    Cheese burger
    Rebecca F.

    YUM!! We picked this place because it good looking reviews and proximity to our hotel. I LOVED the Mac and cheese and the corn muffins, they were definitely the best part. Service was fast and friendly! Cute little homey restaurant, definitely had a family-feel to it! Would love to come back again!

    While the restaurant is open for lunch, it is drive-through only at the dinner hour. So, we ended up eating the Friday special-- a 4 meat/ 4 side platter-- at our hotel. There was a lot of food here for $24.93 plus tax, with a bag of pork rinds and an apple crisp bringing the bill up to $36.02. For the meats, we chose brisket, ribs, pulled pork and Italian sausage, and for the sides corn muffins, coleslaw, green beans, and mac 'n cheese. The pork rinds were great, but the heavily sauced ribs proved mushy and bland. The Italian sausage was unremarkable, but the pulled pork was a very tasty bite that we would order again without hesitation. The 4 sides and the apple crisp weren't bad, but there was nothing memorable about any of them. This leaves the brisket, which is the epicenter of the BBQ universe. This was sliced too thick, lacked a pink ring, bark and discernible seasoning, and whatever smokiness it might have once possessed vanished beneath a slathering of sauce. Texture and flavor profile alike called to mind buffet roast beef with sauce added. So, if you dine here, our recommendation is that you go with the pulled pork, and sides of coleslaw and corn muffins.

    Smoker outside!!

    We had a great experience at Ridge View BBQ!! Staff was super nice, restaurant and bathrooms were super clean and the food was delish!! My pulled pork was perfectly done-the sauce had a tiny bit of a kick but excellent flavor!! The Mac & cheese was creamy, hot and super flavorful!! The beans were tasty but the onion was a little strong so that was just a preference issue!

    For dinner we stopped by a Charleston BBQ staple. Ridge View BBQ We ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich platter, a hotdog and cheese fries. The BBQ was super tasty as always. Their baked beans have lots of pulled pork in them as well and are on the sweet side. The potato salad was pretty standard. The cheese fries were regular ol straight cut frozen fries, but the cheese sauce helped them out a lot and they weren't bad. The hotdog was beef, and you knew it the moment you bit into it. The coleslaw was good, but the chili wasn't my favorite; too tangy for my preference. Certain times a year they have ramp pimento cheese and it is the holy grail of cheese spreads.

    This restaurant is OKAY. I truly haven't found a BBQ place since I came home that I can say I would recommend or definitely have to go back to again. The food was good, nothing special to write home about. I would eat here again if I was in the area but Nothing Have to have..

    Ramp Burger wide shot!

    Ok... alright... South Charleston, W. Va. I see what you're doing…read more Was passing through on my way home to SC and I yelped "soul food - Charleston, WV" and this popped up. Since I really only eat one big meal a day I was hoping this'd do. I gave it a shot. Had to park behind the restaurant because I didn't see any parking up front. Nice place. Looks like at night it could be a jumping little spot for drinks. I ordered something simple, fried chicken with yams, greens, and Mac. Great choice! Food was hot and tasty. Good portions too at a decent price. I only had water. If I come back up here I'd hit it again. It's not in the cut but across the river. Good food and good people.

    When I search for a soul food restaurant, I search for food with soul, not food that warms my soul…read more (There's a difference to some people.) The chicken was good, but I expected more seasoning. The greens&yams were phenomenal. The rolls seemed small and store bought, so I wasn't thrilled about that. So all in all, it was pretty good, but I wouldn't say excellent. The waitress was super sweet, and they had a station playing on TV where MJ was still black, so that ups the score for me! The only other complaint I had was that they didn't have grits, and that's what I was really wanting that day. Had to go get them from my usual place after I left. Oh, and the inside of the restaurant was really clean too, which I appreciate. As everyone on here has pointed out, it is a black owned business, so go eat some good food.. and if you have a problem, tell someone, I'm sure they'd accommodate, they seem like good folks.

    Food: ordered the big family meal - needed to serve five people. Was enough food for that many…read morepeople plus some extra. Of all the food in the meal, my family enjoyed the potato salad and the bbq ribs. The chicken seemed like it was canned. The brisket was mostly fat. The pulled pork was dry. The Mac and cheese was bland and the cheesy potato bake tasted off. However, the ribs, which we liked, were very tender and very flavorful. Service: Couldn't have been nicer or more friendly. Ambiance: My family and I don't listen to country, so we aren't good judges of that. But the room was clean and inviting. We also got our food to go, so we aren't good judges for a full review of the ambiance there. Would we go there again? Possibly; if we wanted only ribs. But we'd probably always get it "to-go".

The french fries were freshly made and delicious, salads looked extremely fresh, and the service was quick with a great attitude. The restaurant and bathroom was clean and without any bad odors, wonderful value for lunch. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries as you can see in my photos. Come hungry! Small little unassuming place that truly delivers!

    The waitresses were very nice and friendly. I noticed the place must attract a lot of locals,…read morebecause I heard many were called by name, or the conversations referred to past visits. The place was clean. I ordered traditional hot wings and onion rings. I wish I had ordered the wing sauce on the side. They were like being smothered in soup. But, otherwise, good! I will probably be back when in the area.

    DISCLAIMER: I have had really good BBQ and I have made really good BBQ…read more Have you ever really wanted something so bad but what you got was so disappointing that you still wanted what you wanted in the first place? Well, that is the feeling you will have if you want BBQ and you come here. The customer waiting motioned to me and said, "what ever you do, don't get the mashed potatoes, they are too salty to even eat". Then I told the waitress I was struggling between the pulled pork and chicken which she replied with "if you are going to get any of the meat, the brisket is the only thing worth eating". That was a story made up, the lukewarm to cold brisket was fatty and flavorless...no smoke ring, no crisp, no flavor...gummy and tasteless. My son had their mixture of with a split with pork, chicken, sausage, and mac and cheese. He asked for no slaw and extra mac and cheese instead. The kitchen person came out yelling over to the waitress "did anyone tell them it is just a spoonful so there is no "extra" for not getting it (with air quotes) for her emphasis...we are sitting up front and can hear and see it all. Rude service free of charge. The baked beans were average for canned baked beans microwaved, as we heard the microwave go off and then our food came out. The Mac and cheese was even rejected by our 3 year old granddaughter, so that should be alarming by itself. The potato salad was much like what is in the buckets from Sam's Club. So overall, disappointing would be an improvement. The team was lacklusting, the food would be more satisfying if we chewed on napkins and plates. The service rude at best. The pricing was overreaching. Save your tastebuds, save your money. If this is your last option, it is a good time to start fasting instead of punishing yourself.
