The Fritz

We really wanted to take our food back to our motel, but because of the holiday weekend, we had to eat there. We made it just before the dinner rush so we were seated immediately. The brussels sprouts were amazing but a bit too buttery. My chicken sandwich was amazing as were the sweet potato fries that accompanied them. My partner got the steak which was cooked to perfection. We will defiantly be back and suggesting this place to all our friends visiting Salida.

My friend and I stopped in here absolutely famished and we left completely satisfied. All the food really hit the spot. We decided to go family style and share everything because there were so many tempting menu items we wanted to try. The highlight was definitely the burger. It really hit the spot. The sweet potatoe fries were also delicious. The onion tart was really hyped up but we honestly thought that was just alright. The Mac and cheese was super yummy and comforting. Nice drink selection at the bar and happy they were carrying mezcal! Will definitely return when back in Salida.

Ordered the following:
Bottle of Malbec - good
French Onion Soup - Great
Ahi Tuna Salad - Great
Cuban Sandwich - Fair (not the best choice of Ham)
Mac N Cheese - Fair ( nicely toasted, but bland)

Overall, worth the visit. Nice atmosphere.

So glad The Fritz is back! Excellent menu with variety you don't find anywhere else in Salida. Wonderful cocktails with high end liquor selections, vintage glassware, experienced bartenders and funky mountain vibe. A must to visit!

Onion tart is the bomb! Friendly staff and nice vibe. Sat at the bar and it's a cozy cute place!

We had plenty of options for dining in Salida and I'm so glad my husband picked out The Fritz! The ambiance was nice: lower lighting and a friendly talkative crowd without being overly noisy. The building boasted brick walls with local art and high ceilings.

We were greeted by the bartender and seated right away (despite coming at 5pm on a Saturday) and brought waters.

The menu was smaller but had so many tasty options, it was tough to decide what to order. I appreciate their transparency that the menu is always changing and updating. They also bring our food as soon as it's ready, versus waiting to serve an entire table all at once, for optimal freshness.

We both felt our food was flavorful, creative and tasty (veggie sandwich, Korean chicken and waffles). If we find ourselves in Salida again for dinner we will absolutely visit The Fritz.

Erik the owner is a uncaring and an inattentive owner who lets his staff run around like crazy and he just sits at the bar and drinks.

This place is so mismanaged and so unorganized that food comes out when it's ready and one person can be on dessert and the other one is still on there appetizer.

Also unable to manage inventory so if you order some thing they'll come out and say oh we don't have anymore of that and oh we don't have any more of that two times they came back to our table and said that they didn't have what we had ordered.

Thank you Erik for our full meal it was well deserved that you paid for the lack of service that you provided. With attitude at that. Screaming at one of your patrons for your lack of management and in front of all your other customers is so unprofessional.

We will never be back and we actually steered other people away from this establishment upon our departure.

This place is no longer in business. Not sure what happened. Was nice place, sadly this business is shuttered. Closed. Out of business.

I have been here twice - once before Covid, and again this past weekend. Both times I had great meals, and the staff were great. This past visit, there were 4 of us, and we went with several appetizers accompanied by Boulevardiers. Other than the olives not wowing us, it was amazing. Our server was super nice and on top of it. As an added bonus, the music was on fire - super eclectic and there were disco lights to boot. We had a chance to meet the owner just to learn we hung in the same crowd back in the day. Next trip to Salida will most definitely include a dinner at The Fritz

Everything is great about this restaurant. It's cozy atmosphere, delicious and unique food, ambience, service. Highly recommended!

Excellent food @ reasonable prices, super friendly staff, fast service & a warm ambiance! I've been to Salida many times but have never been to The Fritz. Not sure why!

We got the corn/potato chowder, mushroom/celery root dish, mussels w/fries & quinoa. There were only 2 of us but we wanted to try it all!! All were plentiful & delicious! Took leftovers with us for lunch the next day.

Highly recommended! Not your typical bar food! Waaaay better!!
