“ Cute little place out in the middle of nowhere on the side of a mountain. Staff was very friendly and the food was great. The blue cheese is off the charts. It's so good they actually serve blue cheese in a bowl with crackers. ”
“ Amazing service amazing people. What a great place to go have lunch. The sauce was incredible. By the way the best beans I've ever had in my life. I never like beans up as a side in general. I would buy a gallon of them beans all day. I did enjoy your french fries they were also delicious. And I love my beef sandwich. But most of all I really loved the family style atmosphere that was in that place. Thanks for such a wonderful meal. ”

“ Excellent experience. Over the top service here. Our waitress really made us feel welcome here. The bbq was seriously delicious and done a bit different, which creates their own style. The beans were great .the beef and pork plate were equally satisfying. I spent a few days In Tennessee. Lots of people said I needed to try ridgewood bbq. I'm very happy that we got the chance to stop by . Treat yourself if you're in the area . Definitely worth it .... ”
“ Oh WOW. Yes, it is that good. Super friendly staff! Food was all excellent. You can tell all is homemade! Beanswe delicious, slaw was perfect with not too much mayo, fries are hand cut, and the BBQ is sliced! I know, that is not typical, but It was so good! They told me they use fresh hams instead of fresh shoulders, that makes the slicing possible. Finally, no matter what, get the blue cheese! Just dip crackers in it, fries, or put it on a salad, wow! We bought 2 pints of sauce, sweet but not too sweet, very good! Lot’s of tradition at this little place WAY off the beaten path basically in a residential area. Loved it and will be back many times! ”
“ For me: it’s always been delicious, fast, hot and great prices. Can’t go wrong with this place. On the weekends prepare to wait. You will get enough food to make you loosen your belt and still bring home enough for another meal. ”
“ The sliced barbecue pork is consistently excellent! You have to try the blue cheese dip with crackers and the barbecue beans. They are famous for these 3 items. The French fries are sliced fresh and all of the portions are generous. The building desperately needs updating. The floors and nearly everything else are worn out and stuck in the 1970s. ”
