. read more

Goodish food. Staff always super put out college kids. To be honest the only thing that we come here for is the French fries that use to be always amazing but no lack consistency. I have never been in love with the poor service. Newer renovations to the dining area have mead it feel less eclectic and more stuffy and uncomfortable. Wish they stayed with what worked. read more

Not very customer friendly. I ordered the $9.00 "special," a Cuban panini described as "a pulled pork sandwich with ham and cheese." It arrived as a essentially a ham and cheese sandwich with 2 small scraps of pork. When I mentioned that the sandwich was not as described, someone from the kitchen came out and disagreed with me. Nice. The place also lacks any atmosphere in large part because it has no music playing. Why? The guy at the counter explained that the owner doesn't want to pay the fee. Pay the fee, man. It's the cost of doing business. Or come up with an alternative. read more

Delicious fries and dipping sauces (especially Rosemary Garlic)! Atmosphere is very cozy and the live music is always a nice touch! read more

I have visited this establishment since it opened many years ago in a different location, And I have been a loyal patron for many years. It seems that after a change in ownership, the business has lost much of the character that I came to enjoy. When I walk into the restaurant these days, it seems like a bland, lifeless representation of what I had come to enjoy. The warm, welcoming atmosphere that I grew accustomed to has become a sterile environment that I would expect in a hospital room. Even the staff has become complacent to the below average food offerings. The last time I went to this restaurant, I was served a BLT without lettuce (I mean, its in the name!!!) and when I confronted staff about it, they attempted to make me feel stupid about my menu choice. If this place is going to survive under new ownership, they have some serious work to do. read more

Get the fries, grab some sauce. The sandwiches are good as well, but they really call it 'Fritz's Belgian Fries' for a reason. Grab your friends, a big pile of potatoes and your favorite sauce(s) and chow like a fat kid. It's amazing. read more

This place used to be a great place to enjoy salads, fries and sandwiches. Their food is still good, but the management is extremely poor. They are not always open the hours they say they are, and you don't find out until you get there. And they don't seem to service the business they do get if things get busy. I just waited 40 minutes to take out 2 sandwiches. If I hadn't paid at the time of my order, I would have left and gone somewhere else. There are plenty of good restaurants in Keene. read more

New ownership... our food was absolutely disgusting. What a shame, this place had always been a little special, they did a decent job getting local on the menu and offering gluten free options. Back to bottled Sysco garbage, precooked bacon, and hardboiled eggs with no yolk. Don't fall for it, it may look similar but all the magic is gone. Clearly they think their customers are too stupid to notice the cost cutting. read more

It took awhile to get out food (family of 4), 3 other groups that ordered after us got their food first. Then we had to send 2 back because they were not made correctly. The sandwiches tasted great. Everyone raves about the fries, a large is almost $7, but ours were hard as a rock. We told the server and they said "yea, these seem overcooked" and then he walked away and that was that. The only non-mayo sauces for the fries are ketchup or BBQ. The dips were really good, but I probably chipped a tooth biting into those fries. One of the staff apologized for the service, it was the beginning of summer in a college town so the staff was brand new, and everyone was very nice, but still not a great experience. read more

They have really good food! Always very filling. My favorite is the bacon feta burger. Their French fries are also amazing along with the honey mustard dipping sauce. The customer service is also really good everyone is always super friendly and helpful. It does however get really busy sometimes and the lines can be long. But worth the wait. I recommend ordering ahead of time if you need the food quick for a break or something. read more

Very unhappy with the sandwich I ordered today. The 1/2 sandwich I ordered was not worth the $5 I spent on it. One piece of tomato three tiny strips of basil and a smudge of balsamic slapped between two pieces of under toasted bread. I could have gotten a more flavorful sandwich at a grocery store pre made deli display. Will not be returning. read more

I hadn't been to Fritz in awhile. My daughter and I decided it would be a great place for lunch. She was paying as it was my birthday :) I ordered the combo special, 1/2 a panini, small fry, and a soda. It was around $7.00. My daughter ordered a panini, medium fry (wanted some extra to take home), one sauce, and a bottled tea. I was shocked when the total came to $26.00. Could hers' really have cost $18.00 or so? We didn't get an itemized receipt and since it was a celebratory lunch, I didn't want to make a big deal about. On to the food... I would hardly call the turkey sandwich I got a panini. The ingredients were very good, but the sandwich did not appear to be pressed, or if it was, only for a brief moment. The sandwich was not warm and the cheese was not melted. The fries are OK, but you get alot of small pieces of potato, and only a few full length pieces. No sauce was included. Sorry, should not have to pay 50 cents for ketchup for my fries. Years ago, I believe they included one sauce with your order. Apparently, that is no longer the case. For $26.00, we probably could have had a nice lunch at a sit-down restaurant. Lesson learned.... read more

Arrived in Keene and wanted a good burger. We found Fritz by walking by. We had a Vermonster burger and Dill Harvarti burger- both are excellent!! Vermonster comes with caramelized onions, bacon, and apple slices - try it before you dismiss it because of the apple - it is a really good combination. The dill burger is very good with red onions. Basket of fries also really good available with different dipping sauces. I recommend eating here and will eat here again next time in Kenne. read more

Fritz is delicious! The only thing I've ever had to eat there was the grilled peanut butter & jelly (it's on the kids menu) because it's so good and I just can't get enough of it. Then there's the fries... mmm. The Rosemary Garlic dipping sauce is to die for! Whenever I go, I go with a big group of friends. They have lots of seating, and I love the cozy comfortable atmosphere. They serve beer, juices, cold teas, etc. There's something for everyone! I'm a vegetarian and the choices are somewhat limited, but better than most places around, and if you're like me and find the thing you love, you won't care that there are only like 2-4 things you can eat on the menu. read more

Me and my lady came in for a quick lunch, don't make our mistake. 25 and change for a sm glass of wine a half sandwich sm fry water and the tiniest cup of soup ever. What a joke, her half a sandwich was so pathetic and had one piece of meat in it. We were going to sit and wait there but it took for ever so we had it wrapped to go. To our wonderful surprise we were also met with the soggiest fries know to man. Right in the trash with those. Disappointed, I knew the old owner and never experienced anything like that. Oh and no music or anything in the place, what?? read more

While visiting Keene with my parents, we stopped into Fritz for lunch. There assortments of soups, sandwiches and beers were perfect for our day. Our Paninis were delicious and the soups were flavorful. The place is clean, well lit and easily accessible for my parents with limited mobility. read more

I may have just had the best salad I've ever had....now it could be that it was the height of the produce season in NH, but still...

I use to love this place. I understand it has new owners. They should bring back the music and the delivery.

Fritz used to be so much better. I ordered a vegetable wrap and it was okay. It was mostly spinach, very little of anything else. It cost over $9. It was soaked in dressing. The restaurant wasn't very busy and it was around 12:15p. read more

Fritz is one of my favorite places to go for lunch in Keene. The food is affordable & delicious (be sure to try their fries), & the staff is friendly. The only downside to Fritz is that there isn't a ton of seating, so if you come during the lunch-hour rush, you might find yourself without a table to sit at. read more

The fries probably rate a 5! Interesting dipping sauces really enhance them. Sadly, though the burger was a disappointment. It was underseasoned and pretty tasteless. The havarti was good, but the plain tomato and lettuce were bland. read more

Food was okay, nothing special. Staff was friendly enough, place was pretty dead. Inside the decor was pretty scatter brained, but I'm guessing that's more for the local market. read more

I love this place! I love the fries! What I really like about fritz is they put a lot of thought into all of the sandwiches. I had all of them and they all are full of flavor! Nice friendly service as well. read more

Hmmm...I thought the atmosphere was a little cheesy, but I enjoyed my lunch. The panini was tasty, although combine with the price for the fries and sauce, I thought a little pricey. Their draw is the sauces, which all seem pretty good. I was drawn in my the special sauce, which they gave some french name to...and turned out to be mayo, ketchup, and onion plopped in a bowl. Gross. Maybe on my next trip, I will choose a better sauce and have a more enjoyable time. read more

cool place. cool vibe. i approve. Sit in comfy sofas and padded chairs and drink beer and eat fries. Vibe is like a coffee house so you can chill and linger all you want. No one is rushing you out the door. Beer:: Selection is decent - about 20 bottled options if I recall correctly along with some rotating special choices. Fries:: tasty, lots of sauce options. We tried the curry ketchup, spicy chipotle ketchup, pineapple curry, fritesaus, lemon dill and one other.... maybe the rosemary one? Most were tasty, one or two fell flat, none were gross or regrettable. The standout was the pineapple curry sauce. Other Food:: burger was fine. the chicken club was very good... came on a herb ciabatta that was delicious. Seems popular with HS, college and town eccentrics. read more

Best fries in Keene. Cool atmosphere. Decent beer selection.

This is our first time in here in 10 years. The food is just okay for the price. The atmosphere is not like it used to be, the place has been sanitized so to speak. Overall disappointing. read more

Stopped here on the way back from Maine to western Mass. Fries & dipping sauces were excellent. Had the 'Vermonter' burger which seemed like an unlikely combination of ingredients but turned out to be quite tasty. Counter service & serving time were all fine. Positive note: The AC was pretty chilly & my elderly dining companion was uncomfortable, so the owner turned off the AC for the duration of our stay. read more

I'm pretty bummed about the most recent changes made at fritz mostly the "policies" and menu changes. You can no longer order a half salad or sandwich. They also have a policy to take pick up orders regardless of whether they are ready even when customers have been wait in line for a very long time. The girl who took my order was extremely rude when I said it didn't seem fair to cash a pick up order out (the food wasn't even ready) when I'd been waiting online for 15 mins while the group in front of me kept adding people to their order and changing items. The only thing I needed to order was a kids cheese burger and it took 20 mins to get to us. The most dissapointing part was the super rude staff. read more

The best burger I ever ate... thats what my husband said after finishing his burger with Havarti made with local beef. I would agree. The local beef is excellent. The Havarti a perfect match and they painni press their burgers so you get a wonderful crunch on the outside and all warm and cheesy in the inside. We got the fries with 3 side dips. The spicy tomato sauce and ranch were our favorites. Too much fries though. Seating is a bit tough and not all the chairs are conducive for eating sandwiches (deep plush arm chairs). read more

Friendly atmosphere but it is expensive for what you are getting. While the fries are spectacular, the other options on the menu are good but nothing outstanding. read more

Delicious fries, but plan accordingly because the service is very slow even the take out. Tomato bisque is a must try!

I love Fritz's, every time I'm in Keene I stop by for falafel and fries. I always order either the chipotle ranch or the rosemary garlic dipping sauce for my fries, both are phenomenal. The burgers are pretty good too. Fritz's is a little pricer than most sandwich & fries places, but the dipping sauces make it totally worth it! The atmosphere is fun and quirky as well, it's a good place to sit and chat with your friends. I'm pretty sure you can only pay with credit card if your total bill is high enough (I want to say over $6 but I'm not sure) so if you're only getting small fries, be sure to have cash. read more
