“First time visiting today with my wife and sister in law. Food and service was great, ribs were awesome. A smash burger for $8.00 and change, what a bargain. Owner checked in with us very friendly, I would absolutely drive the hour and half from my house and come back. A nice hidden gem.”

Dietary restrictions: Although the options and entrees on the menu don't say they are gluten-free many are and the staff confirmed the entrees did not have gluten.”

“Heart healthy and delicious food. Fresh sushi. Great ambiance and very clean place. Wonderful service by Gap. Kevin, the chef/owner is very talented sushi master! Best Sushi in NH. I ordered several apps to get a sampling and I ordered sushi and sashimi with crab. love it.”

“Amazing dinner! Wished I lived closer! Best food I’ve had in a very long time and I live near Boston. Every bite of the Homemade pasta with peas, mint, ricotta salata and brown butter was full of flavor. Best arugula salad, simple and light but again full of flavor. Lovely atmosphere where you can actually have a conversation comfortably. Excellent service too! Hope to be back soon!”

“LongHorn Steakhouse in Keene is a fantastic spot for a great meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need.

The food is consistently delicious—steaks are cooked perfectly to order, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides, like the loaded baked potato and seasoned fries, are always fresh and tasty. Their bread and butter are a great start to the meal, and the salads are crisp and well-prepared.

The service is quick, and even when it's busy, they manage to keep things running smoothly. It’s clear the team takes pride in what they do. If you’re looking for a reliable steakhouse in Keene with great food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere, LongHorn is the place to go!

Vegetarian options: Yes!

Parking: Several Handicap spots nice and close to the door.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

“Terrific craft brew and tasty bites. Definitely a fun space with live music. Enjoyed it very much.”

“The food is good here! Im glad we ordered again, we are not disappointed!!!”

“For years the BBQ Sundae has been an absolute game-changer! This creative dish layers all the BBQ goodness in a cup like a sundae: perfectly smoked pulled pork on top of creamy mac and cheese, with a foundation of delicious baked beans or grits, all crowned with a dollop of coleslaw. The combination of flavors and textures is incredible - smoky, savory, creamy, and with just the right touch of sweetness.
The portion size was generous, and the presentation was fun and Instagram-worthy. The staff was friendly and clearly passionate about their food. I've tried BBQ all over New England, and CC&D's definitely stands out among the best. Their market also has great grab-and-go options, but that BBQ Sundae is what will keep me coming back again and again. If you're anywhere near Keene, NH, do yourself a favor and try this unique BBQ creation!”

“Salt & Lime has delicious food. We ordered from the hospital and they took our call earlier in the morning to let us know the specials. We arrived and they had everything hot and waiting within 25 mins. The food was out of this world. The pad Thai street fries, chicken pineapple bowl, Buffalo peanut nachos. All incredible. I highly recommend them!!”

“Best pizza I’ve had in a while! Not super greasy, the vegetable toppings we got were so fresh! And they did not skimp out on toppings either! Reasonably priced, good food, and friend mom&pop pizza joint!”

“My husband Daron and I hired Frisky Cow Gelato for our wedding dessert and Elijah was so accommodating and helpful! Our guests RAVED about the delicious gelato flavors! It was so fun to be able to visit the space, hear about the history and taste test the gelato before choosing the flavors for our big day. We cannot recommend them enough!”

“I’m from the area and I love taking a walk around downtown Keene. A great little space to peacefully read your book and enjoy a latte☕️”

“Brittney’s artistic genius took my daughter’s 40th birthday 🎂 over the top!!! The birthday cake she created was a delicious work of art! She turned my jumbled up ideas into an elegant show stopper 💙(to say nothing about the variety of cupcakes 🧁) I highly recommend B Bakes Deli & Cakes! I wish I could post a picture!”

“The cookies here are sooo good and nice to look at. I drive by here all the time and finally visited them today.... they are now my favorite sweet treat place to go!!! Nice people!!!”

“Today was our first time visiting Ricks. Fast friendly service and we will definitely be returning customers.”

“Really great bakery — didn’t know about them until recently as they are tucked far back in the corner of the plaza. They offer fresh baked breads, pastries, espresso style coffee drinks, and even some sandwiches for lunch.”

“Buffalo wings are very good! Bartenders are very nice! Will be back again!!!”

“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.”

“Iam hooked on the Turmeric Latte! Delish🙌”

“First time visiting Keene and saw this deli so I had to try it. I got an Italian sub and man it was huge!! The sub was excellent and you can definitely tell it was fresh from the bread to the meats. It was delicious and quick. There is a cash and credit price just an FYI”

“My family loves D’Angelo’s sandwiches, especially the hot ones. They offer unique subs that other sandwich shops simply don’t have. Their bread is always fresh — never dry or soggy — and the ingredients are cooked right in front of you in an open kitchen. The prices are reasonable, and the parking lot is quite large, shared with Dunkin’ Donuts. However, the entrance can be somewhat challenging to navigate if you have a wheelchair or a stroller, although it is manageable. The inside is a bit small but features dining booths. Overall, it’s a great place to grab a quick sub for lunch or dinner. They offer online ordering and delivery which is helpful , gift cards and catering for that special occasion as well. My favorites on the menu is the “Thanksgiving” and “number nine” I have never had a bad sandwich of all the twenty years I've been a customer.”

“Food was delicious! Best crab Rangoon in town.”

“Orderd a cake for our sons 10th Birthday, we gave Amy picture for inspiration and she Nailed it!!!! cake was moist and delish!!! Will be ordering more!!”

“I ordered food for a party I was having this past weekend and the food was amazing! The portions were fantastic (had more then enough), all containers were labeled,they provided serving utensils and it was all boxed and ready to go when I got there! They also helped me load it all into my car. So impressed with everything and will definitely be ordering from them in the future for any other gatherings that come up!”

“We bought 4 cookies and they were all so delicious. I would highly recommend.”

“The best Reubens around. Their corned beef will not disappoint. Juicy and tender and a real treat.”

“Tried 4 different IPA's. All excellent. I totally agree with one of the other posts. I'd put Modestman IPA's up against the more hyped/ popular Breweries. Too bad they dont serve food anymore, but they do allow u to bring ur own. Plan ahead... it's worth it!”

“Perfect way to start the day.”

“Good quality and interesting flavors”

“Ham & Turkey & pepper-jack sandwich was fresh and delicious. The bacon, tomato, ranch pasta salad was incredible. Be sure to try it!”

“looking for a spot for lunch on the way home so tried here, it was on my yelp list so here we are...gee parked right in front so that was nice...sort of old and worn looking inside with newer fixtures sometimes...interesting nicely produced menu with interesting items , dirty pickle was an interesting martini and the coffee was good and refillable..pancake fan i was with loved the giant blueberry pancake and even she could not finish it, fan that she is...i had the summer heat chicken, not really spicy (good) and good...service was pleasant. we will be back to try the brunch again!!!!”

“We got delivery from Underdog for the first time. Our food was delicious , definitely found a new favorite pizza joint . Will definitely be ordering again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Quaint friendly atmosphere. Food was good, hot and quick. Good size portions. Limited alcohol selection. Located near down town Keene, and just down the street from Keene State College. You can always find the locals in there.

Kid-friendliness: Good amount to choose from.

Wheelchair accessibility: 1st floor, plenty of room to move around.”

“Lab and Lager is the best!! Very friendly and an amazing mix of customers. Old, young, blue collar and professional. We make it a point to visit once a week and I'm in my 70s.”

“We get our hot dog, brioche burger rolls and sourdough bread for our food truck from the Bread Shed, and it has made all the difference!!! The bread is phenomenal, and our customers love it!! Thank you Bread Shed!!!”

“This spot is great. Nice bartenders, great value for food and drinks, and fun-loving locals. The outdoor space is awesome. We love coming here with bigger groups, especially after rugby practices/games. Try the burger… you won’t be disappointed!”

“Kayden! Shes great! shes the joy in the store. the most enthusiastic customer service in any restaurant I've been to in Keene! She [sparkling Santa hat] should be recognized! way to go! Try the Thai Chicken! so good!”

“I don’t care what anyone else says, this place is very kid friendly, very people friendly, and just all around great quality. Jimmy and the other staff were very helpful when we said this was our first time having the food and they even gave us a sample to try! Definitely recommend!”

“This is inside the Hannahford grocery store . Not bad for premade sushi. If your after good sushi in Keene I'd recommend Cherry Garden on Main Street. But if your press for time and want easy parking it's not a terrible alternative.”

“Absolutely delighted with the exquisite treats crafted by Sarah! Her maple pecan Danish is an absolute masterpiece that stole my taste buds' hearts. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with the perfect balance of maple sweetness and rich pecan goodness. Sarah's dedication to her craft shines through in every bite. I'm already counting down the days until I can indulge in another delightful treat from her bakery. If you're looking for a delightful culinary experience, look no further than Blue House Baker!”

“We’ve had lunch here several times. The food is consistently good, service quick and attentive and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant could use some upgrades but it’s always clean.”

“Keene, New Hampshire. A town known for rowdy college blowouts and an obsession with pumpkins that borders on cult-like. It’s not the place you’d expect to find a brewery serving margarita flights that make you question your passport status — but here we are.

Elm Brewery is a refuge. A brick-and-wood sanctuary where good beer flows and the lighting makes everyone look 15% more interesting. The ale? It's the kind of stuff that makes you want to storm into a boardroom and shout, “Bottle this now, you cowards.” It's damn good — smooth, flavorful, like it was brewed with actual pride and a touch of rebellion.

The food is comfort with a capital “C.” I ordered the beef stroganoff — and yes, it came with meatballs. Not traditional, but I’m not mad about it. Creamy, rich, a little indulgent — like something your Eastern European grandma would make if she smoked weed and listened to Metallica.

My brother made the tactical error of ordering the cheesesteak, which he didn’t love. (You go to a brewery in New Hampshire and expect Philly-level cheesesteak? Rookie move.) But the fried mushrooms and spinach artichoke dip? Beautiful. Golden-fried perfection and gooey, cheesy goodness. The kind of bar snacks that keep you from ever leaving.

And then there were the margarita flights. Four mini glasses of pure tropical escapism. Lime, spice, maybe even some fruit you can't pronounce — it was like a Cancun beach party in a snow globe. Weirdly magical.

The staff? On point. Friendly without being fake. The kind of people who look you in the eye, know their menu, and don’t mind a weird question or two.

Elm Brewery isn’t trying to be trendy. It’s not chasing hashtags or TikTok fame. It’s just doing its thing — and doing it well. If you're in Keene and need a break from pumpkin mobs or college-town chaos, this is your place. Grab a seat, order a beer, and enjoy the ride.”

“Service is always great. They're super quick.

The fries don't seem to be quite as good as they used to be, maybe they aren't adding as much salt. Either way, the burgers always hit the spot.”

“I'm very sorry to leave this bad review,we like to support local restaurants. As someone who has been to Jamaica, the food tastes nothing like Jamaican food. We ordered two dishes, Jamaican steak tips (6 small steak tip chunks, rice and beans) as well as the Jamaican ribs (4 short ribs with Mac n cheese). The tips, rice and beans, ribs, Mac and cheese had absolutely zero spice to it. The tips were tiny and for $19 only 6! We received 4 small ribs around the same price. The mac and cheese was overcooked. We expected Jamaican flavored food. The portions are painfully small. Not entirely sure your bartenders are supposed to be drinking behind the bar. Please supply your bathrooms with hand soap! I do hope this criticism will help your establishment make some changes.”

“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.”

“Fantastic service, delicious food! Thanks for making our date night, perfect!”

“Best pizza place in town! Fresh ingredients, always quick with service, never get my order wrong, and is in an easy location to get in/out of. Friendly staff, very clean, lots of places to sit inside and outside.”

“This place is great! Best food around!”

“Free parking out front of this nice place for a sandwich, pizza or more. Family atmosphere with clean restrooms and beer and wine available. We enjoyed a pizza and soft drink, free refills available. Pizza is made to order and served hot, by a friendly staff. Dining is inside or outside on a few tables in the parking lot. Prices are competitive and I can recommend this place for casual dining.

Parking: Parking is available out front and is free.

Kid-friendliness: Pizza place for family dining.”

“Just an all together amazing dinner and wonderful time. The staff is the best and the food is outta this world. Thank you”

“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.”

“Love the food especially the Turkey burger!!!!”

“Great place. Staff was friendly & attentive. Cocktails were fantastic.”

“I went today,Aug 16 to Applebee s Lunch at 11.00 while waiting for my tires to be changed at Town Fair ,in the same plaza.Oh,my god the food was fantastic and the service amazing,I ordered 2 Bourbon Steaks since I stopped by with my friend.The steaks were just amazing,I don t remember the name of the server but she was just so nice.Guys you are amazing .I am coming there with my wife even if we live 60 miles away...”

“Line dancing nights are always a blast! The atmosphere is fun, the drink deals are great, and the staff is always friendly every time I’ve gone. Plus, the wings are surprisingly good! Definitely a fun spot to check out for dancing and a good time”

“The chicken chimmi’s and the grilled mahi tacos”

“Have eaten here several times most of it has been take out but food is always fresh and service is great. Had a pastrami sub with peppers and onions grilled, my wife a and sister in law had steak and cheese subs. All were delicious and hot.”

“The food was excellent and the owner was a true delight. We will be back.”

“The Keene Jersey Mike's has an excellent, hands on, customer service oriented manager, Liz. She is noticeably hard working. Her team is professional and efficient. Great food and service!”
