Outside

I've been coming for years! Good portions & the fries are the best. My go to is the Gyro plate!

Pizza puff

This is the second time I've been here. It's a good local spot. Yes, it seems like the owner on the register never smiles or presents a positive customer experience. However, the Mexicans doing the cooking always give you a smile and tell you to have a nice day while they hand you your food. They have seating inside and outside. One of the stools inside needs to be fixed. Lots of parking. I ordered an Italian beef with sweet peppers and a pizza puff. The meat in the Italian beef is not dry, it's moist throughout. The pizza puff has a crunchy exterior and ample filling on the inside. Portions are pretty good. I did order gyros and a burger in the past, both were delicious. The portions for those were huge. Definitely a solid lunch choice.

Gyro yummy!!!

Edit: Tried the gyro today($10 by itself) The meat was juicy,the pita and tomatoes were fresh. The tzatziki could have been better,it tasted like plain Greek yogurt with no lemon,mint,or cucumbers and a tiny bit of dill. I will definitely eat it again for the juicy,well seasoned meat! It doesn't include fries so add some if you want,but it's definitely a filling pita.

Look at this!!!  a free fist bump  Should I use it now or save it for later?

We were looking for a location to hold a meeting for the Chicago Area eBay and eCommerce Sellers…read moreMeetup Group, and The Ridge was an excellent choice. The staff was very accommodating and provided us with a separate area away from the main restaurant, which was quiet and ideal for conducting our meeting. Our server, Eva, was wonderful. She brought our drinks quickly, and everyone's food was served promptly, accurately, and perfectly prepared. Since each attendee had a separate check, we especially appreciated every bill was handled correctly. We had a great experience and will definitely return to The Ridge for future meetings.

Today was the worst. This could easily be one of my 5-star hidden gems. But I'm done. First time…read morehere I ordered a Skirt Steak Sandwich. It was superb. Came with fries and soup of the day. 2nd time here I ordered something else. Just plain average diner food. But ordered the steak again for my third time and was impressed once again. Kept coming back, if only for that one standout. Been here at least a dozen times, ordering the steak to go mostly (actually sat down with family twice). Sadly, subsequent steaks were not as consistent. Often, they are tough. Once, they forgot the jalapeños. But twice now, they've messed up my soup. I never tasted their minestrone, despite having ordered it twice (not counting a third time where it was eaten by a family member). Got cream of chicken rice both times. WTF is wrong with these people? Less than a mile from home, great service. They just don't know how to make steak or differentiate between soups (Hint: Minestrone is reddish-brown, cream of chicken rice is white). Really gave this place too many second chances based on my first 2 steak experiences (and a few other ones scattered in between the non-acceptables). Today, not only shoe-leather steak, but the wrong soup once again.
