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.

There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

So we heard about this place on one our trips to Keene. First time we ventured over, we picked a…read moreday when they were closed. Second time, we just stopped in for drinks. Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.

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.

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.

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 don't understand how a chain restaurant, where I thought would have some sort of quality control,…read moreis just so bad. We've eaten here twice in the last 9 months and the food is bad. They over season their food to the point it is borderline inedible. The steak I had there was way too salty, which is hard for a cut of beef, and the second time I had wings, and they were so salty as to be caustic. I literally felt salt burns on lips. I'm not a huge chain person and places like this are why. We've had tough luck finding good food in Keene. Maybe there's something in the water?

We would definitely go again. If this review was helpful, please tap the thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

Overall 5/5 Highly recommend and we will definitely make it a point to come back if we are in the area again!

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.

Please consider returning some of these favorites to your menu. They're not tired, they're a comfort. : )
