This place is definitely a great spot to catch a quick lunch with friends or a meeting. It's located near RIMAC and LionTree Arena, and a quick walking distance from Hopkins and Pangea parking structures. The menu offerings include a variety of burgers, wings, salads, and drinks for a decent price. Swinging by after class around 3 p.m. on a weekday meant there was no line and also a small number of customers eating. I got the Social burger with fries, which comes with applewood bacon, jalapeno, caramelized onion, tomato, cheddar, and a fried egg. The burger was really messy to eat, but the flavors all went well with each other, and was overall very filling. I think the fries were not the best, however, as they tasted a little raw and the serving could have been a little better. The service was overall good, where the employees were nice, but the food took a little long considering the small amount of customers eating and ordering. I would suggest budgeting around 20 or 30 minutes for an order to come out.
Swung by for lunch after class on a Monday and there were only a couple people in line at the register including us. It is a bit out of the way as Ridgewalk Social is all they way out by RIMAC, but after trying it, I will 100% be back as this has to be the best place to eat on campus by far. The prices are super fair and the quality of the food is ridiculous. There is indoor and plenty of outdoor seating as well and the wait for food was about only about 10 minutes. The Social (4.5/5): Super high quality burger with the addition of crunchy, fatty bacon and a sunny side up egg is perfection. The runny yolk adds a beautiful creaminess to every bite. The Chicken Deluxe (4/5): The fried chicken has clearly been flattened to get an even cook and it definitely paid off in moist, crunchy bites. If they sold bottles of the sauce, I would definitely drink it straight up. Veggies are super fresh and help curb the guilt of more bacon. The fries and side salad (4.25/5): The quality of the sides are through the roof. The side salad absolutely blew my expectations considering it was complementary and you can never go wrong with well-seasoned, golden fries.
This is a nice on-campus cafe located right next to the UCSD vaccine superstation. Because the demand is subsiding, the station will be disassembled at the end of this month. This also means that Ridgewalk Social will be temporarily closed until September when the students return for the fall semester. Most of their business from the past few months was coming from people who were lining up to be vaccinated. Salads, chicken wings, burgers, and wraps were the main food categories. I bought a Chicken Deluxe to-go which was a crispy spiced brined chicken breast with applewood bacon, pickles, tomato, lettuce, and a special sauce. I chose a house salad as a side instead of hand cut french fries. The sandwich was large and nicely assembled so the $11 price tag was well justified. No dressing was offered with the salad which I don't know was an oversight or not. It could have used a small cup of vinaigrette. One issue that stood out was the 30-minute preparation time for the sandwich. I came in the late afternoon so it was well after the peak hours of business. There were four orders placed ahead of me, and it appeared that those customers were waiting quite a while for their food too.
My visit to Ridgewalk Social was really good. Greeted by staff as I walked in and told me there is no rush to order. They recommended me to get the fries because its their most popular. I was excited since it had been a minute since I've had loaded fries, and it hit just right. Very delicious but not the best meal if you're on a cut. Definitely need at least 2 people to finish this. Sadly, the downside is that it was REALLY REALLY greasy. Had to pull out some napkins and dry it up because you could even taste the oil more than the fries. Still good tho!
ok so i stopped by here for some lunch before my classes. i ordered the RS burger. took a bit to come out but it was pretty busy so i can't complain bout that. but man that burger was absolutely fabulous. for around 13 and some change, you get a giant burger n fries. i think that's a really solid deal for a freshly cooked burger. vegetables on it tasted rly fresh too. really well cooked patty too. it was oozing juices all up on my hand. pause. but yeah the burger is really good. the lil sauce on it tasted really good too. i'm tryna remember what their sauce reminds me of but i can't get my tongue on it lol!! oh yeah but the fries are some buns. they lowkey on par with in n out fries, just slightly better. they are freshly fried, however they got the texture of cardboard. also a lil bit underseasoned too. but yeah otherwise a great meal for lunch. oh and also the dude at the front working is always very nice. i see him err time i come to get wings for nba night. and he's usually very hospitable. good service and good food. fries buns
Yet to be disappointed from this place.. I've never eaten so much salad, the house salad is the best!
I love Ridgewalk! The flavors and presentations are amazing. The burgers, super flavorful and have a great sauce! Salads and wraps are fresh and lively. Service is friendly and quick.
The place may look intimidating but the prices are fair and definitely worth the money. A friend and I came here the other day and we were thoroughly impressed. The burger reminded us of In-N-Out's boujee stockbroker brother. As people who don't typically eat salads, we might just start eating them from here. We got the brussel caesar salad and were amazed at how non- nasty and brussely it tasted. Now don't even get me started on the buttery buns in the burger, definitely made the burger that more tasty. AND THE PITA BREAD FOR THE SALAD!!! 10/10 meal and service... the wings were crispy and saucy which is always a good sign :) would definitely recommend this place for those who need a break from bland dining hall food! And a great spot to clear your head at and do schoolwork after a meal.
I got a chicken deluxe, mango habernero wings, and fries. Fries came with the chicken sandwich and +$2.00 for wings. I really like this place because the food was good quality and reasonable price so I would come back!
THIS PLACE IS THE BEST ON CAMPUS DINING!! Came in during covid with a group of friends and we ordered the social, the double, and the Veg and they were all so delicious! The french fries are BOMB and the service is great!
A great spot to grab a burger and chicken tenders and really good wraps I think that the basic flavors and the sauces and the variety that Ridgewalk gives meets every student need and the price is not too bad. I would say comparable with any place outside of campus this is definitely a spot to grab a bite to eat and if you're going from class to class definitely you should stop here and grab food. read more
Loved the Baja Chicken Wrap. The fries weren't my favorite; they were too starchy(?) and not crispy. Portion size is great for the price. This was less than $13 and more than enough for 2 people. There's also plenty of seating with ambient outdoor lights at night. read more

If you enjoy a good burger/comfort food, check this place out! The RS Burger and fries get 10/10 in my book. The positives: indoor/outdoor seating, the food was made with all fresh ingredients, really good beer selection, and staff is very polite. read more

Best restaurant on campus as far as I'm concerned. 11.75 after tax for a huge burger with all the fixings and a whopping serving of fries. The cooks in there are killing it, cashier is awesome, and the music is always hitting. The location is hard to beat, right next door to Rimac and the Rady business school, super clean, great seating options and great views. read more
