14 Best American Restaurants in Keene

“We had a wonderful lunch at The Stage Restaurant in Keene! The atmosphere was classy but comfortable — upscale without feeling stuffy. The food was absolutely top-notch.
We started with the fried Brussels sprouts, which were so good! The maple aioli that came with them was a match made in heaven — I even asked for extra so I could dip my sweet potato fries in it later.
My husband ordered the Nouveau Burger, cooked to perfection, and I had the fish sandwich with those amazing fries. Everything was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented.
The service and overall vibe made it such a great experience. We left full and happy, and we’re already looking forward to going back!“

“My family of 7 went there last week , there was a little wait for a 7pm reservation but we’ll worth it. We had a large variety of dishes to try as two people in the group ordered two dinners each. From the ribs to meatballs and Delmonico steak. Everything was so good and plenty of food on the plate. The waitress kept my brother and his wife with drinks galore and plenty of jokes . It was a fun night.“

“I hosted my mother’s surprise 70th birthday luncheon at the country club this past weekend, and I cannot say enough positive things about the entire experience. From the earliest stages of planning to the final moments of the event, the staff went above and beyond to make the day seamless, elegant, and truly unforgettable.

Manager Greg was a phenomenal communicator from start to finish. He responded promptly, stayed organized, and even printed out my customized event timeline so the staff could follow it effortlessly. He also allowed us to arrive as early as we needed to decorate and set up, which made an enormous difference. Being able to get in early and customize the space to perfectly match our vision helped us feel prepared rather than rushed — and it set the tone for a relaxed and joyful celebration.

When we walked into the room, it was already beautifully arranged and thoughtfully prepared. The club offered us a gorgeous, clean, and polished space that we could make our own, and the staff was extremely accommodating of our décor and layout preferences.

Our waitstaff, Jen and Raquel, were absolutely wonderful. They were warm, patient, and especially attentive to our older guests. They adapted effortlessly as the afternoon unfolded and ensured every guest felt cared for.

Our bartender, Ellie, was friendly, quick, and easy to work with — drinks were served efficiently and with a smile, which our guests truly appreciated.

A special thank-you as well to Kelly, the event coordinator, who made sure every detail behind the scenes was in order. Her coordination helped bring all the moving parts together flawlessly.

The food was exceptional, and I heard from countless guests about how delicious it was. The presentation, quality, and flavor exceeded expectations and were a highlight of the event.

Overall, the entire team was professional, gracious, and genuinely invested in helping us create a meaningful and memorable celebration. I would absolutely host another event here without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone planning a special gathering.“

“Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Loved the seasonal drink options, it was hard to decide but couksnt go wrong either way. The food was delicious, we got the tacos and Mr Miyagi and the flavors were perfect. The dessert menu options was limited but it was during the week“

“A regular stop for my wife and I, so maybe I am a bit biased but here are my takeaways from a retail management perspective.

- new to us menu items: Veggie burger made in house with a few familiar flavors but still guessing the recipe, excellent texture. A solid choice for those with or without vegetarians preferences. Tortellini had a simple & classic taste profile with plenty of color from the veggies.

- Spinach & Artichoke dip! Always our go to appetizer, bagel chips aren’t always available but we got lucky with a generous amount of parm and seasonings. I swear they have updated the recipe because it’s better than ever.

- Waiter was pleasant & energetic, impressive on the tail end of a Sunday dinner shift. When we complimented the quick bar service, he was clearly very proud of the team he had with him. It’s great to see team recognition as part of a successful whole!“

“Over all great food. The pizza is as promised, it’s amazing. But no were on there Facebook page which is there only form of public communication besides there phone does it say they can’t do take out orders on Fridays. That might be a know thing but for a person new to the area they are not going to know.“

“Fritz has become a fast family favorite. The food is executed well and the service is friendly counter service. You can sit at the window and watch the town square as you enjoy a basket of perfectly crisp fries with your sauce of choice. They take gluten free seriously and have gf friers. Great relaxed family restaurant with quality salads, sandwiches, burgers and of course fries.“

“Nothing bad to say about the service or bar, but a note on the demographics - be aware this isn't the place for a single guy to go. I counted 4 women to 21 men on the way out and they were all there with someone. Not good or bad I guess, just informational to hopefully save someone else's time if they were in my shoes.“
