Fritz’s Restaurant

We are updating our review. We took home the Mushroom Soup and the Risotto Fritters and they were terrific! We are looking forward to our next visit, which could be this coming weekend.

I love when NB has new food options. Went for lunch one day and tried their roast beef sandwich. I have to say, it was quite tasty. The horseradish mayo MADE it though. I had to ask for more on the side because it really accentuated the sandwich. My only complaint was that it was $ 9.50 and the sandwich wasn’t that big and didn’t come with a drink or side or anything. Personally, I would say it should be $ 6.50 or $ 7.50 instead, especially in a college town.
I would still come back to try some of their other sandwiches, soups, and whatnot. Cute place.

The banana chip bread, Tuscan grilled/​crispy chicken sandwich, and sweet potatoes fries have been my go to picks the last 5 times I’ve been here! The atmosphere is very homey and «Instagram worthy», and the workers are very friendly and polite as well!
I docked a star because they tend to forget things in my order when I order pick up– like if I ordered soup, they would give me a piece of bread one time and forget the next. Also, not all the dishes live up to the Tuscan. My boyfriend tried a few of their other sandwiches but agrees with me that the Tuscan is the best.

Great lunch here at this Easton Ave restaurant at the heart of Rutgers. I had a beer battered fish sandwich which was serve hot and was delicious. Generous portion though it lack accompaniments. One very small pickle slice was all it was served with. It could have had a few fries or chips with it for $ 10.

This place is awesome!!! I had the fried chicken with a Fritz style with truffles fries! The food was on point. My friend made a reservation for our group and the workers were happy to see us indulge in their tasty food. They cater to their customers. Small place but I loved it. I’ll be going there again

This place is A-​MAZING! I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with coleslaw and it was awesome. They even bake their own bread! I tried the lindsor cookie and the salted caramel brownie. wow.

I’ve gone to Fritz since it opened and I think I am becoming a bit of a regular. Their brownies and blondies are to die for! They melt in your mouth. Also their crispy buffalo chicken sandwich is the best crispy chicken I’ve ever had, not to mention their sweet potato fries are delicious. My boyfriend and I come too often but its so hard not to since the food is amazing and the prices are very reasonable.
Also they are putting in a to-​go window! I am so excited to be able to get Fritz late night before the bars. 110% recommend.

I want to start this review off stating that I have been here two times and anticipated to go a third time before giving my overall review but I just could not bare to make myself go here again. Maybe I was just unfortunate to not have the best experience there two times in a row because I truly wanted to love this place because it has the atmosphere that I love for a classic small town homey restaurant and such a great idea for New Brunswick.
Upon walking into Fritz’s you are instantly immersed in a rustic small town establishment hidden in New Brunswick. It really isn’t like anything else here so it really has that going for it. The décor is beautiful, the tables, chairs, and silverware are all perfect for the vibe they are going for, and the bathroom is well kept. The menu covers all the bases from breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert I’m sure something there will tickle your fancy.
I must also note that the service was always exceptional and the staff was always very attentive to my needs.
The first time I came here I ordered a burger Fritz’s style done medium well with a side of fries. The wait time was only about 15 minutes so that was perfectly fine and the food was presented in a nice fashion. So I sit there and think to myself that this place will no doubt earn a four-​five star review. I go for my first bite and grease drips all out of the burger and instantly makes the bun soggy and terribly hard to handle. This had to be one of the greasiest burgers I have ever had in my life. Fortunately, the burger was at least cooked correctly. A burger should never be drooling onto someones plate, it was disgusting. Basically, I left here quite unhappy but I knew I had to give the place another shot before reviewing.
I eventually came back weeks after the first initial visit to give Fritz’s another shot at satisfying me, because like I said before I really wanted to love this place. Coming in the second time, I decided to order a spread of food with my girlfriend to really try more than one menu item. We ordered a grilled chicken sandwich Fritz’s style, a side of buffalo wings, and broccoli cheddar soup. Once again, we waited about 15 minutes and received our food. Our grilled chicken sandwich was slightly undercooked so needless to say we did not eat it after a bite or two. Moving on to the buffalo wings, the flavor was great, the size was miniature. The wings were rather expensive for the size so that was a bit of a let down in that department. The broccoli cheddar soup was decent but nothing to come back for, even though it was probably the best part of the meal. A few hours after eating here I believe I may have been overcome with a bug because I was very sick for the rest of the evening.
I originally wanted to have my third visit to be for breakfast to review, but after my last experience there I could not muster up the confidence to give it another try or waste my money here to just be disappointed again. Maybe their breakfast hits it out of the park and makes up for the other aspects, I am unsure, you would have to read another review to confirm it.
All in all, Fritz’s has an amazing atmosphere and the concept is a great idea with the possibility of being a diamond in the rough of pizza and fat sandwich restaurants around here, but a restaurant starts with the kitchen and the product; not the front of house.
Additionally, a note to management — for Fritz’s style aioli, thicken it up a little bit, more like a spread instead of a soup consistency would be nice.

This place has the greatest homemade food I’ve ever eaten. Not to mention the delicious pastries that are scratch made! The staff is helpful and extremely friendly. They make you feel right at home. My husband and I will be back often and most likely make this our new date spot. Totally in love! A must try!

I really wanted to like this place but I left so disappointed. Got the grilled cheese and tomato soup — a perfect combo for a cold, snowy day right? Wrong. BF got the grilled chicken tuscan sandwich and truffle fries. The food took at least 30 min to come out and when it did it was all coldddd. As cold as my numb fingers & toes. They were busy I’ll give them that, but very very disappointing. At least I had my soup to bring my grilled cheese back to a reasonable temp… I guess.
BF liked the tuscan chicken sandwich buy aside from it being cold, the portion was small.
I want to give this place another try, but how do you f up a grilled cheese?

Living in New Brunswick one tends to have a limited variety of options to choose from when it comes to quality food. Everything in the area tends to be either pizza, burgers, or fat sandwiches… but Fritz’s surprised me and brought a whole new style into town.
Upon entering the café you can immediately appreciate the décor and cleanliness of the place. It’s very cozy, simplistic, and well kept. The staff never fails to greet you with a smile on their face and always offer fantastic customer service by recommending items, answering questions, or allowing you to taste some of their baked goodies. All things that heavily tie into the success of this place.
When I first checked out the menu I was happy to see how many options they had to offer for being such a new place. They have a breakfast menu, salads, sandwiches, soups, coffees, baked goods, and more. There is a wide variety of healthy, sweet, savory, vegetarian, guilty pleasures and more options offered. As a college student I also really appreciated the reasonable prices for all of the items :) I’ve ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup, truffled fries, Fritz’s crispy chicken sandwich, red velvet oreo cookie, and blueberry bar so far and I instantly fell in love. All of these items were SO delicious and melted in my mouth. They have really nailed the flavors, quality, and freshness of their products.
Fritz’s has quickly taken the lead as my favorite place in town. This place is so different then what this college town is used to and it’s so exciting to see this new gem adjusting and getting praise in town. It’s apparent that the owners and staff have worked very hard to make Fritz’s as wonderful as it is. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good food and a friendly and cozy atmosphere!

Fried Risotto, Grilled Chicken Quinoa Bowl, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Blueberry Pie Bar and Peanut Butter Cookies. Everything was Delicious!!! Service Excellent!!! I’m very Impressed.
You should definitely check out fritz’s in New Brunswick.

Got myself a piece of the best seller: a salted caramel blondie! I must say that they met my expectations after seeing how much everyone raved about them. Only thing I wish is that I had ordered one freshly baked because I wanted it hot but it was still nice and sweet and a great texture.
Can’t wait to come back and give a review of the food but so far so good!

Today was my first time trying this new little spot in New Brunswick right in the college area. It’s a has a nice wood finish on the inside along with a good amount of seating. If you can’t grab a table you can order to go. My family really enjoyed what they had to offer. Daily soup specials, different cold and hot sandwiches along with salads. They also offer a good amount of breakfast items as well. Now if you are just in the mood for something sweet they got you covered along with a hot coffee. Today I had the Tuscan style burger cooked to perfection with great flavors, my youngest daughter had grilled cheese which was super yummy along with Broccoli cheddar soup. My other daughter had the nachos which she loved. My mother in law ordered side of Hash Browns which aren’t your normal hash browns. Very good! Also ordered Zoodles which was freshly made Zucchini noodles along with a light sauce. My father in law ordered tuna on poppy seed bread and had it along one of there freshly made salad. Now we come to the sweets which are so good. I had a caramel blondie brownie so gooey and my daughter had strawberry bomb shell and she loved it. If you are in the area stop in or call in a take out order. I wish all of them the best of luck and I will be back.

What a cool spot! You should definitely check out Fritz’s the next time you find yourself in New Brunswick!!! It’s located in a renovated 1800’s home, and the design inside is really cool. You can tell how much thought and time went into the renovation. There’s reclaimed wood everywhere, but it’s a really fresh take on a restaurant. Bakery is on premises, which is why everything is so freakin delicious.
Now on to the food… A+!! The word of the day here is QUALITY! To start, we ordered the bacon jalapeño dip that came with freshly fried chips. The chips were somewhere in between a pita chips and thin potato chip. It was so good, and not spicy. My boyfriend ordered the Reuben sandwich– the meat on it was so tender. I got the crispy chicken sandwich, Tuscan style. Holy crap was it good! Not sure how the get the chicken so crispy without it being greasy, but it was outstanding. From what I understand, it’s a best seller, and now I know why! The bread was probably my favorite part of the whole meal. You can taste the freshness. We took home dessert because they were so pretty, we couldn’t resist; bf picked the maple walnut scone and I got the salted caramel blondie. We ate it later that night and I don’t regret the extra calories– they were both outta this world! Do yourself a favor and GET A DESSERT! If you’re too full because you basically licked your tray clean, like we did, make sure u bring some baked good home with you. There are a ton of delicious treat options.
Service was just as good as the food! Our waitress was super friendly and extremely attentive. So many smiles with the staff here. The chef is someone to look out for! I will try anything he puts on the menu and I’m sure I’ll love it.
Bottom line, you HAVE to stop in here ASAP. The quality of the food is simplu outstanding. And it’s so affordable! Even the college kids can afford to eat here without sacrificing quality. I will be coming here very often. Can’t wait to see what the outside will look like is the summer time (they’ve got a wrap around porch in the front that’s super cute).
¡Buen provecho!

Delicious, real food. I’ve lived in New Brunswick my whole life and have been waiting for a quality restaurant like this on Easton Avenue! All of the food and baked goods are fresh and made at the restaurant, not prepackaged or frozen. The coffee is freshly ground daily and delicious! They even have homemade syrups for the coffee. Everything is very affordable considering the high quality/​large portions of the food. When you walk in you really just get the sense that the staff genuinely cares about providing great food and service. And the food is so so good. I frequently order the chicken sandwich, any of the soups, and coffee!
Everything is made to order (about 10 – 15 min wait) so you might want to call ahead if you’re in a rush!

If you haven’t been here yet, YOU NEED TO GO! My wife and I ordered breakfast sandwiches and hash browns. They were all out of this world. We also tried the salted caramel blonde. It was equally as awesome.
The service was top notch as well. The staff was quick and friendly.
I’ll definitely be going back here regularly. You should too.

The breakfast bread — Tuscan style with agrodolce peppers … Yummy! You won’t be disappointed !!

I think I just found my new favorite place in New Brunswick… I left Fritz’s about 30 minutes ago and my boyfriend & I are STILL smiling talking about much we LOVEDDD it.
First of all, it’s only been open for 3 weeks. I’m usually forced to be very patient with new businesses like this because they have quite figured out how to «function» yet. Well, not Fritz’s! Every little single detail from the décor, food, to service was perfectly executed. I truly couldn’t be more impressed.
Upon entering, we were greeted with a tray of one of their best sellers– salted caramel brownies fresh out of the oven;) The staff quickly cut us up some samples and it was love at first bite.
Everything looked absolutely amazing. if my stomach could fit it, I would have ordered everything in the store!
Sweet items: brownies, breads, pretzels, raspberry & lemon bars, peanut butter bites, macaroons, along with some others.
Savory items: OMG. They have breakfast breads made on homemade brioche bread. I didn’t notice these until I placed my order or I would have 100% ordered one of those babies. They also serve breakfast sandwiches (only on the weekends) that I have a feeling are going to blow away the rest of New Brunswick in that department.
My boyfriend and I ended up splitting a salted caramel brownie and the chocolate chip banana bread – both were delicious! We seriously can’t wait to try all Fritz’s has to offer during the rest of the school year ;)
Now that’s enough of the food talk. I really admire their creativity to take an old New Brunswick house and repurpose it into something so adorable! And the service was truly the perfect topping onto our experience at Fritz’s. Both Rebecca and Jennifer went above & beyond to provide us with the best experience possible. I’ve never experienced such loving service from any other business in the area.
I have a feeling I’m going to naturally take it upon myself to become Fritz’s new spokesperson because I can’t wait to get all my friends to go here! I’ll 110% be back here. A LOT.

This place is amazing!!! Everything is good but I personally love their bake goods and the French onion soup! It’s so different from any of the other New Brunswick place it! The customer service is outstanding and everything is house made!!! Get the French onion soup you won’t be disappointed.
