We decided to have dinner here the other day and I am so glad we did. The waitress we had was phenomenal. She was so helpful and attentive. I love the decor here too! I ordered tortellini in bolognese sauce and my husband ordered the lasagna and we shared some orange cake for dessert. Everything was really good! The desserts was not my favorite but my husband really enjoyed it. Reminded me of the old jello poke cakes lol. Portions are huge and I took half of my food home.

The food is very good and only exceeded by the exceptional service. Everyone in the restaurant and I mean everybody in the restaurant was pleasant, friendly, and accommodating. The first evening we had pasta which was great. Notably the portion size was huge filling two of us. It was served with rosemary bread that was was tasty with the "Italian butter" served to your table. Two night later we choose to have a wood fired pizza. All I can say is wow! After having pizzas all over the country I thought a pizza is generally good or bad. This pizza was not only good but it may be one of the best I have ever had. If in Keene NH, make this your first try.

    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.

    We ate here a 2nd time. First time was brunch and also not very good…read more Anyways ceaser salad was chopped to bits, the homemade dressing was okay, a few sad store bought croutons tried to liven it up. We also got the hot sauce marinated fried chicken sandwich, it was kinda wet and tough. Mass manufactured shoestring fries were also pretty sad fry wise. This used to be one of my favorite spots in Keene before we lived in Colorado. It changed hands a few years ago and hasn't been the same. The old menu was pretty small, and that is usually a sign of freshness and quality control. Service was okay, polite, and mostly accurate until the bartender filled what was remaining of my soda water with tap water. I'd stick with alcohol if you are coming here. The chicken fingers and bacon wrapped chicken were usually winners, I'd try those before anything else. But honestly with the competition in Keene for dining options I'd rather go elsewhere. It seems like you are doing alright covers wise, and I hope both experiences were off moments for you. Sorry to

    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.
