With a love for the mountains, life near the water, and the name of a little spotted dog, The Fritz was launched over 10 years ago. Throughout that time, it has evolved and grown to offer interesting takes on modern cuisine, and old stand-by comfort foods that everyone can enjoy. This is all at the foot of the beautiful Sawatch mountains on the banks of the Arkansas river.
It's a combination that is hard to beat. We strive to continue to grow and hope you will join us on our journey. The Fritz menu consists of a range of internaltional cuisines. We focus on small plates inspired by our chefs' travels across the globe. From humble pate to elevated burgers, we meld the old with the new, and the familiar with the unexpected.

After researching menus in the area, the bold choices in ingredient combinations are what drew me in originally, and completely shattered my expectations. Every dish we ordered was wonderful. The chef clearly put incredible skill and effort into creating a unique and flavorful experience in every item on the menu. Am I the type of person who will drive three hours for bread pudding? Apparently I am now. Can’t wait to come back.

The serving sizes were very small and confusing by the menu as some were not listed under the small plates. I ordered the shrimp and grits and 4 shrimp came out on grits the size of a hockey puck, it was pretty good but I wouldn't have paid $15 for it if i had known. My brother and sisters serving sizes were also very small and overpriced. I don't know if maybe it just wasn't what we were expecting and people who come here are expecting these kinds of servings for that price???!?! but we were ready to chow down and left hungry. Also all of our food got brought out at different times

I've been coming here for years. The menu has changed dramatically in the last 10 years but for the better. They never disappoint. Today for lunch we had the ahi wonton, pork pot stickers, Asian salad with ahi and the prosciutto sandwich. Everything was delicious and fresh. If you are in Salida this is the place to eat. You won't be disappointed.

We came at an odd hour around 4 PM before heading out to watch all the live music! We got mac n cheese, truffle fries, and drinks for the table. I also got the asian salad with ahi tuna. The fries were amazing! My friend got the pate and when we asked the waitress what was actually in it she said "not sure, but to me it looks like cat food" and I could not agree more. The fault is solely on my friend for ordering this Lol. What the hell is pate? All I know is I will never order it. :)
They have Anthony Bourdain decorations inside!!!!!! The perfect example on how to be kind, but not

The small plates were very good. Had the elk sausage, bacon-wrapped dates, steak and brussies. The kids had the daily burger and mac&cheese. Great small menu, well executed. Our server? Don't think he preferred tourists, teens or early diners....not sure. He made us feel pretty unwelcome when hardly any patrons were there. He did seem to like this he knew personally though.

Went on a Wednesday for dinner. We all got the burger of the day with truffle fries. Truffle fries were good, would order them again. Ordered 2 burgers medium rare & 1 medium. Only one came out medium rare, the other two were medium well and well done. My side salad with burger was terrible, the greens were fresh but if it was dressed, I couldn't tell. Also a tomato in the salad was partly rotten...yuck. Everything suffered from a lack of seasoning. The 2 servers working the outside dining area were great but they were rushed off their feet. I guess like everyplace else, they are suffering

Mama was craving steak and bacon-wrapped dates. We aren't sure how the kids would do but the server assured us the mac n cheese was fancy yet didn't have breadcrumbs (my youngest kid's concerns.). As you can tell by the photo, they nailed it. He stole 4 pieces of my steak too (the plainer ones.) The jalapeño marg was awesome. I was bummed that the bacon-wrapped dates had blue cheese (not in description, and I have a dairy intolerance) and the steak was served with Hollandaise on top (even though I requested on side, due to same allergy but was sharing.) Brussels we're a tad

We came here based on a recommendation from a fellow Joyful journeys hot springs goer. This place is adorable & we've probably walked by here several times when in town but since they don't open till 4 we never visited.
I love the brick walls & art in this space. We started with an old fashioned & a blood orange margarita. Both were ok. More notable was the La Fin Du Monde on tap! We also decided to get the special which was Mussels & frites. First of all the aioli on the frites & mussels, I'm pretty sure crack was in it, IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! the mussels were

What a great first dining experience I had at The Fritz! Friendly wait staff, amazing food and an energetic atmosphere to boot!
Looking around the restaurant, you can see other Customers are happy too! Several parties patiently waited outside in the cold for a table to open up too. That says a lot!
The staff thanks patrons as they leave too. Very nice.
I had the Bibb lettuce salad, bacon wrapped dates and a burger. Each were exceptional!

This is a really great little bar and restaurant in downtown Salida. Fast service and great drinks and food. There burger of the day is constantly changing and is really good. You can combine little plates and big plates to give yourself a wonderful variety of interesting cuisine. Also try the ginger lemonade, it is delicious. Do not pass up the opportunity to try out this great place.

Phenomenal views, food and service. Kenneth took very good care of us out of towners. We made it there at the perfect time and got a window seat with views of Riverfront Park. Mussels were in abundance and hearty! The smoked trout- so good! Elk jalapeno sausage- WOW! I highly recommend this local eatery.
