I called ahead to order pick up and arrived to smiling greetings. I was looking for a healthy menu and this place is the holy grail! The menu is just perfect, with lots of delicious options..that are also healthy! I had the fresh Juice #3 carrot, beet, orange juice and I cannot talk this juice up enough!! The online menu says Juice #3 is cucumber, celery, apple but the online menu is not correct so just make sure if you order a number juice you ask what the ingredients are. However, it was the most delicious drink I've ever tasted. I won't forget to mention that their chicken avocado wraps and Strawberry & banana rolls are clearly made with love...and fresh ingredients full of flavor!! Rama's Bistro is a new must-stop-through for me every time I'm in the area, and I recommend everyone!

Here's what this place is not-- fancy, pretentious, romantic, stylish, high brow, complicated or expensive..... what it is-- a simple eatery with oh so many menu offerings made with honest ingredients by a family that puts their heart into their craft. I had the turkey club on GF bread with a salad while wife and son enjoyed the turkey panini and loaded baked potato soup. All delicious, all fresh, all copious, and for great value. The guac and salsa app was all in house made in an obvious and refreshing way!!! If you find yourself in Rifle, this place is worth the exit off of 70. And if you can't find anything off of their overly extensive menu, then we'll..... that's your problem!

Overall, not a bad spot in a town that doesn't have much. The restaurant was clean and the menu was large. We would come back again.

On my way to Palisade, I stopped in Rifle for dinner. I previously visited Rib City way back in…read more2018. It has a local vibe with lots of choices and specials. Staff were easy going. I ordered an unsweetened iced tea despite most restaurants wanting you to purchase alcohol. My server was Tricia. She was great. I got the new appetizer, Corn Fritters with a spicy ranch dip. Definite comfort food. They were running a smokehouse special of 1/2 rack ribs + a 2nd meat for only $22. It includes two sides. I got the corn on the cob and a side salad. A large piece of Texas toast is included. 1/2 rack was 5 ribs and my 2nd meat was bbq chicken. There were several sauces available for the meats. I was able to get oil & vinegar which is rare for a dressing. The corn sat in a small saucer with melted butter. Nice touch. The wooden skewer made it easy to salt & pepper it, then pour the butter over all. So despite this feast, I opted for the Chocolate Cream Pie. A tall rich pie on an Oreo cookie crust. Yummy. They offer a 2% discount to avoid a card fee if you paid cash, like I did. So a great meal + tip for only $48.

Staff was pleasant but very inattentive. Food was mediocre at best particularly for the cost…read more Restaurant was clean and well lit. I'm thinking the food is not smoked onsite and may in fact be sourced from another company. I've never seen pulled pork served presauced (similar to something you'd buy at a grocery store). But I'm from Kansas City so bbq is our specialty! Would not recommend this restaurant to true bbq aficionados

It took about 25 mins to get water and drink orders in. At this time we also ordered shrimp cocktail as an app. The shrimp cocktail was good, the drinks were ok. Fair for the price point I guess. I ordered the salmon, my parents got the top sirloin steaks. My salmon was good but what I would have expected for the 30 dollar price point. My parents sirloin... bad. I hate to say it, but it tasted like the first steak a middle school son tries to grill for the first time. My dads wasn't even one steak, it was chunks of meat, probably the trimmings... they ordered it medium and it was past well done - we left dinner with half of a 5oz steak untouched. Our server was friendly but that only goes so far. We are gonna go somewhere else next time and not recommend this further. For 130 dollars for three people, I have to give this a 1/5 because of poor food and slow service.

We stopped by this deli after a hike and we were blown away by how good everything was! The meatloaf sandwich and the Philly cheesesteak were both absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. My friend ordered the Reuben and couldn't stop raving about it, she said it was the best she's had in years! Portions were generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the prices were more than fair for the quality you get. If you're looking for a spot with great food, friendly service, and real value, this place is a must-try. We'll definitely be coming back! read more
