The building is huge and very clean - large enough for a lot of friends to gather and the patio space is nice. The restrooms were super clean which is one of my first markers that I judge in an eating establishment. We had a party of 4 and we arrived at 5 pm on a Tuesday and were able to sit at a large table immediately. Our server was friendly and very accommodating, and kept checking back as we looked at the menu.
For 4 of us we shared 3 appetizers and they were delicious : cheese curds, mac & cheese bites and queso and cheese. The serving of queso was not nearly enough for the chips but our server brought us more. It was a little spicier than most mexican restaurant queso but still good.
Our party had 6 pc wings (good , not spectacular) chicken strips (again, good) French Dip sandwich (horribly dry and seasoned oddly , overcooked -could not eat it at all ) and the brisket mac & cheese - this dish was horrendously awful - worse than the French Dip. The meat was dried out yet greasy at the same time and the mac & cheese was swimming in a lake of grease so that you could not even tell that it had cheese sauce . (one party member had mac & cheese as a side and while it tasted like Stouffer’s or GFS frozen mac & cheese it was still good and actually cheesy) . My mac & cheese had the cheese washed away by the lake of grease . I took it home to my dog who would not eat it (and mind you - he eats cat litter !!) The only reason I am giving them 3 stars instead of 1 is that their basic fried fare was ok and the server was wonderful.

The Food was amazing.
Brisket was the best I've had ever. The pulled pork was smokey and not dry.
The bar tender and waitress was so nice and made sure we enjoyed our time there. Definitely recommend this hidden gem.

Great brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. More meat than other BBQ places I've been. Side dishes also tasty. Very good service too.

Food was very expensive and wasn't very good. I got a pulled pork sandwich,diet coke and fried vegetables. The waitress took off $3.00 from my bill because my fried vegetables were burnt. My bill was $21.43 after the $3.00 deduction.I don't think I'll go back..it just wasn't good.

The food and service was amazing! Very authentic down home cooking! The waitress was very kind and prompt! My family and I are definitely impressed! Everyone should try this restaurant and taste the flavors that Americans now find sparse.

Parking: Parking was big enough for the grocery store and restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Didn't feel like anyone was annoyed by my inquisitive children.

Wait time BAD. Party of 2, brought 1 order said would be just a few minutes.(they ordered the daily special) 20 minutes later asked where rest of order was waitness forgot. How do you forget when you are the ONLY sitting customers. Food was not that good. Won't be back overall back experience.

Food was absolutely terrible,partly my fault for ordering later in the evening,my wings were unchewabale and very dry.I ordered from home and gave ritchies plenty of time to get the food ready I ended up showing up on time and spent 1/2 hour waiting on the food.Long enough to have a couple thirst quenchers.Absolutely an F All around as far as service and food quality.And for christ sakes smile and go above and beyond for the customer and at the end of the day the server and the customer will be happy.I promise I will not come back and will not suggest to any of my friends to visit.I Hate to say but I would rather go to ROOSTERS.DAMN!LOW BLOW!

Always good food. The owner is friendly and made sure everything was good with the meal and even brought me extra when I mentioned the portion size I got. Would eat there once or twice a week if it was closer to home.
