Had lunch there for the first time this summer and loved it…read more That being said we went back this yesterday and, well,.... not so much this time. Got the shrimp platter and it was worse than frozen quality accompanied by "green bean and onions" (aka: canned beans and sliced raw onion) and "maple glazed carrots" (watery overcooked carrots with syrup poured on them) Arguably one is the worst lunches in recent memory. With cheesticks with 2 beers the check came to almost $50 I tipped generously out of courtesy but may never return. A far cry from what they were as "Jim eddys" Oh, and the server left our glasses empty nearly the whole meal even though there was hardly anyone else there. Hopefully yesterday was a fluke.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch and got a few appetizers and they were amazing. The calamari…read morewas so light that it was joy to eat. The tomato soup was so cheesy that I enjoyed it so much when the shrimp scampi appetizer was delicious!

I discovered this place on our drive up north and wasn't quite sure what to expect after looking at…read morethe menu online. When I first walked in, I wasn't impressed by the interior decor or layout. It felt a little odd, especially with the bar tucked away in the back right. The space seemed like it had recently taken over from a previous restaurant and didn't feel very unique or cozy. The hostess seated us quickly on a Friday night, but we weren't greeted by a waiter for about five minutes. We ordered soups to start. The French onion was great, but the tomato soup wasn't anything special. The Hell on Noodles dish sounded interesting, even though I'm not great with spicy food. The waiter said it wasn't too spicy, but I would disagree. It was delicious, just too spicy for my liking. My boyfriend ordered the pho with grilled chicken and really enjoyed the authentic flavors. Both dishes came in generous portions.

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.

We had a really great time at Elm City last weekend. They…read morewere able to seat us downstairs so my mom wouldn't have to struggle with the stairs. Service was prompt. Waitstaff and hostess were kind. The pretzel they brought us as a starter was fantastic. Everyone was thrilled with the mustard and pub cheese. There were mixed reviews for our entrees, but the C monster iPa and peachy Keene kolsch were well enjoyed.

This place needs to stop removing their best dishes from their menu. There's a reason why they're…read morepopular. They're good! The Brewmaster dinner: sausage, sauerkraut, potato pancakes and applesauce. The fried mushrooms. I could go on and on. I understand wanting to try new items. But why remove the best items on the menu to make room? Run them as frequent specials and see how well they do. The service has been outstanding here for several years now, greatly improved actually. Please consider returning some of these favorites to your menu. They're not tired, they're a comfort. : )

Horrible! Never again!…read more The food was absolutely horrible Smashburger was literally a millimeter thick came out cold without the cheese. French fries were cold. Brisket sandwich was cold full of fat.

Stopped in today for the first time. I'm giving it 3 starts…read morefor a few reasons. First of all the burger I got was delicious! I forget that name but it had peanut butter, banana and hot honey on it. Was sooo good, probably one of the best burgers in the area, it however wasn't in my opinion worth $20. The menu is a little miss leading, it said $20 for burger and a side. So I got fries as a side. Then the check came out and everything was itemized, the burger was $16 and the fries $4. Why not just have that on the menu? Because I would have just gotten the burger, I thought a side was just part of the $20 price point. Oh well. The ambiance was alright, a big reason why I give it 3 stars is because the inside was a little sad. They have weird random art of Nilla wafer cookies and bananas on the wall??? I mean you're a smoke house, have some photos of the smoker itself, let's see that smoke billowing out. Have some photos of animals (cattle, pigs, chickens). Idk the inside definitely needs help and was a little off putting. Service was quick and kind, a little pushy at the end, the server came up to me and handed me the bill while I was still eating and not even half way through with my meal. Would I go back, would I recommend to friends? I would get the food again, now knowing how the menu works, but I would get it to go since the inside is depressing. I would recommend to a friend, but everything in mind that I just said. Fix the inside of your restaurant and I bet you get more to come, fix your menu so that it's not miss leading and you'll have happier customers. Don't be like everyone else in Keene, that is mediocre food and terrible service. Be better than that, after all you were featured as some of the best BBQ.

So close to being excellent. Airline Chicken needs more sauce and salt. Lacking a little punch but…read moregood. The tenderness of the Chicken was superb. 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.

My boyfriend and I were visiting the Keene area for vacation and stumbled upon this restaurant…read morewhile searching for dinner places. The ambience of the restaurant is elegant but also cozy. 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!

Penuche's. The Nooch…read more A friend of mine told me a story about the time he accidentally (his words) smoked crack in Penuche's. IN the bar. Penuche's has three locations in New Hampshire - I've only ever been to the Keene one. They have cheap beer, and The Nooch is well known and loved by all who like to drink. It's dark and dirty in here, clouds of cigarette smoke (before the fascists banned smoking in NH) and free, all you can eat, super salty popcorn. By cheap beer I mean they have a Kick the Keg special nearly every weekend, in which draughts are fifty or seventy five cents. Long Trail for a buck on Thursdays - cheap shots, and so on... Another thing - this is the kind of place where if you walk in before noon on a Tuesday and order a few rounds of bourbon and a bunch of beers, nobody looks at you like you're weird or something. Odds are you won't be the only one doing it. Overall, a legendary and heroic monument to drunkeness, alcoholism, and good old fashioned fun.
