The Ridge Eat & Drink

First time visitors today and I must say, we've never been to a less friendly "neighborhood bar". The bartender with teal hair was nothing short of hostile. My husband requested a non-rye whiskey drink and she gave him a rye one anyways "because she already started on it". My flank steak was bland and didn't come with the grits at all advertised on the menu. A family of 5 got up and walked out shortly after ordering their drinks because of the service. We won't be back.

Bar food and some plated entrees . Kinda an industrial space. Frequently uncomfortably cold in winter for some reason.
Recently I went in waiting a cheeseburger. They have about a half dozen on the menu, but a regulation normal burger is ordered specially.
Burger was fine but not as tasty as Mudtown, which I thought was odd since the two restaurants are related.
I've never had a bad dish here. It's a neighborhood fundrinkery, and about the best option in Rocky Ridge area.

Stumbled on this gem of a restaurant that is hidden upstairs. It was definitely a family and locals spot which added to the atmosphere. The food was incredible.

We stopped in for a celebratory drink after closing on the sale of our family home 🥳🥂 We didn't plan on eating, but the menu was too tempting. I had the Reuben Rolls, and they were delicious 😋

Reminds me of a dive bar I went to back in the day went in for some on tap beer and some grub. Corn dog was extremely burnt inedible outside the tater tots were Def on crispy side which I liked so I ate them but left the corn dog. The waiter was great nice service he saw the corn dog and was able to void the burnt corn dog which was great. Had some IPA which was good upon recommendation liked that they had an outside smoking area and banter between staff outside will probably be back give it another try so that's why 1 star food.

Parking: Parked in the gym lot nearby busy area

Great food and service. It is no wonder that twisted root shut down across the street. Burgers were a great choice. The second floor aspect was as cool too.

Food was good once we got it. Took almost an hour. Unfortunately, we had a old obnoxious drunk lady at the bar for entertainment.

I’ve been here for over 20 years and remember when The Ridge first opened. It’s a great neighborhood joint overall but it’s become mediocre for the price. Food tonight wasn’t hot, it was the same thing I’ve ordered for easily over 10 years now and with tip tonight for 3 people and 1 drink it was $80! Hardly neighborhood family prices.
