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.

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.

I was there last night on a Friday and sat at the bar and had dinner with my partner. The food was…read moreexcellent. I had Mr. Miyagi. It was excellent. 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. Trash owners and trash food filled with bad ingredients. Would never recommend and would never support this type of business or behavior. Shame on you B Bakes!

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. The pastry was thick, airy and flavorful. They have a dozen or so tables to sit and eat. The dining area is modern and clean. At lunchtime, they serve sandwiches and soups. The menu looks good. I will have to return. There is street parking around the block.

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!!

Absolutely terrible. First of all online it says it's downtown and now you have to drive across…read moretown then go on a scavenger hunt to find the new location. Got inside, waited 45 minutes for a sandwich and drink. My order was wrong with half the ingredients. The staff seemed miserable and rushed the entire time. Homeless tweakers hanging out outside of the store begging me for money looked like they just shot up. Definitely won't be back or recommend.

Beet Salad needs goat cheese and/or walnuts to get that going. Dressing was ok but lacked deep flavor. Overall good food but so close to being excellent.

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!

French restaurant in Old Town Albuquerque NM, and Mexican restaurant in Manchester NH. Anyways, I love the bulk food and spice section, to get what you want in the quantities you want.

You have one day in Keene to eat somewhere. You want history, local flavor in the food & drinks?…read moreThat's what we wanted. Checked the menu on yelp, and loved the variety. Upon arrival (be warned, gps will take you weird way through back lots, bit you will get there) was impressed by the beautiful historical structure it is housed in. Theres a lovely outdoor eating area, and plenty of indoor dining in various types of rooms, and a bar area. We opted for indoor dining, was seated in the main dining area. Its a beautiful space with restored wood work and craft beer decor. They brew their own beer. I had the Bird NEIPA, probably the smoothest IPA i have ever tasted. Loved it. Apps: OUTSTANDING! the spinach artichoke dip I guarantee is better than any you have ever had, anywhere. The bagel chips with everything seasoning compliments the dip perfectly. We also had the sweet potato corn jalapeño soup. Creamy, flavorful with the perfect spicy finish. Dinner: Took forever to get to us. Almost an hour from when we ordered. At 45 minutes our server said he dropped one of our meals, so he asked kitchen to make 2 new ones..so one wasn't just sitting under heat lamp. Very much appreciated, but even still..it should not have taken that long. My meal was ok. Peach BBQ pulled chicken sandwich, there wasn't much chicken. The bun was barely toasted, and not a broiche as advertised. Just a regular burger bun. So i couldnt hold the sandwich up without it drooping. I ate with fork, it was fine. Just a bit disappointed. The NY Strip however, was melt in your mouth good, the demi glaze sauce was amazing too. Would definitely come back here if ever in area again. It was that good, even with the bad timing. So many other menu items i would love to try

I've done the omokase here a couple of times as well as a la carte a few other times. While the…read morerolls are decent and hold their own against most sushi options, where this place really shines is with the omokase. 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. Towards the end, the thought popped into my mind, "Not as good as Kurama." I'd say this place could compete in Ginza, let alone Keene, New Hampshire. We're lucky to have it.

I'm really impressed by this place! They were very friendly, and the food was amazing. The best…read moresushi I've had in quite a while! I'll be back. Highly recommend them to anyone in the area. I came back for a second visit and was not disappointed! The chu-toro was silky and delicious, the salmon had a perfect finish of lemon zest, the buri was easily the best yellowtail I've ever had, and the spicy girl roll was spicy and delicious. This is my favorite sushi place!
