    This is a pretty good place to eat. The food was good, as was the staff. My husband had a Reuben and I had a roast beef cheddar sandwich. We also had the chicken tortilla soup which was very good and potato salad. They have a good selection. Only one thing troubled me and that was the ceiling that is messed up and the service area, otherwise very nice place. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy food.

    Smells great... quality of wrap.... ehhhhh. It's more hollow than one of those cheap Chocolate Easter Bunnies. Soup was good.Service was quick. But, no it's the no meat that got me. Come on yall.

    We are plant-exclusive eaters, and leave many restaurants with "We should have stayed home." Not here! The food was fresh, hot food was hot, the cold food was cold. We were able to order everything to our taste. I was surprised this is a chain, as I've never heard of it or seen one before. The property was extremely clean and comfortable, and there was no LOUD awful music at lunchtime. I had a giant baked potato with vegetables, hold the cheese (spinach, broccoli, bell peppers and red onions...ordered with double vegetables for $1 more) and the veggie chili (it has delicious beans and is completely meatless). My boyfriend had the veggie wrap, hold the mayo and a side of steamed broccoli with a plain baked potato. Of course we poured the chili on the spuds!! We immediately looked up the name, and there's one not too far from home, so we'll definitely be showing up there soon! Well done, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you. We left with no regrets.

    they don't offer the best sandwich anymore -- muffalatta! I would give them a zero for this one bad thing. Don't bother going.

    My wife and I decided to try out Ralph's Burger during the Home and Garden show at the WEC. Boy…read morewere we surprised to see this placed packed! In addition to the Home and Garden show, there were horse jumping competitions and apparently some tour groups with their yellow lanyards hanging on their necks. Needless to say, we waited in line a while and had to hunt for tables and chairs. Fortunately, my wife and I "divided and conquered" as she secured a table (which we happily shared with another couple after my wife wiped it off with a wet wipe) and I stood in line to place our orders. I ordered the Southwest Burger ($17) and my wife ordered the Patty Melt ($14.75). Both came with fries. We just had water. The wait was longer than we thought (the place was truly packed). My burger had good flavor but thought the burger patty was a bit overdone for my tastes. My wife liked her patty melt and thought it was full of flavor as well but would've preferred the marble rye to be grilled instead of toasted. All in all, despite the crowd which we thought may have affected their execution a bit, we thought of our experience a positive one. We might consider trying out their breakfast when we decide to head back out to WEC for a Sunday service in their quaint chapel. NOTE: I neglected to take pictures since the long wait left us famished.

    Quite the rollercoaster experience at Ralph's Burgers! The emotional highs and lows were almost…read morelike a mini-drama in themselves. The Southwest Burger looked promising with its chipotle aioli and candied bacon, it was a gastro-enthusiast's masterpiece, but the service? Yikes. Many other interesting burgers, sandwiches, shakes, and cake concoctions were on the menu, but my decision was set in stone. The anticipation of that first bite of the burger was going to cure my animalistic hunger as we headed to the counter and met with the cashier, Denise. She literally sounded like a robot requesting the choice of hamburgers and toppings. Then rudely explained the credit card payment options. I thought to myself, am I on a hidden camera television show? Absolutely zero personality, which sadly just severely diminished my highly anticipated Ralph's Burgers experience. Wait there's more...Emotionally defeated, I made payment for the food and still left a $12.00 TIP for Denise to merely enter my order into the computer. We all self-serve at the fountain drink station and find comfortable refuge at a quaint table. About ten minutes later, Denise yells my name alerting me that our food order was ready and I instantly acknowledged. Oddly, she yells to me, "I Need Hands!!!", as she just stood motionless behind the counter holding two of our food trays. It felt like a walk of shame to take possession of our food. Took a few minutes to shake off our initial contact with Denise and finally dug into that beautiful long awaited burger. Holy smokes, the chipotle and candied bacon were integrated perfectly with the juicy cooked beef along with big golden onion rings as a perfect sidekick. The World Equestrian Center provides unparalleled service at their luxurious estate, which I have witnessed during my stay, thus, if aware, this type of unprofessionalism toward customers and guests would never be tolerated. This experience definitely makes for an interesting holiday memory! It's just a shame that something as simple as friendly service couldn't make it even more memorable.

I always order the traditional breakfast which is more than enough food for one meal. It may be pricey ($14.29), but in this case you get what you pay for and it's worth every penny!

    My parents and i came in and it was busy (not packed, which was good bc another First Watch we went…read moreto was packed). I askef if we could get seated outdoors since it wad cold inside and we got sat immediately. Our server was somewhat attentive (asked if we're ready to order, waited a couple more minutes for us to finish deciding). One of the menu items she said something wrong which was fine, i'm glad she tried to ensure I don't get an ingredient that I didn't want on a separate item. The foodrunner was absolutely great! Her attentiveness and overall attitude were great! I wish i got her name so i could give her props on here! The server checked up on us right after the food got to our table and we told her of some things we asked the runner for, but after that did not check on if we got it, how the food was, or if we wanted anything else. She passed by later and dropped the receipt with no explanation or reassurance like a "does everything look good on the receipt?" Or a "if everything looks good you can head up to the front and pay" (we did not know we need to pay up front so we stayed at the table waiting for her to get the card which she didnt check on or point out after 10-15 minutes of us sitting doing nothing). The food was delicious in my opinion. I got the 2 for you with the monterey club and the chicken avocado chop with a pueple haze (i unfortunately did not get a picture of them) but they were good quantity and quality for the price. The price of both is almost the same as if you bought any of them individually (they serve half the portion of each for the 2 for you) but i personally like the variety and trying both items. The salad only had two slices of avocado though which was slightly disappointing but it all tasted delicious. I think it's the best food i had in first watch ever!
