We wanted to like the Fritz, having heard the food was good. However, dinner for four of us was a disaster. The owner/chef seated us, dropped soiled paper menus on our table, came back for the order and belittled a member of our party for not understanding the menu layout. Each of the four entrees came at different times: between... More

This restaurant offers great value for what you get. I tried several small plates. All were flavorful and fresh. Very reasonable prices on food and wine. Owner and staff went out of there way to accommodate us. Would recommend. Try the beet salad and be sure to try a daily special. The restaurant sources the best available natural meats and... More

I went here based on a recommendation of local people in the town. We were greeted fairly quickly, although the server/host seemed confused about something, so he took a while to seat us... We ordered the mac and cheese and the hamburger special with sweet potato fries. It took about 30 minutes for the food to arrive. While we were... More

The food and atmosphere are amazing!!! We asked a local where we should eat and he said The Fritz......and then said the service is not the worst service in the world but close (and he was right). I don't say that to put down the cool employees at The Fritz - just to set a possible expectation for a future... More

Passing though Salida on a recent week day we were looking for a lunch place. Our timing was bad because many places close at 2PM; we tried Laughing Ladies and the Patio Pancake House but no luck. Eventually we wound up at The Fritz. There were a few patrons in this small bar/restaurant but it still had a sort of... More

Their small plates, wine-by-the-glass program, food & wine quality, and service were excellent, as usual. They permitted us to bring our pooch for patio dining which was grand.

The fritz was a nice experience. Our bartender/waiter was fun. I was a little disappointed in the chicken and Brie sandwich (my wife liked it) and i would probably order what she had: the burger of the day when we go back next time in Salida

Just ok. Small bar menu. Couldn't find anything "normal" to eat. Dead atmosphere for a Friday evening.

You never know what they'll be offering at The Fritz. Fabulous specials and a constantly changing menu keep it from getting stale. At least the special burger will always be worth consideration. Inside is warm and retro, and if it's warm the patio is cool.
