This is a great mom and pop shop. They have the best variety of comfort food in town. Ramsey's is not a fancy place but it's comfortable and calm. The food is generally consistently above average. There isn't anything flashy on the menu but if you want food like your mom or grandma made this is the place. The servers change frequently and some are better than others but the kitchen seems to get the food out quickly every time. Great "hole in the wall " place. You won't find it on TV but if you want a good quick home cooked meal, this is the place. read more

ALWAYS good food and fast and friendly service! You will never leave hungry, the portions are HUGE!

We had a party of 8 and Tasha was our server. She was PERFECT!!! She took our orders which consisted of changes and special requests without writing anything down!!! The food arrived with NO mistakes and she was Johnny on the spot for all of our needs. People who leave negative reviews need to think before they type and walk a mile in other people's shoes. Thanks Ramsey's for a fantastic end to our fabulous family weekend!!! read more

Ramsey's Restaurant - New American Near Me - Victoria, Texas

This place was amazing service and food! But don't fill up on the salad cause you will not be able to eat your main course. I packed my left overs for lunch tomorrow. A must try restaurant if your in the Victoria, TX. read more

This was our first visit, we will absolutely be back! The Grilled Chicken breast was terrific and the Open Face Roasted Beef sandwich was good as well. The service was awesome, she was very attentive to our needs/request and super friendly! read more

This dive is delicious. We stopped for lunch while driving through town, we did not regret it. It's mom and pop AF. The service is very friendly, and we all loved our meals. I'll definitely stop here when passing through town again. read more

Always a great breakfast. Love the chicken fried steak and biscuits. Will not be disappointed. read more

Decent food, but a bit expensive. We had a basic breakfast with coffee, eggs, toast, sausage, potatoes and a side of grits. Bill for 2 came to just under $28. Service is excellent. Very nice neighborhood feel. read more

Was passing through Victoria on way to Corpus Christi and my teenage son was hungry for a chicken fried steak. The Yelp reviews were fairly positive so decided to stop by. The decor is nice, everything is clean, staff was extremely nice and checked on us frequently. This must be the local hotspot as between 6:30 and 7pm on a Saturday night, the place slowly filled up with locals. The menu is diverse from American to Mexican. The CFS was very good as well as the loaded baked potato. You get a trip to salad bar which was clean, fresh and lots of choices for toppings. We finished our salads about the time the main course was delivered so kitchen seems efficient. read more

Ramsay's is a classic American diner serving traditional comfort food. Think Denny's but WAY better food. I usually get the Country Fried Steak and eggs with hash-browns. The steak was excellent, eggs cooked right, and coffee good. Service is fast and friendly. Ramsay's is definitely worth checking out. Prices are reasonable, food is good, and the atmosphere is classic mom and pop diner. read more

For years my gluten-free girlfriend would not even think about us going in this place.Finally she relented & I was in fried food Heaven lol.Delicious comfort food for those that are not super health conscious. read more

Their breakfast is decent. The lunches are horrible. I had gumbo. I know, my fault for ordering it, but my thinking was, it's supposed to be homestyle cooking, so maybe. Nope. My wife ordered a chicken fried steak and it was horrible too. Her sides were some pale, mushy vegetables and "homemade" mac and cheese. It was bad too. People that give this restaurant good reviews need to raise their standards. Just bad. read more

Food is ok. Service is always excellent. Unfortunately we will not patronize a restaurant with portable toilets in the parking lot. The owner needs to step up the needed repairs. read more

i love this place! the breakfast is amazing every time we come. best bacon and eggs in town!

Best breakfast spot on town by a mile. It's a throwback to the diner days. Great food fast service friendly people.

The flies were horrible! My husband and I had lunch there today. He had the Smothered Round Steak lunch special. It comes with soup of the day, which was Gumbo Soup, cole slaw and desert with potatoes and carrots. I had a cheeseburger and onion rings. He could not cut into the meat and could only eat about half, ate all the potatoes and left the carrots. The Gumbo Soup was delicious. My Cheeseburger was good and the onion rings fair. They did look home made. We will probably go back because he works across the street, but will never get the Smothered Round Steak. read more

that was the most horrible chicken fried steak and chicken fried round steak we have ever had! there was only one waitress and this isn't the first time. so it took forever to get our things. they need to hire help and put some flavor in the food. ridiculous! read more

Food was good but customer service needs an overhaul my server was doing more talking than giving attention to customers , it was my first time going to this restaurant and first impressions are always important to new customers so with that being said I will not be going back read more

No frills. Old fashion dinner type place. Waitresses know all the regulars (which is a lot). Daily specials. Nothing really bad. read more

Where to start. Well, the cleanliness of the "restaurant" rivals that of a chimpanzee cage at the zoo after a being neglected for a decade. Rusted chairs that may prompt you to get an appointment for a tetanus shot after sitting in them. Flat wear and cups that were pressed into service in the early 70s and pose a safety hazard. Trip hazards abound, which seems odd considering the average age of the customers hovers around 70; one fall could end it all. Moving onto the wait staff, it is obvious if you are not part of the club, you are treated differently. Scowls, impatience, and eye-rolling incredulity is par for the course along with the lingering stench of cheap cigarette smoke emanating from their shabby clothes. I don't think the issue is one of cognition concerning the complexities of over-medium vs over-easy, I just think it is a well-honed, highly polished sense of indifference. At any rate, we arrive at the heart of the matter: the food. It is diner food, which is why I went, I like diner food. Perusing the food-stained - latest offers stapled to it - menu, you find a broad selection. We ordered up the huevo rancheros, chicken fried steak, and the salad bar. The only thing that didn't come out of a can on the salad bar was the lettuce itself. I can handle that. What I can't handle is a chicken fried steak that would give beef jerky a run for its money in the realm of amount of chewing it would take to break it down. Coupled with an absolutely flavorless breading and the distinct flavor of years old oil it was fried in, it provides for an olfactory and gustatory experience akin to eating feces. I considered bagging up the 99% I did not risk projectile vomiting to finish, and take it to my dog. After realizing this could lead to charges of animal cruelty, I passed. As far as the huevo rancheros go, their should be a special Latin-American food court that establishments like this could be brought before, and held accountable for defamation of cultural cuisine. Note: if you are having difficulty mastering the pancake, do not attempt such rare and exotic delicacies such as the taco. All of this failure has a bright side. The ambiance is second to none. You will get stared at more by the locals than a topless dancer would be ogled by 14 year old boys. The kind of stare that 3 year old children accomplish because they have not developed social skills yet. Of course it is not a lack of maturity that drives this behavior, but rather a pack mentality that lets you know you are not welcome. Final analysis: If you like to stick to everything you touch/sit on, have a craving for bland, dreary food, and an absolute desire to saturate your body with lard, this is the place for you. You can hang out with the locals and reminisce about the good-old days of segregation, lynchings, and systematic oppression. On the other hand, if you value your time and digestive track, I would advise you to battle some vultures over three-day old roadkill. It will be a far more rewarding culinary experience. read more

If you're ever in Victoria looking for breakfast go here. It's not the prettiest place you will eat but the food was delicious. We were greeted by some of the friendliest people here and seated immediately. We ordered biscuits and gravy, pancakes, omelet, hash browns and some extra biscuits. They were quick and right on point. Definately a must! read more

Oh my goodness where do I start! I have never eaten here before but I had heard about this restaurant for years! I mean for about 10+ years ago, so we finally decided to check it out and....I regret never coming here before!!!! Food is soooo good!!!! read more

After 10 years I visited Victoria again and was delighted to see Ramsey's was still in business and thriving. Ramsey's is one of the more comfortable, homely feeling restaurants I've ever been to. The early morning breakfast was great. read more

Stopped into today for lunch as a first timer and we were very impressed. Everything is homemade and delicious. Great customer service and friendly faces. Will be back! read more

I'm in town for business and Ramseys was very highly recommended. I hate to post negative but we were disappointed big time in the food. Maybe just an off day for the cooks, but the fried catfish and chicken fried steaks we ordered were severely overcooked. Very nice staff and quick service though read more

This is my first ever review! I have been to Ramsey's 2 times. The food wasn't great, the service was nice though. My issue today was a family member called in their order for me to pick up. She told them it would be a few hours before I picked it up. When I got there they had it out on the counter. I asked how long it had been sitting out and she said two hours! I was concerned that it might not be safe to eat at this point. Chuck, the manager, could care less and his response was ," It is fully cooked." When I said that I don't want to risk getting food poisoning he chuckled and walked off. I was going to call and talk to the owner, but a family member said he is worse than the manager. They just don't care about customer service. I will not spend my hard earned money on so so food , with poor customer service. read more

We had a party of 5 and they would not seat us until all were present even though they had plenty of tables available, and even set the tables for us. We waited 20 minutes to be seated. They were rude and condescending about it. Management is clearly losing their focus on their customers. You may want to go elsewhere if you have more than 4. read more

Good down home cooking. Chicken fried steak special was $7.99, 4 pcs fresh made southern fried chicken was only $11.99.great value. Our waitress was friendly and helpful in menu selections. read more

First timers. Brought the family and unfortunately, Victoria disappoints yet again. The meal took a very long time to arrive and when it did, fail. I ordered the 12oz ribeye cooked medium. I received a medium rare to rare cook, beyond that the steak was not flavorful. My wife ordered the round steak and it was bloody. So waiting as long as we did and to still receive raw meats was a complete disappointment. It's been really hard finding a good place to eat here in Victoria. read more

First time going with a girlfriend the other day. Honestly the only reason I've never thought to visit is bc there's no parking, ever but I'm so glad that I got to try this restaurant. I got the special and was surprised at the amount of food I received plus the variety of foods in the menu. It's been awhile that I've seen fresh baked desserts available in a restaurant. The special that I ordered consisted of Chicken fried steak with copious amounts of yummy gravy Green beans German potatoes Cucumber tomato salad Corn bread Rolls Orzo soup Cake And tea for just $10!!!!!! It was all very delicious Great prices Very generous portions Nice waitresses Will be going back read more

This is one of those places that locals enjoy and come to a lot. I'm assuming it's one of those things where you just get used to the way things are and don't notice some things or choose to overlook them because of nostalgia. This is most apparent in the decor and lack of cleanliness at the place. The walls are splattered with bits of food and drink and so much dust. Don't sit near a wall. The waitstaff are very friendly if not the most attentive. Last time I was here there was an entire paper package of Splenda inside the bottom of my glass of tea. Bleh. Our waitress was friendly and apologized and brought me a fresh glass. Getting your waitresses' attention can be difficult though. I have ordered the hamburger steak or the fried catfish. The hamburger is very bland, all you taste is salt. The fries were alright. My catfish was ok but also bland - good size portion though. It seems salt is the main and only flavoring ingredient here. The salad bar is kind of sad - a bunch of canned and pre-packaged things dumped into containers. The menu is deceivingly small - it's mostly ads so at first glance it seems like there are a lot of options but then you realize nope. And that would be fine if they did what they did well but it's nothing exceptional at all. read more

My fiance is a regular here so I'm writing this review on his behalf too. This restaurant serves comfort food, at its best here. I'm impressed that they even make their own raisin cinnabun on a daily base at their dessert/pastry bar. But no worries, if you are watching your weight, well then opt for their salad bar. We had the pleasure of meeting amazing staffs like Nick (the head cook), Nicole (outgoing server), Bianca (the cute one there), Cindy, and Maria. We both wanna thank you to the wonderful experience and delicious food--gonna miss y'all!!! read more

It's most definitively a vintage vibe restaurant. Cinder block walls and brick walls...home-ey. The food is decent, it has a long history in Victoria. It's not high society dining in the mid-size Victoria market. I'm not going to go negative in the review. It's a decent place for "traditional" american cuisine. read more

This was right across from where I used to work, but I only went there once. Because that was enough. Womp, womp. Maybe it was an off day, but I went for lunch and it was kind of cafeteria tasting. I see there are others that enjoyed it, so don't let me rain on your parade. Like I said, I only tried it once. read more

The food is good diner fare. Portions are good. The only problem is when you order the salad bar as a meal (around $8 I think) you only get ONE trip to the salad bar. Not nice. If not for the one-trip salad bar even as a meal problem, I would give this much higher stars. Would recommend. read more

We were visiting in Victoria and came across this little diner. The waitstaff was efficient and friendly. I've found very few places who can make a good over medium egg but they can here. All members of my party had a great experience with their breakfasts as well. If you are looking for an all around basic breakfast experience give Ramsey's a shot! read more

My parents took me here a few weekends ago (yes, sorry I'm late) for a quick dinner. I had the chicken fried steak and salad. The food was ok. It reminded me of the frozen dinner cfs and gravy. Even so, it was edible and I was rather hungry that evening. The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. If I went back, I'd order something a little less complicated. read more

The breakfast is very good (I've never eaten any other meal here). However, they could clean a little better. When they wipe the tables, they wipe around the stuff in the middle. So if you move that stuff it's rather gross. read more
